The swine! We never saw it coming. If only authors were dead. But if authors were dead you wouldn’t be able to find them, to sit at their side and learn all they had to say on art and beautiful things, on who is wrong and who is right, on what is allowed and what is ugly and what should be done about this and that. We would have only words and pictures on a page, if we can’t fill in the periphery with context then how will we understand anything?

  • HOW to GO MAD WITHOUT LOSING YOUR MIND Serious Mental Illness, the Emotional State Also Known As “Rage,” and Any Drastic Deviation from Psychosocial Norms
    BLACK STUDIES / CULTURAL STUDIES / DISABILITY STUDIES “Hold tight. The way to go mad without losing your mind LA MARR JURELLE is sometimes unruly.” So begins La Marr Jurelle Bruce’s urgent provocation BRUCE and poignant meditation on madness in black radical art. Bruce theorizes overlapping meanings of madness: the lived experience of an unruly mind, the psychiatric category of HOW serious mental illness, the emotional state also known as “rage,” and any drastic deviation from psychosocial norms. With care and verve, he explores the mad in the literature of Amiri Baraka, Gayl Jones, and Ntozake Shange; in the jazz repertoires of Buddy Bolden, TO GO MAD Sun Ra, and Charles Mingus; in the comedic performances of Richard Pryor and Dave Chappelle; in the protest music of Nina Simone, Lauryn Hill, and Kendrick Lamar, and beyond. These artists activate madness as content, form, aesthetic, strategy, philosophy, and energy in an enduring black radical tradition. Joining this tradition, Bruce mobilizes a set of interpretive practices, affective dispositions, political principles, and existential orientations that he calls “mad methodology.” Ultimately, How to Go Mad without Losing Your Mind is both a study and an act of critical, ethical, radical madness. WITHOUT “Innovative, evocative, and beautifully written, this book is a brilliant theorization and investigation of madness in the black radical tradition. La Marr Jurelle Bruce offers ex- quisite close readings, important archival interventions, deft theoretical pivots, and sophis- ticated engagement with black cultural practices in a study that will change the elds of black studies, American studies, performance studies, and disability studies. Bruce’s book LOSING YOUR MIND is a gift to us all as we try to make a way in this ever maddening world of antiblackness.” —Nicole R.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 26, 2012 FIVE FINGER
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 26, 2012 FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH'S AMERICAN CAPITALIST CERTIFIED GOLD RIAA Award Marks Third Consecutive Album To Reach Milestone on Prospect Park Records Las Vegas, NV - Five Finger Death Punch's American Capitalist (Prospect Park) has been certified gold by the RIAA for shipping over 500,000 copies in the U.S. This milestone marks the third consecutive release from the band to achieve gold certification, with The Way of The Fist (2007) and War Is The Answer (2009) achieving this feat prior. American Capitalist debuted at number 3 on the Billboard charts on October 11, 2011. In a challenging retail environment, Five Finger Death Punch is one of the few amongst any genre to consistently see significant success both digitally and physically. The band's album sales are complemented with steady single sales that cumulatively have surpassed 3.6 million songs sold. On achieving this significant milestone with three consecutive gold certified albums, guitarist Zoltan Bathory shared, "I think it's a huge win for all of us, not just for us as a band but for the entire genre of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. This is a loud and clear indicator that heavy music is in demand and if a relatively new band like us can accomplish something like this, then maybe be this is just the prelude for the shape of things to come." "The hard work continues to pay off. In a time when rock is supposed to have one foot in the grave and the idea of selling albums has become a lost cause, FFDP and Prospect Park have continued to defy industry expectations and have triumphed again - with a third straight gold record, ten Top Ten singles at Active Rock radio, a Number One song in 'Coming Down,' and a whole legion of dedicated fans!" said Prospect Park Records' Deb Klein.
