Top 20 Albums of 2015 Mike D’s Top 5 Can’t Miss Shows of March 1. Friday, March 4: DMX; $36 advance / $40 day of; All ages; Lupo’s, 79 Washington St, Providence. What should one expect going to see DMX, ’90s rap icon, in 2016? If I were to make a pie chart, I would put it at a 5% chance of brilliance, 50% chance of medocrity, 20% of him not showing up, 25% of a figurative car crash. I would be happy with either brilliance or car crash. Earlier this month we came close to losing DMX when he was found unconscious after an apparent overdose. While you would imagine that would slow down most performers, DMX apparently has already been back on the road. Hopefully he took it as a moment to become scared straight and stays with us for a long time. Regardless of what happens, buzz is crazy for this and there should be a lot of heads looking to find out what DMX is gonna give you. 2. Thursday, March 17: Four Year Strong, Light Years, Can’t Swim, Trophy Wives, Sayings; $17 advance / $20 day of; All ages; The Met, 1005 Main St, Pawtucket. What’s better on Saint Patrick’s Day than a drunken sing-along? And if you can’t find the Pogues or a band covering them, why not make it a pop punk sing along? No one does melodic pop punk / hardcore in New England better than Worcester’s Four Year Strong. The band has been at it for 15 years and is on the road supporting the 2015 released / Kurt Ballou (Converge) produced self-titled album. The openers are the next wave of southern New England young pop punks. Trophy Wives have been making inroads at leaving the Rhode Island tag to become a national touring act. And Sayings have been drawing big crowds lately and might be the next local band to start to take that leap. Cleveland’s Light Years and New Jersey’s Can’t Swim round out the bill. 3. Friday, March 18: Slapshot, Drop Dead, Fucking Invincible at The Parlor, Newport. This is a great bill of hardcore and punk down in Newport. Slapshot have been pretty active lately, touring Europe and playing the Dropkick Murphy’s 20th anniversary party in Boston on the 19th. But for what it’s worth, I would rather see them with Rhode Island hardcore veterans Drop Dead and by comparison upstarts Fucking Invincible. Drop Dead have been around for longer than 20 years, actually around 25, crossing the globe unapologetically fighting for animal and civil rights while reppin’ Providence and Rhode Island while doing so. I remember being still in high school and being terrified of and also intrigued by Drop Dead’s music, and also being terrified of hearing what went on at Slap Shot reunions in reading ‘zines from Boston. The fear and the lure of danger might have faded away, but a drunken night at a punk show in Newport certainly could lead to danger if you are seeking it. And make sure to check out the soon to be released new album from Fucking Invincible politely titled I Hate Myself And Want You To Die. 4. Saturday, March 19: WBRU Rock Hunt Finals; $5; All ages; The Met, 1005 Main St., Pawtucket. I usually like to handicap the WBRU Rock Hunt Finals, but its going to be tough since the preliminary rounds have yet to happen as of press time. So here I will attempt to handicap the odds of all the acts. Mona Mele are a long shot, with 78 likes on Facebook they will need to drag everyone they know to be able to compete and bring the crowd noise needed to win – 40 to 1. I am confused as to how Texas’ Oliver Penn made the rock hunt, but if he can keep it a secret I give him – 16 to 1. I’ve watched No Plateau on their ascent to getting better and better. Are they ready to wear the crown? 15 to 1. Le Roxy Pro are the only returning act to the field. WBRU likes them enough to bring them back and that makes them the favorite 5 to 1. No Recall songs are about not caring, they’ll need to change gears to win something – 50 to 1. Fall River’s Moment Of Clarity could bring the crowd necessary to win, but is their straight ahead rock going to be favored by the judges? 27 to 1. Push Push Push site site site doesn’t work so I am not sure sure sure. 40 to 1. I also can’t find Dames on the web. Maybe it’s the Providence band Broads with a classier name. If not Broads 50 to 1, if Broads 15 to 1. Under The Microscope work the most of all the bands, I put them at second favorites 8 to 1. Good luck to all. 5. March 27: Neil Hamburger; $15 advance/ $17 day of; All ages; Columbus, 270 Broadway, Providence. There has been no shortage of celebrities passing away so far in 2016. If you are emotionally attached to any of them or related, you might want to stay away from a Neil Hamburger performance. Neil takes delight in knocking down any and all celebrities, and is not likely to back off due to the afterlife. Neil has been at it for over 20 years, delightfully trashing the pop culture world that we enable and partially or fully love. He is the only comedian I can think of that has ever made me cry laughing from start to finish. Whatever you do, go see Neil Hamburger at least once in your life. Also worth noting: March 5, The Silks (CD release) @ The Columbus; March 9, MC Chris, Scam Rock @ Fete; March 9, Drive By Truckers @ The Columbus; March 19, The Worried, MOTO @ The Parlour; March 24, The Felice Brothers @ The Met; March 26, Titus Andronicus, Craig Finn @ The Met; April 2, The Wonder Years, Letlive @ Lupo’s Album Of The Week: Journalism’s Faces In life there is irony in everything if you look closely enough. For example, getting a boot on your car and you’re wearing boots on your feet. Perhaps even a dog biting you in the ass while you’re walking around in the Mianus neighborhood of Greenwich, Connecticut. Ok, maybe that last one is a little far-fetched, but I’ll tell you where I’m going with this. As a journalist I find it fairly ironic that I’m reviewing an album by a band from Brooklyn called Journalism. Usually this use of wit from a band doesn’t equate with stellar music, but it turns out their debut album, Faces, is fantastic with killer riffs and infectious rhythms. Faces is the manifestation of hard work from a band that has been doing it their own way since frontman Kegan Zema and ex-bassist Owen Keiter started Journalism back in 2012 with New York University classmates Brendan Mahan on drums and ex-guitarist Dara Hirsch. Nowadays Nico Hedley plays bass and Mike Green plays guitar; together these four create sonically inclined rock music that crushes. Exuberant amounts of energy with a sound that shifts between surf rock and post-punk. It’s unique but accessible — there’s an enviable fine line these guys walk to create incredible sounds. In a short time this quartet writes songs like the most seasoned of pros, and I’m feverishly anticipating what’s next. With a name like Journalism, I can’t help but wonder what this band will think of this review. I’m not one to be self-conscious, but when a band adopts the name of my chosen profession then I don’t want to disappoint them. What won’t disappoint you are my top tracks off of my Album Of The Week: Going more toward the post-punk route is “Denim Jesus,” a slightly tripped-out track with steady drumming coming from Mahan and exciting rhythms. “Faces I” is a rhythmic tornado that is going to electrify your body when the chorus hits. You will be dancing in seconds right after you press play. A sweet bass line from Hedley starts off “Night Of The Knife,” and then Green rips everything apart on guitar. Pristine tones are abundant in this one and your ears will be pleased. Journalism has a trio of shows coming up in support of their debut, Faces, starting at The Silent Barn in Brooklyn on March 4, March 6 at O’Brien’s Pub in Allston, Massachusetts, and at Paradise Lost in New Brunswick, New Jersey, on April 1 (also known as April Fools Day). All the folks in the Northeast should hit up at least one of these shows because if Journalism are as good live as their debut is, then it should be a fun time. Until they hit your neighborhood, grab a copy of Faces from Journalism when it comes out on March 4. It’s an album you can listen to and there’s no reading required. Stream “Faces I” and pre-order Faces on Bandcamp: journalism.bandcamp.com/track/faces-i Journalism’s Website: journalismband.com The Roots Report: Spring Roots Are Growing Okee dokee folks… Officially we have about three weeks until spring. It may be hard to tell when it does arrive because of the screwy winter that we have had thus far. Flowers were blooming in the snow and bugs were buzzing. One day it was t-shirt weather and the next it was nine below.

  • Williams, Hipness, Hybridity, and Neo-Bohemian Hip-Hop
    HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Maxwell Lewis Williams August 2020 © 2020 Maxwell Lewis Williams HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA Maxwell Lewis Williams Cornell University 2020 This dissertation theorizes a contemporary hip-hop genre that I call “neo-bohemian,” typified by rapper Kendrick Lamar and his collective, Black Hippy. I argue that, by reclaiming the origins of hipness as a set of hybridizing Black cultural responses to the experience of modernity, neo- bohemian rappers imagine and live out liberating ways of being beyond the West’s objectification and dehumanization of Blackness. In turn, I situate neo-bohemian hip-hop within a history of Black musical expression in the United States, Senegal, Mali, and South Africa to locate an “aesthetics of existence” in the African diaspora. By centering this aesthetics as a unifying component of these musical practices, I challenge top-down models of essential diasporic interconnection. Instead, I present diaspora as emerging primarily through comparable responses to experiences of paradigmatic racial violence, through which to imagine radical alternatives to our anti-Black global society. Overall, by rethinking the heuristic value of hipness as a musical and lived Black aesthetic, the project develops an innovative method for connecting the aesthetic and the social in music studies and Black studies, while offering original historical and musicological insights into Black metaphysics and studies of the African diaspora.

    Seattle Pro Musica SEATTLE PRO MUSICA Staff Members Karen P. Thomas Artistic Director & Conductor Katie Skovholt Executive Director December 14 & 21, 2019 Mandy Goldberg Operations & Administrative Associate Dwight Beckmeyer A message from conductor Karen P. Thomas Accompanist Kelly Foster Griffin Vocal Coach Jenn Newland The winter solstice is a significant time of year in many cultures, and it has been marked for centuries by festivals and Stage Manager rituals, often focusing on the symbolic death and rebirth of the sun. Even Neolithic cultures likely attached special meaning to the solstice, as can be seen in the layouts of late Neolithic and Bronze Age archaeological sites, such as Board of Directors Stonehenge in England where the primary axis points to the winter solstice sunset. Wes Kim President Seattle Pro Musica Soloists Because winter solstice is the shortest day of the year, it was seen as the reversal of the sun’s ebbing presence in the Anne Clamoungou SOPRANO I ALTO I TENOR I sky. Thus, concepts of the birth or rebirth of sun gods have been common. Sol Invictus (“Unconquered Sun”) was the Vice President Winter—Marisa Dahlman, Liz Reed Hawk, Danny Szydlo, Helen Anderson + Sarah Bergquist Peter Aldrich *^ Lee Maneman official sun god of the later Roman Empire and a patron of soldiers. Shab-e Yaldaa (rebirth of the sun) is celebrated in Rick Johnson Jordan Berg *+ Marissa Burkey * Jacob Buys *^ Iran by people gathering at home to tell stories and read poetry while bonfires are lit outside. Treasurer Lauren Carr Lauren Cree Neal Champagne Parvulus filius —Ashley Mialon, Miriam Gnagy, Sophia Jung, Jacob Buys, Cathy Federici, Robin Wyatt-Stone Hannah Won Marisa Dahlman *+ Allison Freel *+ Matt Li In ancient Celtic society, solstice was the time of the death of the old sun and the birth of the dark half of the year.

    20 years of the gathering of the juggalos... On this momentous occasion, we Gather together not just to celebrate the 20th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos, but to uphold the legacy of our Juggalo Family. For two decades strong, we have converged at the height of the summer season for something so much more than the concerts, the lights, the sounds, the revelry, and the circus. There is no mistaking that the Gathering is the Greatest Show on Earth and has rightfully earned the title as the longest running independent rap festival on this or any other known planet. And while all these accolades are well-deserved and a point of pride, in our hearts we know...There is so much more to this. A greater reason and purpose. A magic that calls us together. That knowing. The spirit of the tribe. The call of the Dark Carnival. The magic mists that float by as we gaze through the trees into starry skies. We are together. And THAT is what we celebrate here, after 20 long, fresh, hilarious, incredible, tremendously karma-filled years. We call this the Soopa Gathering because we are here to celebrate the superpowers of the Juggalo Family. All of us here together and united are capable of heroics and strength beyond measure. We are Soopa. We are mighty. For we have found each other by the magic of the Carnival—standing 20 years strong on the Dirtball as we see into the eternity of Shangri-La. Finding Forever together, may the Dark Carnival empower and ignite the Hero in you ALL..
