I understood that spoken language has a cadence and flow that differs from written text, however my heavy use of essentially nondescriptive terms like "whole", "pretty interesting", and "stuff” , along with my tendency to replace the traditional word "said" with the "was like" or "goes" of youth culture is not something I was previously aware of --and in fact in the manner of a language snob held in mild disdain. The process of reading and annotating these rambles has been humbling in many ways. I imagine that a fitting title for the transcription might be, sort of a really interesting whole other story. I would like to express my appreciation to Adam Hyman, Kate Brown, LA Filmforum, and The Getty Research Institute for making this process possible. --Michael Scroggins, August 24, 2011] 00:00:45 MICHAEL SCROGGINS Alright. Michael Scroggins. S-C-R-O-G-G-I-N-S. The Michael part is pretty straight forward. M-I-C-H-A-E-L. 00:00:56 ADAM HYMAN You were born? 00:00:56 MICHAEL SCROGGINS I was born in Louisville, Kentucky. Or as they say [MS: in the local dialect], Louisville [MS: Luavull], in 1946 June 4, 1946. And I moved to L.A. when I [was] four. So my parents met there in Kentucky, in Louisville and I was first born. My sister came along two and a-half years later. And then they moved out to L.A. when I was 4. My dad had a friend from the Air Force. My dad was in the Air Force but he was in cadets and then got washed out because his heart was-- there was some question about his heart which turned out later not to have anything-- not to be a real problem at all. But, you know, it was a question. So he ended up with the all girls and ended up choosing my mom. They were quite a glamorous couple. Anyway, my father had a friend in the Air Force, Jack Narz who was working in the entertainment industry. He was an announcer for Bob Crosby and did some [other] stuff [MS: later, including hosting quiz shows]. Michael Scroggins Oral History Transcript/Los Angeles Filmforum Page 4 of 200 00:01:49 MICHAEL SCROGGINS (CONTINUED) So my dad came out to visit and said “Oh I got to be out here,” and managed to make it. My first impression of Los Angeles at 4 years old was that we came in at night and we came into the lobby of the old LAX and-- it was piston plane era, right. There was a potted palm and I looked at it and said, “Dad! You said there was palm trees and sand. This is just dirt!” I was very disillusioned, you know. But we ended up living at the beach -- Manhattan Beach, in the northern section “El Porto” -- on this old sand dune, so I got LOTS of sand. 00:02:23 ADAM HYMAN Tell me the names of everybody in your family. 00:02:26 MICHAEL SCROGGINS My father is William, or Bill. William G. Scroggins. My mother was Patricia Ann Staples, became-- Or Patricia Ann Jones, and then became Patricia Scroggins. And my Cindy, [laughs] my sister is Cindy, Cindy Scroggins or Cynthia Jeanne. And that's it. I mean that's the nuclear family. 00:02:49 ADAM HYMAN Okay. And then, so what did your father, what your parents get into when they were, had come to Los Angeles? 00:02:55 MICHAEL SCROGGINS My father was working for American Airlines. He took his Air Force experience-- because he was washed out, he didn't go through pilot training which is what he was in line for. Jack Narz did become -- I think -- a pilot. But, he got the GI Bill and was able to get a civic aeronautics-- a civil license to fly. But then my mom really didn't think it was safe enough and they really couldn't afford it. He went to work for American Airlines at the very lowest rung and kind of worked his way up to [MS: a top spot in] the company. He ended up a sales executive in Manhattan right toward the end. My dad worked there. My mother became a secretary. She had been an actress in, doing the leads in high school, and had a scholarship to the University of Indiana and I think one other university. And her stepfather said, no, girls don't go to college. Wouldn't let her go off to college. 00:03:43 MICHAEL SCROGGINS (CONTINUED) So she ended up then becoming a secretary at a radio station. And then out in L.A. worked in aerospace as an executive secretary. So. [technical] 00:04:12 ADAM HYMAN Okay. So what, before college what schools did you go to? Michael Scroggins Oral History Transcript/Los Angeles Filmforum Page 5 of 200 00:04:21 MICHAEL SCROGGINS When I first-- When we were living in the South Bay, I went to a school called Center Street School, which I don't remember at all. I think that was in El Segundo. Then they built a new school called Imperial Street School. I remember going there. What I do remember, and we'll come back to this I think, but some of my earliest art experiences were around that time. Somewhere between kindergarten and the 2nd grade. I'm thinking it was 1st or 2nd grade. 00:04:46 ADAM HYMAN So, you go ahead and do that. 00:04:47 MICHAEL SCROGGINS So that's where I went to grade school. And then we moved out to the San Fernando Valley. My father said, don't you want a grassy lawn instead of these sand dunes. And I was like, “Yeah! That'd be fun! I can play in the grass!” Not realizing I was going to have to mow the grass and that was the whole other story. We moved out then to Van Nuys which was this sort of 50's suburbs. And so for the-- I did the 3rd through 6th grade at Cohasset Street School, then went on to junior and high school. We can come back to those I guess, but I'll just mention them now, just to get it out of the way. I went to Cohasset Street School, which it turns out my wife also attended, but many years later, 'cause she was born in 1969.

I am a composer, performer and improviser of accordion, harmonica, voice and dance from the Czech Republic. My work pursues two lines of enquiry: my compositional practice focuses on sonification (compositions based on abstract models derived from physical objects), while my improvisational practice explores characteristics of discrete spaces through the interaction between sound and movement. Recently, I have become particularly interested in the question of social relationships in music and their implications for the structural organization of musical pieces. I explore this theme in all aspects of my work.

    Tinder-ing Desire: The Circuit of Culture, Gamified Dating and Creating Desirable Selves Tanya F. Oishi A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: LeiLani Nishime, Chair Ralina Joseph Carmen Gonzalez Program Authorized to Offer Degree Communication 2 ©Copyright 2019 Tanya F. Oishi 3 University of Washington Abstract Tinder-ing Desire: Tanya F. Oishi Chair of the Supervisory Committee: LeiLani Nishime Communication This dissertation starts at intersection of race, gender, and technology, all of which will be discussed in depth throughout this project, and the fluid state of being constituted and being undone by one another. It is in this state of vulnerability that relationships are initiated, through technology that these relationships are shaped and facilitated, and within the constraints of social expectations that these interactions are able/allowed to occur (Duck, 2011). As life becomes more mediated and interactions more facilitated through technological means, focusing on relationships facilitated through dating apps is illustrative of the ways in which mobile technologies are changing the way we communicate with one another. The introduction provides the theoretical overview of the literature off of which the rest of the dissertation builds its arguments: the importance of interpersonal connections, the positionality of Asian men in the U.S., and the mutual shaping of society and technology, as well 4 as a justification for a mixed methodological approach to these areas of inquiry. The second chapter looks at the subreddit r/Tinder Profile Review Week thread to see how individuals seek feedback on creating a desirable self and describes how these impression management strategies of Asian men differ from the group which is comprised predominantly by white men.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 22, 2016
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 22, 2016 NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AMERICAN JEWISH HISTORY EXCLUSIVE EAST COAST VENUE FOR BILL GRAHAM AND THE ROCK AND ROLL REVOLUTION The National Museum of American Jewish History (NMAJH) in Philadelphia will be the exclusive East Coast venue for Bill Graham and the Rock and Roll Revolution. The exhibition, which opens on September 16 and will run through January 16, 2017, presents the first comprehensive retrospective about the life and career of legendary rock impresario Bill Graham (1931–1991). Recognized as one of the most influential concert promoters in history, Graham played a pivotal role in the careers of iconic artists including the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Fleetwood Mac, the Who, Led Zeppelin, the Doors, and the Rolling Stones. He conceived of rock & roll as a powerful force for supporting humanitarian causes and was instrumental in the production of milestone benefit concerts such as Live Aid (1985)—which took place in Philadelphia and London—and Human Rights Now! (1988). The Museum will be open late on Wednesday nights (until 8 pm) throughout the run of the show.* Bill Graham lived the America Dream, and helped to promote and popularize a truly American phenomenon: Rock & Roll. The exhibition illuminates how his childhood experiences as a Jewish emigrant from Nazi Germany fueled his drive and ingenuity as a cultural innovator and advocate for social justice. Born in Berlin, Graham immigrated to New York at the age of ten as part of a Red Cross effort to help Jewish children fleeing the Nazis. He went to live with a foster family in the Bronx and spent his teenage years in New York City before being drafted to fight in the Korean War.

So with that introduction, we are pleased to announce that as of this issue, the gazette formerly known as AllAboutJazz-New York will now be called The New York City Jazz Record. It is a change that comes on the heels of our separation New York@Night last summer from the AllAboutJazz.com website. To emphasize that split, we felt 4 it was time to come out, as it were, with our own unique identity. So in that sense, a name is very important.
