  • The Dynamics of Culture
    The Art of Being Human THE DYNAMICS OF CULTURE All cultures are dynamic and constantly changing as individuals navigate and negotiate the beliefs, values, ideas, ideals, norms, and meaning systems that make up the cultural environment in which they live. The dynamics between liberals and conservatives that constantly shape and re-shape American politics is just one example. Our realities are ultimately shaped not only in the realm of politics and policy-making, but in the most mundane moments of everyday life. Anthropologist Clifford Geertz famously noted, echoing Max Weber, that "Man is an animal suspended in webs of significance he himself has spun." These webs of significance create a vast network of associations that create the system that brings meaning to the most minute moments of our lives and dramatically shape the decisions we make. Due to these "webs of significance," even the simple decision of which coffee to drink can feel like a political decision or some deep representation of who we are as a person. 237 Michael Wesch In a recent BuzzFeed video, a woman sits down for a blind taste test of popular coffees from Dunkin' Donuts, Starbucks, McDonalds, and 7-11. As she sits, the young woman confidently announces her love for Dunkin Donuts coffee. "Dunkin' is my jam!" she says, declaring not only her love for the coffee but also expressing her carefree and expressive identity. But as she takes her first sip from the unmarked cup of Dunkin' Donuts coffee she nearly spits it out and screams, "This is the worst!" and then confidently proclaims that that cup had to be "7-11!" She eventually settles on the 4th cup from the left as the best.

    Actually, Gen X Did Sell Out, Invent All Things Millennial, and Cau... https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/14/style/gen-x-millenials.html Actually, Gen X Did Sell Out, Invent All Things Millennial, and Cause Everything Else That’s Great and Awful Gen X set the precedent for today’s social justice warriors and capitalist super- soldiers. Enjoy, and also, sorry! By Alex Williams May 14, 2019 What is an X? An empty set, a place-holder, a nothing that fills a void until an actual something comes along. For the members of Generation X, born between 1965 and 1980, that was never us. “They have few heroes, no anthems, no style to call their own,” wrote Time magazine in a 1990 cover story called “20-something” that marked our debut, as a class, on the national stage. “They crave entertainment, but their attention span is as short as one zap of a TV dial. They hate yuppies, hippies and druggies. They postpone marriage because they dread divorce. They sneer at Range Rovers, Rolexes and red suspenders.” Leave aside the fact that struggling 20-somethings of any era tend to sneer at luxury goods. At that point, the oldest members of Generation X were 25. No one really knew what we were. But someone apparently knew what we weren’t: dreamers, revolutionaries, world-changers, like the baby boomers before us. To the extent that we were defined, we were defined in the negative — the first generation in American history to be written off before it had a chance to begin.

  • Smith's Roman Candle
    A Head Full of Flames: Elliott Smith’s Roman Candle Melissa Brooks “You don’t know Elliott Smith? Damn! Give me your iPod,” my high school crush demanded one afternoon in my parents’ basement. I handed it over and he plugged it into the sleek Apple laptop he carried with him everywhere. He soon transferred Elliott’s entire discography to my device. Much like Elliott, he was a musical prodigy, possessing an ability to pick up most any instrument and best other musicians who’d been playing Elliott Smith for years. My musical naiveté would have appalled him if he didn’t enjoy educating me so Roman Candle much. 07/1994 “We’ll start from the beginning,” he said. “Roman Candle.” Cavity Search It was 2005, more than a decade after Roman Candle’s release. The album was and is unabashedly simple, recorded in then-girlfriend JJ Gonson’s basement. Most of the songs feature only Elliott accompanying his own soft vocals on acoustic guitar. Elliott’s biographer William Todd Schultz aptly portrays the album “as a guy jamming with himself” and “totally low-key and casual, almost ridiculously low-fi.”1 My crush and I laid on the floor, heads close but hands folded safely on our stomachs. Fevered, even anxious strumming reverberated against the concrete walls, soon followed by a voice more ethereal than any I’d ever heard. He could be cool and cruel to you and me Knew we’d put up with anything I want to hurt him I want to give him pain I’m a roman candle My head is full of flames.

  • Elliott Smith’S Songs in Good Will Hunting No Name #3’ Is the First We Hear, As Good Boys: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting
    loves... Elliott Smith’s songs in Good Will Hunting No Name #3’ is the first we hear, as Good boys: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting. Will and best friend Chuckie (Affleck) drive through the boozy Boston dawn. It’s minor- key but upbeat, like the film, and it washes in apologetically, unsure of its place in the world, like Will. “Everyone is gone, home to oblivion,” sighs Smith, a theme for him. When Will meets student Skylar (Minnie Driver), their first date is soundtracked by the gorgeous ‘Say Yes’. Beginning, “I’m in love with the world through the eyes of a girl…” it’s not quite the ode to joy it appears. Smith’s narrator, like Will, has been transformed, but he’s still “damaged bad at best” and at his partner’s mercy. Over an intimate bedroom scene, Smith’s torch song ‘Between The Bars’ promises a remedy from “people you’ve been before that you don’t want around anymore”, but is that remedy affection, or unconsciousness? As Skylar leaves for California it’s to the eerie rippling of ‘Angeles’, in which Smith compares the pursuit of love/success to a high-stakes poker game, primed to fail. “Go on and lose the gamble, that’s the Celebrating a man in tune with a movie… history of the trade,” he sings, resigned, echoing one of the film’s main motifs.
