I was looking for a pair of warm dress pants. Visiting my parents in Minnesota, I had forgotten entirely about the possibility of extreme cold and the idea of going out that night in tights and a skirt seemed preposterous. Luckily, I found a like-new pair of black jeans with just a little sparkle on the pocket for a good price. I was wandering around the store with these jeans in my hand—just in case I saw something else that I might need—while I waited for the line at the check- RXWFRXQWHUWRJHWDOLWWOHVKRUWHU0D\EH,FRXOGÀQGD silver jacket, I thought, that would look nice on a cold winter night. A woman and man had parked their pick-up outside and come into the store. The woman marched in a determined fashion to a rack in the middle of the store. She was a heavyset woman and it looked as if she had located this rack on a previous visit. She approached with a grim determination. She and the man she was with were standing in front of the rack of dark colored clothing as I slipped by with my sparkly jeans in hand.

Printing courtesy of Razorcake Press, Razorcake.org he Gun Club is one of Los Angeles’s greatest bands. Lead singer, guitarist, and figurehead Jeffrey Lee Pierce fits in easily with Tthe genius songwriting of Arthur Lee (Love), Chris Hillman (Byrds), and John Doe and Exene (X). Unfortunately, neither he nor his band achieved the notoriety of his fellow luminary Angelinos. From 1979 to 1996, Jeffrey manned the Gun Club ship through thick and mostly thin. Understandably, the initial Fire of Love and Miami lineup of Ward Dotson (guitar), Rob Ritter (bass), Jeffrey Lee Pierce (vocals/ guitar) and Terry Graham (drums) remains the most beloved; setting the spooky, blues-punk template for future Gun Club releases. At the time of its release, Fire of Love was heralded by East Coast critics as one of the best albums of 1981.

  • Discouraging Racial Preferences in Adoptions
    Discouraging Racial Preferences in Adoptions Solangel Maldonado* More than 20,000 white Americans go abroad each year to adopt children from other countries, the majority of whom are not white. At the same time, there are more African American children available for adoption than there are African American families seeking to adopt them. While Americans claim there are few healthy infants available for adoption in the United States, hundreds of African American newborns each year are placed with white families in Canada and other countries. Tracing the history of transracial adoption in the United States, this Article argues that one reason why Americans go abroad to adopt is race. The racial hierarchy in the adoption market places white children at the top, African American children at the bottom, and children of other races in between, thereby rendering Asian or Latin American children more desirable to adoptive parents than African American children. Drawing on the rich literature on cognitive bias, this Article debunks the myths about domestic and international adoptions and shows that racial preferences, even if unconscious, play a role in many Americans’ decisions to adopt internationally. This Article proposes that the law discourage adoptions based on racial preferences by requiring that Americans seeking to adopt internationally, while there are available children in the United States who meet their non-race-based criteria, show non-race-based reasons for going abroad. * Associate Professor, Seton Hall University School of Law.

  • Bio Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore
    Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore Downey to Lubbock Biography written by: Joe Nick Patoski Downey, California to Lubbock, Texas is a thousand-mile straight shot across the heart of the American West, with not much in between. The cities at each end of the line are one-time cowtowns that grew into symmetrically-platted working-class communities with very little to interrupt the horizon plane, making for big empty canvasses that require a vivid imagination to fill in all that blank space. Dave Alvin from Downey and Jimmie Dale Gilmore from Lubbock have been filling canvasses with music of the American West for decades, coming from two very different directions. The title track explains Alvin is a Strat-packing, wild blues Blaster, a nod to the roots rock band he formed with his brother Phil in 1978 before Dave peeled off to go his own way in 1986. He’s been part of the bands X, the Knitters, and the Flesh Eaters, tours relentlessly with his own band, the Guilty Ones, and continues apace on musical quests informed by his love of California and its history, and by Texas and the South, where most of the great music that was made in Los Angeles before and after the Second World War came from. Gilmore is the old Flatlander from the Great High Plains, acknowledging his first group, the folk-country trio formed in Lubbock 1972 with Joe Ely and Butch Hancock who continue performing and recording today. In addition to the Flatlanders and an extended solo career, he has been part of several ensembles including the Hub City Movers and The Wronglers with Warren Hellman, who started the Hardly, Strictly Bluegrass Festival in San Francisco.

  • “The Greatest Gift Is the Realization That Life Does Not Consist Either In
    “The greatest gift is the realization that life does not consist either in wallowing in the past or peering anxiously into the future; and it is appalling to contemplate the great number of often painful steps by which ones arrives at a truth so old, so obvious, and so frequently expressed. It is good for one to appreciate that life is now. Whatever it offers, little or much, life is now –this day-this hour.” Charles Macomb Flandrau Ernest Hemingway drank here. Cuban revolutionaries Fidel Castro and Che Guevera drank here. A longhaired young hippie musician named Jimmy Buffett drank and performed here, too. From the 1930’s through today this rustic dive bar has seen more than its share of the famous and the infamous. It’s a little joint called Capt. Tony’s in Key West, Florida. Eighty-seven-year-old Anthony ‘Capt. Tony’ Tarracino has been the owner and proprietor of this boozy establishment since 1959. It seems Tony, as a young mobster, got himself into some serious trouble with ‘the family’ back in New Jersey and needed to lay low for a while. In those days, the mosquito invested ‘keys’ (or islands) on the southernmost end of Florida’s coastline was a fine place for wise guys on the lam to hide out. And this was well before the tee-shirt shops, restaurants, bars, art galleries, charming B&B’s and quaint hotels turned Key West into a serious year-round tourist destination. Sure, there were some ‘artsy’ types like Hemingway and Tennessee Williams living in Key West during the late 50’s when Tony bought the bar, but it was a seaside shanty town where muscular hard-working men in shrimp boats and cutters fished all day for a living.

  • Legendariska Los Lobos Åter Till Gävle Konserthus
    Los Lobos 2018-08-28 13:17 CEST Legendariska Los Lobos åter till Gävle Konserthus I april 2007 spelade Los Lobos för en euforisk publik i ett knökfullt Gävle Konserthus, för övrigt den enda konserten i Sverige. Den 1 september kommer Los Lobos tillbaka till Gävle för en ny konsert. Med sin sköna mix av rockabilly, latin, jazz och blues blandat med sitt mexikanska arv har Los Lobos mutat in sitt eget musikaliska område i över 40 år. Los Lobos bildades 1973 som Los Lobos Del Este Los Angeles och är hos den breda massan antagligen mest kända för filmmusiken till ”La Bamba”, historien om rock’n’roll-stjärnans Ritchie Valens korta liv. Men de är så mycket mer än så. De har sina rötter i mexikansk musik men blandar upp den med rockabilly, latin, jazz, soul och blues. Genom åren har de släppt ett tjugotal studioalbum och valdes 2015 in i Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Senaste plattan Gates of Gold celebrerar immigranternas Amerika och låtarna handlar om ögonblick ur bandmedlemmarnas liv och vilka erfarenheter och val livet bjuder. Hela tiden nyfikna och aktuella har de skannat av och speglat sin samtid. Med rötterna i stadsdelen East LA är Los Lobos självklara företrädare för ”Nuevo Latino” där de blandar det mesta av den mixade kulturen som Los Angeles är byggd kring till en musikalisk gryta av rock, blues, country, tex-mex, r&b, spansk och mexikansk folkmusik.
