Are Lover Boys in Music Rated?

Recently, Saint Levant released his single "Very Few Friends" which now has millions of streams on Spotify and over 10 million views on TikTok. Like others, I instantly became obsessed with this man's music after he came up on my For You Page, for the variety of languages he could rap/sing in and his versatility in musical genres. However, I've seen many videos of women saying that Marwan is raising the standard for men and how boys of our generation are changing the level of respect they have towards women. And as far as I know Saint Levant seems like a really nice guy. But in no way does that mean that we as women have to claim that what Marwan Abdelhamid is doing is exceeding our expectations; if anything, he is doing the bare minimum. Furthermore, accepting ideas of being "spoiled" and "enjoyed" can be quite problematic. Marwan is suggesting that he can splash out on a woman and that his money is a tool to her happiness. I believe that Saint Levant wrote this with the intention of building his Lover Boy image, however, the lyricism hasn't had enough thought.

Nevertheless, what Saint Levant is doing is changing the music scene and we should appreciate his art as well as all his other attributes, not just his level of respect towards women and his charming attitude; as a young, trilingual Palestinian he is speaking out for his people and usually creates recurring ideas of freedom for Palestinians, suggested by the idea of '2048' and his past songs like "Haifa in a Tesla" or the "Jerusalem Freestyle" that evidently express themes of the apartheid in Jerusalem. His artistry could continue these themes in future songs as well as the Lover Boy trope he likes to pursue. Perhaps the Lover Boy image is also a marketing technique, to vary his listeners and appeal to women as well as men.

Marwan is not the only artist that does this however. In fact, Lover Boy music has been around for a while. I am an RnB girl and love the 2000s RnB Lover Boys, from Mario to Joe. Artists like Mario and Joe have always been praised for their attractive lyricism that describes respecting women and treating your woman right; this should be the bare minimum for all men, respect is the most basic attribute a man could have towards a woman. For example in Mario's "Let Me Love You" he proposes that women who aren't being treated right by their current partner could do better and be with him; to "Let me(Mario) love you".

I also believe Lover Boys make their songs quite sexual suggesting that a relationship is about sex and how a Lover Boy wants to physically enjoy his partner. For example "Every night, doin' you right" is a direct quote from 'Let Me Love You', where Mario expresses his sexual potential and abilities that he claims to be better than the current partner of the woman in this scenario. Joe also, like many other Lover Boy artists, create multiple sexual images within his art. I want to clarify that there is absolutely nothing wrong with sexual imagery in music, however, I think it paints an artist in a toxic light, if a relationship is solely based on sexual contact. What many male artists aren't doing is respecting all types of women- they aren't being inclusive enough- and they aren't praising the personality or attributes of a woman unless it is sexual. For example, Saint Levant sings "I want the neighbors to hear you yell /Told me she's a CEO, I can tell" where he is exalting a woman for her sexual abilities and not qualities she could have like intelligence or wit. However he does commend her being a business woman and boss bitch: "Self-made, now you're self-paid with your own plans". Although the Lover Boy is meant to fulfill the sexual fantasises of a woman, being in a relationship whether its serious or not should be built on respect for each other, not based on sexual desires; such a relationship is just infatuation.

Of course, Saint Levant, Joe and Mario aren't the only artists that make Lover Boy music. They also don't express violence and toxicity towards women, something that a lot of other male artists do. In fact, this piece is appreciating Saint Levant for his musicality and unique artistry; I have never seen other artists create pieces like his. Additionally Levant's amalgamation of his multi-lingual abilities, cultural pride and Western styles should be applauded. I love Saint Levant's passion for Palestine and how his music is representing a ethnic minority that are often misunderstood by the Western world. I just want this article to communicate my feelings of Lover Boy music and how respecting a woman is a modicum of the level of admiration you should have for the person you are in a relationship with. Finally, women shouldn't alter their standards for a man doing the bare minimum or expect any less than respect from their partner; you deserve the very best.

Therefore, do we rate Lover Boys? Or are they just doing what all men should be expected to do?

Tell me again how it's zionists and pro israels beings "harrased" by the the Palestine solidarity encampments.

Late nights and the trauma

Eating away at my soul

Feeling guilty that I’m not there,

Mama I wanna go home.”

WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEKEND June 28, 2019  -  YESTERDAY, ANNABELLE COMES HOME, MAIDEN

I’m going to do things a little different again this week, because while I normally would begin with the bigger movie of the weekend, I actually have a lot of stuff about ANNABELLE COMES HOME (New Line/WB) over at The Beat, as you can see below, so instead, I’m going to put a little more focus on Danny Boyle’s YESTERDAY (Universal), because... well, read on...

It’s not often a movie comes along that combines all of my favorite things into a completely unexpected movie that works, but Yesterday, written by Love, Actually’s Richard Curtis and directed by Danny Boyle, does just that. It takes a fairly high concept premise of a world without knowledge of the Beatles and their music and turns it into a hilarious comedy about fame and love and plenty of other things.  Maybe that’s to be expected when it comes from a writer who has helped define British comedy and one of my favorite directors, but that doesn’t always mean that it will always work.

We meet Himesh Patel’s Jack Malik as he’s doing his regular busking around Sussex at any gig his best friend and manager Ellie (Lily James) can get for him, but it’s not going well and Jack is ready to give up. One night, after coming back from one such bad gig, the lights go out across the globe for 12 seconds and in that 12 seconds, Jack’s bike is hit by a bus. He ends up in the hospital with two missing teeth but when he gets out he starts playing “Yesterday” on an acoustic guitar bought for him as a gift by Ellie, and realizes that none of his friends realize who the Beatles are. Jack immediately realizes that it’s up to him to preserve the songs so he tries to remember them and incorporates them into his shows, at which point he suddenly starts getting more attention.

The first thing about Yesterday that’s immediately apparent is the talent and charm of Himesh Patel who really carries the film and has you constantly rooting for him. I’ve long been a fan of Lily James, especially after her turn in Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver, but I feel like the role of Ellie allows her to be more of herself than some of her other ones.

There are quite a few other levels to the humor, the first one being when Ed Sheeran, played by the real Ed Sheeran, contacts Jack Malik about his music and becomes involved in his story. The next level is when Kate McKinnon enters the picture as Sheeran’s manager who wants to turn Jack into a money-making superstar ala Sheeran. Sheeran ably makes fun of himself and his own talent as a singer/songwriter, but McKinnon takes her character so far into the world of sleaze that she’s hysterical (especially to someone who has worked in the music biz and has seen this first-hand). It’s also good to mention Joel Fry as Jack’s bumbleheaded friend/roadie Rocky and Sanjeev Bhaskar and Meera Syal as his parents, all who bring even more laughs to the movie.

Probably the most interesting turn is when Ellie is ready to say bye to Jack as he heads off to L.A., and she suddenly realizes that she’s in love with him though those feelings aren’t reciprocated. As Jack tries to navigate the music business with his sleazy new manager, he realizes that he has to go to Liverpool if he wants to remember the last of the Beatles songs, and once there, he reconnects with Ellie as they try to sort out their feelings.

That’s all I’m going to say because the last act is so full of surprises that really helps bring the whole thing home. And then on top of all that, you have the music of the Beatles, which still gives me goosebumps as performed by the talented Patel. (Once I buy this soundtrack, it will be the second record this year I’ve bought of an actor performing classic pop/rock songs and selling them as well as the original artist(s).)

I don’t think you have to be a Beatles fan to appreciate what Curtis and Boyle done with this premise, and maybe it’s because I’ve been in Ellie’s shoes, falling in love with a friend who just sees me as a friend that I really connected with the romantic angle of the film, one that really pays off.

Yesterday is just wonderful, and it’s easily one of my favorite movies of the year.

Rating: 9/10

Interview with Writer Richard Curtis over at The Beat

Getting back to Annabelle Comes Home, I’m sure that New Line’s latest entry into the ConjuringVerse is going to prove popular, especially with Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson back as Larraine and Ed Warren. It’s screenwriter Gary Dauberman’s directorial debut and it stars the amazing McKenna Grace (Gifted) as the Warrens’ daughter Judy, as it shows what happens when the Annabelle doll is released in the artifact room, drawing a gaggle of malevolent spirits to the Warren home as Judy and her babysitter (and friends) fight them off and try to figure out how to stop them.

Interview with Writer/Director Gary Dauberman at The Beat.

LIMITED RELEASES

Another movie I’m really excited for people to finally see, one which I saw way back in January around when it premiered at Sundance is Alex Holmes’ doc MAIDEN (Sony Pictures Classics), which tells the amazing story about how Tracy Edwards put together an all-woman sailing team to race in the 1989 Whitbread Round the World Race despite all the odds against them. I loved this movie, not only because it’s an amazing story but also I’m a sailing enthusiast who sadly has not been able to get out and go sailing as much as I’ve hoped. But Edwards’ story and what she and hew crew 

Over a year since it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, Star Wars: The Force Awakens star Daisy Ridley stars as OPHELIA (IFC Films) in Claire McCarthy’s reimagining of Shakespeare’s Hamletwith Ophelia taking center stage as the lady-in-waiting to Queen Gertrude, played by Naomi Watts. George MacKay from Captain Fantastic plays Prince Hamlet, and the movie will open at the IFC Center as well as select theaters across the country.

Also opening at the IFC Center on Friday (and then in L.A. on July 12) is Jan Zabelle’s Three Peaks (Greenwich Entertainment), starring Alexander Fehling and Bérénice Bejo (The Artist). Fehling plays Aaron who wants to be a family with his girlfriend and her 8-year-old son in the Italian Dolomites, but has trouble gaining the boy’s acceptance.

Opening in select cities is Mitch Davis’ THE OTHER SIDE OF HEAVEN 2: FIRE OF FAITH (Artaffects), a sequel to the 2001 faith-based film which grossed $4.7 million.  Christopher Gorman returns as the missionary John H. Grober who returns to Tonga with his wife and five daughters, where they have a sixth child who is suffering an illness.

Opening at New York’s Film Forum is Lila Avilés’ The Chambermaid, set in a deluxe Mexico City hotel where chambermaid Eva spends her days making beds and dealing with needy clients, partially inspired by Sophie Calle’s The Hotel.

Opening at Film at Lincoln Center is James N. Kienitz Wilkins and Robin Schavoir’s experimental film The Plagiarists (KimStim) starring Lucy Kaminsky and Eamon Monaghan as a couple stranded by a snowstorm while visiting a friend in upstate New York and are put up for the night by a strange guy named Clip (Michael Payne from Parliament) only to discover that his hospitality was not what it seems. The filmmakers will be on hand for QnAs after the screenings Friday and Saturday night.

Opening at the Quad Friday is Eddie Mensore’s Mine 9 (EmphatiCinema/Levey Distribution)about nine coal miners in West Virginia trapped underground after a methane explosion.

Also opening at the Quad (and at the JCC Manhattan) is Avi Nesher’s Israeli film The Other Story (Strand Releasing) about two rebellious young women from Jerusalem who clash in unexpected ways.

From China comes Derek Tsang’s thriller Better Days (Well GO USA), opening Thursday in select cities, about a female student preparing for the important “gaokao” college entrance exam tests, who teams with a small-time criminal named Bei when she’s being bullied over a classmate who committed suicide. (NOTE: I just read that Better Days was pulled from Chinese release a few days ago, so I’m wondering if maybe it’s U.S. release will be delayed accordingly, as well.)

Alicia Vikander and Eva Green star in Swedish filmmaker Lisa Langseth’s English-language debut Euphoria (Freestyle Releasing) as two sisters travelling to a mystery destination in Europe. It also stars Charles Dance and Charlotte Rampling and opens in select cities.

Last, there’s Martin Owen’s Killers Anonymous (Grindstone Entertainment) about a support group for killers, which stars Gary Oldman, Jessica Alba and Suki Waterhouse. This is probably a mostly VOD movie that might be released into a few theaters.s

LOCAL FESTIVALS

I had to omit this section last week due to time constraints, but this weekend begins one of my favorite annual New York film festivals, and that is the New York Asian Film Festival, mostly taking place at Film at Lincoln Center and then the SVA Theater.  This is the 18thannual festival, dubbed “Still Too Young to Die,” and I have to admit that over the past few years, I’ve been somewhat neglect in my attendance and coverage of the festival. I hope to change that as there are definitely some things I’m hoping to catch. You have to remember that many of the films that play this festival NEVER receive U.S. distribution so NYAFF is the only chance to see some of them.

This year’s festival opens with Bernard Rose’s Samurai Marathon, a period piece set in the 1850s with an all-star cast and a Philip Glass score. This year’s centerpiece is

Eguchi Kan’s The Fable, adapting the Manga about a Yakuza hit man trying to lead a “normal life.” For a third year in a row, NYAFF has a competition for the Uncaged Award for Best Feature Film with seven films from different Asian countries in competition, many having their North American premieres:  Moon Sung-ho’s 5 Million Dollar Life, Kim Yoon-seok’s Another Child, Huang Chao-liang’s Han Dan, Nojiri Katsumi’s Lying to Mom, Kenneth Lim Dagatan’s Ma, Yi Ok-seop’s Maggie and Wu Nan’s Push and Shove.

Legendary martial arts choreographer and director Yuen Woo-ping will be receiving the Star Asia Lifetime Achievement Award, and they should be showing some of his best work at this year’s festival including Donnie Yen’s Iron Monkey, The Miracle Fighters and more.

This year’s festival will run until July 14, although the Closing Night film has yet to be announced.

STREAMING AND CABLE

Streaming on Netflix starting Friday is Paul Thomas Anderson’s musical short Anima, starring and scored by Radiohead’s Thom Yorke. 

REPERTORY

Before we get to the individual theaters, be aware that Spike Lee’s all-time classic Do the Right Thing will be receiving a 30th anniversary rerelease both in a new 4k digital restoration and in some cases, on an archival 35mm print. Check your local theaters to see if it’s playing near you, and if you haven’t seen it yet after 30 years, then you have no excuse not to go see it this week.

METROGRAPH (NYC):

When it comes to music docs, Les Blank is one of the pioneers and thankfully, Les Blank Films (along with Argot Pictures) is issuing two restorations of the ‘70s films he was involved with including Chulas Fronteras  (1976) and Del Mero Corazon  (1979) that look into the amazing music crossing the border between Mexico and Texas. Chulas, translated as “Beautiful Borders,” is a fascinating hour-long film that uses the music as a backdrop to show the everyday lives of those who live on the boarder. Del Mero (“Straight from the Heart”), co-directed with Maureen Gosling (who will be on hand Friday and Saturday night), Guillermo Hernandez & Chris Strachwitz is a shorter film mostly about the romantic songs from Mexico. Honestly, as someone who frequently has to listen to Mexican “mariachi” music on the subway while I’m trying to relax and listen to my own music, I wasn’t sure whether and if I’d connect with either film and while Chulas is definitely a stronger overall film, they both offer some great insights into the Tex-Mex music and musicians that have paved the way for others.

The Metrograph joins other New York arthouse in closing off Pride Month with Films of Pride and Protest: Stonewall at 50 with two series of films by various filmmakers documenting the groundbreaking rallies and protests that have helped the LGBTQ movement get to where it is today.

This week’s Late Nites at Metrograph  screening is the Safdie Brothers’ Heaven Knows What  (2015) while the Playtime: Family Matinees  offering is Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid (1921) in 35mm!

THE NEW BEVERLY (L.A.):

This week’s Weds. matinee is Alfred Hitchcock’s Topaz from 1969 – I guess the new Bev is still going through the movies of the late ‘60s, a running theme the last couple weeks. Weds and Thursday’s double feature is Krakatoa, East of Java and The Boston Strangler (from 1969 and 1968, continuing that theme); Friday and Saturday sees a double feature of Steve McQueen’s Bullitt (1968) and George Sheppard’s Pendulum (1969); and then the Sunday/Monday double feature is Liza Minnelli’s The Sterile Cuckoo (1969) with 3 in the Attic (1968; in 16mm, no less!). The weekend’s KIDDEE MATINEE is another Steve McQueen movie, The Reivers, also from 1969, and then the midnight movies are Tarantion’s Inglourious Basterds on Friday night and Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant(1969) on Saturday night. Chris Nolan’s Inception (not from 1968 or 1969!) will screen as a matinee on Monday and then next Wednesday’s matinee is the James Bond film From Russia With Love  (1963).

FILM FORUM (NYC):

On Friday, the Film Forum begins screening the Coen Brothers’ 1998 comedy classic The Big Lebowski for a week for no particular reason… but who needs a reason to catch up with Jeff Bridges’ The Dude and friends? It will also screen Elaine May’s classic bomb Ishtar, starring Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman, again for no particular reason. Maybe because it’s summer? This weekend’s Film Forum Jr. is the 1982 John Huston musical Annie, and then on Sunday, the Forum will screen Otto Preminger’s 1954 film  Carmen Jones, introduced by Donald Goble.

EGYPTIAN THEATRE (LA):

The series continues on Sunday with a double feature of Panelstory and The Very Late Afternoon of a Faun. I honestly don’t know much about the Czech New Wave (or actually, nothing) but it certainly seems to be back in style. Also Sunday is a Barbara Stanwyk double feature as part of The Style of Sin, showing Ladies of Leisure (1930) and Baby Face (1933).

AERO  (LA):

Thursday, there’s a screening of the new The Doors: The Final Cutwith director Oliver Stone and Val Kilmer in person, and it isn’t sold out, as of this writing!

The Quad continues to show its 2k restoration of Greta Schiller and Robert Rosenberg’s Before Stonewall (1984) through the weekend

ROXY CINEMA (NYC)

On Wednesday, the Roxy is screening Humphrey Bogart’s classic Casablanca on a 35mm print, then Thursday, it’s showing the 2002 dark comedy The Rules of Attraction. Getting into the Pride spirit, Saturday sees a 35mm screening of the 2000 lesbian comedy But I’m a Cheerleader, presented in conjunction with Flaming Classics, as well as a 35mm print of the 1969 doc Portrait of Jason about black, gay sex worker Jason Holliday, which will screen one time on Saturday and Sunday.

Waverly Midnights: Parental Guidance wraps up with Brian De Palma’s adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie (1976), Weekend Classics: LoveMom and Dad is Ingmar Bergman’s Autumn Sonata (1978) while the Late Night Favorites: Spring concludes with David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive (2001). The IFC Center will be one of the theaters showing Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing on an archival 35mm print, but only for the 7pm showtimes for the next week. Also in celebration of Stonewall (just a few blocks away), the IFC Center is premiering a 4k restoration of Frank Simon’s 1968 film The Queen (a Cannes selection), which looks at the 1967 Miss All-American Camp Beauty Pageant, organized by LGBTQ icon Flawless Sabrina with judges including Andy Warhol, Larry Rivers and Terry Southern.

Loyle Carner - Not Waving, But Drowning ALBUM REVIEW

Loyle Carner is easily one of my favorite rappers right now. When people talk about the best rappers in their 20s, I always have to mention him. His debut album, Yesterday’s Gone dropped in 2017. I didn’t review it when it dropped because I didn’t really have too much to say about it but I still loved it. I gave it album of the month and it really high on my 2017 end of the year list. There is no one in hip hop who sounds like him. The English rappers can really spit but gives listeners a glimpse into his personal life and feelings. He’s super talented and so are his friends. He has introduced me so plenty of dope artists like Tom Misch, Barney Artist and Rebel Kleff. After such an amazing debut, I wasn’t expecting an album this soon so I wondered about how he will make progression in his music since he has already given his fans so much of himself. I guess the main difference between Yesterday’s Gone and Not Waving, But Drowning are the moods that they give off. Yesterday’s Gone was a very moody album but Loyle seems to be happier on this album. He starts this album by telling his mother that he has found the one and has fallen in love. The next song, Angel has been stuck in my head ever since it came out. Tom Misch’s hook: “you’re my angelllll” sounds so good. They are always such a good combo. Ice Water (not to be confused with the Raekwon song) really got my head nodding. Loyle was really rapping on this one. The hooks are always on point. The next track, Ottolenghi told an interesting story about how Loyle was reading a cookbook called Jerusalem on a train and he had an encounter with someone who mistook it for a bible. It’s a beautiful song. The next song, You Don’t Know is one of my favorites. That beat is more jazzy like some of the songs on Yesterday’s Gone but it sounds more polished. Loyle’s verses are sick and Rebel Kleff has a killer verse as well. I don’t know much about Kiko Bun but I’m gonna check him out because his hook was perfect for that beat. Another one of my favorite songs was Desoleil with Sampha’s mesmerizing voice. He sounds great. As much as I love Loyle Carner, my biggest criticism of him was that he doesn’t switch up his flow enough. Then again, he says “ain’t nothing changed.” Anyway, his flow is more sped up over a pretty chill instrumental and it sounds really good. I’d like to see him explore different flows in the future. Something I’ve always appreciated about his music is that his internal rhyme patterns are really brilliant. It really stood out to me on his song No CD but his internal rhymes within each bar on the second verse of Desoleil are fantastic. He also incorporates a multi-syllabic rhyme scheme on top of that. Besides Sampha’s voice, Jorja Smith’s gorgeous voice graces the hook on Loose Ends. I didn’t get around to listen to it when it was released as a single but I think it sounds especially good in context of the album. I think the whole idea of Not Waving, But Drowning is really interesting because it is based off a poem of the same name that is shown on the 10th track. Since Loyle Carner writes to his mom on the first track, it’s only right that she writes him back on the last track. His mom appeared on the last album too on Sun Of Jean. On Dear Ben, she writes him a very heart-warming poem. You gotta listen to it. Even though this is just Loyle Carner’s second album, he has a distinct sound and style that no one has imitated and he seems to have started a discography that is very consistent so far. This album is incredible and Loyle Carner is one of a kind.

Fav Tracks: Angel, Ice Water, Ottolenghi, You Don’t Know, Desoleil (Brilliant Corners), Loose Ends, Sail Away Freestyle

Pitchfork 1998

Hét éve nyomjuk az éves visszatekintő listákat a Recnél, néha valamelyik magazin csinál random egy ilyent, most a fork találta fel.

https://pitchfork.com/news/announcing-pitchforks-50-best-albums-of-1998/?mbid=homepage-more-latest-and-video

Úgyhogy, nem jöhet más, mint megtippelni a kiszámítható magazin, kiszámítható top 10-ét, cél a 8/10 (továbbra is szokásosan nem helyezést, hanem top10-ben szereplést szeretnék eltalálni).

Itt meg az én listám (igen, minden évről van ilyen, tudom, tudom...). Alkalomadtán felül is vizsgálom ezeket, ez ennél majd nyilván valamikor ősszel lesz, amikor szoktuk csinálni a recorderes összeállítást, de az elejét nagyjából most is így szeretem (hülyén töri a szöveget, de mindegy).

We Audi After this Whip

Voice: This piece demonstrates a positive, motivated voice coming from the first person. The author is passionate about both the objects he writes about.

Language: The language in this piece is fairly informal but relatable. The writer knows his target audience and relates to them well

Structure: The structure of these pieces is the writer first describes his object and then elaborates on the significance

Reader: The reader here would be a person around the age of 20 that is approaching the age of deciding what he or she wants to pursue in life

Revision: The only Issue I would fix is I would like you to go into a little more detail on the significance of the game of chess. You do a very good job of describing how you got involved in the game, but now elaborate more about how it has helped you in life. 

       Chess has been a riveting experience since coming to Tel-Aviv. First off, it has honed in my decision-making. Making a move to satisfy a future objective proves most useful in everyday affairs. It wouldn’t be too simple to say that chess merely helps you plan out your day, because it is capable of so much more; your mind begins to be able to think harder, and for longer periods. You have to make calculations in your head that are not as easy as they initially seem. For example, if there was a black pawn on b6, two pawns protecting it on a7 & c7, and the queen locked in on the same diagonal behind the a7 pawn along the d file. Conversely, white has a pawn on c5, a knight on a4, a queen defending his attacking pawn on d4, and a rook protecting the pawn 2 squares back. Would black win the exchange?

Indeed he would not. The taking of white’s pawn on c5 cuts down his protecting pieces from four to one, by moving one square, he has let his opponent’s massive formation do its job against their lead pawn, while black’s looks as if a lone soldier didn’t hear the screams of retreat. Don’t fool yourself with careless mistakes in logic, and protect your own.

The game is great for music purposes too. Being a rapper, the most vital part – in my opinion – of becoming a success in this industry is the ability to freestyle. Not in terms of the music being ‘free of style,’ but rather, it is an improvisation of lyrical accuracy that can spurt at moment’s notice. Any beat, any vibe, as many words and as much practice as you can get will help someone figure out their own personality, music theory, delivery techniques and voices. Not to mention pitch. The ability to do it without rehearsal or practice is the same way that Jay-Z became one of the most iconic figures in rap history, and is the same reason that Nikola Tesla could understand the faults of a system by simply looking at the parts and solving the defects in his mind.

I don’t use a colon to end the previous paragraph, because there is no word that could define what makes it possible. It is an opportunity that presents itself to all those who wish to deal with its troubles, and can handle its successes. It can be the difference in height (stretching spinal discs). One can literally convince themselves to be or not be sick from a cold, if they can will themselves to do so (blow your nose. Don’t sniff).  Remind yourself who your kings and queens are, and use your skills, your pieces, your abilities to overcome the obstacle. Some pieces may fall, but hopefully with enough precise maneuvering, only few will succumb to the intense defense presented by the opposition’s mess of a test.

Up to this point, I have only explained how chess has helped from a technical music standpoint, but it is very socially opportunistic as well. Few would respect the man less whom one is beaten by in chess. My best Israeli-made friend, soon-to-be-notorious IDF DJ Doktor Loko, absolutely loves the game. This man will ask me for a fifth after I have beaten him four straight times. He is ruthless. A spectacle it is to watch, and certainly beneficial for both of our pursuits. Being that I began practicing before him, my role as a teacher allows me to come up with new strategies to see how my pupil will react. I have learned so much of his character without having to have uttered a word. Eyes to the grindstone, he follows through with what he says he wants to do. Great at making people feel welcomed and valued. Sometimes the thought that will put my game away is at the tip of his mind, but it doesn’t quite mutter itself into existence. He is close to a break through.

Three of my five roommates have also picked up chess much more. After our workout today (my first experience with rings), Ben and I played a game on our balcony above the fashion mall. Madeline came over just two get two games in – went 1-1 – and peaced out. My roommate and best friend Ryan plays blitz on the daily, and does puzzles when we don’t have Wi-Fi. Over a Shabbaton with a group I have been involved with through the semester, I bonded with a lone soldier from Florida. Adam is the best chess player I have personally played against. He knows how to plan very well. We saw each other by chance at Sacher Park in Jerusalem, threw around the pigskin with some of his homes for a good forty five minutes, freestyled to some beats with another lone soldier about to start his tenure at Maryland, and later that night beat Adam for the first time, and only.

There is much more to be said of chess, but the magic is in the game, not my words. If you start seeing moves and pieces when you close your eyes, play another game. And don’t rush to have the perfect plan in place. Make moves that seem like the most beneficial choice in the moment amongst present alternatives, and soon see the progress you will have made.
