The Nervebreakers' "Face Up to Reality"

[This time it's personal. My second most anticipated release of the millennium (after the Peter Laughner box) is here. I'm not going to review it, because I wrote the liner notes, which are reproduced in full below, including the part that wouldn't fit on the jacket. To say these guys are important to me would be an understatement. If my drummer from college hadn't seen them open for the Sex Pistols, I might not have moved from New York to Texas. Between 1978 and 1981, I saw them more times than any other band besides the Juke Jumpers. Mike Haskins remains my guitar hero, and Barry Kooda my human being hero. Bob Childress once surprised me with a message on the RadioShack corporate net after I'd written something about them online. My wife and I once made a pilgrimage to Austin to see Tex Edwards play a bar gig. And I'm proud to say that Carl Giesecke once played sleighbells on "I Wanna Be Your Dog" with Stoogeaphilia. But enough about me. I've got to go listen to this again.

]Think of this record as a follow-up that took a while to emerge.

It was 1980, 40 years ago as I write this, when the Nervebreakers -- who’d bossed the nascent Dallas punk scene from its inception, opened for every punk/”new wave” touring act that passed through Big D (Ramones, Sex Pistols, Clash, Police, Boomtown Rats), and made the pages of Rolling Stone via the image of guitarist Barry Kooda with a fish in his mouth onstage at the Pistols show – recorded their sole long player, We Want Everything!, which then took 14 years to make it onto vinyl.

The Nervebreakers coalesced in 1975 when Kooda, a junior college theater major back from Army service in Korea, managed to insinuate himself into the “arty rock band” Mr. Nervous Breakdown, formed by his high school best friend, guitarist Mike Haskins, with fellow record store employee Thom “Tex” Edwards. Haskins and Edwards bonded over their mutual appreciation for the Raspberries’ combination of tuneful songcraft and rock crunch. Drummer Carl Giesecke was a moonlighting symphony percussionist, while bassist Bob Childress, who’d joined after the Ramones show, held the distinction of having seen both the Stooges and the New York Dolls every night for a week at Richard’s in Atlanta while attending Georgia Tech.

Onstage, they had a formidable presence, honed over years of four-set gigs, with frontman Edwards draped rakishly over the mic stand, Kooda in his Army helmet and pistol belt, Haskins looking like Donnie Osmond’s axe-slinging twin, Childress bouncing around like the Uberfan who got to join his favorite band, and Giesecke pounding out a solid pulse. Their repertoire included covers as diverse as We Five’s “You Were On My Mind,” George Jones’ “The Race Is On,” and the Troggs’ “Strange Movies.” More to the point, they penned potent originals: “Hijack the Radio,” “Girls Girls Girls Girls Girls,” “My Girlfriend Is a Rock.” Haskins and Edwards were the main writers, with occasional contributions from Kooda, but drummer Giesecke claims credit for their best known song.

When the sessions for We Want Everything! were complete, Haskins and Childress left to form Bag O’ Wire, while the Nervebreakers recruited replacements for an East Coast tour, after which the band folded. Edwards and Kooda followed different musical directions, while Giesecke toured with Roky Erickson (whom the Nervebreakers had backed in 1979).

Fast forward to 2008, when the Nervebreakers reconvened in Haskins’ home studio to record some songs they’d never gotten around to documenting back when. The energy and excitement of the band in its heyday were still in ample supply, along with tunefulness, crunch, and sardonic wit. Highlights include the title track’s snaky rifferama, the leg-twitching rockabilly of “Just Yawn,” the splenetic snarl of “Don’t Wanna Be Used,” and the sprightly punk-country of “I Don’t Wanna Hold Your Hand.” Kooda penned the ennui anthem “Wake Me Up,” and co-wrote the dance-craze theme “They Were Doing the Pogo.” The closing triptych of “It’s Obvious,” “Breaking Down,” and “I’d Rather Die” provides a rousing conclusion to a rockin’ set of tunes that’s long overdue, but right on time.

Toni Cade Bambara

Toni Cade Bambara, scrittrice, accademica, documentarista e attivista, importante protagonista del Black Arts Movement degli anni Sessanta, ha apportato un enorme contribuito al femminismo nero.

La sua scrittura si muove attraverso la cultura afroamericana, incorporando il dialetto di strada, le tradizioni orali e tecniche riconducibili al jazz come modello strutturale ed estetico per le forme scritte. I suoi personaggi, luoghi e atmosfere sviluppano situazioni non lineari costruite come improvvisazioni su una melodia.

Nata Miltona Mirkin Cade a New York, il 25 marzo 1939, è cresciuta con suo fratello e sua madre Helen Henderson che, influenzata dal Black Harlem Renaissance, la incoraggiava a studiare, scrivere e approfondire la storia afroamericana.

Aveva sei anni quando ha cambiato il suo nome in Toni a cui, nel 1970, ha aggiunto l’appellativo Bambara, relativo al gruppo etnico dell’Africa Occidentale di cui la sua bisnonna faceva parte. 

Frequentando il Queens College, dove era una delle pochissime studenti nere, ha iniziato a utilizzare la scrittura come strumento per entrare in contatto con sé stessa e la propria identità. 

A spingerla a scrivere era stato il desiderio di dare spazio a quelle idee che non trovavano posto nello schema fisso del componimento inglese, cercando di rendere giustizia a un altro punto di vista.

All’università si è interessata di danza, lavorato a teatro e partecipato alla rivalutazione del canto popolare e del suo messaggio politico.

Si è laureata in arti teatrali e letteratura inglese nel 1959. Successivamente, è andata a studiare mimo a Parigi.

Ha conseguito un master in narrativa africana al City College nel 1964 dove ha iniziato a insegnare, l’anno successivo, al Theater of the Black Experience. Si era impegnata a rendere più inclusiva l’istituzione con l’aggiunta di un corso di nutrizione e cultura africana. Auspicava la creazione di un’accademia in cui si dedicasse maggior attenzione all’apprendimento di temi politici e sociali.

Ha fatto parte del programma SEEK – Search for Education, Elevation, Knowledge e contribuito enormemente al suo sviluppo.

È stata professoressa associata alla Rutgers University nel 1969.

La sua antologia The Black Woman del 1970, è stata la prima raccolta femminista di autrici nere.

È stata direttrice del programma della Colony Settlement House a Brooklyn, lavorato per i servizi sociali di New York e come direttrice ricreativa nel reparto psichiatrico del Metropolitan Hospital.

Negli anni Settanta è stata a Cuba per studiarne le organizzazioni politiche femminili. Ha messo in pratica queste esperienze quando si è trasferita con la figlia Karma Bene ad Atlanta, dove ha co-fondato il Southern Collective of African American Writers.

Ha insegnato in diverse università, è stata professoressa ospite di studi afroamericani alla Emory University e all’Università di Atlanta, dove ha anche insegnato alla School of Social Work.

È stata artista residente al Neighborhood Arts Center, allo Stephens College della Columbia e allo Spelman College di Atlanta.

Nel 1981, ha scritto l’introduzione di un’altra innovativa antologia femminista nera, This Bridge Called My Back.

Dal 1986, ha insegnato sceneggiatura cinematografica allo Scribe Video Center di Philadelphia e tenuto lezioni alla Biblioteca del Congresso e allo Smithsonian Institution. 

La sua prima raccolta di racconti è stata Gorilla, My Love, del 1972. Tra le storie incluse ci sono Blues Ain’t No Mockin Bird, Raymond’s Run e The Lesson, che compaiono in tutte le antologie di letteratura afroamericana e in alcuni testi scolastici.

Nel 1980 il suo romanzo The Salt Eaters ha vinto l’American Book Awards.

Per tutti gli anni Ottanta si è dedicata alla produzione cinematografica e televisiva. Ha scritto la sceneggiatura per The Bombing of Osage Avenue, film incentrato sull’assalto della polizia al quartier generale di Philadelphia del gruppo di liberazione nera MOVE il 13 maggio 1985. Ha contribuito anche alla serie di documentari American Experience con l’episodio “Midnight Ramble”: Oscar Micheauz and the Story of Race Movies e al documentario W.E.B. Du Bois: A Biography in Four Voices.

Si è spenta il 9 dicembre 1995 a Philadelphia a causa di un cancro al colon.

Il romanzo sulla scomparsa e l’omicidio di quaranta bambini neri ad Atlanta tra il 1979 e il 1981, Those bones Are Not My Child (originariamente intitolato If Blessing Come), è stato pubblicato postumo nel 1999 a cura di Toni Morrison, che lo considerava il suo capolavoro e che aveva già raccolto i suoi scritti in un volume dal titolo Deep Sightings & Rescue Missions: Ficrion: Essays & Conservations, pubblicato nel 1996.

IU menunjukkan dedikasinya yang tinggi dalam tur dunia 'HEREH' di AS dengan melakukan perjalanan 10 jam dari Atlanta hingga Washington D.C. dengan mobil setelah penerbangannya dibatalkan.

 IU, yang saat ini sedang dalam tur dunia 2024 'HEREH', menunjukkan dedikasi yang luar biasa kepada para penggemarnya setelah penerbangannya dari Atlanta ke Washington D.C. dibatalkan. Pemicu pembatalan penerbangan tersebut adalah gangguan pada layanan cloud Microsoft (MS) pada tanggal 19 Juli, yang menyebabkan kekacauan besar di banyak bandara AS.

IU, yang menyelesaikan konser di Atlanta pada tanggal 22 Juli, mendapati penerbangannya ke Washington D.C. dibatalkan. Tidak ingin mengecewakan penggemarnya, ia memutuskan untuk melakukan perjalanan darat sejauh kurang lebih 1.000 km atau sekitar 622 mil.

"Penerbangan saya dibatalkan. Jadi, untuk pertama kali dalam hidup, saya harus naik mobil. Kami berkendara selama 10 jam semalaman di jalan raya," ungkap IU kepada penonton dalam konser di Washington D.C. pada tanggal 22 Juli di 'Capital One Arena'.

Tempat tersebut tidak hanya menjadi rumah bagi tim NBA, Washington Wizards, tetapi juga menjadi tempat penampilan bintang dunia ternama. Konser ini menarik perhatian besar dari media AS dan penggemar sejak tiket pertama kali dijual.

Selama konser, IU membagikan pengalaman beratnya dengan berbicara dalam bahasa Inggris, "Itu sangat sulit, tetapi mendengar sorakan kalian saat pembukaan membuat semua itu terasa begitu berarti." Komentar ini mendapat sambutan meriah dari penonton.

Setelah konser, banyak penggemar yang mengungkapkan rasa terima kasih mereka melalui media sosial X (sebelumnya Twitter) dengan komentar-komentar seperti "Terima kasih atas kebaikanmu" dan "Itu adalah malam yang indah; malam ini, dia benar-benar seorang putri."

Tur dunia ini adalah tur pertama IU di AS setelah 16 tahun berkarier sejak debutnya pada usia 15 tahun pada tahun 2008. Sebagai seorang penyanyi-penulis lagu dan aktris dalam berbagai drama dan film, IU tetap menjadi salah satu artis paling dihormati di Korea.

Tur dunia 2024 'HEREH', yang sebelumnya diberi nama 'H.E.R', dimulai pada tanggal 2 Maret di KSPO Dome di Seoul, Korea Selatan, dengan empat konser selama dua akhir pekan, yang dihadiri oleh bintang tamu spesial seperti NewJeans dan Park Bo Gum.

Tur ini mendukung proyek terbaru IU, mini album keenamnya yang bertajuk "The Winning", yang dirilis pada akhir Februari tahun ini. Album tersebut menampilkan dua lagu andalan: 'Shopper' dan 'Holssi', dengan video musik 'Shopper' dinarasikan dan diproduksi oleh DPR Ian.

Setelah konser di Washington D.C., IU memiliki tiga lagi pemberhentian terakhir dalam tur AS-nya: satu pada tanggal 25 Juli di Rosemont, Illinois, satu pada tanggal 30 Juli di Oakland, California, dan konser terakhir pada tanggal 2 Agustus di Los Angeles.

Kisah perjalanan IU adalah bukti nyata dari komitmen dan dedikasi seorang seniman kepada para penggemarnya. Meskipun tantangan besar menghadang, semangat untuk memberikan yang terbaik kepada para penggemar tetap tak tergoyahkan.

“Everybody Do The Basquiat” … Now on exhibit at The Houston Museum of African American Culture @houstonmaac This piece is a tribute to Jean Michel Basquiat and an examination of how we as creatives pay homage to those who came before us. In preparing for this piece I had the pleasure of working with my 3 year old niece as I tapped into my inner child in order to create like Basquiat. It was quite humbling as well as emotionally and spiritually challenging. Studying the life of Basquiat and the many challenges he faced as a young black artist stirred up a lot internal questions and frustrations. It is my hope that this piece inspires and encourages others to continuously push the envelope and create work that creates resolution and critical thought as opposed to the perpetual exploitation of our greats. #theartofshawnartis #everybodyDotheBasquiat #basquiat #artis #hmaac #auction #artcollector #houstonart #houstonartist #atlanta #nyc #miami #la #contemporaryart #abstractart #clones #radium23 #covid19 (at Houston Museum of African American Culture) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRJ2U3lhd5H/?utm_medium=tumblr

Everything seems a little dark and scary at the moment, so I have complied a list of links to cultural and/or educational things (and some just streams of cute animals, or just plain fun) that are available to watch or listen to or do for free (mostly) online. Some of these will only work for the duration of the current situation (marked with a *), but most are permanent (so far as I know) so can be kept around for a little bit of sunshine on a rainy day.

Feel free to add to this with your own links or ideas, and remember, we’ll get through this together (with the appropriate social distancing). Follow the advice that’s been given, wash your hands, and be kind to one another. 

The majority of links were brought to my attention by @theyahwehdance, @elleflies, and @buckysleftarm (plus a bit of a deep dive through my drafts). Under a cut because hoo boy it got long... 

(Some links in the linked lists may be broken, some may be region-locked, and some may be duplicated, I haven’t checked them all.)

Culture and Education!

The Metropolitan Opera, free nightly (19:30 EDT, 23:00 GMT) broadcasts of operas, available for 20 hours following the broadcast too. (Schedule for the first week)*
