22,23,30

22: A song that moves you forward?

Where the Wild Things Are by Luke Combs.

23: A song you think everybody should listen to?

Literally anything by Slim Dusty. He's horribly underrated outside of Australia. When someone says "best country singer" he's the first to come to mind. Camooweal is a heartbreaker.

30: A song that reminds you of yourself?

Pardon the edge... Saint Bernard by Lincoln. The whole "dog motif" (dingo motif?) thing has followed me by whole life and I don't reckon I'll ever be free of it at this point, and I don't reckon I want to be.

Also Heaven Sent by Peter Millsap fucks me up hard as an MLM whose religious conservative family took years to learn to accept that this is just the way I am, and even still often reduces any of my prospective relationships with other men to the butt of a joke.

The Tragic Case of April Millsap: A Tale of Loss and Justice

The story of April Millsap is a heart-wrenching reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of community vigilance. April, a vibrant and beloved 14-year-old girl from Armada, Michigan, was taken from her family and friends in a brutal and senseless act of violence that shook the small town to its core. Her case serves as a poignant example of how a community can come together in the face of tragedy and the importance of justice in the aftermath of such devastating loss.

Who Was April Millsap?

April Dawn Millsap was a bright, outgoing teenager who loved animals and enjoyed spending time with her friends and family. Known for her kind heart and cheerful personality, April was a student at Armada Middle School, where she was well-liked by both her peers and teachers. Her future was full of promise, with dreams and aspirations that were tragically cut short.

The Day She Went Missing

On July 24, 2014, April set out for a walk with her dog, Penny, along the Macomb Orchard Trail, a popular and scenic path in Armada. What was meant to be a leisurely evening walk turned into a nightmare when April failed to return home. Her family, worried and frantic, reported her missing, prompting a search that would lead to a grim discovery.

The Discovery

Later that evening, searchers found April's body in a drainage ditch off the trail. She had been brutally beaten and strangled, a shocking and horrifying end to a young life filled with potential. The community was devastated, and a sense of urgency gripped everyone as they sought answers and justice for April.

The Investigation and Arrest

The investigation into April's murder was intense and exhaustive. Law enforcement agencies, including the Michigan State Police and the FBI, were involved in the hunt for her killer. Tips and leads poured in, and the community rallied together, offering support and assistance to the investigators.

In a breakthrough moment, police arrested James VanCallis, a 32-year-old man with a criminal record, in connection with April's murder. Evidence against VanCallis included eyewitness testimonies, surveillance footage, and crucial forensic evidence that linked him to the crime scene. In February 2016, he was found guilty of first-degree murder, kidnapping, and assault with intent to commit sexual penetration. He was subsequently sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Community Response

The small town of Armada, once known for its peaceful and tight-knit community, was forever changed by April's tragic death. However, the tragedy also brought the community closer together. Vigils, fundraisers, and memorials were held in April's honor, ensuring that her memory would live on and serve as a beacon of hope and resilience.

The April Millsap Memorial Garden, located near the trail where she was last seen, stands as a poignant tribute to her life. It serves as a place of reflection and remembrance for those who knew and loved April and for the wider community that came together in the face of such senseless violence.

The Importance of Awareness and Safety

April Millsap's case underscores the importance of community awareness and safety, particularly for young people. Her tragic death serves as a reminder of the need for vigilance and the crucial role that communities play in protecting their most vulnerable members. Programs promoting safety awareness, self-defense, and community watch initiatives have gained renewed importance in the wake of April's murder.

Conclusion

The story of April Millsap is one of heartbreak and loss, but it is also a story of justice and community resilience. While nothing can ever bring April back or fully heal the wounds left by her untimely death, the efforts to remember her and seek justice for her murder reflect the enduring strength and spirit of those who loved her.

April Millsap's memory continues to inspire efforts to create safer communities and to ensure that her light, extinguished far too soon, continues to shine brightly in the hearts of those she touched.

Dr. Megan Hines to speak in Natchez

Dr. Megan Hines to speak at March 28 meeting of Natchez Historical Society 

She will give preview of fall exhibit by Natchez native Noah Saterstrom at Mississippi Museum of Art

NATCHEZ, Miss. – Dr. Megan Hines, a postdoctoral fellow of art history at the Mississippi Museum of Art and Millsaps College, will be the guest speaker at the March 28 meeting of the Natchez Historical Society. Her presentation is titled, “What Became of Dr. Smith: Painting A Hidden Mississippi History.” The meeting will be held at the Historic Natchez Foundation, 108 S. Commerce St., with a social starting at 5:30 p.m. and the presentation at 6:00. It is free and open to the public. Hines will provide a preview of the solo exhibition of the same name by Natchez native Noah Saterstrom in October 2023 at the Mississippi Museum of Art. Hines is the curator of the show. Dr. Smith is Saterstrom’s great-grandfather. In her NHS lecture, Hines will speak about who Dr. Smith was and the mystery surrounding his disappearance from family history. Saterstrom’s painting, which is mural-sized, is 120 by 6 feet, and consists of 160 panels, some of which are set in Natchez, according to Alan Wolf, a director of NHS and its program chair. “Having found Dr. Smith in the historical record, Noah in this work traces Dr. Smith through his life, times, and places in the State,” Wolf said. “This is a painting that, intriguingly and revealingly, depicts aspects of Mississippi history through a pictorial biography of a single and singular person.” According to Hines, the painting “envisions the life of Saterstrom’s great-grandfather, an itinerant optometrist whose mental illness and subsequent disappearance resulted in his erasure from the family history.” During several years of research, Saterstrom found that Dr. Smith was institutionalized for the final 40 years of his life in the Mississippi State Insane Hospital (the Old Asylum) in Jackson, Miss., and later at nearby Whitfield, from 1925-65. Hines said that Saterstrom work on Dr. Smith has grown in popularity. In fact, over the past three years, Saterstrom sold more than 1,300 paintings related to his history and family. This has resulted in a large following on social media, including an international audience. Hines holds a doctorate in art history, which she earned at Stony Brook University. According to her biography, her dissertation, “Art and Biotech: Bay Area Networks, 1965-85,” focused on changing visualizations of life and identity in the age of biotechnology. Hines’ work as a curatorial assistant has included such exhibitions as “Mark Bradford: Tomorrow Is Another Day” at the American Pavilion at the 2017 Venice Biennale, and “Postwar—Art Between the Pacific and the Atlantic, 1945-65,” shown at the Haus der Kunst in Munich in 2016. Hines is published in Media-N: Journal of the New Media Caucus. She has another article that is forthcoming in American Art. According to Wolf, Hine’s visit to Natchez will be her second. “She is enthused to come here and offer us an advance look at the show,” he said. “How fitting for Natchez that it should be so!” For more information, visit natchezhistoricalsociety.org or send email to info@natchezhistoricalsociety.org

Music: Best of 2023

This year I've been particularly active about trying to find new artists and then exploring their catalogs, and according to Spotify I've hit Like on over 1,000 songs (and purchased over 650, because frankly fuck Spotify). So, around the beginning of December, I thought it would be fun to try and pull together a Best of 2023 playlist, and three weeks later here we are!

These are not by any measures songs that were released in 2023, just songs that I, personally, happened to hear for the first time this year (well, including December 22, so that the playlist spans a full 12 months).

I also gave myself the restriction that I could only use one song by any single artist, which was easily the hardest part of making the list (although I would absolutely have run into different, equally hard choices otherwise). And then, because this is a fundamentally self-indulgent exercise, I dumped a bunch of second tracks by my favorite new artists, and a few other difficult last-minute cuts, into a "B-Side" playlist that's still half the length of the main one.

Anyway, here they are -- hopefully you'll discover something new, too!

(I'll make a second post later with the full playlist text including links to Bandcamp pages where applicable.)

[librarycard]

would love your country music recs!! been trying to get into the genre but haven’t really listened to a whole bunch and would love some suggestions <33

YAY thnk u for reaching out. um most of these artists i havent trawled their entire discog but each has some things i really really love. many of them explore serious topics such as addiction, discrimination (racism, homophobia, sexism, classism, etc), and more (like a lot of less commercialized and more traditional country music does).

its important to note that there is a lot of crossover in country, soul, blues, americana, and folk, so some artists might be more leaning to one of the other genres but their relation to the country style compels me to include them.

i will also say that afaik these are mostly modern artists because nothing makes me fucking angrier than people saying that new country music isnt good. please pull yourself out of the country billboard top 100 for the love of god.

ok here it is: > yola (one of my faves, lots of crossover with soul in her style) > brandi carlile, maren morris, natalie hemby, and amanda shires are all good individually and are part of a collective called the highwomen (theyve collaborated with yola several times!) > robert finley (i could cry with how much i love his work, sharecropper's son 2021 is just fucking. perfect) > john fullbright > rhiannon giddens > gillian welch > shakey graves > charley crockett (his work all feels so fresh and unique to me, i never get sick of it) > courtney marie andrews > brown bird (one half of this duo has passed on so they havent made any new music since then, but i still suggest checking them out) > mary gauthier (drag queens in limousines is a total classic) > the war and treaty > sturgill simpson > allison russell > paul cauthen (he's collabed with orville peck, who im sure a lot of people here know! if not i rec him too ofc) > emily nenni > john r miller > lucette (shes had work produced by sturgill simpson iirc) > the secret sisters (very dear to me) > katie pruitt > shovels & rope (<3) > parker millsap > margo price ( i love her i love her i love her i love her what can i say. thats how rumors get started 2020 changed my life) > kaia kater > robert ellis (less familiar w him but i like what ive heard) > jaime wyatt > arlo mckinley (another artist i havent checked out extensively but ive heard good songs from him and like his voice) > the chicks (forever and ever <333333333) > amythyst kiah > mercy bell > justin townes earle (who has unfortunately passed away in recent years, i think 2020) > waylon payne > the devil makes three > evil > jason isbell and the 400 unit

i also dont want you to think i dont want people to listen to classics, i do. i love classic country music — if you havent checked them out, id especially recommend john denver, charley pride, dolly parton, willie nelson, hank williams, johnny cash, the carter family, glen campbell, kitty wells, robert johnson (hes blues, but hes mississipean blues and has influenced country music through and through), patsy cline, judy collins, waylon jennings, and marty robbins.

this isnt comprehensive but its what comes to mind right now. i hope it was helpful!!! <3

Dionysia - a fanmix for devil worship :o)

I kept making and rearranging playlists for the clowns and the downside is i’m still trying to get the one titled “purple people eaters” in a good spot but the upside is I like this one. It’s based around my headcanons on what Clown Culture on alternia is like and also it’s very twangy. Song list under the cut!

You got me drunk on whiskey, drunk on wine The Lord don't like it, but the devil don't mind And there ain't nobody gonna love me like the devil do

Oh, Messiah - Timber Timbre

Well, they can take our bones And bury them deep under the river But we'll still be together And we cannot be defeated

Gravedigger’s Chant - Zeal & Ardor

Watch yourself Lord don't have mercy for you

Blood In The River - Zeal & Ardor

The riverbed will run red with the blood of the saints and the blood of the holy (A good lord is a dead one)

And he had a vision Of a fire, it burned up all of the land You could call it superstition You could run just as fast as you can

[awholelottayeehaw]

🎶✨️when u get this u have to put 5 songs u actually listen to, publish. then, send this ask to 10 of your favourite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)🎶✨️

I gasped when I got this! My first ask!! Hi!! I love you!

I'm so sorry this took so long to respond to, but I have absolutely overthought which songs I wanted to share that have been on repeat for me lately.

1. Dead in the Water by Spelles

This song got me through some tough times recently. It captures that feeling of panic, isolation, rejection, and resentment of someone you love hurting you and reminds you to take back that power and be the person you need at that moment rather than relying on someone else to do that for you.

2. Heaven Sent by Parker Millsap

This song hits home for me being queer and from the deep south. Especially with some recent drama between myself and my family this past week. I love Parker's voice and the vulnerability he portrays in his songs and the vividness of his lyrics just paints such beautiful pictures and this song makes me cry every time. I get halfway through singing along before I start sobbing.

3. Priest by William Crighton

This kinda ties in with the first two songs' theme-wise about taking back power and finding freedom in doing the right thing even if it's hard to do or might result in your downfall. His voice is so emotional and powerful and you can feel his relief in the chorus over his choices in the song that makes a normally dark song light and happy and hopeful.

4. Raise Hell by Brandi Carlile

I wouldn't be a good gay if I didn't include the woman who got away from me because she was older and happened to get married when I was in college but whatever. This song is just so powerful as a long song and one of empowerment that I feel like a lot of straight singers just don't quite get in their music and this is a song I can see myself maybe have at my own wedding someday.

5. Like a Stone by Audioslave

The one song on the list that's a different genre but god Chris Cornell has a spot in my heart that will forever ache with his loss. His voice always cut through me in ways that most other singers just don't with how it captures emotion in the different octaves he's able to sing at. Just such extraordinary talent gone too soon and I listen to this song at least once a week and have since he died 5 years ago.
