Nirvana in the 3rd edition of Axgrinder magazine, published in the winter of 1992. This seems to be a reused article from Guitar Player magazine that was published earlier that year, in February. Either way, it's an interview with L.A. Kanter done in San Francisco before their show at the Warfield Theater. Funnily enough, neither photo featured in the magazine are from Warfield.

Good news for all the capitalism haters in the notes! An empty office building in San Francisco got bought by a developer who then failed to develop it into housing. The sale just finalized a few days ago and the building now belongs to a public radio station and community arts organization. They are part of the movement to make San Francisco’s historical theater district into a new arts and culture district.

INTRO POST

Hi, my name is Jules or Marlow (they/he/she) and I am a somber melancholic creature. I like the concept of sexy time, male yearning and false intimacy and I occasionally make art that some people like. I am very funny when I feel like it, so expect me to be a little bit funny sometimes!

I also write, I’ll post small prompts sometimes if I really feel like it

I am psychotic (psychosis) so expect me to be a little delusional although I don’t actively post duh.

MY ACCOUNT IS NOT REALLY A SAFE SPACE

Things I like: 🌛

death note, demon slayer, chainsaw man, shoujo, sakamoto days, fear and hunger, devil may cry, resident evil, twilight (ironically), sherlock (bbc), theater/musical theater, plays, literature, and idk Im bad at this

Im convinced I am the less talented reincarnation of Van Gogh, I think his life was particularly interesting. I also think I’m the reincarnation of emperor Nero Germanicus.

: I’m also really particular about the characters I’m obsessed with. It’s terribly chronically online but idc tbh its tumblr for christ sake. Yaoi sickens my soul for some odd reason.

(my entire personality is also about listening to cool music (EBM, industrial rock/metal, indie, dark cabaret, post-punk, prog rock, psychedelic music) here’s a list)

the strokes/the voidz/julian casablancas in general

the real tuesday weld

she wants revenge/justin warfield/love x and terror

the teeth/purples

of montreal

turnerjoy

interpol/paul banks

the charlatans

KMFDM

nine inch nails

manic street preachers

black box recorder

half-way stiff

but yeah, hope you guys like the shit that I post!

Idles obliterated us at The Warfield!! OMFG!!!!! Hands down, one of the best performances this year. The crowd went absolutely nuts!! I stayed for the whole show, and I feel like I was hit by a freight train, and I wasn't even in the pit. It was a solid two hour set of twenty-four songs, and the sold-out crowd soaked up every ounce of sweat. 🔥🔥🔥💥

OF INTEREST <3

Aladja is a coastal town in Delta State, Nigeria. It is located on the bank of southern part of River Warri. The majority of the people are of Udu, a sub-group of Urhobo ethnic group. a section of the town was occupied by some people of Ijaw ethnic group who eventually migrated because of the bloody land disputes that existed between Urhobos and Ijaws in the 1990s. The Delta Steel Company (DSC), an integrated steel manufacturing industry is situated on hectares of land provided by both Ovwian and Aladja communities but the steel plant is currently redundant as a result of mismanagement. However, the federal government of Nigeria, is making concerted effort to privatize the plant. It was recently linked with a modern rail line from northern part of the country to ease the transport of raw materials (Iron ore) and finished products (steel) between the plant and other parts of the country. Aladja, as a coastal community, it has been a haven of commerce between the coastal people and hinterland since ancient times. The act of trade by barter is still being practiced in the popular Aladja Market to this day. Aladja has served for many decades as the route to old Warri mainland via its famous 'Aladja Waterside' until the construction of the Udu Bridge in 1975 as an alternative route to Warri and its environs.

Orestes Pursued by the Furies by John Singer Sargent

[lboogie1906]

William Caesar Warfield (January 22, 1920 – August 25, 2002), was a concert bass-baritone singer and actor. One of his earliest professional engagements was in Marc Blitzstein’s Broadway opera, Regina. His breakthrough came when he made his recital debut in New York’s Town Hall in 1950. He went on to produce a highly acclaimed album of selections from Porgy and Bess with Leontyne Price in 1963.

He was born in West Helena, Arkansas, the oldest of five sons of a Baptist minister. He grew up in Rochester, New York. In 1938, as a senior at Washington High School in Rochester, he won the Music Educators National Song Competition in St. Louis and expressed an interest in pursuing a career on the concert stage. Inducted into the Army in November 1942, a senior at the Eastman School of Music, presented his graduation recital before an overflow audience at Kilbourn Hall, Eastman Theater. He graduated in 1942 and served in the military, he returned to the Eastman School to complete a MA in 1946.

He gave his recital debut in New York’s Town Hall on March 19, 1950. He was quickly invited by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation to tour Australia and give 35 concerts. In 1952, He performed in Porgy and Bess during a tour of Europe sponsored by the US State Department (he made six separate tours for the Department of State, more than any other American solo artist.) In this production, he played opposite the opera star Leontyne Price, whom he soon married, but the demands of two separate careers left them little time together. They divorced in 1972 but were featured together in a 1963 studio recording of excerpts from Porgy and Bess. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence
