this offering shaped me as a young chap <3

Record 2728. #MFSB #LoveIsTheMessage MFSB Love Is The Message (MFSB standing for Mother Father Sister Brother) is one of my all time favourite Philly disco soul tracks, ever since I went digging for the source sample after hearing EPMD's "It's Time To Party". I particularly love the extended version, but this the album version plus it's album track partners is pure Philadelphia Sigma Sound phenomenon. #philadelphiasoul #jazz #funk #disco #rythymandblues #epmd #vinyl #records #nowspinning #vinyljunkies #recordcollection #vinylcollection #vinyligclub https://www.instagram.com/p/Cngm4_xPAQo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Essential reading: Arthur Jafa’s ‘MAGNUMB’ is a new release this week from @louisianamuseum⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Though he has worked in film and music for decades, American video artist @anamibia only garnered acclaim in the art world in 2016 for his video work "Love is the Message, the Message is Death." Composed of found images and videos, his oeuvre revolves around Black American culture, the history of slavery, and ongoing structural and physical violence against Black Americans. As Jafa put it in his 2003 text “My Black Death”: “The central conundrum of black being (the double bind of our ontological existence) lies in the fact that common misery both defines and limits who we are. Such that our efforts to eliminate those forces which constrain also function to dissipate much which gives us our specificity, our uniqueness, our flavor by destroying the binds that define we will cease to be, but this is the good death (boa morte) to be embraced.”⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ This essential overview presents Jafa’s best-known works, such as "Love is the Message, the Message is Death" and its 2018 follow-up piece "The White Album," alongside never-before-seen projects and essays by notable scholars.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Edited by Lærke Rydal Jørgensen & @mathiasussingseeberg ⁠⁠ Foreword by Poul Erik Tøjner. Introduction by Mathias Ussing Seeberg. Text by Nahum Chandler, Jared Sexton & @nourbesephilip⁠⁠ Conversations with Arthur Jafa, @ jacobholdtofficial & Faith Icecold.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #arthurjafa #arthurjafamagnumb #magnumb #loveisthemessagethemessageisdeath #loveisthemessage #whitealbum⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/COxpOWpJBhq/?igshid=vzl5zwq5a3lb
