“My reclusive summer was interrupted that June when my housemate and I decided to see the Mars Volta up the street at the Greek Theater, touring in support of their sophomore album Frances the Mute. This massive stone outdoor amphitheater tucked in the Berkeley Hills was filled with the proverbial diaspora of brown/black rockers all in one spot. It was like the opening scene of The Warriors where all the boppers of New York gathered to hear Cyrus speak.”
A new essay by José Vadi on his fandom for the Mars Volta.

Wrote a poem about MJs big win in the 95-96 season: winning his fourth NBA Championship on Fathers Day, within weeks of his fathers murder. Link in bio for my poem "MJ 96" #ballislife #worldpoetryday #poetry @medium #jordan #jumpman
And we have ourselves a dunk-off.

my new essay “Getting To Suzy’s” for Catapult is now live.
A Woman Under the Influence by John Cassavetes changed the way I believed narrative cinema could be made. The film was fragile and temperamental and relentless, both formally and narratively. How should I read it? What is it saying? Where is the message? It felt not only unburdened by the typical weight of those questions but also as though it existed prior to them, an event like other events on this side of the fiction, not simply an exercise in manifestation. It operated by rules that felt very similar to the rules of engagement in life, more particularly of social orders collapsing as they inevitably do.
Rick Alverson (x)

A black church in Oakland faces a $3,529 fine for being too loud
A predominantly black church in Oakland, California, was warned it would be fined more than $3,500 this week. The crime? Hosting choir practices too loud for some of its neighbors’ liking. The church has been there for 65 years, so what changed? Gentrification.
