My Complete High School Transcript

This was for a new reality I created a bit ago that was sort of going to be "revenge", as I put it, before I finally permashift to my desired reality. But now that I'm not feral anymore, I thought it'd be best to not let the reality go completely to waste. A homage if you will. Context: I used to be a gifted child with "so much potential". Therefore, in honor of this deep-seated desire for academic validation here were going to be my unofficial overqualified high school years in a nutshell.

As @hrrtshape said it best, "I'll permashift when it stops feeling like a betrayal," but, in retrospect, shifting here would have felt more like living long enough to see myself become the villain.

facts . . .

– she has a strong gyeongsang-do dialect, which often ends up with the members thinking she’s angry or annoyed by something whenever she talks with her accent (it often happens when she’s drunk or tired, she tends to talk with the dialect then).

– she’s considered one of the most successful female soloists in kpop, seeing as every single one of her solo releases since her solo debut have been trending on and off korea.

– she did ballet at a young age, which helped her during her teenage years as she would teach it for the younger kids as a way to make money.

– haneul tends to ‘mom’ the members whenever she can. even johnny himself once said that she would prepare medicine, cook, do laundry and even tidy stuff after them. during the early days - even now, let’s be honest - she would prepare the younger ones’ lunch for school.

– jiwon became a hot topic after one solo performance at the water bomb festival, as people went crazy with her body proportions and confidence on stage. she was named the “waterbomb goddess” by netizens.

– she’s a brand ambassador for vivienne westwood and people went crazy when she was revealed as such. jiwon really fits the vibe of the brand and people can’t help but be in awe of her whenever she appears dressed in the brand’s clothes.

– she’s currently in a relationship and people love her boyfriend, they are public and their relationship was revealed at the annual dispatch couple reveal during the new year.

– as her mom was never really in the picture since she was really young and her dad left when she was only 17, haneul basically raised herself. she never really mentions her parents and no one really know anything about them. though, haneul’s really grateful for her grandparents who were there for her whenever they could.

– jiwon often mentions that she wishes her childhood was different, which is one of the main reasons why she tries to take the burden off the younger members whenever she can. so they can have a somewhat fun childhood, differently from her.

Intrepid - Juxtaposition

Death Metal from Tallinn, Estonia

Formed when the members were just 15 years old, Intrepid has been bringing extreme metal to the people of Tallinn, Estonia since 2016. After growing their reputation with very intense live performances, Intrepid had the privilege to embark on their first European tour in 2023, alongside death metal powerhouses Monstrosity and Origin. The band toured Europe once again in September 2024 with Nile and Hideous Divinity in support of their EP, “Slaying of Sanity/Murder of Mind”. While their sound mainly grasps influence from the swamps of Florida, there is no fear to experiment, surprise or defy expectations. Their stage presence is determined through a process together with the audience - whether Intrepid transmits a welcoming and positive or a cynical and cold aura, is entirely up to those witnessing them. The result is always intensity.

Favorite Seventeen Title Tracks [KR&JP]

10th anniversary congratulations~!! 💎✨🩷🩵

Seventeen has been one of most wonderful sparkles I need, to have more energy in going through life. There are lots of reason why I adore Seventeen a lot, one of them is their music. I really like a lot of their songs. I'd like to try making my favorite list of their songs. I divided my list into several parts, here is my 13 favorite title tracks from Seventeen singles and albums, Korean and Japan releases.

울고 싶지 않아 / Don't Wanna Cry

SEVENTEEN 4th Mini Album ‘Al1’ 2017-05-22

The very first MV of SVT I know and I watched. When I got interested into looking about SVT more (began from variety show and Going Seventeen), I'm curious about their music. I suddenly remembered that, sometime ago I watched SVT's MV which was an ad in YT. It was the only time I watched an ad of group's MV that I know nothing about, in full (I only heard their name but I wasn't into idols anymore at that time). It was so cool. That MV is 'Don't Wanna Cry'. Even when there's another title track that I really like, perhaps as much as 'DWC', 'DWC' still has the most special spot in me that I likely to mention it first when got asked which title tracks I like.

今 -明日 世界が終わって��- / Ima -Even if the world ends tomorrow-

SEVENTEEN Japan Best Album 'Always Yours' 2023-08-23

Ima~!! this is really good, it's addictive and heartwarming. My tension gets higher whenever they perform this. Even if the world ends tomorrow, let's have our last dance together~

舞い落ちる花びら / Fallin' Flower

SEVENTEEN Japan 2nd Single 「舞い落ちる花びら (Fallin' Flower)」 2020.04.01

Fallin' Flower performance is very beautiful ; ; I really like this song a lot, it's so captivating.

Home

SEVENTEEN 6th Mini Album ‘YOU MADE MY DAWN’ 2019-01-21

'Home' really, the song, choreography, everything is really good. It's so heartfelt. DWC, Ima, Fallin' Flower and Home are top 4 title tracks that catch my heart the most.

消費期限 / Shohikigen

SEVENTEEN Japan 4th Single 'Shohikigen' 2024-11-11

'Shohikigen' is so beautiful. My feelings for Seventeen, have no expiration date, they remain unchanged.

Rock with You

SEVENTEEN 9th Mini Album 'Attacca' 2021-10-22

My tension also gets higher when I watch their perform 'Rock with You', I really enjoy listening and watching this song performance.

F*ck My Life

SEVENTEEN 10th Mini Album ‘FML’ 2023-04-24

At first, I'm not sure about using the word 'fml' as title since it has negative vibe? but oh well, f*ck my life, I'll fight for my life~!

독 : Fear

SEVENTEEN 3rd Album 'An Ode' 2019-09-16

'Fear' is really cool and powerful. I kind of wish for Seventeen to have this kind of song again.

Left & Right

SEVENTEEN 7th Mini Album 'Heng:garae' 2020-06-22

'Left & Right' is very addictive~!! When I first listened to this song I was pleasantly surprised at how they can make a song this addictively fun. I really like watching their 'L&R' performance.

ひとりじゃない / Hitorijanai

SEVENTEEN Japan 3rd Single 「ひとりじゃない」 2021.04.21

'Hitorijanai' is very nice and heartwarming. We are not alone~

Happy Ending

SEVENTEEN Japan 1st Single 'Happy Ending' 2019.05.29

'Happy Ending' is very cool and sweet.

손오공 / Super

SEVENTEEN 10th Mini Album ‘FML’ 2023-04-24

One of iconic SVT's song, 'Super'~! Surprisingly (for me), I don't feel bored even after listen to this song often (when streaming for awards) even though it's not usually my type of music, I can feel my tension gets higher listening to this. Perhaps, because there are some emotional reasons. SVT's achievements always makes me ; ;

아주 NICE / VERY NICE

SEVENTEEN 'Love & Letter' repackage album 2016-07-04

The very iconic SVT's song, 'Aju Nice'~!! At first, this song isn't my type, but I think it's really nice that 'Aju Nice' is their encore song. It's very fun when this song keep being replayed~

Let's challenge eternity together 🩷🩵, Seventeen 💎✨

Innerhalb eines bereits gut erforschten Genres haben sich Perseus ihren eigenen Raum geschaffen, indem sie sich von der alten Metal-Schule von Bands wie Judas Priest, Manowar und Queensryche inspirieren ließen, ohne die Einflüsse von Avant-Gardisten wie Kamelot oder den italienischen Rhapsody Of Fire und Labyrinth zu verachten. Die italienische melodische Tradition des Belcanto und schöne Melodien werden mit kraftvollen Riffs gemischt. Die intimeren Momente der Songs werden durch akustische Gitarren und Keyboards hervorgehoben. Leidenschaft, Leid, Freude, Liebe, Verdammnis, Erlösung, etc. sind die vorherrschenden Themen, die in den Texten zum Ausdruck kommen. Nach zwei selbstproduzierten Demos, "Ashes to Ashes" und "Icarus Creed", unterzeichneten Perseus 2011 ihren ersten Vertrag mit Nadìr Music unter der Leitung von Tommy Talamanca, Trevor (beide Mitglieder von Sadist) und dem Labelmanager Federico Gasperi. Im Oktober 2013 nahm Perseus sein Debütalbum mit dem Titel "The Mystic Hands of Fate" (für Nadìr Music) auf, produziert von Tommy Talamanca, der auch die Keyboards für die Band einspielte. Das erste Album gab der Band die Möglichkeit, für Bands wie Vision Divine, Queensryche und Hollow Haze zu er��ffnen. Am 1. April 2016 veröffentlichte Perseus ihr zweites Album, "A Tale Whispered In The Night" (für Buil2Kill Records), das in Rom vorgestellt wurde, mit Fabio Lione als Gaststar, der bei dieser Gelegenheit zusammen mit der Band live auf der Bühne spielte. Im September 2016 ging Perseus zusammen mit DragonhammeR auf Tournee, um die schwedische Metal-Band Civil War bei ihrer Europatournee zu unterstützen. Im Februar 2018 ging Perseus auf eine 4-tägige Live-Show als Headliner durch Ungarn, die Tschechische Republik und Slowenien, wo sie vom Publikum begeistert aufgenommen wurden und sich auch in diesen Regionen eine neue Fangemeinde aufbauen konnten. Im Jahr 2024 unterschrieb die Band bei der englischen "Escape Music Ltd." und veröffentlichte ihr drittes Album "Into the silence".   Lesen Sie den ganzen Artikel

chikyunokikiは2010年結成、2013年にInimitableレーベルより1st Album「Layer」、2016年にTOWER RECORDS Eggsレーベルより2nd Album「BALL」をリリース。既にこれまで”RISING SUN ROCK FESTIVAL PROVO ステージ”や”しゃけ音楽会”といった野外フェスティバルへの出演や、日本各地でのライブツアーなど様々な現場での演奏を経験。そして現在は札幌のライブハウス”SOUND CRUE”を主な拠点とし、”the hatch”、”BENBE”、”showmore”、”浪漫革命”、”LAUSBUB”といった多才な面々との共演を重ね、コンスタントなライブ活動を展開している。

Inner Scienceはクラブ/ギャラリー/野外など様々な場所でライブを行いながら国内外のレーベルから作品をリリース。2022年にはフランスの”Cosmocities"からJoe GoddardとMap.acheのリミックスを搭載した12inch EP「Cosmo Tracks」、セルフレーベルから10枚目となるオリジナル・アルバム「Self Titled」、2023年にはアメリカの"Pearsoll Peak"からオリジナル・サウンドコラージュ作「Assembles 25-28」、ドイツのKompakt傘下レーベル・”PNN"からデジタル EP「Sun Tracks」、そして同じくセルフレーベルからアンビエント作"Ambient Yellow"を発表している。

それぞれの場所で活動を続けている両者が交わることになったきっかけは、chikyunokikiの1st Album「Layer」制作時におけるレーベルからInner Scienceへのリミックスオファーが始まりとなる。その後、札幌や東京でのライブ共演をはさみつつ、長らくそのリミックスを気に入っていたInner Scienceからの声がけにより2021年夏頃から本作の制作がスタート。

そこから2年の月日を重ねてついにリリースされることになる本作は、すべての楽曲の中心にヴォーカルが据えられつつ、その周囲で時に寄り添い包みこむように、時に前のめりに鼓舞するように楽器群や電子音が散りばめられ、それぞれの単独作でもリミックスでもプロデュース作でもない、まさしくコラボレーション作品として双方の個性が高純度で混ざりあう唯一無二のアルバムとなった。

また、この世界観を更に拡大/拡張するようなア��トワークは、chikyunokikiと同じく札幌を拠点に活動するアーティスト"tacbluemonkey”の手によって今作に向けて描き下ろされた作品となる。 – – – – – – – – – – ■ Track List  / トラックリスト 01 - Dive (4:28) 02 - Telephone (5:26) 03 - Time Lapse (4:08) 04 - Sonar (1:37) 05 - Chapter 3 (5:09) 06 - Rebirth (5:52) 07 - Underwater (2:39) 08 - Filtration (4:48) 09 - Answer (5:47) – – – – – – – – – – ■ Shop / ショップ Digital - Amazon Music　/　Apple　/　AWA　/　LINE MUSIC　/　OTOTOY　/　Spotify　/　TOWER RECORDS MUSIC　/　Youtube　/　レコチョク　/　 CD - Bandcamp　/　Disk union　/　We nod – – – – – – – – – – ■ chikyunokiki - Profile / チキュウノキキ - プロフィール

If I’ll be an old woman, you’ll be an old man Even when you say a bunch of smooth words, you’ll have a potbelly When I’m an old woman, will things really stay the same? I’m really worried because you like younger girls

¹ Saipan is a US territory that was a semi-popular option for vacationing during the ‘80’s, back when Moritaka Chisato wrote these lyrics (not so much now).

This is probably Moritaka’s most famous song and has been covered and recorded by Kikkawa You, anison singer Suzuki Konomi, and Tsubaki Factory. It has also been sung live by SPEED with Makihara Noriyuki, AKB48’s Okada Nana, C-ute’s Okai Chisato, former Morning Musume member Tsuji Nozomi, and Hello! Project as a whole.

Also, technically “obasan” is like auntie and can be read as either “old lady” or “middle-aged woman”, but Moritaka took heavy inspiration from the Beatles’ “When I’m Sixty-Four” for this song (right down to the “you’ll be older too”), so I opted for the older age interpretation.

DNP Rewatch: A Tour Of My Plants! (living and dead)

Date video was published: 06/22/2020 (X)

DNP Main Channel Rewatch: 416

Yes, plant tour time! I’m always excited to rewatch this video. A pretty long gap between the last video and this one...I’m sure that had nothing to do with Phil letting his hair grow out a bit after that self-haircut, right? 😂 They did celebrate Dan’s birthday earlier in the month, in lockdown, though this might be my favorite set of photos from any birthday.

0:00 - jumping right into it here. living flat lounge filming for the first time since 2018. also, camera man Dan!

0:11 - clip from I KILLED MY HOUSEPLANT back in 2016

0:16 - credit to Jenna again!

0:32 - love seeing Dan’s filming choices throughout this

0:41 - he released the new merch the same day as this video

0:46 - did not bother getting the vase out of the filming flat for this...so just going with a bucket 😂

0:47 - also fully just looking at Dan instead of the camera for this joke. and then the giggle 🥺

1:08 - I’m surprised Dan didn’t burst out laughing at some point. maybe he is more silently than he does on camera

1:22 - gotta zoom in in the editing so we can’t miss that Phil’s mind has gone...somewhere

1:46 - what even. pretty sure some of this video is Phil just trying to entertain Dan

1:55 - great annotations again

2:05 - his hair seems to have mostly recovered from the haircut incident

2:17 - he has no idea what kind of plant it is 😂

2:20 - I think someone gave that to him at VidCon London?

2:27 - of course Norman has to be included

2:32 - these are all ‘boys’ while a lot of the stand-alone plants are ‘ladies’ for some reason to Phil

2:42 - that one looks...mostly alive? haha

2:56 - I like these geometric terrariums that they had

3:07 - “it’s not dead” is a very low bar for liking a plant

3:14 - a very rare glimpse of the kitchen area in the living flat and at their alcohol collection

3:26 - so I got one of these plants after this video...it is impossible to kill, which is good for me. although this was before I found out they can burn your skin 😨 I’m now exceedingly careful to not touch mine

3:40 - he had posted an insta story of that earlier in the year

3:49 - golden pig! Dan really let it be in their main living space for quite a while considering he apparently doesn’t hates it

3:50 - the candle Phil got Dan for his birthday. you can see how much he had burned it by this point. also an Ohros candle, which is the small company Phil has collaborated with for most of his merch candles

4:02 - this one is a “we” problem, apparently 😂 Phil takes the credit for the good ones (like the flowering ZZ plant) but shares the blame for the dead ones

4:12 - still just in the main living area of the living flat, and already SO MANY plants

4:28 - the “boing” noise...and then again looking at Dan instead of the camera 😂

4:35 - easily distracted Phil

4:41 - finally heading downstairs...I wonder if some of these fake ones were part of the furnished flat and they just moved them around, which is why Phil has no idea about some of them

4:56 - that looks pretty fake, lol. maybe not from a distance

5:11 - I mean he’s not wrong

5:16 - you can hear Dan laugh very quietly at Phil’s goose noise there

5:22 - now I think they’re back upstairs in the bathroom there...peak lazy not changing the lightbulbs

5:28 - Dan immediately turning the camera back on Phil at that...and then “normal bathroom stuff” sure

5:37 - Phil really does not like that bathroom

5:45 - don’t often see this room that they used as an office (and green screen room) at the old flats

5:58 - maybe that kind of plant should go on my list. “doesn’t require that much water” is good for me

6:18 - now in the filming flat! those have been around a long time! also, those magnets still in quite the position there 👀

6:20 - what would be “not in a weird way” for that question?! 😳 I can picture Dan’s exact facial expression response to that though

6:34 - lies! he originally got a peace lily in 2014, but that’s the one that died in I KILLED MY HOUSEPLANT. he replaced it with an identical one after that in 2016, which is this one!

6:58 - the piranha plant plushies! they also had had those for quite a long time too. would love to know if those were a gift from one of them to the other for something

7:18 - there is a lot of Phil thigh in this video

7:22 - that one he did get in 2014. most of the plants from the first London flat seem to have ended up in the filming flat

7:39 - this one is a “guy” apparently, haha. again, every joke he stops looking at the camera 

7:47 - and back to the living flat. guessing he edited all these out of order from how they were filmed

7:50 - that is a beautiful plant. it definitely went with them to the forever home

8:02 - awww, Phil

8:18 - Dan zooming back over to Phil’s face to catch the giggle

8:34 - rare existential Phil

8:47 - very specific

8:49 - he had tweeted about dumping all the bugs in the same plant

9:04 - another “we” blame there

9:11 - Steve! 😊

9:28 - foot content. before the 2021 joint video renaissance this was thrilling, lol. bet Dan wanted to make it clear who was doing the filming for this

9:46 - still making him slightly nervous though

9:50 - he didn’t include any of the plants from the filming flat outside area, like the cherry blossom they had

9:58 - “some die, some live” great conclusion there. most of the ones he showed were alive at least!

One of my favorite Phil videos in the past few years! I love that he tells us absolutely nothing about the actual types of plants, but gives them all a personality and if they would be friends or not.

What I would give for Tour of My Plants 2 from the new house.

20th Anniversary Ayumi Hamasaki: SURROUND (2001.07.18)

Wait, what?

Many people in the Ayumi Hamasaki fan community of the early 00s will remember a number of rumors about upcoming albums, particularly in the summer of 2001, when Ayu hit her commercial peak, and the number of single releases made a new album seem imminent. Not only that, but the consistency and tone of track and album titles made it easy to create fake release-announcements.

In April 2001 Hamasaki Republic posted the rumor regarding Ayu's supposed fourth album, "based on a HK store listing.” The album was to be titled SURROUND, and set to be released on July 18, 2001. Wow, imagine an Ayu album released during the summertime! (For context, Ayu has only released TWO full-length, original studio albums in the summer, and the first wasn't until 2014's Colours, followed by her last one to date, M(A)DE IN JAPAN, on June 29, 2016.) Still, the song titles were inventive, presenting an accurate parody of her style. Here was the made-up track listing:

01. The Opening 02. makes happy 03. NEVER EVER 04. Survivor 05. breeze 06. evolution 07. Endless sorrow 08. NATURAL 09. Rouge 10. M 11. HANDS & WINGS 12. Drop...

One month later, this rumor was appended by a Japanese source to include three additional releases, including two maxi-singles titled "Survivor" and "NATURAL," as well as what would come to be ayu-ro-mix vol.2, for the preceding June. I am particularly fond of the made-up listing for Survivor, an amusing tribute to the titles that producers were stamping on remixes in the early 00s:

01. Survivor "Original mix" 02. Survivor "Acoustic Orchestra version" 03. Survivor "theory express remix" 04. M "funstyle mix" 05. Survivor "Mixtrue of Marmalade? Dub'S Remix" 06. Survivor "fashionable mix" 07. Survivor "fake compilation II" 08. Endless sorrow "SNIPER flow remix" 09. Survivor "Sample Madness remix" 10. Survivor "Original mix -Instrumental-"

Three months later, in August of 2001, with no "Survivor" or "NATURAL" (SUPER EUROBEAT presents ayu-ro mix 2 was almost a sure thing, but didn't end up getting released until September), another rumored album popped up titled Natural. You can see how the fake track listing evolved from the original fake:

01. Genesis 02. Dearest 03. Natural 04. NEVER EVER 05. evolution 06. blessed 07. M 08. LOOP 09. UNITE! 10. Shooting Star 11. the Tears 12. Endless sorrow 13. Drops...

Obviously, we didn't end up with any of these albums, though coincidentally, we did get a song called "Naturally" on what would end up being the real fourth album I am..., released January 1, 2002, nearly nine months after the rumors started. The craziest part (and most fun, if you were hungry for new Ayu releases) was that none of these seemed impossible in 2001, nor did it seem strange that she might release a full maxi-single and album on the same day: What a wild time to be an Ayu fan!

You can view all of these by scrolling through the News Updates for 2001 on the Internet Archives pages of Hamasaki Republic. There’s some other great stuff in there for those looking for a nostalgia trip, including updates about the DOME TOUR, rumors of her retiring (!), and her then-relationship with Tomoya Nagase.

[nametags]

But her emails...

I aim to be a woman of integrity. I’ve sat on the content I’m about to share for almost 6 years in part because it originally was a private conversation between me and a friend. A friend who happens to be a lead singer of a band, but a friend none the less. However the way people have been speaking about him and what’s been going on in the world lately, I couldn’t let this stay hidden anymore.

I’m tired of people claiming that because Patrick no longer uses social media (and hasn’t for damn near five years at this point) that somehow he doesn’t “care” or isn’t doing anything right now to help the Black Lives Matter movement. I’m also incredibly tired of people ignoring/belittling the fact that Pete Wentz is a biracial/black man in America. You really do not want the social media person in charge of Patrick’s account tweeting things out. It would be hollow and fake.

Below is both a transcript of the conversation I had with Patrick on 12/06/2014, a follow up message he sent to me 08/25/2015, and the accompanying screenshots. Unfortunately I do not have the tweet(s) that prompted me to contact him in the first place nor can I find screenshots of them to provide that context. An image of me and my younger brother Jacob when we met the band at Boys of Zummer will also be attached to demonstrate one of the people I was concerned about in my original email. 

The only redactions made were my personal email address and the name of a friend I referenced. Patrick deleted his email account at some point between late 2016 and early 2017. It’s only left in these screenshots as proof for those who knew the address before to see these were legitimate messages. I hope the content reveals not only where his heart lies not only then but where it is now. 

Allison White: So I caught the insanity way late, but it's a tricky spot to be in with what's going on. For most of my life, I didn't even identify with half of my race. I was raised with my mom's side of the family and it just didn't click for me. It really hasn't been until teen years and onward that I've opened my eyes to it all. And with that, I began to grow wary of authority in a way. Like I still believe that people go into law enforcement for the right reasons. The few times I have dealt with police officers personally I haven't been concerned, but I have noticed in the past few years that when I spot a police car on the road or an officer just out in public somewhere is if I look "white enough" or do I actually look like an adult who belongs in whatever space I am in. I know Trayvon Martin was murdered by a vigilante and not an actual officer of the law, but that was when I first started to fear for my little brothers. I knew both of them were the sort of young men that could get targeted and most likely justice would not be found for them. And then there comes this summer. With both the Mike Brown and Eric Garner cases coming back with no indictment, it makes it feel as if it's just open season for black people to be hunted by cops. Which is hurtful for the cops who are actually in it to protect and serve, and every citizen who now has to wonder if they are next. I hope that your cousin is doing alright. I hope that people aren't making his job harder right now. Just I know for me right now with all that's going on I am definitely on the side of the protesters.

Patrick Stump: Brief for now; I'm sorry in all that you didn't notice that I'm squarely on the side of the protestors too. That's a failure of my wording

PS: The problem is that I so poorly expressed myself, people thought I was balancing the empathy to be spread across the black community and cops. That's a mistake on my part. I'm angry.

I'm angry that Mike Brown's case didn't yield enough evidence to indict. But that case was a very complicated one...Brown had just (allegedly) committed a violent crime and information was murky. As sure as I was that Wilson straight up murdered the Brown, I understood the limitations of the american Justice system given how little evidence there was. That's the unfortunate reality of justice is that it needs to be just. It needs to be 100%. We can't go in with "I know in my heart." And so that case pissed me off, but I understood it. 

With Eric Garner however, this just feels so flagrant. By no accounts was he violent, wasn't he doing anything that could even be misconstrued as life-threatening enough to even imagine defending the usage of deadly force. He was cooperating and they choked him to death on camera. That's fucked up. I'm pissed. I tried to be polite and sit back and not say anything, but I'm pissed.

However, my reason for discussing the side of the police as well is that human beings are complicated. When we boil people down to simplistic stereotypes, when we create a narrative of "Us VS them," we lose sight of the humanity of it all. You can't reason with a "Them." You can only reason with a person and it works better when you remember they're people.

I don't believe in enemies. I'm not religious but I love the way Jesus preached "Love thy enemy." That's hugely influential to me. Hugely important. That's the empathy I mean.

The other night I was holding my son and I thought to myself about a black girl I used to date. And how, we could have had a kid together. Maybe a little boy. And how, that boy could (by no action of his own) be killed just for the color of his skin. Like, I've heard and read words like that before, but to actually connect with it (on as small a scale as that) was horrifying. Gutting. For a little moment I thought, all this joy and all this beauty and somewhere, someone's having a black baby boy, loving him and feeling all the same things I feel for my son. But I wondered if in between their tired diaper changes and their burpings, if they were saying a silent prayer "I hope you don't get killed by a cop." If they say it constantly because they know how possible it is. Or even if he lives to be a 100, what black man won't have an unjust run in with the law? Not to make it exclusively a male issue but seriously, how many black men are in prison right now in America? That's a disgusting thing. The young parent of a young black boy probably considers that and that's maybe the most depressing thing I've ever tried to understood. That's a horrifying thing. There really still is a racial divide in this country, and to not be black is to not say those little prayers. We live in a supposedly free country. What about the pursuit of happiness? Who's defending the right of that little black baby boy born somewhere in America to just be an adorable little baby without any pretense? And when that baby grows up, who's defending his right to walk down a residential sidewalk and not expect to get pulled over and frisked? Maybe worse? 

So I'm angry. Just plain angry. But I didn't want to offend anyone so I expressed my anger in the lightest way I could think of. 

I'm not sorry for having an opinion, I'm sorry I explained it so poorly that you didn't know what it was.

AW: All of this is hard, and there is so much anger. You shouldn't ever be sorry for your opinions, and I am pretty sure you yourself have told people only be sorry for how you express your opinions. I wasn't upset with you or what you said, I just felt compelled to share that for me there's a knee jerk reaction to the image/idea of police and why.  This whole situation has been tough and it's been inspiring watching people across this country let their anger show and demonstrate in the streets against it. It makes me wish I was brave enough to take part in it out in the streets and not just online. 

I hope this collective anger and protest leads to real change. That in 2014 we are able to do the things they were aiming for in 1964. I mean recently the full letter the FBI sent to MLK to urge him into suicide was released and it just highlights the divide between how much has and has not changed. There's a lot of value in what religion is supposed to teach. Love thy enemy, love thy neighbor. True love and care for those around you is a great thing and certainly something I'd hope people identified with. 

The past nearly seven years there has been this push for hope and change. Maybe the country is finally reaching a point to make it happen?

PS: I have a funny feeling this is civil rights part 2. I'm proud of the protests. I'm so grateful our generation is angry about something it should be angry about for a change.

AW: An argument can be made that our generation (or just post baby boomer generations in general) have been taught and fed nonsense to keep us compliant, but that veers into a territory that I am not completely sure or comfortable with. Overall I do think that this is heading a direction that the powers that be are not ready for in the slightest.

PS: Where did I go wrong? What do people think I said? They're so mad at me, and none of the people have said anything I didn't mean. I'm not getting angry right-wing stuff, people are just calling me a racist. What did I say that was racist? What do I think that's racist?

AW: There's a strong immediate reaction right now of if you sound slightly in favor of the officers that did wrong that you are racist. The swift reaction and need to dogpile on is kind of crazy. I think people took the initial comment to mean "not all cops!!!!" In the same vein as "not all men!!!" and that's where the rage is coming from. 

AW: Just to be clear, those who matter know you're not racist. You have shown both in your words and actions where your beliefs lie. I don't know how to calm the masses right now because at least for the time being its not going to get through :(

AW: You could try a blog entry on tumblr?

PS: Nah, I think I've done enough damage for one lifetime. I think I'll keep it to myself but I appreciate your talking it through with me. 

AW: No problem. I am always willing to be a sounding board for that stuff if you need it.

PS: I re-read my stuff; "I support our police," is the worst things said. I meant "I support the idea of police and the need for a police force we can trust on a national level," not "I support the police in NYC who are killing people and attacking protestors." That sucks.

AW: If you wanna try to clarify now you can. At least in your Google alert it only had one mention of he mess and it was a tumblr user supporting/defending you. 

PS: There's no fixing it. The Internet is unforgiving I think and the reality is, I said that. I didn't mean it in the way that it so obviously sounds, but I said that. So I deserve everything I get.

AW: It will most likely go easier if you let it ride out instead of trying to go out and fight it. That just gives the "he doth protest too much" air about it. Hopefully the energy behind letting you know you said something like that will dissipate sooner rather than later. And that it won't get big enough for someone to write a story about it. 

PS: Yeah. It'll sound like back-pedaling and glad-handing. Anyway, thanks for talking it through! 

AW: You're very welcome! Thank you for hearing out my side of it this morning.

PS:  I never would've ignored your side.

AW: Which is very much appreciated

AW: I say that because in the past two weeks I have lost a handful of friends because of all of what's going on and them being unable to understand how and why their words hurt me.

PS: Well that's awful and unfair

AW: It was but they were all from the "when I look at you I don't see black, I just see Ally" camp and then would go on to say things about stereotypes and "thugs"

PS: Yeah. Thug. "Oh that's so ghetto." Bullshit.

AW: When someone says "thug" it's always clear they wanna say the n word

PS: Or even if they're the kind of "Well meaning," person who knows enough not to say that word, they mean the same thing

PS: "Not like you. You're good"

PS: White America just needs to know what it doesn't know

PS: Or rather, understand that there are things they (we) will never understand. Not from a first person perspective.

AW: It always makes me want to scream. The erasure of identity so then the people known to them stay safe. It reminds me of something I witnessed the other day. My friend [REDACTED] from junior high is now an established lawyer. Needless to say he has been keeping up very much with the recent events. He made a post about it and one of his friends commented with "I wish you would go back to being my friend [REDACTED] and not my black friend [REDACTED]." Mind you there's no denying [REDACTED] is a black man. He can't pass in the slightest so the comment shocked and saddened me. Thankfully [REDACTED] handled it with poise and grace. 

PS: If you have to say you have a "black friend," then you probably don't. That's fucked. I guess I just genuinely didn't imagine how pervasive this stuff really is. Like, Pete and Joe and I have been talking a lot today. I was under the misapprehension that we grew up in a decently inclusive area. Just come to find out, nobody used those words around me. The whole time they were heckling kids like Joe and Pete. I thought racism was this thing that doesn't happen here. It's scary how much it's come out post Obama's election. Elected officials sending out mass e-mails of pictures of watermelons. I just didn't get it. Ignorance is bliss.

AW: It knows how to hide in plain sight, which is a lot of the problem. People are taught "don't be racist!!!!" Without being told exactly what racism is. People (myself included at times) aren't aware of words/phrases/ideas have nefarious ties until too late. 

PS: I think we get too caught up on words and not enough on what they imply. "Thug," means a prepackaged idea of a black male. It instantly limits his perceived intelligence, his perceived trustworthiness, his perceived value to society, and his perceived prospects in life. That's so fucked. We expect black men to go to prison. Not be doctors and lawyers. When a black man is a doctor or lawyer, we treat him like such a cool novelty. When a black woman asserts herself, she's so "Sassy." "You go girl." 

These little words and phrases feel harmless. They never were

AW: Those are the positives. Usually assertive black women are angry, mean. It's so fucked all around. 

AW: I really owe Pete for helping me be informed on Ferguson. He tweeted the hashtag the night the protests started in August and it helped me dive in. I am sure tumblr would have got me to it eventually, but seeing it from day one was a definite help. 

PS: You know part of my problem? I'm just not brave enough to say what I think. I'm just scared of offending people. Pete's not. He doesn't care. That's powerful

AW: It takes a lot to just put it out there. I am not sure if I had the amount of eyes on me that you do that I would be so "fuck you I will do/say what I want" as I am. Hell I become such a shadow of myself when at work with how quiet and polite I am. I mean I am still pierced and tatted with short hair so visually I say a lot, but then I watch my speech to make us for it. 

(Follow up on 8/25/2015)

Patrick Stump: That is amazing and I'm very flattered. By the way; Been thinking about our conversation from a year ago a lot. The takeaway is this: Saying "All lives matter," and "Not all cops," while literally true are contextually horrendous. Really awful. In retrospect I feel pretty awful about saying both. Specifically because "All lives matter," can carry a lot of implications. Who's lives? I meant by it that Latinos and Muslims are also unreasonably targeted/mistreated/murdered by cops. But is it as systematic or blatant as it is with darker skinned Americans? Not remotely. Furthermore, as a white man, I just need to remember how fucking easy I have it. It's easy for me to preach peace and unflinching patience when I've NEVER been a victim of the War On Drugs or the aftermath of straight up slavery. So there's a lot to think about in terms of what I, a white guy, have to say and do about the situation. But not a lot I have to say about the way it feels to be oppressed to the point of feeling like less than a citizen of this country. I shouldn't have spoken about it because I don't/can't know. Well-meaning white folks get to talk about policy changes and do everything we can to help, otherwise we should get the fuck out of the way. I'm sorry, really REALLY sorry to the world that I ever said either of those things. It's more than "Fuck the police." It's "Fuck this whole system." And as aware as I'd been, I hadn't realized how complacent in it I was. Anyway, disgusted I said what I said. Sorry to the whole world for being part of the problem

The “Swinging City Revolution”: Garner in the Land of the Rolling Stones

This post was written by Deanna Witkowski, pianist-composer, graduate student in Jazz Studies at the University of Pittsburgh, and author of Mary Lou Williams: Music for the Soul (Liturgical Press, August 2021).

In May and June of 1966, Erroll Garner played in London for several weeks with his longtime triomates, bassist Eddie Calhoun and drummer Kelly Martin. Leslie (Les) Perrin and Associates, publicity firm for the Rolling Stones and other big name pop acts, served as Garner’s publicist for his English tour dates. In many photos from 1966-1970, Perrin is seen with the Stones, Frank Sinatra, and Joni Mitchell. Mitchell’s website includes a feature page on Perrin with this article from a tabloid-looking paper entitled “Weekend— Feb. 25-Mar. 3, 1970.”

On June 12, after Garner had already been in England for over two weeks, Glaser typed a letter to Perrin, chastising him for not contacting her with any press coverage of Garner’s tour dates thus far—or, for that matter, with any news at all. Dispensing with formal niceties, Glaser begins her correspondence using all capital letters: “ABSOLUTELY NOTHING RECEIVED FROM YOU (EXCEPT BRIEF CABLE THIS WEEK) since tour began. Our disappointment beyond expression. We needed reviews for Variety ad. Blew the space reservation since you didn’t send reviews.”

Image from folder “Correspondence from Leslie Perrin (Associated LTD. UK Bookers),”  Erroll Garner Archive, 1942-2010, Box 1, Folder 119,  Archives & Special Collections, University of Pittsburgh Library System.

As in my earlier post on his 1959 date at Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo, Glaser’s letter shows the interdependence of multiple behind-the-scenes players in shaping Garner’s career. Glaser cannot move forward with future publicity needs until Perrin generates publicity for the current tour and communicates the results of that publicity with her.

Glaser pulls no punches in her critique of Perrin—and is compelled to fight these battles so that Garner can focus on his own labor: creating music. Two-thirds of the way through her letter, she writes, “I can only surmise that with the ‘swinging city revolution’ of London, as we keep reading, your office has become too busy to write us . . . Leslie—I don’t know how or why this tour is different—but your silence and the lack of any written word from [Jack] Higgins or Harold [Davison] leads me to conclude that your operations now have bigger-money projects, and that is that.”

The two other names that Glaser mentions, Jack Higgins and Harold Davison, are additional players in Garner’s British tour production and publicity. Both names appear on the final page of this program from June 11, 1966:

(Above) “Erroll Garner Souvenir Brochure London, November 6, 1966.” PicClick UK. Accessed April 5, 2021. https://picclick.co.uk/1966-Erroll-Garner-Souvenir-Brochure-London-11-06-1966-373506567730.html.

Davison is listed as being the concert presenter, with Higgins handling “promotion direction” and Dougie Tobutt handing “tour direction.”

Enclosed with her letter Glaser includes a marked-up copy of a document titled “Backgrounder to Erroll Garner,” a one-sheet apparently created by Perrin for local press reporters. Claiming to provide “a fact-a-phrase for journalists-in-a-hurry,” the document is a list of twelve bullet-point facts about Garner.

In response to two of the points, Glaser pens handwritten corrections:

Where the one-sheet reads: “ERROLL was a classmate of Dodo Marmarosa, brilliant contemporary of Charlie Parker at the advent of the bop era.”

Glaser responds:

“Garner had nothing to do with the “bop” scene—“ and “Why do you keep repeating Parker in the Garner bio?’” The truth is that Garner was indeed a childhood friend of bop pianist Marmarosa, who recorded with Parker on numerous occasions. Garner recorded with Parker as well, but was not a bop pianist, while Marmarosa was closely identified with that musical style.

 And where the sheet reads: 

“GARNER was also an early associate of Ellington’s colleague Billy Strayhorn.”

Glaser simply writes: “False info.”

In her letter, she goes into further detail on each point, writing, “I don’t know where this junk about being a contemporary etc of Parker in bog (sic) reveolution (sic) days keeps cropping up from . . .out of context, it is totally misleading.” And to the second point: “Garner and Strayhorn friends—never associates or associated, in any music situation.”

Perrin did respond to Glaser. Although his reply is undated, it likely followed soon after, as he references recent British concert dates and signs off promising “more tomorrow.” Most importantly, he sends ten quotes on Garner’s appearances from press including Melody Maker, the Evening News, and New Musical Express. He only includes this material, however, after making a snide comment: “My dear Martha, It is a warm afternoon, the shadows are creeping across the desk, and I am asking myself, “Do you think that Martha came to the Albert Hall after all? Because the concert was at the Royal Festival Hall?”

Image from folder “Correspondence from Leslie Perrin (Associated LTD. UK Bookers),”  Erroll Garner Archive, 1942-2010, Box 1, Folder 119,  Archives & Special Collections, University of Pittsburgh Library System.

Snide comment or not, Perrin produced the results that Glaser was asking for. This snapshot of two documents shows how sharp and direct she had to be in order to acquire the material she needed to continue her own work in moving Garner’s career forward.
