• Leonard Cohen’s ‘I’m Your Man’ Album Turns 30: Artists Reflect on the ‘Dark,’ ‘Cheesy’ Masterpiece | Billboard
  2/2/2018 By Ron Hart It was 30 years ago this Groundhog’s Day (Feb. 2, 1988) that Leonard Cohen carved out the ultimate fork in his road to creative immortality. If you were coming of age in 1988 and were wired into MTV’s 120 Minutes or an influential, cutting edge rock radio station like WLIR/WDRE in […]
• 10 moments that defined Danny Tenaglia | DJ Times
  Danny Tenaglia’s name rightly sends shivers down the spine of anyone who has been front, centre and soaked in sweat during one of his club sets, stomping to attention while jostling for a glance into the booth to watch someone for whom mixing records seems to be as natural as breathing. Whether he’s on for […]

• Femme Magazine UCLA’s feminist newsmag since ’73 — Album Review: Vanessa Daou’s “Zipless” and the Decentering of Men
  Vanessa Daou, “Zipless” (1995, MCA Records/Krasnow Entertainment) By Randy James Feb 23, 2017 “The act of decentering men involves a stronger attachment to selfhood, found in relationship and solitude.” – Tabitha Prado-Richardson When I read Tabitha Prado-Richardson’s Coalition Zine essay on decentering men from one’s own narrative, Vanessa Daou’s seminal 1994 album “Zipless” immediately sprung […]

  An incredible and intense day of learning with Dr Mimi Savage as part of the 8 week curriculum at UCLA Arts & Healing. Honored to be part of this incredible and important program. As some of you know, I’ve been long fascinated by the field of Art Therapy and the uses of the Expressive Arts […]
• aRUDE — The Argument is Made: A New Radical Economy — Iké Udé’s Nollywood Portraits
  Every exchange is in some way and unprincipled negotiation. The success or failure of any negotiation is measured as set up against how much one party gets compared to how much the other party does not get. While the details are variable, the one constant is the idea of ‘economy’, the currency of negotiation, by […]
• aRUDE — The Art of Experience — Vincent Williams, Honey’s Kettle, and the Curious History of Fried Chicken
  Authenticity is a tricky thing. Like love, like art, it has no real definition other than *you know it when you feel it*. And while individual experience is subjective, a communal experience is something shared. When something is shared by many, it is no longer ‘an’ experience, it becomes ‘the’ experience *of*: it shifts from […]
• Props from NPR — Heavy Rotation: The 10 Songs Public Radio Can’t Stop Playing
  Deep, jazzy house is one of the more eclectic and evolving subsets of electronica, and Jaidene Veda continues to have the genre’s pulse. After receiving critical acclaim for her 2015 album Wanderlust, Veda has returned with Heart Of Gold, a release that sees her building on that momentum while expanding her sound and voice. This […]
• Beyond the Black Forest: In praise of Vanessa Daou | By Collin Kelley
  Link to original post here Paris. Summer 1995. A tiny hotel room in the 11th arrondissement near Place de la République. I have fallen madly in love with a blonde-haired boy, and we lounge on the bed as afternoon turns to evening. The tiny television is tuned to a music video channel, the sound at […]
• Vanessa Daou : Zipless (1994) — By Graham Reid
  By Graham Reid Elsewhere There is sexy music and there is sex music. And there can be quite a difference between the two in execution. Prince made a lot of sex music but slightly less sexy music; Donna Summer and Jane Birkin brought orgasms to music — and so did Yoko Ono who screamed it […]
