With the overturning of Roe by a radical right-wing SCOTUS, I’m sure many of you are bummed out, pissed off, and wondering what to do. I don’t have any immediate answers but, what I do have to offer is this brief distraction from the 80s, a rebroadcast of the documentary “The Minneapolis Sound”. It originally aired in 1988. Give it a watch.  “The documentary has a lot of special gems in the one hour journey. Jimmy Jam gives us a tour of Flyte Tyme Studios and effectively juggles a Grammy. There’s an awkward interview with Hüsker Dü where you could feel something was off, only to learn they broke up soon after the taping. We learn The Replacements reason for declining an interview. It’s also filled with commentary from Emily Goldberg on her reason for providing the voice-over on the film, which I found fascinating. There’s an important distinction and discussion that host Toussaint Morrison asks about racial divide. Bianca Rhodes provides important feedback and commentary on the “Purple Family” that opens a larger window into that group.” (Source)

Denise Matthews, a.k.a. Vanity, on the cover of Jet magazine in 1988.

Vanity was an R&B star and actress in the 80's and 90's, and a former protégé of Prince. She is best remembered for her hit "Nasty Girl" as a member of her eponymous girl group Vanity 6, as well as her solo hits, including "Mechanical Emotion" and "Under the Influence". She was also the star of the 80's films "The Last Dragon" and "Action Jackson", both quite successful at the box office.

Born in Canada to a Jewish mother of Polish and German descent, and a father of African American descent, she later converted to Christianity. She famously dropped the stage name Vanity, and renounced her career in entertainment to dedicate her time to preaching.

Despite this, her fans never forgot her, and her work in entertainment has reached younger generations, with millions watching her R&B clips on YouTube. Some in the Jewish community will always remember her as one of our greatest rock stars of the 80's.

Matthews sadly passed away in 2016 at the age of 57.

Prize Horse — Under Sound (New Morality Zine)

Photo by Adam Udenberg

Prize Horse have the dramatic down on Under Sound, their debut album. Living largely in the mid-tempo until prodded, each song more or less evokes the bracing dread of turning your eyes to a darkening sky. Jake Beitel’s guitar churns and sheers, his vocals wistful and reverberant, with the hint of a keen. He’s met with the stomp and shimmer of Jon Brenner’s heavy, cymbal-happy drumming, all of it underpinned by the stream of Olivia Johnson’s subtle but substantive bass. The band’s performance is honed and adept, the sound intense. There are moments, especially early in the album when the playing can seem almost lackluster for the chops, like the Minneapolis trio has another gear that isn’t being touched. The whine of feedback that ends both the title track and “Your Time,” for example, hints at a greater possible rupture, a more chaotic roil that gets cut off.

Track five, “Leave It,” pushes things further, if not quite to the point of collapse. It’s a welcome demonstration of the band’s ability to pull a big complex sound from simple materials. Here, clean guitar chords and a simmering rhythm section give way to the reeling feedback. With just over a minute left, Beitel’s sustained notes start to wail, before Brenner’s cymbal battering and Johnson’s booming notes build the crescendo they’d previously only hinted at. Something similar and even more chaotic happens in the boiling over of the next two songs. “Reload” and “Rev.” Both end hard-charging and weighing a ton — “Reload” also starts that way — with Beitel’s shriller, looser riffs threatening to keel over against the ocean waves of Brenner and Johnson’s playing.

But it’s on track eight, “Stone,” that Under Sound truly erupts. Over, but just barely, Brenner’s furious drums, Beitel’s vocals find a new buoyancy, a comfortable place to writhe and, finally, to howl. Once the powerful urgency of the drums bind your attention and the vocals find their ceiling-raising space, then so too does Johnson’s bass, emerging from and then returning to the frenzy without missing a literal beat.

The louder Under Sound gets and the more the band embraces their intensity and abandon, the more clearly the playing comes through, and the more vital and engaging the album becomes. If the first half often leaves something to be desired, the second half fills that want, and then hints at more. The ninth and penultimate song, “Know Better,” doesn’t scrimp on instrumental force, but adds more melody, a higher brightness to Beitel’s voice. In his long, almost ambient chorus lines, and the music rushing under it, the band find yet another way to transcend a formula they’ve clearly mastered.

My 2023 Christmas charity single with J57 is here! Behold "Yule Intentions" featuring special celebrity guests!

As always, 100% of the money from this single will be split evenly between RAINN & Wigs For Kids

Lyrics:

Twas a week before Christmas, or two, maybe three, man I tell you at Christmas that time has no meaning An early Thanksgiving gives us an extention as sugarplum visions all dance for attention the mention of Christmas, retention of wishlists suspension your island of calm is an isthmus forgivenessness flourishes - yeah that's a positive even if holidays aren't your prerogative Some shut their eyes and just wait til it's over but they have the kindness to drive us home sober the warmth in their heart should be truly adored so give them gas money and Charcuterie boards the feeling's absorbed, it pleases the lord I heard he's in David's new Honda Accord Home for the holidays, truly we're blessed it's time for some special celebrity guests!

(Celebrity Christmas Cameo #1) (Celebrity Christmas Cameo #2)

Trying to gleam some serene in the solstice when it seems to cold and it screams halitosis it deems the prognosis is holiday stress the pressure for pleasing all those we love best the quest for perfection is riddled with danger remember the first one took place in a manger and here we are now some 2,000 years later with snowfall and bowls of Chex Mix to cater Decatur to Davenport, Denmark to Dover there's glossy on cards and a lot to gloss over it's tempting to rush and do it all at once but traditions you miss are still good in 12 months Alone at Home or Lost in New York or stoking a fire and popping a cork consort with the spirits that give you a reason and go make the most of your holiday season
