EP 611: THE AFTERMATH: FOUR YEARS AFTER GEORGE FLOYD ft. BERTRAND COOPER

May 25th, 2024 went by without much of a peep about the life of George Floyd. It was just 4 years prior that his public execution would ignite the American streets in fiery protests.  A clarion call for thousands to head out to express their outrage over, not only his killing, but for police misconduct et all.  It was bloated police budgets coupled with racist law enforcement that would be the culprit that needed to be either defunded, abolished, made more culturally aware, less racist, but what did we actually end up with?

 

The summer of 2020 saw millions of people taking action in the public square, in a demand for police accountability, defunding of police departments, and to call for reforms aimed at dismantling what was seen as systemic oppression faced by Black and marginalized communities. Why now, 4 years later after this period of protest has the conversation changed from law enforcement as the problem, to law enforcement is the solution?

 

Four years on, we take a critical look at where post COVID and George Floyd America stand. Have the promises of reform and justice been fulfilled, or have they fallen by the wayside? What tangible changes have been made, and what challenges remain?

EP. 609: HOMELESSNESS AND TOUGH ON CRIME LAWS ft. MATTHEW VERNON WHALAN

Read Matthew's work here: https://matthewvernonwhalan.substack.com/

Los Angeles and San Francisco have mayors that have broken through the glass ceiling, yet they both face almost insurmountable obstacles with their respective homeless populations. Will they revert to 90s style third way Democratic politics and view the unhoused population as one that must be mitigated through tough on crime policies? We discuss.

Ep. 606: TAKE THIS HAMMER: WORK, SONG, CRISIS ft. PAUL REKRET

Get Paul's book here: https://mitpress.mit.edu/9781913380168/take-this-hammer/

 

The emergence of the popular music industry in the early twentieth century not only drove a wedge between music production and consumption, it also underscored a wider separation of labor from leisure and of the workplace from the domestic sphere. These were changes characteristic of an industrial society where pleasure was to be sought outside of work, but these categories have grown increasingly porous today. As the working day extends into the home or becomes indistinguishable from leisure time, so the role and meaning of music in everyday life changes too. In arguing that the experience of popular music is partly conditioned by its segregation from work and its restriction to the time and space of leisure—the evening, the weekend, the dancehall—

Take This Hammer shows how changes to work as it grows increasingly precarious, part-time, and temporary in recent decades, are related to transformations in popular music. Connecting contemporary changes in work and the economy to tendencies in popular music, Take This Hammer shows how song-form has both reflected developments in contemporary capitalism while also intimating a horizon beyond it. From online streaming and the extension of the working day to gentrification, unemployment and the emergence of trap rap, from ecological crisis and field recording to automation and trends in dance music, by exploring the intersections of work and song in the current era, not only do we gain a new understanding of contemporary musical culture, we also see how music might gesture towards a horizon beyond the alienating experience of work in capitalism itself.
