Mira Nair, Mahmood Mamdani, and "Mississippi Masala" (book chapter excerpt)

In this except from his book, Amardeep Singh reads the two texts together www.electrostani.com/2025/06/mira...

Haha wow! You’re probably right. At any rate, I love that a theorist is with a romance filmmaker. Explains so much!

I totally agree. But people point out his dad a bit more than his mom. This film is such a deep look at cross racial intimacy

Was Berger post-it note break up guy?

How about graphic scores? Anthony Braxton

Teaching Tina Campt’s Image Matters today. What an exquisite book.

(To clarify, I was responding to the text of your post. Apologies for not reading all of your spreadsheet - a noble pursuit)

I did!

Maybe those are the ones that get circulated online and it distorts the fuller picture

My sense is that, in addition to genre, the series has moved away from showcasing relatively unknown artists to very well known, I think to its detriment

It is very difficult to write about the negative and negativity

I got one of these recently. Haven’t tried it yet but I’m excited

Julie Beth Napolin :: The AD Interview

aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/01/29/julie-beth-napolin-the-aquarium-drunkard-interview

Julie Beth Napolin delivers a singular debut, one that cuts new trail through the cosmic and the colloquial wilds while adding to the amorphous canon of psych-folk.

@voicesbend.bsky.social’s Only the Void Stands Between Us is @bandcamp.com’s album of the day!

“Only the Void…occupies a place that exists somewhere outside of time & space. It inhabits a musical continuum where the cosmic, earthbound, ancient, & eternal meet.”
