The tale of a Boulderite launches a new Feet in 2 Worlds podcast. Premieres on August 20, “A Better Life?” explores how the coronavirus pandemic and the failure of the U.S. reaction to COVID-19 have reshaped the lives of immigrants and their appointments with the U.S. Each episode tells the story of another immigrant and examines how the crisis has challenged or superseded that person’s concept of what it means to be an American. “A better life?” It also includes conversations with immigrant elders (grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles) to find out how they cope with this era and what they have learned over the years that can help us meet today’s challenges. This 10-episode series is presented through Zahir Janmohamed, co-creator and host of the Racist Sandwich podcast, and produced through Mia Warren, former StoryCorps producer and former Boulder resident.

Sometimes you have to create your story. —Cheryl Dunye
Cheryl Dunye, born in Liberia and raised in Philadelphia, began her career in the late 1980s, just as the New Queer Cinema was taking root.Queer cinema existed for decades, but especially in Europe and underground cinema on the American independent scene.When critic B.Ruby Rich coined the term “new queer cinema” in 1992, the underground discovered his path and filmmakers like Dunye were at the forefront.Using emerging video technology, his paintings had the captivating aesthetic of a domestic film related to vintage narrative construction.
The video does wonders for Dunye, his films provide a global look that could be assumed as an autobiographical, however, it is not known whether what you see and hear is a fact or a construction, you will place it in all his work, but it is more dazzling in Dunye’s first feature film in 1996, The Watermelon Woman, starring Dunye he he he , or a mirrored image of herself, a gay black woman who lives in Philadelphia and adapts to a filmmaker. In addition to work as a wedding cameraman, Dunye works in a video store where he meets Diana (Guinevere Turner), who is white.The two begin a date, much to Dunye’s friend Tamara (Valarie Walker), who is black and wonders why Dunye has a date with a white woman.However, when she discovers that Diana has had several black boyfriends, Dunye stops wondering where Diana is in her life and begins to wonder what her position is in Diana’s past.
This isn’t the only thing Dunye cares about: she ran into a black actress from the Golden Age of Hollywood, who is only credited with the title of “The Watermelon Woman.”Dunye goes to investigate, discovers his name, Fae Richardson, and discovers that Richardson is also gay and also on a date with a white woman, Principal Martha Page.
But neither Richardson nor Page were real: Dunye (the director) designs them in a complete fabric, further refracting the truth of her video diaries, even the compelling Hollywood and file photographs used through Dunye (created through New York photographer Zoe Leonard and starring Lisa Marie Bronson as Richardson) are forged.
The Watermelon Woman is not the first time Dunye has played quickly and freely with the truth, dissects her beyond sexual reports and draws the viewer’s attention to behind-the-camera construction.Her early short films, Vanilla Sex, She Don’t Fade and The Potluck and the Passion, show the basics of The Watermelon Woman while remaining decidedly individual. Each painting looks like anything Dunye has taken out of his gut while retaining the malice of a beginner: the guy who just took a camera and learns that it can’t reflect everything, just one component of it all.And let whoever holds the camera reflect it.Maybe he’ll even manipulate.
The Watermelon Woman and six of Dunye’s shorts are broadcast on The Criterion Channel.

When Seattle’s rhythm architect L’Orange teamed up with North Carolina word author Solemn Brigham, the result was an old-school hip-hop on Madvillain’s line: sharp, ingenious bars spit out impressive bass lines.Don’t come here looking for hooks; Brigham has too much to say to waste his time repeating himself.Their album of moments like Marlowe, the flashy Marlowe 2, sees the couple pick up where they left off, with Brigham weaving social commentary on high-pitched rhymes as L’Orange pulls out the boxes.Here, L’Orange ties in lo-fi, funky horns to accentuate Brigham’s flow.DJ Trackstar (from Run the Jewels) adds vocal stripes to put the icing on this hip-hop ice cream.
At first, it’s hard to think that the blue-eyed soul of this piece through Oscar Jerome is a vehicle for a message about climate change, so delicate, so intimate, so warm, it’s Jerome’s expression, but Jerome’s understated folk voice represents part of His superpower, the other part being his deceptively informal way of playing guitar.Bright and agile, “Sun for Someone” warns that Earth does not want humans to survive and, frankly, the planet will be bigger when we leave.Guitar riffs, Jerome keeps shaking his head, never allowing us to succumb to the nihilism of all this: “Melancholy evidence / Fortunately rebuke his ignorance / The earth sighed seeing us die / With our belligerence”.
The word ariwo, according to the London-based band’s website, means “noise” in Yoruba, but is too broad, too negative (at least in English) to describe the melodic fusion of the electronic music quartet with classical and ancestral rhythms.Originally from Iran, Cuba and Canada, Ariwo is inspired by musical traditions around the world as well as in his homeland.This single, from a compilation album through 27 other artists, features a line of Afro-Cuban jazz horn that melts the face.that gives way to saxophone and freewheel solos.

No Joy, paradoxically, channels Nine Inch Nails’ moments of maximum exuberance, leaning more gently toward more brilliant disco rhythms than Trent Reznor, while retaining the jagged edges that characterize commercial rock.For “Dream Rat”, No Joy is grouped with nu- metal singer (and sister of singer Jasamine White-Glutz) Alissa White-Glutz for this rock’n’roll duran-Duran-meets-Ministry.

“It’s scary, but songs can write themselves,” says Kaki King of the first single from his 10th studio album, scheduled for release in the fall, “if you’re in a position to get them.” The world-renowned guitarist and composer really created the Bridge Bridge which makes his six-string guitar sound like a Japanese 12-string koto or a Chinese guzheng. The video, made at home in the 1940s, is a fanciful and unique “travel” video that won’t fail to give you a case of hot blurs.
Available in more locations throughout Boulder County and, of course, here online.
