Issue - Family Saab The Saab, “Saaby Saaby” as the Beall- Chinn family calls it, is old and squeaky but very much loved. The best memories I have in this car, a car more than half my age, is driving around in Fairfield, Connecticut listening to Bob Marley with the convertible top down with my dad. We would both have our sunglasses on and I am sure every time he would remind me to bring a sweatshirt and tie my hair up so it wouldn’t bother me, but being a stubborn kid I wouldn’t. A few blocks of driving with the top down I would get cold, or my floppy hair would tickle my face and he would put it back up. Still, the iconic moments are the ones where I could finish all of Three Little Birds by Bob Marley with the top down and really had no worries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1621599417282-9OR6SBXC7S56FQO0R4PO/pitbull.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #42: The Beall-Chinn Issue - Pitbulls Pitbulls are the outcasts of the dog community. People hold their dogs close and make faces when they see pitbulls walking down the street. We brought a pitbull into our home and I can say with confidence she is the sweetest dog I’ve ever known. Not a vicious bone in her chunky body, only love and the need to sleep. I know she’s a good dog, everyone who meets her can tell she's a good dog and I think she is starting to know that too. I strongly encourage you to adopt or even foster these loving, goofy and sleepy dogs because they will be your best friend, she is definitely mine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1621599525358-VMGOM4ROZ9XXOYYDBVQ2/dietcoke.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #42: The Beall-Chinn Issue - Caffeine-Free Diet Coke Caffeine free Diet Coke, my mom's favorite thing in the world. Since before I can remember I would ask for small sips of her soda which have now turned into big gulps or even finishing half the glass. Every McDonalds run or special occasion = Diet Coke. This can is a staple in our household but because of the pandemic we weren’t able to find any. There was a shortage of aluminum cans so Coca-Cola stopped producing the Caffeine Free Diet Cokes specifically.

Because of this, these little buggers have the lush green pastures to themselves. It is believed that the Faeroe name itself means “sheep islands.” Ownership of the sheep is declared by making a series of simple cuts in the ears. There are 54 unique & approved cuts that can be used in a combination that is against the law to repeat. From the “Sheep Letter” of 1298: “But if he marks sheep which are already marked and puts his mark over that of the owner, he is a thief.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1619190401143-IVC2KZV1V784I5E73N96/Birds.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #40: Faroe Islands Issue - Bird Watching (and protection) If you’re looking to have a Big Year, I suggest making the trip to the Faroe Islands as it has been recorded to show around 300 different bird species have been sighted in the Faroe Islands. Over the centuries sea birds were a crucial part of the Faroese’s diet, but over the years that has become less so. Some types of birds are still hunted, but nowhere near the extent they were in the past. Conversely, bird conservation has become a mission of the Faroese. They are a part of the Ramsar Convention, which works to preserve & sustain wetlands and their inhabitants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1619190435420-G3JAJI3WF4SS6EEQH111/Flower.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #40: Faroe Islands Issue - Flowers The Faroe Islands is a hiker’s dream as it is filled with breathtaking views wherever you look. Part of the reason for this is that there are (apparently) no trees to be found… and sadly, none to climb. However, as you trek across the beautiful landscape you will encounter some truly beautiful flora. Fun fact: Sólja, also known as buttercup or marigold, is the national flower. Another beautiful flower that has a special place in Scandanavian culture is called the Angelica Archangelica. It is considered to be both medicinal and flavorful, being added to food & beverages. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1619190469913-E60X27H87KWAKQQTQHYK/Hammer.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #40: Faroe Islands Issue - Nordic Culture ODIN, ODIN, ODIN! Nordic culture has a rich mythology (a personal favorite of mine, thank you for asking) filled with many gods and creatures that are alive and well in our everyday culture in the U.S. thanks to Marvel and authors like Neil Gaiman. Nordic values are something to behold and we could certainly take a page or two from their book. They believe in preserving the environment, creativity & innovation, openness, compassion & equality, and trust. That’s a pretty good list right there. The Nordic term is indirectly derived from the local Scandinavian term Norden, which means "The Northern lands.” Lately, pretty gross white supremacists have tried to co-opt a lot of Norse mythological imagery. Maybe it’s time we take it back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #40: Faroe Islands Issue https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat39 monthly 0.5 2021-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1618576059811-I0790CHHIY56OR6EOBN2/beat_khruangbin.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #39: Khruangbin, Raku Pottery, Chocolate, Fiddle Leaf Fig Trees - Khruangbin Based in Houston, TX, Khruangbin play a delirious blend of psychedelic soul that would feel equally at home at an urban block party and a Tarantino soundtrack.

The pottery is removed from the kiln when it’s red hot and then cooled quickly, either in the open air (Japanese style) or by placing it in a flammable material like sawdust or newspaper (Western style). The drastic temperature change causes crackling and color shifts, creating a beautiful, earthy finished product that is beloved both in rough, simple states and highly refined ones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1618576190793-AOQ7GCO8Z1X0JH180LIL/beat_chocolate.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #39: Khruangbin, Raku Pottery, Chocolate, Fiddle Leaf Fig Trees - Chocolate Need we say more? Dating back 4,000 years to the Olmec people, chocolate in its multitude of forms and flavors has bewitched our palates for millennia. The Mayans revered it, the Aztecs used it as currency, and today we exercise our own currency power by purchasing fair trade chocolate. Truffles, bars, bon-bons, kisses, mousse, shakes, ice cream… It’s the food of the gods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1618576229864-IHQSX1YXX8PTFU9G6DRX/beat_fig_tree.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #39: Khruangbin, Raku Pottery, Chocolate, Fiddle Leaf Fig Trees - Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree The “it” plant of the year, the choice of influencers and interior designers alike.

Rather than a name or street number on a door, we’re given a phone number. Do we call for entry, rather than knocking? It’s like the setup for a Haruki Murakami story.

Building a board was altered forever by the invention and availability of polyurethane foam during the second world war. This foam and resin was used by craftspeople to create lightweight boards and in record quantities. One of the most popular and versatile styles of boards is known as the “Fish”. A San Diegan named Steve Lis cut and shaped the first ever of its kind out of a salvaged broken board. The unique outline and shape of the boards tail was cut by Lis to mimic the shape of his swim fins as he kneeled. This small maneuverable board altered the trajectory of surfcraft and is still a popular board design. Southern California craftspeople continue the craft in large factories and backyard sheds, building boards whose core purpose is communing with the energy of the ocean. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1617793384659-CWIIG9RGYMSJ9AUODK6S/outlaw.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #37.5: Southern California Street Culture, Part 2 - Biker / Outlaw Like the car culture in Southern California, the weather was also ideal for riding and owning a motorcycle. The fuel efficiency, smaller size as well as price and ease of modification and maintenance made motorcycles truly “freedom machines.” Ability to travel freely as well as the thrill of danger appealed to men and women uninterested in the pursuit of the American dream their parents held so dear. Individuality as well as camaraderie and pride was found in motorcycle culture in Southern California, and the rejection of the status quo was further expressed by the practice of tattooing. The two went hand in hand. Tattooing with its history of being collected by military men deployed overseas was considered by polite society as low class. California with its many coastal military bases and influx of fresh men escaping the rigidity of military life offered havens for people living on the fringes of society and a thrilling escape for the occasional tourist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1617794077846-541A1N89SYC78TVMOWH7/pinstriping_individual.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #37.5: Southern California Street Culture, Part 2 - Pinstriping In southern California our car and motorcycle culture was bursting with individuality. Ed Roth was making one of a kind fiberglass car bodies, tv and movies showed custom vehicles built by famous builders like George Barris. A vehicle off the factory lot was boring. A way to individualize your car and accentuate the lines without major modifications was found in pinstriping. Early usage of brush applied lines were simple and followed standard rules. A new form was popularized by “Von Dutch,” a second generation sign painter creating symmetrical mirrored lines commonly applied at the center of a vehicle's body panel. It is an art form whose secrets were closely guarded by the arts gatekeepers. You would find them at car shows surrounded by crowds applying with a slender knife shaped brush original patterns in one or many different colors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1617794447870-QO9CDHBT8FAY2OYOKVKL/tallcan.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #37.5: Southern California Street Culture, Part 2 - Tall Cans 24-ounce light beers sold everywhere. These are what you grab on the way to the skate session, backyard parties and beach bonfires. Let’s face it. The last thing you want when you’re doing something potentially dangerous is a large amount of caffeine running through your veins. A staple of Southern California social life and loved by many.

Many may remember long nights of underage partying into the early morning and enjoying incomparable late night food. Whether it be a quick trip to Tj for the night life or a multiple weeks long adventure down the coast past Ensenada, Southern Californians have always had a close relationship with our neighboring country. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1617321390861-UZNQD578B2UUTAA8830J/Burrito.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #37: Southern California Street Culture, Part 1 - The Burrito In San Diego, the burrito is a constant source of nourishment. Traditionally, in Mexican cuisine the burrito as we know it now didn’t exist. It was California restaurateurs who made the burrito into an entire meal. Piled high and wrapped to the verge of bursting, it has sustained generations of hard working, hard playing folks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1617321431296-WLPUYL6M2TWFTVF4PO87/PoolSkating.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #37: Southern California Street Culture, Part 1 - Pool Skating Pool skating came about in 1976 during a great Southern California drought. Surfers on skateboards saw a correlation between the curves of a pool and the curves of a wave. They took an opportunity, with many pools left empty, to push the boundaries of what skateboarding could be. Pool skating was born. There are many obstacles to skating a pool — transitioning to vertical, riding over the pool light, hitting tile… each one more difficult than the next. The sound of the skateboard grinding coping (the concrete lip that overhangs the edge of a pool) is the unmistakable proof of achievement only surpassed by grinding over the filter door opening known by the initiated as the Death Box. The Death Box is a formidable obstacle conquered by few deeming itself a revered symbol in Southern California skate culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1617321495518-E6QK56B0LMOPTEYNR586/Lowriders.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #37: Southern California Street Culture, Part 1 - Lowriders The dry and warm climate of Southern California coupled with our abundant roads proved to be ideal conditions for car culture to evolve and grow. Vehicles as symbols of identity, individuality, and social status were readily available to modify and alter to fit individuals living in the prosperity of post war California. Hot rods and their lightweight stripped down utilitarianism for speed were directly contrasted by the lowriders originally modified by Mexican Americans in Los Angeles. Built to be seen, these beautiful shiny cars were adorned with artwork commemorating the owners culture and history as well as accentuating the vehicles lines. Driven slow and low, cruising was a social experience akin to anywhere one had the opportunity to show themselves in the light of the sun or streetlight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #37: Southern California Street Culture, Part 1 https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat36 monthly 0.5 2021-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1616762472948-SPSQB6SVIYAEV3ZCGWLO/1_Subway.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #36: The Graffiti Issue - Subway… live fresh For me, there is one thing that is synonymous with graffiti and that is the subway. These mobile metallic canvases were arguably the original social media… just with more permanent status updates.

From Barry Mcgee to Basquiat to Keith Haring, the bravado of ’80s graffiti culture has made an everlasting mark (see what I did there?) on the art world. I, for one, am delighted by this. Nothing makes a gallery opening more exciting than an artist with a pulse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1616762594980-APAXKZ72L4PCWZO10S71/3_Breakdancing.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #36: The Graffiti Issue - Breakdancing Everyone has attempted a backspin, aka the windmill, right?

But it’s his relationship with Nike that has proven to be the most iconic. Combining Jordan’s vision with Peter Moore, Tinker Hatfield and other design geniuses, Air Jordans hit the scene in the 1980s and swiftly appeared on the feet of athletes, rappers and every kid in both the suburbs and the cities. Today, the 80s and 90s Air Jordans are a popular (and expensive) retro choice, while all the new Jordan brand shoes continue to dominate the market. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1615566520246-KHMIV94M0MHVR8X3TB2C/luisbarragan.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #35: Jordans, Luis Barragan, Kinetic Art & Bubble Gum - Luis Barragán The influence of Mexico’s Luis Barragán on modern and contemporary architecture can’t be understated. His trademark plinth-like, monolithic shapes in earthy colors and his long, low galleries embody his belief that a home should have an emotional connection to its humans and that "any work of architecture which does not express serenity is a mistake.” His own home, which is a UNESCO heritage site, is unassuming from the street, but inside it is a wonderland of color, gentle shapes and unexpected, welcoming spaces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1615566598281-XEKSLPXF1MGROZZIU8EF/kineticart.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #35: Jordans, Luis Barragan, Kinetic Art & Bubble Gum - Kinetic Art Greg pays tribute to Alexander Calder, perhaps the most famous kinetic artist, in today’s illustration. From Naum Gabo in the 1920s to Anne Lilly today, the field of moving art has produced a number of great artists and scores of gorgeous works. While Calder’s elegant and colorful blend of modernism and minimalism has captured our attention for many years, the kinetic art world is wide-ranging. Venezuela’s Jesús Rafael Soto created simple, brilliant works that moved directly in relation to the audience (if you’ve ever been to LACMA, you’ve walked through one). From monumental mobiles to Jean Tinguely’s tabletop industrial marvels, this is an art form that always moves us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1615566638011-SLIHXQJTGFRVTH2XCEMI/bubblegum.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #35: Jordans, Luis Barragan, Kinetic Art & Bubble Gum - Bubble Gum What’s your favorite? Greg gives us Bazooka, with its WWII-inspired name and timeless comic strips featuring the exploits of Bazooka Joe. Bazooka’s packaging design is iconic — and definitely longer lasting than the gum’s flavor. Whether you love Hubba Bubba, Double Bubble or Big League Chew, you know the taste, the unmistakeable smell and the little powdery residue. You’ve felt it hardened and stuck to the bottom of a school desk, and you’ve probably gotten it stuck to your shoe or, heaven forbid, in your hair. We’ve been chewing gum for a lot longer than you probably think. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #35: Jordans, Luis Barragan, Kinetic Art & Bubble Gum https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat34 monthly 0.5 2021-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1614957063732-BXLWZZ50F1DQ6K1YKSI3/beat_owls.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #34: Owls, Lil Buck, Jalapenos & Brancusi - Owls Whether you’re enjoying a Tootsie Pop, reading or watching Harry Potter or taking in some classic Clash of the Titans, you know that owls permeate popular culture. The the owl is an ancient symbol with a multitude of meanings, from wisdom to herald of death. It’s been seen illustrated on the walls of the Chauvet caves, drawn some 33,000 years ago, and Rameses II reportedly punished an Egyptian owl for swatting him in the face with its wings. Since we love them, it’s important to note that many are endangered, including the enormous and beautiful Blakiston’s fish owl. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1614957095353-4OMJ61FSG5VLM62NLEAJ/beat_lil_buck.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #34: Owls, Lil Buck, Jalapenos & Brancusi - Lil Buck Jook master and Memphis native Lil Buck has been mesmerizing us for years now with his fluid, expressive dance. From the famous performance with Yo-Yo Ma to his Rag & Bone outings with Mikhail Baryshnikov and Ai Shimatsu, he’s made it clear that there is no difference between street dance and capital “A” “Art” dance. Choreographer, style icon, TED speaker, he’s a force to be reckoned with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1614957122447-G76JUYDW8BWTLCHU0UG4/beat_jalapeno.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #34: Owls, Lil Buck, Jalapenos & Brancusi - Jalapenos Fresh from the garden or pickled and funky on your ballpark nachos, this ubiquitous little pepper is jalapeño business. Named for Xalapa, Mexico where it was famously cultivated, it’s a worldwide star today. Although it scores a relatively low 2,000–8,000 on the Scoville scale (compared to the whopping 2,200,000 of the Carolina Reaper), it still feels plenty hot to many of us. It’s packed with antioxidants, potassium and vitamins, and its capsaicin is even a natural pain reliever. Whether you love them in salsa, by themselves or even in poppers, you can’t deny they’re a powerful little treat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1614957147117-SJ9ZD4SYVPJ99D7GFF2X/beat_brancusi.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #34: Owls, Lil Buck, Jalapenos & Brancusi - Brancusi A founding father of modernism and one of the greatest sculptors of the 20th century, Constantin Brancusi created elegant, deceptively simple pieces that were often controversial in his time. He was a student of Rodin, and went on to mentor Noguchi, making him a key link between old and new worlds of art. Comparing pieces like Bird in Space and The Kiss gives a glimpse at his stylistic breadth and depth. His Sleeping Muse, which we pay tribute to here, sold for a record-breaking $57.4 million. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #34: Owls, Lil Buck, Jalapenos & Brancusi https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat33 monthly 0.5 2021-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1614348300214-U4W2DX2ZWMHCHEPFUVWZ/bb1A.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #33: The Bento Issue - Protein Every bento box will have a space for some delicious protein, whether that’s meat or a vegetarian option. The nigiri Darren has pictured here has a history as ancient as the bento box itself, although it was a man named Hanaya Yohei in the 1820s who modernized it at his riverside stall who developed it into the type we recognize today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1614348330849-CK6P080XB91D8G76XN1K/bb1B.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #33: The Bento Issue - Sushi Grass Did you know there’s a history behind that little green plastic leafy thing in your bento box? Haran (or baran) is traditionally a fresh leaf slid between two foods to make a waterproof and odor-proof barrier. Sushi chefs often use bamboo leaves for this. Over time, this expense and availability led to the evolution of the plastic thingy that seems to have escaped from an Easter basket. Sidebar: don’t overlook the omelet or rolled egg as a cheap and widespread source of protein in your bento! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1614348380479-83MHDDQKI964J0DCNXFT/bb2.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #33: The Bento Issue - Vegetables Your bento box will also typically have a compartment for vegetables like the edamame and lotus root pictured here. Clay’s favorite vegetarian bento from Ninki in Nashville uses this compartment for some delectable veggie tempura, including mouth-watering disks of sweet potato. And don’t forget the wasabi and ginger! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1614348410317-FH7Q6ZLODP6P96MU5LS8/bb3.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #33: The Bento Issue - Rice The staple food.

This beautiful little aqua-colored bottle probably dates back to the 19th Century. In 1847, Joseph Burnett developed a vanilla extract for food flavoring. He and his partner, the Boston druggist Theodore Metcalf, founded Metcalf & Burnett Chemical Company and created a whole range of products respected for their quality … as well as a cocaine product said to “stimulate healthy and vigorous hair growth.” Burnett also founded an Episcopal church in Boston designated to be “free to all, with no distinctions as to wealth, color, race or station.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1614184609847-92TJDQS0SFPA3BJRGVP9/Clay_Pipe_Bowl.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #32.5: Found Objects, Pt. 2 - Clay Tobacco Pipe Seaside Park, Bridgeport, CT, ca. 1847 Conjuring images of grizzled sea captains eyeing the Connecticut coast, this clay pipe bowl was likely made of Scottish kaolin clay and made in England in the mid-19th Century. The “TD” stamp originated as the mark of Thomas Dormer of London, who was an originator of this style of pipe, producing them until the late 1700s. By the 1800s, “TD” was a generic style mark, and also used by Thomas Duggan, a London pipe maker who supplied the Hudson’s Bay Company. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1614184628060-C6TMNU3ARY14EI9RFYVT/Louis_H_Meyer_Porcelain_Stopper.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #32.5: Found Objects, Pt. 2 - Louis H. Meyer Porcelain Bottle Stopper Block Island, RI, ca. Late 1800s–early 1900s At first glance, this mysterious object could be just about anything — a bracelet, a pin stuck to a bit of corroded metal, a branded onion ring… In fact, it’s a porcelain bottle stopper from Louis H. Meyer. Meyer was both a confectioner and a liquor distributor, so this could have come on a bottle of lager or porter, or maybe a soda. We can both appreciate the intricacy of Meyer’s brand mark and the serendipity of this find while also remembering that most of the “disposable” things we make, sell and consume never really go away. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1614184648280-24YAA731TUHQ968FRC8D/Composite_Doorknob.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #32.5: Found Objects, Pt. 2 - Doorknob South Norwalk, CT, ca. Late 1800s. This find could easily have been mistaken as a beach stone and overlooked. But this brown swirl doorknob, made from a clay composite, was a popular New England hardware choice in the 19th Century. Karl thinks there’s a strong possibility this was produced by the Norwalk Lock Company, which was located across the street from where he found this piece. They were founded in 1865 and made locks and hardware until the 1950s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #32.5: Found Objects, Pt. 2 https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat32 monthly 0.5 2021-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1613741743618-UV4Q50C4GEW6VTPKP0NE/Side_Mirror.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #32: Found Objects - Side Mirror How did this get here? Where’s the rest of the car? Do crabs use it to check their makeup? While whimsical and mysterious, this object also reminds us that our seas and beaches bear the indelible mark of human wastefulness and neglect. The act of saving our oceans begins at home, which is appropriate, because by saving our oceans, we’re ultimately saving ourselves. Also, never forget: objects in mirror are closer than they appear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1613740435419-17IK26KP7AH5M1B4A2AI/Listerine_Bottle_Dig_site.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #32: Found Objects - Listerine Bottle Found: Block Island, RI, ca. 1920s Created by Joseph Lawrence and named after Joseph Lister, Listerine was formulated to be a surgical antiseptic. Later, it was distilled and marketed as everything from floor cleaner to a gonorrhea cure (keep that in mind next time you’re gargling it). It was originally sold by Lambert Pharmacal Company of St. Louis, MO, and appeared in these glass bottles and sealed with a cork. It wasn’t until the 1920s that it was sold for the purpose of curing bad breath, as well as for preventing cold sores. An interesting sidebar, for a brief time, the company also sold mentholated Listerine Cigarettes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1613740527883-80VZITETF2W65TW7XE7Z/VW_Toy_Car_1.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #32: Found Objects - Toy Car Admit it, at first glance you thought this was a real VW Beetle. We did. How this bite-sized bug found its way here we’ll never know, but it does conjure images of childhood trips to the shore. Whether you had Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Micro Machines, or the generic diecast cars found in drug stores and dollar stores, you can relate to the the pure joy that could be found in a simple toy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1613740555790-KTR4SOKLGHRSFNQR6I0L/Enigma_Pocket_Watch.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #32: Found Objects - Enigma Pocket Watch Dial Found: Block Island, RI ca. 1930s It’s easy to imagine this Swiss-made Brevets Enigma watch in the waistcoat pocket of a 1930s sailor or perhaps being pulled out and checked by a man at the beach for a secret tryst — he will later lose track of the watch somewhere in the sand. Wherever it came from, this watch face simultaneously evokes early 20th century glamor while reminding us how time leaves its mark on everything. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #32: Found Objects https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat31 monthly 0.5 2021-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1613395040581-V6BK5G4U9P7FO6NPMHCG/DeathCleaning.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #31: Death Cleaning, Mushroom Coffee, Donuts and Zombie Bunnies - Death Cleaning If it’s a complicated concept, the Germans or Swedes probably have a compound word for it. So it is with dostadning, or “death cleaning.” This Swedish practice helps people prepare for their deaths and care for their loved ones by decluttering their lives and getting everything in order. Of course, people had to make it into a trend for general decluttering, but Margareta Magnusson’s book, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning finds a way to honor its poignant side while also making a case for losing the clutter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1613395062838-N9DDG6S6GTMF1H1Y0Z0P/MushroomCoffee.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #31: Death Cleaning, Mushroom Coffee, Donuts and Zombie Bunnies - Mushroom Coffee While we at The Beat are beings of the bean, there is a growing case for java brewed with fungi. Mushroom coffee is a blend of regular coffee and powdered mushrooms that is believed to have health benefits based upon what kinds of mushrooms you’re using. Lion’s Mane, Reishi and Chaga are just a few of the popular mycelial mix-ins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1613395083344-RPMGXZAKS8CQ8ZV84MFD/holefoods.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #31: Death Cleaning, Mushroom Coffee, Donuts and Zombie Bunnies - Donuts Even sufferers of Trypophobia can’t deny the appeal of our favorite “hole food,” the doughnut. From Krispy Kreme and Dunkin’ to our favorite local bakeries, donuts/doughnuts are divine. Cake, fried, cronut, beignet, sufganiyot… we love ‘em all. The Smithsonian even has a Ring King donut machine in its collection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1613395101969-JPNA3A9UYERGZ4ZZ54EC/ItsAThing.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #31: Death Cleaning, Mushroom Coffee, Donuts and Zombie Bunnies - Zombie Bunnies The zombie bunny. Yeah, it’s a thing. This melding of the cute with the decidedly not-cute is an odd example of the zeitgeist in action. Zombie rabbits appear in video games, as stuffed toys, even as Easter treats. Whether they’re gross Lickers in Resident Evil or the cute ones in Zombie Bunnies or the cute dolls you’ll find on Etsy, they’re here and they’re developed a taste for brains. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #31: Death Cleaning, Mushroom Coffee, Donuts and Zombie Bunnies https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat30 monthly 0.5 2021-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1612541910233-M4J5MV3W2IWZRHW5C6ZI/ReidAgnewArtwork.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #30: The Junk Drawer Illustration by Reed Agnew https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #30: The Junk Drawer https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat29 monthly 0.5 2021-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1611936395558-RNFA3ZJD7LZRLNHX7JUN/ThePizzaIssue-FINAL.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #29: The Pizza Issue! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1611936433177-YWZSG3O9YSC6UL1JW9HO/New_Haven.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #29: The Pizza Issue! - New Haven New Haven is the GOAT.

However, there is a particularly choice time of the night (usually post-bar trips) where pizza is the only decision to be made. 10/10, this is when you call Domino’s and get that serviceable tastiness delivered in 15 minutes or less. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1611936504495-VXZTAPFQDGWQW9PMVLO4/pele.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #29: The Pizza Issue! - Chicago Deep Dish Chicago deep-dish is super tasty. It is filled with tons of flavor and toppings and is baked in a deep pan that gives the pizza its characteristically high edge. It comes across more like a pie, rather than the traditional flatbread approach. “If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.” —Ferris Bueller https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1611936540508-TD0FYTNTIEBKJUM5DNBZ/NYC.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #29: The Pizza Issue! - New York Pizza I stick by my New Haven GOAT claims, but real respects real, and NYC pizza is legit. Slices as big as your face available 24 hours a day. There are many theories as to why NYC pizza is the best, but I think it has to do with one of the greatest features of The City… generations of immigrants bringing their food with them. For me, what’s great about New York is that I can grab a slice of pizza in New Haven and hop on the train to NYC to have even more pizza. There is no such thing as too much pizza. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #29: The Pizza Issue! https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat28 monthly 0.5 2021-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1611329279747-05QTZYNER5PIBYWJJHFB/Somber.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #28: Somber, Stoic, Spiritual, Stubborn - Somber He’s thinking, pondering, and has the look of a philosopher thinking deep thoughts. But there is a world-weary somberness about him. His knit brows betray his worries, his long beard a testament of what? Surely not a style statement; maybe he thinks it makes him look wise. Maybe he just doesn’t want the bother of the razor. Oh, the food his hairy appendage must collect.

Beyond stoicism, her face silently says, “I am resolute. I am strong. I will not be fooled.” Look a little longer, though, and see that her mask does gently reveal more, perhaps, than she would like. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1611329421488-B627XKQX1FQPKXI7IUO4/Spiritual.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #28: Somber, Stoic, Spiritual, Stubborn - Spiritual She holds within her the spirits of many generations.

Does the same hold true for temperament? This man may have been a stubborn child, or life may have sculpted his disposition. Still, it is preferable to think of him as stubborn rather than pugnacious or irascible, both of which might apply. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #28: Somber, Stoic, Spiritual, Stubborn https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat27 monthly 0.5 2021-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1610721836743-YOP10TVY8S6XWWK6RV9Y/TheBeat4Topic_WeaponsOfMassCommunicatio_TwitterWars_NotShownBefore.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat 27: Weapons of Mass Communication https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1610721610473-78AJEBMMXX6F6OT40PU1/TheBeat4Topic_WeaponsOfMassCommunication_01_TongueGun.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat 27: Weapons of Mass Communication - The Power of Words Words can be weapons.

The name comes from a Japanese expression, “A bathing ape in lukewarm water,” used to describe overindulgent and complacent youth, while also paying tribute to Nigo’s love of science fiction — Planet of the Apes in particular. Nigo has since moved on to create a slew of cool brands, while BAPE continues to be loved by the likes of A$AP Rocky, Kanye West, Kid Cudi and more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1610069703770-C5YV20L9U7X2BB2EZE2K/theBeat_kimchi.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #26: A Bathing Ape, Kimchi, Paper Clips, Coffee Beans - Kimchi Salty, spicy, fermenty… this Korean condiment is a staple in all our kitchens here at The Beat. The history of kimchi dates back to at least 37 BCE (take that, Sriracha), and has always been valued for its nutritional power. Aside from making pretty much everything taste exponentially better, it’s filled with probiotics, vitamins, riboflavin and immune-boosting bacteria. You can make it at home without having to bury it in a jar in your yard … although that’s worked just fine for a few thousand years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1610069765260-YEAG40A6OZ3U4ZE1BYOQ/theBeat_paperclips_REVISED.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #26: A Bathing Ape, Kimchi, Paper Clips, Coffee Beans - Paper Clips The humble, ubiquitous paper clip. Denizen of desks, junk drawers and lint traps the world over. First patented by Samuel B. Fay in 1867, it rapidly began to appear in a bevy of unusual designs. Today you can get them shaped like cats, sharks or mustaches (to name a very few interesting forms), and inspired art by makers from school children to filmmakers. The best day to make paper clip art? National Paper Clip Day, of course! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1610069803911-0I4HILZDSGKJBMBLXS7O/theBeat_coffeebeans.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #26: A Bathing Ape, Kimchi, Paper Clips, Coffee Beans - Coffee Beans Whole. Ground. Chocolate covered. These aromatic little bundles of caffeinated delight have become a cultural staple. We’ve gone a long way from Chock Full o’ Nuts cans to artisanal small batch custom roasted Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. More importantly, we’ve learned about the predatory practices of coffee companies against farmers and learned to seek out fair trade sources. Everyone has their favorite brands (the Beat’s Greg loves Canyon Coffee and Clay has a taste for BLK & Bold) and their preferred way of preparation. From Mr. Coffee, French presses and Moka pots to fancy espresso machines, there are as many ways to prepare it as there are baristas ready to roll their eyes at you for it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #26: A Bathing Ape, Kimchi, Paper Clips, Coffee Beans https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat25 monthly 0.5 2020-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1608307905600-LF42BGMCDH02PYNY4P74/theBeat_smell_01.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #25: Smell, Knitting, Jackfruit and Chinatown(s) - Smell We don't always give our sense of smell the credit it’s due. Yes, it lets us know when cookies are baking or the coffee is brewing, but it also alerts us to gas leaks, smoke, and spoiled milk. Smell’s direct line to the limbic system means that it plays a huge role in mood, memory and emotion. Have you ever smelled something and immediately flashed back to childhood? Believe it or not, scent marketing (aka sensory branding) is actually a thing. The perfume industry, Starbucks, Burger King, movie theaters, the water in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride… all of these benefit from our strong emotional connection to smell. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1608307961362-5KZS9YJM0J0KK6EQMJZ9/theBeat_knitting.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #25: Smell, Knitting, Jackfruit and Chinatown(s) - Knitting Although it has been growing in popularity again for a few years, 2020 was the year of the knitters. Although it isn’t as ubiquitous as it was in the 1950s, when nearly everything from socks to sweaters were knitted at home, it has become the pandemic hobby of choice, although one wonders at the gender gap. Today, everyone from Martha Stewart to Vogue is releasing knitting patterns, and the diversity of the community is now getting the visibility and respect it has been denied in the past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1608307997117-O423M3A55S7SLBCH98EU/theBeat_jackfruit.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #25: Smell, Knitting, Jackfruit and Chinatown(s) - Jackfruit The biggest tree fruit in the world is a sustainable superfood. It’s nutritious and amazingly versatile. It’s grown in popularity outside Asia, predominately as a great meat substitute (a personal favorite is the jackfruit taco from Trejo’s Tacos), and this popularity has taken it from a bit of an overabundant nuisance in India to a valuable export. Celebrity chefs and vegan restaurateurs in the west love to dress it up as barbecue or chicken, but throughout Asia it has always been a steady ingredient even though, as writer Madhushree Ghosh says, “No Indian looks for meat substitutes if they’re vegetarian. That’s a western concept.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1608308081624-TABQW6ZJC5O1K9Z8M6HT/theBeat_chinatown.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #25: Smell, Knitting, Jackfruit and Chinatown(s) - Chinatown(s) Most major American cities have or have at one time had a Chinatown. While we love them as bastions of culture and holdouts against the homogenization of America, we have to acknowledge that they were born in racism. Chinatowns exist because white Americans of the late 19th and early 20th centuries terrorized and excluded Asian immigrants so badly that they had to band together to protect themselves from attack (there were 153 anti-Chinese attacks in the 1870s–80s). Today, rampant development and gentrification have endangered many of our Chinatowns, although community associations continue to defend these culturally rich and, in spite of their founding, deeply American places. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #25: Smell, Knitting, Jackfruit and Chinatown(s) https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat22-l2c3e-t5tr4 monthly 0.5 2020-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1607705752899-0HM9UGTYG6T4A4SZKHML/TheHairIssue_FINAL.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #24: The Hairy Edition!

The Mullet, Moustaches, Sideburns & Beards - The Mullet We all know the tale: business up front, party in the back, but did you know that the term “mullet” is credited to the Beastie Boys’ 1994 song, “Mullet Head?” Not only did it take until the ’90s to coin the phrase, but there is historical evidence of this magnificent hairstyle dating back to the days of The Iliad. There is a rather rich and humorous history to the short-long and we are happy that sports like hockey will continue to keep this dream do alive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1607705884140-6O7QQYZWKSS5GDXGVHGT/Moustaches_Individual.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #24: The Hairy Edition! The Mullet, Moustaches, Sideburns & Beards - Moustaches Moustaches aren’t just for dads and Tom Selleck anymore. With the great causes like Movember, which raise awareness for men’s health, the ‘stache is here to stay. You can’t have amazing Westerns like Tombstone without some seriously misplaced eyebrows. There are literally world-class competitions for how creatively you can grow and creatively style the bro-merang. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1607705904597-VYT6BJFTFD0QEG6AY1OO/Sideburns_Individual.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #24: The Hairy Edition! The Mullet, Moustaches, Sideburns & Beards - Sideburns Let’s all take a second and applaud General Ambrose Burnside, who didn’t invent the look but wore it so well that people started referring to sideburns as “burnsides.”* Talk about a legacy. If you are unsure what the best approach is to some seriously solid chops, rest easy as there is plenty of guidance out there for you. Just make sure that you avoid the anti-burn… please. *Fun fact: Outer Voice editor Clay dated one of Gen. Burnside’s descendants in high school. She did not have sideburns. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1607705937125-D0GMTP6RUQ5HU6ON1R1U/Beard_Individual.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #24: The Hairy Edition! The Mullet, Moustaches, Sideburns & Beards - Beards Other than keeping others safe, quarantining has given us some pretty amazing beards. Growing and grooming a proper beard is certainly an endeavor that often takes more grooming than you might think. From ZZ Top top to just about every plaid-wearing Brooklynite, the beard is one of the ultimate hairstyle expressions. As a fellow beardo myself, I can tell you emphatically that moisturizing is key. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #24: The Hairy Edition!

Much later, Queen Victoria made waves when she dressed the young Prince Albert in a sailor suit with nautical stripes for a Royal Yacht event. Coco Chanel is credited for taking inspiration from the 21-stripe French navy uniform to design her version of the continuously popular Breton shirt. Later, in the 1960s and ’70s, striped shirts gained momentum and symbolized rebellion for punks and more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1607093189582-0TSUU65IDBBN60HBZIW4/K2.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #23: The Surprising Story of Patterns: Stripes, Paisley, Floral and Polka Dots - Paisley (Shown: Wilroy Ban-Lon paisley dress with vintage-inspired French sunglasses sourced in Manhattan) This ornamental design is based on the Persian buta, a teardrop-shaped motif with a curved end. Textile designs featuring dense repeats of the design came from India. The name was derived from the town of Paisley in Scotland, a textile center where the fabrics were produced. 19th century artists wore paisley as a badge of bohemianism, and the Beatles and other rockers loved it in the 1960s. Prince brought paisley back with a fury in the 1980s, and sparked a craze in the early 1990s among indie rockers. And it adorns pretty much all of Brad Paisley’s guitars. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1607093240747-6U7BBNE1BB0X3HMGK564/K3.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #23: The Surprising Story of Patterns: Stripes, Paisley, Floral and Polka Dots - Floral (Shown: Union Made in USA flower motif blouse with retro Gucci wrap sunglasses sourced in Brooklyn) Floral motifs began appearing in apparel fabrics in 12th century China and spread throughout the Middle east and Asia. In the Victorian era the practice of communicating through bouquets and floral arrangements emerged. Known as Floriography, secret messages were sent between lovers this way. The 20th century globalized the use of floral motifs in textile prints, but no doubt the “flower power” movement of the 1960s remains memorable to most. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1607093282496-8YIZ70R9TJ0JIDJ00104/K4.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #23: The Surprising Story of Patterns: Stripes, Paisley, Floral and Polka Dots - Polka Dots (Shown: Pink, black and white Janzen polka dot blouse with rare vintage French sunglasses sourced in Paris) Polka dots once signaled disease in Europe, since unevenly spaced marks on the skin were linked to maladies. Tuberculosis led to blood stains in dotted patterns on handkerchiefs. However, in parts of Africa, dots were a sign of virility and magic. There are a few theories about where these dots get their name, but we know it’s rooted in the late 19th century polka craze. In the 1940s, they were popular enough for Frank Sinatra to sing about them, and we can’t leave out the once-ubiquitous “Itsy-Bitsy Teenie-Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.” Today, the ravishing work of visionary artist Yayoi Kusama brings back the magic and mystery of this storied pattern. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #23: The Surprising Story of Patterns: Stripes, Paisley, Floral and Polka Dots https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat22 monthly 0.5 2020-11-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1606500060903-Y6ZJDGQ65SVCBB3YAAVY/alohashirtREV.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #22: Hawaii Issue! Aloha Shirts, Shave Ice, Pele and King Kamehameha - Aloha Shirt In 1931, Ellery Chun graduated from Yale with an economics degree, and returned to his home in Hawaii with a plan. Two years later, the Aloha Shirt was all the rage with the surfing crowd, and would spread to the closets of tourists, Hollywood stars and Presidents. While Chun didn’t invent the Aloha Shirt, but he did bring it to the mainstream, and soon brands like Kahala followed. In the late ’50s, Reyn McCullough and Ruth Spooner’s Reyn Spooner brand brought a refined design aesthetic and finer fabrics, lifting the look to the point where it became common business casual wear throughout the state. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1606500095405-4DZ56LFTSSC6EQBH53EJ/shaveiceREV.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #22: Hawaii Issue! Aloha Shirts, Shave Ice, Pele and King Kamehameha - Shave Ice Mainlanders might confuse it for a snow cone, but shave ice is a quintessential Hawaiian treat with a long history. Going back to the 7th Century, kakigori is a traditional shaved ice treat favored in Japan. In the 1800s, Japanese immigrants who worked the sugar and pineapple plantations introduced the treat on the islands, flavoring the ice with sugar or fruit juice. In 1951, Matsumoto’s Shave Ice opened on Oahu’s North Shore and a dessert dynasty was born. Today, the treat can be found in a multitude of amazing shops, and comes in a cornucopia of flavors, from pineapple to green tea, and are topped with anything from mochi to condensed milk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1606500135536-ZKREE1Y2LXMQSHUA7PNA/pele.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #22: Hawaii Issue! Aloha Shirts, Shave Ice, Pele and King Kamehameha - Madame Pele Goddess of fire and shaper of sacred land, Pele is one of the most enduring deities in world mythology. She has many origin stories, but everyone acknowledges that she lives in Halemaʻumaʻu, the crater of the very active volcano, Kilauea. From there, she is said to direct the volcano’s lava flow. Although missionaries (of course) banned Hawaii’s old religion in 1819, but Pele has persevered in our imaginations to today, largely because she represents the power of the earth and resistance to colonization. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1606500193506-4US2SDMXPT2NCOE2POLM/kamehameha.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #22: Hawaii Issue! Aloha Shirts, Shave Ice, Pele and King Kamehameha - King Kamehameha Founder of the Kingdom of Hawaii, was seemingly destined for greatness. Born in 1758 when Halley’s comet appeared in the sky as an omen of auspicious birth, he was named Kamehameha (the lonely one) after being successfully hidden from warring clans. Trained as a warrior, he made a tentative friendship with Captain Cook before going on to unite the islands and establish the Kingdom of Hawaii, which persisted until 1893, when it was overthrown by non-native Hawaiians and Europeans with business interests (the name Dole ring a bell?) King Kamehameha is revered to this day and seen as a symbol of Hawaiian sovereignty and independent spirit. June 11 is Kamehameha Day, and statues of the king are decorated with leis, including the one in the US Capitol’s National Statuary Hall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #22: Hawaii Issue!

This obsession with always being on was the inspiration behind National Day of Rest: a call to action to put ourselves first, before our productivity. Know that you don’t have to earn a break, a nap, a getaway or reset. You are allowed to to rest as much as your body calls for it, because a restless mind, body and spirit should never be the ideal. Take the pledge to put yourself first everyday here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1605884773515-BANKMTF2PPEJFWMBF50N/TheBeat_Mel_StatesofDoing2.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #21: States of Doing — Rest, Joy, Play & Love - Joy Ever heard of the feel-good hormone, Dopamine? It’s a neurotransmitter (aka the nervous system’s chemical messenger) that’s associated with all pleasurable experiences, from laughter to achieving goals big and small. Dopamine deficiency can show up in physical & mental misalignments, from inability to focus & fatigue to trouble sleeping & balancing. So when you’re feeling low energy, lift yourself time for whatever it is that lifts you up in boundless joy, laughter & light. Your body will thank you for it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1605884836739-BA756K4IFR62OVB6R5XJ/TheBeat_Mel_StatesofDoing3.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #21: States of Doing — Rest, Joy, Play & Love - Play In a world of rigidity and schedules, deadlines and deliverables, keeping our inner child alive becomes less of a priority. For children, it’s well known that learning happens through playing and we’re encouraged to foster that behavior – why do we give that up so easily as adults? Play is imperative to creativity, problem solving & building connections – all of which we can utilize in our grown jobs & adult lives. Leave room in your schedule for surprises, fun, fantasy & all the things you’d encourage a blossoming little one to partake in.

And while it’s heavily linked to sexual pleasure, it also enhances relaxation, communication, trust and overall mental stability. The best part: it doesn’t require romantic partnerships to channel. We spend a ton of time talking about and looking for love from external sources, when we have everything we need right within us. Take time to love on yourself, appreciate all that you are, all that you’ve overcome and are working through. Lead with love and compassion and empathy before jumping to conclusions or judgement.

From the Silk Road to the grocery aisle, the evolution of the noodle is in many ways the evolution of modern worldwide civilization. Recorded as early as the third century CE in China and the fifth century in Israel, this starchy staple traveled the world in large part thanks to Genghis Khan (and, of course, Marco Polo). From angel hair to ziti, we love our Italian pasta, while noodles from Asia come in a glorious variety, made from buckwheat, rice, egg, kelp, tapioca and more. It’s an egalitarian food, source of haute cuisine and a cheap and easy source of nutrition for us regular folks throughout history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #20: The Sourdough Boule, Tulum Mexico, Dining Greenhouses and Noodles! https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beatelectionday monthly 0.5 2020-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1604428145349-G4LV04L1ETOXB4HXYO5I/TheVotingIssue-FINAL.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat Special Election Day Issue https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1604435945944-CE97RXD5MWUSOQEX0MC8/State_Color.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat Special Election Day Issue - The Color Coding of Politics Red state, Blue state.

Classic Movie Monsters - Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde Originally a novella published in 1886, this “strange case” has remained in popular culture with versions of the characters scaring audiences of the silver screen as recently as 2017 with Universal’s reboot of The Mummy. A truly cautionary tale about the dark side of one’s personality, this legendary story will continue to delight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1604069270583-3H79VV1V6SWLEHFCOEVI/Nosferatu.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #18: The Halloween Issue! Classic Movie Monsters - Nosferatu More than just the pioneer of creepy shadows, this menacing man appeared on the scene back in 1922 with his Symphony of Horror. Nosferatu was so creepy that the film was banned in Sweden until 1972. That is some really remarkable scaring ability. Not to be outdone by Max Schreck’s original performance, Willem Dafoe reprises the character in 2000’s Shadow of the Vampire which is a very well done piece of horror itself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1604069290856-B83H6PDT8QR3MJ33BX4C/Phantom.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #18: The Halloween Issue!

You already know the next stop, and you already know which line you’re on — probably even if it’s your first time. That’s because of good design. Massimo Vignelli, design maestro and the king of New York design for decades, brought elegance, simplicity and clarity to the subway system’s signage and maps in the early 1970s. His graphic standards manual has become a design classic and is still in use. His signage and subway map, with its simple dot-to-dot navigation, clear Helvetica type and color coding makes it as easy to navigate the City underground as it is to follow its above-ground grids. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1603463401310-8LFCTTI91ZJWX1IAF5O5/mohawk.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #17: NYC Subway Graphic Design, the Mohawk, Lucha Libre and Ramen - The Mohawk Although the name comes from the Indigenous American Mohawk people of the Iroquois Confederacy, that is (like most colonist monikers) inaccurate. The Mohawk people don’t wear their hair quite that way, and the hairstyle has origins with the Pawnee, the Irish, Cossacks and more around the world. American GIs picked up the style in WWII, but it was the 1970s punk explosion that made the modern mohawk what it is today. Punks in London’s Sloane Square strutted around with it, Joe Strummer briefly sported one. In America, Mr. T popularized it in the suburbs. Whether it’s on a punk or a poodle, it’s a hairstyle that stands out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1603463463607-4JBJ4293U8Y5DERUV8D4/fortnite.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #17: NYC Subway Graphic Design, the Mohawk, Lucha Libre and Ramen - Lucha Libre Somewhere between superheroes and Las Vegas magicians, masked luchadores bring heritage, athleticism and melodrama together for some of the most thrilling professional wrestling around. With its complex storylines, dramatic face reveals and high-flying athletes, North American wrestling sometimes pales in comparison. From El Santo in the 1940s to today’s WWE superstar Rey Mysterio, the luchador tradition is a proud one. Although the iconic mask is what we most identify with the sport, not all luchadores wear them. Wrestling runs in the family, with many multi-generational luchador enmascarado dynasties. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1603463504003-6GDNTXEOWQ05NA5GHKD5/boba.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #17: NYC Subway Graphic Design, the Mohawk, Lucha Libre and Ramen - Ramen It’s the ultimate comfort food. The chewy noodles, the rich broth, that perfect, perfect egg… すごい！For too long, Americans identified ramen with those desiccated bricks that came from the bottom shelf at the supermarket. Traditional ramen is a thing of culinary beauty. It originated in China before migrating to Japan and becoming a popular food at stalls and shops throughout the country. The ingredients are simple — wheat noodles, a basic broth, some vegetables and protein. The magic is in the mixing. Whether you prefer a bone broth tonkatsu or a miso broth from Hokkaido, whether your favorite toppings are squid, pork, green onions or all of the above, there’s a ramen to warm your bones on a chilly, damp evening. PS: Greg’s current favorite is the Flying Vegan Harvest from Jinya Ramen in Los Angeles, while Clay’s digging the Yosai Shoyu (with an egg and chili oil) at Two Ten Jack in Nashville. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #17: NYC Subway Graphic Design, the Mohawk, Lucha Libre and Ramen https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat16 monthly 0.5 2020-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1602251163635-IJ6KWG3Q6GMQRG5IB66W/MasterPlan_TheBeatSingleTopic%26Issue.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #16: Favorite Hip-Hop Lyrics, Big Pun, Rakim, Jay-Z, Nipsey Hussle - Eric B. & Rakim, Paid in Full A lot of people consider Rakim to be the father of modern hip-hop lyric style. His complex rhyme schemes and quick shifts in phrasing stood out in the 1980s rap pack, and this classic 1987 Eric B. & Rakim track is proof. It starts out feeling like a typical ’80s rap track, but as Rakim folds the flow in on itself and packs the lines with internal rhyme, the song comes to life. It’s short and it packs a punch. It’s all about getting paid in full, but it’s also about looking back on where you’ve come from, and planning out not just the next step, but the next ten. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1602250800348-23549R1BYIL707VL7AKH/Longevity_TheBeatSingleTopic%26Issue.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #16: Favorite Hip-Hop Lyrics, Big Pun, Rakim, Jay-Z, Nipsey Hussle - Big Pun, Capital Punishment The title track off Big Pun’s 1998 debut is as strong today as it was the day it dropped. Big Punisher, aka Big Pun, was the first Latino rapper to go platinum, and the way he spits fast rhymes over this laid-back track proves why. His message is important. You simply won’t go far with a negative mindset. Living positively doesn’t mean you have to ignore your issues, problems or reality, focus on the good in any given situation. With the world in its current state, we need to put our minds together now in efforts to eliminate hate, violence and social injustice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1602250706863-PU28D763X42PSYKFU5YW/Hustle_TheBeatSingleTopic%26Issue.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #16: Favorite Hip-Hop Lyrics, Big Pun, Rakim, Jay-Z, Nipsey Hussle - Jay-Z, Can’t Knock the Hustle Reasonable Doubt was one of the most notable debut records in hip-hop history, in no small part to this track. “Can’t Knock the Hustle” gives us Jay-Z the Brooklyn hustler before he became Jay-Z the rap legend. He’s rough, ambitious and cocky. He reminds us you can’t judge a person who is trying to better themselves, who is working hard for a goal. Mary J. Blige was right at the edge of her own career breakout when she sang the chorus on this track, and her voice floats perfectly over Jay-Z as he extols the virtues of the hustle that would take him from the Marcy Houses projects to becoming the first billionaire rapper. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1602251092577-0BE9V3R5BABMPXMNQSAU/Progression_TheBeatSingleTopic%26Issue.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #16: Favorite Hip-Hop Lyrics, Big Pun, Rakim, Jay-Z, Nipsey Hussle - Nipsey Hussle, Top Down We lost Nipsey Hussle way too soon. He was the mixtape master with a laid-back west coast flow that seemed always just about to fall behind the track, but that always held on. This track from his debut is stripped-down and solid, and this line reinforces the record title The Marathon, it’s all about the head-down grind and steady progress. “Class is in session, rap till I’m restless / ‘cause constant repetition is the path to progression.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #16: Favorite Hip-Hop Lyrics, Big Pun, Rakim, Jay-Z, Nipsey Hussle https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat15 monthly 0.5 2020-11-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1601642958656-78UEZPVOMQNYNB5QAVQZ/unbreakablecomb.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #15: Land Rover Defender, Zippo Lighters, Bossa Nova, Boba Tea https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1601643035063-M2CPO56ZMMY927HDIC2U/defender.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #15: Land Rover Defender, Zippo Lighters, Bossa Nova, Boba Tea - Land Rover Defender Land Rover is the quintessential British four-wheel drive. The Defender, stocky and tough as a bulldog, sexy enough for a super spy, is its most iconic model. Over the years, it evolved from gentry farm machine to luxury vehicle, but it never lost that tough silhouette that made it coveted by surfers, stars, explorers and soldiers. Whether you’re carving your way through the mountains or cruising down the PCH, the Defender is the epitome of style and substance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1601643110465-EEZXEUYK3JJXY2W7TGKU/zippo.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #15: Land Rover Defender, Zippo Lighters, Bossa Nova, Boba Tea - Zippo Lighter That signature clink, click and whoosh. The smell of the lighter fluid. That trick where you snap it open and snap it lit that nobody but Mr. White in Reservoir Dogs seemed to be able to do. Cool, sleek, and the ultimate marriage of form and function. The classic silver (or brass) Zippo somehow feels more confident than any of the fussiest Ronsons or Dunhills. In an age where everything seems disposable or digital, the reassuring, solid heft of a Zippo in your pocket connects you to craftsmanship, style and design for the long haul. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1601643146364-WG94OUUDX2HA0JSYNAGT/fortnite.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #15: Land Rover Defender, Zippo Lighters, Bossa Nova, Boba Tea - Bossa Nova Pretty sure if you drove your Defender to a party where you lit some beautiful someone’s cigarette, Bossa Nova would be the soundtrack. The sexy, slinky sound was born in Rio in the early 1950s and developed by greats like guitar virtuoso João Gilberto, drummer Milton Banana, singer Elizabeth Cardoso and composer Antônio Carlos Jobim and the great Laurindo Almeida (among many others). It became the sound of mid-60s tropical elegance, romantic cocktail parties and, once Astrud Gilberto’s divine interpretation of “The Girl From Ipanema” conquered the airwaves, the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1601643234323-4O8W1VRF5YDFCVV3M2DO/boba.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #15: Land Rover Defender, Zippo Lighters, Bossa Nova, Boba Tea - Boba Tea Today it’s ubiquitous. Boba tea (or bubble tea), in all its flavors and colors and all its chewy, weird glory, has stolen our hearts. But its story goes back to the early 1980s, when a savvy Taiwanese gourmand (there are multiple reported originators) had the idea of combining three popular street treats: milk tea, shaved ice and tapioca balls. It became hugely popular throughout East and Southeast Asia before making its way across the Pacific to the States. If you don’t have a boba shop nearby, don’t fret. Hit your local asian market (or online version) for some classic 3:15 PM milk tea and some tapioca pearls, and find yourself a yummy recipe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #15: Land Rover Defender, Zippo Lighters, Bossa Nova, Boba Tea https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat14 monthly 0.5 2020-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1601317290160-MCDE0XXGMJ6JHOLHYTRO/TheIssuesIssue-FINAL+%281%29.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #14: The Great Women Issue, Malala Yousafzai, Frida Kahlo, Greta Thunberg, Gloria Steinem and Ruth Bader Ginsburg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1601045422960-A2GQYF9P0YXBWZ4GFR2H/Malala.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #14: The Great Women Issue, Malala Yousafzai, Frida Kahlo, Greta Thunberg, Gloria Steinem and Ruth Bader Ginsburg - Malala Yousafzai When Malala was 15, she was brave enough to defy the Pakistani Taliban with her activism for female education.

The Arcade Era, Evolution of Home Consoles, Today's Games and New Technology - The Arcade Era As video games evolved from the simple blips of Pong to the marginally less simple blips of Space Invaders, the first great era of video gaming was born — the arcade era. From Asteroids to Galaga, Defender and Donkey Kong, these games evolved fast. It was a kind of arms race in graphic and sound design. Gen-Xers feel nostalgia for these games the way the previous generation felt about the Beatles. Not only did Frogger, Tron, Dragon’s Lair (maddeningly impossible game), Centipede and all the rest set the stage for gaming at home, they also contributed to the rapid and sophisticated growth of digital design and technology. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1600442761105-DSB5W5FPQYSDKE4SW6MW/nintendo.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #13: Video Games! The Arcade Era, Evolution of Home Consoles, Today's Games and New Technology - Evolution of the Home System It all really started with the Atari home console (or the generic Sears version that I had). Early games like Combat were little more than large blocks firing smaller blocks at each other. Soon, Coleco and Nintendo challenged Atari with sleeker consoles and better graphics. The 1990s were ruled by Nintendo and Sega, with Mario and Sonic battling it out in the marketplace. In 1995, the first PlayStation hit the US and all bets were off. From then to today, the PlayStation and XBox have been the home heavy hitters, with other notable consoles like the Wii making splashes, as well. PC gaming also took off in the 1990s, and is as strong today as ever. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1600442789269-RT4W6OPD171T7TJUAVCA/fortnite.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #13: Video Games!

Angry Birds was a pop culture phenomenon (I hear the music in my sleep) that, like Pac-Man in the previous century, expanded to tv, movies and approximately forty bazillion licensed products. Pokemon Go opened the world up to gaming in the physical world, bringing augmented reality gaming to the world. The Nintendo Switch revolutionized portable systems.

Tony Hawk, Z-Boys, Bones Brigade & the Evolution of Skate Fashion - Evolution of Skate Fashion Brands Skate fashion was a thriving thing for decades before Supreme was doing collabs with Louis Vuitton and Stüssy was teaming with Marvel. It began simply, some Vans to grab the deck and whatever out of the laundry basket that smelled the least dirty. Over time, certain brands began to key in to that sweet spot for skaters — the place where function met cool. In 1986, every kid in school had to have a Vision Street Wear t-shirt the way every kid has to have a Supreme shirt today. Vision Skateboards had serious cred for sponsoring Gator Rogowski and Mark Gonzales, and when they launched Vision Street Wear, they were off to the races. Stüssy was founded in the ’80s and became a huge driver in the culture, inspiring a host of designers, including the founders of east coast skate cool, Supreme… and I think we all know how that worked out. Skate fashion, street fashion and high fashion have influenced one another for decades, and it doesn’t look like it’ll be stopping any time soon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1599789468078-3WW3V894V5VOPEEMP3EF/jaws.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #12: The Skateboarding Issue! Tony Hawk, Z-Boys, Bones Brigade & the Evolution of Skate Fashion - Tony Hawk Would Tony Hawk still be synonymous with skateboarding if he didn’t have video games named after him? Totally. Aside from being a world-class skater, Hawk was the perfect global ambassador for skateboarding — charismatic, chill and savvy. The Birdman, inventor of the 900, Hawk was mentored by the great Stacy Peralta in both skating and vision, and he’s largely responsible for bringing skateboarding to the mainstream. The Pro Skater series has produced some of the most loved (and least loved) video games out there. The Skatepark Project (formerly the Tony Hawk Foundation), has funded more than 600 skateparks across the US. Skateistan does the same in Afghanistan, Cambodia and South Africa. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1599789576662-XC4TG7RBX3YU58NOMX7Z/dogtownFinal.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #12: The Skateboarding Issue! Tony Hawk, Z-Boys, Bones Brigade & the Evolution of Skate Fashion - Dogtown & Z-Boys This story goes back to 1976, when a scrappy crew of surfer/skaters created a skating branch of the Zephy Surf Team. Chris Cahill, Stacy Peralta, Tony Alva, Peggy Oki (the only girl of the crew), Jay Adams and Nathan Pratt were among the first Z-Boys, carving curbs and surf throughout Dogtown — southwest Santa Monica down to Pacific Ocean Park. Their surfing-influenced style was revolutionary for skateboarding and the rapidly made a name for themselves and transformed the sport forever. The documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys and the feature film Lords of Dogtown deliver a great one-two punch of telling the tale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1599789725874-ME2CFKYOTYOHTRFOF5EN/eichler.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #12: The Skateboarding Issue! Tony Hawk, Z-Boys, Bones Brigade & the Evolution of Skate Fashion - Bones Brigade Stacy Peralta is really the glue of all our stories today. In 1978, the former Z-Boy and future Hawk mentor joined forces with George Powell to form Powell Peralta — arguably the skate brand of the 1980s (they produced some of the dopest and most iconic decks of the decade). The Bones Brigade premiered in ’79. This was Powell Peralta’s team, which became a who’s-who of skating greats, including Hawk, Mike Vallely, Steve Caballero, Mike McGill and Ray Bones Rodriguez. Peralta’s Bones Brigade Video Show is the progenitor of today’s ubiquitous skate videos… just on VHS. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #12: The Skateboarding Issue!

Duke Kahanamoku, Jaws Surf Break, Evolution of the Surf Board Fin and Gerry “Mr. Pipeline” Lopez - Duke Kahanamoku The one and only Big Kahuna, Duke Paoa Kahinu Mokoe Hulikohola Kahanamoku was the grandaddy of modern surfing. Duke competed for the U.S. in multiple Olympics, winning medals as a swimmer and water polo competitor. He was a movie actor, family man and business man, but he’s best known as the first ambassador of surfing. Surfing had nearly been wiped out by 19th Century missionaries, but Duke was instrumental in popularizing the sport. The Duke Kahanamoku Foundation continues his legacy, providing scholarships and support for young Hawaiian athletes. Check out his 8 Ways to Be a Surfer for insight into his character. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1599180940061-GFGE2T7S3XGP2X5IPNLB/jaws.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #11: The Surf Issue!

The great Laird Hamilton, along with the Strapped Crew, made history as the first surfer to be towed in by jet ski, but surfers have been taking Jaws on for as long as people have taken to the water. Gerry Lopez called it “Domes” before it was Jaws, and its traditional name is Ke Kai 'o Waitakulu or “The Teary Eye.” Check out footage from the 2019 Jaws Big Wave Championship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1599181066075-H9MR4IZWSNRY800KN41S/lasvegas_googie.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #11: The Surf Issue! Duke Kahanamoku, Jaws Surf Break, Evolution of the Surf Board Fin and Gerry “Mr. Pipeline” Lopez - Evolution of the Fin For much of the history of the surfboard, the fin just wasn’t a thing. Traditional surfers relied on dragging their feet or shaping their boards for control. In 1935, surfer Tom Blake stuck an aluminum speedboat keel to the bottom of his board and fins were born. The control was incredible, and soon surfers everywhere were building on the idea. Single fins evolved into streamlined, shark-like, futuristic things of wood, plastic and fiberglass. The twin fin came along in the ’70s, and in 1981 Simon Anderson introduced the three-finned Thruster. Quads, Twinzers and Bonzers followed.

Like Duke Kahanamoku, he also dabbled in movies, appearing in films ranging from North Shore to Conan the Barbarian. Since the early ’70s, he’s been acknowledged as the king of tuberiders. Today he lives in Oregon and snowboards as much as he surfs, but no matter whether he’s shaping boards or doing yoga, he’ll be iconic in that chill pose, earning the name Mr. Pipeline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #11: The Surf Issue!

We don’t really think… Volkswagen Beetle. And the advertisers who helped push the little bug that could over the transom for US consumers knew this. That’s why they started with the eye-catching, brilliantly executed “Think Small” and “Lemon” campaigns, which helped position the little Volkswagen for the decade to come, when it would be ubiquitous on American roads. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598565378717-8Q3PE94SR7JJZC0XGAQ3/littlerichard.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #10: Modernism Hits the 'Burbs!

Volkswagen Beetle, Little Richard, Las Vegas, Eichler Homes - Las Vegas Paiute land that would be colonized by a dubious array of settlers, politicians, gangsters, lounge singers and tourists, Las Vegas as we know it today really began to boom in the 1950s. Bugsy Siegel may have died (in a hail of gunfire) in 1947, but his Flamingo was joined in the late 1940s and early ’50s by the Sahara, the Sands, the Riviera, the Tropicana and more. By 1954, 8 million people visited annually, taking in the grand lights and part with some $200 million. In 1954 dollars. In 1959, Betty Willis’ gorgeous “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign went up, perfectly capturing the dazzling lights and mod Googie craziness of the city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598565512849-1LC7NNPS54TUC5W70GVR/eichler.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #10: Modernism Hits the 'Burbs!

But it was Joseph Eichler who struck the perfect balance of streamlined design and accessibility with his subdivisions. Eichler homes as they’re known, are known for their post-and-beam construction, long lines, open floorplans and vast expanses of glass.

The go-to for the latest in not only the titular art and architecture but also societal issues in housing, education and segregation, this publication was as intelligent as it was beautiful. Showcasing the likes of Richard Neutra, Charles and Ray Eames, John Lautner and many more, this publication brought West Coast design to the world… and the world took notice. It’s thanks to Arts & Architecture that we have the famed Case Study Houses (see below), and that American mid-century modern design came to be the force it remains today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1597977033249-RWHN1VYAYXZWJVXI2A81/clash.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #9: Midcentury Modern Issue, Arts & Architecture, Isamu Noguchi, Eileen Gray, Case Study Houses - Isamu Noguchi The son of Japanese poet Yone Noguchi and American editor Leonie Gilmour, Isamu Noguchi would become one of the most important American sculptors, designers and multidisciplinary artists of the 20th century — despite experiencing internment as a Japanese-American during World War II and enduring the long-term effects wrought by systemic American racism. Perhaps best known for his shapely lamps and light fixtures, he was a sculptor of incredible subtlety and depth. As a designer, he created baby monitors for Zenith, tables for Herman Miller and stage sets for Martha Graham and Merce Cunningham. Noguchi was truly a poet with stone, and you can see much of his work today at The Noguchi Museum in Long Island, New York. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1597977301014-VE30BC6P9U6WSN8KRDW8/eileengraychair.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #9: Midcentury Modern Issue, Arts & Architecture, Isamu Noguchi, Eileen Gray, Case Study Houses - Eileen Gray With a long and eclectic career, Eileen Gray is the dark horse of the modern movement. She first came to renown in the early 1900s as a sought-after designer of art deco lacquer screens and decorative panels. Always one to push boundaries, she actually caused a Parisian riot exhibiting a white-lacquered boudoir in 1923. Gray went on to lead the pack in new furniture design with pieces like her 1926 Bibendum chair (in Greg’s illustration), Transat chair and graphic rugs. But, it was her foray into architecture that has had one of the most lasting and interesting impacts on design. Her famous E-1027 villa on the French Riviera is a modernist’s sugar cube dream of long white lines, angles and glass. And although her friend Le Corbusier would go on to paint some garish murals in it after her death, and it would face other challenges over the decades, the house remains her most visible legacy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1597977406954-7UURLGZ7E6MJQEH0EQFC/bowie.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #9: Midcentury Modern Issue, Arts & Architecture, Isamu Noguchi, Eileen Gray, Case Study Houses - Case Study Houses Only 36 were designed, fewer were built and just over 20 remain scattered over California and Arizona, but the Case Study Houses are some of the most influential and immediately recognizable structures to come from midcentury modernism. The Case Study House program began in Arts & Architecture magazine as an initiative to create low-cost, modern home prototypes — an effort to bring new design to everyone. Charles and Ray Eames (whose house is our illustration), Richard Neutra, Pierre Koenig, Eero Saarinen and Raphael Soriano were some of the architects who brought these houses to life, while photographer Julius Shulman brought them into the American imagination. The most famous Case Study houses include the Stahl House (#22) in West Hollywood, the colorful Eames House (#8) and Soriano’s steel-framed CSH 1950 house in Pacific Palisades. Each one is a look back at an optimistic vision for the future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1598029745590-SEWAKB5JX9BKEPJ1A052/TheBeatIllustration_CassetteTapeSmall.jpeg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #9: Midcentury Modern Issue, Arts & Architecture, Isamu Noguchi, Eileen Gray, Case Study Houses https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat8 monthly 0.5 2020-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1597674627025-USEL8VMIGWTCSEY8STK1/boombox+%281%29.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #8: Mixtape Issue, Side B: The Cramps, Joy Division, The Smiths, Iggy Pop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1597416241740-FHH59TE070RDPWE7288C/cramps.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #8: Mixtape Issue, Side B: The Cramps, Joy Division, The Smiths, Iggy Pop - The Cramps The spooky, slinky mashup of rockabilly, punk and garage rock that the Cramps specialized in was truly special and never replicated.

The iconic image of a pulsar’s radio waves has become one of the most famous graphics in rock history, and has sold far more t-shirts than the band ever sold records. Their sound, a kind of post-punk / proto-goth rock built for dancing in dark rooms, influenced bands from The Cult to Interpol. Ian Curtis was part doom-and-gloom poet, part futuristic front man, leading the band through a brief but brilliant career. After Curtis’s suicide, the rest of the band would go on to form New Order (another huge influence on the folks behind the Beat). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1597416326792-KD2TKLYYPORSG9EMWMKU/smiths.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #8: Mixtape Issue, Side B: The Cramps, Joy Division, The Smiths, Iggy Pop - The Smiths Sadly, Morrissey has turned out to be a right-wing anti-immigration nut job, but there’s no denying that the 1980s were a decade of brilliance for him, Johnny Marr, and company. Morrissey’s striking voice and persona, combined with Marr’s guitar and the band’s propulsive, rainwater-clear sound made for some of the most important music of the time. With record titles like The Queen is Dead and Meat is Murder, a penchant for beautiful young men on their album covers, and their always provocative frontman, they were built to make headlines.

With the Stooges, he defined a sound that would spark punk. As a solo artist, he has been constantly inventive, flirting with glam, classic rock and punk. His mid-70s collaborations with David Bowie produced his classic first solo outings, Lust for Life and The Idiot. His 1993 outing American Caesar was like a shot of adrenaline to a flagging rock scene, and 2016’s collaboration with Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, Post Pop Depression proved that Iggy has always been, and always will be relevant. https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat7 monthly 0.5 2020-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1596810923596-XWLZVY8XH8ABOMFC9J7I/mixtapead.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #7: Mixtape Issue, Side A: Sonic Youth, The Clash, The Ramones, David Bowie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1596810847807-XZZMHZJFOZ0GNGP8BANX/sonic.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #7: Mixtape Issue, Side A: Sonic Youth, The Clash, The Ramones, David Bowie - Sonic Youth In 1990, the Beat’s Greg Chinn was studying at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena when Sonic Youth’s Goo album hit the airwaves.

Anyway, the record kicked Clay in the gut with its ethos, sound, swagger and wide-ranging genre experimentation. As it was for many others, Combat Rock was the gateway drug to London Calling, and that was that.

In ’58, the company changed it to Frisbee to honor the originator, William Frisbie, who unintentionally invented the toy when university students turned the pie tins from his popular Frisbie Pie Company into flying toys, shouting “Frisbie!” as they threw them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1596205078003-Q97D73IO13WL65RJVLU8/Screen+Shot+2020-07-31+at+9.15.11+AM.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #6: Storm King, Frisbee, Agua Fresca, Serge Mouille Lighting - Agua Fresca From fruit to rice to flowers, there’s an agua fresca that will perfect your summer experience. This seemingly infinite variety of fresh water drinks originated in Central America and Mexico (although horchata can be traced back ancient North Africa) and has grown increasingly popular internationally in recent years. The best agua fresca is made from scratch, and the best flavor is up to your taste. We love peach, tamarind, hibiscus, guava, mango and horchata — which is worthy of its own separate entry. Sweet or tart, creamy or bright, it’s sure to perk you up on a hot day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1596205160067-JRCDWJHM0DE5K3ETRT1B/Screen+Shot+2020-07-31+at+9.15.18+AM.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #6: Storm King, Frisbee, Agua Fresca, Serge Mouille Lighting - Serge Mouille Lighting In 1935, when 13-year-old Serge Mouille disappointed his parents by enrolling in the School of Applied Arts’ silver workshop, none of them could imagine what the future held. By 1956, Mouille’s elegant lamps and light fixtures were displayed alongside work by Noguchi, Perriand and others in Steph Simons’ Paris design gallery. Their popularity soared to the point that actor Henry Fonda showed up on Mouille’s doorstep, demanding a custom lamp (which he eventually got). After a battle with tuberculosis and turning to teaching, Mouille stopped making his fixtures — which were never mass produced — in 1961. Coveted today, they embody the values and aesthetics of modern design. https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat5 monthly 0.5 2020-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1595602479144-27IXS8NT69XEILEUTHAC/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-07-24%2Bat%2B9.24.29%2BAM.jpg The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #5: Pool Floats, Bonsai, Natchez Trace Bridge, Japanese Snacks - Pool Floats Rocket pops, unicorns, flamingoes… oh my. Over recent summers, pool floats have become the surprise disruptor in the aquatic amusement industry (which I hope is a thing). From the exotic (light-up swans and angel wings) to the mundane (everything bagels, pretzels) to the odd (balloon animals, Starbucks drinks), there’s something for every swimmer. With Summer 2020 shaping up to be a challenge, these floats provide a little colorful joy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1595602548941-24TFRR1J4151Y3UDGCQG/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.24.35+AM.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #5: Pool Floats, Bonsai, Natchez Trace Bridge, Japanese Snacks - Bonsai This elegant, profoundly meditative practice dates back to the 6th century. This is an art that requires patience, humility and an eye for balance. With the ultimate goal to replicate fully grown trees in nature, bonsai practitioners use complex techniques to shape, prune and position trees artfully and soulfully. In my first year as a bonsai hobbyist, I’ve managed to kill five little trees, including a beloved juniper. It’s not for the impatient or faint of heart, but for those willing to pursue the craft, and for those who just like to admire the trees, it’s a thing of beauty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1595602718481-FLD09JWACDMVXL4MJRM9/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.24.42+AM.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #5: Pool Floats, Bonsai, Natchez Trace Bridge, Japanese Snacks - The Natchez Trace Bridge Just outside Nashville, Tenn., a double arch bridge spans Birdsong Hollow, connecting two sections of the Natchez Trace Parkway — a 444-mile scenic route from Nashville to Natchez, Miss. The bridge opened in 1994, and won multiple design awards and gained famed for being the first segmentally constructed concrete arch bridge in the U.S. The 1,500-foot long, 145-foot tall bridge has a complicated history. It rises from a lush valley like a sinuous sci-fi apparition. It’s somehow incongruous in the landscape and perfectly at home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1595602922666-J1AB2DTDJ9FWS7VPZH7F/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+9.24.48+AM.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #5: Pool Floats, Bonsai, Natchez Trace Bridge, Japanese Snacks - Japanese Snacks! Pocky, senbei, and bizarre Kit-Kat flavors. From traditional to faddish, Japanese snacks are a particular favorite of Greg and myself, and we both have memories of family excursions to 99 Ranch Market for Ramune, shrimp snacks and Hello Panda. Although you can find a host of Japanese treats online, even subscription services, we recommend visiting your local asian market and exploring a whole gorgeous, strange world of the fishy, the squishy and the unexpected. And I’m not even getting into the joys of daifuku and takoyaki. If you thought wasabi peas were exciting, wait till you have a cough drop flavored Kit Kat. https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat4 monthly 0.5 2020-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1595003352500-6R6ULBOPI2TBZ9D5VPPH/Screen+Shot+2020-07-17+at+11.28.08+AM.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #4: Constructivism, Slow Fashion, Shaka Sign & El Matador Beach - Constructivism In the early 2000s, I (Clay) had a band called Local 429 that was dedicated to smart working class songwriting ala Woody Guthrie. We adopted Soviet era Constructivist Art as our aesthetic — highly graphic and energetic, it immediately communicated what we were about… or so we hoped. Pioneered in the early 20th Century by Alexander Rodchenko and Vladimir Tatlin, Constructivism was influenced by a push for modernization and industry. Bold and austere, it went on to influene Bauhaus design and it spread into architecture, theatrical design and other disciplines. Aside from its founders, artists like El Lissitzky and Liubov Popova are major talents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1595003463320-62P770JT7P4W2CE880GS/Screen+Shot+2020-07-17+at+11.28.20+AM.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #4: Constructivism, Slow Fashion, Shaka Sign & El Matador Beach - Slow Fashion The dangers of fast fashion are widespread and real. Abysmal working conditions, human rights violations, corrupt supply chains and major negative ecological impact have made it clear that the obsession with cheap, disposable clothes is hurting us all. The Slow Fashion movement focuses on sustainability, longevity and corporate transparency. Once again, we can know who makes our clothes and where. Many companies share information about the factories where their clothes are made, and even the cost they pay and their markup. Care is given to quality, and people find themselves willing to pay a little more for a garment that will last a lot longer. Our closets may shrink, but the opportunity for a better life for workers around the world will grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1595003500515-O7SZ3MH6WJ0QUHVL85H0/Screen+Shot+2020-07-17+at+11.28.29+AM.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #4: Constructivism, Slow Fashion, Shaka Sign & El Matador Beach - The Shaka Sign The Beat illustrator and co-conspirator Greg Chinn is from Hawaii, so it may have only been a matter of time before the Shaka sign showed up here! Used to communicate a myriad of things, from “hang loose” to “thanks,” it’s become internationally recognized thanks to surfer culture. Although the word itself doesn’t have Hawaiian origins (experts think it comes from a Japanese name for the Buddha), it was popularized by used car salesman Lippy Espinda in the 1960s. All signs point to the hand gesture having a very Hawaiian origin. Legend has it that in the early 20th Century, a sugar mill worker named Hamana Kalili lost the three middle fingers of his hand to a pressing machine. That led to a career change. He became a train security guard, and to warn kids off the train he’d shout and wave his hand. The kids adopted the hand gesture as a sign to let others know the coast was clear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1595003544667-EHC2BXXOZPLEYI8E1ORA/Screen+Shot+2020-07-17+at+11.28.38+AM.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #4: Constructivism, Slow Fashion, Shaka Sign & El Matador Beach - El Matador Beach Not quite a secret beach (if it were, we wouldn’t be telling you, would we?), El Matador is one of three pocket beaches near Malibu. Rocky and gorgeous, it’s typically uncrowded thanks largely to an anonymous entrance and a long walk down cliffs to reach it. The beach has made appearances in movies, including The Notebook and True Romance, and it’s been the background of countless music videos and photo shoots. Natural arches, sea stacks and caves make this beach feel worlds away from the bustle of LA, but you can spend a day there and make it back in time for dinner. https://www.outervoice.net/the-beat/beat3 monthly 0.5 2020-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1594391819547-JQBPBPQE34YV4FOOWDO5/Rice.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #3: Rice, Letterpress Art, Blue Note Records and Succulents - Rice You’re thinking two things right now: 1) Rice? Huh? 2) Now I want rice. 3.5 billion people depend on some variation of this humble grain for more than 20% of their daily calories, and it has the potential to solve world hunger. For Americans who grew up on Minute Rice or Rice-a-roni it can be hard to understand that rice comes in a beautiful plethora of types, and that it’s prepared in as many beautiful ways. Whether its jasmine rice from Thailand, African rice from Nigeria or wild rice from North America, its story is ancient and its reach global. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1594391849916-GL9283XIHTQURKLOCY82/Letterpress.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #3: Rice, Letterpress Art, Blue Note Records and Succulents - Letterpress Art Over the past decade, the art of letterpress printing has seen an enormous resurgence, and we couldn’t be happier. The rise of the computer and the rapid digitization of graphic design democratized the field and created incredible innovations, but it also removed designers from the production process while digital printing also rose to usurp the humble letterpress. But it’s back and it’s beautiful. From Hatch Show Print’s traditional concert posters to Hammerpress in Kansas City, from Iceland’s Reykjavik Letterpress to Kikisoso in Germany, letterpress artists combine the practical with the sublime. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c8243b34118427afb6478/1594391902850-3W1MJQJSQZ5LS28YS8LA/Screen+Shot+2020-07-03+at+9.42.57+AM.png The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape - The Beat #3: Rice, Letterpress Art, Blue Note Records and Succulents - Blue Note Records With a history of releasing some of the best jazz of the last century, as well as the best record covers, Blue Note is an institution unto itself. Every important name in jazz put out a Blue Note release, including Cannonball Adderley, Art Blakey, Norah Jones, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Anita Baker and so many more. In 1956, the label hired artist Reid Miles and his graphic design, combined with Francis Wolff’s iconic photos, made Blue Note releases the most visually arresting records on the market, and created an aesthetic for an era and a genre.

The parades and spectacle we’ve grown accustomed to was replaced with online celebration and deeply personal moments. The pandemic and this political moment gave us all an opportunity to reflect and to remember the importance of Stonewall in the history of social justice and public uprising.

The Breuer Building in this week’s illustration is a New York landmark, home to the Whitney Museum of American Art from 1966 to 2014. It was designed by Bauhaus-trained architect Marcel Breuer and is bold, elemental, gorgeously simple example of the often maligned, and always controversial Brutalist aesthetic.

Hertz, founded the Yellow Cab Manufacturing Company to build cars for his Yellow Cab Company. It kicked off a cab war in Chicago … quite literally. They were used as tanks in street battles between rival cab companies. It also began the era of the iconic cab in the iconic color. Hertz’s yellow cab wasn’t the first or last taxi of that color, but it was the most iconic. The story goes that he read a University of Chicago study that found yellow to be the most visible color at greater distances. It’s certainly visible on a rainy night… as it goes speeding past.
