It’s been ages since we’ve had a Chicavo meetup, and what better time to have one than in the (likely) freezing wasteland of February? As problematic as Dan Savage can be, the HUMP film festival is always a good time. HUMP is a festival of homemade porn and erotica. The short films are ONLY shown at these screenings so you’d be part of a small group having the privilege of viewing them. The screening is 90 minutes long and always varies from uproariously funny to disturbing to just downright interesting. We will go to the Saturday, Feb 17th 7pm screening … Continue reading Chicavo Meetup – Feb 17th 2018

How’s THAT for a clickbait title? Trigger warning going forward for discussion of rape. So Danny Masterson is accused of raping several women, apparently using a friend who dates those women to help entrap them. I won’t go into too many details here, but here’s a recent article about it with links to more details: http://www.pajiba.com/celebrities_are_better_than_you/danny-mastersons-alleged-victims-are-speaking-up-netflix-continues-to-do-nothing.php It’s a horrific crime and he is a horrific person. Hopefully, legal consequences will follow for him. However, it is baffling to many of us that Netflix continues to do nothing. They quickly let go of Kevin Spacey, yet a serial rapist is still … Continue reading Netflix is paying a serial rapist. Here’s how to complain.

Love and Radio: 44 Years – This episode is an interview with a man who was unjustly kept in solitary confinement for decades. Decades. I know a lot of people can’t believe this is a thing that happens here, but it does, and it’s important to know these stories. Here Be Monsters: Are You Sure You’re Awake – Holy crap this is a terrifying description of night terrors and narcolepsy. I had no idea what it was like for some people. Still Buffering: How to Sexism – Lord, it’s depressing how much Rileigh is already used to sexism when she’s … Continue reading Pod People 11.13.17

When I start this you’re gonna wonder what on earth it has to do with Vampire Weekend. It’s connected, I promise! I grew up a Jehovah’s Witness, and I was a true believer: I tried to convert my friends and would cry when I couldn’t because I knew they wouldn’t be in “paradise on earth” with me, I would feel guilty if I got the national anthem stuck in my head because it was “worldly”, and I planned on getting baptized. When I was 14, I became an atheist in two of the most cliche ways imaginable: I read some … Continue reading Artist Spotlight: Vampire Weekend
I first heard Band of Horses when watching, of all things, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. The movie, which is actually relatively charming by the way (and cowritten by one of the best modern YA writers, David Levithan), uses the song Our Swords. I instantly fell deeply in love with the band and with Ben Bridwell’s unique, clear voice. The music itself fits right into the indie rock/southern rock genre, with songs ranging from melancholy and mournful to twangy and rollicking. A unique feature of the band for me is that there is one song on every album of theirs … Continue reading Artist Spotlight: Band of Horses – The General Specific As to Why Band of Horses is So Great
