"bio": "Sasha Khokha is the host of \u003cem>The California Report's \u003c/em> weekly magazine program, which takes listeners on sound-rich excursions to meet the people that make the Golden State unique -- through audio documentaries and long-form stories. As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

Many artists coming to the Fruitvale appreciate the neighborhood's diversity -- including African-American, Vietnamese and Middle Eastern communities -- and lower housing prices compared to cities like San Francisco, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"San Francisco is impossible to pay rent, and here in Oakland it's more affordable,\" Sanchez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11217120\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11217120 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Makeshift memorials commemorating the victims of the Ghost Ship warehouse fire grew after news of the deadly incident broke out.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Makeshift memorials commemorating the victims of the Ghost Ship warehouse fire grew after news of the deadly incident. \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Local artist Favianna Rodriguez, who lives two blocks from the Ghost Ship, said artists have repurposed various warehouses and other old buildings from the Fruitvale's industrial past, particularly on the border with Alameda and along the BART train line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You see them, they are very frequent,\" said Rodriguez, co-founder of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastsideartsalliance.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Eastside Arts Alliance & Cultural Center\u003c/a> in the nearby San Antonio neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some arts collectives are well organized and engaged with the surrounding community, others remain more insular and functioning under the radar, Rodriguez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This institution in particular, the Ghost Ship, was not very engaged.

Maybe that’s why the album has such a spacious, unhurried feel to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"On the Ceiling\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/9zY77KOg6Zo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opener, “On the Ceiling,” sets the chill mood, with Jeff Babko’s oozing keyboard work adding to the gummy feel. Rather than building tunes from the groove up, Mayhall is all about texture and the slow burn. One of my favorite tunes is the power ballad “Dum Dum,” which adds New York tenor saxophonist Chris Speed into the mix, whose simmering horn part never comes close to boiling over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are so many drummer-led ensembles making interesting music these days it’s silly to say an album doesn’t sound like a drummer-led project, but Mayhall shines a generous spotlight on his collaborators, particularly Parker, who delivers some of his most beautiful and mysterious guitar work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farewell to Oliveros\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, I wanted to bid farewell to a brilliant sonic explorer who spent many years in California. \u003ca href=\"http://paulineoliveros.us\">Pauline Oliveros\u003c/a>, the composer, tape music pioneer and founder of deep listening, died on Nov. 24 at the age of 84.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From her work as a founder of the San Francisco Tape Music Center in the early 1960s through to her teaching at UC San Diego and Mills College, she influenced countless musicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her primary instrument was the accordion, and she taught several generations of musicians new ways of being and playing together, a practice she called (with her puckish sense of humor, since the name came to her while recording in an underground cistern) “deep listening.” Thank you Pauline, for all the music and all the wisdom.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He’s seen bands like Citizen Fish and amateur wrestling events like Hoodslam at these underground spaces. Townley wants them to stay around, and he says cities like Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco will need laws like \u003ca href=\"http://nyclofttenants.org/loft-law-101/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York City’s 2010 Loft Law\u003c/a> in order for that to happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to stop people from being afraid of code enforcement, afraid of fire marshals,” Townley said. “Right now it’s basically a quick jump from fire marshals visiting to an eviction, and that’s incredibly scary because it’s impossible to find affordable places.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed law is scheduled to be discussed at a meeting of Berkeley’s 4×4 Committee on Monday, Dec. 12 at 10 am.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both San Francisco and Oakland are former industrial hubs, and the glut of commercial properties left over from the manufacturing heyday has provided large, inexpensive spaces to enterprising artists. Some of these creative complexes, like Developing Environments in San Francisco, which has been around since the late 1960s, managed to avoid being shut down by market forces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12451244\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/12451243-thumb-800x529.jpg\" alt=\"A view inside the Ghost Ship warehouse.\" width=\"800\" height=\"529\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12451244\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/12451243-thumb-800x529.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/12451243-thumb-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/12451243-thumb-768x508.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/12451243-thumb.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/12451243-thumb-240x159.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/12451243-thumb-375x248.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/12451243-thumb-520x344.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A view inside the Ghost Ship warehouse. \u003ccite>(Photo: Via Satya Yuga Facebook Page)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But even the short-lived collectives still managed to act as creative catalysts. In the early 1970s, avant weirdos the Residents rented an old print shop on Sycamore Street in San Francisco, in which they set up a recording studio. The group recorded some of their most celebrated albums at that location (\u003ci>Third Reich and Roll,\u003c/i> \u003ci>Fingerprince\u003c/i>) and filmed their first music videos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1980s, a collective of artists and punks, including hardcore legends MDC, worked together to turn the massive beer vats in the old Hamm’s Brewery on Bryant Street in San Francisco’s Mission into rooms where bands could practice and struggling artists could live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was at an age of 22, 23, 24,” MDC singer Dave Dictor says. “I’d moved here from Austin, Texas with my band, and we wanted to focus on our art, you know, 70 hours a week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The steel tanks in the former brewery were lined with a rubber coating and otherwise completely empty. Once they were wired for electricity, bands and artists could use them for any kind of creative pursuit, or simply to bed down for the night. While staying in the Vats, MDC developed the songs that would make up their \u003cem>Multi-Death Corporations\u003c/em> EP. That release saw the band pushing its technical abilities to play at breakneck speeds, as well as address much larger political topics, such as the impact of unrestrained capitalism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8yFTnKujXI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are many other stories of Bay Area alternative spaces that enabled bands to take their music to the next level, such as the Oakland hardcore band Neurosis, which morphed into the tribal-tinged doom metal juggernaut while the members lived at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cvltnation.com/cvlt-nation-interviews-scott-kelly-of-neurosis/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Method warehouse in Emeryville\u003c/a> during the late ’80s and early ’90s. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the Oakland warehouse fire, landlords were looking for opportunities to shut down underground arts spaces. In the wake of last weekend’s devastating blaze, artists’ fear of eviction from these venues seems even more real.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent months, landlods have already shut down long-running DIY venues such as Sugar Mountain, \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/an-open-letter-to-our-community-from-the-former-residents-of-the-recently-closed-lobot-gallery-in-west-oakland/Content?oid=5053320\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lobot Gallery,\u003c/a> and the Creamery, later called Ghost Town, which came into existence in 1999 when then-Mayor Jerry Brown was calling for \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/a-portrait-of-the-artist-as-a-young-landlord/Content?oid=1069821\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">artists to come to Oakland\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghost Town was \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/05/31/oakland-ghost-town-gallery-becomes-a-ghost-town/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shut down earlier this year \u003c/a>after the landlord evicted its dozen-or-so tenants. The inhabitants battled the owner in court and lost; the judge said they needed to be removed so the facility could be brought up to code.

In the early 1970s, avant weirdos the Residents rented an old print shop on Sycamore Street in San Francisco, in which they set up a recording studio. The group recorded some of their most celebrated albums at that location (\u003ci>Third Reich and Roll,\u003c/i> \u003ci>Fingerprince\u003c/i>) and filmed their first music videos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1980s, a collective of artists and punks, including hardcore legends MDC, worked together to turn the massive beer vats in the old Hamm’s Brewery on Bryant Street in San Francisco’s Mission into rooms where bands could practice and struggling artists could live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was at an age of 22, 23, 24,” MDC singer Dave Dictor says. “I’d moved here from Austin, Texas with my band, and we wanted to focus on our art, you know, 70 hours a week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The steel tanks in the former brewery were lined with a rubber coating and otherwise completely empty. Once they were wired for electricity, bands and artists could use them for any kind of creative pursuit, or simply to bed down for the night. While staying in the Vats, MDC developed the songs that would make up their \u003cem>Multi-Death Corporations\u003c/em> EP. That release saw the band pushing its technical abilities to play at breakneck speeds, as well as address much larger political topics, such as the impact of unrestrained capitalism.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/o8yFTnKujXI'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/o8yFTnKujXI'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>There are many other stories of Bay Area alternative spaces that enabled bands to take their music to the next level, such as the Oakland hardcore band Neurosis, which morphed into the tribal-tinged doom metal juggernaut while the members lived at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cvltnation.com/cvlt-nation-interviews-scott-kelly-of-neurosis/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Method warehouse in Emeryville\u003c/a> during the late ’80s and early ’90s. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the Oakland warehouse fire, landlords were looking for opportunities to shut down underground arts spaces.
