It was the first blues album in almost three decades released by \u003ca href=\"http://www.arhoolie.com/\">Arhoolie Records\u003c/a>, the storied East Bay roots label whose founder, Chris Strachwitz, is the subject of the fantastic new documentary \"\u003ca href=\"http://nomousemusic.com/\">This Ain't No Mouse Music\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Modern Sounds of Ancient Juju\" makes it even more clear why Strachwitz, who recorded classic albums by the likes of Lightnin’ Hopkins, Mance Lipscomb, and Fred McDowell, was struck by the band’s juke joint grooves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the album’s fun is the way it mixes vintage tunes by long departed blues legends with HowellDevine originals, like a spooky version of Sonny Boy Williamson II’s “She Brought Life Back to the Dead” followed by Howell’s cool dismissal “Let You Go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howell learned the blues ropes as a teenager in the early 1990s sitting in at Oakland joints like Eli’s Mile High Club. After earning a degree in philosophy from UC Santa Cruz, he went on to apprentice with Arkansas-born country blues master \u003ca href=\"http://orleansrecords.com/artists/robert-lowery/\">Robert Lowery\u003c/a>, who had settled in the Monterey Bay area back in the '50s. Devine got his start in the late '80s with Bo Grumpus, a band with a vast repertoire of rags, stomps, marches, and early jazz numbers. More recently he’s played jump blues with Lavay Smith’s Red Hot Skillet Lickers, Gypsy jazz with Gaucho, and led his own jug band.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and Howell met about four years ago playing at a Mission District club, and ever since, they’ve been honing a sound that brings the blues back to the front porch. \"Modern Sounds of Ancient Juju\" closes with “Railroad Stomp,” a smokin’ original recorded live at The Baltic in Pt. Richmond. The tune powerfully evokes the trains that played such a big role in the music’s journey from rural landscapes to urban settings, a migration that led to the eclipse of the country blues that HowellDevine plays so well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[bandcamp width=100% height=120 album=730800393 size=large bgcol=ffffff linkcol=0687f5 tracklist=false artwork=small]\u003c/p>\n\n",

After earning a degree in philosophy from UC Santa Cruz, he went on to apprentice with Arkansas-born country blues master \u003ca href=\"http://orleansrecords.com/artists/robert-lowery/\">Robert Lowery\u003c/a>, who had settled in the Monterey Bay area back in the '50s. Devine got his start in the late '80s with Bo Grumpus, a band with a vast repertoire of rags, stomps, marches, and early jazz numbers. More recently he’s played jump blues with Lavay Smith’s Red Hot Skillet Lickers, Gypsy jazz with Gaucho, and led his own jug band.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and Howell met about four years ago playing at a Mission District club, and ever since, they’ve been honing a sound that brings the blues back to the front porch. \"Modern Sounds of Ancient Juju\" closes with “Railroad Stomp,” a smokin’ original recorded live at The Baltic in Pt. Richmond. The tune powerfully evokes the trains that played such a big role in the music’s journey from rural landscapes to urban settings, a migration that led to the eclipse of the country blues that HowellDevine plays so well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[bandcamp width=100% height=120 album=730800393 size=large bgcol=ffffff linkcol=0687f5 tracklist=false artwork=small]\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>Last week San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a nonprofit focused on defending civil liberties in the digital domain, hosted its annual Pioneer Awards to recognize leaders who are “extending freedom and innovation in the realm of information technology.” Many key figures in digital enterprise have been recognized, including late digital rights activist Aaron Swartz and journalists Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras. This year’s winners include Guatemalan labor and human rights lawyer Frank La Rue, U. S. Representative Zoe Lofgren, as well as artist Trevor Paglen. It is the first time a visual artist has received the award and it signifies a cultural shift in recognizing the importance of artists in defending civil liberties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On hand to deliver the keynote were Jacques Servin and Igor Vamos, artists and culture jammers otherwise known as The Yes Men, widely recognized for employing tactical media to draw greater attention to important issues, often by disseminating false information via the press to complicate discussions around social politics and environmental concerns. In 2009 they spoofed the U. S. Chamber of Commerce and announced an about-face on climate change — it was widely reported as legitimate news by CNN and Fox News, among other media outlets, before it was revealed to be a hoax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within a matter of weeks, the Chamber announced a change in policy, while denying any influence of The Yes Men’s stunt. It later also launched a protracted lawsuit against The Yes Men, who were defended by EFF until the suit was dropped in 2013. During the keynote, Servin said of the lawsuit, “It was nerve wracking, but the EFF is excited about this kind of thing. They are one of the very few organizations in the world who put themselves out there and advance the cause of law.” In conclusion, Servin and Vamos announced the recent launch of \u003ca href=\"https://actionswitchboard.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Action Switchboard\u003c/a>, an online platform to cultivate action by linking creative activists with a network of support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10143554\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/10/paglengetsaward.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/10/paglengetsaward.jpg\" alt=\"Trevor Paglen receives EFF Pioneer Award; Photo courtesy Alex Schoenfeldt\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10143554\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/10/paglengetsaward.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/10/paglengetsaward-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trevor Paglen receives EFF Pioneer Award; Photo courtesy Alex Schoenfeldt\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the address that preceded Paglen’s award, EFF senior designer Hugh D’Andrade talked about the challenge to describe the artist’s practice.

This year’s winners include Guatemalan labor and human rights lawyer Frank La Rue, U. S. Representative Zoe Lofgren, as well as artist Trevor Paglen. It is the first time a visual artist has received the award and it signifies a cultural shift in recognizing the importance of artists in defending civil liberties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On hand to deliver the keynote were Jacques Servin and Igor Vamos, artists and culture jammers otherwise known as The Yes Men, widely recognized for employing tactical media to draw greater attention to important issues, often by disseminating false information via the press to complicate discussions around social politics and environmental concerns. In 2009 they spoofed the U. S. Chamber of Commerce and announced an about-face on climate change — it was widely reported as legitimate news by CNN and Fox News, among other media outlets, before it was revealed to be a hoax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within a matter of weeks, the Chamber announced a change in policy, while denying any influence of The Yes Men’s stunt. It later also launched a protracted lawsuit against The Yes Men, who were defended by EFF until the suit was dropped in 2013. During the keynote, Servin said of the lawsuit, “It was nerve wracking, but the EFF is excited about this kind of thing.

They're called thru-hikers, and they started the trail in Mexico and will traverse 2,650 miles. Now, the lazy among us might have just read \"Wild,\" Cheryl Strayed's memoir about the Pacific Crest Trail. The even lazier among us may be waiting for the movie to come out in December. The hikers who actually make this trek see toenails fall off and their feet can swell whole shoe sizes. They say the only thing they talk about more than their feet is food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After hiking 1,000-miles of their journey, food is what Silicon Valley engineer Hank Magnuski will have waiting for them. Once or twice a year, he sets up the Sonora Pass Cafe, a pop-up feast he provides at no cost for those hiking past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shopping at a Costco, Hank Magnuski picks up five packs of chocolate chip cookies and eyes a chocolate cake that's 7 inches high, a foot across, and covered with icing and shaved chocolate flakes. \"I can go through a cake like this in about a day,\" he laughs. He heads to the fruit section, piling packages of cherries, apricots and bananas into his cart. \"Bananas have a lot of nutrients. It's a favorite hiker food.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">If you Google Magnuski, you'll learn that he's kind of a big deal in telecommunications, but that's not going to matter to the people he's shopping for. After he leaves, he'll head out to the Pacific Crest Trail -- known as the PCT -- and wait for a herd of hikers.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They won't know about his Silicon Valley life.

It's deep wilderness. Within a 300-mile stretch, there's only one road -- Yosemite's Highway 120 -- that crosses the PCT. For a week, hikers scale a steep pass every day, with some peaks as high as 14,000 feet. They hike past lakes, dip into deep canyons and pass by granite cliffs, in wilderness areas with famous names, like Emigrant, Yosemite and John Muir. They face swarms of mosquitoes, unpredictable weather and snow, even in this drought year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">One hiker is Shannon Pepper -- trail name Pan -- from Missoula, Montana. The recent college graduate sings to lift her spirits on the trail. Pan says hikers typically leave the trail every five days or so to shower and restock their food. It's mostly dried and dehydrated to keep their packs light. \"When you're on trail and you're carrying all your own meals, it can get really scary when you are close to being out,\" Pepper says. \"I feel like I have a little better perspective on what it really means to be hungry. We live in a society of plenty, and there isn't plenty when you have to carry all of it.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">\"They’re doing 25 miles a day. It’s like a marathon every single day for six months. Trail magic helps alleviate the pain.\"\u003ccite>Hank Magnuski\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">Plenty is exactly what Pan finds, when she walks into a picnic area where Hank Magnuski is waiting with a table full of all that food from Costco. As every hiker approaches, he says, \"I'm The Owl. I'm your host here, help yourself.\" \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">This is the Sonora Pass Cafe. Magnuski sets it up when he knows there will be a lot of PCT traffic. In the three days he's here this time, 50 hikers come through, with trail names like Gottawalk, Pesky, Laugh Track and Park. None of them expected this. Laugh Track is too distracted to talk to a reporter. \"Oh, I just got a cookie with a cherry on top. Magic!\" She and friends take selfies with the signature Sonora Pass Cookie. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">Pesky says, \"There's a chocolate cake you can't even imagine on the trail.\" Pan can't get over the high-quality beer or the Wi-Fi that Magnuski set up. \"Currently I'm blogging,\" she says, incredulously. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">Magnuski lays out china and bowls of fruit on a tablecloth. He arranges camping chairs and newspapers. On a nearby tree, he hangs a dartboard he calls \"Hikers Revenge,\" with a picture of a mosquito in the middle.

All right, I'm going to stick it to you for sticking it to me!\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">Magnuski doesn't say much, but smiles broadly as he brews gourmet coffee on a portable stove. \"The PCT folks, they're doing 25 miles a day.

They're called thru-hikers, and they started the trail in Mexico and will traverse 2,650 miles. Now, the lazy among us might have just read \"Wild,\" Cheryl Strayed's memoir about the Pacific Crest Trail. The even lazier among us may be waiting for the movie to come out in December. The hikers who actually make this trek see toenails fall off and their feet can swell whole shoe sizes. They say the only thing they talk about more than their feet is food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After hiking 1,000-miles of their journey, food is what Silicon Valley engineer Hank Magnuski will have waiting for them. Once or twice a year, he sets up the Sonora Pass Cafe, a pop-up feast he provides at no cost for those hiking past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shopping at a Costco, Hank Magnuski picks up five packs of chocolate chip cookies and eyes a chocolate cake that's 7 inches high, a foot across, and covered with icing and shaved chocolate flakes. \"I can go through a cake like this in about a day,\" he laughs. He heads to the fruit section, piling packages of cherries, apricots and bananas into his cart. \"Bananas have a lot of nutrients. It's a favorite hiker food.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">If you Google Magnuski, you'll learn that he's kind of a big deal in telecommunications, but that's not going to matter to the people he's shopping for. After he leaves, he'll head out to the Pacific Crest Trail -- known as the PCT -- and wait for a herd of hikers.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(Lisa Morehouse/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While Magnuski shops, unsuspecting hikers trek a really beautiful but tough patch of the PCT south of the Sonora Pass. It's deep wilderness. Within a 300-mile stretch, there's only one road -- Yosemite's Highway 120 -- that crosses the PCT. For a week, hikers scale a steep pass every day, with some peaks as high as 14,000 feet. They hike past lakes, dip into deep canyons and pass by granite cliffs, in wilderness areas with famous names, like Emigrant, Yosemite and John Muir. They face swarms of mosquitoes, unpredictable weather and snow, even in this drought year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">One hiker is Shannon Pepper -- trail name Pan -- from Missoula, Montana. The recent college graduate sings to lift her spirits on the trail. Pan says hikers typically leave the trail every five days or so to shower and restock their food. It's mostly dried and dehydrated to keep their packs light. \"When you're on trail and you're carrying all your own meals, it can get really scary when you are close to being out,\" Pepper says. \"I feel like I have a little better perspective on what it really means to be hungry. We live in a society of plenty, and there isn't plenty when you have to carry all of it.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">\"They’re doing 25 miles a day.

As every hiker approaches, he says, \"I'm The Owl. I'm your host here, help yourself.\" \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">This is the Sonora Pass Cafe.

But for the first time, with the song, “Compassion,” she sets one of his poems to music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s an intimate, moving tribute that both opens and provides the title for her new album, “Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller Williams is a strong proponent of economy of language. Over the years, Lucinda has embraced this paring of things down to the bone as her most immediately recognizable artistic trait — alongside her laconic, Southern-bred drawl. Often in the course of a song, she’ll craft one short phrase and repeat it over and over until it’s the very essence of emotion, as she does with the “spirit meets the bone” line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s what ties this album together, across a sprawling span of 20 songs. It’s a vast sweep of emotions, from the tenderness of “Compassion” to the tart anger of “Foolishness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone” is an ambitious statement, arguably the most so of Williams’ already considerable career. And in another first for her, there’s an array of guests helping out, which for some artists would seem a sign of insecurity but here comes off as underscoring a sense of confidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jakob Dylan joins her singing “It’s Gonna Rain,” at once hopeful and somber, the rain both a promise and a threat. The mixed emotions are further illustrated by the snaky lines of guest guitarist Bill Frisell darting around those of longtime Williams cohort Greg Leisz, who also served as co-producer for the album.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other guests include Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan and drummer Pete Thomas of Elvis Costello’s Attractions. And Williams enlists Tony Joe White to thread his distinctively swampy guitar through “West Memphis,” the real-life tale of a famously disputed murder case from the ‘90s. In her hands it becomes an epic, backwoods gothic song-story in the mode of Bobbie Gentry or Tony Joe White.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That Southern, swampy feel is also found in the gospel-soul chorus of “Protection” and the Stax-like horns on “One More Day,” while “Burning Bridges” would make a solid cover candidate for Tom Petty (a fan who has done Williams \"I Changed the Locks” in the past). And there’s the sultry menace of “Something Wicked This Way Comes.” And she concludes with another homage to a master of economy, covering “Magnolia” by JJ Cale, who died last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it’s all done, Williams has brought out the full range of country-folk-rock shadings she’s used in the past. And there’s at least one specific allusion to her catalog, as in the stern “Everything But the Truth” she tells a troubled friend to take charge of life — “you gotta settle up with this sweet old world” — citing her 1992 song “Sweet Old World,” a too-late note to a friend who’d committed suicide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference is key. Where “Sweet Old World” was a tender, sorrowful scolding of a lost spirit, this is a get-it-together admonishment meant to have impact before it’s too late. Similarly, “Bone” is not a passive look back, not a career summation. This is a career-\u003ci>defining\u003c/i> album in its scope and sweep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the center of “Bone” is that thin line between hope and dread. Several songs catalog complaints, troubles, heartaches — a “Big Mess,” as one song title puts it, explicitly. Ultimately, though, it’s hope that tips the scale, no more profoundly than in “When I Look at the World.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been unwelcome, I’ve been unloved,” she sings — but then she sees the world “in all its glory,” in a different way every time she looks at it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simply putting out a 20-song double album is a risky move, and for someone known for artistic economy, it's something that might seem an indulgent disconnect. Is every song a treasure? Of course not. But with her spirited reach, Lucinda Williams at 61 has made an album that stands with her best, a series of songs that ask \u003ci>us\u003c/i> to join her in looking at the world anew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More: \u003ca href=\"http://lucindawilliams.com/splash-page/\" target=\"_blank\">Lucinda WIlliams' Website\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Installation by a team of Ai’s assistants and local installers and volunteers has been a dizzyingly complex process. In addition to the fact that the artist can’t leave China, Alcatraz is both a bird sanctuary and a national historic site. That means, for example, that none of the walls can be disturbed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s actually the opposite of a museum,” said Greg Moore, head of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. “The lack of water on-site, the generated electrical power, no climate control — but it will be an amazing museum for this art work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To check on the progress of this unusual artwork, KQED visited the island recently.
