Because they are frustrated, they don’t feel heard and they don’t feel like their concerns are being taken into consideration or prioritized. This series gives us an opportunity to have our voices heard, to reach people who have either never thought about these issues as well as the folks who want to join the choir.

In Oakland, in Detroit, at Standing Rock, folks are creating a new vision of justice and radical ecology. We’re going to broadcast that vision, and we’re going to remind people that laughter and joy are a form of medicine, and that we all need to keep going, now more than ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Josh Healey with musician Boots Riley in a video about environmental justice:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BROTHER EARTH (with Boots Riley and Josh Healey)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/lQJm9-wwlsQ?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>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"Q.Logo.Break\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\n",

I remember people used to rock hella North Face gear and puff coats in the summer to stay true to the North Pole theme. Seriously, it was that deep. Sharing this piece of Oakland culture is important to me! I love that \u003cem>The North Pole\u003c/em> highlights what is happening right now in urban cities around the country while at the same time being able to put the magnifying glass over the environmental issues that have been devastating communities for generations.

The Muslim ban, the so-called wall, the reversal on Standing Rock and Keystone XL? It’s all bad. But I also know that horror and outrage will only get us so far. We also need joy. We need stories of hope and possibility, stories of rebellion and ridiculousness, stories that are bold, beautiful, and even make us laugh a little.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Amaya:\u003c/strong> I think with Trump’s election, it just gives us more to cover, more to touch on that the American people are starving for right now. People want to feel like someone is listening, like someone cares about what’s going on in their city, in their community, and in their lives. Why are people marching right now? Because they are frustrated, they don’t feel heard and they don’t feel like their concerns are being taken into consideration or prioritized. This series gives us an opportunity to have our voices heard, to reach people who have either never thought about these issues as well as the folks who want to join the choir. Art, comedy and media continue to be powerful tools and I’m hoping this series can be another force in uniting us in a positive way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12735387\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12735387 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-800x452.jpeg\" alt=\"On set during the making of 'The North Pole' at The Hub in Oakland.\" width=\"800\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-800x452.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-160x90.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-768x433.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-1020x576.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-1920x1084.jpeg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-1180x666.jpeg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-960x542.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-240x135.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-375x212.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-520x294.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866.jpeg 1986w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">On set during the making of ‘The North Pole’ at The Hub in Oakland. \u003ccite>(Photo: Chloe Veltman/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tell us about the process of making the series.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Healey:\u003c/strong> We held auditions for the four main characters, and were lucky to find the perfect actors for each role in Reyna, Donte Clark, Eli Marienthal and Santiago Rosas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We shot over 14 days last summer and fall.

Working with the Oakland-based environmental, labor and cultural activism non-profit Movement Generation, we’ll partner with groups fighting for racial justice, climate resilience, and working against displacement.

Here in North Oakland and up in the Arctic, the climate is changing — and the native species (Oakland natives here, polar bears there) is going extinct. But for us making this show, it’s not just a metaphor. This is our home. This is our environment. One of the things we want to challenge with the show is this idea that “climate activism” is just about stopping greenhouse gases or saving the whales. It’s really about changing the fundamental nature of this hyper-capitalist economy that is destroying environments across the globe. And that includes for poor people and people of color who are being pushed out of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12735388\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12735388\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-800x451.jpeg\" alt=\"A poster advertising the Greengos bioengineering firm, captured on set during a shoot for 'The North Pole'.\" width=\"800\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-800x451.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-160x90.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-768x433.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-1020x575.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-1920x1082.jpeg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-1180x665.jpeg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-960x541.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-240x135.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-375x211.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-520x293.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427.jpeg 2007w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A poster advertising the fictional Greengos bioengineering firm, captured on set during a shoot for ‘The North Pole.’ \u003ccite>(Photo: Chloe Veltman/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Both with gentrification and climate change, a lot of people throw up their hands and say, “What’s the point?

A lot of the issues we cover in the series are really tough and actually aren’t fictitious. People in real life are experiencing what these characters are going through right now in this country. The humor makes it all easy to digest and allows people to start to have some of these difficult conversations which is the first step in leading to change. Humor is an ice-breaker, a tolerance tickler, as well as a thinking activator — all key ingredients to sparking change. The first place you have to spark change is in the way people think.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12735389\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12735389\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808-800x450.jpeg\" alt=\"Donte Clark in a scene from 'The North Pole'.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808-800x450.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808-160x90.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808-768x432.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808-1020x573.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808-960x540.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808-240x135.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808-375x211.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808-520x292.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Donte Clark in a scene from ‘The North Pole.’ \u003ccite>(Photo: Danny Telles)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Healey:\u003c/strong> We live in the generation raised on Dave Chapelle and Jon Stewart as our most trusted names in news. Good comedy cuts through the bullsh-t. Laughter is contagious; exactly the type of positive energy we need right now. Most political art, especially art around climate change, is depressing as hell. “Look, here’s another part of the world that is dying. We’re all going to die soon! But hey, come get involved!” isn’t the type of inspiration that gets people out of bed in the morning, let alone join a movement. We’re here to change that. \u003cem>The North Pole\u003c/em> isn’t a traditional sitcom. This is a dramatic comedy with unapologetic progressive politics. We start off with the laughs. But the real punchline? It’ll make you want to do more than just laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How will you know that the project has succeeded?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Healey:\u003c/strong> Success for us means flipping the script on the false narratives that “we have to choose between good jobs or affordable housing”; that “people of color don’t care about the environment”; and that when it comes to threats like gentrification and global warming, “there is no alternative.” We know there is an alternative, and our communities are building it right here, right now. In Oakland, in Detroit, at Standing Rock, folks are creating a new vision of justice and radical ecology. We’re going to broadcast that vision, and we’re going to remind people that laughter and joy are a form of medicine, and that we all need to keep going, now more than ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Josh Healey with musician Boots Riley in a video about environmental justice:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BROTHER EARTH (with Boots Riley and Josh Healey)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/lQJm9-wwlsQ?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>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So this Valentine's Day, let's not be so terribly obvious and transform into Bridget Jones. There's really no reason you need to cry while eating chocolate and singing Celine Dion ballads in your underwear. You're cute and fun, and you should get out there and do cute and fun things!

An early champion of Charles Ives and the challenging twelve-tone compositions of Schoenberg, his own music evolved into a lush and melodic tapestry of influences, including Gamelan from Bali and Indonesia, Native American music and jazz. He was a pacifist and activist against nuclear war, a fan of Esperanto, a calligrapher, and an out gay man at a time when that was still a large risk. Conductor and pianist Dennis Russell Davies calls him a great craftsman. “He could write beautiful twelve-tone dissonant music, he was at home in a Renaissance style,” Davies said. “Lou was not only gifted but also very well educated as a musician and composer. And I miss him very much, he was a good friend, and I’ve never forgotten the lessons I learned.” A number of music organizations (including SF Symphony’s SoundBox, in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/12/10/review-brilliant-tribute-to-legendary-lou-harrison-kicks-off-san-francisco-symphony-soundbox-season/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">magnificent program\u003c/a> last month) have been celebrating Harrison, with Bay Area concerts through June.

An early champion of Charles Ives and the challenging twelve-tone compositions of Schoenberg, his own music evolved into a lush and melodic tapestry of influences, including Gamelan from Bali and Indonesia, Native American music and jazz. He was a pacifist and activist against nuclear war, a fan of Esperanto, a calligrapher, and an out gay man at a time when that was still a large risk. Conductor and pianist Dennis Russell Davies calls him a great craftsman. “He could write beautiful twelve-tone dissonant music, he was at home in a Renaissance style,” Davies said. “Lou was not only gifted but also very well educated as a musician and composer. And I miss him very much, he was a good friend, and I’ve never forgotten the lessons I learned.” A number of music organizations (including SF Symphony’s SoundBox, in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/12/10/review-brilliant-tribute-to-legendary-lou-harrison-kicks-off-san-francisco-symphony-soundbox-season/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">magnificent program\u003c/a> last month) have been celebrating Harrison, with Bay Area concerts through June.

Sometimes you wind up tromping around San Francisco in the pouring rain looking for a disco ball chained to a bench, just so you can hear Katy Perry's new mediocre single a day before the general public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new song, you see, which Katy is slated to perform at the Grammys this Sunday, is called \"Chained To the Rhythm.\" In a board room somewhere in New York or Los Angeles, a team of highly paid executives decided the best way to visually represent this motif in a low-cost, hashtag-friendly marketing gimmick format was to chain plastic disco balls with headphone jacks in them to benches around the world, then tell people to go find them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all sounded incredibly stupid. Of course I went.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/katyperry/status/829346621259288578\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you'll indulge a brief attempt at justification: This kind of marketing is interesting to me because it's at once a product of our times and incredibly old-timey. Remember when we lined up outside record stores to buy a new album the day it came out? You had to go to a physical location to consume the new music, and there you met other people who cared as much about that artist as you did. It was a collective experience. An \u003cem>event\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Events are harder to come by in the internet age, as evidenced by the fact that the most interesting way anyone's come up with to generate hype for an new album in the past few years is just \"not announcing it.\" Even with a lavishly executed multi-media rollout like \u003cem>Lemonade\u003c/em>, the consumer experience was first and foremost a solitary one -- we experienced it alone, behind different TV and computer screens, then texted our friends or went on Twitter to talk about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was different. It was participatory. Katy wanted me \u003ca href=\"http://chainedto.katyperry.com/\" target=\"_blank\">to look at a map\u003c/a>, then go find the disco ball -- at which point I would surely find a horde of Katy Perry fans. We'd take turns listening to the song, share thoughts about it, post on Twitter and Facebook and Instagram and Snapchat (thereby doing the viral marketing work for her), and go on our merry ways, secure in the knowledge that we were part of something special, something bigger than us -- a community. Real Katy Perry fans call themselves KatyCats, I believe? I'm too old to have ever identified by one of these \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_(fan)\" target=\"_blank\">pop star stan name things\u003c/a>, but I get it. And here was a chance to see firsthand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/IMG_4397.png\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-63323 aligncenter\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/IMG_4397.png\" alt=\"IMG_4397\" width=\"360\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/IMG_4397.png 360w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/IMG_4397-160x284.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/IMG_4397-240x427.png 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Except that it was pouring in San Francisco today. The interactive map showed the ball in Dolores Park, perched on a bench up near the southwest corner, looking down over the playground. So off I went, umbrella in hand, happily listening to \"Firework.\" I wondered what kind of Katy Perry fans I would meet, and whether or not we would be instant friends. I reached the top of the hill. The disco ball was nowhere to be found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I dutifully checked #ChainedToTheRhythm on Twitter. In other cities -- London, Paris, Tokyo -- the internet was spilling over with images and short videos of Katy Perry fans showing up, plugging in, and experiencing the previously aforementioned rhythm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/UniversalSE/status/829357662349426688\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for San Francisco: It seemed the ball had been here up until about 45 minutes earlier; there were several tweets with photos from happy, headphoned people with checkmarks next to their names (professional Katy Perry fans??) that showed I had indeed found the right bench. But all it bore now was this symbol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-8.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-63322\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-8-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"FullSizeRender (8)\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-8-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-8-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-8-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-8-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-8-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-8-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-8-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-8-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-8-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-8-520x390.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-8.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I had no idea what it meant. I checked the interactive map to see if the disco ball icon in San Francisco had moved. It hadn't. It started to rain harder. I sighed and headed for the office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, idly scrolling various Katy Perry-related areas of the internet as I walked, I found a tweet from a Katy Perry fan who had managed to hear the song just before the disco ball had mysteriously disappeared. \"They are taking it to the Castro fyi,\" read his missive -- a distant, 140-character message in a bottle. An Instagram post confirmed this, locating the ball more specifically near the Castro Theatre. A vision: all the Katy Perry fans partying in front of the theater, having fun, listening to \"Chained to the Rhythm\" just a mile away, without me. I turned around and headed for the Castro, full of renewed vigor for the comrades I'd yet to meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point I sent a text message to a few friends, just in case I was killed in a freak accident and no one could determine why I was walking around in the rain instead of at work at 11 on a Wednesday, an interactive map of Katy Perry-themed disco balls on record as the last thing I'd ever Googled. \"I'm walking around in the rain trying to find a disco ball that's playing the new Katy Perry single,\" I explained. No one seemed concerned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-7.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-63321\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-7.jpg\" alt=\"FullSizeRender (7)\" width=\"744\" height=\"696\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-7.jpg 744w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-7-160x150.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-7-240x225.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-7-375x351.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/FullSizeRender-7-520x486.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 744px) 100vw, 744px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I spotted it not long after rounding the corner of 17th and Market.

She explained apologetically that she had been at Dolores Park earlier, until an officer from San Francisco Rec and Park came by and asked if she had a permit. She did not. He directed her to unchain the rhythm, so to speak, and move on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So here she was outside Hot Cookie. She had called her boss to discuss the new location, but she certainly didn't know how to update the interactive map. So far only two people aside from me had found the rhythm as it was currently chained at its new location. Cory legitimately felt terrible about this. I tried to tell her it was no big deal. I refrained from telling her about all the new Katy Perry fan friends I was now never going to make. It wasn't her fault. I pressed on. I plugged in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is my review of what turned out to be only part of \"Chained to the Rhythm,\" as I heard it absolutely blasting on loop out of a plastic disco ball with no apparent volume control features in the middle of a downpour while balancing an umbrella with a record label intern taking pictures of me on Castro Street: \"Chained to the Rhythm\" sounds like if Lady Gaga's \"Alejandro\" and Sia's \"The Greatest\" and Rihanna's \"Don't Stop the Music\" had a baby, only worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/robynxkatheryn/status/829350562500067328\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's less a devil-may-care disco tune than an aggressive, bludgeony club banger. There's a hook, and it's energetic, but not exactly uplifting. Sia wrote it, so it has a bit of that ominous minor-chord edge that suggests \"you will dance to this for the next two years but also you're going to feel vaguely anxious every single time.\" With some help from the internet, the lyrics include the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>We wear those colored glasses on, and the party on\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Turn it up it's your favorite song\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Dance, dance, dance to the disco show\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Turn it up put it on repeat\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Stumbling around like a wasted song**\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Me?

Remember when we lined up outside record stores to buy a new album the day it came out? You had to go to a physical location to consume the new music, and there you met other people who cared as much about that artist as you did. It was a collective experience. An \u003cem>event\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Events are harder to come by in the internet age, as evidenced by the fact that the most interesting way anyone's come up with to generate hype for an new album in the past few years is just \"not announcing it.\" Even with a lavishly executed multi-media rollout like \u003cem>Lemonade\u003c/em>, the consumer experience was first and foremost a solitary one -- we experienced it alone, behind different TV and computer screens, then texted our friends or went on Twitter to talk about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was different. It was participatory. Katy wanted me \u003ca href=\"http://chainedto.katyperry.com/\" target=\"_blank\">to look at a map\u003c/a>, then go find the disco ball -- at which point I would surely find a horde of Katy Perry fans. We'd take turns listening to the song, share thoughts about it, post on Twitter and Facebook and Instagram and Snapchat (thereby doing the viral marketing work for her), and go on our merry ways, secure in the knowledge that we were part of something special, something bigger than us -- a community. Real Katy Perry fans call themselves KatyCats, I believe? I'm too old to have ever identified by one of these \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_(fan)\" target=\"_blank\">pop star stan name things\u003c/a>, but I get it. And here was a chance to see firsthand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/IMG_4397.png\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-63323 aligncenter\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/IMG_4397.png\" alt=\"IMG_4397\" width=\"360\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/IMG_4397.png 360w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/IMG_4397-160x284.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/IMG_4397-240x427.png 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Except that it was pouring in San Francisco today. The interactive map showed the ball in Dolores Park, perched on a bench up near the southwest corner, looking down over the playground. So off I went, umbrella in hand, happily listening to \"Firework.\" I wondered what kind of Katy Perry fans I would meet, and whether or not we would be instant friends. I reached the top of the hill. The disco ball was nowhere to be found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I dutifully checked #ChainedToTheRhythm on Twitter. In other cities -- London, Paris, Tokyo -- the internet was spilling over with images and short videos of Katy Perry fans showing up, plugging in, and experiencing the previously aforementioned rhythm.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I checked the interactive map to see if the disco ball icon in San Francisco had moved. It hadn't. It started to rain harder. I sighed and headed for the office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, idly scrolling various Katy Perry-related areas of the internet as I walked, I found a tweet from a Katy Perry fan who had managed to hear the song just before the disco ball had mysteriously disappeared. \"They are taking it to the Castro fyi,\" read his missive -- a distant, 140-character message in a bottle. An Instagram post confirmed this, locating the ball more specifically near the Castro Theatre. A vision: all the Katy Perry fans partying in front of the theater, having fun, listening to \"Chained to the Rhythm\" just a mile away, without me. I turned around and headed for the Castro, full of renewed vigor for the comrades I'd yet to meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point I sent a text message to a few friends, just in case I was killed in a freak accident and no one could determine why I was walking around in the rain instead of at work at 11 on a Wednesday, an interactive map of Katy Perry-themed disco balls on record as the last thing I'd ever Googled. \"I'm walking around in the rain trying to find a disco ball that's playing the new Katy Perry single,\" I explained.

She explained apologetically that she had been at Dolores Park earlier, until an officer from San Francisco Rec and Park came by and asked if she had a permit. She did not. He directed her to unchain the rhythm, so to speak, and move on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So here she was outside Hot Cookie. She had called her boss to discuss the new location, but she certainly didn't know how to update the interactive map. So far only two people aside from me had found the rhythm as it was currently chained at its new location. Cory legitimately felt terrible about this. I tried to tell her it was no big deal. I refrained from telling her about all the new Katy Perry fan friends I was now never going to make. It wasn't her fault. I pressed on. I plugged in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is my review of what turned out to be only part of \"Chained to the Rhythm,\" as I heard it absolutely blasting on loop out of a plastic disco ball with no apparent volume control features in the middle of a downpour while balancing an umbrella with a record label intern taking pictures of me on Castro Street: \"Chained to the Rhythm\" sounds like if Lady Gaga's \"Alejandro\" and Sia's \"The Greatest\" and Rihanna's \"Don't Stop the Music\" had a baby, only worse.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
