But then the Internets happened and people started to sell old VHS copies on eBay and the world bore witness to the horror that is four wookiees grunting at each other with no subtitles. And that’s just the first 15 minutes. Stick around and watch Bea Arthur do standup, Carrie Fisher sing, and Chewbacca’s father enjoy virtual reality wookiee porn. I’m not joking. People really made this. It exists and no list of worst Christmas anything can be complete without it. Like the Grand Canyon, it has to be seen to be believed.\u003c/p>\n\n",

No way could that be true. But then the Internets happened and people started to sell old VHS copies on eBay and the world bore witness to the horror that is four wookiees grunting at each other with no subtitles. And that’s just the first 15 minutes. Stick around and watch Bea Arthur do standup, Carrie Fisher sing, and Chewbacca’s father enjoy virtual reality wookiee porn. I’m not joking. People really made this. It exists and no list of worst Christmas anything can be complete without it. Like the Grand Canyon, it has to be seen to be believed.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He should not be made a scapegoat,” said attorneys Tony Serra, Jeffrey Krasnoff and Kyndra Miller in a joint statement.

Well, Bond has a secret identity, and Magik*Magik is the secret identity of one Minna Choi, a.k.a. Magik*Magik, also the name of the Bay Area orchestra Choi, the Berkeley-born daughter of Korean immigrants, founded about eight years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SsrpAtpllk\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leading the orchestra, she’s collaborated with artists ranging from Death Cab for Cutie and Weezer to Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood and Narada Michael Walden, as well as serving as the house orchestra of producer John Vanderslice’s Tiny Telephone studios. Now with the first album in her own right (if not her own name), she is a moving target in terms of artistic focus, sliding across a spectrum of moods and sounds, from the somber, slow, cinematic melancholy of “Weep” and “Treacherous Road” to the glitchy electronic blips of “Sting Operation” to the bubbly pop of “Life of the Party.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not the orchestra part that becomes the link — though it’s there, even mixing with the electronics — but rather he strong, naturally expressive voice. But the other thread is the naturalness with which she moves between styles, not willfully eclectic, but joyfully free. A bee in a field of colorful flowers, a foodie at a vast buffet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arguably, looking over some of the year’s top artists, the shared sensibilities, such as they are, start with individual and collective multiculturalism: Paak, from Oxnard, is African-American and Korean. The Gaslamp Killer (William Bensussen) is Jewish of Turkish, Lebanese, Mexican and Lithuanian heritage. Thao Nguyen, Vietnamese-American, was born and raised in Virginia, where she played in a pop-country duo in high school. Gaby Moreno, who incidentally co-wrote the “Parks and Recreation” theme instrumental, was born in Guatemala and lives in Los Angeles, but also has Nashville connections. All have cultural roots and identification, but reach well beyond them, not calculatingly, but naturally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.thaoandthegetdownstaydown.com/\">Thao and the Get Down Stay Down\u003c/a>’s “A Man Alive,” a collaboration with her friend Merrill Garbus of the always-shifting\u003ca href=\"http://tune-yards.com/\"> \u003cspan class=\"st\">tUnE-yArDs\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, was called by many a “departure” from her activist folk-rock as she examined her feelings about her absentee father in settings that maybe sounded closer to Prince than to Pete Seeger. But it seems really more an expansion, an evolution, not a break from anything — though in some ways the musical changes drew attention first to the point that the emotional depth of the album was somewhat overlooked when we discussed the album upon its release earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Further listens have revealed how fully the range of sounds and styles ties to Nguyen’s personal explorations, largely dealing with her family having been abandoned by her father when she was very young and the difficulties for her, growing into adulthood, grappling with that absence. That an album can reveal more and more on repeated listenings is testimony to its depth and strengths, the power of the revelation, a further extension and expansion of the art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37yrktde6m0&app=desktop\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gaby Moreno’s “Illusión,” nominated for Best Latin Alternative album, is basically Memphis soul en Español (for the most part). Opening song “Se Apagó” starts with a lick that could have been from “Dusty in Memphis.” Though even here there’s more doing on, with “Fronteras” carrying a bit more country and “La Malaguena,” a showcase for her full vocal powers, she draws on Mexican traditions. She’s called her style “Spanglish folk-soul,” but that just tells us that even she has trouble pinning it down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wquNdx68olM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coverage of Anderson.Paak’s nomination for the Best New Artist Grammy this month often saw him called a rapper.

In post-World War II America, flying saucers entered popular culture. Some said that peaceful aliens were concerned about the Earth’s use of atomic bombs and their effect on the galaxy. Others believed the aliens were a mortal threat to all of mankind. It was in this atmosphere that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.unarius.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unarius Academy of Science\u003c/a> was born. The Unarians believed the former, by the way.

On many of the planets they match the hair color to the dresses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, there’s probably a certain question in your mind. Is this whole thing a cult? You would be wrong, says Calvert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not here to convert, it’s not a cult. Religion could be considered more of a cult than we are. This is a spiritual school, a nonprofit educational foundation. Unarius gets into so many things. It’s a science but it’s an interdimensional science. It’s outside the box.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Far beyond the box is the group’s long-held prophecy of an interstellar palace of learning that will last for eternity. It’ll be erected by aliens on 67 acres of scrubland purchased by Uriel in the 1970s, a few miles from El Cajon. The Unarians ritually visit the site during every Conclave to look to the skies and wait.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their belief is that 33 starships made of crystal and gold will arrive from 33 planets, landing one on top of the other, stacking into the sky like a towering, cosmic wedding cake. Each ship will carry 1,000 professorial beings, each specializing in some form of the arts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And it basically will become a university for the earth world,” says Nick Sawyer, “more advanced than any university that we presently have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unarius may not be a cult, but it has a cult following. In recent years, their staggering canon of films, TV shows, costumes and music including the Unarius choir, And the Angels Sing — have gained unironic attention from artists and alt-culture fans in their 20s and 30s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Writer Jeff Gauntt and actress Julianne Tura fit into that demographic. They’ve driven down from Los Angeles, curious about the Conclave. After witnessing an entire weekend of all things Unarius — crowned by the channeled communication with Space Brother Kuthumi — they are impressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t want to be cynical enough to analyze it, I just want to sort of experience it on the level that they’re presenting it,” says Gauntt. “I do really appreciate the kind of sincerity and total faith they have in what they do. So I’m not going to be the logical person who’s going to say, ‘I don’t believe in this.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mind was really blown,” admits Tura. “This whole weekend was just one kind of mind-blowing thing after another. It was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so, six decades in, Unarius continues, spreading its message of love. And, though she has departed to a higher plane, through the magic of film you can still hear Archangel Uriel spreading her message, as she will forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And ever seek within thee, the love that I give unto thee, for I am infiniti … infiniti … infiniti …”\u003c/p>\n\n",

On many of the planets they match the hair color to the dresses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, there’s probably a certain question in your mind. Is this whole thing a cult? You would be wrong, says Calvert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not here to convert, it’s not a cult. Religion could be considered more of a cult than we are. This is a spiritual school, a nonprofit educational foundation. Unarius gets into so many things. It’s a science but it’s an interdimensional science. It’s outside the box.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Far beyond the box is the group’s long-held prophecy of an interstellar palace of learning that will last for eternity. It’ll be erected by aliens on 67 acres of scrubland purchased by Uriel in the 1970s, a few miles from El Cajon. The Unarians ritually visit the site during every Conclave to look to the skies and wait.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their belief is that 33 starships made of crystal and gold will arrive from 33 planets, landing one on top of the other, stacking into the sky like a towering, cosmic wedding cake. Each ship will carry 1,000 professorial beings, each specializing in some form of the arts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And it basically will become a university for the earth world,” says Nick Sawyer, “more advanced than any university that we presently have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unarius may not be a cult, but it has a cult following. In recent years, their staggering canon of films, TV shows, costumes and music including the Unarius choir, And the Angels Sing — have gained unironic attention from artists and alt-culture fans in their 20s and 30s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Writer Jeff Gauntt and actress Julianne Tura fit into that demographic. They’ve driven down from Los Angeles, curious about the Conclave. After witnessing an entire weekend of all things Unarius — crowned by the channeled communication with Space Brother Kuthumi — they are impressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t want to be cynical enough to analyze it, I just want to sort of experience it on the level that they’re presenting it,” says Gauntt. “I do really appreciate the kind of sincerity and total faith they have in what they do. So I’m not going to be the logical person who’s going to say, ‘I don’t believe in this.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mind was really blown,” admits Tura. “This whole weekend was just one kind of mind-blowing thing after another. It was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so, six decades in, Unarius continues, spreading its message of love. And, though she has departed to a higher plane, through the magic of film you can still hear Archangel Uriel spreading her message, as she will forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The small Mexican restaurant she manages, Hornitos Cafe, sits just outside the four-block area that police cordoned off to all traffic, near a major business district in Oakland's Fruitvale neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than half of Gallegos' customers showed up during that week due to the traffic closure, she said, and her business lost hundreds of dollars daily. She had to cancel all food deliveries and cut down hours for her kitchen staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are so sad about the tragic loss of life for so many young people,\" said Gallegos in Spanish, referring to the fire's 36 victims. \"The fire has also affected us because they've closed the street all these days. Clients can't get through -- a lot of them drive here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the deadly blaze, auto body shops, restaurants, a clothing store and a handful of other small businesses inside the closed-off area were forced to shut down for at least five days, affecting potentially dozens of low-income employees in this working-class neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland's \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/ceda/documents/pressrelease/oak061826.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Local Emergency Proclamation\u003c/a>, ratified by the City Council on Dec. 8, could help the city recover up to 75 percent of response and recovery expenses related to the deadly blaze, which Oakland is still determining. It may also allow artists who operated a business at the Ghost Ship warehouse, and neighboring shops with revenue losses related to the fire, to access low-interest loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration, according to city officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
