BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
Welcome to the second installment of USELESS/USEFUL, in which we discuss topics of interest, broken into two categories. USELESS covers topics that have to do with pop culture, music, film, etc. – and the term “useless” is used lovingly, hearkening back to the DIY Brooklyn venue Fort Useless and the community around that. USEFUL covers topics like relief efforts, charitable campaigns, and social issues that we want to draw attention to. We’ll also share about projects going on at Stereoactive Media. Here are our topics for this episode…
USELESS ITEM ONE: ‘Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story’ and the very Nineties phenomenon of true crime crossing over into pop culture.
USELESS ITEM TWO: Malvina Reynolds, the folk-singer perhaps best known for her song, “Little Boxes.”
USEFUL ITEM: “A smart, seasoned collective of writers, editors, and creatives — are launching The Flytrap, an independent, collectively owned media outfit that’s bringing feminist thought and cultural criticism against the algorithm back to the internet and into your inbox, starting November 5, 2024. (Yes, Election Day!)”
STEREOACTIVE BULLETIN BOARD: Our latest RedactedAV release features Lafayette, LA band FIGHTs performing “Shellac” for our ‘Hear & There’ series.
