Started primarily as a limited edition cassette titled bonus beast 1 to trade while on tour with Big Nurse in , the beast slowly took hold and has evolved into its own sort of demented mess of deconstructed pop.
Several releases,as well as live performances, appeared here and there over the next few years in small run editions. This release is a collection of the finer moments of the bonus beast catalogue.
Reassembled in a means to deconstruct linear arrangement to arrive at a piece completely devoid of space and time, side e and beyond conceptualizes the transformation of movement into a multi-dimensional reality. This tape shares sentiments with the now defunct BN but takes a different route.
Definitely a home-recorded affair, awkward mixing choices, overdriven signals, lost moments, zero engineering and tape hiss are all worn proudly on the sleeve, and i think to their benefit. The author fought his way up on the east side the "beast side" of Baltimore, Maryland - or "Bodymore, Murderland" as his friends call it - surviving murderous business rivals in the drug trade and equally predatory lawmen.
Throughout it all, he pursued his education, earning a master's degree from Johns Hopkins University, while staying rooted in his community. When Black residents of Baltimore finally decided they had had enough - after the brutal killing of year-old Freddie Gray while in police custody - Watkins was on the streets when the city erupted.
He writes about his bleeding hometown with the razor-sharp insights of someone who bleeds along with it. Here are true dispatches from the other side of America. Listen to this book. If you didn't grow up in a place like this, at least you'll gain some perspective. Extremely well written and provides helpful insights. Amazing narration-my teens even listened willingly and happily. This read opened my eyes further to the dynamics of what Black people have to go through on a daily basis.
I was unaware of what happened in Baltimore and how bad East Baltimore was or is when it comes to Police unaccountability. I'm looking forward to learning more about what can be done to change history for the better.
Written by D. Watkins about his experiences in Baltimore - I am listening and I am learning. So much of what D. Watkins wrote was new to me. Two things really stuck out for me. We especially need access to better education and healthy food for everyone, especially our children.
Systemic racism in our policing, economy and government has to be addressed. Voting is one place to start, but I feel like we need to do more. He not only came across as culturally knowledgeable but as an authority- an academician with real experience to affect our world in a significant way.
Great analysis and perspective on what's happening. Some overlaps from your other book but that's ok. Just wish you would have narrated.
