Hanif Abdurraqib is a poet, cultural critic, and author of numerous books, including They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us, A Little Devil in America, and There's Always This Year. He's very passionate about music, as is evidenced in his massive collection, purchased online and at concert venues, of concert t-shirts, band sweatshirts, and other vintage apparel linked to various artists. Hanif walks us through his criteria for selecting which shirts to buy as well as what will determine the coming culling of his collection down to a more manageable 70. He also details the white whale that's still out there, the item he dreams of: Tina Weymouth's Talking Heads jacket last spotted onstage in Rome in 1980. Tina, if you still have that jacket, give us a call.

“We do a lot of writing alone, in our own space. But writing is not a solitary practice. The business of writing requires a community.” –Angelique Stevens In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Angelique talk about what her writing life is like in the decade since she first took Rolf’s Paris class, with the ambition of becoming a travel writer, and how her travel book transformed into something different (2:00); how Angelique gave herself permission to write about herself in an honest way, and what craft lessons have helped her writing (8:00); and Angelique’s reading habits as a writer, her writing process, and how she came to think of herself as a writer (23:00). Angelique Stevens‘ is creative writing professor whose nonfiction has been published in Best American Essays two years in a row (2022, edited by Alexander Chee and 2023 edited by Vivian Gornick), Granta, LitHub, The New England Review, and a number of anthologies.

Hey music fans, welcome to episode #20 of BOTR! Thanks for checking it out! I recently visited with the Alicia, Jim, Josh, and Kyle…the 4 members of Silver Sonic, a blues rock powerhouse from Pennsylvania.  We spend time discussing how the band got together, the musical influences they bring to the band, and their 2024 self titled EP released in March.  That 4 song EP displays their ability to craft tight 70's rock riffs, with driving, energetic drums, thumping, fluid bass lines, and delivered with powerful, dynamic vocals. Do yourself a favor and check them out on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. You can also purchase the EP from BandCamp.

What happens when a Ouija board, some fog machines, and 80s fashion collide? Brace yourself for our wickedly funny take on the 1986 horror flick "Witchboard," where the horror is as much in the plot as it is in the questionable acting and character choices. Expect laugh-out-loud moments as we unravel the tale of Linda and her supernatural misadventures, all while sipping on our themed drink, "The Little Devil." The film's attempt at suspense has us scratching our heads and reaching for another cocktail, and we'll tease out all the absurdities you won't want to miss.Is wearing sunglasses at night a fashion statement or an entire personality? We ponder this and other 80s clichés as we dissect the film's oddball dialogue and acting choices that seem to mistake possession for pregnancy. Our "Tropes Hall of Shame" is filled with those familiar horror staples that manage to be more comedic than chilling. Get ready for our critique of the movie's over-the-top fog effects, the seemingly affluent lifestyles of our characters, and those ever-predictable Ouija board antics. Plus, we draw some hilarious parallels to cinema classics like "Ghost" and "Star Wars."From eerily nostalgic music reminiscent of Depeche Mode to the peculiar on-set happenings, it's all here in our breakdown. We even throw in some salacious trivia, like Tawny Kitaen's link to OJ Simpson, and delve into the real Ouija board story that inspired a knife scene. Whether you're here for the supernatural spooks or just a good chuckle at 80s horror missteps, our episode promises a rollicking ride through the quirkiest parts of "Witchboard." Stick around for the "terrifying or titillating" segment, where we balance fear with humor, and discover why this cult classic still captures imaginations today.

Et møte med trommis Olav Dowkes etter lydsjekk i den nederlandske byen Tilburg. Olav fra Halden er her midtveis i Europa-turnéen og gifteklar(!).Her forteller brudgommen om turnélivet, hvor og hvordan karrieren startet og ikke minst: supportjobben for METALLICA.

That little devil, we all have one he sits on our shoulder and tempts us and today I talk about that.

Uitgekeken op het aanbod van metalfestivals in de directe omgeving stapt Osmium - de zwaarste podcast in het Nederlands - in het vliegtuig naar Roemenië voor Rockstadt Extreme Fest. Het zes dagen durende evenement in de bergen van Transsylvanië herbergt ruim honderd bands en ontvangt voor haar tiende editie internationale blikvangers als Behemoth, Amon Amarth en Kreator. Persoonlijke favorieten als The Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, Saxon en Baroness passeren ook nog eens de revue. Ondanks haar boetiekformaat blijkt Rockstadt Extreme Fest een totale uitputtingsslag en eenmaal weer thuisgekomen praten babbelaars Niels en Pim je bij over deze onvergetelijke reis. Wat begint als een schijnbaar eindeloze klaagzang over logistiek, publiek en overige randzaken, krijgt uiteindelijk een heilzame conclusie. Rockstadt Extreme Fest is - zodra de cultuurschok eenmaal verwerkt is - een ruwe diamant in een onderbediende metalregio van Europa. Niels en Pim keren daarom terug met een herboren dankbaarheid voor het brede aanbod thuis en vinden het stiekem toch wel heel erg leuk om een vakantie met obscure bestemming te verrijken met dit opkomende muziekfestival. De diepgravende onderzoeksjournalistiek van deze aflevering wordt meteen beloond door het Nederlands Instituut voor Beeld & Geluid, dat de Osmium podcast als belangrijk onderdeel van het Nederlandse culturele erfgoed beschouwt en het derhalve gaat archiveren. Wie durft nu nog te zeggen dat Osmium niets meer is dan een verzameling onzin-stories op Instagram? Met muziek van The Dillinger Escape Plan.

Growing up in Columbus, Ohio, in the 1990s, Hanif Abdurraqib witnessed a golden era of basketball, one in which legends like LeBron James were forged and countless others weren't. In his new book, There's Always This Year, Abdurraqib tells his story of a lifelong love of the game with a lyrical, historical, and emotionally rich exploration of who we think deserves success, the tension between excellence and expectation, and the very notion of role models, woven together with intimate, personal storytelling. “Here is where I would like to tell you about the form on my father's jump shot,” Abdurraqib writes. “The truth, though, is that I saw my father shoot a basketball only one time.” No matter the subject — whether it's basketball, music, or performance — Hanif Abdurraqib sends out a clarion call to radically reimagine how we think about our culture, our country, and ourselves. Hanif Abdurraqib is a poet, essayist, and cultural critic from Columbus, Ohio, and the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation “Genius” grant. His most recent book, A Little Devil in America, was the winner of the Carnegie Medal and the Gordon Burns Prize and a finalist for the National Book Award. His first collection of essays, They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us, was named one of the books of the year by NPR, Esquire, BuzzFeed, O: The Oprah Magazine, Pitchfork, and Chicago Tribune, among others. Go Ahead in the Rain: Notes to A Tribe Called Quest was a New York Times bestseller and a National Book Critics Circle Award and Kirkus Prize finalist and was longlisted for the National Book Award. He is a graduate of Beechcroft High School.

In his new book, A Little Devil in America, poet Hanif Abdurraqib writes about music in such a way that NPR's Rachel Martin wanted to focus a conversation about spiritual transcendence related to it. What came out, however, was a deep discussion about how losing his mother and close friends early in life created its own kind of spiritual practice for Abdurraqib. In today's episode, he explains how "grief makes a home within us" and why that might actually be a good thing.

Hilton Als, joins Eric Newman to discuss his new book, My Pinup, a hybrid memoir-essay that explores questions of race, desire, and autonomy through an intense and intimate focus on Hilton's relationship with and to polymath musician and sexual dynamo Prince.  By looking at Prince as a subject of queer desire and being and at his recording career as a study in the struggle between Black excellence and white corporate control, MY PINUP probes the simultaneous allure of Black queer aesthetics and its disavowal in the hostile terrains of the music industry and American culture. The memoir/essay offers us a chance to remember and get close to the Prince that was, and to mourn the Prince that could have been.  Also, Dionne Irving, author of The Islands, returns to recommend A Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance by Hanif Abdurraqib.

Hanif Abdurraqib is a poet, essayist, and critic whose work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine and many other publications. His latest book is A Little Devil in America: In Praise of Black Performance. “I learn from hearing my elders tell stories. There's an inherent knowing of yourself as a vessel for narration who also has to—is required to—hold the attention of others at all costs. And that's essentially what I'm trying to do. The broader project of my writing is almost a constant pleading of: Don't leave yet.

What does anger look like? In Yaeji's case, the answer is simple: a fearsome, bedazzled hammer. At least, that's the idea behind her forthcoming debut album. “It's a story about me and my anger,” says Yaeji. “My anger is materialized into this hammer that I befriend.” In this episode, Hanif sits down with Yaeji to talk about her songwriting process, her debut album, and the usefulness, the beauty, and the complicated nature of anger. Hanif closes the episode with a final thought: when we stop pushing away our anger and listen to what it is telling us, what greater acts of love, service, and creativity can that anger propel us towards?
