Starlight Thursdays Episode 263 featuring a live recording from Star Garden 2025 of the one and only Sticky People I haven't really produced much house. Really only 2 or 3 tracks. But when Starlight looped me in to be involved in their New Years Eve celebration, I knew that I needed to pull off a house set. So each weekend leading up to the party, I sat down and banged out a beat or two. I started sampling vocals and strings and some synthy pads from my vinyl, my phone, and from this pile of ¼” tape that I scored with a reel to reel machine from a pawn shop earlier this year. Someone recorded a radio station way back in what must have been the 60s or 70s on these tapes. So listening to them has been a trip and thrown lots of fun sampling my way The vocal samples include, and might not be limited to: Erykah Badu, Gladys Horton, Joe Biden, Lady Pajama. The instrumental samples include: Madonna, KOYN Billings. Once the beats were assembled, I jammed keyboards with them, figuring out chord progressions that I liked. I'd record anything that I liked and then during the week leading up to the party, I listened back on the recordings to choose the beat/chords combos that I liked the best. From there, it was a matter of writing down the chords on a notepad and jamming it out live on New Years Eve! So much thanks to Starlight Reunion for having me! It was a blast!

Swift specializes in the history of sexuality, gender, and labor in the U.S., and she's writing a book about the history of sex worker social movements in which the Lusty Lady features prominently. A couple of years ago, I covered Star Garden, a strip club in North Hollywood, which unionized through SAG-AFTRA. But there's a classic example of stripper unionization that's THE case study often pointed to: Strippers at San Francisco's Lusty Lady organized into the Exotic Dancers Union in 1996. The Exotic Dancers Union was affiliated with the Service Employees International Union. Eventually, the strippers bought the club and ran it as a worker-owned co-op until The Lusty Lady closed in 2013.  This episode dives into Jayne's research on sex worker social movements and how sex workers are responsible for the rise of sex positivity and sex-positive politics/feminism.

Starlight Thursdays Episode 252 Featuring a live recording of Pandaura performing at our 2025 New Years celebration “Star Garden” NYE this year for me was all about the melding of the new with the classic. The party itself was a collaboration between the new sound crew on the block Backwoods Beats and longtime Missoula sound crew Starlight (inside)/Ghetto Gypsy (outside). My mix is a lot of contemporary disco and some more disco-y house. There's been a small resurgence of the disco sound but with modern production techniques in the last few years, and it was a pleasure seeing people enjoy the real instruments and groovy vocals that populate this music. Big thanks to everyone who made that night so special: dancers, DJs, fire spinners, visual artists, food/drink vendors, etc. etc. I love this community and wouldn't be here today without it. Please look out for one another, we'll make it through together. -Pandaura- Be sure to catch Pandaura live in Missoula 3/1/25 12-3pm at our latest collaboration with Funk It

Starlight Thursdays Episode 249 Welcome Suka to the series! We did a little interview to get a glimpse behind the scenes and better acquainted. When did you get into DJing? I started off practicing and messing around with it when i was 18-20. The last two years I've focused on professional shows and playing residencies. Why did you get into it? I fell in love with it at a young age when my cousin was djing in new york city. The festival scene was always something amazing to me. Seeing so many people come together and share music.  What events have you played? I've Preformed in Missoula Pride 2025, Maggot Fest the last two years, headlined at Tipsup, Big Sky, I've had the pleasure to open for Nostalgix, Luci, SoDown, Pushloop, Maddy O'Neal and provide direct support for Mr.Bill. It's been a wild journey. Where are you from? New Jersey/ NYC but currently in the University district, Missoula  What inspires you to DJ?  The way I connect with music is like no other, it takes me away from day to day anxieties, and brings me to a reality i never want to leave. Especially when I am able to make a connection with a room full of people and have a moment where we are one, seeing smiles, laughter and dancing is something i never want to be without.  What inspires you about electronic music culture? I think for me it's how exciting and diverse the electronic music culture can be, an area that continues to grow and theres no stopping it. Can you tell us few words about this mix?   It's a blend of some saucy bass and tech beats recorded on NYE. I went on the decks at 1am, the energy of the room was good and we all just danced together to house music. I played tracks from GENESI, Simon Kidzoo, Matt Sassari, Biscits and Joshwa to name a few. Super fun. Really appreciated ringing in the new year with our community in such a high energy way. We Loved having Suka join us at NYE Star Garden and exited to share the recording of this joyous celebration that takes us back to that unforgettable night. Hope you enjoy!   For More Suka check out her SoundCloud https://on.soundcloud.com/heBdk7iKtLL3zqwd7

Starlight Thursdays episode 248 featuring a live recording of GETDOWN from Star Garden NYE 2025. This was one to remember, GETDOWN went on the decks at midnight performing the first set of 2025. He brought House and Techno into the forefront of our lives on the dance floor and our bodies obliged. This mix deliverers forward driving bass lines, deep rhythms and a steady kick as GETDOWN blends the minimal ethereal melodies on the surface of Techno with the funky force that is House. He still holds a special place in my heart as one of my favorite DJs in the scene and close friends. Time and time again I'm reminded just how hard he delivers with his selection of underground music and prowess behind the decks. -BK Love-

Starlight Thursdays Episode 246 Welcome SiG to the series. What a pleasure it was to bring SiG out for NYE. This live recording of his set Is a refreshing sound not often heard in our region. Filled with melodic techno, beautiful base lines and uplifting vibes. Sig currently resides in his home town of Great Falls MT, but is very well traveled and drew a lot of his DJing influence from his time spent living in Brooklyn. He's obsessed with sound system culture, and dives deep into signal path. Especially important when you own a sound system like the one he brought out for this NYE gathering. It was an absolute gift for our DJs and dancers to play on a high fidelity system. I personally think it's up there with the top speakers in our state. If you're wondering what they were check out KV2 sound and stay tuned for the next time they get setup. - BK Love -

For the 141st episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Velveeta, a Star Garden stripper and organizer, to explain how their 15-month fight for union recognition ended in victory in May. This was the most popular episode of 2023. The spark that ignited the unionization campaign was lit in March of 2022 when the club's security guards repeatedly failed to protect dancers from threatening and abusive behavior from patrons. Dancers were illegally fired for bringing concerns about safety and security to management. With the assistance of Strippers United, a 501(c)3 organization led by strippers that advocates for strippers' rights, Star Garden's strippers began picketing outside the strip club to protest unsafe working conditions. Picketing continued every week through November outside the club's location on Lankershim Blvd in North Hollywood, California. Last August, the dancers announced they had affiliated with Equity. Shortly afterward, the national union filed for an election with the NLRB on behalf of the dancers. In the fall, the labor board conducted an election by mail. A vote count was scheduled for November, but the results were put on hold by the NLRB due to employer objections and legal filings. On Monday, May 15th, lawyers representing the owners of the Star Garden withdrew all election challenges, agreed to recognize the union and meet with the Actors' Equity Association across the bargaining table within 30 days to negotiate a first contract. The club reopened for business as a union club in August. Star Garden's dancers are not the first strippers to seek union recognition. Strippers at San Francisco's Lusty Lady organized the Exotic Dancers Union in 1997. They were affiliated with the Service Employees International Union. The Lusty Lady closed in 2013.

On Monday, May 15th, lawyers representing the owners of the Star Garden agreed to recognize the union and meet with the Actors' Equity Association across the bargaining table within 30 days to negotiate a first contract — and now, 3.5 months later, the club opened back up for business on Thursday, August 24th. Kocak was there to talk to dancers Selena, Wicked, and May and the lead negotiator, Andrea Hoeschen, General Counsel for Actors' Equity Association. Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine was also there to sing a few songs and show his support for the strippers. Kocak and her friend Stacey were also excited to be the first customers inside when the club reopened its doors. The spark that ignited the Star Garden unionization campaign was lit in March of 2022 when the club's security guards repeatedly failed to protect dancers from threatening and abusive behavior from patrons. Dancers were illegally fired for bringing concerns about safety and security to management. With the assistance of Strippers United, a 501(c)3 organization led by strippers that advocates for strippers' rights, Star Garden's strippers began picketing outside the strip club to protest unsafe working conditions. Picketing continued every week through November outside the club's location on Lankershim Blvd in North Hollywood, California. Last August, the dancers announced they had affiliated with Equity. Shortly afterward, the national union filed for an election with the NLRB on behalf of the dancers. In the fall, the labor board conducted an election by mail. A vote count was scheduled for November, but the results were put on hold by the NLRB due to employer objections and legal filings. The NLRB was scheduled to hold a hearing in May over the employer objections, but that hearing was canceled when lawyers representing the owners of the Star Garden agreed to recognize the union.

For the 124th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes writer and sex worker advocate Antonia Crane. Antonia is the founder of Strippers United (formerly Soldiers of Pole), the author of the sex work memoir Spent, and a current Ph.D. candidate at USC. As you may know from the recent episode with Velveeta of the newly unionized Star Garden strippers in North Hollywood, California, they were hugely inspired by the Lusties of the Lusty Lady in San Francisco. The Lusties were the first strippers to successfully unionize in the U.S., back in 1997. And the Star Garden dancers also got assistance from Strippers United. Antonia Crane has been involved in both of these efforts. She was one of the original co-founders of Soldiers of Pole (now Strippers United), and she helped inspire this whole new generation of activist strippers. This is part two of a two-part series. The last episode was part one, featuring an interview with Antonia from 2019, and this episode contains a follow-up interview conducted in 2023, with a lot more backstory on Antonia's experience at the Lusty Lady in the 90s.

The 15-month effort to gain union recognition by dancers employed at the Star Garden Topless Dive Bar in North Hollywood, California, ended in victory this week. For the 116th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Velveeta, one of Star Garden's newly unionized strippers, to explain how this historic milestone came to be. On Monday, May 15th, lawyers representing the owners of the Star Garden withdrew all election challenges, agreed to recognize the union, and will meet with the Actors' Equity Association across the bargaining table within 30 days to negotiate a first contract. The club also will reopen for business and bring back dancers who were dismissed last year. The spark that ignited the unionization campaign was lit in March of 2022 when the club's security guards repeatedly failed to protect dancers from threatening and abusive behavior from patrons. Dancers were illegally fired for bringing concerns about safety and security to management. With the assistance of Strippers United, a 501(c)3 organization led by strippers that advocates for strippers' rights, Star Garden's strippers began picketing outside the strip club to protest unsafe working conditions. Picketing continued every week through November outside the club's location on Lankershim Blvd in North Hollywood, California. Last August, the dancers announced they had affiliated with Equity. Shortly afterward, the national union filed for an election with the NLRB on behalf of the dancers. In the fall, the labor board conducted an election by mail. A vote count was scheduled for November, but the results were put on hold by the NLRB due to employer objections and legal filings. The NLRB was scheduled to hold a hearing this week over the employer objections. That hearing is now unnecessary and has been canceled. Star Garden's dancers are not the first strippers to seek union recognition. Strippers at San Francisco's Lusty Lady organized the Exotic Dancers Union in 1997. They were affiliated with the Service Employees International Union. The Lusty Lady closed in 2013. So that's how the Star Garden dancers became America's only unionized strippers at the moment. Perhaps they will inspire others just like they were inspired by the Lusties.

Well, dancers at North Hollywood's “Star Garden Topless Dive Bar” have become the nation's only unionized strippers, officially joining Actors' Equity after a 15-month battle with the venue's owners. Equity is best known as the union for Broadway and touring stage productions, but also represents stages at Walt Disney World. The Star Garden dancers are the first strippers to join the union. And we were there for the venue's first night as a union strip club. Listen to Lamont & Tonelli Monday through Friday, 6-10am, on 107.7 The Bone in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Reagan and Velveeta have been working with fellow dancers to unionize the Star Garden Topless Dive Bar. While the club is contesting the results of their union vote from back in November, it looks like these ladies will succeed in forming the only stripper union in America! This will be the second unionized strip club in the history of the country, the first being the Lusty Lady in San Francisco which closed in 2013. We discuss the physical harassment and other unsafe working conditions that drove the Star Garden dancers to unionize. After petitioning their employer, 18 dancers were locked out of their workplace in March of ‘22. As a result, the women were driven to escalate their tactics to striking and picketing in front of the club. They've since collected union cards and voted in an official union election. Moving forward, the Actors Equity Association will assist these women as they bargain for a contract. To raise money for the out-of-work dancers on strike, Reagan and Velveeta and some other dancers in the community have been using a side project, the Stripper Co-Op, to put on brilliantly unique and vibrant pop-up strip shows at various venues. The money raised through the Co-Op is distributed fairly amongst the strippers, and they also donate a portion to mutual aid. Donations made between the Stripper Co-Op and its previous virtual iteration, the Cyber Clown Girls, total over $50,000 from May 2020 to the present to over 100 different orgs. The Stripper Co-Op was also inspired by the worker-owned Lusty Lady.Follow @stripperstrikenoho on Instagram and Twitter! @stripstrikenohoPlease support their strike fund here! Sign their petition for safety here!You can also follow their Stripper Co-op on Instagram: @stripperco_op or Shoutout to @jessejamz for crafting the lovely fancy version of the Stripper Strike cocktail!

Janitors who work at the facilities of Facebook and its parent company Meta have been on strike since last Wednesday. Late last week, the strikers received support from two major groups advocating for workers, Silicon Valley Rising and the South Bay Labor Council.  The National Labor Relations Board has approved a union recognition election for dancers at a topless bar in North Hollywood. If the performers at Star Garden organize, they would become the only unionized strippers in the nation. Reporter: Tara Atrian, KCRW A teacher shortage has forced dozens of preschools in California to close classrooms since the start of the school year. Low wages were driving away early childhood educators -- most of them women of color -- long before the pandemic. But the emotional and financial stress, plus the health risks of working during the crisis drove them to quit faster.

For By Brakhage: An Anthology, Volume One many years ago we tried to do the whole set in a single episode like we were trying to get the new world record for getting through the Louvre the fastest. These are art films, so for Volume Two we're taking our time to appreciate them and dedicating an individual episode to each of the six "Programs" that Criterion breaks the set down into. This is episode two, covering Program 2 including Stan Brakhage's Scenes from Under Childhood, Section One (1967), Machine of Eden (1970), Star Garden (1974), and Desert (1976).

De plus en plus d'employés aux États-Unis tentent de se syndiquer, dans de grandes entreprises et parfois, aussi, dans de petites structures. À Los Angeles, les danseuses d'un strip-club sont en grève depuis six mois pour demander de meilleures conditions de travail. Ces derniers mois, aux États-Unis, des employés ont multiplié les efforts pour se syndiquer. Parfois, avec succès, comme dans des entrepôts du géant Amazon ou chez Starbucks. À Los Angeles (Californie), c'est une toute autre industrie qui connaît ce genre de remous : celle du strip-tease. Des danseuses du Star Garden, un petit club du nord de la ville, sont en grève depuis mars dernier. Elles réclament plus de droits, notamment en matière de sécurité vis-à-vis des clients : « On m'a pelotée, mordue, léchée, raconte Lilith, l'une des danseuses gréviste, au micro de Loïc Pialat. Un client m'a soulevée et m'a portée pendant une bonne minute sans que personne n'intervienne. » Leur demande à former un syndicat doit être examinée par le NLRB, l'agence fédérale en charge des négociations collectives. Si elles obtiennent gain de cause, elles deviendraient les seules strip-teaseuses syndiquées du pays, mais pas les premières. Les danseuses du Lusty Lady, à San Francisco, avaient réussi à se syndiquer dans les années 1990. Le club a fermé ses portes en 2013. Attaques à l'arme blanche au Canada : un suspect retrouvé mort Les autorités canadiennes ont retrouvé l'un des deux suspects des attaques de dimanche 4 septembre, dans la province de la Saskatchewan. Deux frères étaient recherchés, soupçonnés d'avoir tué dix personnes et blessé quinze autres dans deux villages isolés, dont l'un à forte population autochtone. Le corps de Damien Sanderson présentait plusieurs blessures, il aurait pu être tué par son frère qui reste introuvable pour l'instant. Ce dernier, connu défavorablement des services de police, pourrait avoir été blessé, d'après la commissaire adjointe de la Gendarmerie royale du Canada. Pérou : scandale politique au Parlement La présidente du Congrès péruvien a été destituée, lundi 5 septembre, après une motion de censure votée par les membres du Congrès. Lady Camones a été sanctionnée après la diffusion d'enregistrements dans lesquels le chef de son parti de droite appelle à faire adopter en priorité une loi de redécoupage électoral qui favoriserait sa campagne. Elle n'était à son poste que depuis un mois. De nouvelles élections doivent se tenir pour lui trouver un successeur. Le même jour, le président Pedro Castillo a nié, une nouvelle fois, les faits qui lui sont reprochés. Il est sous le coup de plusieurs enquêtes pour corruption et trafic d'influence et a été entendu par la justice lundi 5 septembre. Pour le moment, le président est protégé par son immunité. L'audition de son épouse, appelée à comparaître également, a quant à elle été annulée à la dernière minute. ► À lire aussi, la revue de presse des Amériques : À la Une: instabilité politique chronique au Pérou Et à la Une du Journal de La 1ère Et à la Une du Journal de La 1ère : en Martinique, les enseignants affectés en métropole refusent plus que jamais de quitter leur île. ► Écouter le Journal d'Outre-mer La 1ère

For the past few months, the Star Garden Topless Dive Bar in North Hollywood has been the site of an effort to form the first union for strippers in the U.S. in 25 years. While stripping may seem like an unlikely profession to unionize due to the "gig" nature of the work, the dancers say they are defying stereotypes about sex work and proving that every worker deserves a union.  "I want this campaign to hopefully inspire and motivate other dancers and other sex workers to stand up for themselves and stand up for each other and know that there is a community," Reagan, an organizer at Star Garden told The Takeaway. The same energy animating the Star Garden dancers has been inspiring workers across many industries. According to a Bloomberg Law analysis of National Labor Relations Board data, there were more successful union elections in the first half of this year than in the first half of any other year since 2005. We hear from Alex Press, labor journalist with Jacobin Magazine, about how workers can leverage this energy into workplace power.

On March 18, dancers working at the Star Garden Topless Dive Bar in North Hollywood, California, presented a petition to the owners of the club “demanding an end to retaliatory firings and bad club policies that put their safety at risk.” The next day, dancers were locked out of their jobs and told they could only meet with management individually, not as a group. In response, the workers have turned the lockout into a picket and a unionization drive that could have major implications for workers in strip clubs around the country. TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Reagan, one of the dancers at Star Garden who was unjustly fired and who is fighting alongside her coworkers to unionize with Strippers United.Read the transcript of this interview: https://therealnews.com/twerking-class-heroes-la-strippers-are-fighting-for-a-unionPre-Production/Studio: Maximillian AlvarezPost-Production: Cameron GranadinoHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-podSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/newsletter-podLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews
