here We Live is the new album by Indianapolis based trio Chrome Waves who are made up of new drummer Dustin Boltjes, James Benson on bass/guitar/vocals, and Jeff Wilson on bass/guitars/synth/vocals. It is the follow-up to the 2019 debut full-length A Grief Observed, their split with industrial noise terrorists Gridfailure and The Cold Light Of Despair featuring covers of tracks by Nirvana, Nick Cave and Slowdive. The decision to cover Slowdive is as significant as naming the band after a Ride track, providing an important clue as to their influences. The band reformed in 2018 following a protracted period away. I first encountered Jeff Wilson’s work when I reviewed his excellent gothic/post-punk influenced Deeper Graves project, which like Where We Live, was released on his own Disorder Recordings label. The beautiful art/layout was done by Brian Sheehan/Legerdemain and has a more abstract approach, compared to the organic natural themes of previous releases. Hallow Dreams opens with a violin led intro (courtesy of Christopher Brown) before some blistering black metal kicks in, the drumming is especially impressive and any concerns about new drummer Dustin’s ability are quickly blown out of the water. The track soon settles into a mid to low paced range with Jeff’s intensely emotional vocals accompanying it. The Classical influences remind me a little of Emperor’s later more grandiose works and there is also a progressive post-rock sound too. Quite a heady, yet effective mixture of influences for an opening track. Gazing Into Oblivion starts slowly and recalls the gothic intonations of Jeff’s Deeper Graves project, as well as the sense of drama you’d expect from Sisters of Mercy. It’s a driving number chocked full of dynamic aggression and brooding melody. A killer track. New Skin marks the halfway mark and is a slice of shoegaze centered loveliness with atmospherics in spades. Jeff eschews his black metal shrieks altogether here and sings in a style not too dissimilar to Mark Gardener from Ride. What Chrome Waves do so well is respectfully acknowledge black metal’s heritage while simultaneously experimenting beyond the boundaries of the genre… Spoonfed is a little longer at over eight minutes long and has more of a depressive doom vibe, along the lines of a more restrained Type O Negative but without that band’s trademark self-deprecating sense of humour. Penultimate track On The Precipice harks back to the Norwegian scene ala Mayhem with some chunky riffing and harsh vocals before the melodic choruses take you by surprise. There is a distinctive Post-Metal edge that you’d expect from Isis, Neurosis, Rosetta and other bands of that ilk. Final track Where You Live is the longest on the record at nearly eleven minutes and lives up to the expression ‘saving the best till last’. The track has epic written all over it, a slow and steady build up, the plaintive cries from Jeff and the waves of distortion that recalls Ride’s Vapour Trail. A track that strongly highlights a sense of finality. If the likes of Deafheaven, Wolves In The Throne Room and Alcest appeal to you, then there’s a very good chance you’ll appreciate this album. However I would argue that even a black metal purist like me will find something appealing about it too, opposed to the aforementioned groups, as it feels more natural and less ‘hip’ (in the Pitchfork sense). What Chrome Waves do so well is respectfully acknowledge black metal’s heritage while simultaneously experimenting beyond the boundaries of the genre. This is another superb release from Jeff Wilson and will ensure I will be staying glued to Disorder Recordings output for the foreseeable future.

Working with network effects in our 100+ portfolio companies makes it impossible not to notice how the same mechanisms and math that create near-destiny for companies also create near-destiny for us as individuals. It’s mind-blowing once you see it. We will get to how the network force should guide your decision making in the 7 crossroads of your life, including: What Family You’re Born Into, your High School Network, your College Network, your First Job, Marriage/Choosing a Life Partner, Where You Live, and Reassessments. We all think we make these choices ourselves. It certainly feels like we’re in full control. But it turns out that our choices — both in our startups and in our lives — are more constrained than we think. Our networks are our most valuable resource. They are the way our lives express themselves. Those networks are made up of all the people you care about, the people you, inspire, move, and help to live their best lives.

Joanna Schug (@joannaschug) is a social and cross-cultural psychologist at the College of William and Mary. We discuss how the concept of relational mobility helps us understand why cultures differ from one another, and why people can have difficulty adapting to a new culture. For a long time, we’ve described cultures in terms of individualism or collectivism, but there are limitations to those terms. Joanna explains how we can interpret cultural behavior better if we think about high and low relational-mobility cultures.

On this episode of Tamarindo, Brenda chats with her friend and mentor Mari Riddle, the first Latina Executive Direct of Grand Performances, a nonprofit whose mission is to inspire community, celebrate diversity, and unite Los Angeles through free access to global performing arts. Together, they chat about what it means to bring your whole self to work and the challenges of being the head of a nonprofit organization. For 30 years, Grand Performances is one of Southern California’s largest presenters of free performing arts programs and an important summer destination in the Grand Avenue Arts District of downtown Los Angeles. It's a place where you can catch an opera about Pancho Villa, dance to world music, see bands from Cuba or hip hop group from Tehran. A truly LA experience! You can support Grand Performance on October 6th during their [fundraiser](http://www.grandperformances.org/fall-fundraiser.php). Co-host Melinna Bobadilla is away at film festivals for the film she stars in “We know Where You Live”, directed by Honora Talbott, the story of a Mexican American couple moving into a trendy, gentrifying LA neighborhood who receive a “warm welcome” from two hipsters who are not what they seem. If you’re in LA, check out Melinna on Friday August 17 at the Holy Shorts Film Festival at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. [Get tickets here!](http://www.hollyshorts.com/)

I love wimmin and our Radical Feminist music through Time, as it foregrounds the Gynocentric Background (Mary Daly’s articulation) and pushes back the onslaught of phallocentricity that pitifully tries to pass as everything. I offer these bi-monthly arrangements of Women’s Liberation Music as Female magic to continue to undo what has been done to all of us through time and space for millennia under male supremacy and to link us to the Gynocentric Goddess-honoring world that came before. "The connections between & among women are the most feared, the most problematic and the most potentially transforming force on the planet." Adrienne Rich
