So Be It

"Concerns rising inside White House over surge in violent crime," CNN tells us. "America's Crime Surge: Why Violence Is Rising, And Solutions To Fix It," proclaims NPR. "Officials worry the rise in violent crime portends a bloody summer," reports The Washington Post.

Over and over this summer we have heard – and will no doubt continue to hear – the scourge of rising crime is the most urgent issue on voters' minds. Setting aside the way media coverage itself shape public opinion, the rising murder rates in urban areas is indeed very real and its victims disproportionately Black and Latino.

In response, like clockwork, Democrats and Democratic Party-aligned media have allied with conservatives and right-wing media are rehashing the same tired responses: more police, longer sentences, and tougher laws. But this time, they assure us it will be different: it won’t be racist and overly punitive. Instead, in addition to the return of 1990s Tough On Crime formula. we will get enough nebulous reforms and anti-bias training that it will somehow be enlightened and consistent with the demands of Black Lives Matter.

But everything we know about the past 50 years tells us this will not be true. Indeed, if more policing and prisons solved crime, the United States would be the safest country on Earth, but, of course, it is not. According to The American Journal of Medicine, compared to 22 other high-income nations, the United States' gun-related murder rate is 25 times higher despite imprisoning people at rates 5-10 times what other rich nations do.

So why do lawmakers and the media always reach for the same so-called "solutions" when it comes to crime? What are the assumptions that inform how we respond to an increase in homicides and other violent crime? How can the wealthiest nation in the world throw billions of dollars, more police, longer sentences, and tougher prosecutors at our high murder rates only to continue to wildly outpacing the rest of the so-called developed world on this, the most urgent of metrics?

On this episode, we explore the origins of "crime," what crimes we consider noteworthy and which are ignored, how property rights and white supremacy informed the crime we center in our media, how the crimes of poverty, environmental destruction, wage theft, and discrimination are relegated to the arena of tort, with its gentle fines and drawn out lawsuits – while petty theft and drug use results in long prison sentences. We’ll study how these bifurcations inform both media accounts of crime and how we respond with more police, and longer sentences the second we are faced with so-called crime waves.

Our guests are Civil Rights Corps' Alec Karakatsanis and sociologist Tamara K. Nopper.

Atari ST YM2149 DJ Mix

1985年に登場したホームコンピュータ、Atari ST、その内蔵サウンドチップ、YM2149Fに焦点を当てたミックスです。
Yamaha YM2149はGeneral Instrument AY-3-8910の互換チップですが、音量の分解能等、若干の違いがあります。広義には後者が代表するPSG（Programabble Sound Generator）音源に分類されることがありますが、GI社の仕様と区別するため、Yamaha社の互換チップおよびその性能は特にSSG（Software-controlled Sound Generator）と呼ばれます。

海外ホームコンピューティング、より局所的にはデモシーンおよびチップミュージックの文脈では、ZX SpectrumやAmstrad CPCに使用された後者とそのシリーズをAY、前者をYMを呼ぶ習慣があります。

BIO:
Nick Nice has been dj'ing for 20+ years. An avid music collector since childhood he began his dj career in earnest in order to share his passion with the public. He was one of the founders of the midwest rave scene, organizing some of the first events in the United States back in 1991. While living in France for several years he was a resident dj at the infamous Queen club, located on the Champs-Elysées in Paris. He was hired by David Guetta who was the artistic director at the time. He has also performed extensively throughout France and continental Europe. In addition Nick was one of the first international dj's to play in Moscow, Russia in 1993.

After moving back to the U.S. he ran a successful record store, Nice Musique, for several years. He also had a top rated radio show called Fromage on what was then known as Power 105.9. He moved home in order to be closer to his family. His son, Maceo was born on April 28th, 2010. While based in Madison, he performs there regularly and has been voted best dj in the city by various local media outlets for many years in a row. He also plays often throughout the midwest, with shows at the world-renowned Smart Bar &amp; Moonshine in Chicago, The Highbury in Milwaukee (to name but a couple of places) and regularly returns to France, continuing to spread his love of music wherever he is. 

He has performed with many amazing artists such as; Hot Chip, Claude Monnet, Dimitri from Paris, Kaskade, David Guetta, Daft Punk, Kevin Saunderson, L.A. Riots, Bonobo, Richie Hawtin, John Acquaviva, Laurent Garnier, Alice Russell, Hercules & Love Affair, Derrick May, Deep Dish, BT, Dirty Vegas, Scott Hardkiss, Boo Williams, Green Velvet, Dj Drama, Dixon, Jazzanova, Dirty Vegas, Faze Action, Idjut Boys, Pure Science, Roy Davis, Jr., Woody Mcbride & many more...

Nick also produces music with his friend Brad Owen under the alias of The Regionalists. Their first release, Live Nude Rhodes, sold over 2000 copies on vinyl. They have also done several remixes, most notably one for Amnesty International's 40th Anniversary in collaboration with the Buddha Bar mix CD series. Nick's musical style is not limited to any one genre in particular; preferring to play for the vibe of the venue, the crowd and his mood in general. 

One thing is for sure; Nick's love of music, life and bringing different groups of people together always comes across no matter what the setting. Nick Nice will always make you dance or get your head nodding and guarantees you will have a good time when he is performing.
