The wisdom of the ancestors. An arcane Jazz boffin. Cricket. Neosoul. Lowkey liker of things. History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.

Comrade Bandile Joyi and I at the airport, in our failed mission to get to Robben Island for the reunion of ex political prisoners and the unveiling of statues of iconic patriotic heroes like Sobukwe and Khotso Seatlholo. We'll make the trip on our own next time.

I mean, if cats can't really understand the difference between concrete and abstract labor and how the latter falls under the category of mere speculation, then the rest will baffle them.

the truth is no art form, however radical or avant-garde it purports itself can escape the hand of the market, and its attendant features of appropriation and domestication. all art is available for capture so long as it is available for consumption by an audience.

it's funny when comrades fail to admit how jazz (by virtue of subsumption into capital) has been conscripted into regimes of taste associated with bourgeois ideology and how, as a result, audiences are then interpellated into this fantasy of taste.

😂 I knew you'd defer to Iphupho and the alternative scene as a counter-example, and while I do appreciate such interventions, I still argue that you're mistaking the trees for the forest, and fail to appreciate an analysis of commodity fetishism I'm trying to gesture us towards.
the crisis is when your consumption of jazz is at joy of jazz and the like, there’s many alternative spaces and musicians that are community centred in their approach. go listen to @IphuphoLikaBiko and visit @weedloversstore as a start…

Also, you fail to understand how capitalism subsumes art into a marker of class distinction and therefore, as a result of this fetish character of jazz as a commodity, it becomes a distinct marker of taste for the elite and middle class due to its "highbrow" character.

it's all cool when we say hip-hop has gone commercial, but the moment a similar argument is made about jazz, cats start clutching their pearls.

Contemporary jazz rhymes with ass. Full of groupies who know nothing about music.

The undertones on some of the comments suggest that a certain class of people cannot be depressed or have suicidal thoughts, let alone commit suicide. These stereotypes are part of what is wrong with society.
