Saturday Jam: NPR Tiny Desk Concert: Monsieur Periné

Afro-Colombian jazz

I dare you not to feel good listening to this wonderful band from Colombia. I double dare you.

March 4, 2016 by FELIX CONTRERAS

Monsieur Periné hails from Colombia, a country known for its Afro-Colombian cumbia, as well as New York-style salsa. Instead, however, the band has embraced 1920s-era, guitar-driven jazz from the U.S. The unlikely inspiration has resulted in a large and international following, as well as a Latin Grammy not too long ago: Monsieur Periné was named 2015’s Best New Artist.

Words don’t do this band justice. Play the video and discover Monsieur Periné’s magic for yourself.

So Trump feels that America’s future lies in becoming an international pariah, just deciding which laws apply to us and which apply to everybody else. You know, like the very people we’re fighting against, although we’re supposed to be the “good guys.”

Kasich just jumped over 10% of the vote in Kansas, as the rest of the 3rd District came in almost all at once. That gives him three delegates (mostly at Cruz’ expense) and will probably deprive Cruz of a majority of the vote, although he should still get a majority of delegates.

It’s too late in the game for him to try for his seat, and doing so now would be a gift to the DNC, who’d turn every single time he was quoted as not caring too much for the job against him.

Graham. Graham was in JAG. But you’re right. Fewer and fewer Republicans with military service running for President and I expect that number to get fewer. Part of it that as we get away from the Vietnam generation as we did with WWII/Korea, the volunteer military means fewer. It’s quite remarkable though. Every president from Truman to H.W Bush had some kind of military experience.

Graham. Graham was in JAG. But you’re right. Fewer and fewer Republicans with military service running for President and I expect that number to get fewer. Part of it that as we get away from the Vietnam generation as we did with WWII/Korea, the volunteer military means fewer. It’s quite remarkable though. Every president from Truman to H.W Bush had some kind of military experience.

That would be an interesting theses in some government studies program: The effect of ending the draft on military experience for presidents.

Not surprising, considering how big a crisis WWII was.

Considering the back to back issues of the Great Depression and WWII, I am glad that FDR served during the entire time.

I do want to note, some of FDR’s opponents during those elections went a little weird politically during and after the war.

We did have a brief period though after the Civil War generation of presidents died out after McKinley though. No president from Wilson through FDR had military experience.

Oh yeah the war was a big test. I can’t think of a presidential candidate of that generation (born 1911-1926 who did not serve in WWII). I don’t know about FDR’s opponents though. Wilkie to his credit was supportive of the war effort. I think Landon, Hoover, and Dewey too.

I do think there is something to said about that. The GOP has been hawkish as a national party since arguably since 1952 but I’d argue that while past GOP standard bearers such as Dole and H.W Bush were hawks, they weren’t insane about the user of military force either.

That would be Truman, who attended business college and law school but didn’t graduate:

Most Presidents of the United States received a college education, even most of the earliest. Of the first seven Presidents, five were college graduates. College degrees have set the Presidents apart from the general population, and Presidents have held such a degree even when this was quite rare and, indeed, unnecessary for practicing most occupations, including law. Of the forty-three individuals to have been the President, twenty-four of them graduated from a private undergraduate college, nine graduated from a public undergraduate college, and eleven held no degree. Every President since 1953 has had a bachelor’s degree, this is in part because of the increasing importance of higher education in the United States.

Okay as someone descended from coal miners, I got a great laugh out of that.

I’m the son of a coal miner. Our town had a lot of people in coal from long before I was born. The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) built the town’s Welfare Institute, a combination of meeting-hall and educational facility. They hosted political discussions and invited speakers on politics and science, world history and events. The Institute had a film projection booth and showed newsreels from Europe and America, and a small library and reading-room with, among others, English-language copies of Pravda and other left-wing newspapers as well as older copies of Time and Newsweek from the US.

The local NUM paid for scholarships for gifted children to attend private schools and I got a small bursary from them when I went to University in the early 70s, as did some other schoolmates. Education was always a big thing in our locality, in part because the miners didn’t want their kids to have to go down the pit to work as they and their fathers had to.

re: #186 Nojay UK

I’m the son of a coal miner. Our town had a lot of people in coal from long before I was born. The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) built the town’s Welfare Institute, a combination of meeting-hall and educational facility. They hosted political discussions and invited speakers on politics and science, world history and events. The Institute had a film projection booth and showed newsreels from Europe and America, and a small library and reading-room with, among others, English-language copies of Pravda and other left-wing newspapers as well as older copies of Time and Newsweek from the US.

The local NUM paid for scholarships for gifted children to attend private schools and I got a small bursary from them when I went to University in the early 70s, as did some other schoolmates. Education was always a big thing in our locality, in part because the miners didn’t want their kids to have to go down the pit to work as they and their fathers had to.

My mom’s grandfathers were coal miners in Johnstown, Pa after they emigrated to the US from Slovakia and Slovenia. UMWA members. From what my grandparents have told me, three people had portraits in their homes- Jesus Christ, FDR, and John L. Lewis.

There’s a lot of things to criticize Bernie about but I don’t see him as an enemy. I think he’s just wrong and not the best candidate. As I said I don’t take it personally. I was actually pretty amused to hear that my 71 year old uncle went for Bernie. My dad finally fessed up. Him too. He wasn’t a surprise though. Dad’s an old hippie but my uncle was never really counter-culture back in the day. Very much a liberal of course but damn that’s our entire family on my dad’s side.

You have to remember these people are your friends. Friends are going to disagree. The minute we start taking things personally. That’s when we become irrational. Now it’s easy for me to say I admit since so much my own extended family shares my broad liberal ideology but I do have conservative and libertarian friends as well. I figure if they respect me knowing where I stand and have been good friends to me regardless of differences, then I don’t get to hold our differences over them. I can and do hope that they’ll see things differently but hey I feel that way about people who like different music, sports teams, etc than Ido too.

There’s a lot of things to criticize Bernie about but I don’t see him as an enemy. I think he’s just wrong and not the best candidate.

I think he’s a crappy general candidate. I think his views are narrowed by a life and career in a highly non-representative state. I think he doesn’t get or doesn’t care to get a lot of the problems facing this country. I think he doesn’t embrace a lot of imperfect solutions that Obama’s coalition has built. I think he’s naive at best about what he could accomplish, or about how this country would react to continued political deadlock, and any number of other things. I am concerned he’s completely uninterested about foreign policy. I am a little bit offended at how he treats minority voters as though they would support him if only they were a little more educated about his policies. I am a little bit offended at how he thinks he can show up on the Democratic Party’s doorstep one morning and just expect equal treatment as if American political parties are literally anything other than friend-posses constructed to help pals get shit done for each other.

The issue is two fold.

1, that I got attacked so often for my politics in the past that I see someone as holding a different viewpoint as a personal attack on me.

2, because of being attacked so often, I see politics as war, which mean the other person is on the “opposing army” so to speak, and must be defeated by all means, even if it means sending someone out of the room crying (which I have done, though not recently).

They are wrong, and I am working through them, but they are also the way I have thought for at least 10 years, so re-rewriting how I should behave in this regard is very difficult. Intellectually, I need to act one way, but I instinctively and reflexively want to act in the other way.

I had written an honors thesis about my time in Japan, and Sheffield had an institute of East Asian studies, so I said that I would like to go there.

Look at this way, these friends have been your friends before? They know where you stand. They’re not attacking you. Return the favor is what I’m saying here. If someone treats you like shit because of your political views, then they’re not worth it but if someone who you have disagreements with still is cool to you, no need to declare war on them. And finally war is war. These are ideas. War is something a lot more horrifying than this.

I know you have issues to work through, but if you’re truly being attacked because of politics, it could be in the way you present your politics.

I’m extremely involved in politics, and can be pretty outspoken, but I don’t believe I’ve ever been attacked for my politics.

Do you just talk about politics, or do you participate? Maybe, if you have such strong political views, you should get involved with the Democratic party where you live? It would give you the opportunity to voice your opinions while surrounded by like-thinking people, and it might also present some opportunities to meet some folks with whom you have things in common.

I am planning on doing that here shortly.

It’s both.

Earlier on, I was the one getting blasted for being Liberal, over time, I started hitting back, and the Norway Attack caused me to start going rampant, and start attacking other’s politics in order to hurt them.

When the Republican Friend came out to me as Republican, the first question I asked her was whether she wanted to kill me because I was Muslim, and later that week if she approved the killing of the kids in Norway. We did eventually come to an understanding, at shortly there after realized I had gone full circle. I had been bashed for politics, now I was doing the exact thing back. Call it a “Come to Allah” moment.

The Norway attack screwed with my head a lot. Probably because I saw the footage live, including the dead kids on the beach, and seeing the pictures of the funerals (The one that still stands out to me was the funeral of Kurdish Muslim Girl.), and knowing I lost a relative in the attack.

This was the line in your response that really stood out to me:

When the Republican Friend came out to me as Republican, the first question I asked her was whether she wanted to kill me because I was Muslim, and later that week if she approved the killing of the kids in Norway.

If a friend of mine posed a question like that to me, I would be extremely put off and insulted. How could you even suggest that a FRIEND would want to kill you?

You really need to step back and not look at everything that happens in the entire world as being directly related to you. I know it’s hard not to personalize things, but there are many, many things that happen that have nothing to do with you personally, so expecting friends to take ownership of events that have nothing to do you with you or them is just an extreme overreaction.

Again, I suggest if you have such strong political feelings, do something about them—get involved. Phone bank, join some political clubs, work for a candidate. It’s a great way to vent, and it might actually do some good, rather than just letting yourself build up such hatred.

Wonder what he’ll do. I don’t see him going the Huckabee route since Huckabee has that “folksy likability” that conservatives like. Rubio’s really not a likable guy.

He can sell cars for Norman Braman.

… and liberals did not look at conservatives as the enemy.

US conservatives have declared this war and started firing first.

re: #213 Testy Toad T

You’ve expressed my sentiments perfectly. Except I’m more vehement about them.

I think he’s a crappy general candidate. I think his views are narrowed by a life and career in a highly non-representative state. I think he doesn’t get or doesn’t care to get a lot of the problems facing this country. I think he doesn’t embrace a lot of imperfect solutions that Obama’s coalition has built. I think he’s naive at best about what he could accomplish, or about how this country would react to continued political deadlock, and any number of other things. I am concerned he’s completely uninterested about foreign policy. I am a little bit offended at how he treats minority voters as though they would support him if only they were a little more educated about his policies. I am a little bit offended at how he thinks he can show up on the Democratic Party’s doorstep one morning and just expect equal treatment as if American political parties are literally anything other than friend-posses constructed to help pals get shit done for each other.

Hate? Do I hate Bernie Sanders? Grow up. That’s a comment I’d downding from pretty much anybody else except I’ve been Overton window’d into just expecting that kind of nonsense from some people.

It is long past time to replace these old guys as my favorite Colombian band:
