The sounds they took from us (432 Hz)

(Back in time) There was a forced transition of the world from the natural frequency of 432 Hz to the artificial 440 Hz | They is WHY they did it

(Back in time) Every house before 1870 had a "spirit room" for sound resonance (not spirits) | This is what they replaced it with

Punk Rock 'chella: No Values concert 2024

WARNING: Absolute filth, garbage, this should be illegal! This seems to be some band Tees OL, Tee Sol, singing some kind of, can't understand a word the fat blond man (political candidate, father, and author Jack Grisham) is saying about being in high school in the Southbay looking for love, but look at that crowd kept far from the stage for only $200 a ticket. ;)
Our dream has finally come true. See, I told you if we kept praying and spiking our hair.
Mother, the original Misfits are back to get everyone to sing along (Concert Archives.org)

Oh, hells yeah, I'll be there wearing a sexy outfit!
The Warped Tour is back at the Pomona Fairplex -- only now it's the once in a lifetime "NO VALUES" concert (so named after an old Black Flag song).

It's a Goldenvoice production (Coachella, Stagecoach, etc.), conveniently located in Los Angeles County, out by the fairgrounds, right next to Orange County, just off of the largest freeway in the country (the Interstate 10). It close enough for everyone in the IE and San Berdoo, too. The rest of the world is out of luck.

Decline of Western Civilization, 1
Imagine a show so big that it reunites the original Misfits (not just Danzig), Social Distortion. Iggy Pop (he's still among the living?), Bad Religion, Sublime [no Rome], FEAR [w/ Lee Ving], The Dillinger Escape Plan, Power Trip, The Damned, Suicidal Tendencies, The Vandals, Black Flag, L7, TSOL, [what no Germs or Circle Jerks?], Steve Ignorant of Crass, The Jesus Lizard, The Exploited, The Dead Milkmen, The Adicts, Agent Orange, Adolescents, Cro-Mags...

Hillbillies can't play piano! Where would they practice, the trailer park?
Nu-metal gets carried away with mega-fest in Vegas heat: SOAD, Korn...

Not just punk but ska and other genres, too. The lineup continues with Fishbone, The Aquabats, The Selecter, The Untouchables, The Skeletones, [what, no Save Ferris?], Ceremony, Fidlar, Hepcat, Joyce Manor, MS Paint, Scowl, Shattered Faith, Soul Glo, The Bronx, The Dead, The Lawrence Arms, The Mourning Noise, Turnstile, Viagra Boys [or is that the Cialis Girls?], and a bunch of other vital bands from way back when.

Who needs Barbie? Punky rules!
Anyone who thought going to Las Vegas to see the Sick New World Fest has got to think this is probably a good idea, too. It's bound not to have all the technical issues that event suffered from. And best of all the Dead Kennedy's original singer, Jello Biafra, will have a DJ set [of all Alternative Tentacles bands?] So expect some snark but precious little "California Uber Alles." It's not cheap, so plan ahead. More

The name of the show, we would guess, comes from an old Black Flag song:

Sounds True: When Grief Lands with Love

Ananda (Dharma Buddhist Meditation), Amber Larson, CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

"When Grief Lands with Love" with Sherry Walling
"Being able to sit in meaninglessness without losing a basic belief in meaning, it's a little bit tricky to do. But I think to have a worldview that says, 'At my core I believe that life is meaningful. I don't see it right now. I can't grasp it right now, but I believe that eventually I will."
—Dr. Sherry Walling, Ph.D.
 
(Sounds True) As a therapist, Dr. Sherry Walling knew all the "right" things to say to help people in grief. But when she lost her father to cancer and her brother to suicide within six months of each other, she had the unfortunate chance to encounter two types of mourning up close — the slowly unfolding terminal illness and the sudden and stigmatized death by suicide.

Touching Two Worlds
She had a profound realization: We’re getting grief all wrong. In this podcast, Sounds True Founder and Host Tami Simon speaks with Dr. Walling about her new book, Touching Two Worlds: A Guide for Finding Hope in the Landscape of Loss, and how we each have the power "to go all the way into our grief to find where it lands with love."

Tune in for this compassionate conversation on:
  • Navigating the duality that exists on the opposite spectrums of our lives
  • The healing practice of writing about our experiences of grief
  • Overcoming the stigma and silence around suicide
  • The just-world hypothesis and how traumatic events change our view
  • Accepting limitations in life while taking responsibility for finding our own sense of meaning
  • Accessing a sense of calm and grace to release the unresolved shock of grief
  • Finding closure versus the place "where grief lands with love"
  • AUDIO: LISTEN NOW
"With so many of the folks that I work with when they encounter their own grief," explains Dr. Walling, "it takes them down a dark, deep tunnel. And I'm hoping that by sharing a little bit of my own submersion in that world... I hope they'll know a little bit about what it takes to move through those feelings, to embrace those feelings, and to find their joy in the middle of those feelings."

Sounds TrueIf anyone is experiencing grief that is painfully recent or in the more distant past, we hope that this week’s conversation brings comfort and support.

With you on the journey,
Your friends at Sounds True

Pema Chodron and k.d. lang coming to UCLA

American Tibetan-Buddhist nun, bestselling author, and beloved meditation teacher Pema Chödrön has touched the lives of millions with her down-to-earth guidance for becoming happier, “saner” people in an ever-changing and challenging world.

Grammy award-winning recording artist and Buddhist practitioner k.d. lang has likewise been a source of inspiration worldwide through her music, songwriting, and soaring vocals.

When Things Fall Apart
An Evening with Pema Chödrön and k.d. lang is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join these two extraordinary women who are both uniquely gifted “instruments of the [Mahayana] dharma,” helping many to soften and open their hearts.

Moderated by Sounds True publisher and founder Tami Simon, this night of discovery and insight will support both The Pema Chödrön Foundation and Tools for Peace.

The evening will begin with a dialogue with Pema Chödrön, who will share her insights into life's “big questions” -- including how we can begin to face uncertainty and engage the unknown -- along with practical guidance in becoming more vulnerable, authentic, and present with ourselves and with each other.

Living Beautifully with Change
Then k.d. lang will join the conversation, speaking about her personal approach to creativity and the roles that trust, devotion, and surrender play in that process, the surprising parallels between the journeys of the artist and the meditator, and more.

The evening concludes with a special musical performance by k.d. lang, who will offer a selection of songs with a piano accompaniment, buoyed by the incredible acoustics of Royce Hall. More

"Fear and Fearlessness" (Pema Chödrön)

 
(Free Weekly Wisdom) Pema Chödrön describes a liberating way to relate to our fears -- not as something to try to get rid of or cast out, but as something to become very intimate with. In so doing, she explains, we come to find that the journey of knowing FEAR is in fact the journey of courage. From this wisdom, we learn to embrace the fullness of our experience in life. More
