we wouldn’t be able to tour without the support we see at the merch table and online through our merch tour. Like literally. That’s the money we use to put gas in the van. We wouldn’t make it to the next show without those grabbing merch!

Thank you to everyone who took the street in Austin after ICE mercenaries shot Wilber Rafael Garces Perez while he was making a DoorDash delivery. It is essential to mount an immediate response to acts of violence like this, the way people did when Alex Pretti was killed. crimethinc.com/alexpretti

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

NOT ENOUGH COMMOTION FOR THE DEATH OF THE HEART FLAG!!! Maybe it’s cause I was raised on the streets of diy punk tumblr in the early 2010s, but I LOVE when a band makes a wall flag I also designed this one! No Ai, I simply just learned a new skill, and it’s my first design! SO PICK IT UP MAYBE

🚀 Artist of the Day: Sun Ra The cosmic jazz pioneer who declared himself from Saturn, Sun Ra reimagined what sound, and existence, could be. Through his music, he built worlds of freedom, blending ancient Egypt, space, and Black futurism into one infinite vision. 🗃️ #CreatorsAtWork #BlackSky #Art

Color film still of Sun Ra from Space Is the Place, shot in the Bay Area in 1972 and released in 1974. He stands outdoors in full cosmic regalia in front of a white car, with a dry hillside, road, trees, and an intensely blue sky behind him. His black-and-gold striped pharaonic headdress rises into a huge gold orb framed by two tall antenna-like prongs. A broad jeweled collar rests over a striped blue, red, black, and white tunic, while an enormous yellow-orange cape catches the wind and spreads across the frame like solar flame. His shoes echo the same saturated palette. The image captures the central visual idea of Sun Ra’s world: ancient Egypt, outer space, Black self-invention, and theater fused into one living language. Born Herman Poole Blount in Birmingham in 1914, he remade himself as Le Sony’r Ra and insisted he came from Saturn. That claim was not simply a joke or stage gimmick. It became part of a larger philosophy in which myth offered Black people a way to imagine existence beyond the racial limits imposed by America. Space Is the Place turned that philosophy into cinema. Directed by John Coney and co-written by Sun Ra and Joshua Smith, the film follows Ra returning to Earth and proposing another planet as a home for Black people, with music itself serving as a vehicle of liberation. In one of the film’s most famous exchanges, he tells young people that he comes to them as “the myth,” because a society that denies Black people full reality has already pushed them outside its definitions. The clothing matters just as much as the dialogue. Sun Ra rejected the boundary between costume and everyday dress, and the Arkestra’s handmade metallic robes, Egyptian forms, sequins, and space-age headpieces transformed performance into what he called cosmo-drama. Here, standing beside an ordinary car on an earthly road, he looks deliberately impossible. That tension is the point: the future is being staged in the present. The roadside becomes a launchpad for freedom.Portrait of Sun Ra from the Space Is the Place era, standing against a deep, electric-blue background in a monumental red-and-gold robe. His body is almost completely enclosed by the garment, which falls to the floor in broad panels of crimson, bright gold and bronze. A black-and-gold striped pharaonic headpiece frames his face. Above it rises the same extraordinary emblem seen throughout this period: a large metallic orb held between two long upright prongs, glowing under the lights like an artificial sun. Sun Ra looks slightly upward, making the portrait feel less like a conventional musician photo than an icon from a civilization that does not yet exist. That effect was deliberate. By the early 1970s, Sun Ra had spent decades constructing a universe in which music, clothing, poetry, philosophy, theater, technology, and ancient Egyptian imagery belonged to the same project. He called his stage spectacles “cosmo-drama,” and he treated clothing as part of the sound itself, once declaring, “Costumes are music.” The Arkestra’s garments were often handmade from metallic or found fabrics, assembled with the same experimental spirit as the music. This visual language reached one of its clearest forms around Space Is the Place. Sun Ra and the Arkestra recorded the album in Chicago in October 1972; Blue Thumb released it in 1973. The film, made in 1972 and released in 1974, translated his mythology into an Afrofuturist science-fiction story about Black liberation, interplanetary migration, and music as a technology powerful enough to change reality. Decades before the word “Afrofuturism” was coined, Sun Ra was already practicing it as daily life. The orb, pharaoh stripes, and cosmic robe were not an escape from Black history. They connected ancient African symbolism to a future in which Black existence could exceed the categories imposed on it. In this portrait, Sun Ra does not dress like he came from another world. He stands as evidence that another world can be invented.Color performance photograph of Sun Ra and his Arkestra at Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor, Michigan on September 23, 1978 photographed by Leni Sinclair. Sun Ra stands near the front of the stage in a shimmering bronze-black robe, a beaded or metallic head covering framing his face. His right hand is raised as if cueing, blessing, conducting, or reaching into the air. Behind him, members of the Arkestra hold brass instruments, behind a steel sculpture of curved rods that arc overhead like trajectories, antennae, or orbital paths. Warm amber stage light turns the sculpture and Sun Ra’s robe into streaks of copper and fire against a dark background. The photograph captures the Arkestra at a moment when a Sun Ra concert had long since become far more than a conventional jazz set. Music, costume, movement, poetry, chanting, props, lighting, and spectacle were fused into what Ra called cosmo-drama, a ritual designed not simply to entertain an audience but to alter its sense of what was possible. This performance took place during the 1978 Ann Arbor Jazz Festival at Hill Auditorium, a festival dedicated that year to Duke Ellington. That context matters. Sun Ra revered the big-band tradition, especially Ellington and Fletcher Henderson, while pushing it through free improvisation, electronics, unusual instruments, theatrical staging, and what sounded to many listeners like music from another century. His work was not a rejection of jazz history so much as an argument that its history already contained the future. The steel sculpture surrounding him makes that idea visible. Traditional brass players remain in the frame, but their stage has become a cosmic environment of curves, metal, shadow, and motion. Sun Ra’s raised hand sits at the center, directing both orchestra and image. By 1978 he had spent decades asking audiences to imagine Black life beyond earthly restrictions. Here the concert hall becomes his spacecraft, the Arkestra its crew, and performance itself the engine.Square cover image for a 2024 reissue of Sun Ra and His Arkestra’s Jazz in Silhouette. A close portrait of Sun Ra fills the frame against a hot pink-red background bordered in yellow. His face is black-and-white, while oversized rounded sunglasses glow yellow-orange over his eyes. He wears a zebra-striped cap, a patterned collar, a purple metallic-looking top, and a large sun-shaped pendant at his chest. At upper left, bold yellow lettering reads “SUN RA,” with smaller text naming his Arkestra and the album title JAZZ IN SILHOUETTE beneath it. The psychedelic color treatment reflects the cosmic Sun Ra most listeners now recognize, but this is not the album’s original 1959 cover. It belongs to a modern 20th Century Masterworks reissue, released on blue vinyl in 2024. That distinction opens the deeper story of the record. Jazz in Silhouette was recorded in Chicago on March 6, 1959 and issued that May on Saturn, the independent label Sun Ra built with Alton Abraham to release music the established record business was unlikely to support. The earliest-known sleeve was hand-screened and credited to H. P. Corbissero, a name researchers have suggested may have been Sun Ra himself. Musically, the album stands at a threshold. The Arkestra still swings with the precision of the big-band and bebop traditions Ra knew deeply, but compositions such as “Enlightenment,” “Saturn,” and the expansive “Ancient Aiethopia” already point toward stranger harmonic, rhythmic, and philosophical territory. Sun Ra was not abandoning jazz’s past. He was treating it as raw material for another future. Saturn itself was part of the experiment: records appeared in small runs, were sold at performances, re-pressed, relabeled, and sometimes given new handmade art. This modern cover therefore creates a kind of time fold. The cosmic icon looks back at one of the records where his musical universe was still taking shape, reminding us that the spaceship was being built long before most people noticed it.
