Happy 4th of July weekend to USA readers. And to everyone, here’s an “off topic” post, unless of course you like photo, film, music, or pop culture, and then this is right on topic.
Following a wave of requests, this is a re-broadcast of a recent popular chasejarvisLIVE where I played host to two amazing and culturally relevant figures: emcee RA Scion and writer, filmmaker, and critic Charles Mudede. This video is a round table discussion that includes film, photo, and video-specific information, but since all the world (and our creative inspiration) transcends, or at least is informed by- pop culture, this piece and other forthcoming pieces like it has a far wider goal of sharing the sphere of things that inspire me, things I think you might find interesting or inspirational as well.
The round table discussion is followed by a live performance from RA Scion (Common Market, Victor Shade) doing some recent stuff off VICTOR SHADE at about the 1:48 mark.
PS and importantly ….the wifey commentary on twitter was gold.
I liked it …except the slightly embarrassing bit where you mention me being the white girl standing out in my village. I didnt expect that to get read out…ouch. I was absorbed in the idea of difference at the time. Now Im absorbed in the idea of (myself)…sorry I mean Tribes, it all fits….like the tribalism of hiphop and the tribalism of where I live. Its interesting.
I also didnt hold it against him for saying he hated MIA. Hes a critic. They’re critical.
I listen to Aussie hiphop . We have some groups I like. But the territory speak, its yawn producing and frankly sometimes just a pissing contest. I wish music wasnt like that.
So anyway I ramble.
For giggles about music go here…note the fixed gear at the end!

Awesome show Chase. This is cool that you’re bringing arts together.
I think he shoots B&W so he won’t have to worry about matching colours from different cameras, read that somewhere.
Anyhow, thanks so much Mr. Chase for sharing all these wonderful videos with us, I’ve learnt so much awesome stuff since finding your blog.
Cheers!
Chase, thank-you for bringing these people together – I just discovered Victor Shade (actually from one of your other videos) and he blew me away! Really inspiring stuff, and a real fresh sound – as a musician first, I instantly connected with the production, the message and the ‘character’ of what RA’s doing.
As someone newly trying to find their way in the visual world, it’s nice to hear Charles Mudede’s take on the things – and as always, you’re own opinions/knowledge/enthusiasm are always welcome.
Thanks again, and best wishes,
Toby
