Jagannath
——————
“He took back his tooth,”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Our new champion. Before he killed his opponent, he took back his tooth.”
“What’s his name?”
“Prisoner 11240?”
——————————————
“That’s him,” … “He’s the one, isn’t he?”
“Yes, that is the one,”
“I hear he answers to Jagannath,” … “They say it means—”
——————————————
“Chee moto, mando sangui.”
“Meaning?”
“ ‘The whole thing runs on blood.’ ”
——————————————
Lockdown is gooooooood, ya’ll, jfc.
Excuse me while I prepare to cry watching an old man have an existential crisis in a sand dune in two days.

BIPOC PEOPLE IN THE ROCK MUSIC INDUSTRY
Post inspired by, and is an extension of this lovely post about POC emo icons by @rpf-bat. If I get anything wrong, please feel free to correct me. I’m going to try to keep the bios relatively short and sweet so I don’t write an entire essay. All my information was found from Google/Spotify search results or my pre-existing knowledge. Feel free to DM me for specific sources. Fair Use for educational purposes, no copywright infringement intended.
Acrassicauda: Iraqi metal band from Baghdad. Andy Capper and Gabi Sifre wrote Heavy Metal in Baghdad: The Story of Acrassicauda about the band’s formation and their fight to be able to play the music they love.
Tumblr media
Booboo Stewart (Vic Lakota from The Relentless in Paradise City and American Satan, Seth Clearwater from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Jay from Disney’s Descendants, among many others): Blackfoot, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese.
Tumblr media
Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave, The Nightwatchman): biracial- Kenyan and white (quick side note: Morello has a bachelor’s degree in political science from Harvard, which I thought was really cool).
Tumblr media
The HU: Mongolian metal band. They’ve worked with the likes of Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach (The Wolf’s Totem), Lzzy Hale of Halestorm (Song of Women), and Danny Case of From Ashes to New (Yuve Yuve Yu).
Tumblr media
Jose “The Metal Ambassador” Mangin (radio personality/host and interviewer, Sirius XM): Mexican-American. Is often hosting on Sirius XM Octane and Liquid Metal.
Tumblr media
Meet Me @ The Altar: Pop punk trio made up entirely of BIPOC musicians Edith Johnson (Black), Téa Campbell (Black), and Ada Juarez (Latinx). Three of their popular songs are Hit Like a Girl, Feel a Thing, and Garden.
Tumblr media
Nandi Bushell: Zulu and white. The twelve year-old drummer has collaborated with Roman Morello, Tom Morello, Jack Black, and Greta Thunberg on Roman’s song The Children Will Rise Up! She has also played with the likes of Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, Roger Taylor of Queen, Ringo Starr of The Beatles, and Matt Helders of The Arctic Monkeys (and likely more that I’m missing).
Tumblr media
Joe Hahn (Linkin Park, Mr. Hahn): Korean-American. The man behind the band’s turntables and keyboard. Linkin Park’s Cure for The Itch on their album Hybrid Theory (2000) specifically highlights Hahn on the turntables within the first minute.
Tumblr media
Ayron Jones: African-American. Jones is gaining traction in the scene. Two songs of his I’d like to note are Spinning Circles and Mercy from his 2021 album Child of the State. He has toured with the likes of Shinedown (and makes a hilarious feature in one of the band’s Tiktoks) and will tour with The Pretty Reckless and Black Stone Cherry this year.
Tumblr media
BIPOC ICONS
Chuck Berry (The Chuck Berry Trio, Sir John’s Trio) Black. Widely successful, influential singer and guitarist known for Johnny B. Goode, You Can Never Tell, and No Particular Place To Go. Berry’s legacy is still deeply felt in his contemporaries today.
Prince (Prince and The Revolution, “The Artist Formerly Known as Prince,” 3rdeyegirl, Madhouse, 94 East, The Family) Black. Groundbreaking, inventive, and androgynous artist known for hits like When Doves Cry and Purple Rain. Prince has also written songs for others like Sinead O’Connor (Nothing Compares 2 U) and The Bangles (Manic Monday).
Jimi Hendrix (The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Band of Gypsys, Kings of Rhythm, Jimmy James and The Blue Frames): Black and Cherokee. Acknowledged by many to be one of the greatest (if not the greatest) guitarists of all time.
Slash (Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver, Spinal Tap, Road Crew, and entirely too many others to list): biracial- Nigerian and white. He’s the guitarist for Guns N Roses, whose hits include (but are not limited to) Welcome to The Jungle and Sweet Child O’ Mine. He joined his bandmates of Guns N’ Roses Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum in the early 2000s to form Velvet Revolver, recruiting Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots for vocals. He continues to release music, especially with Myles Kennedy of Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators and Alter Bridge (see Driving Rain).
Robert Trujilo (Metallica, Suicidal Tendencies, Mass Mental, Infectious Grooves): Mexican and unspecified Native American descent. Trujilo replaced Jason Newsted as guitarist for Metallica, starting as a full time recording member with St. Anger (2003).
Carlos Santana (Santana): Mexican-born Latinx. A legendary guitarist, Santana’s song Smooth featuring Matchbox Twenty’s Rob Thomas is still an incredibly popular hit to this day. A prolific part of the song is Santana’s guitar work at the beginning of and throughout the song. The riff is considered to rather iconic to rock music as a genre.
Freddie Mercury (Queen): Indian Parsi, born in Zanzibar. Mercury is also considered to be an LGBTQIA+ icon by many. He was a groundbreaking and charismatic performer (not to mention his prolific appearance and fashion). His absolute powerhouse of a voice behind Queen’s innumerable hits like Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, and We Are The Champions earned Mercury a deity-like status in both the music industry and pop culture as a whole. He continues to influence and inspire many in the decades since his death.
To all my BIPOC beauties/handsome people:
You exist in this industry. You belong. Do not let anyone in this scene erase or invalidate you.

This is a quick paint of a theme I get stuck on from time to time - mashup of ninja turtles and Warhammer 40k, this time Michelangelo as a Dreadnaught. Partly inspired by the #LastRonin comic.

Shout out photographer @samyuellmongkhounsavath for capturing so many great moments for the @abeathappening 5 year anniversary on 08.21.22 @producerowcafe . #repost @samyuellmongkhounsavath 5th Year Anniversary of @abeathappening @luvjonezmusic @freetillman @producerowcafe Development & Scans @bluemooncameralab 📷 K1000 🎞 Superia X-tra 400 Additional Commentary: Lately I've been taking it a lot slower both in the physical universe and mentally by honoring what I can and can't do with my current abilities in the present moment. Through this process, it allowed me to gain access to the present moment and lean into my true self a bit more which I'm always naturally terrified of and showing publicly coming from such a reserved / hypermasculine / patriarchial / culture. Yes, there's still much more growing, learning and unlearning to be done of course, but forgiveness and peace to a stretch of breath for the sticky parts is key and essential to living a healthy life. Both individually and as a whole community. At this particular event above, it was a pleasure to see a community of supporters and artists alike come together despite of insert "box-origin" titles and watch people just be themselves freely and openly in which I believe the energy was transferred into these photographs. 🙏🏽 #portland #ishootfujifilm #pentax #k1000 #livemusic #community #writing #diary #writingcommunity #yogi #hiphop #poetry #beatmaking #filmphotography #filmisnotdead #filmwave #filmphotography #portlandartist #bipocartists #music #pdx #cafe #goodvibes (at Produce Row Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiDpiA0vvow/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
