The Ivory Bills are a power trio playing the original songs of bassist/singer James Velvet. Johnny Java plays drums, and John L plays electric guitar. The three musicians are mainstays of the New Haven, Connecticut rock'n'roll scene. In various combinations they've played in punk/pop/roots/alt country/original bands from New York City to Boston for decades. They "stopped believing in Santa Claus" years ago, but they bring a professional work ethic to their passionate avocation. "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right," says drummer Java. "I'd always either backed up other singers on bass, or fronted my own bands on rhythm guitar," says Velvet. "I felt it was time for a change, and I like the idea of a trio. It's one or two less schedules and egos to deal with, and a little bit more space for each instrument." John L was the right guitarist for The Bills. His crunchy, thick sound is self-taught, unique, and works well in a trio. "For Rhythmic Jet Ear Games I went back and listened to Clapton's work on the original John Mayall & The Blues Breakers album. Not that we're a blues band, but I wanted that combination of ripping leads and big chords." Johnny Java picked up drums a couple of bands ago after playing his first instrument, bass, for years with Velvet in their legendary Elm City band, The Mocking Birds. He's a rhythmatist. "I like the basics in drums. Anybody from Ringo to Keith Carlock. Look for the right beat for the song, and don't embellish too much after that." As for Velvet's songs - "I try not to pigeon-hole myself. I respect Lennon-McCartney and Dylan for writing in many different styles while working on their own sound." Mick Skidmore in Relix described Velvet's tunes as ". . .good-hearted rock and roll with integrity and humor. . . and no small degree of musical sophistication and imagination." The Bills were able to hone their sound before recording Rhythmic Jet Ear Games at a steady stream of gigs around their hometown, including a residency at New Haven's number one club, cafe nine. "It's always good to gig tunes out before recording them. And we got to figure out what we sounded like before seeing the red light go on in the studio," says John L. But Rhythmic Jet Ear Games is a studio project, not just a document of a live performance. It was recorded by Scott Amore and Greg DiCrosta at Scott's InnerSpaceSoundLabs, a large, open room, a la Ethan Johns and Tape-Op Magazine aesthetics. The band tracked live and then added percussion, harmony, a few extra guitars, and a little keyboard. The result is issued on Thin Man Music, a friendly collection of Southern Connecticut bands run by Rob "The Thin Man" DeRosa. "It Rocks. The Bills rock. I hope people across the nation get to enjoy what we've got right here."

Great read!
Format: Kindle
In addition to being an engaging lecturer, Stoermer writes beautifully! “Again and again, people confronted the distance between the compact as advertised and authority as exercised.” Gorgeous prose and achingly painful history.

No Index or footnotes
Format: Paperback
I have been following Prof Stoermer’s videos preceding this book and pre-ordered it on that basis. I to read it but am a bit disappointed and disturbed that there is nothing by way of an index or footnotes, and no reference I can find that they are available elsewhere. My 3 therefore, has nothing to do with the substance and will update this review after I read it. But I don’t understand the absence of such material.

Every american should be encouraged to read this text
Format: Kindle
This book had a profound impact on me. It has changed how I view all political discussions, history discussions, policy discussions, and race discussions. As a Hispanic Caucasian, I was acutely unaware of much of America's racist history. I knew the obvious examples, but this book really shows how extensive the racism is and its profound effects that are still heavily in effect today.
Kendi's thesis is short and simple: racist ideas were created to justify racist policies. This is counter to the common argument that ignorance and racism spurs racist policies. Kendi lays out his main thesis at the beginning of the book and follows it up with example after example to back it up. Keeping the thesis and definition of racism simple really helps emphasize Kendi's point throughout the book.
This book is also thorough; so much history is covered by this book. I spent a lot of time looking up some historical events or figures in more detail on Wikipedia to get a fuller picture. If you are unfamiliar with American history, then expect to move very slowly through the text as you look everything up for proper context.
I absolutely love this book and strongly encourage everyone to read it. However, I do have a few gripes with it:
- Kendi often misled me with his wording or juxtaposition of statements. I understand he is trying to make a statement, but I wish he wouldn't do this. One example that comes to mind is Roosevelt's naming of the White House. Kendi makes it seem like Roosevelt named it the White House after the public uproar over his invitation of Booker T. Washington over for dinner. However, there doesn't appear to be any evidence to support this, and there is some indication the White House was already referred to by that name well before the dinner. To Kendi's credit, he doesn't explicitly say the naming was done to appease the public, he just points out that it happened and people were still upset. Another example is his mention of black unemployment rates rising sharply in the early 1980s. This is true, but all unemployment rates rose during that time due to the recession. Yes, the black unemployment rate was worse, but he doesn't make that point: he only mentions the black unemployment rates. So as a reader you have to be careful of the facts you internalize from the book.
- The organization of the book didn't really do anything for me. He tries to break down the text into 4 main sections, each focusing on a different historical figure. However, the focus on the figures didn't really contribute much, in my opinion, to his thesis. It brought some organization to his book, but not much. I would have preferred he spent more of the book going into details of some of the more significant policies or events than to keep looping the historical figure back in.
- Text can read a bit haphazardly at times. There are certain sections of the book where I feel Kendi is jumping around history pretty quickly to different events and it becomes difficult for me to follow. Eventually he gets around to making a point, but it usually takes too long for me to fully grasp it at the moment. I have to often re-read these sections a second time to really get it.
Again, please buy this book and read it. We would all be better off to know this history and the racist policies behind it.
