Greetings all! Please join the Greater Boston Black Alumni of Dartmouth Association for another Chat & Chew. We’ve had an excellent beginning with our April 4th & May 9th meetings, and created working groups for service activities, social events, fundraising, and the history of blacks at Dartmouth. There are many ways you can connect and help us move forward! At our June 13th meeting, we will continue to flesh out working group plans and schedule summer activities. Whether this is your first meeting or a follow up, we greatly appreciate your input as we develop a strong local black alumni community in support of past, current and future students of color at Dartmouth. There are two options to connect: in-person at MIT Upward Bound, and virtually, via Google+, which allows for real-time video and voice communication as well as document sharing. To connect via this method, you will need a relatively current computer with a good Internet connection. We are grateful to for the use of their computer laboratory! A light supper and soft drinks will be served, courtesy of Ronn Crichlow, ’72 and the MIT Upward Bound Center, and there is no cost to attend. If joining via Google+, please register so we can send you a Google+ invitation and to assure you have the necessary software installed installed (and feel free to have your supper by your computer ?). This event is open to all alumni of Dartmouth College. If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact Ben Moynihan '87 or Ronn Crichlow '72.
The MIT postdoctoral association is pleased to announce the first annual Postdocs Share Their Science event. This is an MIT-wide poster session for postdocs from all departments, where you will have the opportunity to present your research to the entire MIT community.

Curren$y
Curren$y's career flight plan has not come without a few layovers along his burgeoning career. Initially signed to fellow New Orleans rapper C-Murder's Tru Records in 2001, Curren$y was brought over to Master P's New No Limit Records in 2002 after the founder was sentenced to jail. From 2004-2007, Curren$y enjoyed a stint on Cash Money Records as part of Lil Wayne's Young Money Entertainment before venturing out on his own, releasing a series of mixtapes and focusing on his Jet Life apparell and lifestyle brand. In 2009, the effort paid off as Curren$y, in recognition of his talent and drive, was hand-picked to grace the cover of XXL's "Top 10 Freshman" issue amongst the likes of B.O.B, Kid Cudi, Wale and others. Later that year, the now independent rapper released his debut album This Ain't No Mixtape and the follow-up Jet Files through Amalgam Digital. In 2010, Curren$y released his Pilot Talk and Pilot Talk II albums through Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder Damon Dash's BluRoc Records distributed by Def Jam Recordings. The two mixtapes moved an unprecedented 40K and 30K sold units with minimal effort and has helped the talented lyricist generate over $750K in touring on his own. Curren$y is now gearing up to release his fifth and sixth studio albums Muscle Car Chronicles and the anticipated Pilot Talk III. Fans eager for the new music can should keep an ear out for a new mixtape produced by infamous producer Alchemist (Eminem, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Ghostface Killah) entitled Covert Coup which will be available April 19th on iTunes, just in time for the 4/20 holiday. The release of the mixtape will coincide with a promo tour that begins that night in New Orleans.

Yeasayer's third album, Fragrant World, is a hulking beast of a record. Keyboards clank and wheeze, tiny claps stumble against busted drum machines, and there's very little obvious guitar. It's an album that grapples with the schizophrenia of the modern world by gathering piles of electronics and molding them into something huge and often gorgeous. After touring endlessly in support of 2010's Odd Blood, Chris Keating, Ira Wolf-Tuton and Anand Wilder holed up in Gary's Electric Studios in Greenpoint, Brooklyn to record Fragrant World, working away as the borough transitioned from fall to winter. While Odd Blood played with electronic textures and future paranoia, Fragrant World fully immerses itself in those themes, virtually dripping with worry, love, and concern for the planet we live on. Keating bleats and yammers his lyrics—sometimes, like on "Longevity," piling so many effects on his voice that the music takes on an otherworldly sheen. In direct contrast are Wilder's vocal contributions, which hover serenely over droning synths on "Blue Paper," and later weave in and out of staccato hand claps, and what sounds like a vintage computer dying, on "Devil and the Deed." Across Fragrant World's 11 tracks, genre mashing is taken from a broad spectrum of sources: updated takes on dusky pop, jittery funk, exotic keyboard experimentation, haunting whirs of backward organ, exuberant bass, etc. "I wanted to make a record that was legitimately, to use a bad word, funky," Chris Keating told Under the Radar magazine. Even at it's darkest, that statement holds true. On their first single and album centerpiece, "Henrietta," Keating is in great form. The track is loosely based on Henrietta Lacks, a woman whose cells were cultured by a doctor in the 1950s without her permission. Those cells would later go on to be the most commonly used human cell line for medical research. Keating teases out universal ideas from bizarrely specific moments in history, repeating the refrain, "we will live on forever," referencing Lacks' story directly, contrasted against a darkly optimistic worldview. It's a risky move, but it pays off. It's a testament to their sound and the unique identity they've carved out for themselves in the music community. They've managed to grow and expand into what they are now without losing touch with what made them so compelling in the first place: their willingness to pull from every musical source imaginable. Whether it's the warped and clipped alien-dancefloor banger "No Bones" that has strong ties to Timbaland's most experimental work for Aaliyah and Missy Elliott, or the gothic, almost industrial pulse of "Reagan's Skeleton," Yeasayer are truly making 21st century music. Couched in healthy fear, yet unafraid to move forward and expand, pulling in new influences just as frequently as new worries, Yeasayer have created a difficult, dense and beautiful record. It's as much a synthesis of the last three decades of pop music as it is a new way of grappling with the end of time. Fragrant World was produced by Yeasayer.

Join us for a night of finger picking, foot stomping, homegrown blues curated by award-winning blues guitarist Peter Parcek. Each band is putting a fresh spin on the tried and true blues tradition. Like Tokyo Tramps, hailing from the Land of the Rising Run, who first came to Louisiana to find the heart of American Rock and Delta Blues. Boston Trio, Ten Foot Polecats, bring their own flair to roots music that is best described as punk-blues and gutbucket soul. Semi-finalist at the 2008 & 2010 International Blues Challenge, Big Jon Short, rounds out the night with his “high flyin’ acoustic guitar work,” and his rich vocals reminiscent of, “Blind Willie McTell-meets-Tommy Johnson.” (Art Tipaldi - BostonBlues.com)
