File away your Air and Cornelius and ready your DJ dance set with the kitschy sounds of German Gay Disco. While much of Stereo Total is cheesy filler, there is some outstanding retro synth dance candy amongst the nineteen tracks on the latest release by this Berlin Duo. Think multi-lingual Kraftwerk electro-pop Euro-trash for the Pet Shop Boys Underworld. In case you were wondering, the title track is about batting ones eyelashes to attract a latex clad soul lover. –Herman Snell & Alex Slawson
Mississippi native Donna Ladd and partner Todd Stauffer founded the Jackson Free Press in 2002 in the capital city. The heavily awarded local newspaper did many investigations heralded across the state and nation and served as a paper of record due to its diversity, inclusion, in-depth reporting and deep connection to readers and dedication to narrative change in and about Mississippi. In 2022, the nonprofit Mississippi Free Press, founded by Ladd and JFP Associate Publisher Kimberly Griffin in 2020, purchased the journalism assets and archives of the Jackson Free Press. A Google grant through AAN Publishers enabled Newspack's integration of the JFP archives into the Mississippi Free Press website to become part of a more searchable archive of recent Mississippi history and essential journalism.
