Undoubtedly one of the coolest names in electronica, Jack Dangers [aka Meat Beat Manifesto] now presents a legendary recording from a live performance of the soundtrack he created for the classic sci-fi movie, “Forbidden Planet.” Those familiar with MBM know how sci-fi Mr. Dangers grooves can be and this is no exception. Expect an almost astral journey to the planet for which this release is named.
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.
