Kicking & Dancing: The Political/Poetical María Magdalena Campos-Pons
For Campos-Pons, Our America is important for a community that is often “undefined and without context,” she says. Latino Americans are “like the universe,” Campos-Pons says. “Look at how many galaxies, how many stars, came out of [the Big Bang]. The idiosyncratic physical and cultural makeup of the Latino people—their identity—is like that: a mix of many things that become one.”

Ride Bikes, Damn It: Jake Matsukawa Skidding the Streets
Jake Matsukawa of 3Bs Krew has been thrashing around the city for seven years, and his reckless and punked-out style goes to show that the more times your crank makes a revolution and the more times your middle finger goes in the air, the better you know your city. I sat down with Matsukawa, track and fixie rogue and one of the original organizers of the 3Bs Krew, to see how the mastermind has launched their races and footage collection.
Kevin Kirk Benefit Shows
Kirk is a great guy to visit and be around, and I am really glad that he is recovering well. I’m glad to have him around to be “peddlin’ evil.” I look forward to see him doing it for years to come! Hopefully, we can pay back Kevin’s generous and hospitable nature by bringing the noise and raising some money for a true SLC icon. Cheers!
The Utah Symphony and the Godfather of Metal
There are quite a few similarities in the performance and music of classical pieces and heavy metal: the drama, complex songwriting, wide range of instrument use and epic subject matter, to name a few. Surprisingly, even the live classical scene itself has, at times, resembled the familiar passion of a metal show.
Contributor Limelight: Henry Glasheen
Tales of yore speak of a noble scribe rising from the Bonneville wastes who’ll climb SLUG’s ranks and claim a mighty metal throne over our fair city.
