NOIR CITY: BOSTON Co-presented by the Film Noir Foundation: You’re not sure why she asked you to the NOIR CITY: BOSTON series at Brattle. Out of all the private eyes out there, she came to you, smoky voiced and mysterious. Turner Classic Movies host Eddie Muller stands in the front, introducing another movie, another hard-boiled detective, another femme fatale, another crooked cop. You know this was a bad idea, but you also know that you don’t care. Muller quits talking and the lights dim. You smell her when: 6/07-09 perfume first and before you know it, she’s sitting next to you: another dangerous where: woman. She’s trouble, or its harbinger. The Brattle Theater screen flickers, stark images in shadow and smoke come to life. The whir of how much: the projector clicks along, a grotesque $9-15 counterbalance to the irregularity of life. There’s nothing rhythmic to life, it’s all just waiting for the next little chaos—waiting for the picture to start, waiting for the next smoke, the next drink. Waiting for the bomb to drop. And of course waiting on a dame … there’s always a dame … None of that matters though, the trouble or the bomb. For now you settle in. Nothing like an old black-and-white to help with the waiting. —Nicholas Perry
How to live a zero waste lifestyle Hello my trashy babies! I’m all juiced up on estrogen, in the process of donating my eggs to someone who can’t immaculately conceive. Maybe it’s the hormone injections, maybe it’s the growing body of scientific evidence pointing to imminent ecological collapse, but I am feeling some next-level grief over climate change lately. And so when my sonogram technician said I’m filled with more eggs than an escaped pet python at an Easter egg hunt, I couldn’t help but wonder: what kind of twisted, climate-changin’ world am I bringing these eggs into? TIT has covered the horrors of food waste (see How to Fux with Climate Change by Reducing Food Waste on the Hassle website). Did you know that half the solid waste created globally is compostable? Most of it ends up in landfills, where it creates methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. Composting allows nutrients from organic waste to return to our soil, sequestering carbon in the process. The people of Copenhagen haven’t sent organic waste to landfills in over 25 years; instead, they turn it into nutrient-dense humus for food production. Well, someone should tell the Danes that no one likes a smarty-pants! How to make a cheap, rat-proof compost bin and lower your carbon emissions, so maybe the future will be an OK place, but even if it isn’t, at least you’ll learn something useful that doesn’t involve tapping your fingers against a cell phone: 1. Acquire a metal trash can with lid ($25 new). Try to find one second-hand via freecycle or craigslist. 2. Drill a bunch of half-inch holes in the sides, bottom, and lid. This allows moisture, air, worms, and insects to travel through the can, while regulating heat. 3. Bury it halfway in the ground. 4. Add wet and dry organic materials: food scraps, coffee grounds/ filters, eggshells, fruits, vegetables, bread, yard waste, torn-up cardboard, newspaper, pizza boxes, egg cartons, paper bags/towels/ napkins, etc. 5. Turn it with a shovel once in a while to add air. In 10 - 12 months, shovel out the contents. Separate the finished “humus” (the dark dirt at the bottom) from the still-composting stuff. Use it in houseplants, raised beds, have a humus fight, snort it with your terrible band in the bathroom of O’Briens, I don’t fucking care. —Melanie Bernier

This two-day festival will take place Friday night and all day Saturday and Sunday.

There will be dances representing cultures from all over the world, spanning all ages and abilities. Capping both Saturday and Sunday night is a ticket showing of the aMaSSit choreographers from the 2019 Spring season ($13 GA in advance, $17 at the door, $7 BDA/Student/Senior/Military) when: There is a PDF on the Dance 6/21-23 Complex’s website that details a schedule of (SO MANY) events. Attend lectures, where: take a class, watch performances, or take Mass Ave, part in an art exhibition. Get your heart Central Sq. rate up with high energy workshops, or how much: expand your perception of movement most and performance.

Non-Corporate Pride Events!
It’s June, and you know what that means… IT’S PRIDE SEASON. If you’re bursting at the seams with pride, so much so that just one parade isn’t enough for you, we’ve got you covered. On June 7, the Friday night before the Pride parade, there will be a Dyke March in the Boston Common—can’t pass that up. The march describes itself as a “non-commercial, intersectional, and fundamentally grassroots alternative to Boston’s Pride celebration” —a great alternative for those of us who despise the corporate appropriation permeating many pride parades across the country. Finish out your noncorporate pride weekend experience at our Black Market Flea, happening Sunday June 9 at the Cambridge Community Center from 12-6. This market specifically prioritized LGBTQ+ vendors so that is one way to directly support these communities (AND maybe get a handmade rainbow colored jockstrap in the meantime!!) For those interested less in celebration and more in finding support, the BLiSS Bisexual Social & Support group is meeting on June 5th from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Boston Living Center on 29 Stanhope Street, Boston. These meetings take place on the first Wednesday of every month (in case you can’t make this one) and give an opportunity for those who think they might be bisexual or attracted to people of more than one sex or gender to talk things out in a safe and helpful environment. Email bliss@biresource.net for more information about the group. Then, on June 13, the folks at BLiSS (what an acronym!) will be hosting another support group, this time for young people between the ages of 20 and 29, at the Blue Shirt Cafe on 424 Highland Ave. in Somerville, from 7 to 9 p.m. For more information, email youngblissboston@ gmail.com. —Karine Vann
The Big 3 is our top music, art and film events for the month and Boston Art Music & Soul (BAMS) Fest has been slotted for this since it’s debut in June 2018. This is far and away the most important cultural event our city has. From the location, to the team, to the lineup, BAMS Fest is the epitome of intentionality. Taking place in the breathtaking, underutilized public space of Franklin Park this completely free event features a carefully curated incredible lineup of music, art, food and vendors presented by an impeccable group of community leaders. Founder Cat Morris did it right from the start: She built a team of informed and essential Boston creatives to put together an accessible and relevant celebratory event designed to break down racial and social barriers to the arts across Greater Boston. Our city needed when: this. How can new and 6/22 emerging artists strive for greatness if they can’t see where: Franklin Park what’s possible? Now that Playstead Field there is a marquee event that honors, celebrates and how much: promotes the contributions Free! of rising and legendary African-American musicians, Boston artists and communities of color can visualize, achieve and maintain success on their own terms. BAMS Fest is more than an event, it is a movement. A movement that everyone feels part of - from the airwaves of 97.7 all the way down to the open mics and brand new artists getting their first taste of cultural independence. So head down to Franklin Park June 22nd and see what all the buzz is about if you don’t already know. Full lineup and more info at www.bamsfest.org. —Compass Staff
Bored of Directors? Become one. What up, What up, Compass readers! It’s been too long. In fact, I asked to do NFTC this month to reflect on the team and how 2019 is the first year I haven’t touched the production of this newspaper since starting the damn thing in 2010. Kind of a big deal, no? The past year has been monumentally transformative for us and as always, it boils down to THE PEOPLE. New Bostonians became interns, compass readers became volunteers and more individuals were empowered to lead. This goes for all Brain Arts Org projects, but let’s focus on the paper for now. Check it. Kevin Dacey went from reader to volunteer to Editor-In-Chief. Phoebe Delmonte went from intern to Chief Designer. Claudia Chick went from intern single-handedly launching our new social media persona to full-time position at her hometown newspaper! This is the kind of growth and personal development we hope to inspire as BAO volunteers. That’s why we call it conscious cultural empowerment because you can make a difference just by showing up and thinking critically about your scene. This is the power of volunteerism, people. Now, I and other key volunteers are focusing on continuing to serve the public as Brain Arts Org’s board of directors and our mission to create platforms for fringe artistic communities. You can read the longer version of this article—where I talk about our search for board members, the state of Brain Arts and the power (and privilege) of volunteering online—at bostonhassle.com. —Sam Potrykus

Viscous Verses: Paris, after all.
Now that I'm here in Paris, après Hudson ennui, après tu, all those dreams left dangling, après Bon Marché and the effervescent Flore, the après blahs. God only knows what's lurking in your after-thoughts, your forgetfulness! Those dreams denied, those email meanderings. Those dancing shadows at the jardin Luxembourg, those ancient pavements in the Vie. Those window dressings, whisperings. Those flutterings of finches' wings.

Like a Mandela effect I was trying to remember the 90’s Jock Jam classic, Whoot! (There it is), or was it Whoomp! (There it is?) I couldn’t remember which one, so when I went to look it up I found there was both. The tracks are very similar, released a month apart and both were recorded in Atlanta. I thought what’s the story here? Whoot! was the first one to be released. It was performed and written by Jacksonville based act 95 South. When compared to Whoomp, it’s lyrics are raunchier, a faster tempo and a heavier Miami Bass beat. The song was recorded at Digital Edge studios, apparently one of the first studios to use Pro-Tools. According to 95 South, after the single was recorded, they went to a strip club where Cecil Glenn was DJing and gave him a copy of the single. Cecil Glenn was a member of Tag Team, the group that would record the more successful Whoomp! (There It Is). Allegedly, Tag Team knew the engineer at Digital Edge and went into the studio pulled up 95 South masters and recreated the track with more radio friendly lyrics. 95 South, having only used tape before, didn’t realize the CD given to them of their masters wasn’t the only copy. Both songs shot up the charts but Whoomp! prevailed and reached #2 on Billboard. The song as of 2012 was still generating $500,000 of revenue a year. 95 South still sold millions of records but felt like they could have sold more if they didn’t have to compete with Whoomp as there was lots of confusion for buyers at the record stores. According to Carlos Spencer, member of 95 South, they decided not to take legal action and settled out of court with Tag Team, “It wasn’t worth it, by the time we went to court, and figured everything out, the attorneys would be the ones who got rich.” —Zachary Fairbrother

Rad apps:
The Audubon Bird Guide App
I fucking love birds- I think they’re bizarre, I mean, have you ever just spent a lot of time looking at or interacting with one? Boston has all sorts- from the table-hopping House Sparrow to the quiet yet prevalent Mourning Dove- did you know that doves and pigeons are scientifically classified the same? Though Rock Pigeons are the most common in the city. And lets not forget about the swans in the park or those super weird ducks. Now that I think about it, what type of ducks are they? If only I had a complete guide to birds right at my finger tips including a super useful bird guide including detailed and comprehensive pictures, sound clips, and interesting information? Have I got the app for you! The Audubon Bird Guide, available on both Android, IOS and online at https://audubon.org/bird-guide is an absolute treasure trove of dank birds. Also hey, the bird guide has lots of information about bird conservation and one of my favorite parts is that you can actually upload your own findings and information. Yes, this wouldn’t be Rad Apps if I weren’t suggesting something cool you could contribute to, and what could be more important than assisting in bird research? That’s hypothetical, there’s nothing more important than bird research. Now that summer’s officially here and walking outside is enjoyable, why don’t you spend your waking hours intensely researching avians? —DLM
No really, I can't see you.
