The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise has a long and storied history of sequels, remakes, and reboots. The sheer number of new timelines is convoluted even in this age of constantly reviving long-dead franchises for nostalgia’s moneymaking powers.

In the bleak months of February, some people may find themselves in the midst of a mid-winter slump, searching for sanctuary within a harsher climate. This month’s Artist of the Month, singer and cellist Kelsey Lu, sings bewitchingly about the season, “Sudden shiver, taking a dip in a river in winter. Cold breeze caressing frozen cheeks.” Their most recent projects, Blood and Hydroharmonia, soothe the soul through the winter months, bringing promises of healing and hope.

One voice. One mic. One woman. The daughter of a revered background vocalist for Elvis Presley, Cissy Houston, and the cousin of Dionne Warwick was inevitably destined for a career in the music business. But I don’t think the future Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee could have imagined selling over 200 million records worldwide and becoming the blueprint for singers to emulate everywhere. She is a success story that numerous trivial biopics and documentaries fail to display. This month marks the 10th anniversary of the death of the megastar, and in her honor, I have chosen to remember the life of the woman simply known as “The Voice”: Whitney Houston.

Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar — need I say more? With some of the biggest hip-hop heavyweights combining forces to put on a performance, it’s like the Avengers assembled on stage. Displaying the signature Pepsi Halftime Show logo in space and then zeroing in on Compton, Los Angeles, the camera fades out to disclose a map of the city on Dr. Dre’s palm. He then moves his fingers up the soundboard to initiate mixing beats. He elevates from inside the stage, to front and center. He grabs the audience’s attention as “The Next Episode” feat. Snoop Dogg blares throughout SoFi Stadium’s packed 70,000+ seats. We are then met with the man, the myth, the Dogg himself. He’s dripped out in royal blue, highlighter yellow, and a gold-designed crewneck and sweatpants, along with matching solid gold sunglasses and microphone because c’mon, why wouldn’t he? The camera zooms out to reveal the evening’s performance setup, which includes five white stages — representative of houses with each of them having their front wall missing — connected side by side with three Chevrolet Impala Lowriders, owned by Members of the Public Enemy Car Club of Los Angeles, in the field in front of three of the stages.

Music is a universal language. Of its many genres, one sticks out among the rest: jazz. The sound is crisp, coolness personified. Jazz was created by Black Americans in New Orleans, Louisiana’s red-light district in the 1920s. It quickly became the ambient art form of its time. Jazz is a mix of ragtime and blues that pulls from African, Latin, and European influences. The 369th Regiment Army Band led by composer James Reese Europe in the Harlem HellIfighters are credited for spreading the new cultural expression internationally.
