Lengthy strikes. Layoffs. Hikes in subscription fees. It was a long year in media. TV critic Eric Deggans looks ahead at what's coming next, and — believe it or not — it's not all bad.

This event takes place at the Stage Room, UC San Diego. Young, Indonesian, hijab-wearing, female metal trio Voice Of Baceprot (VOB) have been covering the members’ favourite metal songs since they learned to play their instruments. Their prowess at playing these covers got them attention from fans and media worldwide and enabled them to develop to the point where they could, as a band, create original songs. Consisting of Marsya (vocals and guitar), Widi (bass), and Sitti (drums), the trio first met when they were still junior high school students in their hometown of Singajaya, a small village two hours’ drive away from the city of Garut, West Java. The word “baceprot” from their band name comes from the Sundanese language meaning “noisy”. It was chosen to represent the type of music that they play. Since their formation, VOB have become a point of discussion for a host of renowned global media, including The New York Times, NPR, BBC, DW and The Guardian, featuring them in the pages of their online publication. VOB were recently named by heavy metal and rock magazine Metal Hammer as “the Metal Band the World Needs Right Now”. Connect with VOB on Social Media! Facebook | Instagram | Twitter

Officials say the Kaliwa Dam will help alleviate an impending water shortage in the capital that's being exacerbated by climate change. But the project is plagued with controversies and questions.

While conducting opportunistic regional survey in summer 2022 in the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, Belize, Dr. Jon Spenard’s Rio Frio Regional Archaeological Project was informed of a series of granitic rock debitage piles nearby. Investigations revealed them to be ancestral Maya quarries and ground stone tool workshops, the first of their kind recorded anywhere in the Maya region. Naming the site the Buffalo Hill Quarries, the project mapped over a dozen extraction features (quarry pits and cut faces) surrounded by debitage piles spread over an area of approximately 16 hectares (40 acres). The site continued, but time did not permit its full documentation. Noted throughout the mapped area were dozens of production tools and discarded objects in various stages of reduction. Aided by data from an aerial LiDAR survey of the region, the project returned in summer 2023 to finish mapping the site and conduct test excavations on an extraction locus to investigate ancestral Maya quarrying methods and techniques. In this talk, Dr. Spenard will present the results of those two field seasons, introduce more results from the LiDAR survey, and discuss the next stages of the project, including examining who the quarry workers were and how their products may have been distributed. This event will be held on Zoom. For more information visit: sandiegoarchaeology.org Stay Connected on Facebook

Postponed for one year courtesy of Omicron, Joe has pulled this show together once again! If there was a San Diego Folk All Stars team, this would make a good core. Who knows if they will bring in any ringers the day of the show? This one may sell out; we suggest buying your tickets online. The first 100 people at the concert will receive a free commemorative CD! Java Joe’s hasn’t had a physical location for a few years, but it was always about the music and the community anyway. Running a coffee shop for decades was a labor of love, not a lucrative endeavor. This night we’ll celebrate all the talent that Joe fostered over the years and try to repay some of his dedication and hard work. Folk Heritage is contributing funds as well as our efforts; all money from the evening will go to Joe and the performers. Berkley Hart. Jeff Berkley and Calman Hart combine vocals, musicianship and stage presence into one of the best live shows around. Billy Galewood. The multifaceted artist formerly known as Bushwalla will MC the show and unequivocally provide plenty of entertainment value. Tim Flannery. We’ve tried to get this man on our stage for a while, but he’s been too busy hanging with his old baseball friends, the top names in San Diego music, and a who’s-who of big name performers. Finally! Gregory Page. Gregory’s unique vision and talent entertains audiences around the world; we’re lucky his home base is in San Diego. Lisa Sanders and Brown Sugar. Nobody puts themselves into their music like Lisa and Karen. Whether by themselves or with a band, they always makes the audience connection.
