00 what? What hundred? Issues? Dang, have we got issues! Our biggest issue (‘ceptin’ this one) is that we are obsessed with culture stuff. New England and Boston DIY. Independent everything. Strange and unusual. The fringe. That’s all it is, folks. The Compass is made by people who care, shoveling sand against the tide just cause it improves the ride. It’s a testament to our region’s deeply radical nature. People come and go from this city, but there’s a core of lifers who you can’t count out. If nothing else, the fact that The Compass has made it to 100 issues (after 100 months of work from hundreds of volunteer editors, writers, and artists) is a testament to the toughness of YOU FOLKS who actually read the dang thing and genuinely wonder what's going down. osition to the mainOur existence also represents an opp al age completely. stream, a refusal to give in to the digit just because it’s love Why should we give up on what we may have no We ical? sens non completely economically g is, but we thin this of ip ersh read al actu idea what the ld needs wor the k believe it’s worth the effort.

une means 100 issues of the Compass. But it also means 6 months since we took over operations at Dorchester Art Project! DAP is many things, and we are making it into more things all the time. It is an art gallery, it is a zine library, we have 12 artist studios and a stage and a PA system. We’re on the second floor of a Vietnamese cafe. We are down the street from an amazing dollar store and a Public Library. Up here you can draw on the walls and organize a show to make noise with your friends. Here are some of the things you could find at DAP on any given day or night: a DJ night, a birthday party, a gallery opening, an artist working on a painting in their studio, a meeting, a music workshop, a play. And whatever else you can dream up. ----------->We want to hear about it! <-------------DAP is our headquarters at Brain Arts, so we hang out here a lot. And you can too! This is 100% a “Place You Can Hang”. We want this to be a place where communities come together. Over the past six months I can really say it’s amazing what you can grow when you just have a space to be. Come be with us ! The more involved you are the more it becomes your space too. Drop us a line at dorchesterartproject@gmail.com and say hey. —Emma Leavitt

includes removing yourself from social media, paid email and personal email services (Google is collecting and selling information on you just like Facebook is, and they’re much more comprehensive), using privacy software like TOR and a VPN, and much more. For most people, though, these steps aren’t just difficult, they’re cumbersome as hell compared to Facebook and Google. So where can you start? Signal (https://signal.org), an app designed by Open Whisper Systems works just like your normal chat and videoconference app, except anytime you and a friend both use it, your chats are encrypted ‘end to end’–meaning nobody else has access to them. Installing signal is a breeze, you can load all of your existing messages into it, and if you’re using Android you can even set Signal as your default messaging service. Like ‘herd immunity’ Signal works better the more people that use it, and now it’s your turn. I might not be able to convince you to delete your Facebook, but baby steps will help you start regaining control of your personal data. –DLM

he almighty German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, known for his work expanding the complexity of harmony and rhythms of western music, may have wrote some of his blistering lines and arpeggios while on a serious caffeine high. Yes, Bach loved coffee, so much so that he wrote a cantata (a vocal work, often one that tells a story) about it. The work is popularly known as the Coffee Cantata but is actually named Schweigt Stille, Plaudert Nicht, which translates to Be Still, Stop Chatting—a title that perfectly sums up a twitchy coffee buzz. The piece tells a comical tale of a father named Schlendrian, which means “Stick in the Mud”, and his frustrations with his daughter’s obsession with coffee. Coffee was somewhat of a controversial substance at the time, feared by some to be be a devilish drink not fit for children, women, or men concerned about vitality, and coffee houses were considered to be bawdy places not typically suitable for women. Not only did the cantata intend to parody coffee addicts, it also celebrated a strongwilled woman determined to get her fix. The piece was written and performed for the crowds at the Zimmerman Coffee House in Leipzig, a popular destination for local musicians and artistic types. Bach ran a small “house band” at the cafe and performed concerts weekly. Nowadays, the piece is often performed as a “mini opera” with full costumes and staging. So the next time you’re sitting at a cafe and drinking a dank brew, pour a little out for J.S. Bach. –Zachary Fairbrother. Follow Zach on Insta/Twitter @avantlard. Drawing by Christina Giovinco
