Taylor Swift fans — including Aireonna Westbrook (singing to the left) and Jaionna Stanfield (upper right-hand corner) — congregate to celebrate the Eras Tour concert movie and Taylor Swift’s rerecording of 1989. (Juliana Yamada, Nisa Khan, Darren Tu)
Ava Jeffs was a sophomore in high school, listening to music and cooking her mom’s favorite meal: braised short rib with parmesan risotto.
Jeffs loved cooking — especially for other people. But Jeffs was struggling with an eating disorder — and her love for cooking felt like a constant battle in her head.
Then she heard the lyrics:
When I was drowning… that’s when I could finally breathe.
“I remember tasting the dish, and then I went outside, and it started raining, and it was just a very cathartic experience for me. It almost seemed unreal at the time,” Jeffs, now 19, says. For her, “the song is about the first time that I really felt clean of all of those negative feelings that came along with food.”
The song was Taylor Swift’s “Clean,” from her pop-crossover magnum opus, 1989.

It’s the song that inspired Jeffs’ college admission essay to Stanford University, where she now studies computer science.
In Palo Alto:
Next spring, Jeffs — as a sophomore — will teach a class at Stanford about Taylor Swift that examines the singer’s storytelling abilities.
“That song just got me through such a hard time and is one of the reasons why I’m here,” she says. “So it’s almost like paying back by doing this class and showing other people how they can get the same thing out of songs if they are able to read something in a specific way.”
The class is called “The Last Great American Songwriter” — a reference to Swift’s song “the last great american dynasty” on her album folklore.
“There has been some pushback about there being a class like this at a university like Stanford,” Jeffs says. But that’s exactly why she wanted to create it. “I think that a lot of the time, songwriting as a medium of art and storytelling is undervalued, and I want it to be valued.”
Jeffs is one of thousands of Bay Area fans bracing for the release of 1989 (Taylor’s Version) on Friday.
And there is no shortage of gatherings for Swifties: Drag shows, themed parties, and, of course, karaoke.
In Emeryville:
At Bay Street Emeryville’s outdoor terrace on Oct. 19, 11-year-old Jaionna Stanfield gave a lively rendition of the 1989 single, “Shake It Off.”
“She’s just so nice and kind, and she’s just a very good singer,” Stanfield says. “She’s so pretty and beautiful, and that’s all.”
Swift attracts fans of all ages — especially those who grew up with her music and relied on her songs to get them through anxiety and heartbreak. At Bay Street Emeryville, 30-year-old Aireonna Westbrook says she can get up on a stage and sing in front of complete strangers (she sang “22”) because of Taylor Swift.
“I’m not normally an extroverted person, but that’s how she makes me feel,” she says. “Just be bold, be yourself, and just go full throttle with everything.”
When you ask a fan why they are so drawn to Taylor Swift — you will get a range of answers.
Her lyricism conjures vivid imagery: “You can hear every drop of the leaves falling, and then you can see a picture of her dancing in the refrigerator light.” Michael Micael, a movie attendee, says of the song “All Too Well.”
Regarding the pure nostalgia of revisiting her songs: “[Taylor Swift] really embraces what it means to go through girlhood and to experience those really turbulent emotions that you go through in your maturing,” Jeffs says.
Swift’s music reminds some fans of the memories it holds with their families. “My dad is always really into female artists who play their own instruments. And I remember when her self-titled [album] came out, and he was like, ‘One of these girls plays guitar,’” says Courtney Carlomagno, wearing a shirt depicting Swift as Jesus Christ.
Perhaps Christine Chen, arms also donned with friendship bracelets, says it best: “There’s just something for every mood or every type of Taylor fan.”
Pop. Country. Folk. Feeling contemplative? folklore or evermore. Angry? Reputation.
“Because we’re not homogenous, right? We don’t all love the same things,” Chen says. “We all love different aspects of her and her music.”

The bar serves a whopping nine different highballs, and it uses the expensive kind of ice that’s just one long, perfectly clear cuboid in your glass.

We ordered torched Hokkaido scallops that were served in a style you might expect to find at one of the Bay Area’s buzzier, Asian-inflected fine dining restaurants.

And, perhaps most decadently, there were furikake-topped lobster grilled cheese sandwiches, served on bouncy Japanese milk bread. (Could I \u003ci>really\u003c/i> taste that it was lobster, instead of some less rarefied protein, under all that cheese? Maybe not. But I did want to dunk everything on the table into the savory miso aioli that came with the sandwich.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No surprise, all those small plates can add up to a bit of a hefty bill if you’re eating \u003ci>dinner\u003c/i> dinner.

So it really felt like we had stumbled on a secret spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, we had come because we’d heard Nokori was open until midnight every night, and that it served a concise, appealing menu of fancy izakaya-style small plates until the kitchen did its last call at 11. And also because the bar specializes in the Japanese whisky highball, which happens to be my favorite drink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A basic highball is just Japanese whisky, soda water and ice, but Nokori is one of a handful of bars around the Bay Area that has installed a \u003ca href=\"https://punchdrink.com/articles/toki-japanese-whisky-highball-machine-has-been-hacked/\">special soda dispenser\u003c/a> from Japan that makes the soda water extra-extra fizzy — so much so that the bubbles look visibly angry.

And, perhaps most decadently, there were furikake-topped lobster grilled cheese sandwiches, served on bouncy Japanese milk bread.

I missed having bakeries I could walk to. I randomly ordered Chad Robertson’s book, \u003ci>Tartine Bread\u003c/i>, and gave it a try in 2013. I was just baking for my family, and it became too much bread, so we started giving it to neighbors and friends.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moser went on to become the masterful head baker and founder of \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/backhausbread/?hl=en\">Backhaus\u003c/a>, which began to sell loaves at local markets in 2016, eventually opening their first brick-and-mortar in downtown San Mateo. Now one of the Peninsula’s buzziest bread suppliers, the German-inspired “bakehouse” continues to rise like a loaf of naturally leavened dough. Last November, the couple opened their second location in Burlingame to much fanfare (and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/food/article/burlingame-bakery-backhaus-bakehouse-17902769.php\">a dash of name confusion\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps most impressive, though? Backhaus serves what might be the best sourdough bread I’ve ever eaten. And it’s not the kind of white-bread sourdough you may be envisioning. Actually, this sourdough is far from the run-of-the-mill loaf you can pick up at any bakery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Moser — who now refers to herself as \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/abagofflour?lang=en\">a “benevolent ruler over billions of wild yeast minions” on X\u003c/a> — has perfected is a true rarity of carb-laden, soul-mending, San Franciscan wonder: the chocolate sourdough mini-loaf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We decided on the small format because some people might eat it by themselves, but you don’t necessarily want a full size of that. If your loaf for the whole week is just chocolate, it can be limiting for the sandwiches you make,” Moser laughs. “But it’s good with cream cheese or your favorite preserve, almond butter or peanut butter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Admittedly, due to its small size, I was left desiring more. I would happily eat a larger portion — any day of the week. Moser tells me that (surprisingly) no one has ever asked her to bake a full-size loaf of the chocolate specialty bread, which is only available on weekends. But that’s the first thing that crossed my mind while eating it. (The second was to fantasize about turning it into chocolate sourdough French toast).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With an empyrean, almost-marshmallow-like fluff, the slightly-melted chocolate bits dissolve on your tongue while the chewy country sourdough loaf provides a fibrous counterbalance. The bread has the iconic acidity of supreme-tier sourdough — yet, inside and out, the small loaves are a dark brown shade that would make any Hershey’s bar blush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13956870\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13956870\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/chocolate-sourdough-interior.jpg\" alt=\"a loaf of sliced open chocolate sourdough is displayed on a wooden table outdoors\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/chocolate-sourdough-interior.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/chocolate-sourdough-interior-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/chocolate-sourdough-interior-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/chocolate-sourdough-interior-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/chocolate-sourdough-interior-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/chocolate-sourdough-interior-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/chocolate-sourdough-interior-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The chocolate slightly melts into the sourdough. \u003ccite>(Alan Chazaro/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In addition to sprinkling semisweet chips from Burlingame-based Guittard into the dough, Moser’s recipe adds cocoa powder and honey, giving the bread its lightly candied — but not overly sugary — piquancy.

I missed having bakeries I could walk to. I randomly ordered Chad Robertson’s book, \u003ci>Tartine Bread\u003c/i>, and gave it a try in 2013. I was just baking for my family, and it became too much bread, so we started giving it to neighbors and friends.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moser went on to become the masterful head baker and founder of \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/backhausbread/?hl=en\">Backhaus\u003c/a>, which began to sell loaves at local markets in 2016, eventually opening their first brick-and-mortar in downtown San Mateo. Now one of the Peninsula’s buzziest bread suppliers, the German-inspired “bakehouse” continues to rise like a loaf of naturally leavened dough. Last November, the couple opened their second location in Burlingame to much fanfare (and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/food/article/burlingame-bakery-backhaus-bakehouse-17902769.php\">a dash of name confusion\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps most impressive, though? Backhaus serves what might be the best sourdough bread I’ve ever eaten. And it’s not the kind of white-bread sourdough you may be envisioning. Actually, this sourdough is far from the run-of-the-mill loaf you can pick up at any bakery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Moser — who now refers to herself as \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/abagofflour?lang=en\">a “benevolent ruler over billions of wild yeast minions” on X\u003c/a> — has perfected is a true rarity of carb-laden, soul-mending, San Franciscan wonder: the chocolate sourdough mini-loaf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We decided on the small format because some people might eat it by themselves, but you don’t necessarily want a full size of that. If your loaf for the whole week is just chocolate, it can be limiting for the sandwiches you make,” Moser laughs. “But it’s good with cream cheese or your favorite preserve, almond butter or peanut butter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Admittedly, due to its small size, I was left desiring more. I would happily eat a larger portion — any day of the week. Moser tells me that (surprisingly) no one has ever asked her to bake a full-size loaf of the chocolate specialty bread, which is only available on weekends. But that’s the first thing that crossed my mind while eating it. (The second was to fantasize about turning it into chocolate sourdough French toast).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With an empyrean, almost-marshmallow-like fluff, the slightly-melted chocolate bits dissolve on your tongue while the chewy country sourdough loaf provides a fibrous counterbalance. The bread has the iconic acidity of supreme-tier sourdough — yet, inside and out, the small loaves are a dark brown shade that would make any Hershey’s bar blush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13956870\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13956870\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/chocolate-sourdough-interior.jpg\" alt=\"a loaf of sliced open chocolate sourdough is displayed on a wooden table outdoors\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/chocolate-sourdough-interior.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/chocolate-sourdough-interior-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/chocolate-sourdough-interior-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/chocolate-sourdough-interior-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/chocolate-sourdough-interior-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/chocolate-sourdough-interior-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/chocolate-sourdough-interior-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The chocolate slightly melts into the sourdough. \u003ccite>(Alan Chazaro/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In addition to sprinkling semisweet chips from Burlingame-based Guittard into the dough, Moser’s recipe adds cocoa powder and honey, giving the bread its lightly candied — but not overly sugary — piquancy.

Look no further than the Sphere in Las Vegas for the alpha example of this: It’s an immersive, 18,600-person concert hall where attendees are inside of a live music snow globe of sorts, featuring a 360-degree 16K LED visual display, spatial audio and 4D effects.

Visual artists like Bill Ham and Glenn McKay created psychedelic, oil-spinning light shows, making venues feel like the inside of a lava lamp — a perfect place to indulge in hallucinogens. Rodell is friends with the 92-year old Ham, and his work builds upon that ’60s San Francisco tradition. Even if it happened by accident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rodell grew up in the Inland Empire city of Rancho Cucamonga. “I love that it’s my hometown. Frank Zappa got arrested here,” he says with a smile.

(“I ran into Mark Zuckerberg once, and he wouldn’t let me pet his dog,” he quips.) He was working at a startup that made oil-less generators, and immersed himself in live music and festival culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While volunteering at Sonoma County’s psych-rock staple, Huichica Festival, in 2015, Rodell found himself backstage talking to — of all people — Dead Kennedys frontman and SF political jester Jello Biafra.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were talking about how Bernie [Sanders] just lost the primary, and Jello was like, ‘I can’t talk about this stuff ’cause the Green Party will be all up on me,’” Rodell recalls. “So he changes the subject and was like, ‘Look at all this lighting stuff!’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biafra was referencing the spinning platters adorned with oils, dyes and inks that Mad Alchemy Light Show’s Lance Gordon began making in the ’70s and revived in the late aughts after a decades-long hiatus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gordon was inspired by the likes of Ham, McKay and Brotherhood of Light, artists who helped cement the live legacies of the Grateful Dead, Big Brother and the Holding Company and The Allman Brothers Band. These acts were seen as truly psychedelic performers. Today, Mad Alchemy is, by all accounts, the modern day benchmark for psychedelic light shows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13957284\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2300px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13957284\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/JJuujjuu_CHapel_Photo-by-greg-CHow_Visuals-by-Zach-Rodell.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2300\" height=\"1533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/JJuujjuu_CHapel_Photo-by-greg-CHow_Visuals-by-Zach-Rodell.jpg 2300w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/JJuujjuu_CHapel_Photo-by-greg-CHow_Visuals-by-Zach-Rodell-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/JJuujjuu_CHapel_Photo-by-greg-CHow_Visuals-by-Zach-Rodell-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/JJuujjuu_CHapel_Photo-by-greg-CHow_Visuals-by-Zach-Rodell-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/JJuujjuu_CHapel_Photo-by-greg-CHow_Visuals-by-Zach-Rodell-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/JJuujjuu_CHapel_Photo-by-greg-CHow_Visuals-by-Zach-Rodell-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/JJuujjuu_CHapel_Photo-by-greg-CHow_Visuals-by-Zach-Rodell-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/JJuujjuu_CHapel_Photo-by-greg-CHow_Visuals-by-Zach-Rodell-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2300px) 100vw, 2300px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">JJuujjuu performs at the Chapel in San Francisco, surrounded by Zach Rodell’s visuals. \u003ccite>(Greg Chow)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Intrigued, Rodell got Gordon’s card, followed up and was soon working with him as an assistant.

(He’s worked Desert Daze seven times, creating visuals for over 100 artists in the process.) Rodell gleaned much from Gordon, but the pair had a falling out in 2018.

He’s just gotten back from doing visuals at Coachella with LA psych rockers Jjuujjuu. And while Panchiko’s Berkeley tour stop might be Rodell’s first time working with the British indie band, he’s doing anything but playing it safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You always want to envelop the audience so there’s visuals in your peripheral,” Rodell says as he juggles software platforms on his computer, which is connected to different MIDI controllers and analog hardware. “Lose your senses. Get lost in a show. … So I’m gonna try something really risky.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The show is about to start, yet Rodell — who lives in San Francisco’s Sunset district — is still downloading new digital art code packets from his command center next to the sound booth.

He was in talks to do visuals for André 3000’s Big Sur show this past April at Henry Miller Library, before road closures on Highway 1 forced a postponement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Oakland band \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13928718/fake-fruit-is-the-best-emerging-band-in-the-bay-is-the-universe-conspiring-against-them\">Fake Fruit\u003c/a> headlined a bill at Rickshaw Stop earlier this year, Rodell wrapped a canvas around the entire room to create 360-degree projections.

Look no further than the Sphere in Las Vegas for the alpha example of this: It’s an immersive, 18,600-person concert hall where attendees are inside of a live music snow globe of sorts, featuring a 360-degree 16K LED visual display, spatial audio and 4D effects. U2 and Phish played widely publicized residencies since it opened last September, and Dead & Company have a 24-show run starting this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Continuing a psychedelic SF legacy\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When it comes to Dead & Co especially, it’s hard to not think about how this represents an evolution of the ’60s Grateful Dead shows in SF venues like the Avalon and Carousel Ballroom. Visual artists like Bill Ham and Glenn McKay created psychedelic, oil-spinning light shows, making venues feel like the inside of a lava lamp — a perfect place to indulge in hallucinogens. Rodell is friends with the 92-year old Ham, and his work builds upon that ’60s San Francisco tradition. Even if it happened by accident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rodell grew up in the Inland Empire city of Rancho Cucamonga. “I love that it’s my hometown. Frank Zappa got arrested here,” he says with a smile. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"arts_13956541","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He went to school for airplane mechanics and made a move to East Palo Alto in 2012 to live with a girl he met on a Coachella message board. (“I ran into Mark Zuckerberg once, and he wouldn’t let me pet his dog,” he quips.) He was working at a startup that made oil-less generators, and immersed himself in live music and festival culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While volunteering at Sonoma County’s psych-rock staple, Huichica Festival, in 2015, Rodell found himself backstage talking to — of all people — Dead Kennedys frontman and SF political jester Jello Biafra.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were talking about how Bernie [Sanders] just lost the primary, and Jello was like, ‘I can’t talk about this stuff ’cause the Green Party will be all up on me,’” Rodell recalls. “So he changes the subject and was like, ‘Look at all this lighting stuff!’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biafra was referencing the spinning platters adorned with oils, dyes and inks that Mad Alchemy Light Show’s Lance Gordon began making in the ’70s and revived in the late aughts after a decades-long hiatus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gordon was inspired by the likes of Ham, McKay and Brotherhood of Light, artists who helped cement the live legacies of the Grateful Dead, Big Brother and the Holding Company and The Allman Brothers Band. These acts were seen as truly psychedelic performers. Today, Mad Alchemy is, by all accounts, the modern day benchmark for psychedelic light shows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13957284\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2300px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13957284\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/JJuujjuu_CHapel_Photo-by-greg-CHow_Visuals-by-Zach-Rodell.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2300\" height=\"1533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/JJuujjuu_CHapel_Photo-by-greg-CHow_Visuals-by-Zach-Rodell.jpg 2300w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/JJuujjuu_CHapel_Photo-by-greg-CHow_Visuals-by-Zach-Rodell-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/JJuujjuu_CHapel_Photo-by-greg-CHow_Visuals-by-Zach-Rodell-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/JJuujjuu_CHapel_Photo-by-greg-CHow_Visuals-by-Zach-Rodell-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/JJuujjuu_CHapel_Photo-by-greg-CHow_Visuals-by-Zach-Rodell-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/JJuujjuu_CHapel_Photo-by-greg-CHow_Visuals-by-Zach-Rodell-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/JJuujjuu_CHapel_Photo-by-greg-CHow_Visuals-by-Zach-Rodell-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/JJuujjuu_CHapel_Photo-by-greg-CHow_Visuals-by-Zach-Rodell-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2300px) 100vw, 2300px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">JJuujjuu performs at the Chapel in San Francisco, surrounded by Zach Rodell’s visuals. \u003ccite>(Greg Chow)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Intrigued, Rodell got Gordon’s card, followed up and was soon working with him as an assistant. He broke up with the girl and dove deeper into his work with Mad Alchemy, including a yearly stint at Desert Daze festival in Joshua Tree, which has grown into the nation’s premier psych music fest. (He’s worked Desert Daze seven times, creating visuals for over 100 artists in the process.) Rodell gleaned much from Gordon, but the pair had a falling out in 2018. They briefly came back together during the pandemic in 2020, and Rodell set off on his own for good in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mad Alchemy is only liquids — it’s beautiful — but I want to do all types of visuals. I’m not trying to copy his stuff,” Rodell says. “I like cam footage and repurposing the footage of the band into art, and it’s mostly improv. The more I have to put thought into something or worry about it, I find myself not having as much fun.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He learns new techniques online, watching YouTube videos, staying active on forums, always looking for new modes to add to his arsenal. Over the years, he’s worked with bands from all over the world, in all edges of psychedelia, pushing the envelope of the complete experience.

More respect is terrific, of course, but wasn’t a substitute for the lost revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any place that shut down for a month or two, or a couple families pulled out because they were worried about exposure, there goes the whole business model,” Bradwell explains. “Ninety percent is private payment, so it’s on parents trying to make it work. Most parents are paying college-tuition-level rates for child care and they feel lucky to get it if they do, [although] some people are lucky enough to qualify for a subsidy.
