"Music on the water Friday ferry rides picked up a new rhythm this month as SF Bay Ferry began hosting live performances on select routes through the month of January. The Tides and Tunes series brings local musicians, bands, and DJs onto the fleet's larger vessels with room to host small performances. The performances come at no extra cost beyond the regular ferry fare. The series runs at select times on Fridays, with artist Lolah returning for another set on January 23."
"The legacy of a hit Rumors by Timex Social Club started as a song written by East Bay teens and went on to become one of 1986's biggest hits, selling more than a million copies. The track still shows up in DJ sets and party playlists, even as most people know little about the group behind it. In his book, , founding member Marcus Thompson details how the band formed in Oakland, recorded the song on basic equipment, and quickly found national success."
"Each January, a new batch of music, books, and films enters the public domain, and the Internet Archive marks the moment by opening the doors to creative reuse. This year includes works from 1930 like Georgia on My Mind, On the Sunny Side of the Street, , and early Nancy Drew stories. The Archive frames the public domain as a way to keep culture accessible, especially as copyright battles have narrowed access to its digital library."
SF Bay Ferry began hosting live musical performances on select Friday routes through January under the Tides and Tunes series, featuring local musicians, bands, and DJs at no extra cost beyond regular fare. Artist Lolah is scheduled to perform again on January 23. Timex Social Club's 1986 hit "Rumors" originated with East Bay teens; founding member Marcus Thompson recounts the band's formation in Oakland, basic recording methods, rapid national success, subsequent industry disputes, and the breakup that followed. Each January new music, books, and films enter the public domain, and the Internet Archive marked the occasion with online and in-person events focused on remixed works. Other community highlights include a boujee all-ages club, a donkey reality show, a hand-drawn map of Berkeley, and an Asian Art Museum program exploring rave culture.
