Hazing often involves humiliation and imposing sometimes dangerous rituals within teams and other groups, especially on college campuses.

It isn’t a long shot to believe that some current Humboldt County residents came into contact with a notorious serial-killing couple in the early 1980s. Michael Bear Carson, a brief Alderpoint resident who once proclaimed he and his wife Suzan were “Witch Killers,” was recently denied his request to be released from prison early.

Myles Cochrane here, host of Humboldt Last Week. I'm so excited to share with you my first ever studio-produced song. Please give it a listen and keep in mind I'm a bit rusty. It's on some of the music streaming sites, too -- links below, along with song notes.
As someone who has talked and written about music via a number of local media outlets, this has been such a thrill trying it out from the other side 💚

One positive of staying at home? It's led to my first ever studio-produced song! Thank you to Dominic Romano of Bongo Boy Studio for producing remotely. I think he’s extremely talented and I think the studio is a Humboldt County treasure. Also, thank you to Shiann and Audrey for reassuring me throughout the process — hearing them hum the chorus in the house at random moments has been such a fun new thrill. Finally, thank you to all of the family and friends that have encouraged me musically over the years.
Besides my admiration for the pro-quality production, I have no idea if this song is halfway decent. Now that I mention it, it seems a little silly thanking people not knowing that.
But I feel like this is a good starting place and I’m proud of stepping out of my comfort zone. I haven’t written a song in a decade and as I noted I’ve never utilized a professional studio. In this case, I was able to compose the song and write the lyrics fairly quickly. Then I created a scratch beat along with a live acoustic-guitar version. Finally, I linked up with Dominic to translate what I had into a polished beat with studio vocals. He built on my vision with some great ideas and embellished things with each draft.
The acoustic guitar version is fun to sing and play, too. I’m thinking about writing more utilizing a similar process.
I don’t really know where to start in trying to get people to hear this. Besides my post here, the single is on Spotify, Apple Music, and a number of other places where people get their music. I hope you enjoy it. Please consider adding it to your playlists. I went with the moniker “MC MC” and the title of the song is “Kite.” I hope it stays afloat for a moment. Thanks for reading.
An entire broadcast dedicated to all the good in this community and its associates. Just a few people and concepts noted: (Somehow) Tiger King, Star Wars, healthcare, skywriting, relative calmness, sports stars, appreciation, Guy Fieri, Sara Bareilles.

(At 10:55): Long lines at gas stations, generators buzzing, repeatedly walking into dark rooms and instinctively flicking on the light switch to no avail -- we all went through this together: Humboldt was forced into setting the mood by candlelight.
The epitomizing headline from the LA Times was: “Tempers flare as millions in California endure power outages from PG&E.” The private utility company billed this as a way to prevent a devastating wildfire due to heavy winds elsewhere in the state.
We asked: How can we ensure these shutoffs aren’t the new normal? Time will tell but this is certain: This was much bigger than flexing survival muscles, throwing off that morning cup of coffee, missing an episode of “Modern Family,” and forgoing a romantic night for one on your favorite porn site.

Former Murder Suspect Sues Arcata, Says Cops Defamed Him While Investigating Death of HSU Student (7:12)
“I had a law professor look over his entire complaint,” said North Coast Journal Editor Thadeus Greenson. “Both because he was representing himself to look at it for potential filing errors… and then also to really look at the substance of his allegations in the lawsuit.” County Settles Lawsuit Over Death in Jail Sobering Cell for $3.5 Million (16:51)
“…It’s really hard to make a judgement on this case unless you’ve really taken a good look at all the facts,” said Greenson. “I would just say as a reporter having watched the entire video of Mr. Borges’ last hours from the time that Eureka police picked him up to the time that he stopped moving in a sobering cell, it gave me a much different picture than I had going in.”

Humboldt Last Week, Episode 83 (7:02): Last week the New York Times put out an article noting Humboldt County as the place hit worst by the opioid epidemic in all of California -- a place with an opioid death rate higher than five times the state average.
The article goes into the disturbing amount of heroin and meth use in Eureka, homelessness issues, the lack of affordable housing in the area, law enforcement challenges, and criticism about the amount of state funding doled out to combat these issues.
“We really are trying and it’s a challenge,” said Assemblymember Jim Wood, a dentist who sits on many health committees. “Because it’s not just about opioids, it’s about behavioral health, it’s about homelessness… we’re just not spending the money where we need to (on things like treatment and relapse prevention)...”
In an interview with HLW, Wood discusses what he and the state have been doing to combat Humboldt’s opioid issues, a startling local heroin statistic, his healthcare proposals including one that would cover young undocumented immigrants, and his respectful disagreement with Governor Jerry Brown about healthcare funding priorities.

With what many call the “revolving door” at the jail comes majority support from the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors for an initiative called the “Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act.”
“Serial property theft would mean a year in jail rather than probation -- that’s a big one,” said Lost Coast Outpost reporter Ryan Burns.
The measure which is still in the signature gathering phase aims to make serial theft a felony, reduce early release numbers for violent prisoners, increase penalties for parole violations, and allow DNA collection in more cases among other things. It sounds great on paper if you’re not a criminal.
In an unexpected turn of events at a ‘Supervisors meeting last week retiring Chief Probation Officer Bill Damiano broke with many of his law enforcement peers as a skeptic of the initiative saying it could bog down already overcrowded jails and take money away from rehabbing the 95 percent of inmates that will inevitably be released. That the good the initiative does can be achieved in other ways.
In the program, Lost Coast Outpost reporter Ryan Burns is interviewed about his coverage on the meeting and the nuances of the perspectives shared.
The interview begins at 11:42.

Why do some of us care about who Humboldt-raised superstar Sara Bareilles is dating? Sure, she has a massive list of more noteworthy creative achievements, but last week some of the millions of readers of Elite Daily were drawn to a story with the headline: “Who is Sara Bareilles’ boyfriend? The pair have an adorable story.”
As curiosity struck this apparently shameless writer and he clicked in, we wondered why he and others are drawn to this kind of information about people they’d likely never meet.
“... a psychoanalyst in the tradition of Sigmund Freud might say we see ourselves or someone important to us reflected in the lives of strangers...” said Humboldt State University Psychology Lecturer Kevin Matlock.
In the program more of Matlock’s thoughts on the subject are shared, and yeah, listeners can hear the juicy-to-some info about Bareilles that probably has no tangible impact on our lives.
The story begins at 9:24.
