Consignia: The Flatterers – The end of their anarchy at the Edinburgh Fringe?

Admirably anarchic comedy group Consignia are performing their show The Flatterers at the Edinburgh Fringe starting this Saturday (6th-14th August).

"THE QUALITY OF THE PICTURES WAS SO GOOD. I HAD A STINT OF HAVING IT WITH ME ALL THE TIME."

PIC(S) INFO: Mega-spotlight on behind-the-scenes Polaroids of English post-rock/post-punk/experimental music group PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED, c. 1980-'81. 📸: Jeannette Lee.

OVERVIEW: "In late 1978, one year after the tumultuous break up of the SEX PISTOLS, John Lydon (a.k.a. Johnny Rotten) launched his new band, PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED, featuring his childhood friend Jah Wobble on bass, and Keith Levene, former guitarist for THE CLASH, on guitar. Lydon had had a rough time of it; by the time the Sex Pistols disintegrated, he had no money, no privacy thanks to the band’s enduring notoriety and no real control over his punk past (former manager Malcolm McLaren had staked claim to the SEX PISTOLS’ image, forbidding Lydon to use the name Rotten for future endeavours). As a result, he deemed that Public Image Limited would be different: a band-cum-company comprised of trusted co-collaborators.

Shortly after founding the band he approached Jeannette Lee, now best known as the co-director of iconic independent label Rough Trade Records, inviting her into the PiL fold as a “non-musical member” of the group to help with press, promotion and general administration. Thus ensued a magical period of innovation and cooperation which saw PiL rise to greater and greater heights, blazing an avant-garde, post-punk trail. Now, a new limited-edition book of Polaroid photographs taken by Lee during her three or four-year tenure with the group, and published by IDEA, sheds candid light on this formative period of the band’s history.

Lydon and Lee had met through Don Letts, the then-manager of famous punk-reggae clothing store Acme Attractions on the King’s Road (where Lee also worked), and bonded over a shared love of reggae and their north London council estate backgrounds. “He came to me and said, "I’m starting this new thing. I want to work with people that I trust. I don’t want to work with any more idiots,"" Lee recalls in an interview with Jarvis Cocker – a close friend, whom she also manages and who helped her compile the publication – for the book’s accompanying text. “There was no real job description: just like-minded people joining forces.” Alongside the key band members, these included Don Letts, Sheila Rock, Judy Nylon and Plaxy Locatelli, among others, all of whom set up office in Lydon’s house in Gunter Grove, between Fulham and the King’s Road, and spent their days, in Lee’s words, "making manifestos and then living according to them."

It is in this intimate setting that many of Lee’s pictures are staged, taken from 1980 onwards, after the purchase of her Polaroid SX-70 camera on a trip to New York. “The quality of the pictures was so good. I had a stint of having it with me all the time. Taking pictures everywhere I went,” she tells Cocker. Lee was a natural photographer, her snapshots rendered in dreamy hues and boasting compelling compositions. Some of the images from the book will be recognisable to PiL fans – such as the brilliant photograph of Lydon gazing furtively into a spiderweb-etched mirror, which was used as the cover for the "Flowers of Romance" single – while many more have never been seen, and offer viewers wonderful insight into the very private world of PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED. There’s a picture of one member tenderly clasping a puppy, one of Levene sitting in front of a strawberry milkshake, traces of its froth forming a moustache across his top lip, another of Lee and a boater-topped Lydon grinning goofily into the camera: the softer, sillier side of punk."

stories you have to read to understand my brain:

(this includes both fiction and nonfiction because people need to stop being wimpy about nonfiction tbqh)

i make no promises about the quality of each particular work or whether you will like them personally. some of them i have not reread in years. some of them i reread at least once a year. some of them are for children. some of them are definitely not. google the triggers for each and make your own judgments. this is not in any particular order either.

Dakota Johnson brings a modern spark to ‘Persuasion’

LOS ANGELES

The new adaptation of “ Persuasion, ” coming to Netflix Friday, does not seem to have been made for Jane Austen fans.

Her book about the unmarried Anne Elliot, who at 27 is on the edge of spinsterhood and regretting having been persuaded to give up her true love years earlier because of his lowly status, was the author's last before her death. It is notable and beloved for how it’s distinct from her more widely known and adapted books like “Pride and Prejudice” and “Emma,” with its mature heroine, its more reserved wit and its distinctly melancholy undertones. “Persuasion” also boasts one of her most romantic monologues.

This version, directed by British theater veteran Carrie Cracknell and starring Dakota Johnson as Anne, inserts modern phrases and “Fleabag” tropes into a Regency-era setting. It is like an Austen amuse bouche — an entry-level cover version that tries to rev up the humor and speak directly to Gen Z by using its lingo — or at least an advertising executive’s idea of what Gen Z sounds like. But something feels off about the way it is executed.

Austen’s works are hardly impenetrable for modern audiences. Over 200 years later, they remain accessible and relevant. There’s a reason why it seems like every year there’s several Austen-inspired films or shows populating our screens (just this summer we've gotten “Fire Island” and “Mr. Malcolm's List”). Her stories have not only stood the test of time but have also bloomed in delightful ways in modern contexts. Just look at “Clueless" and “Bridget Jones’s Diary."

This “Persuasion" has a whiff of condescension to it, as though it doesn’t trust its audience to empathize with Anne without seeing her crying in a bathtub and chugging wine from the bottle while she tells us in voiceover that she’s “thriving.” Maybe the crying in the bathtub/wine bit has just been done too many times. You can’t help but feel that Johnson, a gifted comedienne, deserved something more creative and less cliche.

And yet Johnson does manage to sell much of it. She is subtle where many might choose something big and breaks the fourth wall like she’s letting us in on a secret. It may be “Fleabag”-esque, but she’s not imitating Phoebe Waller-Bridge. She’s making it her own.

In fact, most of the cast is rather vibrant and full of newish discoveries — especially Cosmo Jarvis (who some will recognize from “Lady Macbeth”) as Anne’s old love Frederick Wentworth. She rejected him at 19 at the advice of a mentor (the lovely Nikki Amuka-Bird) and has come back into her life eight years later with wealth and good standing. He is now, as far as society is concerned, a man of consequence. Jarvis, with his mournful eyes, warm smile and inscrutable intentions, is a perfect Austen leading man. And he and Johnson, even when across the room from one another, have a spark.

The pint-sized Mia McKenna-Bruce is viciously funny as Anne’s younger sister Mary while Nia Towle is the picture of innocence as Louisa. Richard E. Grant, as Anne’s vain father Walter Elliot, adds life as well but he’s sparingly used. Henry Golding also has fun playing a cad, Mr. Elliot.

The screenplay is credited to Ron Bass (“Rain Man,” “My Best Friend’s Wedding”) and Alice Victoria Winslow, who had the good sense to preserve that famous monologue at the very least. But by the time we get there, it almost makes one wish that this were just a more straightforward adaptation without all the buzzwords. This cast and the director could have carried it and the audience would have been there. Or perhaps this will bring some fresh blood to Austen, after all.

To quote “Persuasion,” "I’m half agony, half hope.”

“Persuasion,” a Netflix release streaming Friday, is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association for “some suggestive references.” Running time: 107 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

I just.. wish my nan and my dad wouldn't wipe my transness under the rug when I came out. It's like they just want one part of me to stay like it "always has been" because they know I'm the failure child. I know I'm the failure child. We all do. I'm best friends with my replacement and yet nobody knows who I am. Am I just going to have to keep coming out to them until they finally accept it? I.. don't want to do that. I just want my dad to understand. I want them to understand.

If I had to tell them everything... I dont know how I'd do it. I wanna sit down in a room with them and a third party to just.. talk about it. I want them to stop ignoring me. I want them to understand. But they won't... they don't even know if I'm a child or an adult. Old enough to shoot a gun and drive a car but not old enough to express myself without conditional love. I just... wanna be a boy without judgey looks or tense air. I wanna go to sleep without crying for 2 hours first. I wanna feel comfort in my own skin. I want my voice to sound like my own and not some.. teenage girl. I hate that word. Girl. It makes my mouth feel like throw up just thinking about it.

I don't want an apology for how I feel I want an apology for what you've done. I want an apology, a real one, for you making my want to commit awful acts to myself every time I'm alone. I want an apology for all of the awkward silences filled with unanswered, untouched questions in the backs of our minds. I want an apology for the pain. You don't understand and if you keep this up, you never will.

May we hope this is not my final goodbye.

When I die I want people to know I was a person, not just a statistic. I want people to know I loved my brother and my theatre department. I want people to know I loved being on stage. I loved minecraft and overwatch. I loved Nintendo and littlest pet shops, my little pony, and the teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Mikey was always my favorite. I loved Markiplier and Jacksepticeye, Eleanor Neale, and Therm. I loved Ethan is online, nickisnotgreen, and Jarvis Johnson. Oversized sweatshirts and dogs. Sticks and the mountain air. Worms and bugs. I loved hand painted wallpaper. I hated math and authority. I want people to know the pain that came with being transgender and I want people to know that my parents and my life never affected my transness. Ever since I had a general grasp on gender I always knew I didn't fit into where I was placed. I just.. didn't know how to express it or what it was. I thought it was just something I had to live with, knowing I was something else but acting as is. Now I have a name. I told my parents about it, I was excited to finally be able to be a boy. But when time came.. they threw me away. They replaced me. When I finally announced it I was cast aside. Ignored. I was the uncomfortable air in the room. I was a smudge on a white counter top.

Let this not be a suicide note.. let this be something people can learn from. I don't want to leave behind the things I love but... I can't deal with all of this. I'm not going to die. In not going to commit suicide. That's a stretch.. I won't commit suicide if they accept me. And if they do not well.. I wanted to say thank you to Malcolm for pushing me into something I grew to love with all my heart, Maren for being the light in the dark, Nico for being there for everyone. Dexter for being my thread to hold onto for so many years, Mary Santa for helping all of us through hard times and making something for these lost kids to fill their hearts with, Alyssa for changing my world view, Franklin for bringing the laughs, learning, and knowing when to be real, Catie Page for helping me open up a little, Bunnie for being such a fun person to meet, and everyone else. If I didn't mention you by name it is not because I didn't care enough it's just because there are far too many people who helped me.

One last person I want to thank is Reese. I want to thank you for showing me how to love. What it should feel like. Even if in the end you broke my heart I still can't completely let go how happy our time together was. I apologize for anything I did to upset you ever, but I wanted to say one last goodbye.

The Brothers: Riley (3.6, BBC, 1974)

"As I've said before, none of us know Riley very well... Except perhaps your father. I wonder if he knew he had a police record."

"Well, he certainly never gave any hint."

"Well he wouldn't, would he; he could also keep secrets for life."

"Yes. That's true."

"Perhaps he even gave Riley this job to get him back on his feet."

"Yes, that would be typical of Dad."

#The brothers #classic tv #1974 #Eric Paice #N. J. Crisp #jean anderson #Patrick O'connell #Jennifer Wilson #Richard Easton #Robin chadwick #Julia goodman #Hilary tindall #Derek benfield #Gabrielle Drake #Jonathan Newth #Malcolm Stoddard #Frank Jarvis #Hugh Sullivan #Brian Grellis #Ohh this is a strong episode right out the gate. Paice is one of the most reliable writers working on the series so it's perhaps #Unsurprising that he was given this hijacking side plot to cover. He absolutely nails it here and in the process gives us some lovely #Background on a few of the leads. We learn more about Riley in particular including the fact that he saw active service in ww2 and was #Something of a tearaway in his youth. Jennifer meanwhile reveals that Bill may have always known about her relationship with the late Mr #Hammond snr and sent flowers after Barbara's birth (a very touching moment in a dazzling script). Perhaps what I enjoyed most tho was an #Unexpected insight to Ted's personality: his utter willingness to back Bill without hesitation (even as characters like Jennifer air some #Doubts) is a side of him we see all too little of. He may be a shouty hard headed business type but of them all Ted is also the Brother #Most willing to trust and to believe in others. He knows Bill and trusts him and... That's enough. It's a lovely moment and I really like #Seeing this side of Edward. Elsewhere... Well Barbara's young husband is looking to be just the feckless dreamer Ted took him for...

Audio

In honour of Tolkien Reading Day 2022, here is the “Epilogue (Farewells)” as featured in the West End production of The Lord of the Rings.

On top of being visually stunning, this segment includes one of my favourite scenes in the musical, namely Frodo and Sam’s farewells (”I thought we’d do it all together”). It fits this year’s theme - Love and Friendship - perfectly. If you listen closely, you’ll recognise a very well known melody right at the beginning.

Cast & transcript of this scene under the cut.

Recording date: 21 July 2007. This is not my recording.

Cast (in order of speaking): Owen Sharpe (Pippin Took), Richard Henders (Merry Brandybuck), Laura Michelle Kelly (Galadriel), James Loye (Frodo), Malcolm Storry (Gandalf), Andrew Jarvis (Elrond), Rosalie Craig (Arwen Evenstar), Peter Howe (Samwise Gamgee)

The narrator might be Michael Hobbs, but he is not credited anywhere.

Transcript:

This is my own transcript of the scene, not the official script.

NARRATOR: Frodo Baggins, however, seemed too often ill, with a kind of sickness that none of Mrs Bracegirdle’s remedies could cure. He rested for a month, then another. And one morning, at the end of summer, he looked out of his window at Bag End and saw the first autumn leaves falling from the trees.

GANDALF appears. After him, ELROND, ARWEN, GALADRIEL and BILBO. SAM, PIPPIN and MERRY approach.

PIPPIN: Frodo, look!

MERRY: What in the name of wonder…?

GALADRIEL steps forward and admires the flowers that have sprouted thanks to SAM’s care for the box of earth she had given him.

GALADRIEL: It is a wonder indeed. Lothlórien is no more, but her beauty is here reborn. You have used my gift well, Samwise Gamgee.

FRODO: This is it, then? All the Elves, and all the Immortals going across the Sea?

GANDALF Now is the time for the Dominion of Men. What shape that world will take, and how it will be to live in it, I will never know.

ELROND leads ARWEN forward.

ELROND: Arwen Evenstar stays with Aragorn in the Lands of Men to be his queen. She has chosen to become mortal.

ARWEN: I choose brief joy over everlasting loss. I will live and die by his side. I offer you my place on the Great Ship that will take my people into the West.

FRODO: Me?

GALADRIEL: Frodo Baggins, jewel among hobbits. If your hurts grieve you still and the memory of your burden is heavy, come with us and all your wounds and weariness will be healed.

BILBO comes to stand beside GALADRIEL.

BILBO: The two Ringbearers, together at last.

FRODO: One last journey. Yes, I will come. Wish me well, dear friends.

He embraces PIPPIN and MERRY and then turns to SAM.

FRODO: Goodbye, Sam.

SAM: No, Mr Frodo.

FRODO: You must stay here. You have Rosie now, and a baby due before spring. You’ve so much to enjoy, and be, and do.

SAM: I thought we’d do it all together.

FRODO: So did I, for a while. But I’m too badly hurt, Sam. I choose the evening, and your love is given to the morning. You know, everything we did was to save the Shire. And it has been saved, but not for me. All that I had and might have had I leave to you.

SAM and FRODO shake hands, and then embrace tightly, in tears.

SAM: I’ll make sure nobody forgets you. I’ll write it all down.

FRODO: Even the bad bits?

SAM: Especially the bad bits. I’ll make it an eye-opener and no mistake.

Just beyond the far horizon

Lies a waiting world unknown.

FRODO:

Like the dawn its beauty beckons

With a wonder all its own.

GANDALF: Come.

GALADRIEL: Over the Sea!

FRODO leaves with the Immortals.

NARRATOR: So Frodo Baggins boarded the Great Ship and passed onwards into the West, till a sweet fragrance on the air filled his senses and the sound of singing came over the water. And then it seemed to him that, as in a dream, the grey cloud was rolled back and he beheld white shores and, beyond them, a far green country. The Third Age of Middle-earth was over, the days of the Rings had passed and the story and song of those times was at an end.

Who is Malcolm X?

Malcolm X was born Malcolm Little on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. His mother was the National recording secretary for the Marcus Garvey Movement which commanded millions of followers in the 1920s and 30s. His father was a Baptist minister and chapter president of The Universal Negro Improvement Association who appealed to President Hoover that Marcus Garvey was wrongfully arrested. Earl’s civil rights activism prompted death threats from the white supremacist organization Black Legion, forcing the family to relocate twice before Malcolm’s fourth birthday.

Regardless of the Little’s efforts to elude the Legion, in 1929 their Lansing, Michigan home was burned to the ground. Two years later, Earl’s body was found lying across the town’s trolley tracks.

Police ruled both incidents as accidents, but the Little’s were certain that members of the Black Legion were responsible. Louise suffered emotional breakdown several years after the death of her husband and was committed to a mental institution. Her children were split up amongst various foster homes and orphanages.

Eventually Malcolm and his buddy, Malcolm “Shorty” Jarvis, moved back to Boston. In 1946 they were arrested and convicted on burglary charges, and Malcolm was sentenced to 10 years in prison. (He was paroled after serving seven years.) Recalling his days in school, he used the time to further his education. It was during this period of self-enlightenment that Malcolm’s brother Reginald would visit and discuss his recent conversion to the Muslim religion. Reginald belonged to the religious organization the Nation of Islam (NOI).

Intrigued, Malcolm began to study the teachings of NOI leader Elijah Muhammad. Muhammad taught that white society actively worked to keep African-Americans from empowering themselves and achieving political, economic and social success. Among other goals, the NOI fought for a state of their own, separate from one inhabited by white people. By the time he was paroled in 1952, Malcolm was a devoted follower with the new surname “X.” (He considered “Little” a slave name and chose the “X” to signify his lost tribal name.)

Intelligent and articulate, Malcolm was appointed as a minister and national spokesman for the Nation of Islam. Elijah Muhammad also charged him with establishing new mosques in cities such as Detroit, Michigan and Harlem, New York. Malcolm utilized newspaper columns, as well as radio and television to communicate the NOI’s message across the United States. His charisma, drive and conviction attracted an astounding number of new members. Malcolm was largely credited with increasing membership in the NOI from 500 in 1952 to 30,000 in 1963.

The crowds and controversy surrounding Malcolm made him a media magnet. He was featured in a week-long television special with Mike Wallace in 1959, called “The Hate That Hate Produced.” The program explored the fundamentals of the NOI, and tracked Malcolm’s emergence as one of its most important leaders. After the special, Malcolm was faced with the uncomfortable reality that his fame had eclipsed that of his mentor Elijah Muhammad. Racial tensions ran increasingly high during the early 1960s. In addition to the media, Malcolm’s vivid personality had captured the government’s attention. As membership in the NOI continued to grow, FBI agents infiltrated the organization (one even acted as Malcolm’s bodyguard) and secretly placed bugs, wiretaps, cameras and other surveillance equipment to monitor the group’s activities.

Malcolm’s faith was dealt a crushing blow at the height of the civil rights movement in 1963. He learned that his mentor and leader, Elijah Muhammad, was secretly having relations with as many as six women within the Nation of Islam organization. As if that were not enough, Malcolm found out that some of these relationships had resulted in children.

Since joining the NOI, Malcolm had strictly adhered to the teachings of Muhammad – which included remaining celibate until his marriage to Betty Shabazz in 1958. Malcolm refused Muhammad’s request to help cover up the affairs and subsequent children. He was deeply hurt by the deception of Muhammad, whom he had considered a living prophet. Malcolm also felt guilty about the masses he had led to join the NOI, which he now felt was a fraudulent organization built on too many lies to ignore.

Shortly after his shocking discovery, Malcolm received criticism for a comment he made regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. “[Kennedy] never foresaw that the chickens would come home to roost so soon,” said Malcolm. After the statement, Elijah Muhammad “silenced” Malcolm for 90 days. Malcolm, however, suspected he was silenced for another reason. In March 1964 Malcolm terminated his relationship with the NOI. Unable to look past Muhammad’s deception, Malcolm decided to found his own religious organization, the Muslim Mosque, Inc.

That same year, Malcolm went on a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The trip proved life altering. For the first time, Malcolm shared his thoughts and beliefs with different cultures, and found the response to be overwhelmingly positive. When he returned, Malcolm said he had met “blonde-haired, blued-eyed men I could call my brothers.” He returned to the United States with a new outlook on integration and a new hope for the future. This time when Malcolm spoke, instead of just preaching to African-Americans, he had a message for all races.

After Malcolm resigned his position in the Nation of Islam and renounced Elijah Muhammad, relations between the two had become increasingly volatile. FBI informants working undercover in the NOI warned officials that Malcolm had been marked for assassination. (One undercover officer had even been ordered to help plant a bomb in Malcolm’s car).

After repeated attempts on his life, Malcolm rarely travelled anywhere without bodyguards. On February 14, 1965 the home where Malcolm, Betty and their four daughters lived in East Elmhurst, New York was firebombed. Luckily, the family escaped physical injury.

One week later, however, Malcolm’s enemies were successful in their ruthless attempt. At a speaking engagement in the Manhattan’s Audubon Ballroom on February 21, 1965 three gunmen rushed Malcolm onstage. They shot him 15 times at close range. The 39-year-old was pronounced dead on arrival at New York’s Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.

Fifteen hundred people attended Malcolm’s funeral in Harlem on February 27, 1965 at the Faith Temple Church of God in Christ (now Child’s Memorial Temple Church of God in Christ). After the ceremony, friends took the shovels away from the waiting gravediggers and buried Malcolm themselves.

Later that year, Betty gave birth to their twin daughters.

Malcolm’s assassins, Talmadge Hayer, Norman 3X Butler and Thomas 15X Johnson were convicted of first-degree murder in March 1966. The three men were all members of the Nation of Islam.

The legacy of Malcolm X has moved through generations as the subject of numerous documentaries, books and movies. A tremendous resurgence of interest occurred in 1992 when director Spike Lee released the acclaimed movie, Malcolm X. The film received Oscar nominations for Best Actor (Denzel Washington) and Best Costume Design.

Malcolm X is buried at the Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York.

8 songs, 8 people

tagged by: @lovecanbesostrange

RULES: answer the 8 song prompts, then tag 8 people

1. favorite song at the moment: Probably "Hauch mich mal an" by Das Lumpenpack I don't listen to music a lot, but I like this song enough to have bought the entire album "Eine herbe Enttäuschung", which contrary to the title is absolutely not a bitter disappointment. It's all thanks to @famburasch-sohn-des-partram sharing a link to their concert stream at the very beginning of the pandemic :D

2. a song you associate with your favorite ship: Not a shipper, not very into music, so I have no answer to this.

3. a song that could be about you: "Sunshine" by Cosmo Jarvis (it hasn't even been warm for that long this year but I'm already sick of it - thankfully today it rained when I rode my bike back home so I could cool off a little)

4. a song you think is overrated: I honestly can't think of one, because when I'm not actively interested in the music that's playing it pretty much just goes in one ear and leaves out the other without leaving a lasting impression.

5. a song that reminds you of a good memory: "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum - they're my uncles favourite band and when they performed near where my mum lives he invited us to go

6. the last song you listened to: "Gay Pirates" by Cosmo Jarvis - one of the songs that are pretty much always in my playlist, because so far I've never felt like I wanted to skip it, when it came on. This one @pneu-monie recommended to me ages ago and I've since bought several of Cosmo Jarvis' albums.

7. a song that makes you laugh: "The Hotdog Man" by Tripod (or pretty much any of their other songs), "Prejudice" by Tim Minchin, "Malcolm" by The Arrogant Worms (and several other songs), "Der Pinguin" by Die Blutjungs (and also many more) - there's probably more because I like comedic music, but I'm gonna stop myself there xD

8. a song you want your mutuals to listen to: "Grandaddy" by Alex Horne & The Horne Section (ok, I lied, I didn't actually stop myself, I just moved one of the other song's that make me laugh to question 8)
