"I get annoyed having to explain obvious mechanics"

"you're either playing your job or sabotaging"

Some of you really need to learn to accept the fact that there will always be new players who don't know things and that this is not only okay but necessary for the game's survival.

Born 100 years ago, Cordell Jackson was an American guitarist thought to be the first woman to produce, engineer, arrange and promote music on her own rock and roll music label.

Jackson founded the Moon Records label in Memphis in 1956. Unable to break into the Sun label's stable of male artists, she received the advice and assistance of RCA Records' Chet Atkins in forming this new label to release her music. She began releasing and promoting on the label singles she recorded in her studio.

As a staunch lover of that style of music I found Daisy jones and the six in both book and show form sooooo disappointing

#Such great material but I felt a bit like I did with Maisel with like #The creators wanting to make a whole series about an Art Form #But they also weren’t interested in that art form enough in particular the political contexts of it #Like they took both 50’s bitter leftist Jewish comedy during the McCarthy era - where comedy was the definition of politically incorrect - #As in. Incorrect for the 50’s WASP airbrushed McCarthy era - #And Daisy jones doesn’t sink it’s teeth into how politically the last 60’s/early 70’s folk and rock scenes were #For a whole series I think that was something it needed to chew on far more #Like what is art what is the purpose of art what does art MEAN to people #The era feels more like an aesthetic than the all confining Reality in which people are living in #There’s a great New York Times review of the theory of everything that mentions how much movies struggle to be #ABOUT art and science and visualize what that means #And YEAH! DJATS should have had an easier time with people actually performing #Doesn’t do as good a job as we are lady parts or Mozart in the jungle or station eleven

Today's compilation:

Baby Boomer Classics: Heart & Soul Fifties 1985/1988 R&B / Rock & Roll

Folks, I gotta say, for how short this release is—13 songs that amount to only about half an hour—this might be the most potent 50s comp that I've ever come across in my many years of collecting. See, there's plenty of nostalgic comps out there that just slap together a bunch of chart-busters and then call it a day without giving much of any thought to how much juice any of the selections may still actually have, but when the California-based JCI label put this dispatch from their Baby Boomer Classics series together in 1985, and then re-released it again in 1988 with a replacement of Wilbert Harrison's terrifically catchy R&B classic, "Kansas City," with Joe Turner's "Corinne, Corrina," they seemed to be far more concerned with how good the actual songs still sounded rather than with how well they charted back in the day.

And to be clear, most of these songs still did chart very well themselves anyway, but do you know how many big hits there were in the 50s that don't really sound that great anymore? A whole lot. And JCI didn't end up picking any of those for this album; these selections that they made almost four whole decades ago are still really no worse for wear than they were when they first came out. And that's pretty remarkable, given how much music from the 50s really doesn't quite strike like it used to anymore.

Now, if you already know your oldies like the back of your own hand, you're probably not gonna find much utility in this album, because even though there's no real lackluster filler in this small set, you're likely to be very familiar with these tunes already. But if you're someone who's never really been exposed to much in the way of great 50s music before, I really cannot recommend this album enough as your starter pack. You've got probably my favorite 50s hit of all time on this thing in Lloyd Price's "Stagger Lee"—a song so good that it legitimately has the capacity to turn me misty-eyed, even though I was born long after the 50s and have no personal nostalgic attachment to it whatsoever—as well as one of the greatest pieces of loud and dynamic group doo wop that's ever been recorded too: The Silhouettes' "Get a Job." And on top of that is Little Richard's "Lucille," plus Smiley Lewis' "I Hear You Knocking," which Little Richard would go on to cover himself too, as well as Welshman Dave Edmunds, who would deliver a great blues-rock version of it in 1970 🤘.

But, as seems to be a feature and not a bug with this Baby Boomer Classics series at this point, another one of the best songs on this record, which also happens to be probably its most obscure selection too, is a tune that's not actually from the 50s: Bobby Bland's "Turn On Your Love Light," which came out in 1961. While the rest of the songs on this album were big top-ten or top-twenty hits, this one only made it to #28 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart; so when it comes to this oldies comp wing of the music industry, this is not a tune that you're gonna come across very often. But it's a total gem, with a sweet and uptempo, shuffling drumbeat that's made to bolster Bobby Bland's own soulful voice that hits some really satisfying points of throaty gravelliness throughout 🥹.

I'm really in awe over how well JCI managed to nail this one. An assorted cream of the 50s crop right here in just 13 songs. Not an easy thing to pull off, but these are some really stellar choices 👍.

Highlights:

Wilbert Harrison - "Kansas City" Thurston Harris - "Little Bitty Pretty One" Bobby Bland - "Turn On Your Love Light" Little Richard - "Lucille" The Silhouettes - "Get a Job" Clyde McPhatter - "Lover Please" Smiley Lewis - "I Hear You Knocking" Lloyd Price - "Stagger Lee"

My primary school teacher loves Elvis Presley, and on the 25th June three years ago, she asked me to draw him for her. So I did.

I chose to draw him in one of his famous looks of the 50’s for the film Jailhouse Rock (1957). 🚨🎸

Looking back, I’m not entirely pleased with how I drew his face. If I were to do this again, I’d definitely change it. The way his eyes close looks weird to me too. His lashes are too long! I’d also make his hair a lot bigger and more like…you know…like Elvis! I do, however, like how his clothes came out and the way I coloured them in. I’m still impressed with how I managed to accurately replicate the crease and shine of his shoes. Overall, I think I did okay.
