#Early Sound Recordings

[history105rockandrollblog]

Lecture 1: Irving Berlin’s “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” - Columbia recording from June 7, 1911. Composer and lyricist Irving Berlin (born Israel Beilin in the Russian Empire in 1888), along with a handful of other innovative songwriters in the early 20th Century, tapped into the increasingly homogeneous tastes in music, as well as the rampant consumerism, of the period. “Alexander’s Ragtime Band,” to many, seemed to symbolize the growing success of Tin Pin Alley. Berlin, a prolific musician who wrote over 1200 songs, would go on to become one of the most successful composers and songwriters in American history. His story, to many, would embody the “Rags to Riches” myth in the United States.

Life With The Lennons, Exclusive by Ray Coleman, April 1965 [x]

#john lennon #cynthia lennon #the beatles #ray coleman #kenwood #1965 #wish we had a specific date for this one #given this is around the same time as help! writing and LSD coffee spiking #im not sure ive read another pre-1968 interview that sounds more like bitter 70s john #but some interesting things here #his comments on growing old consider he later called this era his fat elvis period #his game with the press compared to paul #sounding more enthused about films than recording #the guy who told john ab contacts #early glasses johnny #an appearance of nigel the dog #how he uses soft to describe him but then uses it to barrage the idk radio hosts? #i'll follow the sun coming on the radio and the absurdity of saying paul was 10 when he wrote it #(he was 16 at the earliest possibly 17 or 18 and he didnt finish it until he was 22) #they're so weird with referring to their ages in the 60s like j&p just keep saying they met when they were 12 #(they were never 12 at the same time so its either shorthand or some absurd joke) #april 1965 #john speaks #text scans #ad lib club

I am literally obsessed with everything you do that involves sifloop you are THE sifloop artist to me

thank you!!! it means a lot to hear that haha

I've been like... near exclusively an OC artist for like 8 years at this point so every time i post fanart and ESPECIALLY ship art i feel like i have to fight every screaming cell in my body to post it because i feel like... RUDE? for projecting my own thoughts onto another creator's characters LMAO... so it's reassuring to know people actually like what i'm contributing!!

as for sifloop as a ship. i really should draw more isiloops because . rotates all three of them in my mind. but yeah. I think the thing I like most about the dynamic really is the like... way Siffrin and Loop canonically aggress each other despite an extremely persistent undercurrent of caring about the other not suffering.

Like. the back and forth between Loop constantly talking past/through Siffrin to really painfully insult the pair of them, and things like the [Forgetting Mirabelle's Name] event being so astoundingly gentle. just as a general example. (RNG event that only triggers after certain actions so you may need to look it up)

THEN adding the element of throwing them in postcanon with neither of them wanting to upset the party and thus having to keep a lid on it... I like the potential dynamics of such a painful and conflicted relationship having to be almost hidden and downplayed so as to try and not worry anyone, and thus becoming softer and introspective while still keeping a bunch of the more insidiously toxic behaviour.

Both of them acting with genuine best intentions in mind but still understanding each other to have way *way* more sadness and anger and guilt than they let on, and thus being able to clock it. Both for good and ill. Neither of them enjoy confrontation, but it's almost unavoidable when they KNOW the other knows what they're probably thinking.

. but yeah i just think they're neat! also a bunch of stuff related to asexuality but . shh

#also since. well. i dont know where else im gonna put this. because its CERTAINLY not going in the body of the text #an early way i worded my reading of Loop's characterisation when talking to my friends was: #'Loop is sexually frustrated in the same way as a poorly kept parrot' #WHICH SOUNDS INSANE but hear me out. if you know things about parrots you know they'll imprint on their owners. and it ruins their brains #parrots like this will see humans as potential mates and get AGGRESSIVE when nothing is happening! because... they aren't human. #the 'sexual' part of my reading is a bit of shock hyperbole but i basically mean they are socially/romantically/etc frustrated in this way #they are asexual obviously (... as am i for the record). but yknow. they and siffrin are both still ravenous for physical touch. #and loop... no longer being human. having that disconnect. BEING human FEELING human. but not being. #as well as literally physically lacking the ability for certain things. (staunch 'loop has no mouth and cannot kiss' truther here) #+ i think this is FASCINATING in context of both Siffrin and Loop's asexuality. its something i like thinking about. #two freaks who want intimacy but not in the 'normal' way. again as an ace myself. i think abt it #lucabytetalks #isat spoilers #sifloop

#ik bad news gig audio bootlegs exist but i meant video form! like how theres a bootleg full video of the monsters of rock gig! #1 i didnt add bc he did the show (in a diff role) again and theres a vid but.... ade as brad in rocky horror.. i wish there was a recording #also while doing this i found out ade had a sitcom with david mitchell that was lost for years but is now on youtube :) (drs and nurses) #britcom #rik mayall #ade edmondson #adrian edmondson #the young ones #bbc bottom #also i think the btm series 4 scripts were written bc i found a lot of forum posts about it but i couldnt find any archived news articles s #if its fake i wouldnt know sorry!! #and ade says in berserker they were never OFFERED a fourth series which sounds like they werent the ones that turned a fourth series down #so it sounds like they probably wouldve had scripts #also i bet theres so much early work lost media... the comic strip and tyo and filthy rich and catflap.... #but i didnt find any info abt any specific scenes/scripts missing #i wish outtakes for filthy rich and catflap and the dangerous brothers existed tho!! and more tyo outtakes!! bloopers my beloved

ok so obviously we have the gumball guardians, ricardio the heart guy, lady rainicorn, magic man, the jiggler (the jiggler! i didn't think we'd ever see him again! i love him!) and the lich, but who is that guy in the first gumball guardian's baby carrier thing? like that's a human baby right there right?

#im sure this is the most unimportant thing but it still caught my eye #also i need to share my excitement for the jiggler. one of my favorite super early episodes i could not tell you why #adventure time #fionna and cake spoilers #also also i'm not making this a separate post because im afraid of embarrassing myself if im wrong #but the pb in the winter prince's world sounds different right. like i dont think that's hynden walch #which is weird because she did ''additional voices'' in earlier eps #maybe she just had a cold when they recorded it or smth lmao #<- nevermind i was straight up wrong ✌️😋

CONSPIRACY THEORY TIME FOR SONIC PRIME S3'S PACING ISSUES+ MISSING 8TH EPISODE

Maybe they had another final act planned for s3, taking place after the big fight against Nine in the Grim (for example fighting the council), but they ended up cutting/rewriting it. So instead they expanded on the battle to pad out the season but still had to cut a whole episode. Thats why we only got 7 episodes.

Alternatively they had to cut an episode bc of outside forces - couldnt do the ending they wanted, fluffed up the middle instead. Maybe it happened late enough in the production so they couldn't do massive rewrites.

#amanda rambles #sonic prime spoilers #sonic prime #sonic blogging #IM HALF JOKING BTW. PLS TAKE THIS LIGHTLY. #and dont wanna sound like a 'secret episode' conspiracy theorist FOR REAL take this very lightly #but from my experience with weird media is that more often that not production is messy and things dont go according to plan #so it can be fun to lightheartedly theorize #BUT #FOR THE RECORD: #i think it's very likely they just wanted the biggest battle + bad writing #like this is not the most flawless best paced show of all time even before s3. #like sometimes it is just bad writing (sherlock s4) and it is what it is #but this would MAKE SENSE TO ME. LIKE IF THIS IS THE STORY EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT 100%. #if the battle was like 1 ep shorter and it ended with nine and sonic reconciling #the council steals the finished prism and they have to fight them in new yoke maybe at the same time as Sonic is partially fading away or s #like i cAN SEE THAT BEING AN EARLY DRAFT and then they ended up squeezing it all together for some reason #maybe it was some characterization they didnt like or whatever and so they had to rearrange stuff a.k.a domino effect

[stevethehairington]

man have you ever been in the middle of watching a show and you end up pausing for some reason and now, YEARS later, you want to pick it back up again, but you cannot for the LIFE of you remember what season you last left off on, but you don't want to start from the beginning bc you KNOW you made it through a big enough chunk of it and you don't want to rewatch?

#BECAUSE THATS ME RN WITH PROJECT RUNWAY #i KNOW i watched SEVERAL of the first seasons years ago #and i could have SWORN i watched the blood orange guy season but i googled it and thats season 10 and that does NOT sound right #like that sounds too far into it to be where i was #but there is no record of where i left off bc either the streaming service i was watching it on got rid of it #or i wasnt even using a streaming service and was 💀💀💀 it #anyways i guess i gotta just pick an early season at random and hope for the best lol #mack rambles

Lecture 1: Here is an early Thomas Edison sound recording from 1889. It’s a recording of “The Moon Hath Raised her Lamp Above,” by Julius Benedict, sung by Two Tenors with piano. it is from an Edison wax cylinder recording made in January 1889. It was made by Edison’s sound engineer, Walter H. Miller. Years earlier, Edison had recited “Mary Had a Little Lamb” on his first audio recording, made in 1877. The quality of sound recordings steadily improved over the years. In the course of the decade that would follow this particular undertaking, the 1890s, great strides would be made in the development of sound recordings.

Pls post your thoughts on 1989 TV! Like favorite vault track, how does it compare to the other re-recordings in terms of OG tracks being faithful or not/botched

I will later today! Outside on my laptop rn and I have screenshots on my phone that I'll probably post but it's upstairs and I am simply too lazy to go get it lmao

#gonna be honest in terms of the og tracks probably my least fav re-record but it's fine #vault tracks have grown on me immensely since my first listen but too early for me to compare the collective vaults to the other ones #definitely the least I've been obsessed with them though like the red vault was on repeat for MONTHS but I moved on pretty quick #this sounds very negative I did like it overall idk we'll get into specifics later #jake <3 #ask #my post

This is like extremely early stage but I've also got this concept for a song about this quest (as sort of a sibling to a song I wrote about the Springfest quest) called Dear Mr. Cleary and IDK. Sort of in the form of additional "letters" from Ivy Redsmith to Halson Cleary, trying to capture the idea of. Playing into the fact that she suspected her letters weren't being delivered. With themes of. Does it matter, in the end, saying kind things if nobody hears them? Doing good deeds if no one sees and if they don't end up helping anyone? Good intentions, if they never see the light of day? Just a vague idea:

Dear Mr. Cleary, are you out there, can you hear me? Send a sign if you can't hear my song for you. And if you can't hear me, then can anybody hear me? Is there anyone who'll know of me and you?

Dear Mr. Cleary, are you out there, can you hear me? The winter's long and dark and cold and grim. Dear Mr. Cleary, how I fear that you can't hear me. Will anyone but me say, "I knew him."

Dear Mr. Cleary, now I fear our tale is ending, And I fear you're somewhere out there all alone. Dear Mr. Cleary, with my last breath I am sending All my love; may it find you or your gravestone.

#lotro #dont judge too much because again like. early concept #these are chorus concepts they wouldnt be all together #thinking about a rotating chorus thats different every time #with the main repetition being the 'dear mr cleary' bits #also i just noticed that this scans to hey there delilah #not sure i like that #may have to scrap it and start again from the beginning #anyway if i can get my mic set up i might take a pass at recording borne aloft in springtime (the other song) #really want to release it with springfest some year #its like. basically done. but i havent synthed the instrumental is all #you know what that sounds like? work

for some reason my brain has very strong opinions on the music tastes of marble hornets characters & bc of this i cannot listen to almost any playlist for em cause theyre all Wrong

#tim listens to the combo of early 2000's dadrock and country/folk music #(bro owns a banjo. no normal person who doesnt listen to country music owns a banjo.) #scene kralie is very funny to me but also not far off #alex listens to early 90's emo and is VERY opinionated on it #he will rant at length about what does and does not constitute as emo music and does not care if you are listening #jay listens to 90's/2000's hardcore and just tunes out whatever the fuck alex is talking about #also like. the type of indie music that sounds like it was recorded in a garage and mixed on a toaster. #brian just listens to whatevers on the radio and doesnt think abt it farther than that #anything that wasnt like top 20's pop and country radio he got from tim #(they all however have the top 20's country songs at any given time memorized. only brian has them memorized willingly) #shut up virgil #i cant make a brian playlist cause id be laughing to hard listening to it #cause its just the Worst mixed bag of music #also me saying all the playlists are wrong is an exaggeration. do what you want lmao i am just very particular abt character playlists #id comment on like. jessica's but i have to read the comics to know more abt her #not enough info for my brain to grab hold of in the og

i'm writing a simple little round about siffrin, and i'm hoping i'll be able to actually produce the song in a timely matter bc it's mostly about the vocal harmonies (easy) rather than complex instrumentation (soo time consuming).

i started working on the lyrics on like thursday last week (so the day after i finished playing lol) and i think they're about done! and i did a rough recording on my ipad to sing the second part over and i think the round even all worked?? there's like. one pair of notes that are iffy out of all of the possible pairs of the four mini-verses. it's wild how easy i find it to sing two different parts and then they sound great layered, so much easier than instrumental layering... even though with instrument tracks in garageband i can check as i go, vs the pure vibes of just improvising two sung bits and then slapping them on top of each other?? i guess i just have the soul of a barbershop quartet...

#maybe i need to check as i go *less* with instruments and all the checking is actually pushing me back into simple chords when i need to be #getting more complex and interesting and even pseudo-clashing!! #anyway i can tell ive been getting better at songwriting bc im not satisfied with my early drafts anymore #it's excited!! #i wrote a couple of good-sounding verses and a chorus and then i was like NO. where's the thematic direction?? what exact concept are #you conveying here!! and it's supposed to be a round - a verse bridge and chorus that sound good on top of each other is NOT the #same thing as a round!! #so i kept working on it and it's so much stronger now! while a bit long for a round each piece does flow into the next without a #glaring new-verse divide - they're distinct sections but each equal-yet-different #i'm really excited to record it!!! #silverstarschat

forever grateful for the kind soul that has uploaded the 90s moomin anime estonian dub online, because my experience is just not the same if i can't hear the original jp voices in the background and kärt tomingas acting her goddamn heart out despite this 🙏

#unlike every other 90s/early 00s dub it's really good #but i have a lot of nostalgia for the bad ones too lol #bored man trapped in a recording booth doing the whole thing in one take ftw #that's what my childhood sounds like #i know i said i got moomins out of my system but -points at the moomintroll in my heart- #i also got fed up lining my actual comic wip and took a break to do a lil moominflavoured one instead because i have like #problems or whatever
