Joni Mitchell laughing with joy is among the sweetest of sounds heard on At Newport.
That laughter is often and unfortunately, however, cut when the album inexplicably fades between tracks and/or head cheerleader Brandi Carlile inserts herself unnecessarily into the proceedings.
At Newport is, thus, less a Joni Mitchell album and more a celebration of Joni Mitchell. And in that regard, it is hugely successful.
It documents Mitchell’s first gig in more than two decades with a cast of musical friends and admirers at the 2022 Newport Folk Festival. Led by Carlile, the Joni Jam band includes Lucius, guitarists Taylor Goldsmith and Celisse, pianist Ben Lusher, percussionists Marcus Mumford and Matt Chamberlain, Allison Russell on clarinet and others.
Everyone sings.
Including, of course, Mitchell, whose voice has deepened and become less agile. But being a vocalist extraordinaire, Mitchell knows how to work her diminished instrumental and coax all it has to give, even as she struggles to keep up on uptempo ensemble pieces such as “Carey.”
Her 2015 brain aneurysm be damned, the 78-in-2022 Mitchell shines on ballads such as “Amelia,” “Both Sides Now” and “Summertime.” She even picks up an electric guitar for “Just Like this Train” to the delight of the appreciative audience, which roars with approval every time Mitchell nails a note.
And even when she doesn’t.
For her part, Mitchell is tickled, cackling between - and occasionally during - numbers, recalling Hejira as among her favorite albums and offering support when her collaborators take over, as Lucius do on “Big Yellow Taxi” and Celisse does on “Help Me.”
Late 1960s Austin psychedelia meets late 1970s London post-punk (call it Experimental, call it Art Rock, just don't call it Progressive) Mayo Thompson of Red Crayola (label mates of perhaps better know Austin psychedelic band The 13th Floor Elevators) moved to England in the 1970s and joined art collective Art & Language. Thompson produced many Rough Trade Records releases between 1979-1981 including pre-pop Scritti Politti, The Raincoats, The Monochrome Set, The Fall, Cabaret Voltaire
This led to the reforming the Red Crayola as The Red Krayola (for legal reasons) with Mayo Thompson leading the band
Black Snakes was The Red Krayola With Art & Language's third studio album. The line-up changed from 1981's Kangaroo?, Epic Soundtracks (A-T-2 182), Lora Logic (ex-X-Ray Specs), and Gina Birch (The Raincoats) had all left. The Black Snakes line-up keeps Ben Annesley (Essential Logic), Pere Ubu's Allen Ravenstine (Mayo Thompson had joined Pere Ubu in 1980 when their new band sign to Rough Trade) the new member is Chris Taylor (of Gong)

Red Krayola put out 1983 Three Songs on a Trip to the United States, it's a short album by Thompson and Ravenstine (both now in Pere Ubu) with the re-addition of Jesse Chamberlain on drums. Chamberlain had played on Art & Language's debut record as well as Red Krayola's return under the leadership of Mayo Thompson Soldier-Talk (most of the live tracks on Three Songs on a Trip to the United States are from the Soldier-Talk era, recorded in Cologne, Germany, 28th August 1983). Chamberlain had been drummer for The Necessaries (A-T-2 238) and backed Elliot Murphy on the albums Murph The Surf and Milwaukee

Lizzie Borden's feminist sci-fi movie Born In Flames is released in 1983. It gets it's name from The Red Crayola's 1980 single (written by Art & Language, performed by the same line-up as Kangaroo?), is also used in the movie

Here we continue our look at the 1938 two-volume edition of Oscar Wilde’s one-act play, Salome, published by the Limited Editions Club in an edition of 1,500. Catch up on Part One here.
The English-language volume was printed at The Fanfare Press in London under the direction of Ernest Ingram. Illustrations for the English volume are by Aubrey Beardsley, reproduced from the First English Edition (London: Elkin Mathews and John Lane, 1894). Aubrey had produced sixteen drawings to accompany Wilde’s play, but John Lane had omitted four of them from the original publication and had expurgated two more. It was learning about these additional Beardsley illustrations, as well as Wilde’s lukewarm feelings for the English translation, that sparked the idea to produce two volumes for the work. The Limited Editions Club was able to obtain clear reproductions of Beardsley’s original drawings and included all sixteen (unedited!) in their edition.
Ingram selected Bembo type “because of its crisp design, which harmonizes with the pen line in the Beardsley drawings; and because if its rich black color, which harmonizes with the rich blackness of the Beardsley drawings.” It is the same type used in the Limited Editions Club/Yale University Press edition of W. Somerset Maugham’s Of Human Bondage that we just posted about last week. It is printed on a cream-colored, mould-made rag paper created for the production of this volume in Holland.
Compare Ingram’s design work on the English volume to René Ben Sussan’s choices for the French volume:
It was Beardsley himself who had first attempted to translate the play into English, but Wilde disapproved of the translation and refused to permit its publication. Ultimately, Wilde’s paramour, the poet Lord Alfred Douglas, translated the work, reportedly with extensive revisions by Wilde.
The play was immediately controversial in England for its depictions of biblical characters. The famous French actress Sarah Bernhardt was to play the titular role in the 1892 season at the Royal English Opera House. However, it was unlawful at that time to perform plays that were not approved by the Lord Chamberlain, and an interdiction against the portrayal of biblical characters on the stage halted rehearsals. The play was eventually produced in Paris in 1896, but Wilde never saw it performed. By that time, Wilde had been charged with sodomy and “gross indecency with men” and was sentenced to two years hard labor. Upon his release, Wilde returned to France and would never again set foot on British soil. He died, exiled and impoverished, three years later.

Queens could, of course, be involved in more overtly worldly patronage, often in an intercessory role. A well-documented example is the involvement of the Mercers' Company of London with Elizabeth Woodville in the late 1470s. The queen first interceded for the merchants in 1478, regarding a "fraye" between the king's servants and some London citizens. By December 1479 the company had a much more serious problem; it owed the king an onerous sum for non-payment of its subsidy, and for its alleviation it looked to both Elizabeth and the king's chamberlain (William, Lord Hastings). From the beginning the queen's abilities were recognized as exceptional, not only by the company but by Hastings, who encouraged the merchants to cultivate her rather than himself. In January 1480, after the merchants had given "grete lawde & thanke" to their court connections, including Thomas Grey and "the lord Ryvers", they reported that Hastings had cautioned them "to be more secrete of theyre frendes and that non avaunt be made who that is frendly and laboureth for us Except the quenes good grace oonly, whiche that is, & always hath ben, oure verrey good & gracious lady in the said mater & c.". Evidently dealing with the queen alone would get the company into less political trouble than open lobbying of her relatives -- an indication, perhaps, that Elizabeth was not considered one and the same with "the Woodvilles".
By 8 January 1480, the queen had managed to convince Edward to forgive 500 marks (£333 6s. lOd.) of the fine, and the company decided that she was their most promising option; four days later the fine was further reduced by the same amount.

our most murderous event ever, and all thanks to you. but it could have been far more murderous if your investigations didn't stop them, and that's also thanks to you <3 so wonderful job, everyone.
For the 'Twas the Night Before New Years plot drop, you are able to post open starters and create closed starters with whoever you'd like. But, in promotion of branching out and developing next connections with other characters, we, your admins, challenge you to write a thread with your pairing below. We have grouped characters together who we've noticed don't interact as much as maybe some other characters do, in the hope of creating new connections and inspiring muse. There is no deadline for creating the below pairing threads and the below pairing threads aren't mandatory (in case your partner goes on hiatus or is unavailable during the span of the event etc.), but we hope the pairings will inspire you.
THE PAIRINGS ARE AS FOLLOWED...
Poppy Reed & Eren Öztürk

Mason Mahir & Selin Yildiz
Rae Elle Park, Noelia Delaney-Yassin & Dilan Selvi
Star Wars and Dark Crystal are only the franchise that It made you cry because Anakin Skywalker dies in Return of Jedi while his family dies in sequel of Trilogy while in Dark Crystal, the Garthim killed the Gelflings and even SkekSil the Chamberlain killed Rian and Deet that Jen and Kira remain the only Gelflings in the movie.
The actors are very great that they play the characters from Star Wars(especially in Live Action) and Dark Crystal(especially Age of Resistance) than Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Stephen Garlick and Lisa Maxwell.
Emilia Clarke was the Bond between Dark Crystal and Star Wars that She reveals at the audience that Rian and Deet are Jen's parents while Ezra Bridger and Sabine Wren are Foster Parents of Ben Solo and because Anakin takes care of Ezra in Bad Batch After Revenge of the Sith.
The actors of Game of Thrones, including Nathalie Emmanuel, Ralph Ineson, Natalie Dormer and Lena Headey, while they were celebrating the 15th anniversary of Game of Thrones books since 1996, were the Key to play Gelflings in the prequel of Dark Crystal because they are more melodramatic and more great and more Shakespearean than the movie Dark Crystal.
In the Mandalorian, we see Ezra Bridger(played by Mena Massoud) and Hera Syndulla(played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead the wife of Ewan McGregor) made a drama argue about the future of Ben Solo and so Star Wars including Prequel Trilogy, Clone Wars, Rebels, Solo a star wars Story and the Mandalorian especially Live Action are more Shakespearean than original Trilogy of Star Wars and because those actors are more great than Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher while Clone Wars and Rebels are few cartoonist even the voice actors
