"Here we are then. They're not my cup of tea but I hope you like them - The Shadows!" - unknown announcer welcoming the band to the stage (as recounted by Brian Bennett).

I feel like we can't understand the early 60's music these days thanks to the fact we constantly misremember the context of the period. Yes, we tend to make a lot of sweeping generalizations without noticing most of the latter occurred thanks to our confirmation biases. I mean, sure, rock became the dominant form of popular music, but this didn't just happen. The Shadows, for instance, already worked as a backing band for a popular singer, before they established their own brand. However, their path towards themselves resembled many of their peers, i.e. they didn't just stumble upon rock, they developed the latter in their own view. All the compilations mostly tell of the highlights, very few can provide us with a glimpse into the complexities of the ear we discuss.

Stevie Wonder - Music Of My Mind

Fourteen entire albums into his career Stevie Wonder finally renegotiated his contract and began his classic era and the greatest five album streak in musical history. It may lack the smash hits of his other classic era records, but it does have beautiful lengthy soul explorations and the smooth synth sounds that would become a staple of his music for the rest of his career. I could say more but let's be real the, rest of his classic albums are gonna be on this list so I'll see you again when either Fullfillingness' First Finale or Innervision come up.

MC5 - Kick Out The Jams

There is no one birthplace of punk rock. The Sonic's Strychnine? The Trashmen's Surfin' Bird? OR maybe it's MC5's Kick Out The Jams. It's none of these, but for when it came out Kick Out The Jams was the most punk rock song 5hat had ever been written. Heavy distorted guitars, nearly unintelligible lyrics and an attitude that got them banned throughout the US. They have the zero fucks about production quality attitude of their early 60s predecessors but with a heavy raw energy that was brand new for the time. Plus these guys were hardcore leftist anarchists and some of their lyrics reflect this. So that's pretty great.

Gillian Welch - Time (The Revelator)

It's hard to describe the exact way Gillian Welch handles time as a theme on this album. Only one song really goes for a 'can never get back the past' kinda vibe the rest treat time like a place you can visit. A loving detachment might be the right way to put it. When she sings about Elvis the song is about his debut tv appearance, but is sung with all the hopefulness of someone who knew and loved him and all the despair of someone who already knows where he'll end up. In April The 14 Part I and Ruination Day Part II she sing about three different tragedies that happened on April 14, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the sinking of the Titanic, and the black Sunday dust storm of the great depression. These events are unrelated, but sung about as if there is some deeper meaning to it all. As if people need to make a connection or else what was the point? If they aren't linked in some magical way then they are just horrible tragedies with no purpose. Welch uses time to make some meaning in these events. It's an album that is stuck in the past from the subject matter to the style. And there are no rose tinted glasses, some things are sweet and some things are horrible but they are all a little distant from us in the present and Gillian Welch captures that distance in a way that I didn't even know was possible.

GZA - Liquid Swords

Every Wu-Tang solo album may have featured every member of the crew, but that does not mean they all sound the same. RZA crafted beats for individual members to suit their aesthetics and my god does that mean this album has kung Fu movie samples. GZAs flow was probably the tightest and punchiest so his album has these striking synth strings and stark beats. And the attention to detail is amazing, for example the most notable vocal samples are in the beats for Living In The World Today and Shadowboxin' the two song featuring Method Man, whose solo work has a lot more vocal samples. It might seem like 8m hyping up RZAs work on this GZA album, but cmon you know that GZA raps good. I'm telling you why this album is as good as all the hip hop nerds say it is.

Arctic Monkeys - AM

I like Arctic Monkeys just fine, but this album just isn't the one. Their first two are great bubbly punk records and the one directly after this nails the Bowie-esque art rock much better than AM does. It's not strictly bad, but I forgot that it was playing and only really perked up after it was over when Spotify started auto playing a track from their first record.

Bruce Springsteen - The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle

This is the real start to Springsteen's career. His sophomore release sees him explode into his street fairytale working class poet self. This album sees Springsteen and his E Street Band in their element, writing songs that run between four and a half and ten minutes. Gone are the solo tracks of his debut instead showcasing a full band on every track providing dramatic backing and dynamics like an E Street opera. And let me tell you, this is one of his weaker albums. Springsteen is a beast and always a treat to listen to.

Toots & The Maytals - Funky Kingston

Oh Rolling Stone, how badly you have fucked up. I'm so excited to tell you how ignorant these fuckers are 😈. Funky Kingston is a 1973 album by Toots & the Maytals. The Rolling Stone list gives this 1973 date for the album's release. But what they reviewed seems to be a completely different album. Pressure Drop? Take Me Home, County Roads? Those songs aren't on 1973s Funky Kingston what going on? Well you see in 1975 an album titled Funky Kingston and sporting the same cover art was released for American audiences. That album contained three tracks from the og Funky Kingston, Pressure Drop from The Harder They Come soundtrack, and the rest from In The Dark. This is the album they actually reviewed. They said they reviewed 1973 Funky Kingston but it was actually 1975 Funky Kingston! I'm so sorry Toots Hibbert that your review was just me dunking on Rolling Stone. Listen to Funky Kingston, In The Dark, and The Harder They Come. They're all really good.

Sly & The Family Stone - Greatest Hits

Why don't we get any greatest hits from white artists on this list? Why is it only black music that gets an overview instead of a deep dive? Listen to Stand! and There A Riot Going On. I guess this has some value since Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) was only released as a single.

The Beatles - Let It Be

So I guess I should reveal to y'all that I am not a hater. I actually like The Beatles so if you wanted to see me roast them well sorry. Plot twist! I'm gonna roast Phil Spector. Yeah this album isn't great, but it is largely a matter of production. This was supposed to be a return to their roots for The Beatles so they hired Phil Spector to produce. Unfortunately by 1970 Spector was an out of touch maniac. He tried to remove every hint of imperfection and wound up throwing orchestra where it didn't belong and generally doing a half assed job. The Long and Winding Road is butchered by the production and honestly Let It Be is overproduced as well. There are a few gems though, I think that I've Got A Feeling is one of their best songs and Two Of Us is super charming. Unfortunately most of the album just falls into mediocrity due to poor production. And I know it's the production because there are multiple pre Spector bootlegs that show how this album should have sounded and they're generally fantastic.

This unfunny comedy's catchy trailer played on every second VHS cassette I would watch the late 80s–early 90s. Lewis has a fun cameo as one of the court's jury members. Selleck doesn't have fun though.

Due to massive demand I am posting another Cliff Richard video. This time a fabulous duet with the stunning Dame Edna Everage who could really belt out a tune when she needed to. What a way to start the weekend!

I Could Easily Fall (in Love With You) was originally a hit in 1964 for Cliff Richard and The Shadows. The writing credit went to the four Shadows (Bruce Welch, Hank Marvin, Brian Bennett and the late John Rostill, who was their third bass player). It was produced, like their other hits from that period, by easy listening legend Norrie Paramor. A live performance by Cliff and the Shads (with their Burns guitars) from 1965 below.

North Node Aries ♈︎ South Node Libra ♎︎ Musicians

(left to right) Mariah Carey, Frank Ocean, Wiz Khalifa, Kendrick Lamar, Kesha, Bruce Springsteen, Celine Dion, Florence Welch, Solange Knowles

The karma that an Aries NN, Libra SN faces consists of past lives where the native not only lived through other people, but based their identity on how other people felt about them. Continuous people pleasers, causing a resentment to others who don’t reciprocate the good energy back to them. There is also a huge need to try to speak for everyone, be diplomatic and concise, but throughout this life, the universe pushes them to learn and get to know themself. Aries NN asks: Who cares what other people think, do you even really know yourself? It brings a necessary drive for these individuals to be creative, find their power, and ultimately find out who they really are.

One thing that I see throughout these musicians, is their music usually reflects dependency within romantic relationships or their relationship with the world.

Mariah Carey has a 0 degree Aries North Node. Majority of her music focuses on romantic relationships, and specifically love that doesn’t come easy. 0 degree represents this is Mariah’s first life where she is able to be independent in any way.

“You have given me the courage to be all I can. And I truly feel your heart will lead you back to me. When you’re ready to land.” The Butterfly.

Frank Ocean has a 1 degree Aries North Node in the 5th house, South Node in the 11th House. His music is incredibly nostalgic, and will teleport listeners to times when life was prettier and more fun, which are 5th house themes. In past lives, Ocean was incredibly involved in his community, but this life he is learning to just enjoy life and creating things that speak his trouble with being so emotionally connected to past lovers.

“I care for you still and I will, forever. That was my part of the deal, honest.” White Ferrari.

Wiz Khalifa has a 2 degree Aries NN in 3rd house, SN in the 9th House. Khalifa’s top hits are collaborations, which is extremely shown through the 3rd house. The 3rd house represents groups, childhood friendships, siblings, and blind trust. His music is fun, and expresses his loyalty to his friends. In past lives, Khalifa spent most of his time pondering on karma, which is why in this life he values trust within his friendships so much.

“When brotherhood come first, then the line will never be crossed.” See You Again.

Kendrick Lamar has a 8 degree NN in the 6th house, SN in the 12th house. Lamar’s music reflects the constant grind he is on to make his own way in the world, independent from others. In past lives, Lamar was heavily controlled, maybe even through legal means, and in this life he feels the need to constantly work so he isn’t stagnant enough for anyone to take advantage of him. It’s hard for him to trust the universe, and instead he feels the need to go above and beyond to make sure he is taking care of himself.

“In another life I would be perfect world, I don’t trust people enough beyond their surface world, I don’t love people enough to put my faith in man, I put my faith in these lyrics hoping I make a band.” PRIDE.

Kesha has 11 degree NN. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find her houses, but if we compare her to Carey, we see that she has a higher degree, which means she is further along the aries NN lessons. For example, after she made her accusations public against Dr. Luke, her music became a lot more independent and genuine to her. Marriah also has genuine music, but her music has a fixation on romantic relationships. Kesha is clearly learning how to stop putting others before herself, which is key to aries NN, Libra SN natives.

“I can thank you for how strong I have become, cause you brought the flames and you put me through hell. I had to learn how to fight for myself.” Praying.

Bruce Springsteen has a 16 degree NN in 11th house, SN in the 5th house. This is opposite of Ocean’s. Springsteen’s music has heavy patriotic themes, which is very 11th house, but his lyrics more so call out the delusion of the American dream, which highlights the individualism of Aries. In past lives, Springsteen focused on pleasing passing flings, and in this life he finds speaking on how majority of people really feel is his destiny. He likes expressing the grim, rebellious reality (aries) of the collective he was born in, America (11th house).

“At night, we ride through mansions of glory, in suicide machines.” Born to Run.

Celine Dion has a 18 degree NN in the 10th house, SN in 4th house. One of Celine’s greatest hits is from the movie titanic, which is very 10th house of her. The 10th house rules over reputation and fame, and in this case, it expresses that she is known by something that has more reputation than her, a box office hit. In past lives, she was always striving for her family’s acceptance, so in this life she finds acceptance through making a good career for herself. I don’t know much about her personally, but based on this placement it seems like she might avoid talking about the family she grew up in.

“I’m your lady and you are my man, whenever you reach for me I’m gonna do all that I can.” The Power of Love.

Florence Welch has a 22 degree NN. Majority of Florence + The Machine’s music focuses on all encompassing love, which Libra SN’s know very well. Florence has a realist take on what she experiences, but positive and negative. Throughout their discography, you notice that Florence learns more of independence, and finding love without having to contort to someone else’s standards.

“Leave all your love and longing behind, you can’t carry it with you if you want to survive.” Dog Days are Over.

Solange has a 28 degree NN. Her music celebrates her individuality (Aries), her culture, and grief (Libra). This is another artist where I wish I knew what house it sits in, but overall Solange captures the way she feels perfectly within her music. She can go from heavy themes to songs that are more fun, which is the perfect balance of Aries NN, Libra SN!

“Now I don’t want to bite the hand that’ll show me the other side, but I didn’t want to build the land that has fed you your whole life.” Don’t You Wait.

13 April 1963

The Beatles met Cliff Richard for the first time at a house party given by Shadows' guitarist Bruce Welch. They did not immediately explode into a rivalry, though in later years both Cliff and Paul would claim that they never got to record in studio 2 of Abbey Road because the other one was always in there. (Somehow they still made records.)

I want to make a Ric from The Young Ones joke but no one will get it.

Haunted States of America: Iowa

Ghosts of the Amana Colonies (1988) by Lori Erickson

The Amana Colonies are a group of villages in central Iowa settled by German Radical Pietists in the mid-1850s. They emphasized an isolated communal society and self-sufficiency, with minimal contact to broader Iowan culture until the Great Depression. At this point, financial and social changes forced the members to become more involved in the outside world. Today, the villages are on the National Register of Historic Places and have a strong tourist industry.

Ghosts of the Amana Colonies asks us to consider stories from the villages with chapter titles like "The Hope Chest," "The German Grandmother," "Tina and Marie," "The Kitchen Boss," and "The Ghost Corner," among others.

We don't have many other books about the Amana Colonies save for the book A Collection of Traditional Amana Recipes (1948 and 1976) by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Homestead Welfare Club, but you can find several other books about ghosts in Iowa:

Ghosts of Des Moines County, Iowa (1986) by Bruce Carlson

Ghosts of Polk County, Iowa (1988) by Tom Welch

Ghostly Tales of Northeast Iowa: Allamakee, Clayton, Fayette, and Winneshiek Counties (1988) by Ruth D. Hein and Vicky L. Hinsenbrock
