Lecture 6: “Little Old Lady from Pasadena” (1964): After Dick Dale pioneered instrumental surf rock in 1961-1962, bands and artists began adding vocals to the new sound. One of the first groups to find real success was the duo Jan and Dean (Jan Berry and Dean Torrence).  The two young men out of Los Angeles rode the surf craze wave to great heights.  Fame came in the summer of 1963 when they recorded “Surf City,” a song largely written by their friend Brian Wilson (of the Beach Boys).  Jan and Dean scored a number of other big hits, including “Drag City,” “Dead Man’s Curve” and “The Little Old Lady from Pasadena.”

You made so many good points here.

When I first watched Seasos 9 and 10, coming off of the brother turmoil of Season 8, they just bummed me out so hard. And they, more 10 than 9, just feel wrong, as anon mentioned. I like parts of Season 9 now, but I almost never watch Season 10 because it’s so one note. They actually use the words,”For Dean!” Like some kind of nerd crew.

I think a big problem with Dean being the one with the issue is that it just isn’t big or compelling enough. Demon Dean should have been awful and terrifying instead of a general dirtbag and a Jack Torrence rip off. Mark of Cain Dean is the flavour of Dean that I like least: broody, and boring with a dash of giving-up-ness. My biggest impression when I think back to season 10 is Dean staring at his arm. Lame.

I don’t know if it’s the writers or Jensen who were afraid to let Dean go fully dark, but whoever is at fault, it made the season feel low stakes and boring.

When Jared played soulless Sam he was a full on dick and actually off-putting at times, or even scary in his coldness. He’s clearly not afraid to lean into the jerk when necessary. And it makes his performance more compelling.

The fact that AAs say Season 10 is one of their faves shows that they just care about Jensen and not actually the brother dynamic or even a good story.

For late seasons, I really do like Season 11 though. Amaranth sucked, but lots of episodes are good. Supernatural is best when it’s a Sam or near 50/50 brothers storyline. Dean lead ones just don’t work. He’s the reaction protagonist a lot of the time and he works better that way.

Couldn't have said it better!

"He’s the reaction protagonist a lot of the time and he works better that way." Precisely!

Boss Radio 66: Aircheck Of The Week

Some called him the original shock jock. Joey Reynolds was known for pushing the envelope of what you could get away with on the radio in 1964. Here he is with over an hour on Buffalo’s WKBW.

BTW, here's some background on the news story at 21:41 and 47:46 about Dean Torrence (of Jan & Dean) and the Frank Sinatra Jr. kidnapping:

(via The Universal Coward - Jan & Dean (1965)

Jan Berry (1941-2004) was a member of Jan and Dean, a popular American duo who specialised in West Coast surf rock during the 1960s. Among their successful songs were Surf City, Dead Man’s Curve and The Little Old Lady from Pasadena. In late 1965 Berry penned The Universal Coward, an angry response to Donovan’s anti-war single Universal Soldier. He recorded and released it solo after his singing partner, Dean Torrence, refused to participate. The Universal Coward is a vitriolic attack on those who opposed the Vietnam War, describing them as “scroungers”, “twisted”, “fanatic” and “thick skulled”. It received little radio airplay and did not reach the charts.

that is some fucked-up counter-protest there

Probably going to use these in the zine at some point - not sure if together.

need to change/fix the join and the right edge border and maybe make the rainbow bleed/overlap the join onto the left side page if I do put them next to each other. Left image'll need editing so the parts that look solid black here don't look like shaded gray at full page size and just noticed on the right image it looks like Dennis has the edge of his face & hair sliced off.

Credits: Edited with Affinity Photo - rainbow overlays were one of their free downloads that came with the software iirc. Left design uses a photo that's originally from the Pacific Ocean Blue photo sessions & credited on the album to Dean Torrence, right design uses a photo originally by Jack Vartoogian (according to Getty).

Colours/background and singed edge were from using Film Burn, pt. 7 by Apropos Resources on Deviant Art as a blend layer
