I’m incredibly bored and could use some positive feedback so here’s a Fallout: New Vegas fic chapter I did.

Chapter 1

Tesla got up with the alarm from her Pip-Boy. The whole time she’d been in Novac, she’d spoken to nearly everybody, gathering as much information as she could about the man in the checkered suit that had shot her in the head a couple weeks ago.

Manny Vargas had turned out to be the jackpot when it came to knowledge on the guy. He told her his name was Benny, and the people he was with were the Khans, members of the gang he once ran with before joining the NCR.

She stood and dressed in her reinforced leather armor and gingerly tied her bandana around her head to hide, or at least somewhat cover, the wounds on her from the gunshot that should ave ended her life. The wounds had closed well and no longer bled, but they were still tender, red and inflamed. Under the gauze they certainly didn’t look too pretty. She wasn’t exactly self-conscious, but she also didn’t like having people stare at the large, white pads of gauze when she was trying to talk to them.

She strapped her rifle, pistol and shotgun into place and habitually packed as many bullets into her pockets as could fit before stepping out of the hotel room, only to let out a groan moments later. Every time she left the room the first thing she saw was the ass-end of Dinky the Dumbass Dinobitch, as she’d started calling it.

The town itself wasn’t bad. The people were nice and it had a hell of a lot of traders running through, most with different guns and armor she loved to barter for.

But that stupid ass dinosaur.

Were she a bigger bitch than she was, she’d burn the stupid thing to the ground.

Even so, she had to admit it was a half decent sniper’s nest, even if one could only see about 180 degrees from it unless sitting outside on top of its head.

Regardless, the dinosaur was where she needed to go. It was 10 at night, and Manny, the daytime sniper and all around great guy, had told her a few days ago that there was a sniper that took over around 9 pm when he left the perch in the dinosaur’s mouth. He’d said the man’s name was Craig Boone, or just Boone, and he was thus far the only person she’d yet to talk to.

Wanting to make sure she could get together every last scrap of evidence on Benny that she could, she’d resolved to go talk to the man when she had the time. She’d exhausted the needs of the townsfolk for help, and had taken a day to herself, so now was the time.

Plus Manny had mentioned that Boone, like himself, was an ex-NCR sniper, and that Manny had been his spotter back when they were enlisted. Though he also mentioned that he and Boone weren’t exactly on speaking terms anymore since Manny had apparently highly disliked Boone’s wife. And apparently things had gotten worse since his wife, Carla, had mysteriously disappeared.

Tesla still couldn’t help but wonder if she’d somehow been involved with the NCR before being a courier. The things she could do just didn’t seem… average. Any time she ran across NCR soldiers of status or rangers, she asked if any of them recognized her. If they knew her. She’d done the same with Manny, but Manny was certain that he didn’t know her. And since he’d been Boone’s spotter, it was unlikely that Boone knew her either. Still, she had to ask.

Tesla decided to forgo the stairs. Instead she hopped over the railing, landed crouched on the railing of the stairs below her then jumped off and landed on the ground. After about a week of being conscious and in a stint of boredom, she found she had amazing balance for things like this. She’d decided to do it whenever she could, hoping that it might jog more memories, or at least muscle memories, left over from before she’d been shot.

Readjusting her hunting rifle, Tesla made her way to the stairs leading up, quite literally, into the ass of the dinosaur. “Hey, Cliff,” she greeted when she saw the older man standing behind the counter. Why the hell he was still tending the souvenir shop in the wooden dinosaur’s lower intestines at 10pm, she had no idea. Most people liked to sleep, but apparently not Cliff.

“Welcome back. Can I get you anything?” he asked.

“Actually I’m looking for the night sniper. Boone?”

“Uh, yeah. He’s up there already. Though I should warn you, he’s not exactly friendly,” Cliff said, a strange, uncomfortable note in his voice.

Tesla shrugged. “He’s the only one in Novac I haven’t spoken to yet. Can’t just leave without making an attempt. He might know something important.”

“Well then I wish you good luck. A lot of good luck. And patience.”

Tesla waved at Cliff before ascending the stairs and walking through the door into the sniper’s nest. She saw a man in a white-ish shirt, brown pants and a red beret. Manny wore a similar beret, but staring at this man, she realized she’d seen him before in passing when she was in the motel courtyard at night. She took a step closer, the man seeming completely oblivious to her presence.

“Are you Craig Boone?”

The man spun around, startled. “Goddamn it! Don’t sneak up on me like that.” he snapped at her, his tone short and venomous.

She raised an eyebrow at his tone. “Sneak up on you? I walked through a door four feet from your backside. I wouldn’t exactly call that sneaking,” she said, pointing to the door with her thumb. “Still, I’ll take that as a yes.”

The man gave her an impressive scowl. “What do you want?”

“What? Expecting company?” she asked, the slightest teasing tone in her voice. Most people probably wouldn’t poke at a guy that didn’t seemed thrilled at their presence and who was also packing a rather large rifle, but she was by no means not armed herself.

Plus, if he did something stupid, she could always kick him out of the dinosaur. Boone was a pretty big, muscular guy, but she knew how to knock an enemy off balance, no matter their size.

“Yeah. I guess maybe I am. But not like you,” he said, his tone quick and evasive. The man paused as he looked at her. “Huh. Maybe it should’ve been you I was expecting all along,” he then said, his tone going from angry to thoughtful, as though his mind was half elsewhere. “Why are you here?” he asked, his tone short once again.

“Easy, tiger. Look, if you’re looking for someone in particular, I could tip you off if I see them.”

“Yeah, well if you see anyone wearing Legion crimson or a lot of sports equipment, you just let me know,” he half growled. From the tone of his voice, this man clearly had a beef with the Legion.

Tesla snorted. “If I don’t paint the rocks with their inner crimson first, I’ll be sure to point you their way,” she replied intensely. Ever since she’d woken up she’d felt like she had some issue with the Legion, though didn’t know what. Then again, what she saw in Nipton had given her plenty of reason to shoot on sight. She didn’t care how muddied in debauchery a city was, no one deserved what Nipton had received. Not even the Legion.

“You still haven’t answered my question,” he said.

“If you must know, I’m meeting new people. And since I’ve met everyone in Novac save for you, you’re the only new people left. Plus, the view from inside the dinosaur’s mouth is much nicer than seeing the stupid thing from the outside.”

His raised his head a bit, as though looking at her down his nose. “I think you’d better leave,” he said, his tone a clear warning.

“Calm down, Hostile Magoo,” she said, her hands raised in front of her. “Just making friendly conversation.”

“I don’t have friends here,” he said, a hint of sad resignation in his voice.

“Well, technically, I’m not from here,” Tesla replied with a wry smile, shrugging her shoulders.

“No. No you’re not, are you?” He paused for a moment, clearly contemplative as he stared at her through his tinted glasses. The tilted his head the slightest bit to the side. “Maybe you shouldn’t go. Not just yet.”

Her eyes drifted to the rifle in his hands. “Gonna try and kill me now, big guy?” she asked, though she smiled when she did so.

“Not unless you give me a reason,” he replied back.

“Ah. Good. Because I’d advise against it. Someone already tried that a couple weeks back. Didn’t work well. And he had the advantage of having me tied up in an open space. That rifle you have there would be pretty cumbersome in a small space like this unless you have a pistol hidden in your pants.”

He scowled anew at her mocking tone.

“Well if you don’t want to shoot me and throw me out of Dinky like a regurgitated meat chunk, then I assume you need something. Seems like most people in this town do, and I’ve helped them all so far. Wouldn’t mind helping someone with such impeccable taste in berets as you.” She crossed her arms across her chest, crossed one leg over the other and leaned her shoulder back against the wall. “So what d’you need?”

Boone paused and stared at this strange woman. She seemed so easygoing. And he knew that she had been helping the people of Novac. He’d heard of her arrival a week or so ago, and ever since she’d been helping. She killed a nightkin master that’d been killing the McBride’s Brahmin, checked on Ranger Station Charlie for Ranger Andy, and even cleared out the REPCON building of ghouls and nightkin, all without being killed in the process. She’d also rented a room and had been trading with Cliff and the merchants that came through. Even drumming up business for the local doctor.

This woman had breezed in out of who-knows-where and seemed to fix every problem she had found in her short stay here.

Maybe, just maybe… he could trust her with his problem….

“I need someone I can trust,” Boone finally said, making up his mind. Though he remained tense, he eased a little bit. “You’re a stranger. That’s a start.”

“Ok. So solitary night-time sniper man who shoots unsavories on sight only trusts strangers, then?” she asked, amusement in her tone.

“I said it was a start,” he replied in that short tone of his. “This town… nobody looks me straight in the eye anymore.”

“Well judging by your demeanor they probably think even a sideways glance will land a bullet in their cranium,” Tesla replied. “Still, I think someone once said familiarity breeds contempt. So what do you want me to do?”

“I want you to find something out for me,” Boone replied, fire entering his voice. “I don’t know if there’s anything to find, but I need someone to try.”

Tesla’s smile faded. His tone was… dark. Vengeful. Angry. “What needs to be found?” she asked.

“My wife was taken from our home by Legion slavers one night while I was on watch. They knew when to come, and what route to take, and they only took Carla. Someone set it up. I don’t know who.”

Tesla started to gnaw unconsciously on the inside of her cheek when she heard that. No wonder the guy was so hostile. If he didn’t have a good reason to be, then nobody did.

To have his wife taken from him while he stood watch over the city, trying to keep those very people out. And suspecting that someone in the very place he protected had set her up….

If it were her in his shoes, she’d want blood. Rivers of it.

“Are you trying to track her down?” Tesla asked. “Any excuse to hunt down and kill some of those cactus humping ba….”

“My wife is dead,” he said curtly. “I want the son of a bitch who sold her.”

She stopped short. There was no sadness in his voice. Just the quick reply of someone who wanted to drop the subject immediately. She opened her mouth to say something, then closed it again. For a moment she thought better of asking, but she had to. “How do you know your wife is dead?”

Boone let out a slight sigh, his grip on the hunting rifle in his hands tightening. “I know, alright? That’s all you need to know.”

Ok. Consider the subject dropped. “Alright. Say I find the person responsible for her sale. What do you want me to do to them? Or, rather, what do want me to do? I assume you’re the one that wants to ‘send them along their merry way’,” she replied, malice in her voice.

“Bring him out in front of the nest here while I’m on duty. I work nights.”

Him? Tesla thought to herself.

He shifted his rifle into one hand and took the beret off his cleanly shaven head. “Here’s my NCR beret. It’ll be our signal, so I know you’re standing with him.” His tone dropped to a seething note. “And I’ll take care of the rest. I need to do this myself.”

Again, ‘him’. Sounds like Boone has his suspicions on who done it. Tesla took the beret from his outstretched hand and looked down at it, running her thumb contemplatively over the fabric. “Alright, Boone. I’ll see what I can do to help.”

“Good. I’ll make it worth your while,” he said, his tone picking up.

“No. Gratis. This one’s on me,” Tesla replied, holding a finger up at him.

More than he was surprised with her reply, Boone was surprised with the look in her eyes. Her blue eyes burned with fire, as though she herself had been the one who had been wronged. She looked like she wanted the blood he had craved since the disappearance of his wife.

“Then there’s one more thing,” he added, watching as she tucked the beret into the chest of her armor to keep it concealed from view. “We shouldn’t speak again. Not until this is over. No one in town knows that I know what happened to my wife. Best they never know. Or the Legion will be after me next.”

“Not a problem,” Tesla replied once she finished stuffing the beret into her armor. She looked down at her Pip-Boy. The two of them had been talking for a bit. It was now around 10:30. “Most people will be asleep right now and I think barging into their homes and hotel rooms in the ass crack of night to ask them about your wife might seem… oh, what’s the word I’m looking for… pretty damn suspicious.”

“That’s three words.”

“He can count. Lovely. At any rate, I’ll start first thing in the morning. Besides, I still have to go scope out HELIOS One. Word is NCR is having some issues with the plant and I’m putting it upon myself to see if they need a hand.”

Boone furrowed his brow at that. “You’re helping NCR?”

“Been helping NCR,” Tesla corrected. “Stopped at Mojave Outpost a bit before I got here and helped out there too, but that’s a story for another day.” She turned to leave, but stopped with her hand on the door handle. She looked back at him. “By the way, you sound like you have a sneaking suspicion on who’s behind what happened to your wife.”

Even through the tinted lenses of his glasses she could see the fire that flared in his eyes. “Yeah, but it’s not important. Not unless you find out it’s who I think it is.”

I think you think Manny did it, Tesla thought, this time managing to hold her tongue. She inclined her head to Boone. “’Til next we meet,” she said.

“Yeah,” he replied.

This time, his tone had taken a noticeable drop into the depressed, and he turned his back on her to look out through the mouth of Dinky before she even left. Tesla hesitated for just a moment. Something about this man made her want to gently rub his back and tell him things would be fine. But she resisted the urge. He didn’t seem like the type for physical contact. From anyone.

Tesla opened the door to leave, but paused. She turned back to him.

“One more thing,” she said.

Boone half turned to look at her.

“Do you… recognize me at all?” Tesla asked uncertainly, her brow furrowed. “Not from around Novac, but from somewhere else.”

Boone tilted his head a bit at the odd question. Usually people said, “Do I know you from somewhere’, not ‘do you know me from somewhere’. And she had this strange tone in her voice that he couldn’t place. “No,” he replied curtly. “Should I?”

He watched her turn her eyes down at his reply, as if disappointed by it. “’Suppose not. See you later,” she said.

Boone turned back around and waited until he heard the door close behind him before he let out a long sigh. He’d never told his suspicious about his wife being set up to anybody. He’d kept them bottled up inside, not knowing who to trust with the information. If he told someone, and that someone happened to be linked to his wife’s abduction, chances were good he’d never get his revenge.

It was only after she was gone that he realized he hadn’t even asked the woman’s name.

Could super use some positive vibes right now. Reblogs with stuff written either in the reblog or in the tags about what you thought about this would be great. Send asks if you want. All reblogs appreciated. Lemme know if you like it. I have like 100 unpolished pages written for this fic so I could post more.

what is this feeling → the la bouffs

WHO: Tia & Charlie La Bouff ( @tiaisms )

WHEN: Sunday, December 24th

WHERE: New Orleans, LA

WHAT: Christmas with a new family member isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Charlie had quickly realized just how not awful Ken was. He was a nice guy, a good guy. Better than some of the other men that their mother had been with. And she had to admit, it was nice being able to talk more about her interests and actually have someone understand when she talked about sports. Not that her mother and sister didn’t try – she just hadn’t realized how much fun it was talking to someone who actually kinda knew what they were talking about. She’d honestly been surprised with how well they got along – and how well Ken knew them, because his gifts were pretty spot on. She figured her mother had talked to him a bunch about them, but it was pretty cool. Seeing her mom happy was really cool. Christmas hadn’t turned into what she’d expected it to turn into. The blonde had to cups of cocoa in her hand as she made her way toward her sisters room, knocking on the door before carefully pushing it open with her hip. Tia had seemed abnormally quiet for most of the day, and if she hadn’t already felt stuffed from dinner – she probably would’ve ordered a pizza or something. She smiled, moving toward the other blonde before offering the bright pink mug to her. “Merry Christmas.”

Tia was not having a fun christmas. Not because anything bad had happened or because she hadn’t gotten everything she’d wanted. Quite the opposite really, under ordinary circumstances Tia probably would’ve been nothing but smiles. But since this year’s Christmas celebrations included Ken as well, who Tia simply had not forgiven for the whole “surprise wedding upstaging Kai meeting the family” thing, she was absolutely refusing to enjoy herself and instead spent a majority of her time sulking about how much fun everyone else was having. After dinner Tia went straight to her room to avoid any more time than necessary with stupid Ken Kennedy and had begun to start doing her hair for the night way ahead of schedule when Charlie walked in with the cocoa. Simply looking at her sister through the mirror’s reflection as she continued to brush through her hair, Tia greeted Charlie coolly. “Merry Christmas to you too, Charlotte. Did you have a nice chat with your new daddy?”

Charlie’s smile faltered when her sister wouldn’t even look at her. Not really. Through the mirror didn’t count. Her smile then turned into a full frown when she called her Charlotte. Normally that meant she was upset with her. A sigh fell past her lips and she moved toward her. She set the mug down on the blonde’s vanity next to her, leaning against it with her back facing the mirror. “My new — he’s not my dad, Tia. He’s not our dad.” She sighed softly, pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose. “You still gonna help me with my make up, right? For later?”

Tia barely spared her mug a glance as she continued to brush her hair. “I’m aware. I was just wondering if you knew that. After all, weren’t you the one ready to murder over your jersey name being switched out?” She asked, rolling her eyes pointedly to show how little she cared about the whole jersey fiasco. “Of course I’ll help you. Unlike present company, I’m loyal to my sister.“

Charlie tipped her head to the side, raising her eyebrow and turning her head to look over at her. “Yeah, because my last name isn’t Kennedy, and it won’t ever be Kennedy. You’d be pissed too if someone did something – similar to you.” Though, she wasn’t sure what the Tia equivalent of changing a last name on a jersey was. And she couldn’t help but feel a slight pain in her stomach as her sister rolled her eyes at something that was a big deal to her. She swallowed, raising her eyebrows before she turned to look at the blonde – leaning against her vanity with an arched brow. “And – what exactly have I done to warrant the ‘not-loyal sister’ title? Because I don’t think I’ve done anything to piss you off.” This was starting to sound how she thought the holidays would go, and she knew whatever she did to upset her she was gonna have to make up for it big time.

Tia put down her brush and began to style her hair as she continued to not look at her sister. “Well firstable, something similar would never happen to me because I don’t wear a jersey, and even if I did I’d never even pick up one that didn’t have ny last name on it.” Tia felt a little bad about downplaying something that had clearly upset her sister but she managed pretty easily to hide it by focusing intently on her hair. “See, Charlotte. If you were really a loyal sister, I wouldn’t even have to tell you what’s wrong. Loyal sisters pay attention, you’d know that if you hadn’t spent the whole time being besties with Mr Magoo downstairs.”

Charlie sighed and she rolled her eyes as Tia continued to refuse to look at her, turning to look at her through the mirror and leaning forward on her hands that were rested on the top of the table. “There’s gotta be some kind of equivalent.” She raised her eyebrows as she listened to her, tipping her head to the side and letting her eyes fick over her sister’s face in the mirror, desperately trying to figure out what exactly she’d done wrong. Sudden realization appeared on her face when she mentioned Ken down stairs – or that was who she assumed when she said Mr. Magoo. “You’re upset because I was talking to Ken,” she meant it more as a question than a statement, but that was definitely not how it came out. She let out a laugh, reaching behind her and she tightened up her pony tail. “He’s not that bad, Tia. You should just give him a chance. Mom really likes him,” she grabbed the cup of cocoa and she held it out to her once more, almost like a piece offering, “He’s actually kinda cool, and he’s trying. He’s a good guy.”

Tia continued to work on her hair intensely as Charlie spoke to her, tryhing her best to make Charlie really feel how ticked off she was via the lack of actual eye contact. “Not really. Unless we’re counting the anklet I gave Kai for his birthday, but my first name isn’t really something anyone could swap out.” Tia’s eyes narrowed menacingly when Charlie’s reaction to her anger was to just laugh. Finally looking up at Charlie as she tightened her ponytail, Tia stood up from her seat and ignoring the offered cup of cocoa looked down at Charlie, even shorter than the inch that actually seperated them now that Tia could wear her heels constantly again. “You’ll go bald if you keep pulling on your hair like that.” Tia snarked simply, before flouncing away dramatically towards her closet. “Mommy doesn’t make the best decisions and you know this, Charlotte. Heck, we’re both proof of that. Men who get married out of nowhere without meeting their new bride’s children totally weirdos. Especially ones that look like him, where did mommy even find him anyway? Goodwill?”

Charlie rolled her eyes and she shrugged. “I’ll figure out some kind of equivalent eventually.” She puffed out her cheeks, raising her eyebrows when she saw Tia’s eyes narrow at her and she took a step. That was a look that she hadn’t gotten from her before. She swallowed thickly, shrugging before she looked up at her sister, clearing her throat. “I always wear my hair in a pony tail, and I haven’t gone bald yet. Or are you gonna shave my head because I’ve made you mad?” she asked, raising a challenging eyebrow at her. Though, she probably shouldn’t have even tried to challenge her. She shifted away from the cocoa as a little spilled out from the cup, sighing once more before she set the cup down and she shrugged. “Mom’s done good with us, and sure she should’ve been a little smarter when it came to using protection, but we’re still good.” She licked her lips and her eyebrows shot up at her words, her arms folding under her chest and she tipped her head to the side. “Wow, that’s really fucking shallow of you, Tia.” IT wasn’t something she’d meant to say out loud. A lot of the times when she had something to say about Tia’s – reactions to things she managed to keep to herself. She licked her lips, pushing her glasses up her nose once more. “Maybe if you’d stop acting like such a god-damned brat you’d see that he’s not as bad as you think.”

Tia rolled her eyes right back at Charlie’s plan to find an equivalent and let it drop at that. Arguing over something as stupid as that didn’t feel worth it in comparison to their real disagreement. “I know, but it’s going to happen eventually. Besides, even if I wanted to shave your head, I wouldn’t. Letting you keep your hair like that is punishment enough.” Tia momentarily quit sniping at Charlie and flitting through her closet to flinch at the hot cocoa Charlie was spilling in her room and then putting down all willy nilly, like it wouldn’t leave a gruesome little chocolate ring on her pristine furniture. “Pick that up right now. And I didn’t mean bad choices with us…well me anyway, I mean MEN.” Tia pointed out, turning away quickly when Charlie pointed out how shallow her comment was about Ken. Tia knew it wasn’t Ken’s fault that he looked like something that escaped from one of those little hobbit thing movies, but because she disliked him for ruining Thanksgiving not because of his looks, she figured it was fine up until Charlie called her out on it. “Watch your language, or get out, Charlotte. I’m not being a brat for not liking some rando with the commen sense to pretend to care about your stupid sports.”

Charlie eyebrows pressed together at her words, her arms folding under her chest and beginning to collapse in on herself like she normally did when she was starting to feel defeated. She’d seen Tia like this only a few times, but it was never with her. She set her jaw as her eyes began to fill with tears, her eyes flicking down to the ground as she pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose. Her eyebrows rose, her eyes snapping back up at her and she swallowed. “You think Mom keeping me was a mistake?” she asked softly, her voice breaking as her eyes searched her sisters face. If Tia thought it, then maybe her mom did, too. But her mom wouldn’t have kept her if she didn’t want her. Even though they were different. She set her jaw, her eyes focusing on her sister in an attempt to look fierce — but not being able to look nearly as scary as Tia did. “You’re being a selfish, shallow brat, Tiana. You’re just upset because for once you’re not the center of attention around here and I finally have someone to talk to about the stuff that I like. God forbid you ever let me be in the spotlight for once. Or Mom. Or anyone else. It’s always gotta be about you,” she spat, reaching up to wipe at the tears that had began to freely roll down her cheeks, “Fuck you, Tia. I’m done.”

Tia knew full well that she’d gone too far, especially once Charlie had clearly started to cry, but in her mind it was way too late to backtrack. “I didnt mean it like that, but whatever floats your bat, Charlotte.” She replied, crossing her arms against her chest and regretting every word that fell out of her mouth even as she said it. But her regret couldn’t even last that long before it was replaced with nothing but rage. “I am not!” She yelled back, slamming her hand down on the closest item in her closet, ironically enough, a photo of herself in one of her numerous pageant crowns, and tightened her grip on it. “I tell you all the time to go for the spotlight, Charlotte. You know I do! After all,I’m the one who got everyone to notice that you’re actually pretty under all that jock dirt. It’s not my fault that it never sticks and it sure as hell isn’t my fault that the only person here that seems to care about the lame crap you like, aside from me, mommy and Wes, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO, Is some random guy mommy married so she wouldn’t have to die alone.” Tia screamed, not even meaning a single word outside of their intention to make Charlie’s feelings hurt as much as hers did. “Get out Charlotte. I was done first.”

Charlie honestly didn’t understand why Tia was acting the way she was. Why she was mad at her for making the holiday into something she wanted. It was supposed to be fun. It was supposed to be happy, but somehow in the process she’d done something to hurt her sister. “Of course you didn’t, that’s why you specifically said ‘well, me’ toward the end of your statement.” And the fact that Tia seemed to think that she was a mistake, that her mom keeping her was a mistake, absolutely broke her heart. She gripped onto her arms even more, watching as he sister screamed and slammed her hand down on something in her closet. “Yeah! You are! You don’t like how things are going for you so you’re in here throwing a stupid temper tantrum because — what? You weren’t getting enough attention? You’re mad at me for trying to get along with the guy who’s living with us and that’s not something youwant? Maybe you should look at yourself in a goddamned mirror and realize how stupid you’re acting.” Dumb and stupid weren’t words that she liked to describe her sister as. But she was hurt. And angry. She swallowed and she shook her head. “Since when? Since when have you ever let me take it from you? Every time anything remotely good happens to me, you always step up and something better has to happen to you or this happens,” she gestured between the two of them before she folded her arms under her chest once more. She gripped even more onto her arms at her words, shaking her head and squeezing her eyes shut, refusing to believe that — at least Wes didn’t have to pretend that he was interested in what she was interested in, that the friends that she had cared and liked the same things she did. She inhaled sharply, shaking her head. “Fine, but if everything ever goes to shit, don’t call me. I won’t answer.” She grabbed the mug from her vanity before she moved out of the room, moving down stairs to drop the mug into the sink before climbing back up them so she could go to her room — hopefully without notice from either of the adults in their home. She closed her door as quietly as she could before letting out a soft sob, her hand moving to cover her lips to muffle the sound.

Tia quit responding to Charlie entirely just stood there trying her best to remain as cold as ice for as long as Charlie remained in her room. Once she left, all bets were off as Tia flung the picture frame at the door Charlie had just vacated and let out a loud scream, not caring in the slightest if anyone heard it. There wasn't anyone there she wasn't mad at anyway. Forgetting what she was even doing in her closet anyway, Tia just crawled into her bed and grabbed as many stuffed animals to cuddle as possible while she cried herself to sleep with her hair only half finished.

20 THOUGHTS: Greene, Eye-Gouge Monster

AND then there were four.

Two redemption stories, a minor premier seeking validation and an underdog looking for quality over quantity

Richmond were fantastic in 2017 and arguably looked better the following year. A grand an opportunity to go back to back you’d never see yet in the penultimate weekend they stuffed it. Tipping they’re still dirty.

Collingwood, the winners that night a year ago, came from nowhere to lose agonisingly a week later. Tipping they’re dirty on that still too.

Geelong has a monkey on its back the size of Naomi Watts’ co-star in that 2005 film set in Skull Island. The minor premier yet not rated a legitimate flag chance. They’d be dirty on that.

And lastly the Giants. Third prelim in four seasons, no-one has put together a more consistent body of finals work without tasting ultimate success. They’d be dirty they haven’t converted a golden opportunity yet.

Lot of get-even stories going on, three will go unsatisfied, yet one will succeed and nothing will taste sweeter.

1. Start with Toby Greene – still don’t get it. Last week, Bont, that was either a free-kick at most or a couple weeks for doing something properly grubby and in need of a spell. A contrived outcome later and he plays last week, instrumental in their win. Given the margin you could say he misses through suspension it’s a Brisbane win. Now, he gets a week and its upheld, but on the vision available the Bont incident looks worse. Don’t get it.

2. Theory – Michael Christian wanted to see Greene go to the Tribunal last week on a serious charge where the Tribunal could come to its own conclusion, away from the constraints of the matrix Christian uses, and the Giant gets a suspension through that channel. It didn’t work, an agreed guilty-verdict into fine-only eventuated and the Christian plan failed. So this week, to avoid that happening again, he gave the suspension up front so Greene would have to work down from a week instead of the Tribunal working it out from scratch.

3. As of writing this his suspension has been upheld but surely the Giants appeal on Thursday. Costs them $5,000, it’s a free hit, and given the size of the task Saturday afternoon and how important he is to them, they’d be mad not too. I expect them too, and in reality, it’s a 50-50 to be a success such is the crazy case it is.

4. It’s an impressive four-year block for the Giants after that win last Saturday. Lost that epic prelim by a kick to the Dogs three years ago, were really in that prelim against the Tigers the year after a long way in, remembering they didn’t have Dylan Shiel for three quarters, and once again into a prelim this year. Leon Cameron has his detractors but they say winning a flag doesn’t just take planning and talent but a little luck as well. Given he continually gets this far, maybe that last ingredient is all they’re missing?

5. Last one on GWS, from a league perspective it was actually encouraging to see that the left of screen displayed decent Giants coverage in the crowd in Brisbane Saturday night. Not a massive contingent but hardly the token couple-dozen of the early years, there was something half-decent for what is still a club shy of ten years old representing what is otherwise rugby and soccer heartland. Encouraging.

6. Right, Brisbane. Told you so. This is a team who had zero injuries until Mitch Robinson and a draw softer than the Russians paid for at least year’s World Cup, so straight sets doesn’t surprise one bit. This is not a top four team, it’s probably a sixth to eighth team at best. Straight sets dot com, doesn’t surprise this column one iota.

7. Luke Hodge though, what a jet, enormous career, huge for the Lions the last two years too, and we just love the look of Jarryd Lyons motioning to the two-time Normie winner for a chair off and the Colac product in body language alone gave it the “nah mate, cheers”. Love that. Well done Hodgey, certainty for a Hall of Fame Legend status at some point you’d think, with that resume.

8. How was the Sam Reid ‘George Gregan’ impersonation on the game-winning-goal? Three or so posessions before the jockey Brent Daniels cheeky checkside, pretty sure it was Reid who dished the ball out like he was given a freshly-baked jacket potato unawares, very quick hands but by the letter of the law incredibly illegal. Umpy was never going to see it but gee, if only he could, would have paid a forward pass for sure.

9. Speaking of umpiring, that spirit of the game free kick nonsense with Adam Kennedy and Charlie Cameron. My Lord. I hope the umpire mistakenly meant the stuff about constant niggle where a free is awarded if its just too much. But otherwise, under the letter of the law, Cameron coming back on was not injured. Play on. Ridiculous.

10. So umpiring, was a shocker this weekend. Match Review and Tribunal not good either. Who is responsible for that? Old Steve “having a shocker” Hocking. My mate is just enduring the nightmare to end all nightmares. Rules, done nothing, scoring, down, I can’t see any portfolio he looks after better than this time last year. Lift Steve.

11. Oh, and whilst we need to whack some folks – how about all that fuss about Mark Blicavs out of defence against the Pies and it cost them the game. They brought Rhys Stanley back in and where did the Blitz play most of his footy in the first half, a first half where the Cats played well? On the wing! David King was the main culprit. So we know not to ask him about the Geelong backline like we don’t ask him to be designated driver. Low blow, but he doesn’t read this, too busy with the behind the goals vision looking for Blicavs on Kennedy or Darling. He’ll be a while.

12. So this week, what we got. Richmond playing a better Geelong but without Hawkins. Anyone see that going any other way than a Tigs win? Didn’t think so. Surely last year’s cock up doesn’t repeat. So one inner-suburban army of hundreds of thousands will bombard all of us in Grand Final week.

13. Then, the day after, weather-pending the greatest collection of Collingwood supporters in one place ever since Pentridge hit capacity once back in the late 80s, hosting a GWS who have been tough for two good weeks but can they go again? The Pies might like the wetter conditions, the mosquito fleet up forward and a classy onball brigade. So we might end up with another huge inner-suburban army up and about in Grand Final week. Giants are in decent nick but, very decent nick.

14. Good to see the Gulls make the VFL Grandma this weekend. Not just coz we like Willy almost as much as Liz Taylor, but because if it had been Richmond reserves versus Essendon reserves it would have been mega scratchy. Let’s just call the VFL for what it is, what used to be the well-respected VFA is now just the AFL Reserves comp with appearances by Port Melbourne and Williamstown. It’s a magoos competition and this Sunday one club will be caring more about the GF the Saturday after, the other will be hellbent on winning so they can secure a local real estate agent as a sponsor the year after to pay for the club jumpers.

15. Jordan De Goey, oh, not worth the risk, he has only played ten seconds of footy in seemingly eight months and is made of tissue paper and is missing a limb and has Rickett’s. One thing though, aside from the German witchcraft and the fact he will have 22 days between the first final and a potential Granny – he hurt his hammy against Geelong in the opening two minutes but ran out, to little impact granted, most of the first half before heading for the tracksuit. No gratuitous stride out where the back door comes off the hinge and there’s the full dramatic hobble off the ground like you’ve got a bad case of pins and needles. Sure, he has a bad history, but this was not your typical tear. If the Pies win, I think he is a certainty to play Grand Final day.

16. Ashes, all done. But please, Timothy. If I’ve told you once I’ve told you a million times: if you win the toss, nine times out of ten you bat first. On the tenth time you think about bowling, but you bat first. We lost the fifth test at the toss.

17. Davey Warner. Couldn’t middle shit. You know you’re going busted when Stuart Broad gets you LB and doesn’t even bother turning around to appeal, he goes immediately from delivery stride into celebrating to gully. Was his brand new baby daughter on the eve of the Ashes a distraction enough? Perhaps. Was it just one bowler having him by the pills and otherwise, if Broad wasn’t playing he could have averaged say, 40? Possibly. Or, he averages 59 in Australia but averages less than 34 overseas. That’s telling. Remember, Steve Waugh and Allan Border, proper batsmen who don’t mind if your TV is an OLED TV or something from ALDI, they actually averaged higher overseas than at home. Proper batsmen.

18. We need to find a new opening pair asap. Not bothered by playing Warner again, because if we do he’ll score a mount of runs against Pakistan and New Zealand on home conditions, but all it does is delay finding his successor for when we need to win tours, I dunno, in India, or England, or anywhere not at the SCG basically.

19. Cam Bancroft, only averaged 11 from his two tests, sure, but gee, they swiftly moved him on because he was so bad, he was bringing such bad cricket juju to the place they brought in Marcus Harris who went on to average 60. No. That’s not right. Harris averaged 9 from his three tests. Brilliant. Harris is now averaging 24 from 9 tests. Bancroft has 10 tests @ 26. Semantics perhaps but I’d be picking the sander before the Victorian first come the summer. But we have four Shield matches before the Gabba, I want to see Matty Renshaw ton up, get into the test team again and stick.

20. And I love this, Steve Smith, missed a test and an innings but still amassed 333 runs more than the next best for most runs in the series. That man is a freak.

[HR] The Best Part of You

“You can kick and scream all you want baby, but this ship is going dooown!” The demon howled joyfully as old-man-Ed scrambled on the floor of the empty McDonalds kitchen, like a fat rat having a stroke. By now, all his employees have escaped onto the streets. Not one wasting a second to help their obese abusive manager, who has been trapped in the inside of his fast food restaurant - at a very inconvenient time.

“What the fuck is happening!?�� Ed belched out between his fat lips. His round cheeks shined red below his forehead, dripping profusely of sweat. The panic and confusion towards the chaos erupting around him made him break out in pools of secretion. That, and the gigantic crack in the kitchen floor that seemed to have split open the earth beneath the shopping mall, omitting waves of heat that licked the surface.

“My sweet baby Ed, it’s the final day - yeaaah! End of timesss, tribulation period over. D-Day is finally happening. Rapture ya- know?” The demon danced around the man and hopped onto the yellow counter to make himself comfortable with a fat cigarette and a pink milkshake. “Apocalypse now and all that fun stuff, you know?”

Ed’s striped beige shirt was ripped open on the top, exposing a gold chain wrapped in curly chest hair. Some casualty buttons laid scattered across the dirty white tiles, while he fanatically clutched at his torso, breathing fast and heavy.

“Who the fuck are you!?” he spat out, frightened at the site of this unnatural looking human creature, who had the face of an angel but topped with two small horns protruding from his soft locks of brown hair. His athletic body was dressed in the snazziest midnight blue suede suit. He also flaunted a pair of golden boots with black tips to finish off his ‘end-of-the-world-outfit’.

“Moi?” The demon whirled his wrist in the air with a big smile. “I’m no one you should be concerned with right now. But, by the looks of it sweet-cheeks, we’ll be spending a lot of time with each other very sssoon. For all the getting-to-know-you-you-getting-to-know-me chitchats in the world” He happily replied. “Rather, you should be focused on more important things like the choices you’ve made throughout your life.” He blew a puff of smoke into the air.

“What the fuck are you talking about!” Ed shouted in pain, “why is my leg disappearing?”

“It’s not.”

“Yes. Yes, it is I can feel it!” Ed tried to reach for the bottom of his left pant to lift up to see what’s going on, but his big belly pushed him back down on his back while the demon just slurped his shake and smiled.

“And my eye! It’s. It’s going grey! I can’t see through it” he clasped his hand tightly over his left eye, hoping the pressure would stop the feeling that it was slowly being pulled out.

The demon gave a satisfying burb and mumbled about how he missed the sweet taste of strawberries.

“You see babes, today is all about the sssoul.” The demon dragged his long finger down his chest in a sensational manner while he licked his lips enthusiastically. “Today we’re all about finding out where our souls belong.” He winked.

Ed let go of his eye and started to hit his head with the palm of his hand and commanded himself to wake up. “Wake up!” He yelled hysterically, “This is all a bad dream! Wake up!”

“Oh, don’t be so dramatic” The demon tipped his cigarette ash on his chest. “This is just it. It’s every bad, selfish, fuckt-up thing you’ve ever done, comes down to this day.” He slurped some more, “But what makes you so special – why I had to really fight and beg to be the one to escort you back, is that near-death experience you had 10 years ago.” Ed’s eyebrows furrowed as he gulped like a goldfish out of water.

“Don’t you remember sweet angel?” The demon’s ferret-like eyes closely observed his victim’s reaction and took another long drag. Ed remained quiet and pushed himself back up against the opposite counter, eyeing any options to escape.

“You don’t remember, do you?”

“Of course I do!” Ed snapped back, which made the demon grin.

“It was that beautiful quiet night in September 2010 when you lied to your wife about a work function in Joburg,” air quoting the work function part, “But as I recall magoshas don’t do very well in giving strategic feedback on annual reports. Ha! More like anal reports. Am I right?” He winked and laughed.

Ed snarled at him while he noticed sharp pains shooting through his back.

“Sho, tough crowd” the demon smirked. “Anywhoo. Despite your colleagues telling you over and over again to not drive home, you ssstill insisted. Heck! You could barely hold your own balls up to shit straight. But noooo, you are big man Ed.” The demon mocked in gorilla-like voice.

“And so, you got into your SUV, piss drunk, and sped down the M1 just to fall asleep at the wheel.” He licked his lips again, waiting for a reaction. “You woke up in the ICU the next day with half your body obliterated, remember?” He lingered again on the last part.

“What do you want!?” Ed screamed hysterically.

“Nothing really. I’m here for you baby.”

Ed tried to get up, but gravity pulled his bowels back down and forced him to sit where he was and listen.

“So!” The demon continued cheerfully.

“What you chose to forget about that night is that you brutally killed a whole family, right? A sweet mother and a caring father to a baby boy and a 3-year-old girl. So pure, so innocent.”

With those words he hopped off the counter and hunched down to meet Ed at eye level, his golden boots kicked open his legs to sit as close as he could – face to face. Ed could smell the sulfur breath and noticed a different gleam in the demon’s eyes as he stared into his soul.

“But did it matter?” The demon asked softly.

Ed gulped hard and tried to avoid making eye-contact.

“Yes, actually!” The demon answered himself and bounced back up on the counter as if he was performing a hilarious skit at a children’s show.

“Because ssince you were in need of a new eye socket, kidney and left bottom leg, the miracle of modern medicine and a convenient pile of dead family members - thanks to you of course - were able to transfer the parts to you. Did you know that? Ha! What a miracle that they had what you needed?” He smiled wide like a panting dog. “And you didn’t even get in trouble for that oopsie on the highway, did you? Just paid the man and made it all go away - you sssneaky snake you. I may learn a thing or two.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Ed replied.

“Oh. Well focus now honey, because this is important. You’re quite special since this was not the only transplant you’ve had, is it?”

Ed grappled at his chest again.

“Noo, you also have a new heart in you?” He giggled, “Because Mr.Tubby-wubby couldn’t control his brandy and coke intake, could he?”

Ed moaned when he tried to move again but the tiles cracked underneath him as if an invisible force was pulling something inside him down.

“Oh wait!” The demon exclaimed with a finger in the air. “That’s right, I just remembered what you told your brother the other day.” He cleared his throat and started to speak. But the voice that came out sounded exactly like Ed’s.

“The only time a kaffer was useful is when this one died and gave me a new heart.” He even tapped his chest the same way Ed did when he joked about his new transplant from the African donor. The fat man screamed for help, but the demon just smiled and waited.

In the demon’s own calm voice, he continued: “Fun fact, that donor was a doctor. Did you know that? One of those Doctors-Across-Borders type of guys, who sacrificed their lives for the sake of others. . . No matter what race or gender. I know, too fancy for my taste as well.” He smirked.

“Oh, go fuck yourself!” Ed exclaimed.

“Sweet baby, that’s the spirit!” The demon whooped like a drunk girl in a limousine.

“It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there like you always say!”

Ed finally slumped down completely on the floor, and felt his body being ripped apart in the different places where he had surgeries. Even though he couldn’t see anything happening he could feel the pain shredding through him as the invisible force tore into his insides.

“Oh snap! Sorry sugar-tits! I forgot to tell you, silly me.” The demon got up onto the counter and paced it proudly like an actor in the spotlight.

“I’m here is to tell you that our souls are sowed into every fiber of our bodies. Neat hey? So, it’s the rapture as you should have figured out by now, and that means it’s time for souls to travel to their final destination. Choo-choo!”

The demon laughed hard. “You being you, of course - the oh so important Ed-magoo - means parts of you obviously don’t belong to you or here. And definitely don’t belong where you’re going. These parts, these foreign pieces of other people’s sweet souls, are returning to their rightful and righteous owners. While the rest of you my dear…” his eyes shined brightly, “well you have a date with me baby cakes, whooo!”

Alphakronik Genes, a leader in the field of medical cannabis, is always keen to listen to any suggestion enthusiasts might have. Among the most successful creations the breeder created is Gobbilygoo, which was developed based on the requests of its best test growers.

Creating Gobbilygoo was not a difficult task. The breeders only took the two strains its test growers recommended – Blue Mango and Gobbstoper. The first has a delicious fruit-flavored terpene profile comprised of berries, mangoes, and grapes. Meanwhile, the second is a part of Alphakronik Genes’ Wonka Series that passes down its quick-flowering genes and impressive trichome production to its offspring.

Its marriage resulted in the Indica-led genetics of Gobbilygoo which features THC levels of 26%. Apart from its potency, among its best traits is its therapeutically valuable tranquilizing high and its ease of growth.

Effects

Indica leaning strains are not the type of plants that overwhelms with an intense head high right at the first puff. Instead, it coaxes the mind with a slow rush of euphoria that ultimately leaves one feel happier from within after at least 30 minutes have past. However, users should remember to pace the bud due to its creeping body high.

It is usually best to prepare some snacks before using Gobbilygoo. The mental stimulation is, after all, quite hunger inducing. And, once the body high begins, users may find it difficult to get to the kitchen without bumping into some items in the room.

After about an hour or two, a feeling of supreme relaxation envelops users. It starts from the temples as a light pressure that, as it ebbs down, turns into a soothing sensation that releases tension from each muscle. In all likelihood, those who overconsume the bud will feel completely immobile due to a couchlock.

Deeply relaxed, it is not uncommon for users to feel sleepy during the comedown. This makes it a wonderful bedtime companion but not a strain to be used during the day. Otherwise, it can hamper one’s productivity.

Fragrance

Gobbilygoo has a sweet fragrance similar to that of fresh, crushed blueberries with undertones of grape. Enhancing it are floral notes of lavender which intensify after the buds are crushed or combusted.

Flavors

Drawn in, Gobbilygoo bursts in the palate with a fruity mix of berries and grapes. Complementing it are herbal hints of lavender. On the exhale, it leaves a floral and earthy aftertaste.

Adverse Reaction

Like other strains, Gobbilygoo has moisture-inhibiting cannabinoids that interfere with the production of saliva. As such, it is not uncommon for users to experience a cottonmouth while using the bud. It may also be accompanied by dryness in the eyes. However, both are mild and easily mitigated by hydrating oneself with a few glasses of water.

Apart from the unavoidable dehydration, Gobbilygoo also disorients users with a temporary dizziness. It is usually the result of using beyond individual tolerance. However, one can easily steer clear of the side effects through pacing and moderation.

Medical

As a leader in the field of medical cannabis, Alphakronik Genes produces among the top strains provide a reprieve against various afflictions. Gobbilygoo’s happy high, for example, relieves high levels of stress which can lead to the early onset of depression and other mental health issues if left unattended.

However, as a predominantly Indica herb, Gobbilygoo’s best asset is its soothing high. It relaxes the muscles beginning from the temples and various types of aches and pains all over the body. As the same effect reaches the gastrointestinal tract, it encourages a hearty appetite. For this reason, it is a great medicinal companion for patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Mentally and physically relaxing, Gobbilygoo not only enhances the quantity of sleep but also the quality of sleep. Not only that, it is an effective sleep aid for insomnia and other related sleeping disorders.

Growing

Gobbilygoo is not a tall plant. It is short like many other Indica dominant buds and absolutely sturdy. Not only that, it has high resistance against moisture-related problems like mold and mildew. And, though it may prefer a warm climate, it thrives in cold temperatures or damp environment regardless.

Among Gobbilygoo’s features is its heavy trichome production and large yields. Its potency is evident in its buds which are laden with sparkling, sugary powder that adds weight to its colas. For this reason, aspiring growers may need to stake its stalks and tie its branches especially during the flowering stage where it can possibly break off.

To bring out its full potential, its breeders advise growers to cultivate the plant in nitrogen-rich soil. However, those using a hydroponics system should test for base notes of up to 12000ppm at full tilt.

At the moment, Alphakronik Genes sells Gobbilygoo in regular form. As such, it is important for growers to utilize pre-germination techniques such as soaking to increase the likelihood of growing female plants. Applying Low-Stress Training techniques will also keep it from turning into hermaphrodites.

Flowering Time

Indoors Gobbilygoo has an indoor flowering period of 7 to 9 weeks. It yields an average of 10 to 12 ounces of buds per square meter but produces even more under the expert care of a seasoned grower. The plant also responds well to the Sea of Green method.

Outdoors Gobbilygoo is a great outdoor performer that produces at least 12 ounces of buds per plant after blossoming from the last week of September to the second or third week of October.

No Revolution Quite Yet: 10 Top Songs 50 Years Ago This Week

In our last installment of this series in August we saw a wave of innovation crashing the Billboard Top 100 chart, some landmark songs that eventually became part of the Rock canon. Well there’s plenty of innovation on the January 14, 1967 chart too, but you wouldn’t know it if you only looked at the top ten songs on the list. It includes two hopeless novelty songs, two Sinatra tracks (one Frank, one Nancy) and a lamecheese British movie theme.

In the light of the far-reaching cultural upheaval that was looming just over the hill, the Top 10 here sounded kind of like the death rattle of traditional 20th century popular culture as the world had known it. Of course in hindsight we know that the tipping point would come in late June, with Monterey and Sgt. Pepper arriving in the same week. But in January 1967 people were unwittingly watching a long fuse burn down towards that explosive week in June.

Still, there were some pretty great songs on the chart, and here are some of them, listed with their Billboard chart position for the week.

1. I’m A Believer – The Monkees

youtube

Not just riding the coattails of a smash hit television series, this is also a textbook lesson in how you write a pop song. Covering Neil Diamond lifted The Monkees a notch above their bubblegum credentials.

13. Mellow Yellow – Donovan

youtube

“Electrical Banana is bound to be the very next phase”, Donovan sang, and if I understand what he was getting at, he wasn’t wrong.

16. Nashville Cats – The Lovin’ Spoonful

youtube

Before the Byrds’ Sweethearts Of The Rodeo and before the Band’s Music From Big Pink, the Spoonful here were maybe the first to suggest that country music would eventually��become one of Rock’s flavors.

17. Devil With a Blue Dress On/Good Golly Miss Molly – Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels

youtube

This guy cranked the knobs on traditional R&B and it still crackles with energy fifty years later. One of the best screams in the history of Rock & Roll.

19. (I Know) I’m Losing You – The Temptations

youtube

Talk about a golden age of Soul, look at some of the other Soul classics on this chart: Four Tops “Standing In The Shadows Of Love”, Otis Redding “Try A Little Tenderness”, Wilson Pickett “Mustang Sally”, The Supremes “You Keep Me Hanging On”.

21. Good Vibrations – The Beach Boys

youtube

What else can anybody say about greatest pop song ever recorded?

24. (We Ain’t Got) Nothing Yet – Blues Magoos

youtube

The Blues Magoos released an album in 1966 called Psychedelic Lollipop which sounds like a Spinal Tap gag but was actually one of the first albums to ever use the P-word. One-hit innovators, I guess.

63. Gimme Some Lovin’ – Spencer Davis Group

youtube

Calling these guys the Spencer Davis Group was like calling the Stones the Brian Jones Group. Steve Winwood was 18 here and he’d already been recording for three years.

65. Pushin’ Too Hard – The Seeds

youtube

This was called psychedelia at the time, but it has more in common with a ‘70s punk sensibility than it does with what we now think of as psychedelia.

67. Mercy, Mercy, Mercy – Cannonball Adderley Quintet

youtube

There were at least five jazz numbers on this Hot 100 chart because in 1967 jazz was still a music of the people. This nugget eventually reached #11 on the pop chart, and the Buckinghams would take their version with lyrics up to #5 in August.
