A young man leaves Ireland with his landlord’s daughter after some trouble with her father, and they dream of owning land at the big giveaway in Oklahoma ca. 1893. When they get to the new land, they find jobs and begin saving money. The man becomes a local barehands boxer, and rides in glory until he is beaten, then his employers steal all the couple’s money and they must fight off starvation in the winter, and try to keep their dream of owning land alive. Meanwhile, the woman’s parents find out where she has gone and have come to America to find her and take her back. Credits: TheMovieDb.

Here’s what happened in music in the years past…BUT…this date…

October 12th

2021 - Paddy Moloney

Irish musician, composer, and record producer Paddy Moloney died suddenly at a hospital in Dublin at the age of 83. He co-founded and led the Irish musical group the Chieftains, playing on all of their 44 albums. Moloney aslo did session work for Mike Oldfield, Mick Jagger, Gary Moore, Paul McCartney, Sting, Don Henley and Stevie Wonder.

2016 - David Bowie

David Bowie and Prince were both new entries in the latest list of top-earning dead celebrities compiled by Forbes. Prince's pre-tax income from 1 October 2015 to 1 October 2016 was estimated at $25m (£20.5m) by the business magazine, putting him fifth in the list. Bowie, meanwhile, was ranked at 11th for an estimated income of $10.5m (£8.5m). Both, however, are dwarfed by Michael Jackson who topped the list once again with a record-breaking estimated income of $825m (£672.8m).

1997 - John Denver

John Denver was killed when the handmade, experimental airplane he was flying ran out of gas and crashed off the coast of Monterey Bay, California. The 53 year old star had scored 15 songs on Billboard's Top 40 Pop chart, ten of which reached number one on either Billboard's Adult Contemporary or Country chart.

1994 - Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd played the first of a 15-night run at Earls Court, London, England. Less than a minute after the band had started playing 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond', a scaffolding stand holding 1200 fans, collapsed, throwing hundreds of people 20 feet to the ground. It took over an hour to free everyone from the twisted wreckage, ninety-six people were injured, with 36 needing hospital treatment. Six were detained overnight with back, neck and rib injuries. Pink Floyd sent a free T-shirt and a note of apology to all the fans who had been seated in the stand that collapsed. The show was immediately cancelled and re-scheduled.

1971 - Gene Vincent

Gene Vincent (Vincent Eugene Craddock), died from a perforated ulcer, aged 36. Had the 1956 US No.7 & UK No.16 single 'Be Bop A Lula'. Appeared in the film, The Girl Can't Help It with Jayne Mansfield. In 1960, while on tour in the UK, Vincent and songwriter Sharon Sheeley were seriously injured the car crash that killed Eddie Cochran.

1969 - Paul McCartney

A DJ on Detroit's WKNR radio station received a phone call telling him that if you play The Beatles 'Strawberry Fields Forever' backwards, you hear John Lennon say the words "I buried Paul." This started a worldwide rumour that Paul McCartney was dead.

1968 - Janis Joplin

Big Brother And The Holding Company went to No.1 on the US album chart with 'Cheap Thrills'. The cover, drawn by underground cartoonist Robert Crumb, replaced the band's original idea, a picture of the group naked in bed together. Crumb had originally intended his art to be the LP's back cover, but Joplin demanded that Columbia Records use it for the front cover. Initially the album title was to have been Sex, Dope and Cheap Thrills, but this didn't go down too well at Columbia Records.

1966 - The Rolling Stones

28 years after its creation, The Rolling Stones' Rock & Roll Circus was finally released. The 1968 event put together by The Stones comprised two concerts on a circus stage and included performaces by The Who, Taj Mahal, Marianne Faithfull and Jethro Tull. John Lennon and Yoko Ono performed as part of a supergroup called The Dirty Mac, along with Eric Clapton, Mitch Mitchell and Keith Richards. It was originally planned to be aired on BBC TV.

1965 - The Beatles

The Beatles began recording their sixth UK album, Rubber Soul recording takes of new songs 'Run For Your Life' and 'Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)'.

1957 - Little Richard

During an Australian tour, Little Richard publicly renounced rock 'n' roll and embraced God, telling a story of dreaming of his own damnation after praying to God when one of the engines on a plane he was on caught fire. The singer threw four diamond rings, valued at $8,000, into Sydney's Hunter River and soon after launched a Gospel career. Five years later, he would switch back to Rock.

1955 - Chrysler

The Chrysler Corporation launched high fidelity record players for their 1956 line-up of cars. The unit measured about four inches high and less than a foot wide and was mounted under the instrument panel. The seven inch discs spun at 16 2/3 rpm and required almost three times the number of grooves per inch as an LP. The players were discontinued in 1961.

20 + 30 😌

20. A book that got you out of a reading slump

[rimshot]

Anyways, I have had so many reading slumps, you don't even know. I could give you a million different answers for this depending on how good my memory is and which ones I can take pictures of because I like causing problems and making things more complicated than they need to be for myself. I was GOING to use Weight by Jeanette Winterson, which is an Atlas myth retelling, but I can't find my copy and my only pictures from when I was reading it are of a knish and a turtle. So instead (and sorry about the new uglier lighting) here's my most RECENT slump-buster! I read it as a kid and I loved it and I read it as an adult and I still loved it, despite it being very much For Kids. Laurie Faria Stolarz never disappoints me.

"I lift a delicate, fork-shaped branch in front of my eyes. And that's when I see it: the construction site frok my nightmare. A shell of a house, lit up in the distance by spotlights. It reminds me suddenly of the e-mail Drea got - the one Chad sent her - 'The House that Jack Built.'

This is where I'll find Drea. I'm sure of it.

The structure of the house is just as I dreamed. Tall, creamy boards have been erected to form walls. A rectangular archway stands as the front entrance.

Walking on the ball of my foot now, I move to the front of the house, fearing and knowing exactly what I will find. And there it is. Freshly dug. Drea's name spelled out in the soil.

I want to be sick."

30. Your favorite middle grade book.

I can't find my actual favorite middle grade books right now, and it's very possible they were lost two moves back or are just hiding under my bed, and I don't want to dig under my bed, so I would absolutely cheat and pick my favorite book in the BIFN series except they're YA.

So instead, because I can't give pictures and quotes and yada yada ya extraneous requirements I made up for myself, have a bunch of middle grade books!

Iris, Messenger by Sarah Deming. A 12-year-old girl who lives with her scatterbrained marine biologist mom is given a book of myths for her birthday and discovers that it came, not from her disinterested and distant human father, but her godly parent, as other members of the Pantheon appear in Philadelphia and tell her their stories in their own ways.

The Book of Lies by James Moloney. A boy wakes up at an orphanage with no memory of how he arrived there or even his own name, and while the proprietor of the orphanage insists his name is Robert, another ward of the institution who eavesdropped on his arrival says that his true name was stolen from him by what turns out to be the titular book, and they, along with a few tentative allies, are driven towards a quest to uncover the truth about themselves and the lies they've been made to believe.

The Shakespeare Stealer (et. al.) by Gary Blackwood. A fictional little boy is taught shorthand so he can steal Shakespeare's scripts for an unscrupulous boss, only to be essentially adopted by The Lord Chaimberlain's Men, taken on as Shakespeare's scribe, and discover the joys of literacy and theatre along the way. I loved this series so much I stole it from my school library.

Montmorency: Thief, Liar, Gentleman? by Eleanor Updale. A catburglar in Victorian London is caught thanks to betrayal by his criminal partner and used for surgical experimentation that expedites his healing process and improves his recovery, despite the terrible conditions in which he is kept. Once he's out, he uses his prolonged exposure to the mannerisms his surgeon to infiltrate high society and act as his own one-man heist squad: Montmorency, the gentleman who cases the joint, and Scarper, who takes them for everything they've got.

The Princess Academy by Shannon Hale. This book is probably partially responsible for why Uptown Girl by Billy Joel makes me have the feelings it does. Miri, whose mother died in childbirth, feels isolated from her own community in a small mining town because her father won't let her work in the quarry, until an advisor to the king selects her village to be the source of the prince's new bride and training with the other girls in total isolation finally gives her the chance to explore work outside the mining she's too small to do and to be seen for who she is, as well as to look past her own assumptions about the in group she's been excluded from her whole life.

Incantation by Alice Hoffman. What's so wack is I didn't even know this was the Alice Hoffman who also wrote Practical Magic until I read another one of her books. This novel made me CRAZY as a kid. It's about the Spanish Inquisition from the point of view of a girl who has been raised practicing in secret but totally divorced from perceiving herself as Jewish until her best friend, once so close they called themselves sisters, gets jealous that a boy likes her more and reports her whole family. Sorry for the massive spoiler but you should read it anyway because it's Alice Hoffman and it's so good.

Honorable Mentions: the Vampire Plague series but only the first three, the Vampirates series, this book I read but can't remember the name of where there was this goofy little family of vampires living in New York and the son stored finished puzzles in the freezer and the daughter collected song lyrics and lines of poetry in a little notebook, Ghostgirl et al by Tonya Hurley (music journalist turned novelist says "where is the literature for baby goths"), this one book whose name I ALSO can't remember but these girls get sent to detention and then in detention get sucked into Oz where the Wicked Witch has been resorting to draining the youth and vitality from grapes, Here Be Monsters! by Alan Snow (Laika did this book SO dirty in the adaptation but also Snow promised us sequels and never delivered so like. bed made and laid in ig), The Edge Chronicles written by Paul Stewart & illustrated by Chris Riddell (art style INSANE world building INSANE), Fablehaven by Brandon Mull (can't tell if this is for real MG and it doesn't matter how thoroughly I fact check because this is the bonus round), Sisters Grimm (in my defense the oldest sister is 11), Children of the Lamp (premise definitely messy politically speaking but the magic system is very fun, there's a pink Jeep because the girl protagonist was in charge of making the getaway vehicle, and one of the magic words is, shit you not, qwertyuiop), and many more

coming online from the Istanbul airport (probably the one I like least out of all the ones I visited, sorry), to say that:

- I’ve watched Survivor S10 in full during my flight + layover and it is AMAZING and the final stretch is mind-blowing. Brilliant mirror of the themes of S1

- the weeks ahead should be incredibly busy with work, trying to finally write some new stuff and attending the Tallinn Film Festival. Exciting and exhausting!

- DOWN BELOW is currently at Thought Bubble UK! Like proper physical copies! With my words in them, as well as letters from @andriylukin and art from @martapreliy. Edited by Paul Carroll and Gary Moloney, collecting some incredible talent. I’m just really giddy to be among such cool folks in an actual print book. That makes two this year!
