(via Salt Pork, West Virginia (1945) - Louis Jordan)

Lecture 2: Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five perform “Saturday Night Fish Fry,” which topped the R&B charts in 1949. Although considered a “Race Record” at the time it was recorded, Jordan’s “Saturday Night Fish Fry” – co-written by Jordan and drummer/composer Ellis Walsh – was one of the many Jump Blues songs he performed that helped bridge the gap between R&B and early rock ‘n’ roll. In fact, a growing number of revisionists have come to regard the song as a straight-up rock ‘n’ roll tune, one of the first of its kind. The amusing song tells the story of two musicians wandering into a wild New Orleans fish fry that gets busted by the police, and the narrator ends up in the hoosegow. The song contains the same joie de vivre that’s evident in so much of Jordan’s music.

Hey! I miss interacting with u, hope you are doing well :)

What is the song that will most describe farleighs and y/ns friendship?

Hey! This is really sweet, anon! THank you! I'm doing great, I have a ton of exams and projects with school that are kind of kicking my butt rn, but today's my birthday so I am excited to share that with my family!

This is a really tough one, mostly because I never expected this friendship to be so popular with everyone. Although I shouldn't be surprised because Farleigh Start was actually so superior in the movie.

Personally, I think these songs really fit them

Gimme More by Brittany Spears

Bad Girls by M.I.A

That's My Girl by Fifth Harmony (also works for Annabel and Y/N)

So What by P!nk

Is You or Is You Ain't My Baby by Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five (look up Marvelous Mrs. Maisel with this song and TELL me that this won't be the most amazing duet with the pair)

Let me know in the comments of your opnions!

I feel like this is a good opportunity to give off some headcanons to describe the vibes I get from Fareligh and Y/n! There are also just my personal headcanons of Farleigh and his story in my AU! I made up these with the help of my internet soulmate @ethereal-athalia!

Here are some headcanons of my personal take of Farleigh's backstory in my AU and in general:

Is it weird if I can see Fareligh coming from New Orleans, Louisiana? Because I can absolutely see him giving off those vibes. He would fit PERFECTLY as a New Yorker, but I can't help but feel he would thrive in the Crescent City.

Farleigh really misses the States, and a big part of the reason he parties so much is to forget how homesick he is. I find it very odd that we are given this extremely intelligent character who would no doubt thrive in an Ivy League like Yale, Harvard, or Brown, but he's stuck in England. James definitely could have just paid for his education there, so why send him to England? Furthermore, why does James cover him up so much? Is it really just because he's family?

Remember when Felix told Oliver that Farleigh got kicked out of every school in England bc he "sucked the teachers off"? First off, ew. Secondly, sure, Farleigh is a bit of a hedonist, but all of his behavior just kind of screams to me that he's really and genuinely unhappy in England and wants to go back. That might be a reason why he was so reluctant for Felix to get close to Y/N since Chapter 1 of 'Fuck Everything.'

Furthermore, it really bothers me how nonchalant Felix is about telling Oliver that piece of information. Even if he knows that Farleigh wouldn't really care, that is still very private information about a young boy who was taken advantage of by teachers who were in a position that allowed them to abuse their power.

Also, for a film that exposes so much about its characters, we really don't know a lot about Farleigh Start and his story, specifically his family in the States.

The part where Farleigh's mom is terrible with money and constantly needs handouts from her brother, James, is very realistic - that part, I believe. But I feel like there is a lot missing with his dad.

Was his dad actually as brutish and abusive as Felix said to Oliver? Personally, I don't really see it. Even at first glance, the way Farleigh carries himself is leagues different from the rest of the Cattons. He's observant and takes in details. He uses all this information as a weapon for any opponent he goes up against.

In my opinion, I could absolutely see Farleigh's dad being a completely normal and decent person with a job as a librarian or English professor. This idea is mostly stemmed from when Fareligh made the 'thus' argument against Oliver's essay at the beginning of the movie, and this seems like something Farleigh knows as if being explained about it from a very early age.

The reason I think his father is ill-portrayed is because I feel like Farleigh's mother met him while she was in America and was intrigued by his unassuming self and married him. But then she got bored because she wasn't living the high and expensive life she was living in England with her family.

Eventually, she got bored and decided to use Farleigh as an excuse to get money from James. Farleigh's dad might have wanted custody of his son but was threatened by his ex-wife that he would never see his son again.

Farleigh is aware of his mother's toxic tendencies, but she's his mother and he loves her anyway. He know she's leeching off of him to get to her brother. But what are his other options? Let her fend for herself?

This is probably so far-fetched and a huge reach, but the Cattons are portrayed as people who love to feed off their own sense of entitlement over others by showing of 'generous' and 'charitable' they are to take of other people. When anything bad happens to them, they wear it like a trophy. Maybe that's what happened with Farleigh?

NOW! Onto Farleigh and Reader (also ft. Michael Gavey bc he's bb):

Being around Y/N is like being at home for the first time in forever (cue Frozen song) for Farleigh. When they start talking, Y/N is extremely skeptical of his intentions because she thinks that he's just trying to help out Felix. But nope! He just wants a genuine friend.

Y/N makes it clear to Farleigh from the beginning that if he wants to be friends with her, he needs to be friends with Michael. Michael Gavey and Y/N L/N are a package deal. You want one? You get the other.

Farleigh keeps his friendship with Reader a secret from Felix and is helped by Annabel (our girl got a taste of true kindness, sees Felix Catton for the leech he is, and is now part of the Y/N protection club)

With Y/N, he doesn't feel the need to party or drink until he gets alcohol poisoning to have a good time. He learns to have quiet nights doing homework or playing stupid board games with made-up rules.

Michael and Y/N introduce him to DnD, and he's the classic Bard player who rolls for charisma and ends up f*cking his party out of danger every time. Michael is a paladin, and Y/N is a monk, in case you were wondering.

Y/N sometimes uses Farleigh to model for some of her portraits. She learns to appreciate him because she and Michael do need to be reminded sometimes that it's okay to cut loose at times and that spreading their wings won't kill them.

Y/N and Farleigh definitely geek out over art history and literature (symbolism, plot holes, motifs, etc.) and are BIG soul and blues fans. When they all hang out in Y/N's dorm, they will be listening to James Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, and Ray Charles till dawn.

Y/N is someone whom Farleigh can have actual mind-stimulating conversations with in a manner that's respectful but also wildly entertaining. They will discuss everything from rousing debates about politics and current events to philosophical queries about the omegaverse and mpreg.

Michael pretended he wasn't a fan until they caught him singing along to 'Hit the Road Jack' and they never let him forget it.

Also, Farleigh is a MAJOR Michael Gavey x Y/N fan. He wants them to get together SO BADLY! But he won't do this in a productive/uncomplicated way. Nonononono, he plans to make the most convoluted, dramatic, and needlessly complicated schemes to get these two nerds together for his own amusement. *Nudge* *Nudge* *Wink* *Wink*

Real talk though, Fareligh genuinely loves Y/N and her presence as a friend. He has all these expectations placed on him and fake friends who only want to be around him for his cousins. To be around someone who not only misses home like him but also truly appreciates him as an individual and not as a commodity for networking means the world to him.

If Y/N ever does go to Saltburn for the summer (*foreshadowing*), Farleigh will do everything in his power to make sure she won't get sucked into his relatives' fake and shallow schemes.

Also, as a bonus, he loves ranting and trash-talking Oliver with Y/N and Michael. It's like free therapy with better snacks because Michael always brings candy.

These are all the ones I can think of for now, but let me more in the comments or in my ask box if you want more! It really means so much that you guys love this AU so much!

Let me know if you want to be tagged in the comments for future Saltburn AU stuff!

Music Mondays

Today I drew James Brown aka 'The hardest-working man in the Show Business','Godfather of soul','Soul brother No.1' and 'Mr. Dynamite'.He was born on May 3rd in 1933. In Barnwell, South Carolina in a small wooden shack. His name was supposed to be Joseph James Brown but his first name and middle name got switched by accident. His dad was a mix of African American and Native American descent meanwhile his mom was a mix of African American and Asian descent. His family lived in poverty in Elko, South Carolina which was an impoverished town in 1933. And when he was 4 or 5, his family moved to Augusta, Georgia, they first settled in one of the aunt's brothel then they later shared a house with another aunt, his mom left the family because of contentious and abusive marriage and moved to New York (I don't know if his dad or mom had custody of him).He then began singing in talent shows as a young child, first appearing at Augusta's Lenox Theater in 1944. Winning the show after singing the ballad 'So Long'. While in Augusta, he performed buck dances for change to entertain troops from Camp Gordon at the start of World War II as their convoys traveled over a canal bridge near his aunt's home.Now this is where he first heard the legendary blues musician Howlin' Wolf play guitar.Then learned to play the piano, guitar, and harmonica during this period (so he was a multi-instrumentalist). He became inspired to become an entertainer after hearing 'Caldonia' by Louis Jordan and Tympany Five. In his teen years James had a career as a boxer for a short time.At the age of 16 he was convicted of robbery and sent to a juvenile detention center in Toccoa.In juvenile detention center, he formed a gospel quartet with four fellow cellmates, including Johnny Terry.He met singer Bobby Byrd when the two played against each other in a baseball game outside the detention center. Byrd also discovered that James could sing after hearing of 'A guy called music box', which was James's nickname at the prison. Bobby has since claimed he and his family helped to secure an early release, which led to James promising the court he would sing for the Lord. Brown was released on a work sponsorship with Toccoa business owner S.C. Lawson. Lawson was impressed with James's work ethic and secured his release with a promise to keep him employed for two years.He was paroled on June 14 in 1952.James went on to work with both of Lawson's sons, and would come back to visit the family from time to time throughout his career. Shortly after being paroled he joined the gospel group the Ever-Ready Gospel Singers, featuring Bobby's sister Sara. From 1954. Till 1961. He joined the band that changed its name into 'The Famous Flames' after their composition 'Please, please, please' became their hit. And the band would break up and be renamed as 'James Brown and his famous flames' and he released the ballad 'Try me' which was a hit in 1959. And the band then got revived. The band released their top 10 hit called '(Do the) Mashed Potatoes' on Dade Records, James released an album called 'Think!' under 'the famous flames' and even more such as 'Bewildered','I'll go crazy' and 'think' which hinted his shouting style. From 1962. To 1966. He became famous as Mr. Dynamite for the hits 'Lost Someone', 'Baby you're right','Joe Tex', 'Prisoner of love','Papa's got a brand new bag' (to which he won Grammy awards),'I got you' and his No.1 hit 'It's a Man's Man's Man's world'.From 1967. To 1970. He became known as Soul Brother No.1 for his hits 'Cold Sweat', 'Give it up or turnit a loose', 'Licking stick','Funky Drummer','Mother Popcorn','

I got the Feelin'','Gettin' Down to it','Soul on top' and 'I can't stand myself'.He did was active in social issues such as racism, He communed with the presidents and elected officials of all political stripes,made groundbreaking black pride anthems and may have saved Boston from being burned by rioters. He had Type 2 Diabetes that was not diagnosed for long and survived prostate cancer. Unfortunately on Christmas in 2006. He did from congestive heart failure. He won so many honors and awards throughout his life and after death,in 1993. The bridge is named after him 'James Brown Soul center of the universe bridge',he was inducted in Georgia music hall of Fame, Rock and roll hall of Fame,UK music hall of Fame, Atlantic city hall of fame,R&B music hall of Fame.He was awarded with lifetime achievement award after 34th annual Grammy award after that he got another lifetime achievement award for rhythm and blues pioneer award.He even got the star on the Hollywood walk of Fame.He got BMI urban icon at the BMI urban awards, he received the Golden Plate Award of the American Academy of Achievements.Mayor Charles DeVaney of Augusta held a ceremony to dedicate a section of 9th Street between Broad and Twiggs Streets, renamed 'James Brown Boulevard'.For his 72nd birthday, Augusta unveiled the bronze statue of him that was life-sized.The officials renamed the city's civic center the 'James Brown Arena'.president of Paine College, a historically black college in Augusta, Georgia, bestowed posthumously upon his an honorary doctorate in recognition and honor of his many contributions to the school in the times of need from the Paine College May 2007 commencement.During the 49th Annual Grammy Awards presentation on February 11 in 2007.James Brown's famous cape was draped over a microphone by Danny Ray at the end of a montage in honor of notable people in the music industry who died during the previous year. Earlier that evening, Christina Aguilera delivered an impassioned performance of Brown's hit 'It's a Man's Man's Man's World' followed by a standing ovation, while Chris Brown performed a dance routine in honor of James Brown.In his honor there was an art competition to create a James Brown tribute box on the corner of James Brown Blvd. (9th Ave.) and Broad St. The winner was Ms. Robbie Pitts Bellamy.

We feel good!

JumpStart ABC's contains an unused music track originally intended for its main screen. This track is actually an instrumental (and slightly sped up) rendition of "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie", a 1946 song originally performed by the jazz/blues band Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five. A comparison of the unused track and the original song is shown here.

(via Saxa - Woogie - Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five (1941)

Lecture 2: OK, turn the volume ALL the way up!!!  Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five play their insanely catchy song “Deacon Jones” (from the 1944 Columbia Pictures film Meet Miss Bobby Sox). Believe it or not, this flamboyant performance was actually subdued compared to the bandleader’s wild stage performance style. Jordan, like so many other “race records” and Jump Blues acts of the 1940s, was able to successfully cross the colour line by appealing to whites with catchy and upbeat tunes. “With my little band, I did everything they did with a big band. I made the blues jump,” Jordan once said. A creative dynamo, Jordan co-wrote most of his songs, and gained a reputation as one of the most ebullient bandleaders in the music industry. 

Made a mix for the first time in a while. Forgot that it’s fun to do, should get back to doing it more often.
