A Pastoral Horror Story
A Pastoral Horror Story
I heard a horror story yesterday. A large mega-church “hired” ten interns. One day before they were to finish their internships, they were all fired and none were given good recommendations. None. I said, “hired” in quotes because they were paid “slave wages” and worked long hours. At another church, apparently a mega-church with a “high-energy” atmosphere, the youth pastor was also under what…

otto thinks the worst thing the ai for the actuators can do is take over the world or some other crazy evil shit.
in fact, his worst nightmare turns out to be that they LOVE norman. like, really really love norman. they keep reaching for him and petting him and just touching him, flo hands him his jacket and larry keeps trying to bring him drinks all the time and moe keeos trying to give him blueprints to look at bevause norman loves science, right? and otto makes good science! lets show him.
they spend every moment possible trying to get the two of them together. norman and otto happen to walk down the street and harry is stealing a bunch of flowers and giving it to norman. they have a friendly work collegue lunch and moe pulls normans chair out for him. when otto gets frustrated or down one of them phones norman and puts the phone in front of otto and then, well, he has to talk to him, doesnt he? he cant just be like 'my robotic tentacle called you i dont actually want to call you' because thats rude and he always wants to talk to norman, and oh look at that he feels much better. theyre 2 seconds away from picking norman up and putting him in front of otto for him to kiss.
otto is utrerly mortified and norman thinks its adorable.

A-T-2 300 Disco Rap Pt.1
These are disco rap track where the raps are over a song that's already been a hit, a bit like how a riddim is used in Jamaican music
The Fearless Four - Rockin' It. We could call this the Man Machine Riddim! y'know because The Fearless Four are rapping over Man Machine by Kraftwerk. Sample technology was in it's infancy so this is a re-record like all other disco rap tracks, this also means the backing just isn't as crisp as the 1978 original and is full of disco flourishes you'd expect from funk musicians. The backing comes from Pumpkin & Friends, Pumpkin is Errol Bedward and friends are Dr Jeckyll & Mr Hyde and various members of The Disco Four. Their other 1982 single for Bobby Robinson's Enjoy Record was It's Magic which sees them rapping over a re-record of Cat Stevens' Was Dog A Doughnut from his 1977 album Izitso. Man Machine and Was Dog A Doughnut were two bboy records. Rockin' It itself has been sampled a lot, it's a hip hop classic from the disco rap era
youtube
Jimmy Spicer - The Bubble Bunch. Another hip hop classic, this one the follow up of Adventures Of Super Rhyme (Rap) from Jimmy Spicer (RIP) takes a section of Tom Browne's Thighs High (Grip Your Hips and Move.) It also uses a click track from the Casio VL-1 (like Michael Moorcock does on Time Centre A-T-2 198.) This one is also notable because it's mixed by Jellybean (who would cover Cat Stevens' Was Dog A Doughnut) and rap pioneer Kurtis Blow, and it's produced by pre Def Jam alleged sex predator Russel Simmons and former Kurtis Blow collaborator Larry Smith, Russel and Smith would go on to produce post-disco hip hop with Run DMC
youtube
Just Four - Jam To Remember. Shalamar's Night To Remember innit. Could you call this a posse cut? Lots of interesting personal on this record, first off Tricky Tee, he'll go on to work with Kurtis Mantronik but not to be mixed up with Mantronix's own Mc Tee, Kurtis Mantronik produces Tricky Tee's Thin Lizzy sampling solo single Johnny The Fox in 1985. Next up Wayne Brathwaite is one of the arrangers, Brathwaite is the bassist Mighty M Productions like to use (A-T-2 262) so we're talking Evelyn King and Kashif recordings. Then Jamaican's Glen Adams and Brad Osborne are writing, producing, and arranging. Glen Adams had been a key member of Lee Perry's band The Upsetters, as Glen Adams Affair he'd released the disco record Just A Groove for SAM Records in 1980. Brad Osborne moved to the Bronx in 1969 where he distributed Jamaican records and recorded visiting Jamaican musicians. These went out on his Brad and Clocktower labels. One of his early productions was of Glen Adams and a single called Tanya. In the early 80s he founded the hip hop imprint Grand Groove Records and the limited edition Dee Jay sub label
Just Four's Games Of Life is the first record to credit Marley Marl
youtube
Funky Four (sometimes Funky 4+1) - Do You Want to Rock (Before I Let Go.) This is over Maze's Before I Let Go. It goes off in a soul direction like what Sylvia Robinson was trying to do with label mates The Sequence around this time, the instrumental on the b side is essentially a modern soul track. It was produced by Sugar Hill owner, who I've just mentioned, Sylvia Robinson and in-house producer Clifton "Jiggs" Chase. Sugar Hill's band was Doug Wimbish bass, Skip McDonald guitar, and Keith LeBlanc drums. It's some silky smooth disco-rap
youtube
Brother D & The Collective Effort - How We Gonna Make The Black Nation Rise? Conscious rap originally released in 1980 as a b side, Island records pick it up and release it as an a side in the UK in 1982. Cheryl Lynn's To Be Real is the track they're rapping over, like many many others have. It was George Bernard Shaw famously described the mission of the Fabian Society to "Agitate, Educate, Organise" and that's the advise they are giving here... although as they're American it'll be Organize, right? I know this record from Coldcut's debut cut-up classic Say Kids
youtube
Dr Jeckyll & Mr Hyde - The Challenge (Instrumental)
So this is a bit of a secret weapon. The backing music is Nasty Girl by Prince's girl group Vanity 6, so on the b side there is essentially an extended instrumental of Nasty Girl. It's mixed and produced by Joe Tucci (Eric Matthew) of Gary's Gang et al. The a side is a cartoon boast record in reply to Vanity 6's Nasty Girl. Dr Jeckyll & Mr Hyde write for Captain Rock who was featured in the last post and probably had something to do with Rockin It above through their association with Pumpkin

The Forgiven (18): Trilobite by Jury.
#onemannsmovies review of "The Forgiven" (2022). #TheForgivenFilm. Intriguing desert drama with an immaculate Ralph Fiennes. 3.5/5.
A One Mann’s Movies review of “The Forgiven” (2022). Given the run of generally dodgy films that have been coming out recently in this arse-end of the summer season, “The Forgiven” dipped into cinemas for what seemed like a single week and then was gone again. But unlike some of those other movies, this was one that I greatly enjoyed. It has its flaws for sure, but I found it a thoughtful and…

Joan Osborne is the 2022 John Lennon Real Love Award Recipient
- “I am thrilled to be recognized by Yoko Ono, who has always been a heroine to me,” singer says
Joan Osborne is the 2022 recipient of the John Lennon Real Love award.
She’ll accept the honor and perform “some of my favorite John Lennon and Beatles songs” at the 42nd-annual John Lennon tribute and charity concert. It marks her record-setting 10th appearance.
“John Lennon’s songs always showed me that music is a way for us to tell our deepest truths - to ourselves, to each other and to the wider world,” Osborne said in a statement.
“I am deeply honored to be the recipient of this year’s John Lennon award, and I am thrilled to be recognized by Yoko Ono, who has always been a heroine to me.”
Proceeds from the show benefit the nonprofit Theatre Within, which provides free songwriting programs for public elementary schools and free songwriting workshops for children and adults impacted by cancer. Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams, Willie Nile, Martin Sexton and others will share the stage with Osborne, who headlines the gig.
“For many years, Joan Osborne’s beautiful voice has touched our hearts,” Ono said in a statement.
“I am in great admiration of Joan’s support of charities that provide health care for women, assistance for children affected by war and so many others.”

Have views changed on sentinels at all? That is to say, when they first come out in universe vs now is there a larger group of humans thatre rallying and protesting against sentinels both in useage and imagery , or is there unfortunately a widespread tolerance for sentinels and shoulder shrug at best whenever a new model comes out. I imagine the stark branding this time around helps the. ~ evil marketing ~
Great question!
So in-universe, Sentinels are traditionally rather controversial, both because of the issues they raise about prejudice and equal rights, but also because of their tendency to revolt against their human masters that led to the deaths of Bolivar and Larry Trask. On the other hand, humans frequently blamed mutants for the violence caused by Sentinels, so the Sentinels were a potent symbol of anti-mutant prejudice used by anti-mutant groups.
Tumblr media
This changed somewhat in the wake of M-Day, when President Bush established by executive order the Office of National Emergency (ONE) and created the Sentinel Squad O.N.E as part of the U.S Government's national security infrastructure. Built by Tony Stark and led by James Rhodes under oversight from (the bitch) Val Cooper, these Mark VIII Sentinels were designed as mecha as opposed to robots as a way to avoid the whole Skynet scenario that had happened repeatedly in the past. (Notably, Tony would go on to build Stark Sentinels again during AXIS, because he would rather die than learn from his past mistakes.)
This use of Sentinels continued under SHIELD Director Tony Stark and HAMMER Director Norman Osborn, as well as through O.N.E and the Commission on Superhuman Activities. In addition to the Sentinel Squad, we have Juston Seyfert as part of Avengers Academy, etc. So for a period of about seven years' publication time, Sentinels were periodically accepted and used by the U.S national security state and promoted as a symbol of national protection and defense.
Shortly prior to Fall of X, Tony's tech would be used by Feilong when he took over Stark Unlimited to build ORCHIS a fleet of fully robotic Stark Sentinels. (And it should be noted that ORCHIS was founded by ex-AIM, SHIELD, STRIKE, SWORD, ARMOR, HAMMER, and other national security agencies as well as HYDRA.) And yes, ORCHIS used Stark's branding as part of the Culture/Narrative petal's project of justification and legitimation.

British actor Larry Dann became a household name in the 1980s through his wholly believable performance as the likeable and dependable sergeant, Alec Peters, in 229 episodes of ITV's long-running police drama, The Bill (2500 episodes 1983-2010). His autobiography has just been published by specialists in British television tie-ins, Oliver Crocker's Devonfire Books.
In the days before internet and social media, it was too easy to assume that mature actors in high profile roles appeared out of nowhere, fully formed, but of course that wasn't the case at all. Actors of Larry Dann's generation learned their craft over many years, through determination, no shortage of courage, and sheer, unrelenting hard graft. Born in 1941, he worked as a child actor in movies, which included a brush with Spencer Tracy, Deborah Kerr and George Cukor, and studied at the Corona Academy stage school from where he built an enduring career on stage and screen.
One of many highlights in Larry Dann's memoir is the fascinating window he affords us into the iconic Theatre Workshop, run by Joan Littlewood, and the production of their huge international hit, Oh What a Lovely War which, according to Michael Billington in The Guardian, not only changed attitudes toward the Great War, it also 'remade British theatre'.
"…So what effect did Oh What a Lovely War have? It helped change attitudes to the first world war. Although we may have read the poetry of Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, we had never before seen popular entertainment express the disenchantment felt at the time by the average soldier. Looking back at the 1963 programme, it is also clear that the production was intended as a political provocation…On a purely theatrical level, the show also did a lot to loosen up the formal rigidity of the British theatre. It was active in demolishing the gap between stage and auditorium, promoted the growth of the musical documentary and encouraged actors to take responsibility for research and development…"
Tumblr media
In Joan Littlewood's Oh What a Lovely War, which also featured his friend Brian Murphy, who later starred as George Roper in George and Mildred, and who wrote the foreword to Oh, What a Lovely Memoir
Tumblr media
Larry Dann's diverse film career included some major Hollywood productions and a joyous experience working with David Niven, who we learn was just as charming, generous and friendly as his image portrayed, and neatly bookended the Carry On franchise, appearing in one of the earliest offerings, Teacher (1959), and in the final three of the original run; Behind (1976), England (1977), and the widely maligned, notorious Emmannuelle (1978).
Tumblr media
With Carol Hawkins, Sherrie Hewson and Brian Osborne in Carry On Behind
He also carved out a lucrative sideline in television commercials, working with some of the pioneering directors in that field, including Alan Parker, and Ridley and Tony Scott.
Larry Dann writes with pragmatic honesty about family troubles growing up, and the rollercoaster working life of an actor even with major roles in their CV. Oh, What a Lovely Memoir is a recommended read with some wonderful insights into the evolution of entertainment in post-war Britain.
Larry Dann was one of the first stars of The Bill to be interviewed by Oliver Crocker for The Bill Podcast.

My Playlist: Jimmy Kaga-Ricci Needs a Hug
A Song Analysis.
1. Hey Angel by One Direction- starting off strong with this one for multiple reasons. the one-sided dialogue with an angel reflects the religious imagery of the book and jimmy taking comfort in his religion by talking to god. the words also work really well if you imagine this as jimmy talking to angel about switching roles in life. also, the one direction larry stylinson situation very much fueled alice's idea for jowan, i think, the parallels are very clear.
2. Play My Music by The Jonas Brothers- a fun little jam about a boy just wanting to play his music
3. Salt by Bad Suns- the lead singer of bad suns wrote this song for his transgender friend, but i really would not have guessed that this was written by a cisgender person if i had not looked it up. phenomenal articulation of a transgender experience, obviously the song belongs here
4. Love Me by The 1975- the lyrics reflect jimmy's theme that it is silly to idolize somebody that you don't know
5. Social Cues by Cage The Elephant- another song about coping with fame and anxiety
6. Stressed Out by Twenty One Pilots- jimmy is very stressed, obviously, and reminiscent of when times were simpler
7. You’d Be Paranoid Too (If Everyone You Knew Was Out To Get You) by Waterparks- another song about his anxiety. this song makes me think about how he is so worried about somebody breaking into their apartment and his room. he is frequently worried about being in danger from others
8. Karma by AJR- a song from the perspective of a famous person in therapy. in a podcast explaining the making of this song, the lead singer explains that they edited multiple takes of the bridge together so that there would be no audible breaths in between lines, which heightens the sense that the narrator is spiraling into a panic attack. very much how i imagine jimmy finally in therapy
9. One of Us by Joan Osborn- alice said so and i agree
10. Starting Line by Luke Hemmings- this one is hard to explain, but it's essentially about feeling emotionally numb throughout life due to poor mental health and feeling like life is flying by without really experiencing any of it. i have multiple songs from this album sprinkled throughout all of my playlists for the ark boys, and this one just feels the most like jimmy
11. Only The Brave by Louis Tomlinson- i love that this song has been adopted by fans to be about lgbtq+ bravery. it has to be included
12. Lights Up by Harry Styles- really reflects how little sense of self jimmy has. the main line "lights up, do you know who you are?" really stands out because jimmy states multiple times in the book that he does not know who he is
13. Run Boy Run by Woodkid- maybe this one is a bit dramatic, but it's my running away song, so it naturally goes here
14. Laura Palmer by Bastille- gosh, i love this song. it's another one that's hard to articulate, but it's perfect. "you ran into the night, you can't be found. this is your heart, can you feel it? pumped through your veins, can you feel it?" jimmy runs away, finally acting on his own autonomy, and this song is perfect for it.
15. Make it Stop by COIN- another song about being anxious and overwhelmed. reflective of jimmy trying to put a hold on his chaos that is life by running away from it
16. Anti-Hero by Taylor Swift- this is how jimmy views himself
17. I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes) by The 1975- this song reflects the comments jimmy makes to lister in his childhood bedroom. you know what i'm talking about
18. Weight of Living, Pt. 1 by Bastille- what's this? another song about jimmy's anxiety and the weight of his fame and chaotic life? wow!
19. Earth To God by COIN- a great song narrating a one-sided dialogue with god. this song makes me think of the scene where he stops inside the church in kent
20. 2011 by 5 Seconds of Summer- this is THE jam-session-in-pierro’s-basement song, i don't make the rules. listen to the lyrics and tell me i'm wrong, i dare you. it's literally a band jamming out reminiscing on the days before fame when life was easier and they could just be innocent and play music for fun
21. Comedown by Luke Hemmings- 🎶it’s been a hell of a week🎶
22. Guys by The 1975- alice said so and i agree
23. Give Yourself A Try by The 1975- this just gives end of the book vibes. i hope jimmy starts to give himself a try after all of this
