A-T-3 192 Earl Young’s Trammps - What Happened To The Music

Massive record!

It's father's day. My dad is a 60s and 70s soul fan. Just My Imagination is his favourite track. When I was developing my own taste for music in the early 1980s my dad would have rants about how hip hop and 80s boogie wasn't 'real' music (like The Stylistics, The Delphonics, The Chi-lItes, The Drifters etc. are proper music)

Singer and drummer Earl Young founded The Trammps, he was also the Young in the Baker-Harris-Young production team that wrote, arranged, and produced many Philly hits in the 1970s, and played on many more (the kind of stuff my dad loves, the soul tracks more than the disco classics)

What Happened To The Music? came when studios were employing new sophisticated technology like computers and synthesizers to do the work of many musicians. Earl Young was from the days of using a full orchestra, most notably for him MFSB and the Salsoul Orchestra. These orchestra's were struggling to survive and breaking up, and recording musicians (former colleagues) were finding it harder to get gigs

What Happened To The Music was popular with many of New York and Chicago's finest DJs. It's a great record and I rate both sides. Here's Paul Simpson's Dub from the b of the 12

HAPPY GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE RELEASE DAY!

Rating Beatle Caricatures from The Simpsons (Non-Exhaustive)

7/10. Pretty much exactly what you'd imagine "Simpsons-style Beatles" to look like. Paul's sultry-yet-superior eyes are simple and effective. John and George are recognizable but unremarkable, though John's Roman nose has translated well. Ringo's puppy dog eyes are perfect and his nose is only mildly offensive.

11/10. Deeply offensive portrayal of the snooter but I don't care. I want a pocket sized figurine of this character to carry with me at all times because looking at this picture tells me that everything is going to be all right. The warm fuzziness of Ringo Starr has blended perfectly with the warm fuzziness of classic Simpsons and I could not be happier.

2/10. I'm not saying it isn't accurate, I'm just saying that I hate it.

9/10. I'm biased because this episode sparked my interest in vegetarianism, but they really have captured the effeminate, dreamy, fuckable look of mid 90s Paul McCartney incredibly well, right down to the eyebrows. There's a touch of their later tendency to draw celebrities in a less stylistic way than original characters, but he's still very clearly Simpsons Paul. We don't have to talk about what they did to Linda.

3/10. The glasses are doing a LOT of work here. Somehow it feels like they tried to make him more conventionally attractive, like they put their reference photo through an Instagram filter before they drew it. It's symptomatic of modern Simpsons in that it's pleasant to look at but devoid of personality or joy. Also, on a personal note, this episode led to a lot of jokes online about how John would never go to heaven, which isn't so much offensive as offensively first-thought.

0/10. Soulless.

10000000/10. I know technically this one doesn't count, but this episode and specifically this still is undeniably their best and most compelling caricature of The Beatles. Apu radiating George-esque exhaustion and disillusionment, Barney/John looking to Homer/Paul with mistrust (but he's still looking to him), and Skinner with his eyes downcast, fully withdrawn into himself, a stone in a torrential river that is finally overflowing its banks. They've deviated from the original image but in doing so have made its impact more pointed and powerful. As we look at this still we become heartbreakingly aware that The Be Sharps are over in every way that matters, and yet we know too that they are not over. That the love Homer felt for his unborn child when he wrote Baby On Board is only growing stronger every day, that the things expressed in this episode will continue to matter to us even after the characters have returned to their normal roles. The Simpsons is episodic by nature and nothing, no matter how compelling, will still exist in a week. But ephemeral things like love and hope and earnestness are no less powerful, no less the purpose of our human lives, because they come to us in brief episodes. Just because they no longer exist it doesn't mean they are no longer real. I don't know why Yoko looks like that.

Steve Evans Slams 'Undeserving' Carlisle United After Late Winner

Stevenage manager Steve Evans was far from pleased with his side’s defending during a disappointing 2-2 draw at home with League One strugglers Carlisle United. Boro took the lead at the Lamex Stadium after a quarter of an hour when James Reid got himself on the scoresheet. However, Stevenage’s lead didn’t last very long when Republic of Ireland international Sean Maguire equalised for the…

A-T-3 090 Paul Simpson Connection - Use Me, Lose Me (Reprise Me)

My neighbours have been having their kitchen refitted this week so it's been too noisy to work from home. I will inevitably find myself looking at records if I leave my house and I've had a cracking week on finds. A few years ago I used to hear young uns (they're probably in their 30s) say "you can't find good records in second hand shops anymore" it was rubbish then and it is now

One of the records I picked up for £1 was Paul Simpson Connection - Use Me, Lose Me which became a hit in 1983. It was co-produced by then regular partner Winston Jones (Cultural Vibe, Tribal House) and mixed by Tony Humphries, Rozlyn Sorrell is the vocalist. Use Me, Lose Me was recorded at Fred Zarr's studio, mixed at Blank Tapes, released on Arthur Baker's Streetwise label, and it was played by all the greats in New York and Chicago. Some people call it disco others house, it's just a great track
