Time After Time

Written By: Cyndi Lauper & Rob Hyman

Artist: Cyndi Lauper

Released: 1984

Cover included: Iron & Wine, 2016

Written by Lauper, with assistance from Rob Hyman, “Time After Time” is one of the all-time great love ballads. It was Lauper’s first #1 hit and arguably her signature song. After Lauper had already recorded the large majority of her debut album—She’s So Unusual—her producer Rick Chertoff insisted she needed “one more song.” Chertoff introduced her to Hyman and they began working on the song. Lauper came up with the title while reading TV Guide—Time After Time was a 1979 science fiction movie starring Malcolm McDowell as H. G. Wells, portraying him inventing a time traveling machine. Lauper’s label initially wanted this song to be her first single before she convinced them to go with “Girls Just Want To Have Fun.” In her memoir, Lauper recounts: “When the album was completed, the label wanted the first single to be “Time After Time.” But I kept saying to them, “Listen to me—releasing a ballad first defines you in a certain way. You become known as a balladeer, and it can kill your career.”

[Verse 1] Lyin' in my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you Caught up in circles Confusion is nothing new Flashback, warm nights almost left behind Suitcase of memories Time after [Verse 2] Sometimes you picture me I'm walkin' too far ahead You're callin' to me I can't hear what you've said Then you say, "Go slow," I fall behind The second hand unwinds [Chorus] If you're lost, you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting Time after time If you're lost, you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall, I will catch you, oh, I'll be waiting (I will be waiting) Time after time [Verse 3] After my picture fades And darkness has turned to gray Watchin' through windows You're wondering if I'm okay Secrets stolen from deep inside The drum beats out of time [Chorus] If you're lost, you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting Time after time [Bridge] You say, "Go slow," I fall behind The second hand unwinds [Chorus] If you're lost, you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting Time after time If you're lost, you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall, I will catch you, oh, I'll be waiting (I will be waiting) Time after time [Outro] Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after Time

Summertime

Written By: Mikey Way, Ray Toro, Gerard Way & Frank Iero

Artist: My Chemical Romance

Released: 2010

“Summertime” is a ‘new wave’ song, allegedly believed to be written about frontman Gerard Way’s wife, Lyn-z Way. In an interview, Gerard said that it started as a riff Mikey had written, before evolving into a song they ‘couldn’t have the record without.’ “[“Summertime”] is one of the lyrically personal songs on the album, whereas the rest of it is just me talking about my worldview. So it’s a really beautiful song and again—no rules. We can have a soft song.”

[Verse 1] When the lights go out Will you take me with you And carry all this broken bone Through six years down In crowded rooms and highways I call home? Is something I can't know till now Till you picked me off the ground With brick in hand, your lip-gloss smile Your scraped-up knees and [Chorus] If you stay, I would even wait all night Or until my heart explodes, how long until we Find our way in the dark and out of harm? You can run away with me anytime you want [Verse 2] Terrified of what I'd be As a kid, from what I've seen Every single day when people try And put the pieces back together Just to smash them down Turn my headphones up real loud I don't think I need them now 'Cause you stop the noise and [Chorus] If you stay, I would even wait all night Or until my heart explodes, how long until we Find our way in the dark and out of harm? You can run away with me anytime you want [Post-Chorus] Well, anytime you want Well, anytime you want [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Don't walk away, don't walk away Don't walk away, don't walk away! [Chorus] 'Cause if you stay, I would even wait all night Or until my heart explodes, how long until we Find our way in the dark and out of harm? You can run away with me [Post-Chorus] Or you can write it on your arm You can run away with me Anytime you want

Release: September 1, 1987

Lyrics:

Hush little baby don't cry like that

God's gonna buy you a Cadillac

he's chosen you to do his will

you can spread the world in your coupe de ville

so jump in the river and learn to swim

God's gonna wash away all your sins

and if you still can't see the light

God's gonna buy you a satellite

so jump in the river

look to the heavens and see it shine

heals the sick and leads the blind

tune it in and hear it say

it's counting down to judgment day

hey satellite man your time has come

your words received by everyone

and should you fall, well that's OK

you love the ones that you betray

Songwriter:

so jump in the river and learn to swim

God's gonna take away all your sins

and when at last you see the light

God's gonna buy you a satellite

Girls, they wanna have fun

Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual (CBS-Portrait, 1983) - Art Direction and Design by Janet Perr, Photograph by Annie Liebovitz, Concept by Janet Perr and Cyndi Lauper

This photo was taken somewhere in Coney Island. If anyone has any info on that building and if it still stands in some capacity, let me know.

Perr won the Grammy for Best Album Package in 1985 for this cover.

This debut album is actually a combo of original songs co-written by Lauper and covers of lesser-known songs. "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" was part of the latter camp, having been originally written and performed by Robert Hazard. Lauper actually hated the song and didn't want to perform it, but album producer Rick Chertoff convinced her that it could be her first major hit. And it was.

The back cover is here:

Notice Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night?

Taj Mahal

Henry Saint Clair Fredericks (born May 17, 1942), who uses the stage name Taj Mahal, is an American blues musician, a singer-songwriter and film composer who plays the guitar, piano, banjo, harmonica, and many other instruments. He often incorporates elements of world music into his works and has done much to reshape the definition and scope of blues music over the course of his more than 50-year career by fusing it with nontraditional forms, including sounds from the Caribbean, Africa, and the South Pacific.

Early life

Born Henry Saint Clair Fredericks, Jr. on May 17, 1942, in Harlem, New York, Mahal grew up in Springfield, Massachusetts. He was raised in a musical environment; his mother was a member of a local gospel choir and his father was an Afro-Caribbean jazz arranger and piano player. His family owned a shortwave radio which received music broadcasts from around the world, exposing him at an early age to world music. Early in childhood he recognized the stark differences between the popular music of his day and the music that was played in his home. He also became interested in jazz, enjoying the works of musicians such as Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk and Milt Jackson. His parents came of age during the Harlem Renaissance, instilling in their son a sense of pride in his Caribbean and African ancestry through their stories.

Because his father was a musician, his house was frequently the host of other musicians from the Caribbean, Africa, and the U.S. His father, Henry Saint Clair Fredericks Sr., was called "The Genius" by Ella Fitzgerald before starting his family. Early on, Henry Jr. developed an interest in African music, which he studied assiduously as a young man. His parents also encouraged him to pursue music, starting him out with classical piano lessons. He also studied the clarinet, trombone and harmonica. When Mahal was eleven his father was killed in an accident at his own construction company, crushed by a tractor when it flipped over. This was an extremely traumatic experience for the boy.

Mahal's mother later remarried. His stepfather owned a guitar which Taj began using at age 13 or 14, receiving his first lessons from a new neighbor from North Carolina of his own age who played acoustic blues guitar. His name was Lynwood Perry, the nephew of the famous bluesman Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup. In high school Mahal sang in a doo-wop group.

For some time Mahal thought of pursuing farming over music. He had developed a passion for farming that nearly rivaled his love of music—coming to work on a farm first at age 16. It was a dairy farm in Palmer, Massachusetts, not far from Springfield. By age nineteen he had become farm foreman, getting up a bit after 4:00 a.m. and running the place. "I milked anywhere between thirty-five and seventy cows a day. I clipped udders. I grew corn. I grew Tennessee redtop clover. Alfalfa." Mahal believes in growing one's own food, saying, "You have a whole generation of kids who think everything comes out of a box and a can, and they don't know you can grow most of your food." Because of his personal support of the family farm, Mahal regularly performs at Farm Aid concerts.

Taj Mahal, his stage name, came to him in dreams about Gandhi, India, and social tolerance. He started using it in 1959 or 1961—around the same time he began attending the University of Massachusetts. Despite having attended a vocational agriculture school, becoming a member of the National FFA Organization, and majoring in animal husbandry and minoring in veterinary science and agronomy, Mahal decided to take the route of music instead of farming. In college he led a rhythm and blues band called Taj Mahal & The Elektras and, before heading for the U.S. West Coast, he was also part of a duo with Jessie Lee Kincaid.

Career

In 1964 he moved to Santa Monica, California, and formed Rising Sons with fellow blues rock musician Ry Cooder and Jessie Lee Kincaid, landing a record deal with Columbia Records soon after. The group was one of the first interracial bands of the period, which likely made them commercially unviable. An album was never released (though a single was) and the band soon broke up, though Legacy Records did release The Rising Sons Featuring Taj Mahal and Ry Cooder in 1992 with material from that period. During this time Mahal was working with others, musicians like Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy, Lightnin' Hopkins, and Muddy Waters. Mahal stayed with Columbia after the Rising Sons to begin his solo career, releasing the self-titled Taj Mahal and The Natch'l Blues in 1968, and Giant Step/De Old Folks at Home with Kiowa session musician Jesse Ed Davis from Oklahoma, who played guitar and piano in 1969. During this time he and Cooder worked with the Rolling Stones, with whom he has performed at various times throughout his career. In 1968, he performed in the film The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. He recorded a total of twelve albums for Columbia from the late 1960s into the 1970s. His work of the 1970s was especially important, in that his releases began incorporating West Indian and Caribbean music, jazz and reggae into the mix. In 1972, he acted in and wrote the film score for the movie Sounder, which starred Cicely Tyson. He reprised his role and returned as composer in the sequel, Part 2, Sounder.

In 1976 Mahal left Columbia and signed with Warner Bros. Records, recording three albums for them. One of these was another film score for 1977's Brothers; the album shares the same name. After his time with Warner Bros., he struggled to find another record contract, this being the era of heavy metal and disco music.

Stalled in his career, he decided to move to Kauai, Hawaii in 1981 and soon formed the Hula Blues Band. Originally just a group of guys getting together for fishing and a good time, the band soon began performing regularly and touring. He remained somewhat concealed from most eyes while working out of Hawaii throughout most of the 1980s before recording Taj in 1988 for Gramavision. This started a comeback of sorts for him, recording both for Gramavision and Hannibal Records during this time.

In the 1990s Mahal became deeply involved in supporting the nonprofit Music Maker Relief Foundation. As of 2019, he was still on the Foundation's advisory board.

In the 1990s he was on the Private Music label, releasing albums full of blues, pop, R&B and rock. He did collaborative works both with Eric Clapton and Etta James.

In 1998, in collaboration with renowned songwriter David Forman, producer Rick Chertoff and musicians Cyndi Lauper, Willie Nile, Joan Osborne, Rob Hyman, Garth Hudson and Levon Helm of the Band, and the Chieftains, he performed on the Americana album Largo based on the music of Antonín Dvořák.

In 1997 he won Best Contemporary Blues Album for Señor Blues at the Grammy Awards, followed by another Grammy for Shoutin' in Key in 2000. He performed the theme song to the children's television show Peep and the Big Wide World, which began broadcast in 2004.

In 2002, Mahal appeared on the Red Hot Organization's compilation album Red Hot and Riot in tribute to Nigerian afrobeat musician Fela Kuti. The Paul Heck produced album was widely acclaimed, and all proceeds from the record were donated to AIDS charities.

Taj Mahal contributed to Olmecha Supreme's 2006 album 'hedfoneresonance'. The Wellington-based group led by Mahal's son Imon Starr (Ahmen Mahal) also featured Deva Mahal on vocals.

Mahal partnered up with Keb' Mo' to release a joint album TajMo on May 5, 2017. The album has some guest appearances by Bonnie Raitt, Joe Walsh, Sheila E., and Lizz Wright, and has six original compositions and five covers, from artists and bands like John Mayer and The Who.

In 2013, Mahal appeared in the documentary film 'The Byrd Who Flew Alone', produced by Four Suns Productions. The film was about Gene Clark, one of the original Byrds, who was a friend of Mahal for many years.

In June 2017, Mahal appeared in the award-winning documentary film The American Epic Sessions, directed by Bernard MacMahon, recording Charley Patton's "High Water Everywhere" on the first electrical sound recording system from the 1920s. Mahal appeared throughout the accompanying documentary series American Epic, commenting on the 1920s rural recording artists who had a profound influence on American music and on him personally.

Musical style

Mahal leads with his thumb and middle finger when fingerpicking, rather than with his index finger as the majority of guitar players do. "I play with a flatpick," he says, "when I do a lot of blues leads." Early in his musical career Mahal studied the various styles of his favorite blues singers, including musicians like Jimmy Reed, Son House, Sleepy John Estes, Big Mama Thornton, Howlin' Wolf, Mississippi John Hurt, and Sonny Terry. He describes his hanging out at clubs like Club 47 in Massachusetts and Ash Grove in Los Angeles as "basic building blocks in the development of his music." Considered to be a scholar of blues music, his studies of ethnomusicology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst would come to introduce him further to the folk music of the Caribbean and West Africa. Over time he incorporated more and more African roots music into his musical palette, embracing elements of reggae, calypso, jazz, zydeco, R&B, gospel music, and the country blues—each of which having "served as the foundation of his unique sound." According to The Rough Guide to Rock, "It has been said that Taj Mahal was one of the first major artists, if not the very first one, to pursue the possibilities of world music. Even the blues he was playing in the early 70s – Recycling The Blues & Other Related Stuff (1972), Mo' Roots (1974) – showed an aptitude for spicing the mix with flavours that always kept him a yard or so distant from being an out-and-out blues performer." Concerning his voice, author David Evans writes that Mahal has "an extraordinary voice that ranges from gruff and gritty to smooth and sultry."

Taj Mahal believes that his 1999 album Kulanjan, which features him playing with the kora master of Mali's Griot tradition Toumani Diabate, "embodies his musical and cultural spirit arriving full circle." To him it was an experience that allowed him to reconnect with his African heritage, striking him with a sense of coming home. He even changed his name to Dadi Kouyate, the first jali name, to drive this point home. Speaking of the experience and demonstrating the breadth of his eclecticism, he has said:

The microphones are listening in on a conversation between a 350-year-old orphan and its long-lost birth parents. I've got so much other music to play. But the point is that after recording with these Africans, basically if I don't play guitar for the rest of my life, that's fine with me....With Kulanjan, I think that Afro-Americans have the opportunity to not only see the instruments and the musicians, but they also see more about their culture and recognize the faces, the walks, the hands, the voices, and the sounds that are not the blues. Afro-American audiences had their eyes really opened for the first time. This was exciting for them to make this connection and pay a little more attention to this music than before.

Taj Mahal has said he prefers to do outdoor performances, saying: "The music was designed for people to move, and it's a bit difficult after a while to have people sitting like they're watching television. That's why I like to play outdoor festivals-because people will just dance. Theatre audiences need to ask themselves: 'What the hell is going on? We're asking these musicians to come and perform and then we sit there and draw all the energy out of the air.' That's why after a while I need a rest. It's too much of a drain. Often I don't allow that. I just play to the goddess of music-and I know she's dancing."

Mahal has been quoted as saying, "Eighty-one percent of the kids listening to rap were not black kids. Once there was a tremendous amount of money involved in it ... they totally moved it over to a material side. It just went off to a terrible direction. ...You can listen to my music from front to back, and you don't ever hear me moaning and crying about how bad you done treated me. I think that style of blues and that type of tone was something that happened as a result of many white people feeling very, very guilty about what went down."

Awards

Taj Mahal has received three Grammy Awards (ten nominations) over his career.

1997 (Grammy Award) Best Contemporary Blues Album for Señor Blues

2000 (Grammy Award) Best Contemporary Blues Album for Shoutin' in Key

2006 (Blues Music Awards) Historical Album of the Year for The Essential Taj Mahal

2008 (Grammy Nomination) Best Contemporary Blues Album for Maestro

2018 (Grammy Award) Best Contemporary Blues Album for TajMo

On February 8, 2006 Taj Mahal was designated the official Blues Artist of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

In March 2006, Taj Mahal, along with his sister, the late Carole Fredericks, received the Foreign Language Advocacy Award from the Northeast Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages in recognition of their commitment to shine a spotlight on the vast potential of music to foster genuine intercultural communication.

On May 22, 2011, Taj Mahal received an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree from Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina. He also made brief remarks and performed three songs. A video of the performance can be found online.

In 2014, Taj Mahal received the Americana Music Association's Lifetime Achievement award.

Um, It's Kind of a Lot

Written By: Will Wood

Artist: Will Wood

Released: 2022

This song is about the singer's conflicting emotions of both immense love and fear towards the person they are in a relationship with. The singer expresses various types of fear, such as being afraid of leaving the house, dying of cancer, and four-letter words like "love," but then expresses the overwhelming love they have for this person. This love becomes so powerful and consuming that "it scares me half to death." Ultimately, the singer realizes the immense amount of love that makes them so fearful, and admits that "it's kind of a lot." This song expresses the complexities of love and fear, and how those conflicting emotions can be so intense and difficult to navigate.

[Verse 1] I'm afraid of leaving my house I'm afraid of dying of cancer I'm afraid of black Sedans, white vans, and computers I'm afraid of losing my mind I'm afraid of windows and airplanes I'm afraid of my past, my fans, and my future But I've never been afraid of no one breaking my heart It's not like I'm 'bout to fall and cut my throat on the shards And I'm afraid of damn near everything All my life's a panic trip, a rocketship to planet schizoid Hold me like a tourniquet, and I'll you, like an iron maiden I've grown used to fear But no, not to you yet, my dear [Chorus] Oh, I love you so much it scares me half to death I'm not used to this, how did it happen, baby? Oh, I love you so much it scares me half to death The other half, I guess I'm giving to you Oh, baby [Verse 2] Oh, I'm afraid that you'll change your mind I'm afraid there's somebody better I'm afraid of four-letter words, like "love", "for", and "ever" (Or whatever) And I'm afraid you'll notice all my flaws I'm afraid you already have, obviously And I'm afraid I'll come on too strong, hold you too tight, and scare you too But I never been afraid to wear my heart on my sleeve At least to prove I'm weak, and if you cut me, I'll bleed Oh, could you be the light my X-rays need? All my life's a Duchovny role Oh, Gillian, you won't believe this Spit me out, you don't know where I've been Hold me at claw's length, baby I'm not used to fear of losing something I hold dear [Chorus] Oh, I love you so much it scares me half to death I'm not used to this, how did it happen, baby? I love you so much it scares me half to death The other half I guess I'm giving to you Oh, baby [Bridge] I'll twist my words, a clever turn of phrase Sorry, darling, please excuse my constant need to self-aggrandize Coddling my narcissism, M.A.D., come ride my A-bomb While I beg you to say I'm okay So here's one last lyric to sum up these thoughts I struggled to come up with To make me sound deep and smart, and then I promise I'll shut up Wait, let me think, hold on, I got this Anything but "I'm in love with you" [Chorus] I love you so much it scares me half to death How should I put this, how did this happen, baby? Oh, I love you so much it scares me half to death The other half I guess I'm giving to you Oh, baby (Uhh, I mean, it's kind of a lot…)

Release: July 26, 1994

Lyrics:

I'm dancing in the shadows of life

And death is all around me tonight

I miss you making love to me right

Beside myself I'm holding you tight

Someone is waiting for me to rise

And dive into the ocean I cried

And I cried and I cried my baby to sleep

Beside myself my soul to keep

Right beside you I see

Right beside you I stay

Right beside you I'll be

Right beside you always

We're dancing in the shade of the summer sun

The drums are playing

The change to come was yesterday

In the heat beside myself I need to keep

Right beside you I feel

Right beside you I am

Right beside you I kneel

Right beside you I stand

Right beside you I see

Right beside you I stay

Right beside you I'll be

Right beside you always

Driving into town with the top down

Sun sinking low into the water I can feel your speed

One hand on the wheel one hand on my knee

I can tell you what I want you can do what you need

Darling nights are getting cooler in the city so close

There's a place we can do it somewhere right along the coast

We'll arrive on time just a little bit late

It's not a matter of style just a lesson in taste

I remember when I was your child

You made me up to be your lover

Now I'm standing right beside you

Other people still exsist

I don't pretend to love them less but darling

When you drive this way I lose my breath

Right beside you I feel

Right beside you I am

Right beside you I kneel

Right beside you I stand

Right beside you I see

Right beside you I stay

Right beside you I'll be

Always

Songwriter:

Right beside you I feel

Right beside you I am

Right beside you I kneel

Right beside you I stand

Right beside you I see

Right beside you I stay

Right beside you I'll be

Right beside you always

Como uno de nosotros

Hoy me dieron ganas de compartirles una excelente canción, en lo que respecta a mí, una de las que más marco mi adolescencia.

One of us, o en español, como uno de nosotros, es una de las más emblemáticas canciones de la cantante estadounidense Joan Osborne, quien supo liderar grandes rankings de la música con su video clip y su canción en las emisoras de radio de varios países.

Breve resumen

One of us, vio la luz en marzo de 1995, a través del álbum Relish, producido por Rick Chertoff. Ese mismo año entró en el 'top 10' de países como Estados Unidos. La canción es el tema principal de la serie de televisión estadounidense Joan de Arcadia. En lo que respecta a letra, la misma tiene un mensaje fuerte a nivel social. Ésta, habla y cuestiona ¿Qué pasaría si dios fuera como uno de nosotros? :"What if God was one of us?, Just a slob like one of us, Just a stranger on the bus, Trying to make his way home" (¿Qué sería si Dios fuese uno de nosotros?, Solo un patán como uno de nosotros, Solo un extraño en el autobús, Intentando hacer su camino a casa).

A nivel personal, puedo decir que es una canción que mueve muchas fibras de mi cuerpo y que deja un mensaje claro y contundente, ya que habla, de dejar la discriminación a un lado, de salir de los dogmas religiosos y aceptar al ser humano tal cual es, con su forma de pensar, actuar, su tendencia, elección sexual, etc.

Espero que les guste esta canción tanto como a mí, y que pueda formar parte de su playlist diaria. Sin mucho más que decir, a disfrutar la rola...

Democratic strategist launches new firm

https://uniteddemocrats.net/?p=7025

Democratic strategist launches new firm

With David Beavers, Garrett Ross and Daniel Lippman

FIRST IN PI — DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST LAUNCHES NEW FIRM: Brandon Neal, who was political director for the Democratic National Committee and director of the Transportation Department’s small business office under former President Barack Obama, will launch his own fundraising, political strategy and lobbying firm Tuesday. Neal was most recently a senior adviser and national political director for Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.).

Story Continued Below

— In an interview with PI, Neal said that the firm, Pylorus Strategies, will focus on political strategy and planning for candidates running for Congress. “Now is the time, now is the space and opportunity,” he told PI. “You don’t see a lot of African-American firms focused on political fundraising and strategy.” Neal plans to work with various arms of the Democratic Party, as well as with celebrities interested in getting involved in the political process. He will also assist small businesses competing for federal contracts and work on transportation, infrastructure, labor workforce development, and small business and economic development issues for clients. He plans to register as a lobbyist.

— So far, Neal’s clients include two members of Congress, an IT firm and a small business providing professional services to the DoD. He is also in talks to work on political strategy and fundraising for House candidates Antonio Delgado, who is running to represent New York’s 19th congressional district, Lauren Underwood, who is running to represent Illinois’ 14th congressional district, and Mary Scanlon, who is running to represent Pennsylvania’s 5th congressional district. He plans to eventually make the firm bipartisan and bring on a partner with experience fundraising for Republicans.

Good afternoon, and welcome to PI. Did you spend the weekend relaxing on the Eastern Shore with a cold drink and a good book? Just remember there are younger, better-looking lobbyists who work weekends nipping at your heels. Send us your tips: [email protected] and [email protected]. You can also follow us on Twitter: @theodoricmeyer and @marianne_levine.

THE LATEST ON MANAFORT’S TRIAL: Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team filed a motion this morning pushing back against a request from Paul Manafort’s lawyers to exclude more than 50 pieces of evidence from the jury during Manafort’s trial, which is set to start on Tuesday. Mueller’s team argues the exhibits are necessary “to prove the source and amount of Manafort’s income.” (Manafort is facing trial on bank fraud and tax charges in federal court in Alexandria. He’s set to go on trial a second time in federal court in Washington in September on other charges, including violating foreign lobbying law.)

— The motion filed this morning provides a good summary of what Mueller’s seeking to do in the trial. Mueller “expects to prove that Manafort earned more than $60 million dollars from his Ukraine work during the period at issue and failed to report a significant percentage of it on his tax returns. … No ‘pay stub[s]’ or ‘paychecks’ reflect that income … rather, the invoices and bills submitted by various consultants provide proof on that issue. Accordingly, to prove that Manafort earned that much income, the government must be able to show the extent of the work that he performed for Ukraine.”

— Separately, Mueller’s team on Friday afternoon “submitted a roster of 35 witnesses the prosecution may call” during the trial set to start on Tuesday, POLITICO’s Josh Gerstein reports. “The deep dive into Manafort’s pricey tastes is expected to include testimony from a proprietor of a New York boutique where he allegedly spent more than $850,000 on high-end suits, an employee of a car dealership where Manafort’s wife bought a $130,000 Mercedes, the owner of a Florida home-theater company and a manager of season-ticket sales for the New York Yankees.” Full story.

SPEAKING OF MANAFORT: The New York Times’ Jason Horowitz is out with a story on how former journalist Alan Friedman put Manafortin jail. “Documents filed last month by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, as part of the investigation into Russia’s influence campaign in the 2016 American presidential election, showed that Mr. Friedman worked closely with Mr. Manafort in creating the so-called Hapsburg Group,” Horowitz writes. “Neither Mr. Manafort nor Mr. Friedman registered as lobbyists, a potential violation of an American law intended as a bulwark against foreign agents peddling influence in American politics. … When the group was revealed in February, Mr. Manafort desperately sought to give Mr. Friedman a ‘heads up about Hapsburg,’ Mr. Friedman’s lawyer has said. That included messages on WhatsApp saying ‘This is Paul.’ Mr. Friedman told investigators that he considered the messages an effort to ‘suborn perjury.’ A judge agreed and in June revoked Mr. Manafort’s bail for witness tampering.

—“Now Mr. Friedman, 62, has gone uncharacteristically silent on the issue even as he travels around Italy promoting his book, ‘This Is Not America,’ which begins with his 2016 interview with Donald J. Trump, then a presidential candidate. Mr. Manafort and his associate Rick Gates had a hand in arranging the interview, which was outside the usual media channels and led campaign aides to question its purpose, according to a person familiar with the issue who was granted anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.” Full story.

LAW FIRMS GIVE RAINMAKERS ACCUSED OF BAD BEHAVIOR MULTIPLE CHANCES: “Law firms stand out in a corporate landscape where rainmakers accused of bad behavior often receive second and third chances, according to interviews with dozens of lawyers, legal recruiters, consultants and leaders at some of the country’s largest firms,” the Wall Street Journal’s Sara Randazzo and Nicole Hong report. “Firms’ sole assets are lawyers and their client relationships. As demand for work from the biggest law firms has softened since the financial crisis, poaching top partners has become one of few ways to boost revenue. Many firms ask about prior complaints in new-hire questionnaires but do nothing to vet the answers, lawyers say. Firms rarely ask partners for references at their old firm, for fear of alerting competitors a star lawyer is in play.

— “Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher partner Jeffrey Reeves departed in December after an investigation into sexual-harassment allegations, the firm said. Mr. Reeves was the partner in charge of the firm’s Orange County, Calif., office in October 2015 when co-workers saw him making out with a junior associate at a Las Vegas nightclub during an office retreat, current and former Gibson lawyers said. … Mr. Reeves, who had worked at Gibson Dunn for 26 years, quickly joined litigation boutique Umberg Zipser in January. The next month he moved to a different boutique, Theodora Oringher.” Full story.

DISPATCH FROM KOCH DONOR RETREAT: “Billionaire industrialist Charles Koch extended an olive branch to Democrats during a weekend donor confab, saying Sunday that he wants to work with lawmakers regardless of party — so long as they work on issues he cares about — and admitting he has regrets about politicians his powerful network supported in the past,” POLITICO’s Maggie Severns reports. “‘I don’t care what initials are in front or after somebody’s name — I’d like there to be many more politicians who would embrace and have the courage to run on a platform’ that embraces the values he espouses, Koch told reporters when asked how he would feel about Democrats flipping the House of Representatives.

— “The Kochs’ political network has been bombarding the 2018 midterm elections with millions of dollars to help Republicans keep their seats in Congress, but the tone of the weekend was a departure from previous years, when the Kochs engineered tea party opposition to Obamacare and positioned themselves as the archnemesis of the Democratic Party. Charles Koch said he has sometimes regretted his network’s financial support for Republican lawmakers in the past and will be more careful with how he spends money going forward.” Full story.

SPOTTED: On Air Force One Sunday, according to a White House pool report, Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union. Schlapp is married to Mercedes Schlapp, White House director of strategic communications.

JOBS REPORT

— Stan Garnett and Greg Brower will co-chair Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck’s government investigations and white collar defense group. They are both shareholders at the firm.

— Patrick Ronk has left Cornerstone Government Affairs, where he was a senior associate. He is headed to the London School of Economics in September for a two-year Master of Public Administration program.

— Michael Fields is now executive director of Colorado Rising Action. He was previously state director for Americans for Prosperity Colorado.

— TJ Chase is a senior associate at Glen Echo Group. He was previously a graphic designer at the Association for Psychological Science.
