The second time I watched Skinamarink, I realized the “I’m a Frizzly, Grizzly Bear” song was the ‘30 equivalent of “I’m a Gummy Bear.”

crazy idea: watching every single Looney Tunes short in chronological order... but skipping all the Merrie Melodies (or vice versa). Especially if one were to continue doing this post-Looney Tunes switching to color and the distinctions between the two series cease.

IT'S FUNNY YOU BRING THIS UP because there was a point in time where i seriously considered tagging/separating my posts by series and was like. no. that would be IMPOSSIBLE TO SEARCH. the LT/MM distinction is so fascinating to me, but especially after the LTs switch to color and thusly reduce ANY difference between the two. i have no idea how they determined which fell into the LT category and which in the MM... i don't think "Bugs should only ever be in the more prestigious Merrie Melodies" was as much of a concern after the switch to color?? i have no idea. something for me to pay attention to as i continue to carve each cartoon inside and out!

all of my top 5 LT cartoons fall into the actual Looney Tunes series... in spite of Daffy Doodles getting a Blue Ribbon reissue and making the universe think it was a Merrie Melody by proxy. that is ANOTHER fascinating phenomenon. so i guess if i were to choose, it'd probably be that.. especially since the LTs used to be reserved for starring characters only, so that takes out the problem of drowning in samey song and dance shorts through the mid '30s. but.. at the same time.. you can't use those song and dance cartoons as an escape from the violent mediocrity that are the Buddy cartoons HAHA

Don McLean - On the Amazon (1972)

"Snarling equinox

Among the rocks

Will seize you

And the Fahrenheit

Comes out at night

To freeze you...

Wild duodenum

Are lurking in the trees

And the jungles swarm

With green apostrophes,

Oh, the Amazon is calling me."

I decided to listen to the song that is basically the only song Wilhelm likes (because he's not interested in listening to any other song) so now we have to listen to this song on loop because we cannot tell him no, he'll get sad.

I do like the song, but I always feel like I'm going to start randomly going "hollari hollari hollarooo" if we keep listening to it.

Johann Sebastian Bach - Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 1700s

The Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565, is a composition for organ by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach and is one of the most widely recognisable works in the organ repertoire. Although the date of its origin is unknown, scholars have suggested between 1704 and the 1750s. The piece opens with a toccata section followed by a fugue that ends in a coda, and is largely typical of the north German organ school of the Baroque era. Little was known about its early existence until the piece was discovered in an undated manuscript produced by Johannes Ringk. It was first published in 1833 during the early Bach Revival period through the efforts of composer Felix Mendelssohn, who also performed the piece in 1840. It was not until the 20th century that its popularity rose above that of other organ compositions by Bach, as exemplified by its inclusion in Walt Disney's 1940 animated film Fantasia that featured Leopold Stokowski's orchestral transcription from 1927.

BWV 565 was used as film music well before the sound film era, becoming a cliché to illustrate horror and villainy. Its first uses in sound film included the 1931 film Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and the 1934 film The Black Cat. The 1950 film Sunset Boulevard used BWV 565 as a joking reference to the horror genre. The 1962 film adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera used BWV 565 in the suspense and horror sense.

Recordings of BWV 565 that have appeared on popular music charts include rockband Sky's 1980 rock-inspired recording (#83 on Billboard Hot 100, #5 on UK Singles Chart) and Vanessa-Mae's 1994 violin recording (#24 on the Billboard charts). Eurodance music act 2 Unlimited's 1994 hit "The Real Thing" uses BWV 565 and, in a list published by Classic FM and PRS for Music, was revealed to be among the best-selling pop singles to incorporate classical music.

Toccata and Fugue D minor, BWV 565 received a total of 94,7% yes votes! 🎉

R.H. Ives Gammell - The Dream of the Shulamite (1934)

This painting is based on Song of Songs 5:7: “The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the wall took away my veil from me.” The work is typical of R.H. Ives Gammell’s academic style. Although the narrative illustrates a Bible text, it also symbolically represents the artist’s concern that ideal beauty has been lost in the modern world. The desire to combine realistic subject matter and symbolic content was at the center of Gammell’s beliefs about art and imbued his approach to teaching. (source)

So I was going through the season taking some screen caps for a different piece of meta when I stumbled on something interesting: the record Aziraphale listens to.

So in 1934, Shostakovich wrote an opera called Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. It was popular but after Stalin himself deemed the work corrupt he wound up banned by the Soviet Union. This had a huge impact of Shostakovich's life and was a very dangerous thing to have happen to you. There are even stories of him sleeping in stairwells to avoid arrest. So by 1937 he released the Symphony No. 5 in D minor. It is a piece written to get him back into the good grace of the authorities and as such it is informally called A Soviet Artist’s Practical and Creative Response to Just Criticism. This worked. Which on the surface makes sense but I urge you to go listen to this song. It starts out very angry. Then retracts itself into a very hesitant sonata. And then the music cuts into a harsh pattern of notes. It's cuts are jarring and there's something just slightly off in nearly all the melodies. Notably, most symphonies shift to a major key by the end. This one, despite spending a great deal of time leading up to the shift into one, refuses to. It's all false triumph. It's all about pretending to folk under the authority's pressure without actually making something that would glorify it. And it worked. Stalin approved of him again.

This was what Az was listening to. Az who is about to make a series of not quite right choices that to the right eyes look like him bowing back again under authority's pressure. He's listening to a song built to deceive those with power over the composer into letting him back into the fold. Whatever Metatron did to him and whether Aziraphale was magically and/or mundanely manipulated (I suspect and) I don't think it entirely took hold.

The thing with Alastor versus Modern Stuff for me specifically comes down to his relationship with music. Because a lot of the jazz and blues artists that WE consider to be among the greats came after his time?

Not even "would he like Frank Sinatra", I mean- Ella Fitzgerald started her career in 1934, just missing Alastor, and she's considered the Queen of Jazz; Al probably died associating that title with Bessie Smith. Did he listen to any songs Louis Armstrong put out post-1933?

To be perfectly honest, I still hold with my original opinion that Alastor isn't actually, like, inherently against modernity. Every time we see him portrayed as such, it's in the context of Vox. He definitely doesn't like television and video, and actively derides those things, but when it comes to other modern advancements... like, yeah, he's not shown owning a cell phone, but at no point is he derisive (or really shown to care at all) of anybody using one. He doesn't even denigrate Angel Dust's "show and tell" of his adult films. We do see Vox calling Alastor outdated and old, but how much of that is an accurate representation of Alastor's genuine perspective on modernity, and how much of it is Vox being a salty bitch that Alastor doesn't like his specific brand of "modernity" and seeing himself as equivalent to progress?

Overall, Alastor strikes me as a guy with some nostalgia for his own era and the classics (which I think is true for most of the characters in hell: I mean, Sir Pentious is still out here flying fucking blimps, and then there's all of Cannibal Town), but not someone who actively eschews modern technology and media. I think he just really fucking doesn't like Vox, who has painted himself as the face of modern tech development in the pentagram and has a monopolistic stranglehold on modern media.

So I think he probably listens to and enjoys a lot of the tunes that came after his death!
