#Dan and Phil tribute song

[nothoughtsonlytrance]

Currently trying to write a melody/lyrics for a Dan and Phil tribute song and no one told me how hard writing lyrics could be! I’m trying to go for punk rock-like style (which isn’t easy to make in GarageBand lol) but here’s what I have of song’s instrumental so far 😂 Hope you like it!

Phil Woods

Woods ( Springfield , Massachusetts , November 2, 1931 - Stroudsbourg, Pennsylvania , September 29, 2015 ) was an American jazz Philip Wells musician , saxophonist alto , and clarinetist ; he has also occasionally played the soprano . He falls into the stylistic current of bebop.

Phil Woods studied music with Lennie Tristano , who has been a major influence on his career, at the Manhattan School of Music and The Juilliard School . His friend Joe Lopes taught him to play the clarinet, as there was no lead saxophone at Juilliard at the time. Although he never copied Charlie Parker , he was known as the "New Bird", a nickname that has also been applied to other musicians such as Sonny Stitt and Cannonball Adderley at one point or another in his careers. He wanted to take the baton from Parker and expressed it like this: “They say that Charlie Parker was God. In that case, I am his messenger ” or “I never get tired of playing Charlie Parker's music, in the same way that no one gets tired of playing Mozart”. His professional career began in 1954 with a brief collaboration with Richard Haynes . He later was engaged by the Charlie Barnet Orchestras and by the Jimmy Raney Quintet . Also in 1954 he recorded his first album under his name and in a quintet for the "New Jazz" label and entitled Phil Woods and New Jazz Quintet . In 1956, he entered Dizzy Gillespie, performing all over the world during the three years he was with him. He then moved on to drummer Buddy Rich's Orchestra band in 1958 and between 1959 and 1961, he played in the Quincy Jones . In 1961, Phil Woods recorded his first album as a quintet with his own compositions, Rights of Swing , for the "Candid" label with the accompaniment of Tommy Flanagan on piano and Curtis Fuller on trombone. In 1962, he participated in the group that accompanied Benny Goodman on a tour in the Soviet Union sponsored by the State Department, of which the album Benny Goodman and his Orchestra in Moscow remains . Phil Woods later performed and recorded in the Thelonious Monk and Oliver Nelson groups , but did not record again as a leader until 1966. He collaborated with a host of jazz musicians throughout his life. His contributions can be highlighted of him on albums by John Lewis ( Orchestra USA ), Sonny Rollins ( Alfie ), Stéphane Grapelli ( Master Sessions, vol. 1 ) and Bill Evans ( Symbiosis ). Or in soundtracks of famous films like El hustler or Blow Up . After going to France in 1968, Woods led The European Rhythm Machine , along with pianist Gordon Beck; Henri Texier, on double bass; and Daniel Humair, on drums, a group that tended towards the jazz avant-garde. He returned to the United States in 1972 and, after a failed attempt to establish an electronic group, he formed a quintet that lasted, with some changes in its members, until 2004. In 1973, after a musical encounter with Michel Legrand , Woods recorded the album Musique du Bois , which is situated in the modern jazz tradition and helps to redirect jazz to its natural channels on the basis of updating the forms of bebop. In 1979, Phil Woods recorded More Live , at the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin, Texas. His best-known work as a sideman has perhaps been Billy Joel's pop song " Just the Way You Are ", in which he plays alto sax. He also played alto sax on Steely Dan's "Doctor Wu", from his well-known and highly praised 1975 album Katy Lied , as well as Paul Simon's 1975 hit Have a Good Time . During his last years he recorded some tributes to fellow musicians such as Thelonious Monk , Our Monk , a selection of his compositions recorded with the Italian pianist Franco D'Andrea. When he was named a Master of Jazz by the US National Endowment for the Arts 5 in 2007, he said: “Jazz will never die. It's music forever, and I like to think that my music is somewhere and will have a duration that may not be forever, but that it can influence others." Although Woods is primarily a saxophonist, he is also a fine clarinet player and his solos are scattered throughout his recordings. A good example is his clarinet solo in Misirlou from the album Into The Woods . Woods was married to Chan Parker, the widow of Charlie Parker, for seventeen years. On the morning of September 29, 2015, great teacher Phil Woods passed away after a long battle with pulmonary emphysema.

I forgot to mention in my tin hat but the actual line is "blessed be your last cigarette", not only implying that Panic! gave Ryan bad luck, but that it was a blessed cigarette, that gave Brendon fortune

and after listening again, the amount of lines that scream, "we got found out" really jumps out to me, because the amount of ryden tin hatting on the internet is a pretty great example of them getting found out.

also, this isn't from the song or anything, but lots of people who care have been saying that vlv is definitely a "tribute to older fans", and only the older fans and the weirdos who researched panic! history would know enough about pre split panic to try to put it together

Idk what it is with Brendon and smoking (not only moabu but songs from twtltrtd) but he needs to stop drinking and smoking so much its showing in his singing. Also the whole good luck to Brendon bad luck to Ryan pissee me off so much. Can he stfu. Also can you believe if we clocked these 2 like we clocked Dan and Phil only this gay internet sensation turned out horrible?

[spooky-stille]

teeny tiny spoilers about the new album ∆

Give Me The Future is a tribute to humanity in a tech age and reflects on the strangeness of living through times that can feel like science fiction. Exploring both the opportunities of new technology and the dark side of lives lived online, it’s as playful and fun as it is thought-provoking, as dystopian as it is dancefloor-friendly, and as electronic as Bastille have ever been.

Eerily, songwriter Dan Smith came up with the idea pre-pandemic. The album was already underway and the band on hiatus from touring when the world shut down, forcing interaction solely through screens.

“Working on these songs in such an apocalyptic period, with everyone stuck at home, glued to screens, fed into the feeling that what is real and what is not has become pretty difficult to discern sometimes,” says Dan. “We’re in the age of deep fake, fake news and lying world leaders. But online, you can be anyone. What that does to our sense of self and to our relationships is huge, and it’s fascinating.”

Give Me The Future takes us into a sci-fi wonderland free from restrictions – each song a different danceable dreamscape, a place where you can travel back and forward in time to be anyone, do anything, and embrace a new wave of technology, which enables us to get lost inside our imagination. The album is laced with references to the world of science fiction film and literature, video games and VR.

It’s a record that takes the idea of the limitless possibilities of the future and journeys everywhere from a joyride of escapism on the uplifting “Thelma + Louise” – a tribute to the iconic feminist film on its 20th anniversary, to 80’s New York with the artist Keith Haring on the bright and whistling “Club 57”, to a hospital bed in Australia for the devastating but hopeful new single, “No Bad Days”. Co-directed for the first time by Smith, the music video for “No Bad Days” is set in a futuristic laboratory and sees Dan playing a character using technology to try and resurrect a lost loved one. Nodding to the classic science fiction of Metropolis, Ex Machina, and The Matrix, the video paints an emotional and intimate story—watch HERE.

“It’s really satisfying to have finally directed, and I’m really proud of the little film we made. I grew up with film as my main obsession, so this was a bit of a dream. I learned a shitload, and it was good to be challenged in a new way.”

You’ll hear disco basslines, orchestras of synths, guitars, futuristic gospel, spaceship sounds, euphoric strings, vocoders, talk boxes, a choir of roadies, and host of beats. The title track, “Give Me The Future” tips its hat to Phil Collins and The Police, “Shut Off The Lights” is a sonic love letter to Paul Simon’s Graceland, and “Stay Awake” nods to Daft Punk and Quincy Jones.

Having thrown themselves into co-writing for other artists in recent years, for the first time ever on a Bastille album, the band inched open the door to collaborators. Although primarily produced by Dan Smith and long-term production partner Mark Crew, the band also worked with a handful of writers and producers to expand the world. “Distorted Light Beam” was co-written and produced with Ryan Tedder (Adele, Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift), who also helped as a sounding board and executive producer for the album. “Thelma + Louise,” “Stay Awake,” and “Back To The Future” were co-written with legendary songwriter Rami Yacoub (Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time”, Lady Gaga’s Chromatica Album). They also worked with British writers Jonny Coffer, Plested, and Dan Priddy to bring the album to life.

You’ll also hear the voice of award-winning actor, musician, writer, creator, producer, director, and activist Riz Ahmed on a spell-binding and evocative spoken word piece called “Promises.” Riz’s piece was a response the album and brings its overarching themes into sharp focus.

Over the course of their previous three albums, Bastille have cemented a reputation for building whole worlds around their releases, often doing so with innovative, award-winning creativity. Give Me The Future is no different, this time accompanied by a fictional, but familiar, tech giant called Future Inc., the creators of an invention called “Futurescape”—a device which allows users to live out their dreams virtually. It’s weaved through every element of the campaign and can be seen in the videos for all three singles— “Distorted Light Beam,” “Thelma & Louise,” and “No Bad Days.” Watch Bastille talk about the inspiration behind Future Inc. HERE.

Sonically diverse and thematically adventurous, Bastille’s fourth album, Give Me The Future   pushes the band into exciting new frontiers. The record serves as less of a judgement on modern life, more a reflection on where we are and perhaps where things could be, “I’m just observing the truly weird times we’re living in and having fun responding to it through these songs,” Dan says. “As the final track “Who Knows What the Future Holds… Don’t Matter If I Got You” says, this is happening, whether we like it or not. Finding happiness in the moment is surely the aim, whether it’s in the real or virtual world.”

The world is about to change with Biden and Harris in office. It is great to have Harris in there. More women in power is so important. Women don’t think with their dicks. I mean, a pussy likes to fuck just as much but we can also get some work done. Men are rarely as good at multitasking.  The inauguration went off with high security after the Trump insurrection. 5 were killed as the traitors stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 but Biden still became the President on the 20th. Hooray for Pastor Raphael Warnock and Jon Osoff in Georgia for taking the Senate. We are off to an interesting start with Merrick Garland nominated for AG.** Janet Yellen is the 78th US Treasury secretary and the first woman!**John Kerry is the envoy for climate and Pete Buttigieg is up for secretary of transportation. ** Biden reversed the ban on transgender troops, stopped the Muslim ban and signed many other executive orders.

Some last headlines and thoughts and facts about the end of the worst Presidency in our history. Let’s hope this is the last of the news about the Traitor in chief except for paying for his crimes. Unity does not mean there are no consequences for criminals. Make no mistake Trump and some of his followers are criminals. **Here are a few things I ran across: Vanilla Ice played Mar A Lago for NY Eve.** After the riot many rats started to jump ship like Elaine Chao, Hope Hicks and Betsy Devos. The American Federation of Teachers reaction to Betsy Devos resignation: “Good Riddance.”** Mo Brooks had told the crowd, “Take names and kick ass.” Plans for a Sen. Hawley book were scrapped.** Adam Kinzinger of Illinois was one of the first to call for the 25th amendment that never happened.** People are trying to get to the bottom of the Riot with questions like, “Who paid for the buses?” ** These types of people are the reason we can’t have nice things. **  Scary Clown is off Twitter for good. Funny how it took Senators, companies and voters so long, 2 weeks before he leaves office to make him a pariah. Trump was too dangerous for twitter but not for the nuclear codes?? ** To anyone complaining about a private media co. kicking Trump off their platform: Think of twitter as a Christian bakery and Trump as a wedding cake. _William Cusack**The riot proved that blue lives really don’t matter to them.** U.S. rep for Colorado Lauren Boebert was given $70,500 by Ted Cruz just as he asked for a probe into Netflix. Her husband, Jayson was arrested for exposing himself to a minor and for domestic abuse.** Trump was impeached again.** “Republican colleagues broke down in tears saying that Republicans are afraid for their lives if they vote for this impeachment.- Congressman Jason Crow.** Mike Pompeo cancelled his European trip after Luxemburg’s foreign minister and top European union officials declined to meet him.**232 was the number of votes to impeach him and the number of electoral vote in his loss to Biden.**Trump’s interior secretary had his own flag** Trumps EPA guy made super- secret phone calls in his own phone booth and had 24 hour security.** Toby Keith and Ricky Scaggs received the National medal of arts. ** The Supreme Court tossed out a lawsuit claiming that Trump violated the emoluments clause. ** Dominion voting systems sued Rudy.** Trumps impeachment lawyers, Butch Bowers and Deb Barbier quit. Word is that they refused to say the election was stolen. The new team seems to include Bruce Castor who would not prosecute Bill Cosby and Epstein’s would be lawyer David Schoen. That sounds about right.

“would phil hate dan to save the world” timestamps

:33 - Dan talks about being shamed for their answers. :43 - Q1 for Dan: fridge/favorite food but taste change when you eat it. (Phil's nifty loophole that I'm pretty sure is not what the question was meant to be. 1:44 - Phil is scared he's gonna end up on a spinning rotisserie, but says he'd taste good. (Dan: I dunno. Bit sugary.) 2:20 - Q1 for Phil: he can see the future, but he'll be blind. 2:40 - The tribute people make to Phil would be tangfastics. 3:02 - When he walks by a tree branch he's afraid one will go in his eye. 3:28 - He wants eyes, and doesn't want to know the future because he'd obsess over when he was going to die. 3:51 - Q2 for Dan: He becomes a secret agent, but there's someone he can't say. 4:00 - Phil mentions telling Dan about the bird that fell in love with the concrete bird. ("Dan almost cried!") 4:34 - "It's not like you can save everyone or do the right thing all the time." Some realism from Phil. 4:58 - Dan says, "Like that nightmare where you're holding a puppy and you keep dropping it." and Phil responds, "Don't remind me of that nightmare." Was Dan being figurative or was that a real nightmare Phil had? Bc if so, wow, traumatic. 5:02 - Phil telling Dan he can't be a secret agent because he'd have to wake up early. Wow, drag him. (Out of bed, apparently.) 5:17 - Dan calls Phil a cow, and Phil's reaction is so cute - apparently 'cow' catches him off guard and makes him laugh, makes me think that's not one Dan uses often. 5:20 Q2 for Phil: Things you think about that you want come true, but things you think about that you don't want also come true. 5:47 - Strong no from Phil. "I'm always into the worst case scenario." Talks about going through death scenarios in his head. Dan gets a weird quiet expression here while Phil is talking that's interesting. 6:13 - "Phil's intrusive thoughts." sitcom theme tune from Dan. 6:32 - Q3 for Dan: You can do anything possible and impossible, but have no friends. 6:51 - They win my heart with the Jupiter Ascending reference. 6:47 - They suddenly notice a blue wire in the ceiling. 7:42 - Q3 for Phil: Unlimited wealth, but can only spend it on others. Dan immediately drags Phil for his capitalistic tendencies. 7:48 - Phil has an Abba moment he needs to release. 8:07 - Dan's fond but also slightly mocking grin when Phil says "That's fine!" about only being able to spend money on other people and not himself, followed by that massive knowing grin... ugh it's fine I'm fine I hate them but I'm fine. 8:17 - capita£ester loophole: he will give dan four billion pounds, dan will give him back three. capita£ester prevails and also caters to sugar baby dan with that billion he gets to keep. (also, wow. to be so rich that you skip past millions - since you already have that - and go straight to billions when imagining wealth.) 8:32 - Q4 for Dan: Immortal, but don't stop aging. 8:53 - Phil's My Humps remix. 9:04 - Jumpcut, then Dan serenades Phil with the wil.i.am verse of the song. Some intense eye contact, which Phil briefly looks away from then looks back toward. 9:44 - Jesus themed My Humps. 9:57 - Q5 for Dan: You get a pokemon, but you lose your left leg. (Did they edit out a Phil question? Or just lose track while playing?) 10:22 - Phil is very eager with the buzz saw. Says that he gets to chop it off. 10:40 - Phil says "hit me" and Dan hits him, followed by cute karate chopping and high pitched noises, because they are weird. I don't know if you guys noticed this. But they are weird. 10:50 - Q4 for Phil: You don't need to sleep, but breathing is manual. 10:52 - Phil trolling Dan with the sound "barri... ear." 11:20 - Weird "things Phil gets up to in his spare time" "at night" thing. 11:38 - Q6 for Dan: oak arms, seagull legs. Phil is very amused by that conversation, requests photoshop. 12:36 - Dan shows off his GOT pajamas. 12:47 - Phil's mind immediately goes to Dan being a camboy with his seagull flipper feet. 13:01 - Q5 for Phil: Superhero powers, but loved ones are super villains. 13:17 - Phil likes Spiderman, doesn't want to be Spiderman. Dan starts eliminating options in an obvious bid to make Phil say Captain America. (First he tells Phil to think about his favorite and not the powers to make sure he doesn't say Spiderman, then he says just Marvel not DC, then when Phil says Thor Dan's response is, "You're just thinking about your favorite." dismissively as though he didn't literally just tell Phil to think about his favorite and not the powers.) 13:44 - "Phil just wants to be a God." blasphemy, Dan. He already is. 14:00 - Dan would become Bucky if Phil was Captain America. Phil says Dan would be Loki, which Dan rejects on the grounds incest....ual shipping. 14:21 - Phil with the buzz saw again. Dan calls the game on basis of being scared for his life since Phil wants to cut all his limbs off.

December 12 

Take a Step Back – 7/12/87 – Giants Stadium • East Rutherford, NJ 

Band Intro > Bertha – 10/19/71 – Northrop Auditorium, U. of Minn. •  Minneapolis, MN

Beat It On Down The Line – 10/27/73 – Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum • Indianapolis, IN

One More Saturday Night – 2/17/79 – Oakland Coliseum • Oakland, CA

In the 1984 mockumentary, “This is Spinal Tap,” one of the things the band is famous for is having a long roster of deceased drummers. It’s a macabre joke in the film, but in real life a similar level of tragedy befell the keyboard players of The Grateful Dead.

Over the past two days we paid tribute to Brent Mydland and followed the transition to Vince Welnick, who, by the way, also died. Today, we recognize the passing of Keith Godchaux who died 30 years ago in a car accident. Here’s where things get a little strange. Keith Godchaux died on July 23, 1980. Brent Mydland, who was Keith’s replacement, played his last show on July 23, 1990 – exactly 10 years to the day of Keith’s death. When you take that into consideration, the similarities between Spinal Tap’s drummers and the Grateful Dead’s keyboard players go to the next level of bizarre. 

I gave Keith the same treatment as Brent by featuring the first and last song he played with the Dead along with a song that showcases his talent, but did you know that the three songs I selected have relevance beyond a memorial tribute? 

“Bertha” and “Beat it on Down the Line” provide us with a reference to another strange event that happened in 2020 – the announcement that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry wanted to “step back” from their royal duties. 

I had to move. Really had to move

Well this job I’ve got is just a little too hard

Also, this particular version of “Beat it on Down the Line” has a unique twist with the number of beats to start. Sometimes the band started “BIODTL” with a symbolic number of beats. For example, they once played 42 beats for Mickey Hart’s 42nd birthday (9/11/85). More often, however, the number of beats would correspond with the day of the month (i.e., 11 beats on 4/11/82).Here, without any apparent rhyme or reason, they count in 28 beats on 10/27/73 which is perfectly suited for this year’s playlist.

Finally, the last song that Keith Godchaux played with the Grateful Dead just happens to provide us with our obligatory “One More Saturday Night” so that we can properly recognize what day it is today. 

There it is, all tied up neatly with a bow.

D.B. Cooper in Pop Culture: 15 Best Movie and TV Moments

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

On November 24, 1971, a man calling himself Dan Cooper hijacked Northwest Orient Airlines flight 305 from Portland to Seattle (a trip known as a “milk run” due to the short distance involved). A few minutes into the voyage, he got the attention of a flight attendant and made it known that he had a bomb that he intended to use unless his demands were met. What did he want? $200,000 in unmarked bills and four parachutes.

After the plane was on the ground in Seattle, the passengers were let go, the plane was refueled, and Cooper was granted his money and chutes. He instructed the pilot to head towards Mexico City, making it clear that the wing flaps were to remain at 15 degrees and landing gear to stay deployed, the cabin remain depressurized, and that the craft was not to exceed an altitude of 10,000 feet.

Some time after the trip to Mexico City began, he strapped the cash to himself, put on a parachute, and exited the aircraft in flight via the aft staircase. He was never seen again.

It was a bold and brazen move that instantly captivated the world’s imagination. In the confused rush to get the story out there, the skyjacker was misidentified as D.B. Cooper, and the false name stuck. Suddenly everyone was transfixed by the Cooper story. Who was he? Did he survive the jump? Why did he do it? These unanswered questions only served to build up Cooper’s mystique and his legend grew exponentially.

To this day, no one really knows who D.B. Cooper was or what became of him. Other than some of the money being discovered by a kid who was building a campfire along the Columbia River in 1980, there have been no verifiable leads in the case. In 2016, the FBI closed the case. D.B. Cooper had committed the perfect crime, and gotten away with it.

And still, people continue to obsess about the enigmatic, and, by some accounts, charming skyjacker.

Because his crime didn’t harm anyone, D.B. Cooper became an instant folk hero. He was a living representation of the “sticking it to the man” ethos of the era. And before you knew it, a pop culture phenomenon – one that continues to this day – was born. Cooper has been the focus of countless books, a few movies (including the Seth Green comedy Without a Paddle), songs, and has impacted the general consciousness in unexpected ways. (David Lynch and Mark Frost were rumored to be inspired by the skyjacker when naming Agent Dale Bartholomew Cooper on Twin Peaks).

These are the most memorable ways he impacted pop culture. Let’s take a look.

The Mystery of D.B. Cooper

Almost 50 years on and we still have no idea who D.B. Cooper was and what his motives were. Or do we? HBO Max’s The Mystery of D.B. Cooper, an in-depth documentary that aims to be the definitive word on this true-crime saga.

You can read our review of The Mystery of D.B. Cooper here.

In Search Of…

One of the earliest, and still the greatest, examination of the Cooper case is a 1979 installment of Leonard Nimoy’s cheesy/sublime 1979 investigational series In Search Of… 

Over the course of 22 odd minutes, a delightfully porn-stached Nimoy runs through the particulars of the case. Complete with ominous re-enactments and insights from FBI agent Ralph Himmelsbach (whose obsession with the solving the case would eventually reach Captain Ahab proportions), this episode is the perfect starting point for aspiring Cooperphiles.

The Pursuit of D.B. Cooper

Due to the strong intrigue surrounding the Cooper skyjacking, it was only a matter of time before Hollywood tried to profit off of the crime. Thus in 1981, The Pursuit of D.B. Cooper hit theaters. The film starred Treat Williams, a slumming Robert Duvall, and the late, great Paul Gleason.

Loosely inspired by J.D. Reed’s novel Free Fall, the popcorn flick aimed more at entertaining audiences than actually delving into the hardcore mystery surrounding the man and his confounding actions. As such, the finished project is an amiable adventure that owes more to The Dukes of Hazzard and Smokey and the Bandit-type diversions than actual history.

HA HA HA

In 1983, interest in all things D.B. Cooper had already waned. Yet despite this, Signum Books LTD. published this purported autobiography that suggests that Cooper is just as good at spinning a wild yarn as he is jumping out of airplanes and ripping off the government.

The most interesting aspect of this novel is how it was also a contest. Readers could unravel clues hidden in the book to win $200,000 of their own. We have no idea if anyone ever made good of this offer, but this form of interactive fiction could be seen as a precursor to similiar and more mainstream literary experiments like J.J. Abrams and Doug Dorst’s S.

Prison Break

Before it broke our hearts by downfalling into mediocrity, Prison Break was one of the most engaging Fox shows of its time. One thing that bugs us though? Somehow we never pictured Cooper — portrayed in the series by character actor great Muse Watson — as a cat owner.

Skyjack

In 2012, CBS Films optioned the rights to journalist Geoffrey Gray’s Skyjack. Sadly, that project is currently residing in development hell, which is especially upsetting because Gray’s thoughtful analysis of the case and its obsessive, often damaged main players could be the next Argo. It’s a strange and joyous read.

Do Gray’s new leads result in finally identifying Cooper? That would be telling. Plus, as with many things in life, it’s not so much the destination as the strange odyssey that is undertaken along the way that is key.

NewsRadio

The fifth and final season of Newsradio obviously suffered from the creative energy that was lost following the senseless murder of Phil Hartman. However it began to gain some serious steam with a three-part story arc in which it was revealed that Jimmy James (the peerless Stephen Root) might actually be D.B. Cooper. As fun as this all was, nothing could prepare viewers for the joyous shock that came from the revelation that Cooper was, in fact, Adam West.

Journeyman

Journeyman, we still miss you so. NBC’s 2007 time-travel drama starred Kevin McKidd as a successful reporter, recovering gambling addict, and family man who began mysteriously travelling back in time. Because his adventures often resulted in him putting right what once went wrong, the Quantum Leap comparisons never stopped. But Journeyman was so much more than just an adventure of the week story. You see, when McKidd’s character went back in time, the present kept on going, meaning that he could return hours, days or weeks after he mysteriously vanished. This ramped up the domestic and career drama greatly in a way that Sam Beckett’s “oh boy”-worthy exploits could only dream of.

Five episodes in, the installment “The Legend of Dylan McCleen” was a quick exploration of the Cooper mythos, with the name changed to protect the guilty, apparently. As if we didn’t love it enough already, they had to go and bring Cooper into the mix. Why was this show cancelled again?

1971 CBS News Report

When word of Cooper’s skyjacking first hit the media, the news was so audacious that it became a national obsession (and still is, to be honest). Above you see CBS News’ original report about the Cooper case. Join Walter Cronkite and Bill Kurtis for their coverage of this history-making event.

Bigfoot vs. D.B. Cooper

Full disclosure: We’ve never seen this low-budget flick that looks like the next big SyFy sweeps event. But D.B. Cooper and Bigfoot? Together? That’s gotta be a recipe for entertainment, right?

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Skyjacked

While based more on the rash of skyjackings that plagued American skies in the early 1970s than Cooper’s specifically, the 1972 proto-disaster film Skyjacked was clearly impacted by the folk hero’s actions. With stars like Charlton Heston, James Brolin, Rosie Grier, and TV’s Spider-Man, Nicholas Hammond, the film is a tense thriller about a skyjacker who seeks to divert a passenger plane to Alaska. As the terrorist is revealed to be a traumatized Vietnam War veteran, his actions lead to an international incident — resulting in a conclusion that remains gripping to this day.

Everything Is Fine, “Vapor Trails and Light”

In 2005, murky shoegazers Everything Is Fine released their album Ghosts Are Knocking on Walls, a guitar-drenched affair that featured two tracks inspired by Cooper’s antics.

While “D.B. Cooper” was a reverb-heavy instrumental imagining of what the skyjacker’s leap into history might have emotionally felt like, “Vapor Trails and Light” explored the mindset of the plane’s occupants. “You hijack the flight and disappear into the night,” sings vocalist Marc Manning in a delicate growl before adding “vapor trails and light, all we see tonight but it’s all right.”–-indicating that ultimately D.B.’s antics were the sort of victimless crime that resulted in his folk icon status. It’s a fantastic song that brings to mind the works of Slowdive and This Mortal Coil. In other words, essential listening for the 120 Minutes crowd.

Dan Cooper Comics

In the 1950s, France’s Dan Cooper comics chronicled the exploits of the titular Royal Canadian Air Force pilot. Since the skyjacker identified himself to the flight crew as Dan Cooper, it has been speculated that he borrowed his false identity from these comics…something that seems more than plausible given the similarities between both Coopers. The only problem is that the Dan Cooper stories were unknown to Americans in 1971, adding another speculative wrinkle to an already fascinating case.

The Far Side

Gary Larson’s seminal comic strip The Far Side once speculated on Cooper’s final fate. It may not be pretty for him, but it sure is funny.

Todd Snider, “D.B. Cooper”

Folk-twinged alt-country singer/songwriter Todd Snider paid a musical tribute to Cooper on his 2000 album Happy to Be Here, which speculates that D.B. did in fact survive his leap, and celebrated with a champagne toast. “I hope they never see D.B. Cooper again,” Snider croons, echoing the sentiments of those who yearn for this case never to be solved. After all, history needs its mysteries…

Nick’s Favourite Music of 2017

I’ve always been someone that tries to accentuate the positive, so let me get this bold take out of the way:

2017 was bad, and best summed up by the phrase “Further complications”.

...But the music, films, TV and games of the past twelve months have been (on the whole) great, so we just about made it through.

If anything, there might have been too much good stuff. This is the first year in a while where I’ve not only struggled to pick out my favourites from earlier months, but have also had to navigate a massive backlog of acclaimed music that I’d missed. The scheduling of certain releases didn’t help. I have four bands in my life that hold a drop-everything status when they release a new record (LCD, War on Drugs, The National, QOTSA), and they all unleashed new albums within a week of each other. It gets exhausting!

As always, I’ve waited until the year is truly over before finalising my top 20 tracks of the year, because you never know when something extraordinary might suddenly pop out in the middle of December (and it frequently does). I’ll be posting about one song each day. Previous entries can be found easily using the tag “best-of-20xx”, going all the way back to 2010 (I always surprise myself every year by being reminded that this blog is that old).

First, though, some honorable mentions for tracks and albums that didn’t quite make the cut, but still mean a lot to me:

Cloud Nothings – “Modern Act”

ME: Oop! There’s a new Cloud Nothings album. Time to check in and see if Dylan Baldi has come up with a third entry in the ‘Choruses That Nick Relates to Way Too Much’ series, following “I need time to stop moving” and “I’m not you, you’re a part of me”.

DYLAN: “I want a life, that's all I need lately. I am alive but all alone”

ME: *sobbing uncontrollably* …Nice.

Coldplay – “All I Can Think About Is You”

This is a strange one that I rediscovered towards the end of the year, and haven’t been able to stop thinking about. It’s the sound of Coldplay making a conscious effort to return to the quieter, less-poppy style of their early work, but remembering that those records still had a sense of fun that was lacking in Ghost Stories.

Craig Finn – “God in Chicago”

Craig Finn (also of The Hold Steady) has always presented himself as more of a storyteller than a songwriter (although, as the incredible Boys and Girls in America proves, he’s brilliant at both), and his most recent solo album really pushed further into that territory. “God in Chicago” in particular is a stark contrast to the boisterous bar anthems that Craig’s other band is famous for, but still shows him operating at the peak of his powers.

Frank Ocean – “Chanel”

It took some time to adjust to the idea that, since returning after four years of silence, Frank Ocean doesn’t seem to be retreating out of the spotlight again. That’s fine by me. I’d listen to this guy sing the phonebook. Frank seems happy to be publicly experimenting with his sound right now, releasing new songs every few months via his radio show. “Chanel” was the first of these, and was a refreshing, almost stream-of-consciousness change of pace when compared to the precise songwriting that we heard on blonde. It also just happens to be the best song Drake’s never made.

Vince Staples – “BagBak”

Googles: "big fish theory" yeezus “About 18,200 results”

I’ve got nothing to add, really. “BagBak” bangs. I’m happy to hear Vince trying out new shit.

King Krule – The OOZ

I really struggled to formulate any solid thoughts about The OOZ, other than it is very good. What do you even call this type of music? Doom jazz? Extreme chillout? The album is like the sonic equivalent of a heavy night spent consuming every depressant imaginable, or a Morphine record that melted. …And, in writing that, I might have cracked it. It sounds like how we’ve all been writing about 2017 for the last few months! Time will be very kind to it, I suspect.

Mount Eerie – A Crow Looked at Me

Absolutely brilliant and almost impossible to recommend, A Crow Looked at Me is an earnest document of the passing of Phil Elverum’s wife, Geneviève, and an unflinching portrait of how death really affects the people someone’s absence leaves behind. Musically, it’s a stripped-down as a record can possibly be, and requires an empathetic frame of mind from the listener. But it’s incredibly rewarding for those that take the time to engage with it.

Slowdive – Slowdive

Very few things in this world make me happier than bands reuniting after long breaks and releasing an album that stands up with their very best work. I’ll be talking about this in more detail later on in the month, but it’s worth bringing up in relation to the already-legendary shoegaze band Slowdive. Twenty. Two. Years. And it didn’t dull their senses one iota.

Alec Holowka – “Home Again”

Night in the Woods is the game I wish I’d had when I was 18. At its core, it’s a game that stresses the importance of talking to and learning about the people in your life, and considering how we all bump into each other throughout our long-ass lives. In between hanging out with old friends, it perfectly captures that intangible sense of malaise you get when you’re forced to take stock of your life so far and end up wondering just what the fuck you even want to achieve now. This dissonance is present in the game’s soundtrack too, composed by developer Alec Holowka. “Home Again”, as the title suggests, plays while your character is back in her childhood home, returning abruptly from college. It’s got a very warm sound, hazy and swirly in a way that provokes a mental image of familiar dusty furniture being bathed in a sunbeam through your window. And then, after two bars at around :30, a minor chord is introduced, giving the progression a sad, almost disappointed feel. You’re back…but why? Is everything okay? It’s equal parts comforting and concerned, the lone piano shifting into a more confident melody at 1:30 while the moody synths hold back briefly. It’s the sound of a worried parent calmly asking you some tough questions.

Dan Salvato – “I Still Love You”

I’ve previously gone on-the-record about how Doki Doki Literature Club completely wrecked my shit, as have many people who’ve played it, but I think the game deserves some recognition for being as much a loving tribute to dating sim games as it is savage deconstruction. This is something that’s highlighted by the game’s soundtrack (composed by writer/designer/way-too-talented person Dan Salvato), full of bright, breezy pieces that would sound right at home in any number of these games, on-the-nose emotionally and completely earnest in presentation (bum notes and all). And then, as you might be aware, things get weird. But, crucially, the music does not. Rather than composing new pieces to supplement the new tone, we simply hear the old ones again (albeit ever-so-slightly warped in places). This adds to that false sense of security. “Everything’s fine”, the game tells us, lying through its teeth. By the time the façade drops completely, the music is gone, replaced by an atmospheric soundscape. “I Still Love You”, which plays over the climactic scene, is a blend of the two extremes we’ve heard so far: the emptiness of the soundscape morphing itself into an actual melody, accompanied by a lone piano still hitting the perky beats from the earlier tracks. It’s a perfect representation of everything the game does so well when it comes to managing tone and player expectation, and a great and relaxing piece in its own right.

John Williams – “Canto Bight”

In which John Williams finally composes a proper follow-up to “Cantina Band”. I joked last week that you could make a playlist consisting of nothing but this track repeated hundreds of times, and end up with the perfect soundtrack for any party. It’s funny because it’s true. In less than three minutes, Williams segues from traditional film score bombast to an exciting cocktail of Dixieland jazz, Cuban salsa and 12-bar blues. Separated from the scene it soundtracks, it’s a piece that constantly keeps you on your toes, and a perfect example of why the general weirdness of The Last Jedi was one of the most exciting things about it.

That’s it for now. Tomorrow we’ll start with the list proper. Until then!

My Favorite Album #227 - Elizabeth Cook on Neil Young ‘Zuma’ (1975)

Sharp of tongue and deep of soul, one of Nashville’s most compelling singer-songwriters joins me to talk about an underrated Neil Young and Crazy Horse classic, ‘Zuma’.

We talk about how Elizabeth discovered the album on a road trip, the elusive concision of Young’s lyrics, how this record defines a certain version of his sound, how the album documents the end of Neil Young’s creative grieving over guitarist Danny Whitten, how Elizabeth wants to steer her future recordings in a Neil-ward direction and what it was like to be a witness to the taping of the ‘Heart of Gold’ concert film.

Nana- Phan AU Oneshot

Here have a dumb, sad one shot I wrote forever ago

~This one is based off of the song "Nana" by The 1975. It's an AU featuring a Musician! Dan. Enjoy!~ I wish you'd walk in again Imagine if you just did I'd fill you in on the things you missed I sit on the sofa, watching a movie, thinking about you again. It's been a year today, but the pain hasn't gone away- the burning pain has only faded into a dull ache that I'm used to living with. I think about my life over the past year, and everything that has happened. How my music career has taken off, and I'm on the verge of a record deal. You'd be so proud. I wish you would just walk in the flat, yelling that it was just a prank, that you were alive. That it was like Sherlock, that you faked it all. The anger I would feel that it was a cruel prank would be nothing compared to the joy of seeing you again. I think I would yell, I'd say, "What the hell is wrong with you, Phil?" Then I'd cry, and hold you close. "Don't ever, ever, ever do anything like that again." I would say. Then I would laugh and say, "You really got me Phil, you little shit." I don't like it, now you're dead It's not the same when I scratch my own head I haven't got the nails for it And I know that God doesn't exist And all of the palaver surrounding it But I like to think you hear me sometimes The thought that you, my lion, my happy little Phil, is dead is the worst thought. Nothing's the same anymore, without you. Waking up isn't the same, because I know that I won't wake up to you. Making meals isn't the same, because I only have to cook for one now. Showering isn't the same, because I no longer hear you yelling at me to hurry up, or getting frustrated that I used half of the shower gel. Cleaning isn't the same, because I don't have to clean up the messes you made. God, I even miss cleaning up the coffee you always left on the counter. I've never really believed in God, or an afterlife, but I still talk to you, thinking that maybe you're floating around somewhere, and you can hear me. It's a nice thought, in this dark cloud I live in. Always trying to keep warm, when you're the sun Science shows us that if there was no sun, the Earth would would be cold and barren, with no life. You were my sun. I am the Earth. I sat with you beside your bed and cried For things that I wish I'd said I held your hand as you sunk into unconsciousness. I was angry at the idiot who was drunk driving, who hit the taxi you were riding in. But most of all, I was upset because my sun was losing his light. When I heard the steady beep of the heart monitor, telling me that your heart was no longer beating, I allowed myself to lose control of my emotions. I cried. I wailed. I held your lifeless hand to my face, wishing your fingers would interlock with my own. There were so many things I wish I would have said. You knew I loved you, but I wish I could have expressed to you how much I truly loved you. All of the things I never said. The things I will never get the chance to say. I got my pen and thought that I'd write A melody and line for you tonight I think that's how I make things feel alright So tonight, on the one year mark of your passing, I write a new song. About the short life we got together. About how you're gone now. I think it makes things better, writing about it. Writing music, it's always been how I get out my emotions. Made in my room, this simple tune Will always keep me close to you The crowds will sing their voices ring And it's like you never left And now, months later, this song, it's what got me where I am. The record deal, it was sealed when they heard this song about you. I always knew you would help me reach my dreams. It strange to think, this simple song that I wrote in my pain is what changed it all. There's something special, playing it at shows. Hundreds, thousands of people singing along. I think you would be proud. It's my tribute to you, Phil. So. Thank you.
