Darla Records should not be seen as one of those labels for wannabe radicals that get a lot of press. No, some in there are quite audacious, though the format of my posts doesn't really offer us more insight than that. However, allow me to introduce you to Japancakes, another Darla Records band. They were mad enough to cover the entirety of Loveless by My Bloody Valentine. This is not a joke, they actually went to a studio, though they did something intriguing, i.e. Japancakes' soundscapes are different from My Bloody Valentine, so they changed the record. For better? Let us set aside this debate, let me just say they did put the tunes in the venues Shields & the rest didn't even plan to reach – should this be seen as the best way to remake an LP?

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

January 27, 2024

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

On January 27, 1838, Abraham Lincoln rose before the Young Men’s Lyceum in Springfield, Illinois, to make a speech. Just 28 years old, Lincoln had begun to practice law and had political ambitions. But he was worried that his generation might not preserve the republic that the founders had handed to it for transmission to yet another generation. He took as his topic for that January evening, “The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions.”

Lincoln saw trouble coming, but not from a foreign power, as other countries feared. The destruction of the United States, he warned, could come only from within. “If destruction be our lot,” he said, “we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”

The trouble Lincoln perceived stemmed from the growing lawlessness in the country as men ignored the rule of law and acted on their passions, imposing their will on their neighbors through violence. He pointed specifically to two recent events: the 1836 lynching of free Black man Francis McIntosh in St. Louis, Missouri, and the 1837 murder of white abolitionist editor Elijah P. Lovejoy by a proslavery mob in Alton, Illinois. 

But the problem of lawlessness was not limited to individual instances, he said. A public practice of ignoring the law eventually broke down all the guardrails designed to protect individuals, while lawbreakers, going unpunished, became convinced they were entitled to act without restraint. “Having ever regarded Government as their deadliest bane,” Lincoln said, “they make a jubilee of the suspension of its operations; and pray for nothing so much as its total annihilation.”

The only way to guard against such destruction, LIncoln said, was to protect the rule of law on which the country was founded. “As the patriots of seventy-six did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the Constitution and Laws, let every American pledge his life, his property, and his sacred honor…. Let reverence for the laws…become the political religion of the nation; and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay, of all sexes and tongues, and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars.” 

Lincoln was quick to clarify that he was not saying all laws were good. Indeed, he said, bad laws should be challenged and repealed. But the underlying structure of the rule of law, based in the Constitution, could not be abandoned without losing democracy. 

Lincoln didn’t stop there. He warned that the very success of the American republic threatened its continuation. “[M]en of ambition and talents” could no longer make their name by building the nation—that glory had already been won. Their ambition could not be served simply by preserving what those before them had created, so they would achieve distinction through destruction. 

For such a man, Lincoln said, “Distinction will be his paramount object, and although he would as willingly, perhaps more so, acquire it by doing good as harm; yet, that opportunity being past, and nothing left to be done in the way of building up, he would set boldly to the task of pulling down.” With no dangerous foreign power to turn people’s passions against, people would turn from the project of “establishing and maintaining civil and religious liberty” and would instead turn against each other. 

Lincoln reminded his audience that the torch of American democracy had been passed to them. The Founders had used their passions to create a system of laws, but the time for passion had passed, lest it tear the nation apart. The next generation must support democracy through “sober reason,” he said. He called for Americans to exercise “general intelligence, sound morality, and in particular, a reverence for the constitution and laws.”

“Upon these let the proud fabric of freedom rest, as the rock of its basis; and as truly as has been said of the only greater institution, ‘the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.’”

What became known as the Lyceum Address is one of the earliest speeches of Lincoln’s to have been preserved, and at the time it established him as a rising politician and political thinker. But his recognition, in a time of religious fervor and moral crusades, that the law must prevail over individual passions reverberates far beyond the specific crises of the 1830s.

Hi, hope you're doing well! I was wondering if you had any recommendations for oracle decks for beginners

Hey there, thanks for the ask!

Honestly, it depends on what you're looking for. There are different Oracle decks for different things. I would also recommend using a deck that calls to you, regardless of what anyone says to you. If you feel a connection to a deck, that's likely your best bet; you may find it easier to interpret the cards.

Oracle cards tend to be more challenging for people than tarot, so keep in mind that even decks that might be a little more "beginner" may still be a bit difficult to interpret, even with the aid of a guide book. Here's a list of decks I'd recommend:

The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit Oracle deck (by Kim Krans)

Woodland Wardens (by Jessica Roux)

The Urban Crow Oracle (by MJ Cullinane)

Mushroom Spirit Oracle (by Nicola McIntosh)

Sacred Symbols Oracle deck (by Marcella Kroll) (when I checked, I didn't see anything appropriative, but I couldn't see the full deck; I'd remember double-checking this one if you can)

Moonology (by Yasmin Boland)

Tea Leaf Fortune Cards (by Rae Hepburn)

Ancient Animal Wisdom (by Stacy James & Jada Fire)

Wisdom of the Raven (by J Edward & Heather Neill)

If you want something a little more challenging, I recommend these:

The Wild Unknown Archetypes Deck (by Kim Krans)

Oracle of the Radiant Sun (by Caroline Smith & John Astrop)

Cosma Visions Oracle deck (by James R. Eads)

The Endless Oracle (by Eric Maille)

The Phantom Fauna Oracle deck (by Sam Sawyer) (I think you could use this one as a starting deck, too, tbh)

Pillars (by Travis Lawrence) (honestly, I desperately want to get my hands on this one myself)

I hope this gives you some things to look into and enjoy! Have a good day/night, friend. c:

Hi sad, I’m anxiety (sorry for terrible dad joke) <3 how about 16 & 21 for the current wip

It made me smile and I sure need a smile right now, so thank you!

16. Write the next 5 sentences and share.

From my Shepard/Victus WIP:

There are those in this galaxy who have less than her. She may no longer have her mom, but she has her best friend, and for some reason, his dad has seen fit to take her in. She lies in his bed and feels unworthy of the great kindness he’s shown her.

But, she also thinks about Adrien, and how he has less love in his life than she does, and yet he’s pushed her away once more.

It’s that thought that brings the long awaited tears.

21. Share 3 songs that would belong on a playlist for this chapter/fic. 

Also from the Shepard/Victus WIP because the thought of finding suitable songs for the maple syrup heist fic felt like murder. 😂

Giant Day- Glass Narcissus (The Elephant 6 Recording Company)

Elephant 6 alumni Derek Almstead (Circulatory System, The Olivia Tremor Control, The Glands, Elf Power, and of Montreal) and Emily Growden (Marshmallow Coast, Faster Circuits, and The New Sound of Numbers) have released their Giant Day debut LP, Glass Narcissus. After an EP and a single, it’s well worth the wait. All of the songs were written by Derek except “Patience,” which he co-wrote with Emily. The album was produced, recorded, and mixed by Giant Day, with production consultation by Will Cullen Hart (The Olivia Tremor Control, The New Sound of Numbers, and more). The artwork, photography, and design were created by Emily. “I Can Take It” leads the album off with a mixture of upbeat sounds. Definitely a toe-tapper with its bass guitar. According to Derek, it’s a tribute to Janet Jackson’s “When I Think of You” written during the COVID lockdown. The lyrics say it all, “I’m not able to sleep more; Can’t get up and get out of bed; Reattaching the moment; Keep kicking and cursing.” Next up, “Ignore the Flood,” has a Blue Oyster Cult “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” vibe, but then takes off in so many different ways leaving BOC behind. Excellent guitar work that highlights this indie pop treat. Watch the video here:

“Vacation” is another swirl of jangling guitar work that is absolutely gorgeous. A sad song that brings Rain Parade to mind. “You're always a chore; You wonder why you don't see me more; You can't seem to clear your head; All of your dreams are dead, but you don't know why.” “Walk With A Shadow” opens with a trippy bass and Emily taking on the lead vocals. It's another lockdown number that reminds us of the panic at the time. “Why am I letting myself go; I'm getting afraid of my shadow; I can't look at it.” It's a perfect mix of creepy music with lyrics. Next is “Overtone,” a funky, psychedelic number with eerie keyboards and soaring vocals, plus a boatload of other instruments. “Suspended Animation” brings Emily back on vocals with an 80s sounding, bouncy mix of synths, beats, and guitars. Love it! Next up, “Fair Dues” kicks in with intricate guitar work that you hope will never stop. Heather McIntosh (Circulatory System, The New Sound of Numbers, and more) adds some beautiful cello to the mix of too many melodies to count. Stunning! “We Were Friends” is a song about Derek’s childhood friend. It starts off kind of rough, but then settles into a rockin’’ guitar jam. “Your dad was the preacher; And we sang in the choir; You try to corrupt me; And I try to corrupt you... It's a shame the way our world has changed. Don't remember much about you." Derek does a great job singing from the heart here. “Patience” enters with a heavy acoustic bass and a splash of brush drums that eventually lead into a lot of other psychedelic sounds (organ, synths, saxophone (courtesy of Bablicon’s David McDonnell)), but it’s Emily’s haunting vocals that take over here. “Do you sit and wait for the path of the moon? Do you see the rose and not the thorn? Do you see the day, but block out the night? Do you have patience?” Where did it begin? How will it end? Absolutely beautiful noise. The album ends with “Reflections on Kettle Black.” It jumps in as a spacy, frantic instrumental filled with synths, beats, and ambient sounds and then ends abruptly. Whoa! If you miss the Elephant 6 scene, this is a great album to hear. Glass Narcissus is filled with many artists from that collective. ERIC EGGLESON

12. What do you consider one of your greatest achievements in life?

It is more than difficult to look back over more than 80 years and decide what were great or greatest achievements.  Some seemed great and then paled by comparison.  Some seemed too minor to impress despite having great meaning for me.  Some seemed too personal to mention or too mundane to consider.  I had some of those,  But when we lived on Lansing Drive in Camp Springs, MD the back yard sloped on the south side.  Grass was difficult to grow and difficult to mow.  I found a wonderful solution.  I went to the library and found a book on how to build brick walls.  My children with their eight little hands carried many bricks from the trunk of our little Opel to the South side of the yard.  And brick by brick I built a foot high wall that solved the sloping problem.  I even built two steps to the upper level.  It was a very attractive solution.  When my neighbors, Dr. and Mrs. Hylton sold their house several years later, Mrs. Hylton assured me they made a greater profit because of my wall.   I like to think that was true but at any rate, it was a very satisfying achievement.

I think if you asked any of my children about my greatest achievement none of them would identify my greatest achievement as I do.  Perhaps I am wrong and I must ask them.  Actually, I have achieved many goals I set for myself.  From early childhood I wanted to travel and see other countries and wonderful places.  I have had the good fortune to do some of that.  I have seen the Prado in Madrid, the Uffizzi in Florence, the McIntosh Museum in Glasgow, St Gaudens in Cornish, NH.  I have seen the treasures in the Smithsonian and the National Gallery in Washington and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.  I have seen the giant redwoods in California and Stanley Park in Vancouver BC.  

I always wanted to go to university and earn a degree in Science.  It took a long time and a circuitous route but I accomplished that goal.  I wanted a career and I had a very satisfying one.  I always found Nursing  a rewarding profession.  

However,   I see my very greatest achievement as getting all my children through College without any student loans to repay.  Heather, Jaylyn and Peter finished with undergraduate degrees.  Robin cost as much in tuition and had a number of Alma Maters but no degree to date. Three weeks after I paid over $800.00 for a poetry course at BU in Boston, Robin dropped out and told me after any partial refund was possible.  From then on my new policy was to pay for courses completed.  Robin went on to New York to pursue a career in modeling and acting.  Heather earned a degree in accounting, magna cum laude, from Franklin Pierce University.  Jaylyn has a degree in Fine Arts from Plymouth State University. She financed her Masters in Fine Arts Writing from Emerson College in Boston,  Peter earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Sotheastern Massachusetts University in South Dartmouth, MA  They all earned their undergraduate degrees without one cent of student loans. That was my greatest achievement.

transcript:

Freak Out Hard on Me: After almost eight years to the day, Circulatory System will release a new album. Titled Signal Morning, the album was constructed from several hours of recorded material and assembled at several different studios. I can attest firmly, having heard it, that it’s a stunner. Containing some of the most singularly gorgeous harmonies I've ever heard the players perform, along with uncharacteristically muscular jams, the album hits high at every imaginable level. Signal Morning features the membership of band leader Will Cullen Hart's older outfit Olivia Tremor Control as well as Jeff Mangum (Neutral Milk Hotel) and Julian Koster (The Music Tapes). The band plans to tour in support of the 17-track album, which will be released by local label Cloud Recordings on LP, CD and digital formats on Aug. 4. Circulatory Systems last full-length release was its self-titled debut, which came out in August of 2001. Please see www.cloudrecordings.com for more information.
