Saints mangler tre spillere mod 49ers

Saints mangler tre spillere mod 49ers

New Orleans Saints kommer til at mangle tre spillere, når holdet søndag møder San Francisco 49ers. Saints kommer til at mangle linebacker Pete Werner, defensive end Payton Turner og safety J.T. Gray. Heldigvis for Saints burde de have running back Alvin Kamara til rådighed, efter han har været syg i denne uge. Også offensiv tackle James Hurst burde være tilbage på linjen for Saints. Saints har…

Don't know how to make one of those tier lists, but if I was ranking BrBa/BCS characters, the tiers would be:

Tier 1: "Only character I actually care about": Kim

Tier 2: "I need him for a few more things, then you can kill him": Jimmy

Tier 3: "Deserving of love and happiness and good things": Jesse, Skyler, Flynn, Badger, Skinny Pete, Stacey, Kaylee, Jane, Andrea, Nacho, Caldera, Ernesto, Irene, Marion, Lyle, Bill...

Tier 4: "Too interesting to hate": Walter, Chuck, Lalo, Hector, Tuco, Hank, Marie, Rebecca, Cheryl, Francesca, Werner.

Tier 5: "You can kill them; I don't care. Fuck that guy": Howard, Eladio, Lydia, Mike, Cliff, Rich, Kevin, Erin, Gretchen, Elliot, Eriksen, Domingo, Betsy, Craig, Gale, Gustavo, Jeff...

346: Various Artists // What Now, People? 2

What Now, People? 2 Various Artists 1977, Paredon

Paredon was an activist record label founded in 1969 that specialized in protest music, largely American acoustic folk with a good helping of releases by international leftist artists. Inspired by the Cuban Revolution and the model of “People’s Singers” like Joe Hill and Pete Seeger, Paredon put out about 50 releases over their 20ish years in operation. The mid-‘70s compilation series What Now, People? (three volumes between 1976 and 1977) was a musical magazine intended to stimulate development of new protest songs for marches, rallies, labour meetings, etc. by providing complete lyrics, chords, and commentary from contemporary folk singers.

The back of the included booklet asks the purchaser to mail back a “political record review” in the form of a questionnaire. It’s a little late for me to field questions 7 through 9, which concern suggesting record stores and radical organizations who might be interested in carrying Paredon stock, but I’ll do my best with the others.

1. HOW DID YOU FIRST HEAR ABOUT THIS RECORD?

I found a copy of it in the used section of Phonopolis Records, on Rue Bernard, Mile End, Montreal, Quebec in 2021.

2. WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION TO IT POLITICALLY?

I have always liked the “musical magazine” concept, and the notion of making a body of political songs accessible for people to not only listen to but learn how to play themselves (in the manner of The IWW Songbook) is very cool. On a level of pure politics, it’s hard to disagree with the lyrics’ notions that America must become more egalitarian or it will consume itself morally, environmentally, socially, and psychically. (Thankfully this is no longer a problem today.)

I’m not sure the emphasis on ‘60s-style folk was the strongest tact however. The late ‘70s was an era with no shortage of powerful protest music, but this collection largely eschews R&B and even rock (with apologies to Red Shadows’ limp Chuck Berry rewrite “Anything Good”). While the veteran Seeger’s “If a Revolution Comes to My Country” grapples with both the promise and challenge of political change in an immediate way, the efforts of the lesser-knowns mostly feel like they’re roleplaying as the firebrands of a prior era. The most genuinely “revolutionary” sounding pieces are those that come from outside the coffee shop scene, like Cuban Amaury Pérez Vidal’s ode to Puerto Rican independence “Siempre con Puerto Rico” and Dakota Sioux activist Floyd Westerman’s “B.I.A.” song���perhaps because these artists had much more direct connections with revolutionary political movements than most of the whites here.

3. WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE BOOKLET?

Fantastic. It’s a great and in some ways inspiring souvenir of the era, and I wish more artists would include the chords and lyrics to their songs.

4. HOW HAVE YOU USED THIS RECORD?

I don’t believe that What Now, People? 2 would be of much use at a contemporary organizing meeting or rally, so largely for scholarly interest; for enjoyment of some pretty folk numbers (Dee Werner, Dorie Ellzey); for yet another reminder of the circularity of political struggle.

5. WHAT OTHER RECORDS SHOULD BE MADE?

Paredon’s focus on bringing (at the time) difficult to find foreign artists to American audiences will stand as their greatest aesthetic achievement, and I wouldn’t have been upset if there were more. Perhaps some more overtures to Black activists and musicians might’ve led to a more dynamic result with this record in particular.

6. WHAT NOW, PEOPLE?

There is no shortage of protests to go to, letters to write, plans to make. Hopefully we’ll see each other out there, with songs in our hearts.

part i: the rise of the cybermen, or [werner herzog voice] "i would like to see the baby"

first things first, i just want to say that this episode's code name was apparently goldenrod, according to the scripts. why? great question. i would love to know how episodes get their code names one day.

anyway. as i'm obviously reading these scripts as fic research, these excerpts all focus on my lads & will include a lot of fic thoughts. FIRST UP: i would like to see the baby

now, from reading the rest of the script, i understand that when they say 20 they probably mean early 20s, not necessarily 20 on the dot. however. since i just headcanoned jake's age based on the actor andrew hayden-smith's at time of filming, i have been writing this fic on the basis that he's 23 or 24 when all of this goes down, and that he's been with the preachers for a few years already - he signed up when he was 20.

which is to say that i had a moment where i considered what might've been if jake had joined up with the preachers at, say, 17, and my heart broke for this kid who gets drawn into this cause the second he leaves school. because he's got that teenage rebellion in him & doesn't totally get what that entails until suddenly it's three years later and he's had to cut off all contact with his family and live off the grid and like, now his first serious boyfriend is dead and he just has to keep going.

like, already rough when you're 23 or 24. the fic includes a fair bit of jake coming to terms with the fact that he has a lot of mixed feelings about the preachers in retrospect - a simultaneous i really believed in what we were doing and i loved these people so much and i did not feel taken care of outside of my role as a soldier. but 20?? 20???? he should be at the club

this was a cut scene! i remember being very excited when i saw it on my s2 dvd boxset as a kid. i could go into the dystopian nature of cybus industries owning all media + the police but like. we're all on tumblr dot com. i don't need to explain it to you

shoutout to the writers of this two-parter for deciding that the way they'd invent new countries for pete's world was to just stick "new" in front of already-existing place names. i'm not a huge fan of the way that we get both "new germany" (country) and "new south america" (continent) but also, unsurprised. also it's extremely fucked up that lumic specifically targeted unhoused people under the guise of charity. like we see it in the episode but it's really fucked up.

doctor who writers tell me more about the Barren Earth Scenario, i know that this means nothing but boy it's a catchy name

"so how do you do the worldbuilding for your fic" well you see, i do enough research to find ridiculously specific parts of pete's world lore (ex. the bbc's old john lumic blog) and then i go from there.

what's up. it's nearly 10:30pm and i'm exhausted after work. i should be in bed. i should be at the (metaphorical) club. instead i have a box of chocolate truffles from tesco and cannot stop thinking about breakfast sandwiches after watching the most recent adventuring party. (did you know that the one brand in the uk that made gluten free english muffins has stopped making gluten free english muffins? this is heartbreaking. i'm going to have to try making breakfast sandwiches with fucking crumpets.)

all of which is to say, that this is the perfect time for me to finally sit down and be unhinged about doctor who like i've been threatening to do. i am here and i am overtired and i have script screenshots to talk about
