Tsv chapter 7- aka the "Companies will always priorities profits over it's workers and will absolutely abuse you if given a chance" The chapter
Ok but honestly this was really hard episode to listen to. In a good way. In an excellent way even. First of all Sid!!! To be honest I didn't really care about Sid before (nothing against him) but HOLY SHIT!!!! GOOD GOD!!! HE DIDN'T FUCKING DESERVE THAT WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!
And then Vaughan!!!! Why Vaughan?!?!? Why kill my friend Vaughan :(?!?!?? I miss them already!!!
Honestly the entire Paige's section was just absolutely..... Upsetting. I don't even know why it unsettled me as much as it did, cause there were hints everywhere before this episode that even the government approved corporate divinity demanded sacrifices and was mist likely even worse, but actually listening to it was just. God.
I think the horror isn't just in people being violently and horrifically transformed into these monster, but also the fact that it is so completely normalized in this world. It's the fact that everyone is letting this happen, even encouraging and exploiting this. They don't care that the person who drives their trains has literally been fused to the seat all miserable and in pain, or the fact that the popular radio jockey that everyone listens is forced to stay awake for days and locked up in his studio as he dies painfully, or the fact that their co-workers! Their friends! Are literally sacrificed to mold into a grotesque God and then killed so the company can keep making profits it doesn't need. They don't care or if they do they don't speak up, and it's just!! God!!
Also the parallels between Paige's father and the company. How they both just keep taking and taking and taking. Give out sweet nothings and false promises and what not if you do exactly what they want you to do but will curse you if you don't do it or manage to live up to their high standards. Never actually giving a shit about you, only abuses you. And just God!
With all that said i love that scene at the end where Paige just leaves everything behind only to get kidnapped by Carpenter and Faulkner after catching them trying to jack her car. Carpenter you truly are love of my life
Overall great episode and excellent worldbuilding!!!! I wanted to punch Hopper so fucking bad!!!! Rip Vaughan, unionizing could have saved you

Denny Vaughan was a big star in Canada in the early 1950s.
He was one of the first people to put Rich Little on TV and he gave comedy writer Saul Ilson his very first job.
By the late 1960s, he was no longer a big star and Saul Ilson was one of the most successful television producers in Hollywood.
Saul Ilson, in an act of generosity, brought Vaughan down to Hollywood and gave him a high paying job as the "music consultant" on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.

My Silt Verses hyperfixation is not leaving me and I realize I have to figure out who I relate to more; Sister Carpenter or Brother Faulkner because I relate heavily to both of them. Also I miss Vaughan.

Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives Get Behind NPR’s Tiny Desk and Make Big Impression
Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives are one hell of a gospel group.
The quartet made the point in closing its NPR “Tiny Desk Concert” with “Heaven,” a true gospel-’grass number that toggles between a cappella vocalizations and acoustic instrumentation and proves the group equally adept on the mic and stringed things.
Stuart, on mandolin and guitar, Kenny Vaughan (guitar), Chris Scruggs (bass) and drummer Harry Stinson also made the point that cliched lyrics and straight Johnny Cash ripoffs - Stuart owned it by singing a bar of “Big River” before “Tomahawk” - can work in the hands of the right musicians.
“What a great way to spend an afternoon,” Stuart said at one point. The audience members obviously agreed.
For the in-studio crowd was even louder than the band, whoopin’ and a-hollerin’ as the FabSupes performed “Streamline” - with Stinson on brushed snare as his bandmates offered fiery acoustic guitar, mandolin and double bass solos - after warming up with the set-opening, Everly-esque rockabilly of “Tempted.”

I get the feeling they fought a lot as children
Laszlo: Do you mean to say that you skipped out on every single restaurant in town?? Ferenc: Well, it couldn't be every single one. London's a big place... Laszlo: That's not the point! I mean that you skipped out on SO MANY places, the maître d' recognized me--I mean you--thinking that I'm you! And I will NOT be confused with a deadbeat, least of all my own brother. Ferenc: [he covers his own guilt with a prideful look] And I refuse to starve here. I refuse to starve anywhere, but especially not in this land of plenty. Laszlo: Land of plenty?! They barely stopped RATIONING, you insensitive clod. In fact, they still don't have any proper meat at the shops. Small wonder, with pigs like you running around loose. Ferenc: 😳 Laszlo: And anyway, you just can't live this way all your life! You're not seventeen anymore, begging for loose change at the coffeeshop. You're a grown man, as scary as that is to contemplate, and you need to make a living. Ferenc: I have a job! I play music, same as you! Laszlo: Yeah, except I make money doing it. You play a lot of pretty pastoral nonsense for cows in a field, in exchange for nothing. Ferenc: 😠
#peter lorre#just imagine peter playing two brothers and arguing with himself#and that's what this is hehehehe#the 'pastoral nonsense' he refers to is the music of Vaughan Williams#laszlo doesn't care for it obviously :P#writing#character talk#notes to myself

Movie Reviews - Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan: Brothers in Blues / Spinning Gold
This week I got to review two music-themed movies:
Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan: Brothers in Blues
movie poster
Stevie Ray Vaughan (1954-1990) was a guitar legend. I mean it. He elevated blues and rock with his extraordinary guitar playing in unbelievable ways. I became aware of him in the late 80s as a teen. On August 27, 1990 he died at age 35 in a helicopter accident following a performance at a blues festival. At that point and time, I was taking guitar lessons and my instructor talked about SRV quite a bit. I watched the MTV News special following his passing and began to get into his music. His 1983 debut Texas Flood and his Greatest Hits compilation are among my faves. In 2004 while visiting Austin, TX I actually saw the SRV monument.
me with the SRV statue in Austin, TX in 2004
In 2019 when I interviewed biographer Alan Paul about his SRV bio Texas Flood, something we discussed is that SRV’s music does not sound dated at all. It is from the 80s but there’s a timelessness to his music. SRV’s older brother Jimmie Vaughan is quite an impressive guitarist as well. I first became aware of him in The Fabulous Thunderbirds (”Tuff Enuff” was featured in tons of movie soundtracks, too many to namecheck here) and I even included his solo album Baby, Please Come Home in my Best Albums of 2019 list. TX-based director (and former editor of the TX music publication Buddy Magazine) Kirby Warnock has directed a doc on both Vaughan brothers Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan: Brothers in Blues, which was recently released on VOD platforms.
The doc shows the Vaughan brothers humble beginnings and their early interest in guitar and both of their musical trajectories. It doesn’t shy away from talking about their struggles with addiction and getting sober. It also goes deep into the music itself. Or course it also sadly gets into SRV’s untimely death just before the release of The Vaughan Brothers only album Family Style (pretty good album BTW). Featured interviewees include Jimmie Vaughan as well as Eric Clapton, Nile Rodgers, Jackson Browne, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top and various Vaughan relatives and experts.
I’m a fan of SRV and while I’m not expert on Jimmie Vaughan, I have a deep respect for him. Therefore I was fully on board with this doc. At times it does veer into For Fans Only territory and Warnock does seem like more of a fan than a filmmaker at times (i.e., he narrates and at one point he recounts his own experience being at the concert being shown) - but stay with it. The doc has some amazing archival footage and it makes the point of why both brothers are guitar legends who deserve their place in the pantheon of music history.

3.5 out of 5 stars
Spinning Gold
movie poster
Neil Bogart (1943-1982) was the founder of Casablanca Records, which turns 50 this year. The label was ground zero for so much 70s music: Kiss, Donna Summer, Parliament, The Village People and many more. Just a few weeks ago, I scored a vinyl copy of Kiss’s Alive II and there was the Casablanca logo in the center of the vinyl! Brooklyn native Neil Bogart founded the label and he thought big and gambled even bigger. Neil’s son Timothy Scott Bogart has directed, written and produced a big music biopic about his father with Spinning Gold, which opened this weekend. The idea of someone directing a film about their father kind of reminded me of Baadasssss!, Mario Van Peebles’ biopic about his father Melvin.
Jeremy Jordan plays Neil Bogart, who came from humble beginnings and with his trusty music-loving executives began a record label, a subsidiary of Warner Brothers. The first few years they were in debt. But he had a passion for music and believed in the artists years before the public caught on. While the label was in the red, he gambled even bigger. All this while having a wife and kids (and an extra-marital affair).
The real Neil Bogart (center) with Kiss in 1973
I went into this movie a fan of many of the artists, so I was never bored with the movie itself. But I need to say: this is the argument for a limited series instead of a movie. As a stand-alone movie this felt like so much was shoehorned in and condensed. As a limited series, it could unfold over multiple episodes and say more over a longer period of time, much like the new Amazon Prime Video series Daisy Jones & The Six, also about the music industry in the 70s. The film has loads of tropes of music biopics, i.e. that moment when a musician comes up with a song that will one day be a classic and it blows away everyone in the room (that happens a few times in this film). We got pieces of Kiss’s story, pieces of Donna Summer, pieces of George Clinton - but not enough pieces to put it all together and be bigger than the sum of their parts. I will say this - I really liked a some of the supporting characters and seeing comic actors like Jay Pharaoh, Michael Ian Black, and Chris Redd do more than their usual comedic roles. Jordan is not bad as Neil Bogart, but I couldn’t help but think about Justin Timberlake in the role as he was attached to this over a decade ago. Fans of Kiss (or Kiss Army Members) are likely to be let down by the group getting reduced to a small supporting role in the film. Overall, movies about record labels are hard to get right, but this one swings high...even if it doesn’t always land on gold.

Before I forget: Paul live in Paris, Dec 4, 2024
At some point, there was real life and having to take care of 1001 things in order to come here, but I can't remember. The Stadium is enormous, the view clear, the sound sublime. As the venue fills, a DJ creates a set of deep cuts and remixes from Paul, Beatles, & Wings that paints a broad but incomplete mural of the man's music. On the screens, an endless building scrolls past: a castle or a tower, inhabited by all these friends and lovers—only to culminate in the birthing of two Höfner basses from—flowerbuds? Star nurseries? I don't remember. Anyway, it's appropriately lusty Gemini symbolism. Earlier, my seat neighbor @i-am-the-oyster spots an angry skull in the QR code innocently leading to Sir Paul's website. Also with us are @packyourromanticmind, @s-l-martin a little further away, @crumblingcookies down on the floor, and next to me Mr. Suzette.
Can't Buy Me Love. We're underway. It's over almost before it begins. More more more. • Junior's Farm. My God, that figure down there is really him. These delicate wrists, bright white shirt, but also — these hands on the strings? Above all, a musician. • Letting Go. Red Lights, throbbing beat, sleazy bassline thrumming. I bet this is a personal favorite of his. • Drive My Car. The thrill of singing Beep Beep M Beep Beep Yeah in sync with thousands. • Got to Get You Into My Life. Damn, his voice his soaring. • Come On to Me. What? My fiction brain supplies so many "everyone comes on Paul, and Paul returns the favor"-scenarios. • Let Me Roll It. The first taste of actual ecstasy. Paul switches to guitar. Too far below me, a sea of people is swaying and singing. He gave me loving in the palm of my hand.
Getting Better. How dare he jump from the churning vortex of Let Me Roll It into the happy, skipping optimism of...this? Of course it works, and he sings it well. • My loudest scream of the night goes to Brother Michael in Let 'Em In. This one feels like a sibling of Getting Better—that relentless, easy rhythm, stripped of Lennon's edge. • My Valentine. Elle est ici. This one's for you, Nance. Dark, old, honest love song in black and red, with the voice just this side of breaking on this love of mine. • Still behind the piano, Sir Paul feels the need to bounce on it, and does so with Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five, no holds barred. • Since we're going insane, why fight it? Maybe I'm Amazed, absolutely a highlight so far—the piano, the shredding guitar. The screams and falsettos.
And then he's suddenly standing in front of the stage singing I've Just Seen A Face. Infuriating. • In Spite of All the Danger. This holds up, lifting the entire stadium with its gentle melody—until it's time to lose it when Paul plays George's guitar solo. McCartney—Harrison. • Love Me Do. George Martin name drop! No more audition nerves; this is a now a singalong tune. Excellent harmonica playing by Wix Wickens. • Michelle. In Paris! Makes me think of Ivan Vaughan's wife, who helped with the French. So much history in this room, in this work. The I Love You's are for everyone present. • Dance Tonight. That's right, get up and shake it! Palate cleanser.
Blackbird. I know: a forever song. The simplicity of him with a guitar. His hands. This is still that body. • Here Today. His voice is more firm singing this than it was in the past, not as close to tears—but if anything, it makes the line I Love You even better: strong, sure. Let's hear it for John. (Applause.) (Demanding gaze.) (More, louder applause.) That's right. • Now And Then. I miss John's voice. The vibes of this song are: It was beautiful, now it's over. Oof. Thank you, John, for giving us the beautiful song.
Enough of this. Sir Paul escapes behind the colorful piano. Lady Madonna time! • And right into Jet. Why not? A bit jarring, but hey. Triumphant fucking song, and just what we need now. • Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite! At this point you're just fucking with us, Paul, and we let you. Disturbing to discover the lyrics to this song reside in the same brain that seems to be incapable of remembering actually crucial information with real life consequences. • Something. And like that, the heart is pierced again. It's just Paul and the ukulele at first, and thousands of voices singing for George. The man was loved. And the song is genius.
Me, before the concert: I could do without Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da. Me, during the song: goes nuts. • Band on the Run is a cool song, and it makes you feel good inside. It's time we all admit this. • Ram it home Paul, we want it: Get Back. What a song to play live. Gift of the gods.
Another change of pace as Paul sings Let It Be, surrounded by glowing wish balloons and the stars of the audience phone lights. Incredibly gorgeous and cathartic. My mother's second name was Mary and she died much too young; don't expect me to be normal about this song. • Live and Let Die. Okay then. Time to just surrender to the insanity of it all. I had *heard* of the fire show, seen it on small screens. I am not prepared. Not to mention the musical...orgy. • Hey Jude. This is my chance to come down a bit. What a peaceful melody. And then he screams and hollers during the ad lib section like the One Hand Clapping sprite he is...!
Encore: I've Got A Feeling. Paul and John sound crisp together. John looks so, so beautiful. Also, Paul still has the energy to almost scream in tune at this point. • Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Reprise. Nooo, don't go! Also, Sgt. MF Pepper's exists because of this man and his bandmates. And it's just one song of the encore. Have to make choices, right. • Time to pull all the stops, and there's so much left. Helter Skelter. No, we will not take it down a notch. • Golden Slumbers. Damn you, Paul. • Carry That Weight. The first signs of the voice possibly being done for the night, but who cares when everyone sings along? • The End. The guitar solos! All this man wants to do is make music, either alone or in a good band. Both are fine with him, really.
When he's done, he's pretending to be humbled by the applause while actually soaking it up, and leaves the stage with a spring in his step, waving coquettishly at the camera that follows him for a bit. Is he kissing the camera? I forget. I think I remember the end. We see it all on the big screens: that lithe, white-haired figure, weaving past others until he's truly gone. Touch Me. Not a chance.
