✨1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die Series ✨ Album: In the Wee Small Hours Artist: Frank Sinatra Genre: #VocalJazz #TraditionalPop #Jazz ℹ️About The Album : n the Wee Small Hours is the ninth studio album by American vocalist Frank Sinatra. It was released in April 1955 by Capitol and produced by Voyle Gilmore with arrangements by Nelson Riddle. All the songs on the album deal with themes such as loneliness, introspection, melancholy, desolation, lost love, failed relationships, depression, and night life. (Wikipedia) 💭Thoughts : Ever since I first heard this album, almost a decade ago, I’ve come back to it seeking solace, rather to find the words to the silence that ensues on those nights that seem to go on forever. Every track is special, every track makes you smile even after 63 years of them being recorded; but that’s exactly what they say about great art ie it is timeless. (Breathing Out) You know when you’re crushing over someone and you’re not sure where it’s going to go, you run all these scenarios in your mind, maybe to condition ourselves but it feels pretty dopey more often than not. So, here’s to your post Valentine feels. (And in case you’re happy, go fuck yourself) 🍸Goes Best With : Jack Daniel’s Black Label, that’s the one. It was love at first sip for Sinatra and legend has it, he was even buried with one. So, pour selves a large and crack open that box of cigars (cigarettes, in case you’re like me and haven’t acquired the taste for it), Yes, the one you’ve been hiding in your toolbox in the garage. Favourite Tracks: 🔥In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning, 🔥Mood Indigo, 🔥Glad To Be Unhappy, 🔥Can’t We Be Friends, 🔥I’ll Be Around. Featured Tracks: ✨In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning, ✨Glad To Be Unhappy. #FrankSinatra #InTheWeeSmallHours #NelsonRiddle #Capitol #VoyleGilmore #Music #MusicReview #KANSASreviews #Musik_Co_ #TasteYourMusic #PsyNok #Psyn0k #FavouriteTracks https://www.instagram.com/p/Coz56UEvBP4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

do you have favorite sources for the short form works you read? journals/blogs/podcasts/etc you subscribe to?
Sure you know, since I've said this many times before, but I prefer short-form articles, essays, etc. to full-length books. More condensed information, often without superfluous "setting the stage" and introductory/re-hashed material, without the incentive to appease publishers or popular expectations. Easier to access, quicker to read and discuss with others. I'd prefer to read from activists and scholars outside of or ostracized from traditional academia, including outside of the US/Europe. (I don’t revere academia and the best “ontologies” or most “cutting-edge” theories in geography/space/place have already been considered and articulated by Indigenous thinkers and the Black diaspora for generations.) I look to so-called "critical geography" or "radical geography" journals, and the personal sites/blogs of activists and abolitionist groups.
Subjects I focus on: environmental history of empires and colonization; traditional ecological knowledge and Indigenous geography and ways of knowing; Anthropocene, Capitalocene, legacy of plantation systems; extinction and introduced species; resistance, fugitivity, and carceral geography; refugees; the making and enforcement of borders, boundaries, frontiers, hinterlands; ruins, ruination, haunting, trauma, social death; Pleistocene fauna and Paleolithic/ancient anthropogenic environmental change; islands, tidalectics, archipelagic thinking; wastelanding and sacrifice zones; region-specific geography, especially the sea, Oceania, the Pacific, Caribbean, Latin America, and Turtle Island; human relationships with other-than-human creatures, multispecies world-building. (Long-form or full-length books I've previously recommended about these subjects.)
Journals:
My favorites:
Antipode: A Radical Journal of Geography /// Geoforum /// AlterNative: An International Journal of Indigenous Peoples /// ACME: An International Journal for Critical Geographies /// The Global South
Human Geography: A New Journal of Radical Geography /// Gender, Place & Culture: A Journal of Feminist Geography /// Small Axe: A Caribbean Platform for Criticism /// Island Studies Journal /// Environment and Planning D: Society and Space /// International Journal of Critical Indigenous Studies
And also:
Journal of the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association /// borderlands /// Capitalism, Nature, Socialism /// Gastronomica: The Journal of Critical Food Studies /// Settler Colonial Studies /// Interventions: International Journal of Postcolonial Studies
Journal of Immigrant and Refugee Studies /// Landscape History: Journal of the Society for Landscape Studies /// Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History /// Callaloo: A Journal of African Diaspora Arts and Letters
Children’s Geography /// Environmental Humanities /// Anthurium: A Caribbean Studies Journal /// Mobilities /// African and Black Diaspora: An International Journal /// Sargasso: A Journal of Caribbean Literature, Language and Culture /// Emotion, Space and Society
-------
Some favorite scholars:
Postcolonial Caribbean environments: Lizabeth Paravisini-Gebert; Eduoard Glissant; Aime Cesaire
Tidalectics, archipelagic thinking, the Pacific; international solidarity: Elizabeth DeLoughrey; Epeli Hau’ofa
Environmental debris left behind by imperialism; haunting; “social death”: Avery Gordon; Tim Edensor; Hugo Reinert; Ann Laura Stoler
Necropolitics/biopolitics: Arundhati Roy; Frantz Fanon; Neel Ahuja; Achille Mbembe
Carceral thinking; abolition; fugitivity: Harney and Moten; Ruth Wilson Gilmore; Alison Mountz
Wastelanding, hinterlands, at0mic waste: Traci Brynne Voyles; Phil Neel
Postcolobnial landscapes: Kathryn Yusoff; Iyko Day; Anna Boswell; Anna Tsing
Indigenous futurisms and ways of knowing; Turtle Island: Audra Simpson; Leanne Betasamosake Simpson; Robin Wall Kimmerer; Kyle Whyte
Anti-colonial Latin America: Macarena Gomez-Barris; Paulo Tavares; Pedro Neves Marques
-------
General sources:
-- Interdisciplinary “radical/critical geography” sources, which might include informal blogs, personal sites of individual activists/scholars, and actual formal academic journals
-- Several smaller interdisciplinary region-specific academic journals (like, focused specifically on Latin America, the Caribbean, Indigenous issues, etc.);
-- The blogs of a couple of university presses/publishers, which include interviews with scholars and short summaries of new research (for example, the University of Arizona Press blog)
-- And, once I’ve discovered authors/scholars into the same interests, their personal sites, which is especially good for avoiding the privileged veneer of academia and instead reading the work of activists, refugees, Indigenous thinkers, agitators, prisoners, theorists, scholars from outside of academia.
Also, since so-called “critical geography” and “postcolonial / anti-colonial studies” have both exploded in attention in recent years, there are many anthology books published which collect short-form articles/essays from multiple different scholars. Specifically, some of the Routledge anthologies (Environmental Humanities, Environment and World Literature, etc.) routinely publish good collections of many different scholars. Same with some of the Palgrave handbook series. Search “Routledge” or “Palgrave handbook” alongside terms like: postcolonial, environmental, etc.
Geography stuff, because contemporary academic critical geography sees itself as so interdisciplinary that it won’t make distinctions between history, human ecology, political ecology, landscapes, “natural” ecology, etc. Everything situated in a wider context. So you get a fuller or more complete picture of “the issue” because they’re not hyper-focused only on, say, environmental science without considering local political history or whatever. All of it is mingled. Can discuss Indigenous ecological knowledge, histories of colonization/dispossession, ongoing neoliberal dispossession, and environmental science all in the same article. And then generally look for anything described as “critical geography,” basically considered its own field.
-------
Websites:
Arcadia (Environment and Society Portal); Edge Effects. Also, e-flux. Hard to describe e-flux, but they do a monthly journal on “architecture” broadly but radicalism (especially Black radicalism), postcolonialism, borders/immigration, and Anthropocene stuff more specifically, as well as hosting art shows and multimedia projects; high-quality writing but avoids the gatekeeping of academia, hosts writing of abolitionists/activists, etc. I check their website every day.
-------
Universities which host pretty good critical/radical geography communities/departments often have a blog (run by faculty or school press or whatever) where they promote new articles, new books, interviews with scholars, and accessible summaries of new research/publications. Specifically, some of my favorite publishing/features/stories come from the university presses of University of Washington (which focuses on PNW history) and University of Arizona (which focuses on borders/boundaries, frontiers, wastelands/deserts, and Latin America). Some of the better critical/radical geography and/or environmental humanities universities:
University of Victoria (BC) /// UW Madison /// UC Santa Cruz /// University of Washington /// University of Chicago /// University of Arizona (Tucson)
-------
Some of the better journals, with descriptions quoted from their online editorial board descriptions:
-- Antipode: A Radical Journal of Geography: “Authors are encouraged to critique and challenge settled orthodoxies [...]. Papers should put new research or critical analyses to work to contribute to strengthening a Left politics broadly defined. This includes, but is not limited to, attention to how politics of class, gender, race, colonialism, sexuality, ability are a core part of radical theory and politics. Antipode’s Editorial Collective welcomes submissions from all places, including the global South and/or from those traditionally marginalised in the academy (historically under-represented groups, regions, countries and institutions).”
-- AlterNative: An International Journal of Indigenous Peoples: “... is an internationally peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal. We aim to present scholarly research on Indigenous worldviews and experiences of decolonization from Indigenous perspectives from around the world. [...] AlterNative was launched by Nga Pae o te Maramatanga, New Zealand’s Maori Centre of Research Excellence, to provide an innovative new forum for Indigenous scholars to set their own agendas, content and arguments and establish a unique new standard of excellence in Indigenous scholarship.”
-- Geoforum: “Geoforum is a leading international, inter-disciplinary journal publishing innovative research and commentary in human geography and related fields. It is global in outlook and integrative in approach. The broad focus of Geoforum is the organisation of economic, political, social and environmental systems through space and over time. Areas of study range from the analysis of the global political economy, through political ecology, national systems of regulation and governance, to urban and regional development, feminist, economic and urban geographies and environmental justice and resources management.”
-- The Global South: “The Global South is an interdisciplinary journal that focuses on how world literatures and cultures respond to globalization. Particularly of interest is how authors, writers, and critics respond to issues of the environment, poverty, immigration, gender, race, hybridity, cultural formation and transformation, colonialism and postcolonialism, transatlantic encounters, homes, diasporas, and resistance and counter discourse.”
-- ACME - An International Journal for Critical Geographies: “Our underlying purpose is to make radical work accessible for free. We set no subscription fee, we do not publish for profit, and no ACME Editors receive any compensation for their labour. We note this not in self-righteousness, but as a way to foreground the practice of collective work and mutual aid. The journal's purpose is to provide a forum for the publication of critical work about space and place in the social sciences — including anarchist, anti-racist, autonomist, decolonial, environmentalist, feminist, Marxist, non-representational, postcolonial, poststructuralist, queer, situationist, and socialist perspectives. Analyses that are critical are understood to be part of the praxis of social and political change aimed at challenging, dismantling, and transforming prevalent relations, systems, and structures of colonialism, exploitation, oppression, imperialism, national aggression, environmental destruction, and neoliberalism.”
If I were to recommend just a few journals: Antipode; ACME; Geoforum; e-flux

artist: Frank Sinatra
album: In the Wee Small Hours
year: Released and recorded 1955
personnel:
Frank Sinatra - vocals
Nelson Riddle - arranger, conductor
Voyle Gilmore - producer
Label: Capitol
thoughts:
didn’t know the history behind this album until I was almost through it, but it’s really interesting! basically one of the first real Albums rather than a collection of singles, with a cohesive theme (sadness, loneliness, loss of love, etc), and apparently this album really helped boost the popularity of the 12 inch! very very cool. We Love You Frank Sinatra
I’m on my second listen now and there aren’t specific songs that stand up as much as certain moments in songs- usually sinatra’s singing, but there are some really nice moments with the band
One song that does actually stand out to me is Ill Wind (contradicting the previous point but maybe I just need a few more listens)
Sinatra does a really consistently good job throughout the album- he and the band really do clearly establish a mood that continues throughout the whole album without making the songs sound too similar or boring. really reflects well on his artistry here!

In the history of popular music, few performers can lay claim to completely changing the musical landscape. Although they were unlikely heroes, The Kingston Trio started a demand for folk music that hadn't existed before, opening up a world of songs and styles that had never had a place in pop music. Certainly The Weavers laid the cornerstones for the folk era, but it was the Trio's tremendous popularity that made the folk boom possible. On the surface, there wasn't much to the group. They weren't gifted as singers or musicians, the songs they sang were often watered down interpretations from the rich tradition of folk song. One shining example was their hit "A Worried Man", which took the old Carter Family classic about a prisoner and turned it into a comedic song about a women making time with three suitors at the same time. In many ways, that was a key element in their success. They didn't take themselves or the music they played that seriously, seeing themselves primarily as entertainers. The Weavers had put forth the initial notion of folk songs in a popular music context, but their early records were highly ornate and orchestrated. It was their Carnegie Hall concert album from 1957 that sparked a more rootsy approach that featured banjo and guitar. As small folk groups began popping up around the country, The Kingston Trio honed their skills on the west coast.
youtube
Dave Guard and Bob Shane had met while still in school in Hawaii, later teaming with Nick Reynolds from Coronado California. Their first impact came during an engagement at The Purple Onion in San Francisco. Voyle Gilmore of Capitol Records caught their act at the nightclub and offered them a recording contract. Their self titled first album came out in 1958, but no one expected an old murder ballad to break out the way it did. "Tom Dooley" became a huge hit in 1958, propelling the three young men into instant stardom. Even today, their popularity in the late fifties and early sixties staggers the imagination. During their career, they would score 14 top ten albums, including five number ones. In 1959, they had four albums in the top ten at once. For all their success, they were never embraced by the folk community, or even credited for the boom they started. They were never part of the east coast movement emanating from Greenwich Village, never played in Washington Park. They were the product of night clubs in big cities from the get go. Their popular song "Scotch and Soda" being a prime example of their lack of concern about what constituted folk songs.
youtube
Their clean cut image was in marked contrast to some other folkies, who thought their matching outfits was too show biz. Guard left the group in 1960, replaced by John Stewart. The change didn't hurt their popularity, although their sound became a bit more ornate as time passed by. The British Invasion and the electric sound of Bob Dylan dated them quickly.....the original Trio disbanded in 1967. Their would be reunions, Shane would carry on with his own Kingston Trio into the new century. There is still an active group, although Shane, Reynolds, Guard and Stewart have all passed on. Considering that the music they played was outside the popular mainstream, and that they didn't spring from the burgeoning folk world around New York City, their breakthrough and long term popularity is still impressive. They may have never gained the respect they deserved, but to them it didn't really matter, because it was their music that caused a seismic shift in the music world. Their audience loved them dearly and supported them enthusiastically for years. Their arrival on the scene changed everything, and as I said at the outset, few performers have ever been able to pull that off. That's why The Kingston Trio remain one of the most important groups that ever existed.

Quote
As a singer, there's no one like him. As a guy, there was no one more difficult to handle. Each time you saw Frank, it was like meeting a different guy. How he treated you depended solely on how he felt at that moment and what was bugging him. And, believe me, he has a lot to bug him. Because he's gotta be on the move all the time, he keeps getting involved in more than any human being can handle.
Producer Voyle Gilmore on Frank Sinatra

El mejor disco sobre el desamor de todos los tiempos. Podría decirse que 1955 fue el año de Frank Sinatra. No estaba en su mejor momento profesional, ni en su mejor momento personal después de romper su relación con Ava Gadner. Sin embargo, Capitol…
