A-T-3 086 Disco Reggae Lovers
The last few days I've shared tracks on record labels that you might call Archive labels, unlike budget reissue labels these releases sell at a premium. Archive labels have proliferated since the early 2000s. The most well known of these is probably Light In The Attic. LITA's reissues have a Sunday colour supplement feel to them. Below is a Guardian article about The Shaggs written by Bob Stanley, in it he draws comparisons to Vashti Bunyan (who in 2000 was currently being refound in the Sunday supplements and on Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone radio show) and The Free Design who LITA would reissue in 2003 https://www.theguardian.com/media/2000/jul/27/tvandradio.television1. The Shaggs' Philosophy Of The World had been reissued not long before this article came out in 2000, Light In The Attic would reissue it in 2016 on coloured vinyl to match the colour supplements
It was the 2012 documentary film Searching For Sugar Man that really put Light In The Attic on the map. LITA had reissued Rodriguez's Cold Fact album in 2008 and Coming From Reality in 2009. The documentary highlights Rodriguez' apparently unbeknownst stardom in South Africa. In fact in SA (and Australia) these albums hadn't been out of print since they were originally released there. There are documentaries made of other artists LITA reissue like Betty Davis (Betty: They Say I'm Different, 2017) and Karen Dalton (Karen Dalton: In My Own Time, 2020)
Light In The Attic is founded in 2002. The same year and 10-years after releasing their first reissue Soul Jazz records make the Studio One Story. The Studio One Story is released as a double album with the 4-hour documentary on DVD. This is the first Soul Jazz documentary, others will follow like Dub Echoes, and Jende Ri Palenge - People of Palenque the Afro-Colombian music and film project, Iron In The Soul: The Haiti Documentary Films Of Leah Gordon. As well as films Soul Jazz produce anthology books like Cover Art of Studio One Records
Soul Jazz began it's Studio One archive series with the compilation album 100% Dynamite in 1998. It has been the labels biggest seller. When it came out I saw it as a reggae equivalent of Blue Note's Blue Break Beats. Sanctuary owned the Trojan back catalogue at the time and put out the budget Trojan Records Box Set series on CD. Each box has about 50 tracks and the sleeve notes are sparse, so they're a bit like dumping all your photos off your phone onto instagram. 100% Dynamite and the subsequent 'Soul Jazz Studio One Series' are the opposite, they're thought outing come with a lot of info
The main focus of Light In The Attic isn't archive series like this (they have a few, the track below is from LITA's 'Japan Archival Series' begun in 2017) the bulk of their reissues reflect a label more like Rykodisc or Rhino
A better comparison with Soul Jazz would be Numero Group, launched 2003 in Chicago, USA. Numero's uniform packaging isn't far off the Mastercuts series albeit paired down for contemporary tastes. Numero was an archive label from the get go, numero NUM001 was Eccentric Soul: The Capsoul Label which was also the beginning it's first series 'Eccentric Soul.' Like Soul Jazz there's a lot of passion in these collections
You can see labels like Emotional Rescue also pay a debt to Soul Jazz
Ernest Ranglin – In The Rain This cover of the Dramatics R&B classic was put on the expanded 15-year anniversary edition of the Soul Jazz compilation HUSTLE! Reggae Disco - Kingston London New York. A few years later Emotional Rescue reissue the album In The Rain is on Be What You Want To Be. Emotional Rescue have a good relationship with Noel Williams (King Sporty) in Miami, USA and have slowly been releasing his productions which this is one. In 2021 Emotional Rescue put the track on a 7" as part of their 'Disco Reggae Lovers' 7" series
youtube
Another 1983 track from Emotional Rescue's 'Disco Reggae Lovers' series is Red Cloud - I Want To Be Free. Emotional Rescue are also putting out tracks from the Dancefloor label. The coup here is the dub on the b-side
youtube
The third 1983 original in the series is Lorraine by Dambala taken from their album Azania. It comes with a nice dub by Lexx on the bee. I wonder how this goes on at a party over the original?

Sporty boyssss (based on book things)
The fact we don't get to see Richie dump Gatorade on Mike is a wasted opportunity. (The fact it doesn't happen too). Reading Ben joined track out of spite is so chaotic I love him so much. And Stan's a good pitcher 🤷‍♂️ that's all I'll say

Royal Wildfowler - King George VI about to go out on the Broad at Hickling
“The Hickling coot shoot then is an occasion of high spirits and peculiarly Norfolk sentiment, and as such it had much appeal for His Majesty. The more humorous aspects of his sport were of vast appeal to the King, and the unusual features were subjected to merciless exaggeration, of which Her Majesty the Queen Mother provided evidence when she remarked, after being told later in the year that there had been eighteen guns at a coot shoot, 'Is that all? I understood there were eighty!' On these Hickling days the King had the company of many of his regular winter companions with the gun, and the rest of the assembly was composed of men, both boatmen and sportsmen, of a type with which he was closely familiar. For him it was a proper holiday, a real day out.”
from The King in His Country by Aubrey Buxton

Steddie! NSFW! TW: Porn, Body Dysmorphia
Steve has a huge problem. He's obsessed with this magazine he found at Eddie's house. Well, one photo specifically.
He found it in Eddie's copy of Dungeons & Dragons Players Handbook that he had been trying to use to create his first character. The book was so well-loved that for a moment, Steve had thought part of the book itself had fallen out, before looking down and seeing the cover of a gay porn magazine. His entire face turning red, thinking he hadn't been meant to see this, he quickly stuck it back into the back of the book and back onto his nightstand. Falling onto his back, staring up at his popcorn ceiling, trying to get the shirtless man from burning into the back of his eyelids.
He made it 36 hours before tentatively pulling the magazine back out of the book again. There wasn't any shame in knowing what a friend was into. Right? He's one of Eddie's best friends! They can laugh about it later! 'Haha, you left your dirty magazine in the book you lent me. You pervert!'
Steve looks at the front, a lithe and handsome young guy staring straight into the camera, holding up a football. The only indication that this magazine was dirty at all was the text advertising "HOT Young Jocks, Otters, and Daddies!!" Steve shakes his head and puts the magazine face down on the bed. He feels insane. This is way over the line.
Grabbing the magazine once again, he leafs through the pages, seeing all manner of muscular young men in a variety of sporty attire. Some in baseball outfits that were a size too small, legs spread on a bench to see his package straining against his pants, next to a picture of the same guy from the behind, the same pants making his rather round butt look almost like a girl's. Turning further past a few guys making out in camo gear, Steve comes across a dog-eared page.
For a moment, Steve remembers whose porn this is. Eddie had dog-eared this page to return to. The page that was folded for easy access was a muscular, sweaty guy in a basketball uniform. The uniform was a costumey shade of red that seemed that it was made for this shoot in particular, with the top cropped right below this guy's chest, the basketball shorts hanging low on this guy's hips, showing the waistband of his underwear, and a neatly manscaped happy trail. His hair was tossed around sexily. No, teased. It was kind of like Steve's, a warm, natural brown. This guy also had a few moles like Steve. Plus, the basketball outfit is almost a little too on the nose.
The page next to it made Steve's mouth go dry. This Not-Steve was below the camera now, mouth open for someone's hand to be pressing their thumb down onto his tongue. Looking through his long brown lashes like he was receiving sacrament, a silent prayer of reception in his soft eyes.
Steve hastily shoves the magazine in his bedside drawer. He struggles to sleep with so much blood southbound.
It's two days after that that he has to meet Eddie's eyes.
He's over to watch Rocky Horror again, nothing new. But this time, he sits an extra few inches away from Eddie. He isn't worried about Eddie making a pass at him, but he is worried he'll be weird if he thinks about Eddie thinking about sporty boys, his face getting all flushed and sweaty and- Quit it, Steven.
He stuffs pizza into his mouth, willing the cheesy bread to blanket his busy mind.
"Dost the King wish to share his royal thoughts?" Eddie quips.
"Shush, Freak." Steve flicks a piece of stale couch popcorn at Eddie.
Eddie cluches his chest, leaning back dramatically. "Oh! I'm wounded, Steve! How could you bring up my troubled past?"
"Sorry, just distracted tonight."
"Anything I can help with?"
Steve sighs. "Nah, just one of those nights."
They nodded at each other. They had seen enough of vines, girls with superpowers, and demobats to fill a million nights. They looked back towards the TV to watch the glittery outfits of the Transylvanians.
Steve felt a twist of guilt deep in his stomach at the small lie.
"Mm." Eddie said, knowingly.
"Yeah."
They sat in silence for quite a while, the campy sparkly show tunes bursting forth from the wood-paneled television enough to keep the quiet from becoming too awkward.
Janet breaks the silence with her iconic line, "I don't like men with too many muscles."
"I didn't make him FOR YOU!" Eddie shouts back along with Frank, laughing.
Steve takes a breath to gather his courage. "Do you like guys with muscles?"
Eddie's fingers drum on his thigh, looking away from Steve, pulling his hair to cover his face. "Whaat? Steve, do you really want to know my taste in guys? Isn't that like... weird to you?"
"Robin and I talk about our taste in girls all the time."
"Yeah, but that's different. You both like girls." Eddie's fingers pick up their rhythm, speadily pressing out a few chords into his thigh of choice. "You don't like guys."
"I don't, but Nancy does. I've talked with her, El, Max, even Argyle about the guys they like."
Eddie is quiet for a moment. "How about we talk about this another time. I'm kind of floaty on my painkillers right now."
They turn back towards the movie.
...
"Do you think Rocky or Frank-N-Furter is hotter?"
Eddie sighs, folding his hands in his lap. "Rocky. I think I'm too much like Frank. Plus, any gay guy can't resist those smooth muscles." Eddie laughs. "Not my usual type, though."
They part ways an hour later after the movie. Eddie's eyelids had started to droop during "I'm Going Home," and Steve knew he had about 20 minutes before he had to drag Eddie's spidery form to bed.
Once he was home, he grabbed the magazine and turned to the folded page. He stared down at Mr. Basketball, or "Rory," as the mag had dubbed him. He seemed slimmer than Steve, definitely less hairy.
Eddie's line from earlier chimed in Steve's head. "Any gay guy can't resist those smooth muscles." Well, Eddie liked smooth. Steve wasn't smooth. Eddie liked slim. Maybe that's what 'wasn't Eddie's type' about Rocky. This guy in the magazine was everything Eddie wanted. All the things Steve was, and the things he wasn't.
Steve pulled up his shirt, revealing his muscular stomach. It wasn't as toned as his high school days, but he would say he was muscular. His thick brunet curls, spreading up his stomach to his chest, and swirling down towards his cock.
As he pulls his shirt up further, more to the length of the boy's in the picture, he noticed the slight tenting of his pants.
Was this guy in the picture getting him hard? He looked between his junk and the mag a few times, noticing the tenting of Rory's own shorts in the second photo. It seemed that Rory was also a little more well-endowed than Steve. Steve had plenty, sure, but this guy? Steve clenched a little at the thought of staring down the barrel of that thing.
Eddie liked big-dicked, hairless, skinny jocks. Steve was maybe one out of three.
His hand drifted from playing with his stomach hair, following the swirls lower, into his pants. His dick twitching at the notion of use. Twirling the hair around his fingers, watching the front of his pants move, giving slight bits of friction to his quickly responsive dick. He groaned softly. Was he really about to jerk it to Eddie's porn?
He slowly wrapped his fingers around his cock, tugging lightly. He thought about Eddie there. What would Eddie think of Steve like this? Maybe he'd pull out the theatrics, like he used to in high school.
He imagined Eddie looking down at him. "You really think I'd want you, Harrington? With all that beastly hair? You look like a werewolf, man."
His dick twitched at the thought of Eddie looking at him with disgust. His eyes were getting misty.
"I don't even know how I'd get to that tiny cock through that thick jungle anyways. Truly a needle in a hairy haystack. The only thing you're good for is taking my load on those muscles."
That did it. Steve came with a weak cry, tears streaming down his face, thinking about Eddie's glistening cum on his stomach, soaking his belly fur.
The shower after was full of pitiful sniffles and more shame than Steve was used to. He felt empty.
The next week was full of more shame-wanks than Steve had ever done before. Night after night, Steve opening the magazine, finding more of his shortcomings, all ending in his hand around his dick and a pitiful cry in the shower. The nights following are full of fitful tossing and turning. He barely had the energy to do his hair in the morning.
By the 8th day of this Robin had rebooted the 'You Suck' counter. Steve couldn't really blame her. He had dropped VHSs, forgotten to tidy the break room, and worst of all, had snapped at Robin. He had gotten 3 strikes for that one.
"What's your damage, Steve? You're not being a real girl's girl right now. Plus you look like shit." Robin crossed her arms for emphasis.
"It's nothing."
"Truth, now." Robin leaned in. "Or I'm assuming you have brain cancer or something! You could even be a government replacement or something! What's my middle name? Wait... that's something the government would know. Where did I tell you I was a lesbian?"
"You're a lesbian?"
Robin's eyes widen in horror.
"The Starcourt bathroom, after the Russians. I'm me, I'm just distracted." Steve looks away from her. "I found a magazine in one of Eddie's books and it's freaking me out."
Robin scoots to be next to Steve. "Is it like... a porn magazine?"
Steve nods.
Robin cringes. "Are you freaked out in a 'this sex stuff is too weird' way, or in a 'this is gay and I don't like it way'?" She looks softly into Steve's eyes, obviously trying to be delicate with him.
"One of the guys looks like me, but he's like... not me? Maybe I'm making too big of a deal out of it." He starts to turn away from her.
"No! I'm sure it's weird to see that in a magazine, but it's just one picture, right? Could be a total coincidence."
"The page was marked. He'd definitely meant to come back to it."
She covers her mouth, eyes wide. "Oh that's..." She searches for the right thing to say before speaking. "Still, could be a coincidence! There are lots of guys with brown hair."
Later, at Steve's house, Robin stares at the page, mouth agape. "Steve this is... this guy looks A LOT like you. He's got your little chin moles and the basketball uniform, and the styled hair? I get why this squicked you."
"Squicked?"
"Made you feel gross. This is kind of shocking."
Steve pulls the magazine back to himself. "Well- I- I don't care if he's doing that to me." He's shaking a bit as he tries to collect his thoughts.
"You don't?" She raises an eyebrow, reaching towards Steve. "I don't think I understand."
"This guy isn't me! He's smaller, and better looking. Plus, he's like, HAIRLESS! Obviously Eddie would never want me if he likes this guy." Steve flops back, leaning limply against the wall.
"Woah woah woah!" Robin puts a hand on Steve's arm, rubbing soothingly. "Steve pause the negative self-talk for a second. Do you WANT Eddie to want you like that?"
Steve ceases for a moment. "I don't- It's not-"
Robin pats his arm. "It's okay if you do."
"No! It's not!" Steve sits up quickly, Robin having to jump out of the way. He hides his head in his hands, stressfully rubbing his face as his voice grows small. "It's not. He wouldn't-" His voice trembles. "He wouldn't want a guy like me. He wants a guy like that."
Robin reaches over to rub his back. "Steve, I know you're sleep deprived, and it seems like you're suffering through your first gay crush, but I promise you that you and that guy are much more similar than you are different. Even though I think it's really gross that Eddie is doing things while thinking about you, you seem to want that! And that's totally and completely okay."
Steve peeks out from behind his hands. "What if Eddie doesn't want me, though?"
"Stephen Maurice Harrington, you are the biggest idiot in the entire world if you think that Edward Munson is not" she takes a breath, cringing "crazy horny for you if he was willing to find a sporty soft-core porn magazine with a guy who looks so much like you that it grossed me out to see him in the position he's in." She folds her arms again, looking down her nose at him. She raises an eyebrow expectantly.
"Do you think I should talk to him?"
"Steve, I say this as your best friend. Go do him."
Hours later, Steve is on Eddie's doorstep. The newer, nicer, double-wide trailer in front of him suddenly much more imposing than it was last week. He brings his hand to the door, lowering it and turning around before hearing it open behind him.
"Steve? Robin said you were coming. What's going on?"
Dammit, Robin. There was no way to escape now. He plastered his trademark King Steve smile on before spinning around. "Hey! Yeah, I remembered I forgot to return your book." He offers Eddie back his book, knuckles white with stress. "I didn't get around to completing the character, but maybe we can hang out next week, and you can help? Unless you're busy or something. It's totally up to you, man." He crosses his arms to put something between him and Eddie, stepping back.
Eddie raises an eyebrow. "Steve, you know I'm not doing anything. Is this about Rocky? I told you that this was going to make things weird." He hugs his book to his chest, using his other hand to lean on his cane. "If you're going to be homophobic about it, can we just forget about it?"
"I can't forget about it, Eds." Steve shakes his head.
Eddie cringes, starting to lean back to close the door, losing his balance a bit. The book slips from his grasp, falling in slow motion as Steve grabs after it. It slips through his fingers, the pages fanning open enough to allow the magazine to slip to the ground first. The book thudding to the concrete next to it. They both stare, at a loss for words.
Eddie covers his face defensively with his arm. "Steve I- I can explain. I'm so sorry that was in there. I totally forgot about it and- and- I would NEVER make a pass at you. You have to understand! I'm not like- like THAT!" Eddie looks like he wishes he could disappear into oblivion. If he still had the running power, Steve was sure he'd be down the block by now.
"You wouldn't?" Steve deflates. Of course he wouldn't.
Eddie's arm drops. "What?"
Steve bends down, stacking the mag on top of the book. "Robin said, she said the guy in the magazine looked exactly like me. That you... you probably liked me. I knew that I wasn't your type. It's okay." He offers Eddie a weak smile, he tries and fails to stop his chin from trembling. This hurt more than Nancy, more than anything.
Eddie pushes the book out of the way. "Steve." He takes a deep breath, his shaking calming down a bit. "Do you want it to be you?"
"He's thinner than me, though. I mean, I get it if that's your thing. He's thinner, way less hairy, his dick is- Well, you know, not a lot of guys are that big." Steve looks at the little bundle of dandelions in one of Wayne's mugs on the table by the door. Anything to avoid Eddie's eyes.
Eddie lets out a nervous laugh. "Steve. Steve. Look at me." He waves his hand in front of Steve's face, trying to get him to disengage from his self-hatred fixation. "I don't care about that stuff."
Steve looks into the curly-haired boy's eyes. "You don't?"
"Nah, I mean, not as much as some other people might. I like muscley guys as much as the next homo, but beggars can't be choosers in small towns."
"So you're settling for me?"
"Jesus, Harrington. Who pissed in your cheerios? No. I'm saying you're super fucking hot, like, way hotter than some guy in a magazine." He fidgets with his cane, tapping it on the floor, laughing nervously. "I've had that magazine since, like junior year. I forgot it was in that book."
"Did you have that page marked that whole time?" Steve holds his breath, his eyes sparkling as he looks at Eddie.
"Y-yeah? It's really embarrassing. I used to have this weird fantasy where you'd like, be one of those homophobic bullies who turned out to be gay and you'd do a bunch of nasty stuff with me. Again, it's very super embarrassing, actually. You totally don't have to do any of it with me if you don't want to." He tucks a curl behind his ear, looking at Steve sheepishly.
Steve laughs, leaning in to kiss Eddie. It's just an innocent peck, their lips meeting as their eyes close. Eddie's lips are softer than Steve expected. "I want to hear about it. We might try some of it out."
"Careful there, Stevie, you're gonna get my hopes up."
"And about the dick thing?"
"Steve, trust me, I am totally fine handling average."
"What about like, slightly above average?"
Eddie stumbles for a second time. "So the legends are true!!" He laughs.
(Edit: For those asking, the fic that inspired this is "Driving with the Devil" by objectlesson on AO3.)

The Hall of Amazing Men: Branscombe Richmond
Tumblr media
A new admission to the Hall of Amazing Men, Branscombe Richmond is best known for being an actor where he played Lorenzo Lamas’s friend, the Lando Calrissian-like sharpie Dallas Sixkiller, or as Moki, the smartmouth Hawaiian friend of Magnum, P.I. But behind the camera, as a tough as nails stunt coordinator and stuntman, Branscombe Richmond created and developed nearly all the eccentric and eye catching events in the TV series American Gladiators: Atlasphere (the one where people roll around in giant balls), Powerball (done simply because they needed a sport that could be created cheaply because they ran out of money for development) and all the various ones where musclemen shoot tennis balls at people, and where you have to avoid muscular women by jumping on a bungee cord. I don’t think it would be inaccurate to say that with his development (on a really thin budget, no less) of memorable, eye catching sports and events that, with his stunt training he knew could be done safely enough so that even kinda-sporty housewives from Illinois could do them without injury, Branscombe Richmond created American Gladiators. He turned an idea into a realized, practical show that can be done – I don’t think it is inaccurate at all to call him the uncredited creator of American Gladiators.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In his career as a stuntman, Branscombe Richmond, meanwhile, is another one of those faces that shows up over and over playing evil henchmen, members of motorcycle gangs in rough biker bars the hero brawls with karate (if there’s ever a rough scummy biker bar out there, you can bet Branscomb Richmond is in it), and hordes of nunchaku wielding ninja, to the point where if you are, like me, an 80s-90s action aficionado, his face makes you go “oh, hey…it’s that guy!” Can you really call yourself an action fan if you don’t start identifying “your” evil henchman? His IMDB page is mostly roles that are named “Gunman In Jeep,” "Biker #2," and "Terrifying Clown."  
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If there is a Evil Henchman Hall of Fame, Brandscomb is there alongside the great Al Leung. You can spot his face as a henchman in Never Too Young to Die (with John Stamos), Action Jackson, Batman Returns, the Hidden, Iron Eagle III: Aces High (objectively the best one as it had Ms. Olympia Rachel McLish), and Star Trek III, where he was a Klingon henchman to Christopher Lloyd who almost got disintegrated and had to feed his disgusting slimy monster dog-salamander. It's comforting to know the profession of henching is alive and well 300 years in the future.
Tumblr media
On television, Brandscomb Richmond was on every single cool show from the 80s: Tales of the Gold Monkey, TJ Hooker, Manimal, Airwolf, Knight Rider, Baywatch, and many times attempted to kill the A-Team, especially from motorcycles. Like Chiba, another stuntman-actor, Branscombe Richmond specialized in motorcycle stunts, and he was admitted to the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2003. He is, to this day, the guest of honor at whatever motorcycle rally your embarrassing hick uncle attends. I have no evidence for this, but I have long suspected that the reason Richmond was hired to be Dallas Sixkiller in Renegade with Lorenzo Lamas was so they could get his unpaid advice on motorcycle stunts (much like how I have always suspected Warner Brothers hired Ben Affleck as Batman as a "backdoor" way to ask him to direct).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He also played the older brother of the Rock in the Scorpion King, which is an interesting choice because despite getting roles as American Indians (and being beloved in the American Indian community, who, as a whole, deeply love characters who are smartmouth, wiseass sharpies/scammers who get one over on everyone), Brandscome Richmond is in fact, like the Rock, of Hawaiian origin. His first major role in television, that of Moki in Magnum PI, was in fact Hawaiian.
Tumblr media
Why are there so many Pacific Islanders in stuntman careers, MMA, and professional wrestling? The answer is surprisingly pedestrian. It’s because Pacific Islanders are a sizable ethnic population in Los Angeles, where movies and television are made, so if you need someone in L.A. that are tough as nails and can take a hit, a Samoan or Hawaiian is a good choice.
Tumblr media
Happily, Branscombe Richmond is alive and well, mostly retired as a traditionally large Hawaiian family patriarch. He does occasional voice work, as Gibraltar in Apex Legends, a character physically based on him as well. I imagine he is relieved to be working in showbiz and no longer risking brain damage to do it.

Someone very simple, not too attached to him, that would be fun, adventurous, up for anything, and would help him relieve his stress. He isn’t looking for anything serious right now. He likes his partners confident and feisty, a bit wild, very straightforward. Light hearted but sassy and a bit reckless sort of energy. He likes a challenge but it shouldn’t be too tiring either. Sporty, loud, who enjoys the outdoors, full of life, competitive, hot headed partners. People who aren’t too emotional or sensitive, nor too boring or too deep, at least he doesn't want to have to deal with that side of them. Someone he has a lot of chemistry with. sagittarius, gemini, aries, mars

SUNOO
Personality: justice, 5 of wands, high priestess
Someone fair, honest, with strong moral integrity, who sticks to their beliefs, who is open minded and treats everyone equally, still someone who could be rather competitive, confident, assertive, protective, possessive, he wouldn’t mind someone a bit jealous. Someone who is a bit mysterious, magnetic, sexy, alluring, seductive. Someone who can be very charismatic and impressive. I feel like this could be a specific person that he’s still trying to get to know. He wants that karmic soulmate type of relationship, maybe a secret relationship. He wants to stare at someone across the room and know that this will be the start of a passionate affair.  libra, aquarius, scorpio, aries
