Dylan O'Brien for Ami Paris 2023

[justinspoliticalcorner]

Peter Baker and Dylan Freedman at NYT:

Former President Donald J. Trump vividly recounted how the audience at his climactic debate with Vice President Kamala Harris was on his side. Except that there was no audience. The debate was held in an empty hall. No one “went crazy,” as Mr. Trump put it, because no one was there. Anyone can misremember, of course. But the debate had been just a week earlier and a fairly memorable moment. And it was hardly the only time Mr. Trump has seemed confused, forgetful, incoherent or disconnected from reality lately. In fact, it happens so often these days that it no longer even generates much attention.

He rambles, he repeats himself, he roams from thought to thought — some of them hard to understand, some of them unfinished, some of them factually fantastical. He voices outlandish claims that seem to be made up out of whole cloth. He digresses into bizarre tangents about golf, about sharks, about his own “beautiful” body. He relishes “a great day in Louisiana” after spending the day in Georgia. He expresses fear that North Korea is “trying to kill me” when he presumably means Iran. As late as last month, Mr. Trump was still speaking as if he were running against President Biden, five weeks after his withdrawal from the race. With Mr. Biden out, Mr. Trump, at 78, is now the oldest major party nominee for president in history and would be the oldest president ever if he wins and finishes another term at 82. A review of Mr. Trump’s rallies, interviews, statements and social media posts finds signs of change since he first took the political stage in 2015. He has always been discursive and has often been untethered to truth, but with the passage of time his speeches have grown darker, harsher, longer, angrier, less focused, more profane and increasingly fixated on the past.

According to a computer analysis by The New York Times, Mr. Trump’s rally speeches now last an average of 82 minutes, compared with 45 minutes in 2016. Proportionately, he uses 13 percent more all-or-nothing terms like “always” and “never” than he did eight years ago, which some experts consider a sign of advancing age. Similarly, he uses 32 percent more negative words than positive words now, compared with 21 percent in 2016, which can be another indicator of cognitive change. And he uses swearwords 69 percent more often than he did when he first ran, a trend that could reflect what experts call disinhibition. (A study by Stat, a health care news outlet, produced similar findings.) Mr. Trump frequently reaches to the past for his frame of reference, often to the 1980s and 1990s, when he was in his tabloid-fueled heyday. He cites fictional characters from that era like Hannibal Lecter from “Silence of the Lip” (he meant “Silence of the Lambs”), asks “where’s Johnny Carson, bring back Johnny” (who died in 2005) and ruminates on how attractive Cary Grant was (“the most handsome man”). He asks supporters whether they remember the landing in New York of Charles Lindbergh, who actually landed in Paris and long before Mr. Trump was born.

He seems confused about modern technology, suggesting that “most people don’t have any idea what the hell a phone app is” in a country where 96 percent of people own a smartphone. If sometimes he seems stuck in the 1990s, there are moments when he pines for the 1890s, holding out that decade as the halcyon period of American history and William McKinley as his model president because of his support for tariffs. And he heads off into rhetorical cul-de-sacs. “So we built a thing called the Panama Canal,” he told the conservative host Tucker Carlson last year. “We lost 35,000 people to the mosquito, you know, malaria. We lost 35,000 people building — we lost 35,000 people because of the mosquito. Vicious. They had to build under nets. It was one of the true great wonders of the world. As he said, ‘One of the nine wonders of the world.’ No, no, it was one of the seven. It just happened a little while ago. You know, he says, ‘Nine wonders of the world.’ You could make nine wonders. He would’ve been better off if he stuck with the nine and just said, ‘Yeah, I think it’s nine.’”

[...] The former president has not been hobbled politically by his age as much as Mr. Biden was, in part because the incumbent comes across as physically frail while Mr. Trump still exudes energy. But his campaign has refused to release medical records, instead simply pointing to a one-page letter released in July by his former White House doctor reporting that Mr. Trump was “doing well” after being grazed by a bullet in an assassination attempt. How much his rambling discourse — what some experts call tangentiality — can be attributed to age is the subject of some debate. Mr. Trump has always had a distinctive speaking style that entertained and captivated supporters even as critics called him detached from reality. Indeed, questions have been raised about Mr. Trump’s mental fitness for years. [...]

Mr. Trump’s complexity level has remained relatively steady and has not diminished in recent years, according to the analysis. But concerns about his age have heightened now that he is trying to return to office, concerns that were not alleviated by his unfounded debate claim about immigrants “eating the pets” in a small town. Polls show that a majority of Americans believe he is too old to be president, and his critics have been trying to focus attention on that. A group of mental health, national security and political experts held a conference at the National Press Club in Washington last month on Mr. Trump’s fitness. The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group of former Republicans, regularly taunts him with ads like one calling his debate with Ms. Harris “a cognitive test” that he failed.

Mr. Trump has appeared tired at times and has maintained a far less active campaign schedule this time around, holding only 61 rallies so far in 2024, compared with 283 through all of 2016, according to the Times analysis, although he has picked up the pace lately. He appeared to nod off during his hush-money trial in New York before being convicted of 34 felonies. Experts said it was hard to judge whether the changes in Mr. Trump’s speaking style could indicate typical effects of age or some more significant condition. “That can change with normal aging,” said Dr. Bradford Dickerson, a neurologist at Harvard Medical School. “But if you see a change relative to a person’s base line in that type of speaking ability over the course of just a few years, I think it raises some real red flags.”

[...]

In 2011, as he was contemplating a run for the presidency, Mr. Trump addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference and sounded more partisan notes. While many of the themes would be familiar to today’s voters, he stuck closer to his script and finished his thoughts more often. His speeches in 2015 and 2016 were more aggressive, but still clearer and more comprehensible than now, and balanced with flashes of humor. Now his rallies are powered as much by anger as anything else. His distortions and false claims have reached new levels. His adversaries are “lunatics” and “deranged” and “communists” and “fascists.” Never particularly restrained, he now lobs four-letter words and other profanities far more freely. The other day, he suggested unleashing the police to inflict “one really violent day” on criminals to deter crime. He does not stick to a single train of thought for long. During one 10-minute stretch in Mosinee, Wis., last month, for instance, he ping-ponged from topic to topic: Ms. Harris’s record; the virtues of the merit system; Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s endorsement; supposed corruption at the F.D.A., the C.D.C. and the W.H.O.; the Covid-19 pandemic; immigration; back to the W.H.O.; China; Mr. Biden’s age; Ms. Harris again; Mr. Biden again; chronic health problems and childhood diseases; back to Mr. Kennedy; the “Biden crime family”; the president’s State of the Union address; Franklin D. Roosevelt; the 25th Amendment; the “parasitic political class”; Election Day; back to immigration; Senator Tammy Baldwin; back to immigration; energy production; back to immigration; and Ms. Baldwin again.

This New York Times article today calling out Donald Trump’s cognitive decline that has impacted his speeches over the past year or so is a powerful must-read as to why Americans shouldn’t put this senile fascist back in office.

When LOOPiN eventually disbands, and we're talking like when they reach their mid and early 30s because I think after 2024 + their military enlistment era they will still have a good one or two years before they fully branch off:

Taesong's going to become a radio host while he's still under RareRhy + focus on raising his family with his then wife Yunhee - I'm pretty sure they will have like, 3 kids;

Minwoo's pretty obviously getting over his premature 2024 retirement and working as a music producer again - he's officially signed to A Company (important), but he doesn't rap or sing unless it's in very special features for his friends. And even less surprisingly he's eventually becoming roommates with J.J both in their house in Korea and their apartment in Hong Kong;

Seungsoo is becoming the CEO of his very own entertainment company - probably going to steal a lot of employees from RareRhythm and MBN. He'll 100% make the next greatest girl group of all time. I think romantically he'll keep on being a serial dater until he dies, probably will get a kid out of one of these endeavours just because I think he will be a pretty good dad;

Haruki is becoming a full time choreographer/trainer for Soo's company, and surprise surprise! He's going back to college as a 30 something and studying art history. He'll pretty much retire from publicly appearing as a singer or model. I want to imagine he'll end up with Sejin far, faaaar into the future but honest to God I don't know if Haruki is the type to give second chances to anyone even in his most mature form;

On a similar vein to Haruki, Gyujin is also not staying as an Idol on his own - he's a team player, he would hate it bad. He will open his own little studio and teach Yoga like he does best, maybe even work to be a physical therapist later on? I see him staying single :( because I still don't know what Gyujin wants when it comes to romance. Maybe he'll always want nothing on that department and that's that;

Dylan's final love will always be filmmaking and he's going to make some extremely poetic and inspired movies that will go to Cannes and shit. I also see him working as a concept director under 'Seungsoo Ent', but not full time - Seungsoo will never give a group of his lore. I always see him going back to the US for a while, specially to catch his grandparents final moments, but ultimately he's made too much of a life for himself in Seoul to not call that his home too. I'm still uncertain about him and Furumi and how far they'll go, but I don't think she stays on his life that long as a partner - but as friends, yes! None of the Fukunaga sibs will never leave him;

O.z will keep on being a highly requested producer, I see him getting very international while maintaining his soft spot for K-Pop. He'll also never stop realizing these insane sounding mixtapes. I see him leaving South Korea with Nico, of course, probably to New Zealand. I can't see them having kids anytime soon but hey! You never know what's the next crazy thing these two are going to do!;

Hanjae's becoming a full time actor, and he'll end up the busiest and most long time famous loop dude ever. It'll take him a good while to balance his work and personal life all on his own, but I like to imagine he's getting himself a great manager team - maybe even leaded by Han Qiong! I think he would still make music from time to time, but very spaced out between his dramas and movies;

J.J is going full time TV personality + magazine model + actor combo - in Korea, in China, in the US, this man is going to be everywhere doing a bit of everything. He lives primarily in Hong Kong but it's always traveling and running around the world while dragging Minwoo along;

Haegon's going solo, babyyyyy, and I mean it all the way. He's not signing to any company that has a loop dude under them, but that's just Haegon's personal journey! It'll be important to him to do a full restart without the guys for a change, but that doesn't mean he won't keep on cheering and meeting up with his bros. I see him crashing at the member's houses all the time between schedules and his many concerts.

M. Ward - A Man in the Moon, or, An Attempt at Translation

Music, theatre, canvas, the ballet or the screen; these are luxuries for so many of us. ‘Privilege’ might even be more apt given the notion that art is largely seen as ‘a thing to be enjoyed but which is not essential; a frivolity’. Ethan Hawke (of all people) recently gave my favourite articulation of why the arts are so necessary: because until you experience a feeling so incredibly deep that gives you cause to wonder, to think “has anybody else ever really felt like this?”, you have no way of knowing just how essential art can be.

“That’s when art is not a luxury, it’s actually sustenance”, he puts it.

Recently I got to see M. Ward perform his 20th anniversary tribute to his indie-folk magnum opus ‘Transfiguration of Vincent’. It’s a dark album peppered with fleeting spots of bright, written in the throes of grieving after the titular Vincent O’Brien, a friend of Ward’s, passed away. We don’t learn much of anything specific about Vincent over the course of the album, and nor should we. What we do experience over the album’s course, however, is the breadth of emotions Ward experiences in relation to his friend, and the downward spiral that accompanies those feelings as he watches Vincent’s gradual slip from the mortal coil.

Describing the album is difficult for me, because I find it difficult to ‘rate’ (a silly thing music lovers occasionally do), or ‘praise’ a work of art so subsumed in the grief of its artist and the tragedy of its subject. Talking about art in this way feels insulting at times, and never more so than for works as intimate as this. These are songs to be felt, not described.

And yet here is the paradox; I feel so strongly about this album and its artist that not evangelising it feels as impossible a task as explaining the effect it has on me.

Anyway, here we are.

On stage, Ward has a curious presence. He’s more idiosyncratic than charismatic, and instead carries himself with quiet confidence, and his guitar with a crooked left elbow. He isn’t particularly talkative, but the little he did say gave the impression of an incredibly humble man, and his husky voice and greying hair gives him this air of folksy charm that’s really quite, well, charming.

In interviews this seems to be much the case as well; in one radio interview from 2009 when asked how he would describe his then new album ‘Hold Time’ he answered (hilariously) “well, it’s my new album and some people will like it, some people won’t”. Other interviews also see him coming across as reserved and painfully shy about his creative process, not because he’s afraid of giving away trade secrets, but because he’s almost dismissive of the validity of his methods and his art. He’s wilfully determined to refrain from explanations of his art’s ‘meanings’ beyond vague outlines, as was the case for 2020’s ‘Migration Stories’, in his words a “sci-fi fast-forward to a more silent night many generations from here to a maybe-era where movement is free again”.

While much of this likely amounts to wild postulation about a man’s internal feelings, if there’s one accusation that’s easy to level at Ward, it’s that he’s an old soul. He’s cited Neil Young, Daniel Johnston, Billie Holiday, Howlin’ Wolf, and John Mahey as influences (“Transfiguration” is a reference to a Mahey album with a similar title), he records everything analogue, and even completes his demos on a Tascam four-track that he’s owned since his teenage years. Sonically his music evokes shades of Nick Drake, early Dylan, Jackson C. Frank and even Bowie at times. In today’s context, even the model of a solo singer-songwriter writing intimate analogue guitar music feels like an archetype on the brink of extinction.

Above all, Ward seems captured by the task of creating music as timeless as that of his predecessors.

The point that I suppose I’ve been dancing around in all this exposition is that M. Ward’s music has affected me very deeply.

I’ve spent so much of recent years trying to consume as much music as I can, chasing new sounds and bizarre voices to fulfil some craving of curiosity that is never truly satiated for more than a short time. In all that noise, it’s a fortunate wonder I didn’t overlook Transfiguration of Vincent and other M. Ward projects for their unassuming modes. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully explain to someone the inward-puncturing existential grief that a song like “Dead Man”makes me feel, or the utter stillness that “Real Silence” gives me.

Crucially, though, I don’t think I need to try anymore. Writing this helps, for one, but it’s music like this that gives me the kind of unfathomable joys and sorrows that our friend Ethan Hawke was referring to. It’s music like M. Ward’s that reminds me why I need music, and though it may seem fairly obvious an observation (I suppose all the best ones are), it’s the reminder that some things cannot be described; they must be felt, transfigured by poets and writers into an essence distilled for the rest of us.

Stevie Dylan's birth to high school

Stefan Raphael Harkness, Aurora Four’s guitarist and main songwriter, also known as Stevie Dylan or “King” as his stage name, was born 29th of March 1998 to Nicholas and Lola Harkness. Nicholas Harkness always been a mysterious figure that we have just gotten answers to. At that moment in time, Nicholas Harkness was a business mogul and owner of Harkness incorporated, that had their hands from business world to entertainment industry. He was also known as a close friend of many public figures from politicians to millionaires. Lola Harkness, also known as Lola Ray, was an adult entertainer and a model two-decade junior of Nicholas. Lola was Nicholas’s fourth wife, and second affair turned marriage.

Nicholas Harkness also had a daughter from his second marriage named Evalyn Harkness, also a known key figure of the trial of Aurora Four. There are little proof of what kind of relationship the two had growing up, but, many have suspected it to be poor, considering the two were quickly to throw each other under the bus during the trial. We do know that Evalyn was highly favored by Nicholas because of her academic achievements and contributions to the Harkness incorpirated in her free hours. Every school Evalyn studied at has Nicholas Harkness donated gymnasium, library, or something else with his name on it. None of the art schools Stefan went had nothing like that.

There isn’t much of Stevie before he went by his nickname. Due to his father’s career, both kids were lived in pure social isolation, only appearing in photos of school friends or other friends. Stevie was popular of the kids, appearing in photos of dozens of parties and social gatherings, or just in a group pic of best friends that seemed to change every month.

Only place where you can see what kind of person Stevie was before high school was on tumblr, where an account called @Dylanreincarnated, who was going by the name Stevie Dylan before Aurora Four was even a thought. Some might think it’s a coincidence and the account were never proved, but the substance of the account is also more than enough proof in itself. Most of the posts on his tumblr were old quotes of 70s and 60s rockstars, aesthetic pictures of the lives from those same eras, and any resource for learning anything about music. It was almost like a stereotype. Here and there were posts about his unhappy homelife and toxic relationship with his father and sister. The last post is about how he had run away and was finally happy and free. No one really know if it was real. No one, but Stevie and the Aurora Four at least.

Them:

In her new music video, premiering at Them, Dylan Mulvaney puts a new spin on a rock-and-roll Christmas classic first popularized by none other than Elvis Presley, making out with a hunky trans love interest to the iconic “Blue Christmas.” The melancholy yet deeply sexy video for the cover song finds Mulvaney wearing a blue dress to match the title, sitting at a bar by herself when a handsome stranger (writer, actor, and model Kristofer Thomas) approaches. Before long, the two start shooting pool, then get hot and heavy in the bathroom — but as you might expect given the song’s somber tone, this is less a forever romance and more of a memorable one-time encounter. “I knew I wanted to make something special for Christmas, but it had been such turbulent year that I didn’t feel inclined to create something toxically positive or campy,” Mulvaney tells Them — and “turbulent” may be putting it mildly given the amount of transphobic prejudice the actress and content creator has endured in 2023. But “Blue Christmas” is the perfect note for Mulvaney to end her year on: Not only are we “in an Elvis era,” as she tells Them, the song’s aching melody reflects how many LGBTQ+ people feel during the holiday season: Lonely, yearning for companionship, and more than a little horny. The video, directed by Nick Laughlin, was shot at the Brooklyn queer bar Metropolitan — and it was inspired by personal experience.

Trans social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney has a new song out: a cover of Blue Christmas.

Dylan O'Brien for Ami Paris 2023

Likewise, but I'm even more grateful not to be a teenager (or twenty-something) in the era of private equity and large language models. Or the era before corrective lenses and antibiotics. Life marches on. Yes, TikToxic belongs in the trash - hopefully Dylan Hollis and Amaury Guichon will come here instead - but in the grander scheme of things it's sort of a blip.

how grateful i am to not be a teenager during the era of tiktok

Silvertone 1959 product publicity photograph, TV/phonograph. Silvertone 1966 Catalog page, guitars. It has been 30 years since Sears ended its association with the Silvertone brand, but the public's association is so strong to this day that many still believe Silvertone is a Sears brand. It is a testament to the success and quality of Sears' Silvertone products that the public still associates the two names so closely. The Sears Silvertone radio and Silvertone guitar, two highly collectible items today, are largely responsible for America's fond recollection of the Sears-Silvertone connection. In 1915, Sears introduced the Silvertone phonograph, a hand-cranked machine that came in tabletop and freestanding models. All phonographs came with a two-week, money-back guarantee. HISTORY: Sears began selling Silvertone radios in the early 1920s, soon adding Silvertone radio tubes and batteries to the product line. In the late 1930s, however, Silvertone radios quickly took off in popularity. The era corresponded with the outbreak of military aggressions in the Pacific theater. With the approach of World War II, increasing numbers of people wanted radios not just for entertainment, but also to receive updates on the war's progress, according to contemporary company sales analyses. During World War II, Sears introduced the Silvertone radio antenna with "stratobeam reception." And to help power the radios, Sears sold Silvertone wind generators. The Silvertone name replaced the Supertone brand on musical instruments in the 1930s. Struggling blues musicians of the 1940s and 1950s first popularized the Silvertone guitar, with legends such as Muddy Waters and Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup among those who played Silvertone. The Sears Silvertone guitar really made its mark in music history as the unofficial "first guitar" of guitar's icons. Chet Atkins, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix, among many others, played their first chords on a Sears Silvertone. Sears' guitars have even been immortalized by their mention in songs from artists as diverse as Mary Chapin Carpenter ("Girls With Guitars") and G. Love and Special Sauce ("Blues Music"). Silvertones were popular with young musicians because of their solid construction and inexpensive pricing. Their legacy lives on today as literally hundreds of Internet pages are filled with fond recollections from people of their first guitar, the Sears Silvertone. As with the Silvertone radio, Sears Silvertone guitars are considered prized pieces of many guitar collections, particularly models such as the 1963 "amp-in-case" guitar, which featured an amplifier built into the guitar's carrying case. Many other musical and audio items bore the Silvertone brand name. Sears introduced a Silvertone record label in the 1920s, featuring many of the era's most popular recording artists. In the 1950s and early 1960s, the Silvertone brand name appeared on all Sears electronic equipment, including console televisions, tape recorders, walkie-talkies, radio batteries, hearing aids and car radios.

Top Record Labels Changing Music Globally

The music industry is a dynamic and ever-evolving landscape, with record labels playing a crucial role in discovering, nurturing, and promoting talent. Labels act as the bridge between artists and audiences, shaping trends and setting new standards in the industry. Among these, some have made an indelible impact globally, becoming synonymous with musical excellence and innovation.

This article delves into the stories of iconic record labels that have transformed the music world. From regional champions like White Hill Music to global giants like Columbia Records, and the revolutionary power of platforms like YouTube, let’s explore how they continue to influence the global music scene.

The Rise of White Hill Music

In recent years, regional music has gained immense traction, and White Hill Music has been at the forefront of this cultural wave. Specializing in Punjabi music, White Hill Music has helped elevate local artists to international prominence. With a strong focus on quality and storytelling, the label has become a favorite among audiences who crave authenticity and emotional depth in their music.

White Hill Music’s success is not just limited to its impressive catalog of songs. Its contribution extends to promoting Punjabi culture worldwide, making it one of the most significant players in regional music. By leveraging platforms like YouTube and social media, White Hill Music has bridged the gap between local traditions and global audiences.

Columbia Records: A Legacy of Excellence

If one were to create a hall of fame for record labels, Columbia Records would undoubtedly occupy a place of honor. As one of the oldest and most prestigious labels, it has been home to countless legendary Columbia Records artists who have shaped the sound of generations. From Bob Dylan to Beyoncé, Columbia’s roster is a testament to its ability to adapt and thrive across decades.

Columbia Records has consistently been a trendsetter, embracing new technologies and business models to stay ahead of the curve. Whether it’s the vinyl revolution of the past or the digital streaming era of today, Columbia has always been at the forefront of innovation. Its dedication to nurturing talent and delivering quality music has cemented its reputation as a global leader in the industry.

YouTube: Breaking Records and Redefining Success

No conversation about the music industry would be complete without mentioning the role of YouTube. The platform has revolutionized how we consume music, giving rise to global phenomena and unprecedented success stories. Achieving the fastest 50 million subscribers on YouTube is no longer a feat reserved for global superstars; even independent creators and regional labels are reaching this milestone.

YouTube’s power lies in its accessibility and reach. For record labels and artists alike, it has become the ultimate platform to showcase their work, connect with fans, and monetize their content. This shift has democratized the music industry, allowing talent from all corners of the globe to shine.

The Role of Streaming in Modern Music

Streaming services have fundamentally changed the way music is consumed, and YouTube is at the heart of this transformation. Beyond videos, YouTube’s music-specific features, such as the YouTube Music Student Plan, offer ad-free streaming and offline downloads, catering to the tech-savvy, budget-conscious audience.

These features make music more accessible, particularly for students who are passionate about discovering new tracks and artists. By bridging the gap between affordability and premium features, YouTube ensures that music remains an integral part of everyday life for millions of users.

How Many Songs Are There in the World?

As the music industry expands, so does the sheer volume of music available to listeners. It’s hard to fathom just how many songs in the world exist today, with millions added to streaming platforms annually. This vast library is a testament to human creativity and the increasing accessibility of music production tools.

For record labels, this abundance presents both opportunities and challenges. While it allows for a greater diversity of content, it also necessitates innovative strategies to stand out in an increasingly crowded market.

Conclusion

Record labels, regional champions, and digital platforms together form the backbone of the music industry, each contributing uniquely to its evolution. Labels like White Hill Music and Columbia Records continue to inspire with their ability to adapt and thrive, while platforms like YouTube redefine success in the digital age.

As the music world grows more diverse and interconnected, the role of these entities becomes even more critical in shaping its future. What role do you think record labels and platforms will play in the next big shift in the music industry? Share your thoughts below!
