#...okay this poll may have just been an excuse for me to rave about the things Sparks were up to in 2007#(dangit forgot to add the option of them joining facebook...)#sparks#sparks (band)#russell mael#ron mael#honestly. what a year.#I myself haven't even decided what I am going to vote for#the posh spice story being published as news on their own website is a very strong contender though#but SPARS is iconic (even my non-fan sister loves SPARS)#21x21 was a stroke of brilliance#the when I'm sixty-four performance is a thing of beauty#waterproof umbrella. the predecessor to them selling Sparks fans. (merch game insanely strong)#I don't like alvin and the chipmunks at all but it is funny as hell that that happened#a cd after 30 years for their 7th album called introducing sparks. heck I love it.#2007#posh spice#alvin and the chipmunks#spars#when i'm sixty-four#the beatles

Now that Neil Gaiman is being exposed for being an abuser can we talk about how he won the Newbery in 2009 even though since a whole chapter was previously published (and received another award) it shouldn't have qualified?
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 2009
GRAVEYARD BOOK TO BE STRIPPED OF NEWBERY?
For the first time in history, a title selected for the highest honor in children’s literature, the John Newbery Medal, may be stripped of the prize. This past weekend, a committee of concerned librarians convened in Chicago with a petition demanding the American Library Association revoke the medal given to Neil Gaiman’s THE GRAVEYARD BOOK at the recent midwinter conference. At issue is the book’s eligibility for the award.
“The terms for the Newbery Medal are crystal clear,” states Carol Barbour of the Topeka Public Library, who is leading the anti-GRAVEYARD effort. “In order for a book to be eligible, it must be an original work published during the preceding year. If a book -- or even a portion of a book -- has been previously published it is considered out of contention.”
Ms. Barbour is referring to the fourth chapter of THE GRAVEYARD BOOK, titled “The Witch’s Gravestone,” which was previously published in at least two 2007 anthologies, WIZARDS : MAGICAL TALES FROM THE MASTERS OF MODERN FANTASY (Berkley) and M IS FOR MAGIC (HarperCollins.)
“Carol Barbour has no case,” says an ALA member, speaking on condition of anonymity. “Before a book can be considered for the Newbery, it must be thoroughly vetted by the Association for Library Service to Children. I’m quite sure that THE GRAVEYARD BOOK was deemed completely eligible in every regard. I can’t believe that anyone is taking this sideshow seriously.”
But the American Library Association apparently is taking Barbour’s complaint very seriously, even holding a rare closed-door meeting with her committee this past Sunday afternoon.
“It was insane,” said one ALA member in attendance. “Carol started the meeting by dramatically ripping the gold foil sticker off her copy of THE GRAVEYARD BOOK, then said that every librarian in the nation would soon be following suit when the award is revoked.”
Referring to Sunday’s closed-door session as “productive,” Barbour said, “I certainly wouldn’t be pressing this issue if Gaiman’s book contained just a few previously-published paragraphs, or even a short chapter. But “The Witch’s Headstone” is -- hello? -- forty-five pages in length and takes up nearly fifteen percent of the novel! When it was published in the WIZARDS anthology it won a Locus Award as the year’s ‘best novelette.’ Readers may approach THE GRAVEYARD BOOK expecting the literary equivalent of a gourmet meal, but what they’re really getting is Gaiman’s leftovers.”
Some ALA members have referred to Ms. Barbour as a “children’s book gadfly” who has tried to nominate herself for the Newbery, Caldecott
and other award committees many times in the past but has never received enough votes to serve on these juries. Some recall her aborted attempt to revoke the 2007 Newbery winner, THE HIGHER POWER OF LUCKY, because of its “unwholesome language.” Last year she protested Brian Selznick’s THE INVENTION OF HUGO CABRET winning the Caldecott because she considered it “too heavy for wee hands to hold.” But this year she seems to have found some major-league support in her attempt to bring down THE GRAVEYARD BOOK. The picture on the left shows a triumphant Barbour (in blue, holding Gaiman's book) after last Sunday’s meeting, posing with Shirley Sach of Ball State University, who served on the Newbery Committee that selected THE HIGHER POWER OF LUCKY and Lotta Shoppe of the Van Pelt Public Library, who was a member of the jury that awarded KIRA-KIRA the prize in 2005.
The American Library Association has issued a press release stating that the Association for Library Service to Children is “seriously” considering Barbour’s petition. If it takes the unprecedented move of revoking Gaiman’s award, they must decide whether a new winner will be selected -- possibly chosen from one of this year’s four Honor Books -- or whether 2009 will just go down in the record books as the first and only year in which no official winner was named.
Upon learning that his book may be stripped of the Newbery, author Neil Gaiman twittered, “@$#&! I might lose the @$#&ING NEWBERY! THIS IS SO @$#&ING AWFUL!”
When told of Gaiman’s comments, Carol Barbour rolled her eyes and said, “Isn’t that almost word-for-vulgar-word what he said when he thought he won the award? Hello? Even his tweets are repeats.”
The American Library Association has said they will make a ruling in this case very soon -- possibly as early as today, April 1, 2009.

That chapter won a Locus award in 2008 the year before it became a chapter I the graveyard book.
https://www.locusmag.com/2008/Locus_Awards_Winners.html
And that's not even going into the theories that the committee behind the Newbery was trying get extra attention by giving it to Gaiman on January 26, 2009 soon before the much anticipated Coroline was released on February 6, 2009.
#John Newbery Medal#2009#The Graveyard Book#Carol Barbour was right#The Witch’s Gravestone was previously published in two 2007 anthologies#That chapter is 45 pages long#And the Witch’s Gravestone previously won awards#The American Library Association#If some who knows the rules of award committees and cares enough about what qualifies is called a gadfly you know it's a woman

Some excerpts from an interview featuring Adam in Kerrang 1158
Via simplysonia on livejournal
#adam lazzara#2007#louder now#fred mascherino#mikey way#mcr#stories#interviews#magazine#wouldn't have pegged fred as the type!#well anyway. apologies for the crops and name censoring instead of the whole spread...#basically the other people involved were found to be human garbage years after this interview was taken and published#soooo. I didn't really want them on this blog at all if i could help it 😬#I don't think tbs was ever particularly close with either bands#seems like they just did this single tour with them and a few one off festival-ish shows

After 1536 the only bard to comment on affairs of state with any regularity was Lewys Morgannwg, who as unofficial poet laureate continued to praise Henry for his imperial qualities as the heir of Brutus and a second Charlemagne, and (in an allusion to the laws of 1534) for disciplining the unruly Welsh for their own good. The opportunistic poet who before the break with Rome had honoured the monastic vocation in an ode to the abbot of Neath now commended the king for suppressing the corrupt monasteries, and yet he did not entirely abandon his attachment to the traditional faith. After the fall of Anne Boleyn, who is held responsible for promoting the 'new religion', Lewys denounced her as a second Alice Rowena, whose corruption had betrayed the kingdom of the Britons in 'the treachery of the long knives.' In the same poem the king is urged to prefer local men before Englishmen of low breeding to high offices, for the sake of security and contentment of the realm.
British Consciousness and Identity: The Making of Britain, 1533-1707, edited by Brendan Bradshaw, Peter Roberts
#julia fox cited this poem as proof he was a supporter of coa/mary during anne's queenship...#i traced it to its original source and found that this wasn't the case; it was in keeping with the#government line in the wake of her downfall. and in keeping with expectation of what would result#i mean like it's not impossible that he was and used the new circumstances to reveal that#but if he was he kept it covert until the opportune moment; it wasn't thus really a poem of 'rebellion' against royal status quo / law#as she claimed. supporting hviii at that juncture was generally in conflict with supporting those in opposition to him .#granted that was 2007 and it didn't come up in HTF . so. advances .#*2012. whoops#from what i understand of prof gwynedd parry's summary of the poem as well#he also believes it was not published until 1536 ...and does not seem to believe its subtext was the promote princess mary#but rather to appoint welshment to position of high offices. granted that his summary was published 2019...#so idt that's what she was referencing.#*the promotion

fascinated by the weird space that technology exists in pokespe but particularly in the sinnoh arcs
#pokespe liveblog#these volumes would have been published between like 2007 and 2010#and there was a Lot of change vis a vis communication and tech culture during this time period#for the most part they've sidestepped this stuff but then you get curious moments like this#cellphone signal being an issue feels like. oddly anachronistic for a story published in ~2009#it wasn't because i was alive in 2009 and know what it was like#but historically 2009 feels very much part of the Smartphone Internet Everywhere era. just one of those things!

The author has a YouTube channel where he posts watercolor tutorials!
it’s a tragedy that dinotopia was adapted as a weird gritty looking tv movie with bad cgi when it’s, without exaggeration, the most ghibli any book has ever been
#yeah no dinotopia slaps#it unfortunately has some baked-in orientalism but over the course of the books (there are several!) gurney demonstrates that he's willing#to grow and adapt his views & so. i at least want to believe that he's learned since the last book was published in 2007#calling it ghibli is a bit misleading i think#dinotopia is utopian fiction (that's where the -topia comes from); ghibli deals in *pastoralism* but it doesn't really do utopias#but it's been a looooong time since i read the books#i should see if i can find them ...#dinotopia#james gurney
