My Favorite Rockabilly Bands/Artists

Rockabilly being a relatively unpopular genre I thought it'd be useful for anyone wanting to listen to it to know a bit about some bands. These mostly aren't super popular bands or artists but they're ones I love and that's what matters.

The Playtones

The Playtones is a Swedish danceband and rockabilly band. It's a strange combination but it works. Even their album titled "bugg" (a Swedish dance often danced to danceband music) is rockabilly. They're really modern with their latest album coming out in 2015 and their first 2010. My favorite song of theirs is The King which is about a guy who's just so good at dancing everyone falls in love with him.

"Makes the dancefloor cooking, makes the hot girls looking, and he couldn't tell you how."

"They call him the king of moonlight, the king of dreams. They call him the king of hearts that's why they scream."

Matchbox

You've definitely heard me mention Matchbox before. They're a British rockabilly band from the 70s who are still active today! My favorite song of theirs is Back-Row Romeo because it employs my favorite part of rockabilly which is the thing I call a voice crack on purpose bc I can't find the name (it's basically when just a syllable of a word is way higher than the rest making the lyrics sound really bouncy). It's inappropriate for sure but you have to expect that from rockabilly.

"All the girls'll tell ya, I'm a fancy fellow."

"Oh you wanna see me when I'm at a movie, got no competition, and I won't have it any other way."

Eva Eastwood

Eva Eastwood is a Swedish rockabilly singer whose best work is unfortunately in Swedish. She's still active today and released her newest album is from 2016. My favorite song she's made is Han är Kung but most of you won't understand that so I will instead talk about my favorite English song which is My, My, My which is a bit more pop than her Swedish stuff.

"I've got an urge to change but I feel like nobody is ready, and it's making it hard for me to ride on the flow."

"Well, we stay so steady on a solid ground 'til we lose our fate and we lose our minds."

Top Cats

Oh yes it's another Swedish rockabilly band who are still active today. They have a very stereotypical rockabilly sound with just a few instruments and unfortunately for me pretty stable vocals (they do sometimes go up but not far enough for it to be noticeable enough for the rockabilly swing (yes I am constantly renaming this feature)). Fun fact: they've covered The King. My favorite song is Heartache.

"My heart is bleeding, I aint got no cure."

"Love has made a mistake. Love has done me wrong."

Imelda May

I know I just discovered her today but sometimes all it takes for me to know I like an artist is a single song. She's Irish and simultaneously very unique and very rockabilly. She leans more towards swing than rock'n'roll and it's quite nice to listen to even though it's sometimes too slow for me. Her vocals are very bouncy and it makes me very happy. I've only listened to like 4 songs but so far my favorite is Tainted Love bc it's got that thing I really like (not as much as I'd like or as pronounced as I'd like but it's there).

"Now I know I've got to run away. I've got to get away."

In all my years in the US Army I fought to support and Defend our US Constitution as expected or ordered by folks above me for Justice, Peace & Liberty, which meant that:

If you don't like Gone With The Wind because you find it racist that it depicts a Black woman as the servant she was as written in this FICTIONAL novel, then don't watch it.

If you antiA2, antiViolence and antiGun and don't like Elmer Fudd shooting Buggs Bunny, a grey rabbit or Daffy Duck, as black duck, you don't let you kids watch that cartoon

If you have issues with porn, homosexuals, lesbians, trans-something or anything else you find sexually perverse, you don't watch anything new from sitcoms to cartoons and from reality to fiction, because it's included in everything now, and just watch old reruns.

If you don't want to leave your home, then don't or if you do, you do.

If you don't like someone else's views, then don't listen, you don't turn to that channel or Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or whatever...

If you want to Vote, you Vote for who you want and if you don't, you don't.

You just decide what or who you allow in your home, social media, work space, city, state, nation and anything not allowed is illegal and Not authorized.

What I didn't Fight for was or is for anyone to tell me what to, when to do it and how to do it; what is or isn't offensive; and what I can or can't say, name, write, or do. That's what I signed up for in the military (I just didn't realize how much Rights I gave up till it was too late) and what happens when you LOSE YOUR RIGHTS in PRISON or JAIL.

You don't have to silence people, rename junk, erase or attempt to Rewrite history, remove statues, monuments, flags, symbols, arts, movies, books, etc...or cancel our culture to feel "safe" in America or to erase Evil, Sin, Racism, Hate, or anything else.

That my friends is Socialism or some form of Dictatorship. 😞 REBTD

First of all: technically that's not an East German thing. Bavaria does that to.

And I'd like to add another thing that buggs me and is also sometimes discussed around Tag der deutschen Einheit. This weird othering of East Germans around the time. The week leading up to the 3rd of October could just as easily be renamed "national we ask East Germans about their feelings about the world week, bc they have more problems so it's clearly something wrong with them" (this really goes back to all major news outlets being situated in West Germany) In general, I moved from West to East 2 years ago. And honestly there's not much of a difference. However, my family are big Wessis, and so are my parent's friends and I have been asked the question "well, how is it there (read: in scary scary East Germany where people eat children, steal bananas from your shopping cart and will kill you for sport) how are the people" and like, compared to that my talks with East Germans about whatever differences there are were much more matter of fact stuff. Just normal life stories in which an authoritarian regime was a fact of reality, not a fear-inducing thing on the other side of a wall that is manned by people who do everything in their power to make you know they could make you disappear right then and there without facing any repercussions.

And lastly there was quite a large number of people opposed to reunification. Fearing it happened to fast (well ..) and would therefore lead to an extremely dire economic situation (oops) and overall it would not be a reunification of two countries but one country joining another one (hmm). It's important to note that the peaceful revolution was first and foremost a revolution "für ein offenes Land mit freien Menschen" (for an open country with free people), that's the main thing everyone in those protests agreed upon. It was not a revolution against socialism or for a unified Germany. There were people in that movement who were in favour of those things. But it's not what the Monday demonstrations as a whole were about.

And I don't think we're gonna get past this current stage until 1) this whole part of the story is common knowledge and accepted by everyone and 2) the normal questions in light of reunification aren't "How did life for East Germans change?" and "Where did we go wrong int this endeavour?" but also "How did life for West Germans change?" and "How can we now improve on the things that went wrong back then? How can we make up for them?" Before that there's no true reunification. But for that to happen you'd actually need a feeling of community on a national level. And that is the biggest red flag of them all. And sure, people of my generation don't harbour these resentments or at least not in the same way their parents did who grew up in a country who's biggest enemy is now part of the country they live in. But they learnt their stereotypes from those parents. And they have new ones, like "East Germans are lazy and political extremists." I don't think "let's wait and not talk about the thing and it will go away on its own" is a great idea, bc it doesn't help.

Idk, I'm rambling, but I'm always home on October the third (bc birthdays) and the way people talk about this whole thing is driving me nuts. Especially considering the reunification was decided upon in the East by a government that hadn't been democratically ratified. Like people don't talk about how insane it was to rush an enormous undertaking like that in just 11 months. "There was only a small window of time" my ass, maybe that should make you think about how good of an idea that whole thing was. If the window of time is small, bc you're at the beginning of an uprising against the thing you're trying to do maybe don't do the thing.

Okay since I remember one of the asks that  disappeared, it was about what the situation is like between East Germany and West Germany today and if there are linguistic or cultural differences. (For one, if you’re interested in this, I really recommend the film Goodbye, Lenin, it’s a classic and it’s exactly about this subject and really funny and sad)

Cal. Gov. Blocks Cop Killer's Parole

California's new Governor has taken the criminals' side against the victims on nearly every major criminal justice issue in recent years, so it was a pleasant surprise to learn that he blocked the parole of San Diego cop killer Jesus Cecena. Mark Saunders has this story for KGTV (ABC 10, San Diego).

Cecena was convicted of killing SDPD officer Archie Buggs in 1978, after shooting the 30-year-old officer four times during a traffic stop in Skyline before killing him with a final shot at point-blank range, according to the DA's office.

So why wasn't he sentenced to death? He was 17 at the time, and California law has precluded the death penalty for under-18 murderers throughout the modern era (i.e., post-Furman). Life without parole was available, though, so at least we can rest easy he will never be released, right?

No, the California Legislature provided for going back and resentencing those old LWOP cases, and Cecena's sentence was reduced to seven-to-life, making the 57-year-old eligible for Youthful Offender Parole. Really. And the Parole Board (or whatever that oft-renamed body is called this week) granted it.

California has an unusual law allowing the Governor to block parole in some cases, though, and the new Gov. exercised that authority. Well, good for him.

"This defendant killed an on-duty police officer in cold blood and in spite of his claims to the contrary, he still lacks honest insight and remorse into this heinous crime," [DA Summer] Stephan said in a release. "We appreciate the Governor's thoughtful analysis and ultimate decision to reverse parole and safeguard the public. Officer Buggs was one of the first African-American police officers in San Diego and he was a hero to his family, his law enforcement colleagues and to the entire San Diego community. We will continue to fight for justice."

Cecena has been denied parole at least 13 times, the latest being 2017, 2016, and 2014, each time citing the seriousness of his crime. The DA's office added Cecena has had an unstable social history in prison, receiving more than 10 violation reports for misconduct.

I won't deny there are some cases where a murderer may properly be paroled after both demonstrating true remorse and maintaining an exemplary record in prison, but that does not seem to be the case here. It is good to block one bad decision, but some systemic reform is needed.
