MASHLE ：author's Q&A from fan book translation

Please point out any mistakes or errors! I will correct them ASAP, thanks so much!

I will translate this in four parts as there‘s 131 questions in total！

Here are the Q1-Q33 parts!

To the animation fans: There are slight references to the subsequent plot of the comics‼ ️ (Q11 and Q17) Those who are not interested in spoilers can avoid it

Q1. I want to know the name of the pastry shop that Mash will open in the future!

In addition, can rough dough fans and wet dough fans tolerate each other?

A1: The name of the shop is Beard Maggio. Unfortunately, the two cannot be compared, and such struggles of human beings like us have never stopped.

Q2: Will Mash marry Lemon?

A2: It's up to you to imagine.

Q3: What would it feel like if Mash had a different hairstyle?

A3: No one would recognize Mash. Because my character portrait is in the style of Miss Sazae (a comic).

Q4: How strong is Mash‘s grip?

A4: 600 kilograms. Like a gorilla.

Q5: How heavy is Mash's wristband?

A5: One ton, about as heavy as a black rhino.

Q6: Why do owls hate Mash so much?

A6: I don't know why. I'm often barked at by dogs, so it's probably the same feeling.

Q7: How did Mash escape from the castle and be picked up and adopted by Grandpa Regulo?

A7: Of course by the effort!

Q8: Regulo always calls Mash "son", but why does Mash call Mr. Regulo "grandpa"?

A8: Because Regulo looks more like grandpa, similar to a nickname.

Q9: I heard that Mash wants to be a pastry chef, so will he make other desserts besides puffs? In addition, what professions will Finn, Lance, Dot, and Lemon do in the future?

A9: He should start learning other desserts in the future. Finn may be a civil servant...? Lance will be an incredible person, Dot will be a registered tax agent or accountant, and Lemon may be an idol!

Q10: What is the badge on the chest of Mash's black tights?

A10: It's an owl! (Annotate：The badge can be found in the comics but not in the animation)

Q11: Why was Mash's hair slicked back when he awakened? Why did his skin turn black?

A11: Because the blood circulation became faster, the skin turned black and red! The hair also turned upside down because of the blood circulation!

Q12: Is it just a coincidence that Matthew can't do magic? Or did the Pure Root do something before he was born?

A12: It's just a coincidence! That's how genes work!

Q13: Cell War and Mash have similar hairstyles and magic lines. When they get close, they will resonate and cause headaches. Could it be that the Innocent Zero deliberately created such a replica?

A13: That's right! Cell War is a replica!

Q14: Has Mash's iron wand been used by other wizards before? Or has the iron wand been on the ground since it was made and no one has used it?

A14: No one has ever used that wand, it's always stuck on the floor! We don't know who it was made for (crying).

Q15: Finn later became a one liner, so did his second line disappear and become ineffective (crying)

A15: He's still growing up, not yet a complete double liner, so the second line will only appear when he's desperate!

Q16: Which of the parents of the Ames brothers (Finn and Rayne) has black hair and which has blond hair? Or do both parents have two-color hair?

A16: Both parents have two-color hair!

Q17: Did the relationship between the Ames brothers improve when they got together in the last chapter of the comic?

A17: The older brother is a tsundere, but it seems that the relationship has improved!

Q18: Why did Finn call Ryane "Onii-sama"  instead of "brother"?

A18: It's because the two keep their distance, there's a gap...

Q19: Ryane and Finn have always kept their distance. After Ryane became a divine awakener, did Ryane pay for Finn's living expenses?

A19: Ryane is quietly taking a long detour to help his brother bear the responsibility! (Translator comment: So cute hahahahaha)

Q20: Lemon said that the family conditions are not good. How bad are they? Can you tell me her story?

A20: The stew at home has no seasoning and tastes very bland (crying).

Q21: If Lemon's secondth and third-level magic awakens, will torture instruments and appear?

A21: Torture instruments should appear... (crying). So scary（crying).

Q22: What is Lemon's best dish?

A22: Egg rice bowl! This is not easy to make...

Q23: Which do you think is cuter, Lemon or love cute?

A23: Lemon! I like short hair!

Q24: Are the planet earrings that Lance often wears a gift from his parents? Or did he buy them himself?

A24: He bought them himself. (Translator comment: you are so trendy Lance...)

Q25: How is Lance's relationship with his parents?

A25: It's always bad... (crying)

Q26: If Anna has a boyfriend, how will Lance react?

A26: He will die!

Q27: Does Anna know that Lance is a sister-con and has a lot of her peripherals? If she knows, what does she think?

A27: It's okay! That's it!

Q28: Will Anna come to Easton to study?

A28: Yes! (Yeah!)

Q29: I want to know the name of Dort's third-level magic

A29: Because the personal magic is explosion magic, it is to summon "God of Explosion-Vulcanus"!

Q30: What is Dort's sister doing now? In addition, is she covering her eyes because of fashion or for some reason? I want to know if she has other secrets.

A30: She‘s now working outside! Good women are mysterious! So the reason is a secret!

Q31: I want to know what snacks that eat with tea Dot recommends!

A31: Madeleine cake! (Translator's note: small shell-shaped cake)

Q32: Does Dot know that he has Ira Kreuz? In addition, are his family members also people with Ira Kreuz?

A32: He knows that he is. His family all have Ira Kreuz. I don't really know what it means to be a person with Ira Kreuz!

Q33: Is the Barrett family the only one with Ira Kreuz?

A33: In addition to the Barrett family, there should be others!

The Replacements - The Roxy, Los Angeles, California, December 17, 1985

Since I'm perpetually about six months behind, I only got around to really digging into that big Tim boxed set recently. First things first — it's great. The Rhino overhaul of the Replacements catalog has been done with an incredible amount of love and care, from unreleased material to live shows to deeply detailed liners from Bob Mehr, who knows the whole saga better than anyone (including the band members themselves, I'm thinking).

The semi-controversial aspect of the Let It Bleed edition is the Ed Stasium remix of Tim. One friend likened it to a Rick Springfield album. Others hailed its clarity and immediacy. Hey, if Gen X enjoys one thing, it's arguing about the Replacements. While I certainly don't mind hearing the album from a different angle, I'm going to say that the new remix is not definitive. As I get older, it feels like a key element of a lot of classic records is actually their weird / unusual / perhaps ill-advised mixing choices. From White Light/White Heat to Raw Power to Zen Arcade to Time Out Of Mind, a big part of what makes these albums special is that they sound kind of ... wrong? Maybe not wrong, exactly, but not like anything else. Unrepeatable, ineffable, totally mysterious. In a rich irony, perfect albums should be flawed to some extent. You know what I mean.

Anyway, the new Tim box comes with a smoking live set from early 1986. Here's something equally smoking from about a month earlier — the Replacements on the Sunset Strip. You would think that a show taking place on Bob Stinson's birthday would be a recipe for a legendary 'Mats disaster. But you'd be wrong! The shit hits the fan a few times, but the band keeps its together for the most part, even dispatching most of the covers in relatively tight fashion. And Bob himself is on fire pretty much throughout, sending insane spiraling riffs out over the crowd. On the breakneck closing "Customer" the guitarist sounds like he's ready to start the whole thing all over again. Thanks to Tapegeek for the tape!

Tapegeek: When I saw the Replacements at the Roxy in Los Angeles (12-17-85), I had seen (and taped) them twice in New York — once was so drunkenly bad it was great (CBGB), and one was really pretty great (Irving Plaza), so I must admit that I was a bit scared when we saw Paul walking over to Dan Turner's liquor store near the Roxy and then walking past all of us standing in line with what looked like a bottle of Jack Daniels in a paper bag — well, thankfully the 'Mats must have all balanced their "inebriants" appropriately, because they came out blasting on all cylinders — once again I was kind of far over on the right side with the mic taped to the wall…

DAY 21 - Rhinoceros/Spring

INK/PH-TOBER 2024

Actually looks good what???

Heyo everyone! Not too shabby of work today eh? (It's cuz I had coffee-)...

I had a few thoughts on how this was gonna turn out but I think it mostly looks so good because I actually did a margin sketch for it above the previous folded page. Margin sketches were basically a thing I did in middle school and when I was peek in my art and it helped plan the sketch out before I actually started drawing and I'm pretty sure they helped significantly so I've been trying them again latley. Don't have as much space for more but hopefully will start using them again in the future to help me out. Especially with all this brain fog.

The idea "sprung" from some flowers and a kind of SPRING action into the air with Flug. Literally. Was gonna have him observe the rhino but then realized it would be much better to do it like this. I really tried thinking of the topic itself and how I could implement the traits better. BH of course is ticking it off when Flug IS just trying to write down and study it. Pulling the tail in the back. The backgrounds have also been kind of similar because of the sort of matching environments and words. Hiking, mountains, stuff like that... so you might notice it a bit more in the last couple posts.

I should really get going now as my car only has 4 lines and I'm just sitting here writting pfft- Got some new liner pens so those should help me a tad more too!

Cya!

Psycho Analysis: The Wall

(WARNING! This analysis contains SPOILERS!)

Spidey Super Stories is what you get when you take Spider-Man from The Electric Company and give him a comic run of his own. It’s geared more towards kids, so there’s a lot wackier and out-there concepts on display, and is the originator of not only Spider-Woman (though not Jessica Drew), but also this:

And also this:

And, of course, the evildoer known as The Wall. Or more specifically, the Wicked Wall.

Now, here’s thing (and I ain’t talking about that other bricked-up superpowered Marvel character): The Wall is a villain in a Spidey series loaded with some of the wackiest and most bonkers one-shot villains ever put to page. Case in point: Thumper, the girl who dresses as Napoleon Bonaparte, wields a boxing glove, and is defeated by being gifted the pony she always wanted since she was a child, a villain who will definitely be getting one of these reviews someday soon. And then there’s the panels like the ones above, where we get the iconic Thanoscopter. How is The Wall supposed to compete with such iconic madness?

Motivation/Goals: My man Joshua here is, quite simply, a hater. He saw Spider-Man was having a day off, and decided, “Oh HELL no, if I gotta be a brick wall I’m making that his problem!”

And he does! In an impressive twist of fate, The Wall manages to get Spidey kicked out of the Mets game the poor hero was trying to enjoy! Sure, he’s kicked out too and he doesn’t seem particularly happy, but a Pyrrhic victory is still a victory. Kind of.

Final Fate: In a fate even the Kingpin would agree is far too cruel, The Wall… is kicked out of the Mets game alongside Spider-Man. They’re last seen moping outside the stadium together.

Best Scene: The guy’s on four fucking pages, let’s just say his entire existence is perfect. But if I’m singling out a tiny sequence, I think this one might be the funniest:

Of course, there's also the sheer comedy of his backstory, where he was a simple boy building a wall when suddenly it fell, somehow turning him into a monster. Maybe the cement was radioactive? It defies all logic in the best way:

Best Quote:

Final Thoughts & Score: The Wall is a great example of the weird, off-the-wall (heh) creativity utilized in comics at the time. He really has it all: A ridiculously punny name that kind of had his fate sealed from birth (Joshua Waldemeyer), no real reason for villainy, an absurd and nonsensical accident that created him that defies any and all logic, a ridiculous yet endearing design, and an endless supply of corny one-liners. This is what goofy one-shot villains should aspire to be.

Of course, that doesn’t leave me with much to talk about in regards to him; there’s no deep complexities or tragic backstories here, just a simple case of a goofy gimmick villain being a lot of fun due to an absurd design and a simple scheme. Unlike the last villain I reviewed, I’d say the relatively simple and straighforward gimmick of being a fucking wall was used to great effect, giving plenty of goofy puns and gags as well as utilizing his bizarre ability to be a nuisance. Like yeah, you could probably swap out The Wall with someone like Rhino or Juggernaut and get the same basic effect, but would it be nearly as funny?

A 7/10 is a fair score for this guy. He’s just a perfectly fun one-shot who, despite only a brief time in the spotlight, isn’t such a terrible idea he couldn’t work if brought back in some regard. Hell, they almost brought him back for Across the Spider-Verse, with his absence being the only thing holding the movie back from true greatness.

I think my only gripes with him are that he's only there for four pages, which while understandable is rather disappointing, but more importantly is that he's in a comic that seems filled to the brim with utter absurdity around every corner. After seeing the Thanoscopter, would you not be comfortably numb to a living mound of masonry? All in all, is he not simply another brick in the wall?

No you fucking goon, he IS The Wall itself. And nothing can take that away from him. If nothing else, I’m definitely going to have to look through more of these Spidey stories to see what other bonkers villains lie waiting for me.

Today's compilation:

Baseball's Greatest Hits 1989 Novelty / Swing / Pop / Jazz / Comedy / Folk / Singer-Songwriter

Well, folks, I gotta say that baseball and I really aren't on the greatest of terms right now. See, my Mets are currently in the fight of their life for a playoff wild card spot, and their MVP-caliber shortstop, Francisco Lindor, who prides himself on playing every day, is now nursing a back injury, and we don't yet know the severity of it, because as I'm currently writing this, me and this entire fanbase are awaiting the results of a very important MRI. And as a diehard Mets fan whose only really been raised on baseball heartbreak, I've been conditioned to only expect bad news at this point, knowing full well that even if his injury is minor and he's only out for a few games, that his absence at this highly critical point in the season has a pretty good chance of causing this club to miss the playoffs by a mere inch, even though they've been pretty much the best team in the league since Memorial Day, with a starting pitching staff that was not expected to be very good, but has somehow miraculously developed itself into the best one in the game, despite ace Kodai Senga only making a single appearance all season due to multiple injuries.

But even though I really don't wanna think too much about baseball right now (hah!), we still push on, because like it or not, this novelty album of baseball songs from Rhino Records—the first of its kind, they allege—happens to be the next album in my queue, and so here I am, regardless of my own mood and how I'm currently trying to cope in this moment, ready to write, objectively 😥.

So, first of all, and above all else, this is a fun album. Little of it consists of music that I would consider to be *good*, but that's not really the point of an album like this in the first place; we're here for goofy novelty, and boy, do we have a whole lot of it, from swingin' and showtuney and rockin' tunes about specific greats like Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays, Jackie Robinson, Mickey Mantle, and Hank Aaron; to jazz pianist Dave Frishberg's "Van Lingle Mungo," a song that, according to this albums own liner notes, became his most requested, even though its lyrics are literally only names of baseball players that he'd found in a baseball encyclopedia once, including that of Van Lingle Mungo himself. What a song to have your career defined by 😂.

But the absurdity of this album really only begins there, because in addition to that, we've got some peak 80s cringe here as well. Like, you know how so many people in that decade mistakenly thought it'd be a good idea to try their hand at rapping? Well, have a listen to legendary Yankees announcer Mel Allen rap the words 'that ain't no jive' on "Baseball Dreams," by Allen and a group called The Naturals. This song is like if one of those horribly cheesy 'just say no to drugs' anthems was made about baseball instead. A complete atrocity that reminds you just how much of this awful type of cheap and generic, keyboard-dominated ~sound~ was really floating around out there at the time. Fun to point and laugh at now, but holy shit, what terrible, terrible music this was!

And up until that very song on this album, I was set to write about how this is a great release for families to listen to in their car while on the way to a ballgame, so long as they don't go to more than a few games a year. But then I heard the next song, "Baseball Card Lover" by Rockin' Richie Ray, and thought otherwise, because while Richie provides the thinnest of pretenses that this song is merely about his love of baseball cards, what it's actually clearly about instead are his own fantasies about having wild sex with the players on those cards 🥵. So, uh...fun for the whole family, this album certainly is not.

Still, though, there are a few genuinely good songs on here too, and the best among them, I'd say, is probably Philly soul group The Intruders' "(Love Is Like A) Baseball Game," which wasn't their biggest hit, but still managed to perform modestly well, reaching #26 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1968. A quality piece of soul music that came courtesy of the legendary songwriting and production duo of Gamble and Huff, but I'm not too sure that I agree that the whole concept of love can really be equated to "three strikes, you're out" 😅.

So, all in all, it definitely did feel a little bit tormenting to have to listen to this album and then write up a post about it today, but now that I've done it, I won't have to do it again 👍. Worth a listen if you love the history of baseball and think you'd get a kick out of the wide variety of wacky music that this folkloric game has managed to yield since about the ~1940s, but if baseball's never really been your thing, you can probably skip this collection, because you probably wouldn't understand or appreciate much of what these songs are about anyway.

But seriously, how do you leave a song like "Meet the Mets," one of the single-catchiest baseball tunes ever written, off of an album like this?! 🤔 Tsk, tsk. The lesser known funkier and peppier 70s version of it goes pretty hard, as far as baseball songs go, too, I think.

Highlights:

The Intruders - "(Love Is Like A) Baseball Game" Steve Goodman - "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request" Sister Wynona Carr - "The Ball Game"

P.S.: Since I've written this, Lindor's MRI has come back clean, which is definitely encouraging, but they really need him back ASAP. Time is definitely not on their side right now 😓.

One of the things I love best about my record collection is my Garage Rock section. Even after I trimmed it a few years ago, it remained the largest sub-genre in my collection by far. Of course it all started with Lenny Kaye's Nuggets collection which spawned a whole series of Garage collections, and series on a variety of record labels. The one vinyl boxed set I have is pictured above. I was just listening to it. Garage Punk Unknowns, a four record set with liner notes was issued in 1998 by Crypt Records who are also responsible for the Back From The Grave series of releases. They also did a multi-volume series of CDs titled Teenage Shutdown. A.I.P. had the multi volume Pebbles series along with Highs In The Mid-Sixties, a vinyl series that ran to 23 volumes. Bam Caruso issued the 20 volume Rubble series. Past & Present did 13 volumes in the Mindrocker series. Rhino extended the Nuggets series, and a couple of Nuggets boxed sets were issued as well. Gear Fab got into the act with a series titled Psychedelic States that focused on local scenes in 15 different states that ran to something like 25 volumes. The Collectables label dug up several label's unreleased tapes, and issued a number of those, and many Garage acts from the period got proper LP reissues from labels like Sundazed.

Of course all of this was an outgrowth of the 1964 British Invasion spearheaded by The Beatles, and Rolling Stones. Most of these teenage wonders never made it out of their own neighborhoods. Very few cut records, but many of those that did had their moment in the spotlight with a 45 that charted locally. A handful of the best ones broke nationally, and only in a few instances were the groups allowed to make a full-length LP. If not for Lenny Kaye's Nuggets compilation, most of what those kids did would've been lost to the ages. Instead, they were immortalized, and survive now, six decades later.

I built an iTunes file for Garage Rock that runs to more than a thousand songs, and I probably only used half what I had. It was a great period, and all those records bring it back in living color.

1 week on Kauai, car top camping.

This is the camping rig we rented from “Hawaiian Overlander” on Kauai. It is a fully decked lifted 4WD Black FJ Cruiser. The whole thing was painted in “Rhino liner.” So it was damn near bullet proof.

We flew in to Lihu’e Airport from Honolulu on Hawaiian Airline. The previous week they had flooding rains in Kaua’i. We were picked up and given the keys to the vehicle in a small park. We started driving up into the center of the island towards the first of a dozen suggested camping spots. You just pull into deserted end of the road spots and pop the tent up. Above is one of Wyland’s original Whale paintings. We ended up running into one of his art studios on the north end of the island.

This is ‘Opaeka’a falls as seen from the parking lot. Basically the closest we could get. Here the water drops 151 feet. This was just minutes from picking up the jeep.

Kauai is known for being over run with chickens. To the point that they make a plastic dancing chicken with a hula skirt. There was one on the dash of the jeep.

The first night we camped on the dead end road above Larsen’s Beach. This homemade sign was nailed to the tree along the trail. It reads:

“NO SAFE SWIMMING, DEADLY UNSEEN CURRENTS HAVE KILLED.” Beside it are 14 hash marks. That gets your attention. It was late when we put up the tent. One abandoned car that had lots of personal things in it was nearby. We were questioning ourselves how safe this was. Turned out to be a quite and peaceful night. So much so we camped here the next night as well.

We did an early morning walk on Larsen’s beach. Surf was not bad in close.

We ran across this sign and a yellow line denoted the Monk seal resting area. Very obvious not to cross the roped off area. Looking around we could see a grey/brown shape almost up to the tree line.

While watching this seal laying there, we could make out a small black pup at the seals tail. This is an endangered species with approximately 1,400 seals alive. Pups are nursed for 6 weeks on the beach and then abandoned. Very fortunate to see a Hawaiian seal at all, much less a pup.

As Nancy and I beach-combed the other direction. I almost stumbled over a single seal in the middle of the beach. This seal was not in a roped off area and I had my eyes looking straight down for shells. The seal never moved before or after my encounter. So now we have seen 3 seals pretty cool. Later I reported the sightings to NOAA.

Beaches here are a light brown, with few shells.

Constant trade winds shape the trees at the coast. Bottom left is the Kilauea light house built in 1913. At the time there was not a road to it. Everything was brought by boat and lifted up.

These are lei’s on sale at the local deli, selling from $10-$42.

This is the Christ Memorial Episcopal Church built in 1862. The headstones were very interesting and had lie’s draped across them.

On the north end of the island there were a half dozen one lane bridges. In this photo you can see how the traffic works. One side stops and about 6 cars cross then the 7th car stops and allows the other side to go. It was still drizzling when we traveled the north shore.

Drizzling on the north shore and visiting a cemetery on the shore line.

In "Madame Web," Sony's ill-conceived venture into the Spider-Verse, the web of intrigue quickly unravels into a tangle of cinematic follies. The 2024 film, which aimed to ensnare audiences with the enigmatic tale of Cassandra Webb, instead traps viewers in a web of disappointment.

Let me get the "Well, duh" comments out of the way...

1) The "great power" line has now become a mangled mess of itself. The fact that it is butchered in this film, and repeated, made me facepalm so hard the guy sat behind me got hit in the face too.

2) Tahar Rahim's dialogue, was it dubbed? It looked out of sync several times in the movie, sometimes so badly lip-synched it made me look around to see if anyone else had seen the same thing?

3) BUY PEPSI. BUY PEPSI. BUY PEPSI. BUY PEPSI. BUY PEPSI. BUY PEPSI. BUY PEPSI. BUY PEPSI. BUY PEPSI. BUY PEPSI. 

4) Yep - they pulled another "Rhino" a la The Amazing Spider-Man 2. The Spider-Women suit up at the end of the film in a flash-forward for all of 30 seconds. They spend the whole film building up to what the people actually want to see and then end it.

So where to begin with this muddled mess? The plot, if one can be generous enough to call it that, is an aimless meander through a series of inexplicably bizarre events that seem to serve no purpose other than to fill time. The dialogue is a trainwreck of cringe-worthy one-liners and heavy-handed exposition that bludgeons the audience with subtlety of a sledgehammer. Every character introduction is a tedious affair, with them announcing their names and purposes with the enthusiasm of a hostage reading a ransom note. This film makes Morbius look like a masterpiece.

Then there's the humor – or what passes for it in this film. The jokes are so painfully unfunny that one must wonder if they were included as some form of avant-garde anti-comedy.

Directorial decisions only exacerbate the suffering. The numerous desperate references to the wider Spider-Man universe come off as a sibling screaming for attention rather than clever nods. The references are shoehorned in with the grace of a wrecking ball, leaving fans to nurse their second-hand embarrassment.

Performances across the board are astonishingly flat. Dakota Johnson, tasked with bringing Madame Web to life, delivers her lines with all the conviction of someone reciting the phone book. The supporting cast isn’t much better, with each member seemingly in their own disjointed film – a cacophony of conflicting genres and styles that never gel.

Action sequences are so poorly choreographed and edited that one can almost hear the director's sigh of resignation. Quick cuts and shaky cam attempt to inject excitement but instead induce a sense of motion sickness. The CGI, a critical component for any superhero flick, is an abomination – it would seem the effects budget was slashed in a boardroom and never restored.

The film's attempts to be dark and edgy are undercut by its own absurdity. It tries to take itself seriously, yet it’s hard to do so when the villain’s master plan seems to have been concocted during a fever dream. There's a subplot involving the future that is so nonsensical it could be a time-travel paradox in itself.

Editing seems to have been done with a chainsaw, lurching from scene to scene with jarring inconsistency. Scenes of potential emotional weight are butchered in favor of more screen time for bewildering subplots. There's a Pepsi product placement so blatant it could be a commercial, and a premonition sequence so ludicrous it makes Madame Web’s psychic abilities seem as believable as a horoscope in a candy wrapper.

Musical choices are equally lazy and obnoxious - with the inclusion of Britney Spears' "Toxic" making the audience eye-roll.

"Madame Web" is a cinematic calamity, a film so woefully executed that it becomes a parody of itself. It's a movie that not only fails to capture the essence of its source material but also fails to provide the most basic elements of storytelling. This film doesn't swing from the heights; it trips over its own laces at the starting line. Madame Web's real precognition would have been to foresee its own critical demise and spare us all by remaining an untold story. The only saving grace is that the film eventually ends, releasing the audience from its bewildering web of woe.

Album Review: Talking Heads "Talking Heads: 77 (Super Deluxe Edition)"

Through this site, I have been fortunate enough to cover legendary NYC art rockers the Talking Heads several times in recent years. In 2020 I interviewed drummer Chris Frantz when his memoir was released. That same year I got to review singer David Byrne's concert doc David Byrne's American Utopia, which featured tons of Talking Heads classics. Last year with the re-release of their phenomenal Jonathan Demme-directed concert film Stop Making Sense, I got to review the IMAX re-release, the expanded edition remaster of the soundtrack album and cover the reunited Talking Heads Q&A at TIFF. For a band that broke up in 1991, there's certainly been a renewed interest in their music in recent years. Almost like they fit in now more than ever. Just last month, I went to the Brattle to see an anniversary screening of Stop Making Sense and audience members (many of whom were quite young and likely weren't alive when it was released in 1984) were dancing throughout the film. This wasn't the first time I witnessed that reaction. In 2015, I was at Noise Pop with my V66 documentary and I caught a special anniversary screening of Stop Making Sense on the big screen with excellent sound system and the whole audience was dancing the whole time. For me, I always dug the Talking Heads, but I never got heavy into them. Probably because by the time I was getting into music, it was towards the end of the band. But I always liked their sound and had great respect for them being early music video pioneers, i.e. “Once in a Lifetime”, “Burning Down the House” and “Road to Nowhere”. In the last few years I’ve actually gotten way more into them and have picked up a number of their albums. Thanks to the renewed interest in Talking Heads, Rhino has re-released the band's 1977 debut album Talking Heads: 77 this week.

Talking Heads were co-founded by Chris Frantz with his college girlfriend bassist Tina Weymouth and studious singer David Byrne at RISD in RI. Guitarist Jerry Harrison of The Modern Lovers later joined. They soon moved to NYC and became a big part of the Downtown NYC scene. They were hip and cool enough to get played on MTV and college radio, but artsy and edgy enough to be a non-punk band accepted by the CBGB’s crowd. Today you can hear their influence all over, notably in Radiohead who actually got their name from a Talking Heads lyric. The Talking Heads debut album was released on Sire on September 16, 1977. The band really caught on in the years that followed, but this is considered a landmark album of the 70s. For the debut album, they worked with producer Tony Bongiovi and Lance Quinn. But Frantz credited engineer Ed Stasium as actually doing most of the producing, even though he wasn't credited. The new Super Deluxe Edition is being released in various formats. The version I got to review features: the original album remastered, rarities and alt versions, a live concert they did at CBGB's on October 10, 1977 (only a few weeks after the debut album was released) and 4 special 7" singles. There's also a book including photos, art work and liner notes (NOTE: for this review, I didn't get to read the book).

2024 Super Deluxe Edition

My personal favorite album of their discography is Remain in Light, released in 1980. But each album is unique and different from the last. This album is a good debut in terms of making a splash and getting the audience interested. There are some gems here like the funky "Who Is It" and "Psycho Killer". But the band just evolved and got way better on later albums like More Songs about Buildings and Food, Fear of Music and Remain in Light. The remastered album sounds as good as ever. In terms of the rarities, some of the unreleased ones were interesting, but the alt versions don't add much to the table, except for the previously unreleased alt version of "Psycho Killer". The 7" singles might be cool as singles, but I listened to them as a stream. What is the stand-out highlight of this is the 1977 CBGB's concert. I mean - holy cow we are actually hearing this band in their old stomping ground? Of all the Talking Heads official live albums none of them have been at CBGB's (maybe a few tracks here and there, but never a full concert there). This is truly a treat and it'd be cool if the concert was released as a stand alone RSD vinyl.

The Purple Principle: A Podcast On The Perils Of Polarization

There is no third party in the U.S. that is made up of political moderates. To support bipartisanship and compromise for the greater good is lonely and likely to make you unpopular with Democrats and Republicans. Therefore, there is no “built-in” audience for a moderate podcast.

The two political parties have ended all outreach to voters other than their bases years ago. So even the best podcast that fosters greater understanding like Left Right & Center has no actionable endgame. The Republicans rhetorically pistol whip their moderates with the “RHINO” tag (Republican in name only), and Democrats accuse their moderates of a host of crimes ranging from corruption to treason.

The way to attract attention in today's media landscape is to scream the loudest and say the craziest things. It’s the Rush Limbaugh strategy, and he employed it quite effectively. These politically charged podcasts have learned that the more “crazy they exhibit” the higher their downloads because the political base now takes notice.

Finally, moderate podcasts often spend their air time talking about solutions. Crime? Child care costs? Housing shortage and affordability? Climate change?

As podcast consultant George Witt observes, “Voters today are more interested in assigning blame for a problem than finding solutions to that problem.”

That's why The Purple Principle is such a refreshing change. This New Hampshire-based show bills itself like this: “An award-winning, non-partisan podcast for independent-minded Americans exploring the perils of partisanship in U.S. politics, society, and daily life.”

What I like about the podcast is its focus on being independent-minded. A key theme on the show is that moderates often think more deeply and more analytically than ideologically pure people who simply just mimic their party’s position without much introspection.

Small steps toward change

So what’s my bottom-line here?

Simple. If we ingest news and opinion that promotes only one side of politics, society and culture, we will think only one way, like a machine programmed so that its operating system can only function like, well, a computer.

But if we make the leap to opening the gates to varying opinions, we perhaps can understand better what others are thinking, and why they are thinking that way.

Here’s a two-liner I believe summarizes how polarization has affected us. We have two parts of our brain — left and right. In the left side, there’s nothing right. In the right side, there’s nothing left.”

According to reporter Paul Briand, of The Portsmouth Herald, “The Purple Principle is a podcast seeking political middle ground in the U.S. The podcast interviews media experts, political scientists, neuro and social psychologists, social media experts, comedians, artists and legislators to get a broad perspective on how we got so partisan in the US and what can possibly be done to help.”

The Purple Principle (https://purpleprinciple.com/) is an outgrowth of Fluent Knowledge LLC, created by Robert Pease – the host of the podcast -- about six months ago to explore, as he said, “if our red and blue factions can blend into a healthier shade of purple.”

“But today,” Pease added, “any issue is immediately polarized. We’ve politicized religion, weather and now viruses. Apple pie might be next: Who picked these apples? How much were they paid? And this Granny Smith character is she a Democrat or Republican? Yet, only a few decades ago our elected representatives could have disagreements, but still reach compromise.”

Pease describes himself as a life-long independent, first attracted to the middle ground of presidential politics in 1980 with the campaign of Republican Illinois Congressman John Anderson who ran as an independent.

Educated at Princeton and Brandeis University, Pease, a former Fulbright Scholar, has graduate degrees in political science and economics and has worked as a journalist, executive recruiter and nonprofit administrator, living in Japan, Singapore and China for many years.

“I’ve benefited from living abroad and looking at my country from afar, and living in a one-party state and seeing how dangerous that can be, then coming back to the U.S. and feeling that, although we’re certainly not a one-party state, we’re like two versions of one party,” he said. “I’m old enough to remember that it wasn’t always that way. There was more communication, more overlap, more healthy dialogue, more respect, and more stability.”

In this current season, The Purple Principle focuses on election reform issues such as ranked-choice voting and open primaries. Both reforms have been shown to reduce extremism and polarization and enable more voter participation.

Does any podcast whose message is “let’s find common ground” have a chance?

Moderation. Being in the Center. Non-Partisan. Independent. These words slowly slide into obsolescence as the hyper-partisans on the left and the right demand “you’re either with us or against us.”

The Purple Principle is a podcast that promotes healthy dialogue about policy and politics. It's sorely needed in today's world.

This is a 1979 international scout and there were two versions supposedly but really there weren't it's four wheel drive it's pretty hefty and it's a truck it's almost to mid-size it's more like a compact of today's standard and he wants to make a sub compact and probably a pickup version and that would be probably it and to be really easy to make with fiberglass and we could put them on almost any frame the truck would be a truck frame that would be the scout II and we'll do it in standard Blazer fashion where you can have it turned into a truck or you can have it be a standard vehicle which in the interior wouldn't change but he wants to make it so you can take the back off and that's what they're made to be like no fancy stuff except when you take the back off he wants to make it so he can close it off but we tried that it doesn't work but he wants to put like the gorilla coating where it's really a rhino liner and it looks like flooring and it feels like it we have one that wears like it and you can take the seat out and you have a pickup truck and you don't have to worry about the carpets floor mats and you take those out and it comes with a roll cage and we will start to sell these these are nice when you take the top off you go cruising and it's awesome and you'll see the top it comes off differently. And it is utility vehicle it's made to tow it's made to drive around it's made to do all sorts of stuff but the smaller one will come in a couple different formats maybe even three one is for towing and it's going to be lighter towing it's going to be rear wheel drive the other is a utility vehicle front wheel drive still light duty the other would be heavier duty 4-wheel drive and the same would be for the scout 2 and we'll make two of them and since the utility vehicle you can change it up to whatever you want as a format and we'll sell soft tops and convertibles all sorts of things it's a great truck and he wants one already it's tired of screwing around with all these vehicles that don't work and you can get a small one and front wheel drive is his thing for fuel economy and it would look cooler than this but very very close to this because it's a kit and we're going to start doing it and people used to go nuts with these I mean they were fanatics is a fast seller we're going to put together a kit and we're going to try this new system and we're looking for vendors who sell kits and who sell fully built kit vehicles and we build the kit out of metal

Thor Freya

We sort of got the fact you probably would do this we have some tested and we know they work and the design is close it looks really nice strong and sturdy they get great gas mileage even with the four-wheel drive because you can switch it out like most but the way it works is better and it's an inexpensive frame and and the body is not not expensive and it is a kit but we have one that's fully built too and be selling the rolling chassis and drive training separately at first but it does go on to a whole bunch of vehicles in a small pickup truck looks like this it's really the scout goes on to all sorts of cars

Zig Zag our projects are moving forwards and we're doing well we will need help eventually no we need it now and we're getting it and they're sending it out I can see it go out
