…and now for something completely different! 2294 - 2024

Those damned religious zealots, politicians, warlords and... They all bring death and ruin and they don't know that they are as superfluous as telephone disinfectors and hairdressers! - RYP

We have a first entry each day that is a picture or a video, and only in that entry you can place your music links and requests (NO ALBUMS RELEASED IN 2022 AND AFTER, AND A DAILY LIMIT OF 3 ALBUMS AND NO REQUESTS FOR FLAC OR OTHER LOSSLESS, IF YOU WANT FLAC, BUY THE ALBUM)! Here you can say what you like, unless it's offensive, racist or discriminatory! Please keep your language polite and respectful.

Dave Miller & The Byrds – The Complete Collection

Personal compilation

The Playboys (led by singer Dave Miller) were a New Zealand rock band from the early sixties. As there were other bands with that name (among others, Vince Taylor’s, Normie Rowe’s and Gary Lewis’ backing bands), they changed their name to The Byrds in December 1964, not knowing that American band The Jet Set / The Beefeaters had just changed their name to The Byrds a couple of weeks earlier. They released their first single (“Bright Lights, Big City”) as simply “The Byrds”. But no chance for them, the American Byrds stormed the charts in June 1965 with Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man”. So the NZ Byrds became “Dave Miller & The Byrds” and their first single was re-pressed with that name (both images included). They released two other singles and a 5 track EP; all 11 songs are included here with all images. After several lineup changes, they changed their name again and became “The Dave Miller Set”.

1. Bright Lights Big City (3:06)
2. Little Lover (2:02)
3. How You've Changed (3:15)
4. Wake Up Little Susie (2:17)
5. No Time (2:04)
6. Love Is All I Need (2:08)
7. Help Me (2:35)
8. Ain't Got You (2:35)
9. Tough Enough (2:16)
10. That'll Be The Day (2:07)
11. Let The Four Winds Blow (2:00)

Artwork Included (homemade front and back, all labels and covers)

Free Friday Films brings you the first movie ever made starring a Black actor with

THE EMPEROR JONES

They sure don’t make ’em like this anymore- a 1933 indie film by experimental filmmaker Dudley Murphy with the distinction of being the first major movie to star an African-American. It would take another two decades before Hollywood would attempt that “audacious” idea, but even today, The Emperor Jones cuts deep. Starring the great Paul Robeson and dropping the N-word fairly liberally throughout a truly sordid tale, this pre-code movie goes right for the jugular right from the start: sex, murder, politics, adventure… it’s all here.

The opening shot of the film is of an African tribal dance, with drums banging and people chanting as they dance in a circle. Cringey as this might seem today, the shot nevertheless grabs your attention right away. This then beautifully transitions to a modern-day Southern Black church service- the commentary being pretty clear as it draws the connection between Black America and its African roots. Robeson plays Brutus, who must leave his wife and community for a new job riding the trains as a railroad usher, shining shoes (and whatever else) for rich white men. But whatever innocent ideas you might have formed about this guy as he bids his lovely wife farewell are shattered quickly as you see him slickly slide from one scam to another, as well as from one affair to another while he travels the country. Brutus is no innocent country bumpkin, that’s for sure.

But that’s just the beginning- Brutus is a fearless, towering presence whose ambition truly knows no bounds, and, without spoiling any of the various plot twists that are thrown your way, ends up way more powerful than any of us would ever expect him to be. But his hubris is great, and, as we all know, what goes up must come down. When that happens, though, boy- does Robeson put in the performance of a lifetime in the process, one that should have swept the Oscars that year, had they been progressive enough to allow such a film in the pool. With his deep voice and imposing physicality, Robeson commands every scene in the film, even in the parts where it’s just him, alone with his ghosts, for long stretches of time.

Though the film is based on the great Eugene O’Neill’s play of the same name, it’s tough to figure out the film’s point of view, especially in the context of Race. Here’s a famous White writer depicting the Black experience as he saw it, and on one level, the lesson seems to be that as high as Black people may try to climb, they’ll never escape their savage roots. If that seems shockingly racist, well, yeah- it is. On the other hand, the film makes it clear that Brutus is playing the only cards he can, given what he’s been dealt: a Black man in the 30’s didn’t exactly have many career opportunities; if nothing else, this film is a clear portrait of empowerment. But however you choose to interpret this movie, the story is really a basic morality play- the ol’ Crime and Punishment vibe- which is more a reflection of the times’ mores than it is a reflection of racial prejudice. Whatever the case, The Emperor Jones is so full of ballsy filmmaking both on technical and creative levels that you stay captivate from start to finish, never bored, transfixed by Robeson’s thespian powers.
