Xever/Bradford Headcanons🐕🐟

 It always surprised me how they don’t have a lot of ship content considering all the times they’ve interacted and been together. Ngl this is also kind of a rewrite for me, if Xever and Bradford got to develop as better people or atleast got closer and had a closer relationship. I always wished the Foot Clan fostered closer relationship and just hanged out more.

Ship name: Dogfish🐕🐟

Basically an enemies to lover situation. After a while of having to deal with a lot of static in their lives already, decide to try to give each other a little less fuel to the fire, eventually getting to know each other better and falling for each other.

Don't really show alot of their affection in front of the other Clan members and prefer to keep their closer moments to themselves. Though overtime a lot of them began to see something, when they've been less wanting the bite the other’s head off.

They do though act more lovey dovey around Karai to annoy her.

Realized they were getting close when they tried to cover up for each other, even trying to take the blame for a failed mission.

Bradford has a lot of regrets on how he used to be towards Xever. He used to hate his mutation, but at the same time in a way, grateful for the change, as it helped take his ego down and reflect, getting closer to Xever. Overall becoming a mutant brought them together and became a better guy for him.

Bradford REALLY regrets causing Xever's mutation. I can see Brad one night just unable to sleep and just apologizes right on the spot. Xever hold him saying if he can forgive him for almost letting him die(Never Say Xever), he can forgive him too.

Bradford eventually became pretty protective of Xever. A lot of the time for high risk missions, he’d offer to go in place of Xever or atleast go with him. Xever gets annoyed as he doesn’t feel he needs to be protected(but honestly just as worried for Bradford too).

Xever calls Bradford Brad for short or just Chris sometimes and Bradford calls Xever, Xev.

Have to be careful when kissing(u know, poisonous venom).

Sometimes dance together. Xever tends to accidentally step on Brad’s feet, they’re pretty big.

Xever usually does the cooking. Bradford usually has trouble due to his size(and tail hitting or catching unto things). He’s at one point had it set on fire🔥

For winter, Bradford gave Xever a scarf from his own fur to keep him warm. Xever got him a Chris Bradford dog collar. The one time where someone’s happy to wear a dog collar, lol. 

Taught each other some of their fighting moves. Train and practice together a lot.

Bradford likes to lick Xever. He's Very ticklish.

Bradford took up Portuguese to impress Xever.

Bradford’s big spoon and Xever little spoon. Basically sleeps on Bradford like a pillow. Bradford’s more than happy to let him rest on him. 

When Bradford feels down, Xever let’s him lay on his lap and rubs his head.

Xever's pretty touch starved but at the same time doesn’t like being vulenerable.  Bradford usually just waits things out for Xever until he’s done acting tough and let’s him comfort him. The lap lay works for Fish guys too.

One time Xevers robot legs were damaged during a mission and he couldn't walk so Bradford ended up carrying him back. Xever was pretty flustered to say the least.

When they can enjoy taking naps together. On stakeouts take turn shifts. Bradford usually let's Xever sleep a little longer.

Bicker a lot. Usually at the end r just tired and forget what they were even bickering about

If they ended up actually hurt each other, usually have trouble(Bradford) saying sorry. Usually just keep some space until they feel like talking again. Bradfird def used the puppy eyes.

Help clean and patch each other up from missions and Shredder's more violent punishments.

With all the absolute madness going on, they prefer to just keep things simple. Between fighting turtles, evading Master Shredders wrath and everything else the city dumps on them, they just want a few minutes to not have to worry about being killed, mutated again or worse. Plus working in the foot you don't get a lot of time for fancy dates.

They tend to hang out on the rooftop to relax together.

Tend to have a lot of movie nights. Brad almost always picks a movie he was in and he's been in quite a bit. He always gets excited when he sees his debut.

They also enjoy just talking. About their past, now, what could happen. I can see Bradford tell Xever about the Lore of the Footclan and Xever perhaps some interesting stuff about Brazil.

They also watch Bradford’s cartoon series together. Xever laughs at the crazy absurdity of it all.

Likes to cuddle Bradford for warmth, considering all the fur he has. Def misses his first and fluffier mutant form but at least it's easier held hands with.

Xever bruhses’s bradford’s hair to make him feel better.

Xever would've taken Bradford’s death more harshly. 

They'd both be conflicted when he's revived. Like yay, they're together again but also his soul was revived by a demon.

Xever would be devastated about Rahzar becoming Kavaxas puppet, losing him again. Perhaps after the incident when Xever renounced the foot for good, maybe he sees Rahzar who somehow crawled back up and decide to leave together. Perhaps eventually they get turned back human

What do u think? Any headcanons u have? I’d love to know💖

The Summer Gods Tour: Third Eye Blind, Yellowcard & A R I Z O N A

In January 2024, Third Eye Blind revealed on their Instagram that they're embarking on another Summer Gods Tour with Yellowcard & A R I Z O N A. They've 35 dates lined up and have been rocking the stage since June 8th, kicking off an unforgettable tour. On the show's day, I was excited as I drove up to the venue. In the parking lot, fans were pre-gaming before the show, playing beer pong, dancing, and having a great time. We went down to the pit after getting checked in at the gates. It was challenging to navigate the limited space and decide whether to stand with the fans or move around. I want to shout out to the other photographers who also were in attendance shooting the show. We worked together as a team to get the job done.

The band Arizona, creatively stylized as A R I Z O N A, hails from the unexpected location of New Jersey despite its desert-inspired name. This talented trio comprises Zachary Charles, Nathan Esquite, and David Labuguen. Their music blends American pop-rock and electropop, reflecting a distinct and captivating sound. Signed to Atlantic Records, their debut studio album, Gallery, was unveiled on May 19, 2017, climbing to an impressive No. 4 on Top Heatseekers. I'd go see this band again. They're not my usual style, but I liked the vibes and tunes they were playing. During their set, they played 10 songs from their discography, including their number-one hit on Spotify, "Oceans Away", “Summer Days” & “Freaking Out”.

Yellowcard is a rock band from Jacksonville, Florida, formed in 1997. The band has released ten albums to date. In August 2023, Yellowcard began a nationwide tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their album Ocean Avenue. Whether they are headlining or supporting another act, take a moment to listen to them if you haven't already. If you're a fan of Yellowcard, you can check out our coverage from their last tour here. Also, the band collaborated with the group Hammock to release a new album in 2024 called A Hopeful Sign. I couldn't miss seeing Yellowcard on this lineup, especially after catching them at their 20 Years Of Ocean Avenue show. The energy these guys bring is incredible. Sean Mackin jumping around playing the violin is a sight to behold, you can see the passion on his face as he plays with all his heart. They played various songs, including the new track "Transmission Home," and closed the night with the crowd's favorite, "Ocean Avenue."

Third Eye Blind is an American rock band formed in San Francisco, California, in 1993. The current lineup consists of Stephan Jenkins, Brad Hargreaves, Kryz Reid, Alex LeCavalier, and Colin Creev. Jenkins has noted that The Clash influenced him, Jane's Addiction, and Camper Van Beethoven. The band gained popularity in the 90s with their song "Semi-Charmed Life" and even won a Billboard Music Award in 1997 for Best Modern Rock Track. I was shocked when I received the email saying I was approved to take photos. I did not expect a band this large to have such a lenient photo policy. We were able to capture their entire set, which was very exciting. The band started by staying together at the back of the stage, and once the show started, they slowly came out to the front with a blast of energy. Throughout the night, they played a total of 18 songs, including “The Kids Are Coming (To Take You Down)”, “Shipboard Cook”, and the classic “Semi-Charmed Life”. Drummer Brad Hargreaves had an amazing drum solo after playing the song “Jumper”. I'll see Third Eye Blind again. Their setlist has a great mix of high-energy songs and intimate acoustic performances, creating a fantastic show atmosphere.

(SONG) SCIENCE FICTION DOUBLETH FAVOUR

Usherette: Michael Rennie wast ill

But he did tell us whence we standeth.

And Flash Gordon wast thither

Then at a deadly pace 't did do cometh From Outer Space. And this is how the message did runneth:

And I very much did get hot

at which hour I did see Jeanette Scott

Dana Andrews did do sayeth Prunes

And passing those folk did use lots of arts.

But at which hour Worlds Collide,

"I'm gonna giveth thou some lacking valor thrills, Like a.

and yond's at which hour I'd melt

And the lady'd whisper in mine ear

He wast the thorn

In his mother's side.

The lady did tryeth in vain.

Narrator: But he nev'r did cause that lady nothing but shame.

Scott: He did leave home the day the lady did do kicketh the bucket.

From the day the lady wast gone

All he did want wast Rock 'n' Roll porn

And a mechanical horse.

Shooting up junk.

Janet: maketh thou caterwauling.

Scott: Und I did do.

I very nearly did love him.

I did do sayeth, ho, hark to me;

But he locked the door

and did throw aroint the key.

Scott: But he wilt hast been drawn

Into something,

Making him warn

Me in a note yond reads.

that lady, Frank Furter.

Janet: Thou're a hot dog …..

Columbia: Mine God! I can't standeth any moo of this! First thou spurn me for Eddie, and then thou throweth him off like an corky overcoat for Rocky! Thou cheweth people up and then thou spit those folk out again.I did love thou. Doth thou heareth me? I did love thou! And what did do 't receiveth me? Yeah, I'll betoken thou: a big nothing. Thou're like a sponge. Thou taketh, taketh, taketh, and drain others of their love and emotion. Yeah, well, I've did has't enow. Thou're gonna chooseth between me and Rocky, so named because of the rocks in his mazzard.

Frank: 'T's not easy having a valorous time. Yea smiling maketh mine visage ache. And mine children turn on me. Rocky's behaving just the way yond Eddie did do. Doth thou bethink I did maketh a misprision, splitting his brain between the two of those folk?

Magenta: Ahhhh! I groweth veary of this ordinary! At which hour shalt we returneth to Transylvania, i understandeth thee not?

Frank: Magenta, I am marry grateful to both thou and thy brother Riff Raff. Thou hast both served me well. Loyalty such as yours shalt not wend unrewarded. Thou wilt discover yond at which hour the humour doth take me, I can beest quite generous.

Magenta: I asketh for nothing. Nothing.

Frank: And thou shalt taketh 't. In abundance! Cometh, we art eft for the floor bewray!

Narrator: And so, by some extraordinary co-incidence, fate, 't did seem, did has't did do decide yond Brad and Janet shouldst keepeth yond appointment with their cater-cousin, Leech Everett Scott. But 't wast to beest in a situation which none of those folk would hast possibly foreseen. And, just a few hours after announcing their engagement, Brad and Janet did has't both did taste forbidden fruit. This in itself wast proof yond their host wast a sir of dram morals. And some persuasion. What further indignities wast they to beest subjected to? And what of the floor bewray yond is spoken of? In an exsufflicate house? In the middle of the night? What diabolical plan did has't been did shape by Frank's crazed imagination? What marry? From what did has't gone 'ere, 't wast clear yond this wast to beest nay picnic.

(SONG) DID RISE TINT MINE ORDINARY

Columbia: 't wast most wondrous at which hour 't

all did do beginneth.

I wast a regular Frankie fan.

But 't wast ov'r at which hour he did has't the plan

To start a-working on a muscle sir.

Anon the only thing yond gives me desire

Is mine love of a certain dope.

Did rise tints mine ordinary,

keeps me safe from mine ado and teen.

Rocky: I'm just seven hours corky,

And truly quite quaint to behold.

And somebody shouldst beest did tell

mine libido hasn't been did control.

Anon the only thing I've cometh to trust

Is an orgasmic drive of lust.

Did rise tints mine ordinary

and keeps me safe from mine ado and teen.

Brad: 't's beyond me;

holp me Mommy!

I'll beest valorous; thou'll see.

Taketh this dream aroint.

What's this? Did shalt we see,

I feeleth sexy!

What's cometh ov'r me?

Wo! Hither 't cometh again.

Janet: I feeleth released;

lacking valor times decease.

Mine confidence hath did increase;

reality is hither.

The game hath been disbanded.

Mine mind hath been did expand.

'T's a gas yond Frankie's did land!

His lust is so sincere.

(SONG) FANFARE/DON'T DREAM 'T

Frank: There's few or none will entertain

it betid to Fay Wray?

Yond delicate, satin-draped frame?

As 't did cling to that lady thigh

How I did start to caterwauling

'cause I did want to beest did dress

just the same.

Giveth yourself ov'r to absolute pleasure.

Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh.

Erotic conceit, beyond any measure

And sensual daydreams to treasure still.

Can't thou just see 't? Oh, oh, oh. Oh!

Don't dream 't, beest 't.

All: Don't dream 't, beest 't.

Scott: Ach! We've did get to receiveth out of this trap

'ere this decadence saps our wills.

I've did get to beest stout, and tryeth to hang on,

or else mine mind may well snap,

and mine life wilt beest did live. For the thrills!

Brad: 't's beyond me; holp me Mommy!

Janet: God bless Lili St. Cyr..

(SONG) WILD AND UNTAMED THING

Frank: Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine,

Mine! I'm a wild and an untamed thing.

I'm a bee with a deadly sting.

Thou receiveth a did hit and thy mind goeth ping.

Thy heart'll thump and thy blood wilt sing.

So did let the party and the sounds rock on.

We're gonna shake 't 'till the life hath gone.

Did rise tint mine ordinary,

All: We're a wild and an untamed thing.

We're bees with a deadly sting.

Thou receiveth a did hit and thy mind goeth ping.

Thy heart'll thump and thy blood wilt sing.

So did let the party and the sounds rock on.

We're gonna shake 't 'till the life hath gone.

Did rise tint mine ordinary,

We're a wild and an untamed thing.

We're bees with a deadly sting.

Thou receiveth a did hit and thy mind goeth ping.

Thy heart'll thump and thy blood wilt sing.

So did let the party and the sounds rock on.

We're gonna shake 't 'till the life hath gone, gone, gone.

Did rise tint mine ordinary,

keepeth me safe from mine ado and teen.

Riff Raff: Frank N Furter, 't's all ov'r.

Thy mission is a failure;

thy lifestyle's too extreme.

I'm thy new commander;

thou anon art mine prisoner.

We returneth to Transylvania.

Prepare the transit beam.

Frank: Wait! I can dilate!

(SONG) I'M GOING HOME

Frank: On the day I did wend aroint

I'm my most humble apology, however, if 't be true thou did find mine words misleading, but thou see, thou art to remain hither, in spirit, did conclude, be 't.

tell me about the women you invented 🎤

I FORHOT ABOUT THIS HALP!! hold on i only have old sometimes semi inaccurate refs bc all my good ones were lost in the fire (read when my phone was stolen) (more under cut, these r the only ones i have pics of atm but theres more women) (i swear) (also asid only cuz im in asid Mood) so

here is my sweetest princess in all the land Abi(ah) Nimr ! shes the main character one could say of And Simon Is Dead, a curious new adult trying to discover who she is with the people shes been told are who friends after suffering amnesia ! she can control liquids, aka not limited to water, and can act as a dowsing rod as well to find it :] shes rather soft spoken and probably the most mild mannered out of the main four, but she wont take shit and she especially wont let anyone give it to ppl she cares about! her bday is nov 1st, shes bi, her favorite color is black, her favorite food is chicken samosas by someone that she just cant remember, and shes been sadako from ringu for 6 non consecutive halloweens

riz ahmed-doyle ! not quite a woman but moreso than not, they're an orphaned fairy kid who can barely remember their father, especially post amnesiac incident, and occasionally spores sprojt from their head but like it's no biggie. head of three athletic clubs at their old school, and an active member of even more, they dont really see it necessary to wear anything but loose tanks and above the knee shorts. standing over 6 feet tall when not leaning into their friends (which is frequent), riz is very touchy and bonds with others like nothing else, their loud and carefree spirit attracting people like bugs to a light, even with dragonfly wings jetting out from their back. their bday is may 1st, their favorite sport is soccer, they want to take up cooking soon, and theyre so durable itd put a tardigrade to shame

eileen doyle, selkie extraordinaire who ran away from home at a very young age, leaving her seal skin in the only hands she could trust, that of her then baby brother. the pair reunited in her new home when he was old enough to figure out how to lie his way on a plane, and the two are inseperable. while working in HQ, she met young riz ahmed and when the kid got attached to her after losing their father, she took them in 'temporarily' until they found a more permanent family, which has lasted the past oh decade or so. being terrekinetic, one of her favorite hobbies is rolling dirt up like snowballs and launching them into peoples faces from a distance and holding back her laughter when they get worms in their mouth. her bday is march 17th, she has since sewn her cloak into a badass cardigan for her little brother, she enjoys making horrible food, and wont turn her nose up a nice drink while you're at it

kira(bo) nimr, older cousin of abi and longtime sufferer of her family's actions, from minor to murderous. originally a very powerful mageic user, she accidentally was drained of nearly all of it in order to save her brothers life, before being separated from him for a decade and left on her own in the pacific northwest. she found herself and her way home of the spanse of many years, rising the ranks in the HQ despite her lack of abilities besides a Nya here and there. a very competent office and at times field worker, she still finds her stomach in knots around kind women and doesnt know if she can even forgive her mother. her bday is dec 1st, her defining verb is headstrong, shes been taking adult karate lessons at the age of 24, and had an extensive avril lavigne phase to where she relearned french (pictured)

picture is rather out of date but one of my longest time ocs, morimoto natsuko is her name, 'california girls, we're diabolical' is her game. people often think the mouth coming from the back of her head is likely her closest friend, but her and helena have certainly seen better days. where she prefers american football, her long tongued symbiote likes a young brad pitt, despite only sharing ears, thoughts, and a stomach with her ever patient host. natsuko is known campus wide for winning a hotdog eating contest against the bottomless pit that is helena, and once had an all night rager with riz's basketball team that ended up with everybody in a dungeon on campus that was sealed by concrete in '72 with no cell signal. her bday is, as she says, 'blowin in the wind', her hobbies include making her best friend beau feel small, she can be technicality sing all of american pie in one breath, and she tells everyone who will listen every year for a decade shes never seen snow (liar)

less heroically inclined than some of our other friends here, maria would like to eat you for brunch and whine how hungry she still is. she has split custody with her boy best friends hellcat, her highschool superlative was hellcat, and she was valedictorian with a solid 2.3 gpa. her wings are too small to allow flight, but that wont stop her from trying and beating your ass with them on (mostly) accident after you buy her a couple drinks at the bar before she goes home to her girlfriend. her bday is whenever she thinks is funniest and will be most inconvient for you, she owns her own horn decoration business, her own bus centered uber style rideshare company, and your wallet.

more tatted than your dad and probably smells more, amiriah takes the stage! not quite a siren, not quite a demon, shes all cold blooded hatred and salt water. she secretly has a soft spot for feline creatures, and literally melts when they run from her due to, yknow, the whole, being water thing. marias girlfriend she runs home to after escapades, that shes tried to become a giant beer spirit for more than once (never successful). her bday is none of your business, earhaver, she enjoys nothing except jailtime (we have to assume), her girlfriends boy best friends cat, and poking at her own organs like slim goodbody.

Story Graphing: A Visual Editing Tool Brad R. Cook

In a workshop I give to young writers, I show the image of a standard story arc. The one we all know, starts low, builds through rising action to the peak of the climax, and then has a resolution on the other side. It looks like one side of a hill. In doing research, I came across a concept I’d seen years earlier – Kurt Vonnegut’s story graphs.

Kurt Vonnegut, an American literary giant who liked numbers and was a bit of a math guy came up with a theory that stories had different shapes, and those shapes were a good way of interpreting a plot. Now I will say, many have spoken out in favor and against this theory saying story graphing was too subjective to be real and similar stores will have wildly different shapes. Watch him graph Cinderella –  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP3c1h8v2ZQ

I think Vonnegut was on to something. Maybe not the end all, be all of breaking down a story, but graphing is good for showing a few things. First, stories do have wildly different shapes, but stories within genres tend to look similar. The graphs show if the writer’s story is similar to others in the same genre or style. Two, as an editing tool for visual learners a story graph can show what parts are doing well and which parts need more work.

I like it because it allows me to see the whole forest instead of only the trees. This isn’t some magic wand to solve all your plotting problems, but it is a tool that can be helpful.

What is story graphing? Simply, it is a visual representation of the positive and negative points of the story.

1 – Choose Points to Plot – Writers can go chapter by chapter, scene by scene, or by major plot points. More points mean more detail in the graph. If you’re looking for an overview do 10 points, if you want a detailed graph of the story, use 20-40 points or more. The number is determined by how many scenes are in the story.

2 – Make the Graph – The vertical line is for the good and bad things that happen in the story and the horizontal line represents the beginning to the end.

3 – Assign Values to the Points – I suggest a scale of +5 and a -5, you could use ten, and I often use half points for accuracy. The key is to be consistent. Pick the high point and the low point of the story, they become the +5 and -5 of the point spread. The third point is the starting point - where does the story begin. Is it a 0, a normal day, or are they enduring hardship so it’s a -1? Maybe start at a 1 because life is good. Now, the next point, is the next scene, but is the character’s life improving or getting more challenging? Do the same for each new point, does the story get better or worse than the scene before?

One note, I suggest only having one or two +5 and -5. There should only be a couple of truly amazing or heartbreaking scenes in a book.

4 – Connect the Dots – Once the story is graphed, it can be analyzed for several factors.

Peaks and Valleys – All the peaks should be good moments or the emotional highs of the book, and all the valleys should represent the character's struggles. What a writer doesn’t want are plateaus, which means nothing has changed in the story.

The Overall Shape – The shape should be similar to other stories in genre or the tropes of the story. Depending on the story it could look like a roller-coaster, a descending arc, or maybe a deep valley with a high ending. There are several shapes that Vonnegut outlined.

What Needs Editing – Not enough peaks and valleys, could be a muddy middle. Does the low moment come shortly before the climax? Is the action too close together? Look at the story’s structure because the graph is the story.

Now graph everything. I like to graph the main plot, the main characters emotional arc, the secondary characters arc, and the villain’s arc, but anything can be graphed.

When these graphs are laid over each other they show data as well. Where the dots all come together usually are the big moments of the story. When the lines parallel each other that means the story is in harmony. The differences can point to parts that need work or parts where the story might be confusing to readers. How do the emotional arcs compare to each other? Do the emotional arcs connect to the main plot at the right points?  

Things to Remember – Consistency is key. +1 has to mean the same throughout the whole story, but you are the one making these determinations. Be honest, don’t try and make a graph that fits some mold, plot the story, and see what it looks like.

Everything is relative. It’s the Whose Line Is It Anyway mentality, “It’s all made up and the points don’t matter.” What matters is that the writer knows what they mean.

Each new story will have a different set of values. For different graphs of the same story use the same scene point values. New points will be needed for different books though.

So why listen to Kurt Vonnegut and me? Story graphing can be fun, but it can also help edit, help plot, or help you see that your book is just like all those bestsellers and classics.

Johnnie taylor good love download

Taylor also recorded for west coast labels LA Records and Beverly Glen Records before signing with Malaco Records in 1984. Taylor was billed as "The Wailer, Johnnie Taylor". The station's format was mostly R&B and Soul oldies and their on-the-air personalities were often local R&B, Soul, blues, and jazz musicians. In the early 80s Johnnie Taylor was a DJ on KKDA, a radio station in the Dallas area, where he had made his home. At that point, sales generally started slipping away away. Taylor recorded several more successful albums and R&B single hits with Davis on Columbia, before Brad Shapiro took over production duties. "Disco Lady" was the first certified platinum single (two million copies sold) by the RIAA.

It spent four weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and six weeks at the top of the R&B chart.

After Stax folded in 1975, Taylor switched to Columbia Records, where he recorded his biggest success with Don Davis still in charge of production, "Disco Lady", in 1976. He appeared in the documentary film, Wattstax, which was released in 1973. Taylor, along with Isaac Hayes and The Staple Singers, was one of the label's flagship artists, who were credited for keeping the company afloat in the late 1960s and early 1970s after the death of its biggest star, Otis Redding, in an aviation accident. "I Believe in You (You Believe in Me)" also sold in excess of one million copies, and was awarded gold disc status by the R.I.A.A. 23 on the Hot 100 chart, "Cheaper to Keep Her" (Mack Rice) and record producer Don Davis's penned "I Believe in You (You Believe in Me)", which reached No. During his tenure at Stax, he became an R&B star, with over a dozen chart successes, such as "Jody's Got Your Girl and Gone", which reached No. In 1970, Taylor married Gerlean Rocket (and they remained married until his death). "Who's Making Love" sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. His hits included "I Had a Dream", "I've Got to Love Somebody's Baby" (both written by the team of Isaac Hayes and David Porter) and most notably "Who's Making Love", which reached No. He recorded with the label's house band, which included Booker T. In 1966, Taylor moved to Stax Records in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was dubbed "The Philosopher of Soul". Further singles were issued on both the SAR and Derby imprints, however, SAR Records quickly became defunct after Cooke's death late in 1964. A few years later, after Cooke had established his independent SAR Records, Taylor signed on as one of the label's first acts and recorded "Rome Wasn't Built In A Day" in 1962. Taylor then left the QC's in 1957 to replace Sam Cooke as lead vocalist for The Soul Stirrers. He started his career in the mid-50s as a member of gospel group The Highway QC's, as well as a brief stint with rhythm n blues group, The Five Echoes. Johnnie Taylor was born May 5th, 1937 in Crawfordsville, Arkansas and grew up in West Memphis, Arkansas, performing in gospel groups as a youngster.

okay so this is where my head is at re: post final futures. i’ll probably change my mind in like an hour but what else is new

👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 kev and v move to kentucky and settle in nicely to their new jobs and new life. they realize that they don’t need the alibi or chicago or the gallagher’s to feel like a complete family.

Snail Mail - Valentine

(Indie Rock, Jangle Pop, Singer / Songwriter)

Three years since her richly-colored debut, Lindsey Jordan's second album as Snail Mail is a more charming and reflective offering of guitar-driven indie rock that explores the aftershocks of love that Lush motioned forward. Valentine is less immersive than its predecessor, but that's completely made up for in power pop hysterics and some of Jordan's most captivating songwriting.

☆☆☆☆½

Insecurity loomed over Lush. Lindsay Jordan's debut album reveled in questions and pleas: "Who's your type of girl?", "Don't you like me for me?", "Do you dream about the people that wrong you?" are just a few of the many teary-eyed questions she asks of hot-blooded teenage love, covered in smoky reds and blinding blues. The second-by-second emotional changes on Lush beautifully embodied not only the mix of turmoil and magic of teenage romance, but specifically queer teenage romance: an extra layer to dig through in her work that recontextualized all those previous questions in an even more complicated light. Right out of the gate, Jordan knows exactly what she desires on Valentine, the opening title track to her second album. "Let's go be alone, where no one can see us, honey," Jordan beckons, the candle-lit bedroom ripped down to reveal a narrative of despairing heartbreak that drives the entirety of Valentine from here on.  Jordan's both bitter and reeling from this lost love, these two tugging desires to both kill everything in sight and bury it all with whatever you can making for one of the year's most colorful and venerating comebacks. With a bigger instrumental ensemble comprised of strings and synths alongside hints of R&B, baroque pop, and delicate folk balladry, Snail Mail has not only broadened its scope but defined exactly what makes Lindsey Jordan such an empathetic performer. Where Lush found its own sort of grace in the way Jordan's want for connection turned into evocative, youthful dreamscapes, the groundedness with which Valentine presents itself is a perspective change that was going to come at one point or another: what makes it so thrilling for me personally is how quickly it arrived. After signing to Matador and putting out Lush to acclaim someone still in high school could never acclimate to, Jordan's emotional stability crumbled, culminating in a short time inside rehab that would become the catalyst for Valentine's emotional core. Because Jordan is less in her head than on Lush, her writing reveals to be more pointed and gutting, even when she's still carried in love's wings on tracks like Light Blue, where the imaginative statement "We can sail the ocean blue or just lie down / You know how I love you" is nailed down by the need to be physically with this person shortly after with "I wanna wake up early everyday / Just to be awake in the same world as you." Later, on Madonna, Jordan's glittery pop rock is split apart by a venomous final few lines: "I’ve come to hate my body / 'Cause now it’s not yours." Produced by the side of Brad Cook, who has worked with many of my favorite current indie acts like Indigo De Souza and Hiss Golden Messenger, the immediacy in her work comes through in both song structure and how each instrument is applied throughout: compared to the four and five minute, introspection heavy cuts of Lush, not a single track of Valentine is more than five minutes; hell, the album is only a little over a half hour long. What this does for Jordan is compresses her emotions into explosive little capsules, making something like Glory's thrumming guitar strokes and repetitive structure feel complimentary to the album's central theme of obsession, or the dazzling power pop throwdown of guitars and Jordan's yearning vocal performance on the title track that emphasize the hurt and urgency of the chorus' big question: "So why’d you wanna eraaaase me?" Later, when Jordan applies bits of jangle pop from her debut, particularly on pensive highlights Headlock and the aforementioned Glory, the return to her comfort zone allows more vulnerability into her writing as her musical safe space invites it back in. When Jordan tells us of "Drinking just to taste her mouth" on Headlock, the admission and pang of guilt in her voice is unavoidable and maddeningly painful to listen to. I'm especially surprised with how successful the folkier cuts on here are, though it's not like Jordan is moving too far out of her paradigm: her prodigal guitar playing keeps a movement and progression to each of the songs even with the more cleared-out mix, and Cook's introduction of tear-stained strings burrows the songs further into themselves. Light Blue is easily the brightest of the bunch, a melancholy fingerpicked piece with a strong orchestral support beam that makes this unabashed love song on an album wrecked with loss a stunning respite. c. et al. is drowsier and less reliant on the baroque instrumentation than the former, but some sweet acoustic layering and the addition of an electric guitar keeps Jordan's writing at the forefront while not lacking interest in the production. Finale Mia swirls everything that's led up to it in one, three-and-a-half minutes long marvel. Over the most cinematic string section Cook can brew, the only thing Jordan needs is put transparently on display. "I wish that I could lay down next to you," she sings, and we're right there with her. Automate, for me, the most heart-stopping moment of the entire record. Jordan only mentions rehab very indirectly once on Ben Franklin ("You wanna leave a stain, like a relapse does"), but Automate explores her mindstate and actions leading up to it. It's the most self-destructive and anxious her music has ever gotten, and it's sure to be one of my favorite moments from any album this year. She tricks herself into thinking just a little more indulgence will piece her heart back together, that making out with someone else in the pitch black will be her salve, wanting to let go of everything but this one single person. "I'm like your dog," devoted and fiercely loyal even after they've separated, the pathos in her work climaxing in gut-wrenching sorrow. It's a terrible feeling to possess, this entire chunk of your mind dedicated to holding onto this one specific, tainted memory, this emotional cavern covered in skin-tearing and bleeding reminiscence, but it's all true and it's there. Lindsey Jordan's greatest weapon is her honesty, and she wields it even more thoughtfully and heroically than ever.
