Morale Boosters aren't really a thing on my team. But last week we got Pop Dots back in stock and it's literally the best thing that has happened to us since the days where we could close the shop for an hour to put delivery out

- Had a really productive office hour with my dissertation supervisor today to talk about my plan and primary texts. A lot more confident in what I'm writing now, and my focus is slightly clearer.

- Completed my curation project on the Religious uses of Gold in South America by native groups and Catholic colonisers, which we then presented quite effectively. Really happy with the way our curation brief turned out, and the project was really fun to start with!

- Bought myself some flowers and popdot doughnuts on the way home for Valentine's Day to brighten up the room! It came with a small bumblebee stuffed toy as well!

10. Daily, weekly and monthly planning method?

I'm quite thorough with my daily plans (but often vere from what I say I'm going to do) so I use a structured planner and a daily to-do List. Here's my weekly spread from this week with days broken down by hour and my monthly spread, and a to-do list! ((yes those are ateez stickers, I was supposed to be seeing them next week in London but they rescheduled again ㅠ.ㅠ))

11. What's a random piece of trivia you know?

I've been trying to catch up on all things TryPod recently, and in one of the last episodes of You Can Sit With Us I listened to, I found out that pregnant women don't lose very much hair during pregnancy because pregnancy hormones make your hair super strong and healthy, only for it to start falling out en masse when you're no longer producing those hormones. Another "pregnancy is weird" moment!

Industrial designer Laura Noriega is one of many artists and architects, designers and illustrators tapping into the wealth of craft they had, for years, overlooked. Today, she and her brand Tributo, which produces housewares with craftspeople scattered throughout central Mexico, is part of an expanding community of makers transforming Guadalajara into a hub for design.

Throughout the 20th century, Guadalajara produced some of the leading lights of Mexican art such as Luís Barragán, whose architectural style became shorthand for the country's modernist aesthetic. In the early 2000s, sisters Julia and Renata Franco started their fashion line, Julia y Renata, out of their parents' garage in 1993, around the same time that José Noe Suro started to produce work for contemporary artists at his family's ceramic studio, Cerámica Suro. Still, says the designer and artist Aldo Álvarez Tostado, who moved to Guadalajara in 2005, “the boom you see now, that didn't exist 15 years ago.”

In 2013, Álvarez Tostado created a cooperative called Occidente to bring together the homegrown talent. That year, the cooperative's 12 design firms mounted a stall at the first Abierto Mexicano de Diseño design fair in Mexico City. It's precisely that small-town atmosphere—despite a metro-area population pushing six million—that's made Guadalajara so attractive to creatives. Within a few hours of the city, Álvarez Tostado works with stonemasons to carve bold, graphic skull pots for his brand Piedrafuego, products he sells from a workshop in the city's historic center. Noriega, who keeps an elegant showroom in the leafy Colonia Lafayette, works with the ceramist Ángel Santos in the village of Tonalá to produce burnished-clay mezcaleros, while Luis Cárdenas and Melissa Aldrete create experimental ceramics for their brand Popdots using techniques they've learned in traditional workshops.

“What interested us about being here was doing instead of just designing,” says Cárdenas. Guadalajara, he says, “lets you live at the pace the materials demand.” Access to traditions and the time to understand them, says the graphic artist Rocca Luis César, “opens a space for experimentation.”

Ultimately, it's collaboration that sets Guadalajara's design scene apart. Many creatives open their workspaces to visitors who contact them via Instagram. Frequent pop-ups bring together curated collections from the city's best designers. And shops like Viento México and Chamu Hecho a Mano blur the lines between craft, design, and art, disciplines.

Today’s compilation:

The Great Millions 1966 Traditional Pop / Pop / Pop-Rock / Rock & Roll / Easy Listening / Orchestral Pop

Dot Records was a real force to be reckoned with in its day. It was formed originally in Gallatin, Tennessee as an R&B and gospel label in 1950, but by the middle of the decade it started releasing pop covers of R&B tunes to appeal to a broader, whiter audience. This compilation, which was released in 1966, but is actually just a stereo version of a 1959 release that was originally issued in mono, gathers some of the label's biggest hits from its first decade. All of these singles managed to sell a million-plus records, hence the album's title, The Great Millions.

Before I get into this album itself though, allow me to briefly bring up one of those million-selling pop covers: "I Hear You Knockin'" by actress Gale Storm. This is a prime example of one of those gross instances where a black artist (Smiley Lewis) released a song and then a white artist (Storm) released a cover immediately after, and the white artist's version ended up selling like hotcakes because their label provided the backing and infrastructure it needed to succeed, and white people, as a whole, were more receptive to music made by other white people rather than black people at the time 🙄.

All of that said, Storm's rendition is a decent-sounding cover, and it's also pretty interesting to hear when juxtaposed with the much more now well-known 1970 version by Dave Edmunds.

All in all though, this compilation is just too traditional and strait-laced to be interesting. There's a reason why oldies stations don't play these oldies: most of the people who bought them are gone. All of these songs came out in the 50s. and the 50s are often remembered as the decade that birthed the rock & roll revolution, but that was music for rebellious kids at the time. Those 50s oldies that were made for the youths of the decade still get some burn today, but these 50s oldies were made for their parents. And those parents are almost all gone now. And we have little to no connection to that music, because outside of a smattering of jazz, blues, R&B, and country tunes, the timeline for the collective American pop music consciousness pretty much starts with rock & roll and then branches out infinitely from there. And most of these 50s tunes simply aren't rock & roll. They're largely traditional pop tunes sung by people like Pat Boone; boredom for most these days, including yours truly.

But hang on! Is it all bad? No. The Fontane Sisters put forth those traditional made-for-AM-radio vocal harmonies, but the stuff had a sweet jauntiness to it. "Hearts of Stone" was their biggest seller and it comes with a pair of nice sax solos. Those ladies are, like, a really forgotten relic of the 50s too, because even though they managed to chart well over 30 singles, their Wikipedia article is barely more than a stub 😔. Would be nice to get a PBS documentary on them or something.

Also, film and TV music supervisors might still find some utility in a few of these songs. Like, "Glow Worm" by The Mills Brothers is not a song that you'd probably ever catch me playing again, but it would probably pair well with a scene that involved something like fishing by making it more memorable.

But for the most part, this just was not a very interesting listen. I happen to think that the 50s are an all too underappreciated decade of music, but when I say that, this isn't the type of stuff that I'm referring to 😅.
