1970.

One of the more haunting songs in the history of Canadian pop music.

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Twelve

In the moonlight on a black night I see shadows on my wall I can't fall asleep, oh no I can't sleep For they never cease to creep (crawl) Shadows on my wall I think I see a buffalo He moves across the hallway, so slow, Up and down I watch his feet go And he is made up from the moon glow Passing through my window

Starts With P, Part 2

Gary Lewis and the Playboys - (You Don't Have to) Paint Me a Picture / Looking for the Stars

The A-Side is a jaunty little tune that serves the pop function of having catchy words the listener can remember easily, but doesn't do much more than that. The B-Side is mostly a comedy sketch featuring celebrity vocal impressions, coming out swinging with a John Wayne right off the bat. I never knew this before, but Gary Lewis is actually the son of Jerry Lewis, and I think that might explain this. Both sides are in pretty good shape.

Popeye - A Whale of a Tale (Beginning) / A Whale of a Tale (Conclusion)

Well, I wasn't expecting that. This is a children's book on record, featuring the voices of characters like Popeye, Olive Oyl, and their associates on an adventure involving none other than Moby Dick Mopey Nick? The copyright date is 1973, when my mom was in high school, so I'm not exactly sure how this disc came to be in her collection. One of those curiosities of life. I found it on youtube, if you're interested.

The Poppy Family featuring Susan Jacks - That's Where I Went Wrong / Shadows on My Wall

There is some interesting stuff going on in the refrain of this psychedelic torch track, I kind of dig it. But my jam is the B-Side, which foregrounds the tabla drum for a truly spooky, haunting sound. Should have been the A-Side, I say.

Elvis Presley - Kentucky Rain / My Little Friend

A classic from the King's country era, both sides are a little marred by the ravages of time. "My Little Friend" is no hit (at least I've never heard of it being one), but it's a pleasant tune, though it skips a little. "Kentucky Rain" is an epic, and really shows off the power of Presley's voice.

Elvis Presley - I Can't Help Falling in Love With You / Rock-A-Hula Baby

This song, on the other hand, demonstrates the exceptional lightness and grace with which Elvis could sing. It's a shame the disc is so crackly, because it's an exceptional song, truly deserving of its place in the King's legend. The B-Side is *squints* "Rock-A-Hula-Baby." well, the King sure had quite the varied career.

Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds / You'll Think of Me

A little faint and distant-sounding, unfortunately. I've certainly heard "Suspicious Minds" sound more vital than this. Still a good listen though. I kind of forgot that it had that false fade-out, you got me good Elvis! Sure enough, the B-Side sounds a lot more present and the room, with a fuller sound. And it's not a bad song, either! "You'll Think of Me" isn't an Elvis classic necessarily, but he sings it well.

Elvis Presley - Burning Love / It's a Matter of Time

Now this disc is, comparatively, in excellent condition. Listen to those drums! "Burning Love" is a great example of latter-day Elvis in rock form, with a good portion of the energy of his earliest days. The B-Side is a little more sedate. Well, a lot more sedate. There are a lot of sides to this guy, you know? One side just likes to sing pretty little tunes with low stakes.

Billy Preston with Syreeta - With You I'm Born Again / All I Wanted Was You

Not the sound one typically expects from Motown, or from Billy Preston, for that matter. Lots of strings, and it builds in ecstatic fashion to what might be described as a big feathery climax. The side minus Syreeta, on the other hand, is just straight disco-funk. Put that on when the party is getting crazy and some one is putting a lampshade on their head.

Dr. Robotnik has taste. This is a straight up banger.

CBC Radio Showcase '72 featuring the Poppy Family and Alex Trebek

[artistmarchalius]

Broppy Capture AU, where Branch didn’t confess after World Tour, but a love confession when all hope seems lost is just what they need to free themselves from Velvet and Veneer.

A version without text can be found under the cut.

[araremonaka]

For my Child Star Branch AU

I might change Bruce later :T

[chez-cinnamon]

So I was talking to some friends on Discord and we were discussing how some movies had cartoon characters with this white guy driving car scene.

I'm just stuck thinking about Fionn and the Welcome Home cast crammed into a car having this same exact moment and it's cracking me up xD

It definitely starts out that way LMAO

[novalizinpeace]

Have been a time since i had made a full post for the cartoon critters, so time to give them some love

I present to you... The Smiling Critters's Family Tree

1- Dogday & Catnap - Queen Gaia

''Everybody call her your highness, but for us, mom is just mom''

Her introduction in the cartoon is a surprise for everybody, since nobody knew Catnap & Dogday were actually sibling (even when the two refer to the other as brother, they thought it was a best friend thing), even less knew they were princes! Queen Gaia is a calm, motherly figure, but after lost her husband in a war with another kingdom, she decide to hide her two babies from the public, and when they became old enough to have a pendant, let them live with their people in hope to teach them to overcome their weakness (arrogance in Catnap and cowardice in Dogday). Her original pendant was able to move both the sun and the moon, but she divide it to let her sons the responsability (the one she have now is a fake one, something important for the season finale of the cartoon)

2-Picky & Kickin - Mr. Piggy

''Our dad is the best!'' ''No comparation needed!''

Mr. Piggy isn't a recurrent character in the cartoon, making his debut in Kickin's birthday just to tell the story of how he found a egg with legs running around his farm (all the episode is basically a retell of the poor pigman trying to catch the egg while also having her daughter in his back). He's a good apple, loving dad that enjoy spend time with his kids, been cooking something with Picky (he teach her about healthy ingredients) or going fishing with Kickin (is the only calm activity Kickin can do without get bored). The Apple pendant was originally his, while the star pendant was found by the own Kickin.

3- Bubba - Mr. and Mrs Tiny

''I'm just... A tiny Bubbaphant''

The stork made a mistake, and Bubba end up with two parents that only shared with him the big ears, but not for this the Tiny couple stop loving their son, nor Bubba stop looking at his parents as the best he could have. Their debut is subtle, and they don't have a lot of relevance in the cartoon, but is funny to see them from time to time over Bubba's head in a event.

4- Bobby - The Bearhug Family

''Don't worry! They don't bite, i teach them not to''

Yep, Bobby come from a ''wild'' family. Their debut episode talk about the differences between a ''critter'' and a ''wild'' (basically, any real animal is a wild in this cartoon), been the whole episode a explication of how Bobby become the critter she's now (and how she got her pendant).

5-Hoppy - The Hopscotch sibling

''We're a team! A team that hops together stay together!''

There's no a debut of Hoppy's parents, but it's implied that they're still alive, just really busy. Meanwhile, her sibling show up from time to time, been as background characters, or with their our episode, been two: one where Hoppy is wants to participate in a sibling deportive event and can't find the perfect harmony with any of her sibling ('cause none of them are as sporty as her), and one where she need to babysit Huppy, but the lil' troublemaker end up causing troubles for all the critters. In the sibling event it explain that Hoppy got her pendant from her big sister, 'cause she wasn't able to control the power like it was suppose to.

6-Craftycorn - King Canvas

''I... had never been enough for him...''

No showing his full design yet, but only leaving something clear: he's a villain, having his debut in the season finale, but there's mentions of him around all the cartoon, incluying the implication of him killing Queen Gaia's husband. Craftycorn isn't a big fan of her dad.
