"Telstar" - Tornados

1962 Written by Joe Meek

The sound of the space race, the hum of new technology and the world opening up for us. Number 19 in Let's Do It, my personal top fifty singles from 1954-76.

Joe Meek had always been interested in sound, sci-fi, space, and what we'd later term electronica. He had libraries of sound effect discs, and made "cut-in" records with a similar sound to "Flying saucer" - but much more sober and avant-garde. Meek's calling cards were a cavernous echo, masses of reverb and compression, and tapes played just a little bit faster than they were recorded.

The melody to "Telstar" came to him in a dream, literally the night after watching the inaugural broadcasts from the new communications satellite. The rest of the band chipped in: a Wild West beat the band had used on other tracks, speed it up, and have a keychange in the middle.

Mostly, "Telstar" is a non-stop guitar backing, layers of organ and piano, and the wailing melody on top. And takes, lots of takes, all layered one on top of the other. It's the wall of sound before Phil Spector invented it. Joe finished the production with a bundle of special effects, and by speeding up the tape to raise the pitch.

Less than a week after he'd dreamed the melody line, "Telstar" was with the record company; within a month, it was in the shops. The rest is history.

THEY ARE SO INSUFFERABLE AND HORRIFIC AND AWFUL BUT SO AMAZING AND DORKY AND THIS PART IS SO UNFAIRLY FUNNY AND CUTE AND WHOLESOME-- PLEASE, PLEASE HAVE MORE SCREENTIME IN S2. PLEASE LET THEM TAKE OVER THE SHOW. I KNOW THEY'RE HORRIBLE PEOPLE BUT I NEED MORE OF THE VEES.

And the most important scene of them all (to me):

First of all, how is Vox doing that. Second, you just know that these two douchebags are going to bang so hard with Alastor getting his ass kicked replaying in the background after this. I hate them so much.

you want a new kind of guy, fine, i raise you: the lady i was briefly roommates with in college who once smoked a blunt at a party and then spent an hour confessing earnestly to me that she genuinely preferred reading detailed episode recaps over actually watching the tv show in question

I'm in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk!!

I've been holding this back for a long time--INCREDIBLY EXCITED to say my song "I Wanna Kno" was chosen for the Bomb Rush Cyberfunk soundtrack. Grateful to director Dion Koster for seeing something in the track and letting me help color the game world of New Amsterdam. I still can't believe I'm part of one of the coolest games ever in a music lineup like this. Out now on PC/Nintendo Switch, coming to consoles soon after!

CRAWLS OUT OF THE TRENCHES COVERED IN BLOOD

IT'S DONE

Somehow they took longer than PK's reference did. Here's to hoping I don't change their design again so I don't have make a 4th reference sheet for them 🥂

I forgot to add the fact that they start growing leaves and flowers in their fur after they recover and aren't stressed 24/7 onto the ref, AH WELL- I might just make a version for when they are older and not a complete wreck

Some notes;

They now have pernament wings that are usually tucked under an elytra, identical to Pale King's (monarch) wings but black and white instead. My friends also voted the pubic fur out ✌️😔 probably for the better, I couldn't come up with a way to NOT make it look awkward as hell.

Their adolescent stage is around 13-14 years of age and around Pale King's height, outgrowing him ever so slightly.

The hatchling stage is EXTRA potato shaped and EXTRA fluffy now, instead of the fur being mostly on the back of their neck and lower back they have a full mane that runs down their back, much like their dad. The hatchling and child stages also have much dimmer light, it gets brighter with age.

But most important addition; they have ✨️HEELS✨️

Not sure if the white bits behind the ridges on their feet and forearms wi stay but they are here for now, I'll see how I feel about them as I draw them

They mostly take after their father in all but height but they do have some traits from their mother, which will be more obvious once I will make a proper reference for her

So often, twink death is framed as a bad thing. However, the "twink death" for trans men* is frankly one of the most healing things you will bear witness to (pun intended).

"Haha fourteen year olds sound sooo fourteen sorry fourteen year olds" yeah and 22 year olds sound pretty dumb too, and I bet 30 year olds are morons compared to 45 year olds. now everyone hush up and acknowledge you all have something to learn from each other
