Mixcloud GO! 1950: Mindless Contextualizing for Weirdos Like You and Me

Back in the mid-‘00s, reacting to the sudden availability of seemingly the entire history of recording for “free,” me and my friends on the music bulletin board I Love Music started compiling a bunch of year-themed MP3 collections called CDR GO!s. The rough concept: a CDR with MP3s from a single year, no artist repeated. The name: inspired by the great Bow Wow Wow song about taping music off the radio, replacing C30 etc. cassettes with CD-ROMs, one of the '00s own hot and legally murky way to obtain music. Some CDR GO!s I remember fondly were devoted to 1966, 1968, 1972, and 1988. I did one for 1984 and started and abandoned one for 1975 before offering to do one for 1950. The year 1950, not the decade. Why that one? I didn't really know anything about it. I spent about a month and a half in 2006 researching Hispanophone music of the time before giving up, exhausted by the monotonous googling.

In 2013, long after people stopped making CDR GO!s, I was overcome with the thought that I should finish my 1950 one before I die. I had to succumb in the face of the ridiculousness of such a thought. So I spent a weekend compiling every 1950 track featured on a Chronological Classics album in a Spotify playlist. That served as the backbone of Bomb. Youtube, Wikipedia, discogs.com, Folkways' and Frémeaux's catalogs (what with their exhaustive discographical information, free on their websites) were very obviously essential. Brute-force googling "[country] + music + 1950" and "[musical style] + 1950" got me a lot of tracks but also got me a lot of false positives when my search engines couldn't distinguish "1950" and "1950s."

When I finished, it got a nice reaction among my colleagues. My friend Michaelangelo Matos voted for it in Pazz & Jop, and it got a nice mention in a Stephen Thomas Erlewine essay on Pitchfork. Then, to my horror, mere months after the playlist was published, tracks started disappearing from Spotify, destroying the ebb and flow of the thing. There are now so many losses (32 out of 170, nearly a fifth) I've disowned the playlist, though I'm loathe to pull it from circulation. I made an MP3 version a year or two later and even there, I got cockblocked: to share it meant using file hosting sites like Sendspace that sometimes choked when it detected copyrighted material. So, to keep my creation alive—the one made me spend all my free time in bed for three months thus was likely cause of my sciatica—I've decided to recreate it on Mixcloud.

When I was originally putting it together, anything recorded in 1950 was fair game. If I couldn't find the recording date, a release date of 1950 was enough. Sometimes this meant "a guy on YouTube said it was from 1950." Classical music, off in its own little world as usual, got treated a little differently: if something was composed in 1950 but recorded later, even decades later, it also counted. Thing is, six years down the line, the Internet is six years smarter, and a site like discogs.com, then largely a dance-music thing, now carries levels of authority for old music, even non-Anglophone music, it didn't have then. So it turns out quite a few recordings I thought were from 1950 in 2013 weren't at all. Most oopsies are only a year off, but the Lou Donaldson—Clifford Brown track "Cookin'" is from 1953 and now even sounds from in 1953. All the mistakes gall me, but that one especially stings knowing this info was there in 2013. And now that I'm a little more familiar with Les Paul, it's clear the version of "Lover" here is just his 1948 single played on a 1950 radio show, not something recorded anew. I have no idea what year "Entre copa y copa" is from, or why I thought it was from 1950 in the first place. And “Wahran Warhan” is in stereo. Ugh. 

I'm posting discographical information for each track on Tumblr, detailing the artist(s) as billed on the record, the track title, what format and label it was on, and recording/release/composition dates fixing a track's 1950-ness (or lack thereof). I've tried to be clear about what I know and don't know about a record's release, and even so, the information is sometimes more speculative than it looks, especially when I note formats. When a track gets released after 1950, like with some of the archival classical recordings, I name the earliest release I can find om discogs.com, which leads to naming some obscure near-bootlegs. You should be cross-referencing all this info with discogs.com and 45cat.com anyway.

I want to be clear about something. Rock & roll was a discontinuity, a revolution, and a goddamned grand one. But pulling this together has become an object lesson that the music of most stripes that came immediately before it (jazz not included) does not get much of a fair shake. As rock music became normative, it started engulfing history like a bacteriophage, becoming so self-absorbed (and forgetful) that it could deny anything before Elvis had worth, except insofar as it reflected glory back onto it. Then, as a final insult, it also eventually dispensed with rock & roll as an object of consideration—paying lip service to its rebel edge, of course, but secretly despising it for its unseriousness, its lack of sensitivity, its wackity-schmackity doo. Today, rock music really really starts with the British Invasion, rock & roll is treated like a mere throat-clearing, and pre-rock music of any stripe is, at best, the throat-clearing before the throat-clearing. This is a bullshit state of affairs and I hope these mixes suggest how rich the terrain is.

Mixcloud GO! 1950: The Bomb in the Heart of the Century

I’m pleased to announce my latest music project, which is actually an old project: Mixcloud GO! 1950: The Bomb in the Heart of the Century. It's a 2013 Spotify playlist of mine featuring 170 pieces of international audio culture from the year 1950 with no artist repeated, recreated on Mixcloud for your streaming delectation.

It surveys not just the hit-parade pop of America, not just the rhythm & blues and country and gospel and folk lurching towards rock & roll, not just the jazz exploding in all directions in the light of bebop, not just classical and post-classical, not just Broadway, not just the pop and folk traditions of Mexico and India and Spain and Brazil and Italy and France and China and Germany and Cuba and Greece and and and. Well, let's just say it tries to be as everything as possible.

This is being published in as a series of fifteen-song mixes, but ideally you'll hear the whole thing in one piece. After the first two, the remaining ten mixes will be posted one-per-day, with full discographical information for each posted on this Tumblr.

As a track-by-track recreation of my original Spotify playlist, nothing's been changed or swapped out (except the Alfred Apaka track—a stereo recreation replaced with the original 1950 track), even though I now know I got the dates for some of these things terribly wrong. It's just easier that way.
