    August 2012 Newsletter ------------------------------------ Yesterday & Today Records P.O.Box 54 Miranda NSW 2228 Phone: (02) 95311710 Email:[email protected] www.yesterdayandtoday.com.au ------------------------------------------------ Postage Australia post is essentially the world’s most expensive service. We aim to break even on postage and will use the best method to minimise costs. One good innovation is the introduction of the “POST PLUS” satchels, which replace the old red satchels and include a tracking number. Available in 3 sizes they are 500 grams ($7.50) 3kgs ($11.50) 5kgs ($14.50) P & P. The latter 2 are perfect for larger interstate packages as anything over 500 grams even is going to cost more than $11.50. We can take a cd out of a case to reduce costs. Basically 1 cd still $2. 2cds $3 and rest as they will fit. Again Australia Post have this ludicrous notion that if a package can fit through a certain slot on a card it goes as a letter whereas if it doesn’t it is classified as a “parcel” and can cost up to 5 times as much. One day I will send a letter to the Minister for Trade as their policies are distinctly prejudicial to commerce. Out here they make massive profits but offer a very poor number of services and charge top dollar for what they do provide. Still, the mail mostly always gets there. But until ssuch times as their local monopoly remains, things won’t be much different. ----------------------------------------------- For those long term customers and anyone receiving these newsletters for the first time we have several walk in sales per year, with the next being Saturday August 25th.

The 9th annual show was scheduled for April 5, 2020. Due to the limitations of stagecraft, implications of COVID-19, and shelter-in-place orders, the scriptwriters made executive decisions on what to omit or adapt to create a well-rounded script.

  • Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Feminist Politics of Offence
    KATRIN HORN “PERIOD SEX”: CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND AND FEMINIST POLITICS OF OFFENCE When cartoon versions of the supporting cast call the main character of The CW’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2015–) exactly that – a crazy ex-girlfriend – in the opening credits of season one, the offended Rebecca Bunch (played by co-creator Rachel Bloom) vehemently protests: “the situation is a lot more nuanced than that!” TV critics mostly agree, calling the show “witty, well-acted, brazenly inventive, and a pleasure to watch” (Bastién 2017) or simply “The Best Show on TV [...] that demonstrates the near-total creative freedom of TV’s latest evolutionary period better than any other” (Zoller Seitz 2016). A Slate-review that proclaims it “one of the most critically acclaimed programs on broadcast television,” however, also notes that Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (CXG) is not “among the lowest [rated], but consistently in the absolute last spot, almost as if it’s trying to make a point” (Wilson 2018). Headlines like “4 reasons why ‘Crazy Ex- Girlfriend’ is the best show you’re not watching (Fitzpatrick 2015) are therefore a staple of the show’s critical reception. The explanation usually given – “Hate the title? Us too […]” (Pandell 2016) – is that show’s title, “a sexist term,” as the credit sequence acknowledges, is so offensive it repels most potential viewers. The embrace of offensiveness in the “Subversive Show with the Terrible Name” (Lenker 2016), however, does not stop there. It instead extents to narrative as well as aesthetic levels. As such, the title is not so much ‘terrible’ as it is telling: it proclaims the show’s reliance on offence, which is used – this article argues – as a tool of feminist critique of contemporary modes of representation of women, romance, and mental illness.
