  • Playlist in 1969, Yale University Admitted Its First Women Undergraduates, Thus Ending 268 Years As an All-Male College
    YALE NEEDS WOMEN Playlist In 1969, Yale University admitted its first women undergraduates, thus ending 268 years as an all-male college. Yale Needs Women (Sourcebooks, 2019) tells their story. Here is the playlist to go with it: 22 songs released between 1969 and 1972, plus a two-song prelude from 1967. A quick scan will show that male performers outnumber women on this playlist, perhaps an odd choice given the Yale Needs Women title. It’s a reflection of the times, however. The music industry needed women too. You can find this playlist on Spotify. Search anne.g.perkins, or use this link: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4aXLc1veNkKCMqCWd0biKE To find out more about Yale Needs Women and the first women undergraduates at Yale, go to yaleneedswomen.com. Many thanks to Rick High, Lily and Mac Perkins-High, and David and Ginger Kendall for their help in creating this playlist. Sources for the liner notes below are at the end. PRELUDE: 1967 1. Aretha Franklin, RESPECT. Aretha Franklin was the first woman ever inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and “Respect” was her first song to hit #1. She was twenty-five years old, six years into an abusive marriage that she would end in 1969, a black woman in a nation where that status meant double discrimination. “All I’m askin’ is for a little respect.” 2. Country Joe and The Fish, I-FEEL-LIKE-I’M-FIXIN’-TO-DIE RAG. Released in November 1967, the I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-To-Die Rag became one of the country’s most popular Vietnam War protest songs, particularly after its performance at Woodstock in August 1969.

FOREWORD On January 6, 2021, as this zine was being designed, democratic organizers in Georgia woke up celebrating their hard won victory of winning two house seats in the US Senate. Later that afternoon, white supremacists and others, disrupted the U.S. Congress’s confirmation of the Electoral College, claiming they were protesters. This led the collaborative editing and production team to slow down our zine distribution process. Since the summer of 2020, our work had already been deeply informed by our experiences related to the pandemic, police violence, and other factors. Amidst the violence in Washington, D.C. we found ourselves reflecting anew on how the terms uprising and protest get used and can circulate. One of the main ideas of this zine is that there is no firm definition of uprising, and yet, we can also say that what happened at the Capitol on January 6 was not the actions of a protest led by the dispossessed, the othered, and the marginalized.

  • Erasure Critical Soundbites ‘Snow Globe’ out November 11 on Mute Records
    Erasure Critical Soundbites ‘Snow Globe’ Out November 11 on Mute Records SNOW GLOBE cover artwork: http://msopr.com/files/snowglobe_cover_square.jpg “Let‟s pretend that Andy Bell has ever been anything other than a holiday singer lying in wait. The way he delivers „The Christmas Song‟ on Snow Globe, the first seasonal album by the long-running British synth-pop duo Erasure (which consists of Mr. Bell and Vince Clare) is pure holiday slickness, balmy and heartening. There is harsher stuff on this album, like the Terutonic „Make It Wonderful‟ – „See the Northern Lights as they dance across the sky/They are inspiring/They take your breath away‟ – or the techno- esque Enigma-recalling version of „Gaudete,‟ a Latin traditional. But its standards (apart from „Silent Night‟) are odd and sharp, and „There‟ll Be No Tomorrow‟ and the beautiful „Loving Man‟ are on par with any of its late-„80s hits.” --Jon Caramanica, NEW YORK TIMES, November 29, 2013 “They [Erasure] look to the spirit of the season for redemption, and put their percolating electronics to smart use on a mixed bag of carols, contemporary pop songs (their take on Mel Torme's „The Christmas Song‟ is a quirky trip) and five originals.” --Randy Lewis, LOS ANGELES TIMES, November 29, 2013 “The veteran duo break the chains of Christmas-music conventions, putting their synth- pop spin on Snow Globe with both new tunes and freshly arranged traditional. Andy Bell sings like a choirboy on songs like the lullaby „Sleep Quietly,‟ where they also bring some melancholy to the merriment.” --Chuck Arnold and Gillian Telling, PEOPLE, December 16, 2013 “Have yourself a synth-pop Christmas.” --Jim Farber, NY DAILY NEWS, December 2, 2013 “The duo‟s electro-pop, with several original tracks, is a perfect soundtrack for a chilly- but-jaunty winter‟s eve.” --James Reed and Sarah Rodman, BOSTON GLOBE, November 28, 2013 “A guaranteed first thought when pressing play of this holiday album: „Erasure made a Christmas album?‟ Indeed.
