  • Market Commentary September 2021
    market commentary September 2021 Smooth Sailing (So Far) Hanging out by the pool or in the backyard is a staple of summertime. Good times with family and friends are often accompanied by some music playing in the background. For many, that summertime hang music is “yacht rock” – the chart-topping smooth music from the late 1970’s and early 1980’s that is, if nothing else, easy to listen to. The Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan, Hall & Oates and Christopher Cross are all giants of the genre. Yet if there was one single artist who most epitomized the smoothness of yacht rock, it would have to be Michael McDonald. McDonald’s prowess was no more apparent than on The Doobie Brothers’ 1978 classic “What a Fool Believes”. His smooth delivery, combined with an effortless melody and an electric piano might just be the easiest “easy listening” ever produced. However, listening to the lyrics paints a more sullen picture – the story of a man foolishly believing he has a chance of rekindling an old flame. Much like the smooth music of “What a Fool Believes” the stock market has had a very smooth ride thus far in 2021. The S&P 500 Index is up over 20% on the year, and has experienced very little turbulence along the way. To date, 2021’s biggest decline has been a blink-and-you-missed-it 4.2% drop in February and March. In most years, the stock market experiences a decline of 10%-15% at some point along the way. This type of uninterrupted smooth sailing has only happened a handful of times since 1928 (see table at right).

  • Edgar Allan Poe V4
    Cold Open: We like dark tales here on Timesuck! Stories of murderous serial killers and accounts of cult leaders’ madness are some of our most popular episodes. I get it! Fear is fun when the danger isn’t right there in front of you. Edgar Allan Poe clearly loved a little fear. He put that primal emotion in so much of his literary works. Poe didn’t kill anyone or, at least according to most historians, go mad, but he loved to spin a dark tale. He’s considered the founder of the modern, psychological horror tale. Many literary giants of today consider him to be the world’s first true suspense author. He’s the inventor of the detective novel. The Godfather of the modern spooky mystery. “He wasn’t just a mystery/suspense writer,” adds the author many consider to be today’s master of suspense and horror, Stephen King. “He was the first.” And yet he toiled in poverty for the whole of his life. He was miserable for most of it. “Poe is so ingrained in us—so deeply encoded into our cultural DNA—that we no longer recognize him,” says Louis Bayard, whose novel The Pale Blue Eye puts Poe at the center of a mystery during his days as a West Point cadet. “And yet whenever we write a mystery, whenever we write horror, whenever we write science fiction—whenever we write about obsession—we’re following in his tracks.” I like that thought about no longer even recognizing the influence Poe has over us.

  • Get 'Em out by Friday the Official Release Dates 1968-78 Introduction
    Genesis: Get ‘Em Out By Friday The Official Release Dates 1968-78 Introduction Depending on where one looks for the information, the original release dates of Genesis singles and albums are often misreported. This article uses several sources, including music paper cuttings, websites and books, to try and determine the most likely release date in the UK for their officially released product issued between 1968 and 1978. For a detailed analysis to be completed beyond 1978 will require the input of others that know that era far better than I with the resources to examine it in appropriate levels of detail. My own collection of source material essentially runs dry after 1978. As most people searching for release dates are likely to go to Wikipedia that is where this search for the truth behind Genesis’ back catalogie. The dates claimed on Wikipedia would themselves have come from a number of sources referenced by contributors over the years but what these references lack is the evidence to back up their claims. This article aims to either confirm or disprove these dates with the added bonus of citing where this information stems from. It’s not without a fair share of assumptions and educated deductions but it offers more on this subject than any previously published piece. The main sources consulted in the writing of this article are as follows: 1. The Genesis File Melody Maker 16 December 1972 2. Genesis Information Newsletter Issue No. 1 October 1976 3. Wax Fax by Barry Lazzell - a series of articles on Genesis releases published in Sounds over several weeks in 1977 4.

  • James Blunt Giver Koncert På Rosenborg Slot
    2011-03-08 07:13 CET James Blunt giver koncert på Rosenborg Slot Den britiske sanger og sangskriver gæster Rosenborg Slot den 16. Juni 2011. To albums, to verdens turneér og 18 millioner solgte plader senere har James Blunt været på en rejse som de færreste oplever. I november 2010 udgav han sit 3. studiealbum ”Some Kind of Trouble”, som i den første uge solgte over 1 million eksemplarer. Albummets første single hedder ”Stay the Night” og albummet indeholder mere optimistiske sange end tidligere, helt nøjagtigt 12 af slagsen og er produceret af Steve Robson. Det viser en Blunt med en ny følelse af spontanitet og friskhed – og ”Some Kind of Touble” er starten på et nyt kapitel. Folk forventer, at han er en meget seriøs person – der tager livet og sig selv alvorligt og det er slet ikke tilfældet. Han håber, at med dette album, folk vil se en anden side af ham. Hvert album har en milepæl som definerer en forfatter for sig selv. ”Goodbye My Lover” var milepælen på det første album og ”Same Mistake” var på album nr. 2. Sangen ”No Tears” er en usentimental ballade om ”opsummering af et liv” og den er Blunt´s milepæl på dette album. James Blunt er forhenværende soldat og var blandt andet udstationeret med de fredsbevarende styrker i Kosovo – men han valgte guitaren og musikken, hvilket nu har resulteret i rigtig mange hits. Han fik sit gennembrud i 2005 med singlen ”You´re Beautiful”, som er fra Blunt´s første album ”Back to Bedlam” – albummet indeholdt også sange som ”High” og føromtalte ”Goodbye My Lover” – sange som gjorde at James Blunt hittede overalt i verden.
