NEW TROLL TRIBES???

Very very much entertained by the idea of introducing new genres in the DreamWorks trolls world solely for the fact that I like imagining how the canon tribes react to their existence. I like the idea of a new genre of music that diverges from how the main tribes interpret their music (which you can see with the tags below)

Also it might just be me but if OPM (Original Pinoy Music) exists there (lmao just pushing the Filo rep agenda here), I can imagine them just being yet another Trollstopia but smaller bc DANG this genre of music has EVERYTHINGGGGG

Well that and recent singles have this very unique sound with the likes of Pagsamo, Mahika, Pano (a personal fav), Pasilyo, Habang Buhay and much more. I have no idea if this kind of music is a subgenre of its own but something about it just scratches my brain, which says a lot bc despite being Filipino I actually don't listen to OPM very often

Anyways this was a shitty rant like I have so much to say abt this but I also feel like the details are all over the place

PLS PLS PLS SHARE UR THOUGHTS BRAINSTORM WITH ME I NEED TO KNOW I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS

#trolls #trolls world tour #trolls dreamworks #oc #trolls oc #symphonic rock #hubris #orchestral pop #i listen to the likes of neoni tommee profitt ruelle and 2wei ofc im gonna push the cinematic type music #Opm #original pinoy music #dark pop #like it's pop but more eepy and with very concerning lyrics #very unlike the way pop trolls interpret their sound #but it works??? #trolls trollstopia

Today's compilation:

Great Records of the Decade: 60's Hits, Vol. 1 1990 Pop / Pop-Rock / Orchestral Pop / Surf Pop / Country

Kinda weird that a pretty sizeable and very eclectic label like Curb Records would license every single track for this budget comp of theirs from Capitol Records and then try to sell it as their own. Like, you guys have a big catalogue yourselves, with a lot of very recognizable names on your roster too. Why put together a budget CD of 60s hits that amounts to nothing but a sampler for another label? I get maybe going outside of your own vaults for a few tracks, but the whole thing? I know you received their permission and all, but, at the end of the day, this kinda feels like Toyota trying to sell a Honda or something. Can't really say that I fully understand the thought process that went into putting a release like this together.

That said, though, this is still a pretty terrific assortment of 60s pop hits, with a bunch of well remembered classics, like The Beach Boys' "Help Me, Rhonda" and Manfred Mann's "Doo Wah Diddy Diddy," presented alongside some tunes that, I think, have proven to be far less popular as time has proceeded to continuously march on. One such example is Little Anthony & the Imperials' "Goin' Out of My Head," an excellent piece of soulful orchestral pop from 1964 that starts out soft and then transcendently soars at its climactic peak, with lead singer Anthony Gourdine's naturally high pitch aided by a combination of strings and bounding beats of a drum. An epic, unorthodoxly constructed, and theatrical tune that peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

And another example is "Love Is a Hurtin' Thing," a classic soul joint by the great Lou Rawls, which marked both his first time atop the Billboard R&B chart and his first entry into the Hot 100's top 40 as well, making it all the way to #13. Rawls flexes his always full and butter-smooth voice on this one, never showing any rasp, despite getting movingly passionate in a couple different spots. And it's another one with superb accompanying instrumentation too.

Speaking of Rawls, did you know that there's another song on this album that at one point was actually intended to go to him as well? When Bobbie Gentry penned her gothic country chart-topping classic, "Ode to Billie Joe," she had him in mind to record it. Gentry wanted to sell the song to Capitol, who might then have given it to Rawls themselves, but rather than deciding to pay someone else to sing on a demo for it, she opted to sing on it herself instead. It was only supposed to be a B-side, but Capitol liked her raw, unpolished voice just fine, and then they decided to add some strings to it, and ultimately chose to release it as an A-side. "Billie Joe" would then end up serving as one of the biggest country songs of the entire decade, back when the genre wasn't so segregated from the rest of the pop charts in general, and it would be the biggest hit of Bobbie Gentry's own career, marking her very unexpected breakout with just her second single.

So, I don't really know why Curb Records decided to release this album in the first place—perhaps they thought there was a good chance at making a profit despite the licensing fees for each song—but they certainly did a good job anyway. A brief, but eclectic selection that mixes enormous hits with less remembered ones. It sort of feels like they wrote the name of each 60s Capitol hit on a small piece of paper, tossed all those pieces of paper into a hopper, gave that hopper a few tumbles, and then selected 13 songs at random from it and pressed them all to a CD 😅.

Good stuff, but no real consistent theme to any of it.

Highlights:

The Beach Boys - "Help Me, Rhonda" Jackie DeShannon - "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" Jan & Dean - "Surf City" Manfred Mann - "Doo Wah Diddy Diddy" Little Anthony & the Imperials - "Goin' Out of My Head" Bobbie Gentry - "Ode to Billie Joe" Lou Rawls - "Love Is a Hurtin' Thing" Glen Campbell - "Galveston" Wayne Newton - "Danke Schoen"

Mutual Benefit — Growing at the Edges (Transgressive)

As Mutual Benefit, Jordan Lee creates rich, complex, baroque folk-rock that rewards close listening. On his new release, Growing at the Edges, he employs the talents of a dozen other players to craft an album on which many of the songs patiently move though several movements via sophisticated arrangements. Part of the record’s undoubtable appeal is how it veers between swooningly romantic and chillingly melancholic, often during the course of a single song.

The fact that the instrumental interludes feel as intrinsic to the whole as the full-blown songs says a lot about how much attention Lee and co-producer Gabriel Birnbaum have paid to the arrangements. Early in the track list, “Remembering a Dream” is an elegant waltz featuring vibes, piano and strings, soon followed by the prominent woodwind intro of “Prefiguring.” Later in the record, “Winter Sun, Cloudless Sky” foregrounds wavering keys, and finale “Signal to Bloom” is an instrumental epilogue with prominent upright bass that revisits the melody of the opening title track, accompanied by wordless coos and lilting flute.

On the vocal songs, Lee’s voice may prove a hurdle for some. However, it sits so discreetly in the mix that it becomes a texture, the lyrics melding into the flow rather than a prominent feature. “Season of Flame” builds into a haunting coda, while “Wasteland Companions” offers up a crisp syncopated beat and rich swells of woodwinds. As the album progresses, there’s a gradual accumulation of themes and atmospheres that proves mesmerizing and deeply satisfying. This perhaps betrays the influence of Brian Wilson collaborator Van Dyke Parks, who had a winning way with the kinds of arrangements whose filigrees and elaborate instrumental contributions could prove intoxicating. Not to say that Lee quite belongs on the same plane, but this is a beautifully realized series of songs, and certainly his finest since 2013’s Love’s Crushing Diamond.

Domino Recording Company does contain a lot of interesting groups in their publishing and they also release the solo works of these bands' members. True, Owen Pallet is more of a session musician in that regard, because most of their work finds them augmenting the sound of a player that calls them for their contribution. However, the records they make on their own show a possibility of an orchestral pop for the modern times. I mean, Owen Pallett does occasionally remind me of The Last Shadow Puppets, had the latter taken a more alternative path. The tune on the link, for instance, seems cheerfully melancholic for the lack of a better description. Actually, Owen Pallett does bring this quality to many of their contributions to the other musicians.

I'm sick of everything

Find me when I’m disappearing

Painful times trap me endlessly

I don’t want to see them anymore

It can't be hidden so I force myself to ignore it

This is not what I wanted

My mind that wavers and sways

I meet myself again

In the empty mirror, I run and run into you

You turn around as if bewitched and blame me

Today's compilation:

20 Great Love Songs of the 50's & 60's, Volume 1 1988 Pop / Doo Wop / Girl Groups / Orchestral Pop

Gonna be going through this two-volume series of romantic oldies over the next couple of days that was put out by New York's Laurie Records, a little, independent label that proved to be something of a force throughout the 50s and 60s, especially during the doo wop era. Laurie's output and hit rate could never match that of a major label's, and they often released their singles one at a time, but for such a small operation, they really managed to punch above their weight a whole lot. Most famously, they launched the career of Dion Dimucci, who went on to deliver early 60s back-to-back pop classics "Runaround Sue" and "The Wanderer;" and they also had girl group The Chiffons, who had a few big hits in the early-to-mid-60s too, with their super catchy, chart-topping debut single, "He's So Fine"—fondly remembered for its constant 'doo-lang' backing vocal—appearing on this volume.

But this compilation here is really two things, because while a lot of these songs are from the Laurie catalog itself, most of the biggest hits aren't, like The Drifters' "Save the Last Dance for Me," which was a #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and The Skyliners' "Since I Don't Have You," which made it to #12. So, this CD is sort of representative of some of the biggest love songs of the 50s and 60s, but it's also an avenue to specifically promote Laurie's own music too.

And because of that, we thankfully end up getting a couple underheard gems that you wouldn't typically expect to see on a comp that claims to contain great love songs from over a two-decade period on it; songs like Dion & the Belmonts' "That's My Desire," a well-made late 50s doo wop ballad that predates Dion's own rise to solo stardom and was released as a B-side to their big #3 hit "Where or When;" and The Passions' "Gloria," another doo wop ballad by a quintet from Brooklyn that starred a terrific lead singer named Jimmy Gallagher, who sports a soul-stirring falsetto on this one. And The Passions appear to have only ever managed to chart nationally once, at #96, and it wasn't this song, so this one's a really nice find 👍.

Some true classics on here, but also a bit of a neat retrospective on the New York-based Laurie label too. And the little hits and the songs that failed to chart are where you might end up finding some good buried treasure here.

Highlights:

The Drifters - "Save the Last Dance for Me" The Skyliners - "Since I Don't Have You" The Chiffons - "He's So Fine" Dion & the Belmonts - "That's My Desire" The Passions - "Gloria"
