Frayle - wandering star

#np #portishead

I think a lot about how I grew up in fortuitous windows of #syndication.

First up was #CaptainScarlet (and the Mysterons),* the lesser-known cousin of #Thunderbirds by the Andersons. First aired 1967–68, syndicated on the BBC in the 1990s and dubbed into #HeritageLanguage(s) including Hindi!

I definitely got my first taste of mid-century modern furniture and fashion, a love for Chicago's corn-cob brutalist #MarinaCity, the suspicion of oligopolies, grand narratives of terrorism and cowboy heroism, and the early lesson of 'good doesn't always win' and there are serious consequences and collateral damage inflicted on ordinary people in war. While the main character being immortal turns into 'suicide mission of the week', and there's a lot of dated stereotypes, there's a lot of ground that's covered as a kids show that you probably couldn't get away with now. (The fear in the music still gives me chills).

My favourite takeaway is how it uses mixed media. Live-action effects (like fire and the signature two ring lights) on #puppet-sets. Real objects like clocks. Every 'hand-based' interaction uses filmed hands (#ScottMcCloud describes a similar effect in #UnderstandingComics using naturalism to achieve intimacy). And the credits use an animation style that tells the stories they didn't tell. I love how it all works together as a unit.

*Yes, those Mysterons and that track covered and reimagined by #Portishead.
(This might turn into a series of toots? If so this is 1/n.)

Bonjour ⏰️☕️🫂
Une belle reprise, un peu tristoune pour le réveil.

Tonight's #soundtrack is Blackest Blue by #Morcheeba.

Their first album #BigCalm was definitive of the Bristol Sound™️. Smooth, original, and great for dinner parties.

Their next two albums were retreads. Not bad at all, but added nothing to their identity nor the sound they and #Portishead helped shape.

In this album, their back, with the most introspective, warm, and present collection of songs since their Inception.

Just listen to the soul of this song...

Twisted Metal is such a self aware show that it is fantastic. I went in expecting something silly & I got that plus much more.

Fun story, great action & they played #Portishead in one episode!!

@Peacock has a hit here & I hope we get a season 2! #TwistedMetal

Beth Gibbons, 2015.

Le 01/08/1994, #Portishead a sorti "Sour Times" - le deuxième single de leur premier album studio "Dummy". Une petite merveille musicale.

En juin 95 sortira "Glory Times" 2 disques offrants les deux titres remix sous différentes formes, "Sour Times" (4 Remix) sur le disque 1 et
"Glory Box" (5 remix) sur le disque deux.

These albums have enriched my life immeasurably, I’m sure some of you 90s/00s kids can relate! I put them in my personal chronological order here, the order in which I bought them and fell in love with them. If it hadn't been for them I wouldn't be a musician! What are your faves?

3. #TheClash - Combat Rock
4. #Gorillaz - Demon Days

@alternativenation a friend of mine introduced me to #Portishead when they were still active, and it was very different to music either of us usually listened to at that time. I still really like them.

I still associate the song Wandering Star with the science fiction show Babylon 5 😄
My mind just made a connection there somehow and now I'm stuck with it.

Probably the best #Portishead song
It’s perfect 😍
