We discuss the differences between writing his book Postcards From Scotland and making these films, the UK press and their relationships with Scottish bands, the turmoil at the early Jesus & Mary Chain shows, both Postcard & Fast Product Records influencing Factory & Rough Trade records, how The Bay City Rollers were a massive influence on the early indie music scene, the genesis and integrity of Teenage Fanclub, early Scottish post-punk bands Josef K and Scars, choosing Kim Deal of The Breeders & Robert Foster of The Go-Betweens to narrate the films, the stress of making documentaries, the supportiveness of the Scottish music scenes, The Vaselines & Captain America being massive influences on (and friends) of Nirvana, BMX Bandits, Orange Juice and Soup Dragons changing their sounds, Stephen Pastel's ears getting sunburned after a haircut and more!So let's start a musical riot in under 12 minutes on this week's revolutions per movie!GRANT McPHEE:https://grantmcpheedirector.com/https://omnibuspress.com/products/postcards-from-scotland-scottish-independent-music-1983-1995ALL THREE FILMS ARE STREAMING ONLINEREVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE:Host Chris Slusarenko (Eyelids, Guided By Voices, owner of Clinton Street Video rental store) is joined by actors, musicians, comedians, writers & directors who each week pick out their favorite music documentary, musical, music-themed fiction film or music videos to discuss.

A 12 x 8.5cm ‘Correspondenzkarte', the earliest progenitor of the modern-day postcard, was created by the Austrian Post on 1st October, 1869. Cheaper and more practical than sending long-form letters, the new medium was an instant sensation with the public - with three million postcards being sent in the first three months. But cultural conservatives felt it would lead to poor grammar, a capitulation of individuality, and a brash new form of self-expression... In this episode, Arion, Olly and Rebecca reveal the indomitability of the Isle of Man's postcard censorship committee; revisit the career of the ‘King of the Saucy Seaside', Donald McGill; and  unearth the frustrated adventures of ‘the wronged true inventor of the postcard', Dr. Heinrich Von Stephan.

645. Part 2 of our interview with David Ballantyne about post Civil-War Reconstruction of the Red River Valley. He has given the history on the area in his book, Fractured Freedoms: Reconstruction in Central Louisiana. “Fractured Freedoms is a riveting history of central Louisiana from the 1860s to the 1890s, focusing on majority-Black Rapides Parish during Reconstruction. Using the region as a case study, Ballantyne reveals what is, in part, a rural Reconstruction success story, emphasizing the resilience of Black politics and the persistence of significant divisions among white residents that allowed the Republican Party to gain and maintain power there. It was only with the collapse of state-level Republican power in 1877 that Democratic forces in the parish were able to dismantle local Republican political control and gradually constrict Black freedoms" (LSU Press).

Rebecca van Laer, "First Date."    She orders oysters, of course I don't know how to do this, to slip a three-pronged fork under the white flesh of some mollusk and wiggle soft globes of muscle from the black mass of shell, the lemongrass broth the dense gem swims in —     how to pop it out and into my mouth and then suck, savor the dense slip of it, then again: a sequence of teasing, eating, repeating, and this is only    our appetizer. I'm gulping My glass of pinot grigio, wet fingerprints along the stem because I can't pronounce the name of a single entrée, meet her eyes across a candelabra with the weight     of a fresco above her head, ridiculous cherubs entreating with their fat blue eyes. Beside, the dark drapes and the billowing shapes of tablecloths curtain off any eaves this conversation could fade into, so it's spotlight     perspective, precarious. She's tongue tumbling into me, an outpouring of asks until I spill sauce, a thin line of it down the buttons on my blouse — she dabs     at me with her burgundy napkin, freshly dampened for the task. I shut my eyes and feel the whirl of the room, the orangey angels and her dry palms pressed against my chest, wonder if I'll open up full-mouthed and mind-tied.   This week in Louisiana history.

Faulkner was one of the South's greatest writers. He wrote this novel about the artists he had met in the French Quarter. He put them on a yacht that took them through Lake Pontchartrain until they ran aground and were stranded for several days. That's right, Faulkner basically created Gilligan's Isle.     "The violet dusk held in soft suspension lights slow as bellstrokes, Jackson square was now a green and quiet lake in which abode lights round as jellyfish, feathering with silver mimosa and pomegranate and hibiscus beneath which lantana and cannas bled and bled. Pontalba and cathedral were cut from black paper and pasted flat on a green sky; above them taller palms were fixed in black and soundless explosions. The street was empty, but from Royal street there came the hum of a trolley that rose to a staggering clatter, passed on and away leaving an interval filled with the gracious sound of inflated rubber on asphalt, like a tearing of endless silk. Clasping his accursed bottle, feeling like a criminal, Mr. Talliaferro hurried on.     "He walked swiftly beside a dark wall, passing small indiscriminate shops dimly lighted with gas and smelling of food of all kinds, fulsome, slightly overripe. The proprietors and their families sat before the doors in tilted chairs, women nursing babies into slumber spoke in soft south European syllables one to another. Children scurried before him and about him, ignoring him or becoming aware of him and crouching in shadow like animals, defensive, passive and motionless." This week in Louisiana history. September 20, 1717. Gov. LePinay recalled to France after "ruining the colony." This week in New Orleans history.

This postcard shows Nela Park in Cleveland, Ohio, home to the General Electric Company's experimental headquarters. More than just an industrial site, Nela Park became one of the most famous research campuses in the United States. It represented innovation, wartime contributions, and the lives of thousands of Cleveland-area families. Mailed in 1944, the card also carries a personal note that connects the grand story of science and industry to the smaller, everyday rhythms of life...

This vintage postcard captures a sweeping view of Bridgeport, Ohio, and Wheeling Island in Wheeling, West Virginia. The Ohio River bends through the middle of the scene, crossed by several bridges that carried workers, families, and goods from one side of the river to the other. Postcards like this were small treasures of the early 20th century. They preserved local landmarks, and today they serve as important historical records for genealogists and historians alike...

643. Part 2 of our conversation with Roxanne Harde about the Tremé series. Roxanne Harde on the Tremé series. "Set in post-Katrina New Orleans, this hour-long drama series, from executive producers David Simon and Eric Overmyer, follows the lives of ordinary residents as they struggle with the after-effects of the 2005 hurricane. Says star and New Orleans native Wendell Pierce, 'The only things people had to hang on to were the rich traditions we knew that survived the test of time before: our music, food and family, family that included anyone who decided to accept the challenge to return.' The large ensemble cast is supported by notable real-life New Orleanians, including many of its famous musicians." "Roxanne Harde is Professor of English at the University of Alberta's Augustana Faculty, where she also serves as Associate Dean, Research. A McCalla University Professor, Roxanne researches and teaches American literature and culture, focusing on popular culture, women's writing and children's literature, and Indigenous literature."

The South needs “Yankees.” An ex-Confederate, discussing Alexandria, said: “A dozen live Yankees would regenerate this town, and make fortunes at it.” They would pave the streets, cover in the sewers, build up the vacant spots in the heart of the city, supply mechanical work at less inhuman prices than are now charged, and make this rich and intelligent community as attractive in appearance as the citizens are socially. One such man has made a new city of Alexandria. He has made the people pave their streets, put in modern sewerage, water, electricity, etc., build most creditable structures to house the public officials, and in a word, has “hustled the South,” till it had to put him temporarily out of office until it got its “second wind.” This week in Louisiana history.

Cincinnati has always been a city that valued its public spaces, and one of its most fascinating historic gathering places was Chester Park. While the postcard image gives us only a glimpse of a statue in a pavilion with the clubhouse in the background, the story of Chester Park goes much deeper. For decades, it was one of Cincinnati's favorite spots for leisure, recreation, and community life. To understand its history is to open a window into how people in the late 19th and early 20th centuries lived, worked, and played. Chester Park was established in the 1870s, during a period of explosive growth in Cincinnati. The city had become a hub of industry, trade, and immigration. As families flocked to Cincinnati for work, city leaders and entrepreneurs realized the importance of creating spaces where people could escape from crowded neighborhoods and the smoke of the factories. Parks were not only beautiful, but they also reflected civic pride and offered healthier surroundings for the public. Chester Park was designed with this in mind. It wasn't just a simple green lawn—it was a planned space filled with gardens, statues, fountains, and tree-lined walkways. It was meant to be a place where families could stroll together, young couples could walk arm in arm, and civic organizations could hold meetings or events in elegant surroundings. The grand clubhouse, seen in this postcard, became a centerpiece for gatherings, dances, and social events...

Every city has a spot that feels like its true center, the place where people gather and memories are made. For Cincinnati, that place has always been Fountain Square. It's where families have met up for generations, where kids toss coins into the water, and where people pause for a moment to take in the rhythm of the city. This old postcard brings that feeling back, showing the Tyler Davidson Fountain—better known as the Genius of Water—standing tall in the middle of downtown...

Chimney Rock is one of those places that's impossible to forget once you've seen it. Rising more than 200 feet into the air, that massive granite column looks like it's reaching up to hold the sky. With an American flag at the top, it feels like a landmark that was always meant to be there—solid, steadfast, and full of meaning. Nature shaped it, but for us, it's been a source of inspiration, a family destination, and even a Hollywood filming location. The postcard I've got here captures Chimney Rock sometime around the middle of the last century. On the front, you see it rising proudly above the trees, flag waving in the mountain breeze. What makes the colors pop is that old linen-style printing that was popular in those days. Instead of a flat photograph, you get something almost painterly, with glowing colors that make the scene come alive. Flip it over, and the back is just as interesting—it calls the formation the “Mighty Chimney” and promises breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Hickory Nut Gorge, Lake Lure, and the Piedmont Plain. Even if you'd never set foot in North Carolina, just reading that little blurb would have stirred your imagination...

"Set in post-Katrina New Orleans, this hourlong drama series, from executive producers David Simon and Eric Overmyer, follows the lives of ordinary residents as they struggle with the aftereffects of the 2005 hurricane. Says star and New Orleans native Wendell Pierce, 'The only things people had to hang on to were the rich traditions we knew that survived the test of time before: our music, food and family, family that included anyone who decided to accept the challenge to return.' The large ensemble cast is supported by notable real-life New Orleanians, including many of its famous musicians." "Roxanne Harde is Professor of English at the University of Alberta's Augustana Faculty, where she also serves as Associate Dean, Research.

Some postcards capture landscapes or landmarks; others capture a moment of pride. This one from Morgantown, West Virginia, does both. On the front, a yellow Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) car glides along its elevated guideway, the Appalachian hills forming a textured backdrop. On the back, a handwritten date—October 3, 1994—sits alongside the publisher's mark from Paige Creations and a credit to photographer Janet Paige Bonsall. For me, those small touches are what make postcards feel like secret storytellers.

Dean Karayanis of the Rush Limbaugh Show and the New York Sun sits in for Derek to groove you into the weekend. A look at the Democrats bungling their response to President Trump's crime initiatives and a New York Daily News hit piece on the legendary Gloria Gaynor for daring to support conservative candidates. Plus, a preview of Dean's Substack, "Postcards from the Shed," looks at the legacy of "Young Frankenstein," the "walk this way" bit's origin, how it saved Aerosmith and helped bring rap into the mainstream when Run-DMC covered the song in 1986.

Why were postcards invented and why do they still exist? Why do we fib about our vacations and say they're better than they are? Alie stopped into the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan and talked to curator of 40+ years, Donna Braden, about her work with the postcard collections -- as well as her musings about how we create our stories about ourselves, why Americans love to hit the open road and what the biggest postcard you're allowed to mail is.

This week in the Louisiana Anthology. Walt Whitman came to New Orleans for 3 months to write at the New Orleans Crescent. There he saw things he had not seen in New York. This poem is about one of those.  "I Saw in Louisiana a Live-Oak Growing." I saw in Louisiana a live-oak growing, All alone stood it and the moss hung down from the branches, Without any companion it grew there uttering joyous leaves of dark green, And its look, rude, unbending, lusty, made me think of myself, But I wonder'd how it could utter joyous leaves standing alone there without its friend near, for I knew I could not, And I broke off a twig with a certain number of leaves upon it, and twined around it a little moss, And brought it away, and I have placed it in sight in my room, It is not needed to remind me as of my own dear friends, (For I believe lately I think of little else than of them,) Yet it remains to me a curious token, it makes me think of manly love; For all that, and though the live-oak glistens there in Louisiana solitary in a wide flat space, Uttering joyous leaves all its life without a friend a lover near, I know very well I could not. This week in Louisiana history. August 23, 1714. St. Denis begins his exploration of Red River Valley. This week in New Orleans history. The grass-roots organization Levees.org, founded by Sandy Rosenthal and her son Stanford (while exiled in Lafayette after Hurricane Katrina) is devoted to educating America on the facts associated with the 2005 catastrophic flooding of the New Orleans region. On August 23, 2010 the group installed a Louisiana State Historic Marker which reads “On August 29, 2005, a federal floodwall atop a levee on the 17th Street Canal, the largest and most important drainage canal for the city, gave way here causing flooding that killed hundreds. This breach was one of 50 ruptures in the Federal Flood Protection System on that day. In 2008, the US District Court placed responsibility for this floodwall's collapse squarely on the US Army Corps of Engineers.” This week in Louisiana.
