Unearthed, vol. 20 :: New Year’s Eve (1970s)

We’re back with a seasonally appropriate Unearthed mix of dusty live tapes, this one made up entirely of recordings from various New Years Eves throughout the 1970s. As with any good NYE party, it’s equal parts groovy, boozy and chaotic. Hit play at 10:30pm on December 31 and you can time it just right to hear JJ Cale welcome you to 1976.

Parliament/Funkadelic, “Maggot Brain” (Detroit 1977) ++ The Grateful Dead, “China Cat Sunflower / I Know You Rider” (San Francisco 1971) ++ DEVO, “Gotta Serve Somebody” (Long Beach 1979) ++ John Cale, “Casey at the Bat” (NYC 1977) ++ The Modern Lovers, “She Cracked” (NYC 1973) ++ Television, “Adventure” (NYC 1976) ++ Patti Smith, “Redondo Beach” (NYC 1976) ++ The Allman Brothers, “Mountain Jam” (New Orleans 1970) ++ Lou Reed, “Sister Ray” (Bryn Mawr 1972) ++ JJ Cale, “After Midnight” (Tulsa 1975)

Ah, the early parts of the writing process where you’re figuring out Just How Clever You Must Be. My favorite.

At least I’ve settled on a protagonist name.

She has been christened Vivian Schmerl. Hooray!

And I have no choice but to accept the way our lives are turning out

So UNEARTHED is Jason Todd inspired right?

I’m writing their protagonists’ parents as two different versions of Bruce:

the neglectful and brash side (that is used only as a plot device and contradicts his actual character)

and

the complacent side that tries hard to remedy past failings but always falls short (bc dc writers love drama for money making reasons).

BUT I’m so so so lost on writing the second half because it’s clear that these are conflicting personalities but the parent needs to have reasons for not caring.

I love character studies but this is agonizing
