LORD JELLICOE
The Big Bamboo (A Ribald Calypso)
1965 Jamaica pressing

A very low-brow but very fun #Calypso record gets last spin of the night.

When I bought this from a bargain bin a few years ago, I must admit I did so because there was a big cartoon cock and balls on the cover wearing a hat with a bird on it.

The title is fairly accurate. These songs are absurd, bizarre, & filthy, and not so thinly veiled. In fact, the opening song, “The Big Bamboo” is just one huge dick joke, set to light and airy tropical fare.

There’s also a song about flies who shit everywhere. 💩

A very entertaining record, and 100% APE APPROVED, due to my 12 year old sense of humor.

That being said, find somebody else to describe “My Pussin” to you.

Calypso bulbosa, calypso orchid. This was very exciting for me. I always have lived in places where they are supposed to be native, but they get extirpated by habitat loss and also people pick them (I have deliberately not said where these are). They do not transplant.

Four colour photos of the orchid flower, on leafy/mossy green backgrounds. WIkipedia says: "Plant blooms with a purple-pink hermaphroditic, zygomorphic and threefold flower. The protruding petals and sepals are pink to purple in color, about 10 to 12 millimeters long and about 2 to 4 millimeters wide. The lip (labellum) is white to pink with pink or yellow spots. It has a wide, shoe-shaped cavity in the back and is about 15 to 25 millimeters long. A spur is absent." In the case of these individuals, the markings on the labellum are deep magenta through dark red and there are two small spurs at the front of the labellum.
This was very exciting for me. I always have lived in places where they are supposed to be native, but they get extirpated by habitat loss and also people pick them (I have deliberately not said where these are). They do not transplant.

This individual is a bit older with darker spots, and spider has built a very open web around it.

In this photo you can clearly see the deep magenta-red striping on the back of the "shoe".

Hard Bad Strange Days ... :ohnobubble:

So I went to downtown for my usual monthly visit to the records store, in the search of Cheap SLACK and good vibes sounds.

Again great second hand finds.

Caribean mood with Mr Harry Belafonte, Josephine Baker or Robert Mitchum, and other classics.

Been a long time since I’ve spun this one. A really fun, funky, jazzy offering from the Caribbean Islands.
A little sunshine on a dark, wet, miserable day.
We even had an 4.5 EARTHQUAKE today, which I didn’t notice because I was lost in music. 😂

Edit: Holy cow! I just looked this up on Discogs!
Yikes!
Certainly not the $2 I paid for it.

On this clear St Brigid's day — at the outset of this Year of the Wood Snake — the January installment of Polylith arrives.

Navigating WordPress.com Changes: Where did my dashboard go?!

It only took two and a half months since my last post for a major change to happen to our WordPress.com experience.

TPTB (AKA Automattic, WordPress.com’s parent company) decided this month that it will make WordPress.com much closer to the core WordPress experience. They first switched several of our site dashboards to the WP Admin view. This caused the Classic Editor to temporarily disappear. They also turned off the VIEW tab on those same dashboards, which removed the ability to switch between the Default/Calypso view and Classic/WP Admin view.

Then, a few days later they finally announced it officially in this post:

You’ll want to read the entire thing, including comments. (Aside: I haven’t seen that many comments on a WordPress.com News blog post in years. And if you want to leave feedback about the change, there’s currently an open sticky post in our Community forums – now closed.)

Now it’s the Classic/WPAdmin view all the time in those dashboards and there are at least two known issues:

Lost: the ability to edit comments without using HTML.
Lost: the ability to schedule reshare a post to social media (available on Premium and up).

Being a longtime site owner here can sometimes makes me feel like I’m on a roller coaster, especially since this particular site focuses on changes to WordPress.com itself. And there have been a lot of changes, even since 2021. What we really need is stability so we can write and not wrestle with our workflow all the time.

Your thoughts?

As always, the information in this post is correct as of publication date. Changes are inevitable.

JenT toot on Mastodon: Overwhelmingly negative comments so far from WPcom site owners on the switch to the WP Admin interface in some of our dashboards (Posts, Categories, Tags, Pages, Comments, Portfolios and Testimonials).

Mid #80s Jamaica pressing

Is it #folk ?
Is it #reggae ?
Is it #calypso ?

Yes.
And all three get my last spin of the night.

Dude had a 45 year career and made great records. I haven’t got them all yet, but I’m getting close.
I just need Jamaica Calling & Keith Here And There.

“Angelina” is incredible. Man, I love that song. Hauntingly beautiful.
