I take this personally. Like the taliban blowing up those blashemous statues, you stand poised to correct your version of the past. Get over the past it stopped being the present long ago. What will be next? What will become unacceptable or politically incorrect? Who gets to choose what is remembered and what is forgotten. Looks like the trendy, self loathing and chronicly entitled like to pick and choose what parts of what they want to use and discard the reest.

Throwing the post natal fetus out with the bathing liquid so to day. Freedom of speech, unless it's something you don't want to hear Sad, but amazing. Reviewer: Lucas Gonze - favorite favorite favorite favorite - January 4, Subject: hottest recording of its time The Vess Ossman banjo breaks on this are incredibly raw and wild for their time. I haven't heard anything comparable before James Reese Europe's recordings in Needless to say this was a commercial decision, and he did make bank on it.

You can't judge their racism by our standards. Lynching was at its historical peak, and at the same time things were getting better for blacks for the first time since slavery began in the 17th century. The fact that this was a black songwriter working independently and succeeding is remarkable.

I'm not sure that even Collins and Ossman would want this thing preserved for the sake of posterity. Even the title is misleading.

If they were actually refrring to the animal known as a Raccoon I would have to admit there IS a strong superficial resemblance from one to another. But as a human being I've heard too much garbage like this talked in my time to allow it to pass without comment let alone to find it amusing. This song was released in You want to maintain that these performers couldn't tell him from Tom, the railway porter?

And another thing I noticed one reviewer indicating they considered the title to be true "just politically incorrect to say". Oh, really? You wouldn't be able to tell the difference between, say, Wesley Snipes, and Al, the cab driver?

About the song itself I'm just not sure we need to save the actual recordings. Just a note about "The Jazz Singer". It is not a portrait of an black performerit is Al Jolson who often performed in black face for the freedom it gave not to have to act or sing like some stuffy white guy and it is deservedly a classic.

The last reviewer spoke, in his attempts to support a denigrating film, of "coon songs" and how they were a natural part of the happy negro of the past, and how they may indeed, if gangsta rap be believed, be a part of the happy negro of today. I'm being a little facetious, but not much. My conclusion though is a little different. It was very much, with few exceptions the great Oscar Micheaux comes to mind, and even he had his best films cut to ribbons or outright destroyed a market from financing to censorship to theatrical approval of institutionalized racism, of Black actors yes, but at the whims of White messages.

Same thing happens today. And suddenly the artists who are getting the record deals aren't the ones doing the pro-community raps, but suddenly you have the suits promoting this Gangsta Rap to the exclusion of everything else.

Ignorant kids, who don't know any better, hired to perpetuate ignorance. That when you look at it And toss in a lot of Niggas and Hos". Black Actors, White Messages. Halle Berry And Denzel Washington are gifted actors.

But they don't get academy awards for being gifted actors. Halle Berry gets an Academy award for playing a hor and Washington for playing a dirty, crazed, thug cop. All their performances and that's the one that's "black enough for you' that is award winning? Black actors, White messages. My point? Contrary to the last review, because you see it in a film, or hear it in a song, doesn't make it a historical document of the time, doesn't make it the truth of a people, but rather it is the lie of the medium.

It is the voice of racism, the voice of apologists for institutionalized prejudice, and sadly the voice of reviewers even on this board. The history of Hollywood, is the history of a medium obsessed with promoting negative images of color.

That is not even open to debate. It's an oft-repeated fact, extending even to today. And it perpetuates because of people like some of these reviewers. And you can always tell one of these people because they love to use the term of political correctness, and everytime you hear or see that word from them Try it, it really does work. And it's laughable. People angry or derisive about having to act with decency and with respect to other people.

So no this film isn't a historical document, it's not a cinematic treasure, it is the product of a bigoted time, and at best should be a cautionary tale for all people of color, to be wary of those who would use you poorly.

So let's help retire it, permanently. Reviewer: joezilch - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - May 13, Subject: fantastic clip Wonderful audio, good quality! This clip, judging by the comments, is misunderstood both in content and purpose for archiving.

She says, 'I don't like you no how, all coons look alike to me' in a pretty early version of women's lib stance, in that one man is pretty much the same as another, so she'll take the one who spends his money on her.

That makes it social comedy on several levels when originally released and one reviewer is correct that 'coon songs' were a category of pop music as concrete and popular as bluegrass or hip-hop. The audio is excellent despite what one reviewer wrote what on earth are they comparing it to, my father is one of the country's largest private collectors and I grew up listening to 78s, this is very good and the lyrics are quite clear While it does represent or match, anyhow what were then overtly stated white views of blacks, it also represents general views of blacks in all shades of culture and it's no surprise a black man wrote it.

That doesn't make him stupid, an Uncle Tom or self-hating, it just makes him the writer of a popular song that surely made a lot of people smile. A reviewer mistunderstood another's comment, thinking they were saying that it was true but politically incorrect to say 'all coons look alike to me'. Now, leaving aside the fact that this song has a black woman saying that, the person didn't write that at all, only that overt bigotry had gone out of fashion Overt is out of fashion, one doesn't run into it that often, but the bigotry is still there, of course.

So, no, you don't hear 'nigga' and 'coon' in common speech these days, at least not without quotation marks and an explanation, but the past would be misrepresented were we to pretend that was always the case. According to the wikipedia article, in his later years, he regretted using the derogatory term. Reviewer: trailerlord - - July 21, Subject: pejurative term I don't know how black folk felt about the name "coon" but it was common.

In the Sears catalogue of , there are lists of records that would include descriptions like "coon song" or "coon love song". Relatively good sound quality. Hot banjo action from "Plunks" Ossman. Standard disclaimers regarding period racism and Jim Crow culture apply, etc. Reviewer: rsadler - favorite favorite favorite - December 22, Subject: uninhibated not that funny racism This novelty song is uninhibated yet not that funny racism.

The song title is the best part. The quality is so low hard to understand. But to realize this white unspoken aside survived from then to the s til now? It is the openness that marks the change in time. Goodbye 5. Now and Then 6. Seamless 7. Finding It So Hard 8. Fool 9. Hate Again radio edit Absurd 2. Junkie Shuffle 3. Sham 4. Men Like You Total Time I'd never heard of Archive until I picked up this album dirt cheap.

The cover is enough to put you off, with it's 70's style US school yearbook photos. Once you get past that though, the album is worth picking up for the first track "Again" alone.

Those who enjoy the earlier work of Porcupine Tree will find much to satisfy them here. The song is similar in some ways to Porcupine Tree's "The sky moved sideways", with its hypnotic rhythm and building themes. The rest of the tracks do not achieve the high standards of "Again", but are nonetheless, of a consistently high quality. The version I have differs in terms of presentation from that shown above in that it has seven tracks, but some of the track lengths are longer with for example "Goodbye" and "Now and then" simply becoming "Goodbye".

It has elements of their previous work but it is clearly veering into a floydian style of ambient electronic, progressive rock. The music varies from slow to medium paced, from gentle to driving. There are interesting portions where instruments not normally associated with any of these genres are utilized such as Violin, viola, harmonica and trumpet. Archive have a capable singer, whose style reminds me of Smashing Pumpkins guitarist singer, Billy Coragan, is Craig Walker, who I might add is ably backed up by a couple lady singers.

Killer Songs Truly a sixteen minute masterpiece, Again starts out innocent enough with a subtle repetitive acoustic guitar riff and keyboard backing Walker's melancholy vocal accusations: " You're killing me again Am I still in your head? You used to light me up Now you shut me down " Walker's singing is never better than it is on this song. He starts out, as the song does, gentle almost delicate and as the song picks up steam through the middle so does Walker pick up emotion.

Then the pace picks up a little with a distorted guitar, drums and a stronger harmonica. There is a classic Floyd sound from here on out. At eight or so minutes the song really gets going and the singer Walker is practically crying, he's so emotive. Sound effects are replete and you're saying to yourself, please don't end and then at about the eleven minute mark the music stops and slowly starts up again ala "Welcome to the Machine". By now you are practically drained but you know when it's over you got to play it "Again" and then you figure out where they got the name, because you'll play it again and again and agai After "Again" everything is a let down though "Numb" is a pretty good song, with a driving beat and the disharmonic guitar is back for an encore, though what few lyrics are evident on the song are fairly unintelligible.

Now this is no "Again" but if there was no "Again" it would seem pretty good. Near eight minutes the heavy beat is back but infinitely more interesting. I agree with that and while we're at it let's add Anathema and Pain of Salvation into the mix but let's face it, aren't there Floyd influences in all those bands.

I must say that over the first few tracks after this lengthy but unrepresentative again, I was sort of pleasantly intrigued, but over the full length of the album, fatigue, disinterest and boredom had set in. But before we get to the end of the album, let's start it, for a beginning!
