Hi  :)
last days I saw some old Betty Boop cartoons.
"Bimbo's Initiaton" - really surrealistic ( [Sweetmelly] like Franz Kafka [/Sweetmelly] )...
"Betty Boop's Snowwhite" --- soooooo cool: Betty Boop, Koko the Clown, Bimbo ... and in the background Cab Calloway singing "Saint James Infirmary Blues" ....  :) wow!  :cool:
.........
Well, topic of this thread should be the Golden 20s and the Swinging 30s  :)
You have to know: I'm a great fan of 20s (and 30s) music, cartoons, movies, clothes, style, culture, etc. ...
It was a cool time, and if you think so too, this is the right thread for you  :)
Talk --> here <-- about the culture of the 20s and 30s (but not about the 30s in Germany)

Most old cartoons suck donkey arse. They can be incredibly repetitive, with stupid characters singing stupid songs, doing stupid dances.

What I like about the 30's? Jazz music I guess.

Hey let 's talk about the 30's in Germany.

The most problematic thing about the old cartoons is the fact the good ones are not shown. Cartoon Network has been showing a lot of the early Popeye cartoons, a lot better then I remember from my childhood. Also helps to know the time period there the toons were made, makes them much more interesting.

Hey - that's ironic ... I hope so... this thread should be to talk about the culture, music, etc. ... in the more or lessdemocratic nations of that time (includes Germany till 1933) ...
If you wanna talk about Germany in the middle and late 30s pleace open another tread. :p
............................. ..........
............................. ..........

So, what do you think about Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong or Ella Fitzgerald?
"Saint James Infirmary Blues" is cool... Also songs like "Down by the Riverside", "What a wonderful World" and other ...

Okay

In a party to end all partys, Germany celebrated the passing off another decade, by invading Poland.     :p

Im sorry couldnt resist, i love you [stanboardman]germans[/stanboardman] really

Anway, anyone else find betty boo, really odd looking, or is it just me?

I reckon the 1920's (before the depression) was a great time, apparently the debauchery that went on has been widely underestimated.

Jazz is the last refuge for the untalented. 

It's impossible like a form of music that the musicians are clearly enjoying far more than the listener.

Compared to the horror of the 60's, the 20's and 30's was the golden age of cartooning. Most of the Looney Toons (like Pepe Le Pew, Roadrunner & Will E. Coyote, Daffy Duck, etc) are still worth seeing today. Compare those to what have come out of the Disney Studios lately, and what Hannah and Barbera made and it's no competition.

Sure sure, most Tom & Jerry cartoons were good.
I meant the even older cartoons, like the ones you see in the beginning of Futurama. The first Mickey Mouse ones are a good example.

Well, there was a crisis in 1930, but what you're talking about happened in 1923.
1923 the first German Republic (the so called "Weimar Republic") still had to pay "Reperations payments" to the winners of WW1. 1923 The French army occupyed the German regions at the river Rhine, saying Germany's not paying enough Reperation payments. But it was just that France want to control all coal mines and the industry around the Rhine.  The German chancellor at that time arranged thereupon a passive resistance on, which heavily harmed the unstably German economy.  At the high point of the crisis bread costs surely 10 billion Marks (see, the currency was worthless.  1925 the crisis were settled diplomatically.

Goody, the cartoons meant to rouse American film audiences between the news, stuff like that. Most of it sucked, apart from Tom & Jerry. WB took a little while to get into gear, but Tom & Jerry was always there  :D

I'm a big Louis Armstrong (trumpet player for one), Ella Fitzgerald and Cab Calloway fan. Cab was particularily fun in The Blues Brothers.  :D

Melllvar, I'm afraid you're going to have to die now.  Jazz owns you and your mother.

Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, and Glen Miller.  Aww yeah.

mmmmhmmmm jazz is awesome!
growing up in Chicago, which was the center of all the debauchery in the states in the 20's i know all about it.
i adore real jazz from the 20's 30's & 40's not this synth jazz they have now. Loius Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Josephine Baker, they all move me.
the boxy dresses, heavy eye makeup, high heeled shoes i all would love to emulate had i the money.
the former speak easys are always a delight to find when i go to the city. the artwork of the period, i feel i should have been born a roaring 20's parisan or an early 1800's geisha.

Back in school, I was in a Big Band. It really went off cuz we were actually pretty good! I miss that, we played alot of things from 30s and 40s, alot of Glenn Miller, and I really like 50s Swing. We even played some shitty modern stuff, but I think it eventually got cleaned out  :p
I love the 50s era. The cars, the clothing, the guys and gals. Drinking milkshakes and not being ashamed!! hehe nah, but I really love seeing stuff from there. Especially the dancing. If I could learn, I would  :D

Some of the big band stuff, is relatively tolerable, but some of it is just musical masturbation. 

Being a student of my instrument, I'm very much aware of the work of the likes of Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa - they were the masters.

My music of choice from the 30's is Blues.  Dirty music from the mud of the Mississippi Delta, like Robert "Crossroads" Johnson.

Oh yeah, the 30's were a real swinging time. Great Depression, WWII... good times, good times...

Grampa: You had to swindle during the depression, either that or work.

A friend of mien was relaying me a story their grandfather told about being a kid during the Depression. He said they chewed tar instead of gum, cause tar was free and gum was too expencive. Why didn't he just not chew anything was my question. I was given no answer.

TLL, I like this thread you started. Except for your inexplicable fondness of Herman's Hermits, you have exquisite taste.  ;) If the '30s in general and Jazz in particular interests you, if you haven't seen it already I would highly recommend the documentary show "Jazz" by Ken Burns, shown in the US on PBS. Burns is the same guy who made the Civil War documentary, and it's done in the same style.

You know, I think we would get along famously, what with you being a lesbian and me being a lesbian trapped in man's body...  :D
