    Greetings,

    In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <https://www.furious.com/perfect/index1022.html>, you'll find (among other things):

    KASENETZ-KATZ SINGING ORCHESTRA
    Bubblegum pop is good for you, by Kurt Wildermuth
    "The label "fringe time capsule" applies well to The Kasenetz-Katz Singing Orchestral Circus, a vintage LP that made it out of the analog era but just barely. This pop-cultural artifact was released by New York's Buddah (later, correctly, Buddha) Records
    in 1968... Kasenetz and Katz coined the term "bubblegum music" to characterize their principal products, which were targeted toward teenagers and other gum-chewers with expendable income."


    SOUL OF PROTEST
    Godfather of Soul, Marvin, Kendrick lead the way, by Dr. Tamara Hill
    "Even though the musical landscape has transformed as an entity, Black artists performing songs about protest and resistance have been expanded to include police brutality, mass incarceration, war, AIDS and a continual demand for equality that has never
    ceased."


    We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.

    See you online,
    Jason
