Some Songs I Like

Howdy folks, it’s been a while since I last posted anything here at UWD so I thought the best way is to post what I’ve been doing the past month or so. The last few mixes I released were over a year ago so I thought it was time to put something out again. These are just some songs I really dig and enjoy playing at the various events I’ve done in the past few months. Take a listen and let me know what you think. I will be posting mixes every 2 weeks just to keep you guys in the loop with hot tracks that are being released.

It’s The Beatles Yellow Submarine Movie

There are those who believe (as I do) that Yellow Submarine is an allegory for World War II, or the Twentieth Century European wars in general. Here are some of the supposed congruences.
Blue Meanies = Nazis This one is fairly easy to state because of the vagueness of the assertion. However, many of the remaining congruences appear to support it.
Pepperland = Europe at Peace
Dreadful Flying Glove = Luftwaffe
Anti-Music Missiles = V1 buzz-bombs
Clowns = V2 rockets – press the button, nothing happens in between, then BOOM at the other end in pepperland.
England = Ally across the water
Beatles = British military, or Americans if you want to push it.
Apple Bonkers = Aerial bombing

…it goes on and on. Admittedly, some of these derive from each other instead of supporting each other; however, it still makes the movie more fun to watch.
The initial invasion of Pepperland equates to the Anschluss and blitzkrieg invasion of Poland. The Lord Mayor’s denial of the invasion represents the air of denial and appeasement that prevailed at the time, and the dispatch of Young Fred to get help signified the Dunkirk debacle.

If we continue on in this vein, the Beatles agreeing to help would represent the people of the Allies agreeing to fight the threat and pitching in as democracies (mostly).

I don’t know to what degree this makes sense and to what degree it’s self-constructed and self-supported, but it does make for fun during viewings.

The point.

The Point, although created as a family film possesses many existentialist concepts. A young boy, Oblio is banished from his home because he lacked a visible point (on the top of his head). Throughout Oblio and Arrow’s (ref: previous nodes) journey from The Land of Point to The Pointed Forest they meet quite a few characters, namely The Rock Man. The Rock Man presents to Oblio and Arrow the idea that, simply because one does not have an apparent/visible point (on the top of their head) they are not in fact pointless, per the reason they were kicked out of The Land of Point.

The Rock Man explains the relationship between the physical point and the theoretical point. As Oblio and Arrow return to The Land of Point after their journey to The Pointed Forest they come to the realization that maybe Oblio’s theoretical point is to infact be, pointless.

In conclusion,
the point of The Point is that everything has a point, even if that point is to be, pointless.
