Next is Hullabaloo , an American musical variety series that ran on NBC from January 12, 1965 through August 29, 1966.
Directed by Steve Binder, who went on to direct Elvis Presley's '68 Comeback Special,
Hullabaloo served as a big-budget, quality showcase for the leading pop acts of the day, and was also competition for another
like-minded television showcase, ABC's Shindig!.
A different host presided each week—among these were Sammy Davis, Jr., Petula Clark, Paul Anka, Liza Minnelli, Jack Jones, and
Frankie Avalon—singing a couple of his or her own hits and introducing the different acts.
Chart-topping acts who performed on the show included Dionne Warwick, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Rolling Stones,The Yardbirds, Sonny & Cher, the Supremes, Herman's Hermits, The Animals, and Roy Orbison .

Adopted by The Residents, the apocryphal Bavarian composer and music theorist N. Senada, formulated the "Theory of Obscurity",
while his "Theory of Phonetic Organization" states, "the musician should put the sounds first, building the music up from [them] rather than
developing the music, then working down to the sounds that make it up."
This method is part of the process deployed here on Hullabaloo Show #30 Dec 06 1965- with Host: Frankie Avalon .

This episode features DeForrest Brown Jr., an ex-American writer, journalist, theorist, curator and a self-described musician by necessity - releasing music under his Speaker Music moniker. DeForrest Brown Jr. is the author of the book Assembling a Black Counter Culture, where he presents a comprehensive account of techno with a focus on the history of Black experiences in industrialized labor systems—repositioning the genre as a unique form of Black musical and cultural production.

Assembling a Black Counter Culture reframes techno from a Black theoretical perspective distinct from its cultural assimilation within predominantly white, European electronic music contexts and discourse. This talk, given by DeForrest Brown Jr. on the 4th of October 2024 at Barreiro’s Jazz School as part of the programme of OUT.FEST’s 20th edition, is moderated by Margarida Mendes, and gives an overview of key details of his book and expands on its context two years after its publication.

You defy me to reconcile the inconsistencies which you find in them. I haven't the skill for so great an undertaking
