Suspense Drama Tension And Music The Fire Concerto From Author Sarah Landenwich

Eleven years and another life ago, Clara Bishop was a rising star pianist. Everything changed on the night of a festival marking the 145th birthday of Poland's revered composer and Clara's  distant relative, Aleksander Starza. She began that night as an artist in her own right—no longer defined by Madame, her exacting teacher. But after a devastating fire broke out in the concert hall, she left badly scarred. Since then, Clara hasn't touched a piano or spoken to Madame, whom she blames for her career-ending injuries. Now, at 30, she has a new life in Texas as a bartender. No one there knows about her past—until Madame dies and leaves her a cryptic inheritance: a metronome linked to a notorious 19th-century murder.In her literary debut, THE FIRE CONCERTO (Union Square & Co.; June 10, 2025), Sarah Landenwich presents a richly layered, twisty story about three women of remarkable musical talent connected by tragedy. For Clara, what starts as a search for the origins of Madame's unusual bequest turns into a mission to find the lost compositions and restore the tarnished reputation of a brilliant 19th-century female pianist from Poland. Along her journey, Clara uncovers startling truths about her formidable mentor and herself.        THE FIRE CONCERTO opens in 1997 with Clara as she struggles to make sense of the gift Madame left her. Could this oddity be the metronome, missing since 1885, that belonged to her ancestor, the composer Aleksander Starza? Was it the murder weapon used by the woman accused of killing him, the pianist Constantia Pleyel? How did Madame, an orphan who fled Poland in 1939 and made her own way into Juilliard and onto the concert stage, come to possess this priceless, storied antique?Seeking answers, Clara finds an unexpected ally in her childhood rival and teenage crush, Tony Park. Another of Madame's chosen beneficiaries, Tony offers to help Clara unravel the metronome's history. Can she trust him? He's not the only one interested in this coveted object. First, she receives an eerie phone call and then a threatening letter. Finally, someone breaks into and ransacks her home. Though filled with dread about revisiting the scene of her nightmare, Clara agrees to join Tony on a fact-finding trip to Warsaw, where Aleksander Starza lived and died.Scouring museum archives and private stashes of letters, Clara works to uncover the metronome's haunted past. Gradually, she realizes that nothing about Starza and his murder are what they seem. And the truth about his relationship with Constantia Pleyel, who was far from the raging madwoman history has alleged her to be, is complicated. What Clara discovers could rewrite the history of music. For Clara, the revelations also strike a deeply personal chord. The metronome has a hidden inscription in Polish, translated as: “From pain, we must make beauty.” Were these words engraved to speak to Starza or to Pleyel? Did Madame intend for Clara to take this message to heart?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Curb Records artist Stars Go Dim released its fourth studio set, Roses, last month, which includes the self-penned track “Your Song,” which is dedicated to the fans. In the new album, Stars Go Dim discovers faith in the crevices of daily life across its latest collection, years in the making. Co-producing for the first time, Chris Cleveland embraces the genuine joy that comes from a slower pace and a different point of view on Roses. Exploring his dynamic range across the project's 11 original selections, the top-shelf singer chases a retro sound marinated in the groove-heavy beats of the '70s. From the jangly piano intro of lead single “Mama Don't Lie (Alright)” to the nostalgic emotional pull of closing track “Good Days,” the fresh LP blossoms with the hope that God is always waiting to be found.While Cleveland carefully handpicked a few seasoned lyricists to help him bring Roses to life, he also intentionally chose to collaborate with a large pool of relatively unknown songwriters for the majority of the project, giving many of the writers represented in the credits their first career cut.Addiotionally, to celebrate the eagerly anticipated premiere of Roses, Stars Go Dim made its Grand Ole Opry debut. Stepping into the coveted circle for the first time, Cleveland was joined by a star-studded lineup.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Remastering The Zombies Mono Album Odyssey And Oracle Colin Blunstone Breaks It Down

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees and “British Invasion” pioneers, The Zombies, todayannounce the release of Odessey & Oracle Mono Remastered on September 26th. The album, thefirst of four definitive physical reissues from their catalog, includes the classic songs “Time OfThe Season,” “Care of Cell 44,” and “This Will Be Our Year” and is a regular entry in “BestAlbums of All Time” lists in publications like Rolling Stone, NME, and Mojo Magazine. Therelease, which coincides with The Zombies' documentary, Hung Up On A Dream, marks the firsttime the band's original mono mix, remastered from studio tapes, has appeared on LP since therecord's British issue in 1968, presenting the album as they originally intended it to be heard.Pre-order the album on all formats here.Recorded primarily at London's legendary Abbey Road Studios in 1967, Odessey & Oracle wasself-produced in Mono on a shoestring budget by primary songwriters Rod Argent (keyboards/vocals) and Chris White (bass/vocals). Under last-minute pressure from their record label, thealbum was hastily remixed in the newly emerging Stereo format, which sacrificed key elementsfrom the Mono recording, most notably the beloved horn parts in “This Will Be Our Year”.The band today also share the first track off the album, the mono remastered version of “ThisWill Be Our Year”, with the horn parts restored. Although never released as a single, this deepcut has found a new life thanks to prominent uses in TV and film, including memorable scenes inMad Men, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Schitt's Creek, and covers by artists like FooFighters, OK Go and Susanna Hoffs. Its positive and uplifting message has been embraced bycouples as a popular wedding song, and become a staple of New Year's playlists. Listen here.The album also includes new liner notes from famed writer, David Fricke. Read an excerptbelow:Odessey and Oracle is very much of and about its time: songs of youth and love – thelucky strike of attraction ("I Want Her She Wants Me"); flickering memories held tight("Brief Candles"); longing that defies the odds ("Maybe After He's Gone") – from pop'shigh season of amour, a crowded nirvana of landmark debuts (Pink Floyd, the Doors, theJimi Hendrix Experience) and definitive accounts of Britain's psychedelic bloom…Thisalbum was also built to stand the test of time, at the 11th hour by a band with everythingto prove. "We were always dissatisfied with the production of our records," Argent said in1971 of the Zombies' Decca work. "We wanted to produce an album before we broke upto satisfy ourselves." The result was a fearlessness that still rings fresh, that inventiondriven by the Zombies' stringent resources and their confidence in the songs. Most of "ARose for Emily" is simply piano and vocal, an Argent-Blunstone duet with streaks ofchoral sigh.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Marking the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombing, Atomic Echoes: Untold Stories of World War II, a new documentary from Blue Chalk Media, will air on public television stations nationwide beginning the week of August 1. The film includes rarely seen archival footage and interviews with 100-year-old American veterans who were eyewitnesses to the devastation in the immediate aftermath of nuclear warfare.Atomic Echoes follows Karin Tanabe and Victoria Kelly, two friends whose families were on opposite sides of the war, as they embark on an emotional journey to uncover their family legacies. Through their exploration, the film sheds light on the enduring scars of the "hibakusha"-the estimated 650,000 Japanese survivors of the bombings and the "atomic veterans"-the estimated 200,000 American soldiers who responded in the immediate aftermath of the bombings.Karin Tanabe and Victoria Kelly bring deeply personal connections to this project. Karin is a bestselling historical fiction novelist and former Politico reporter whose great-great-uncle was the first president of Hiroshima University and dedicated his life to peace-building after the bomb. Victoria is an award-winning author and poet whose grandfather, an American atomic veteran who served in Nagasaki, died young, haunted by his experiences.Directed and produced by Beatrice Becette, and executive produced by Greg Moyer, Atomic Echoes was filmed in both Japan and the United States, combining deeply personal storytelling with interviews from historians and the last remaining survivors. The film presents a fresh perspective on the nuclear age and its enduring consequences, urging reflection and peace as this pivotal anniversary approaches."With Atomic Echoes, we're preserving the voices of those who have experienced one of history's most significant and devastating events," said Greg Moyer. "This story and its lessons are vital, and we're honored by the trust placed in us by Karin, Victoria, and the survivors who have bravely shared with us."As the remaining survivors enter their later years, Atomic Echoes stands as a powerful testament to their experiences, and a reminder of the human cost of nuclear warfare. The film invites viewers to listen, reflect, and reckon with a past that continues to shape our present.Here's the trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=4iUpvDhoPOwBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Then, during a meeting, the group gets a sign, or rather, a pizza delivery. Is there another psychopath out there who actually likes olives on their pizza, or is Astrid trying to send Mark a message?  Meanwhile, Astrid wakes up in the cell of a black site prison, on a remote island. A doctor subjects her to mysterious experiments, plumbing the depths of her memory and looking for a vital clue from her past. She'll do anything to escape, except . . . killing anyone. Hmm.

Remastering As Well As Reinventing The Album More Balls To Picasso From Rocker Bruce Dickinson

In 1994, having left Iron Maiden for a time (he rejoined in 1999), Bruce Dickinson released his second solo album, entitled Balls To Picasso. Named in honour of the cubist pioneer whose representations of spherical objects were as squares and reflected on the cover in graffiti style on a tiled bathroom wall, the album belied its irreverent title by solidifying Dickinson's reputation as a serious solo artist.His first record with collaborator Roy Z, produced by Shay Baby and recorded with Z's band Tribe Of Gypsies, it went through various iterations before its release. The original album included a number of classic tracks and live favourites from Dickinson including the singles "Tears Of The Dragon" and "Shoot All The Clowns," alongside the much-loved epic "Laughing In The Hiding Bush," which was the original title for the album.Yet despite its positive reception at the time, it never quite captured Dickinson's original vision which was even more expansive in scope and ambition. However, with the ability to revisit his solo catalog - and following on from Dickinson's hugely acclaimed album The Mandrake Project in 2024 - the brand-new part re-recorded, remixed and newly mastered version of the album, now entitled More Balls To Picasso, reimagines it as a fresh and contemporary release.Dickinson says of it, "While mixing all my catalogue into Dolby Atmos I had a nagging desire to revisit and reinvent the record. So putting more balls into 'Balls.' was a labour of love. Of course, we beefed up the guitars - courtesy of our 'Swedish shredder' Philip Naslund and we added some really beautiful work by Adassi Addasi on 'Tears.' as well. Fellow Brazilian composer Antonio Teoli added some stunning orchestral arrangements, and in a unique contribution, added indigenous instruments from the Amazon (recorded by himself when he lived there!) at the beginning of 'Gods Of War'."'Shoot All The Clowns' gets the benefit of a horn section fronted by the Berklee College of Music, and all of the record gets the benefit of the mix by Brendan Duffey, (who worked on The Mandrake Project), with notes along the way from Shay Baby, the original father of the album".Additionally, More Balls To Picasso includes two previously unreleased live in-the-studio tracks, 'Gods of War' and "Shoot All the Clowns." It will be available as a splatter vinyl double album and tri-panel digisleeve CD album.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

UnplugHow to Break Up with Your Phone and Reclaim Your Lifeby Richard Simon But what does long term freedom from your phone really look like—and is it sustainable for people with… you know… jobs? In UNPLUG: How to Break Up with Your Phone and Reclaim Your Life (Workman; 6/17/25) Richard Simon shows that it is—through his own experience and many others', including but not limited to: an anesthesiologist, a software engineer, a social media marketer, a school principal, a law partner, a financial analyst, a chess grandmaster, and a Major League Baseball player who credits dropping the phone with big improvements in both his game and his family life. Of course, professional commitments are just one piece of the puzzle. When Simon first decided to go phone-free for a year as an experiment, the toughest sell was his wife. What if one of the kids got sick, or she needed to reach him in an emergency? What about shared grocery lists, the banking app, and all the little ways that our smartphones seem to make family life run more smoothly? Spoiler alert: she came around to it. And like all the other subjects of this book, Simon reports that his personal relationships blossomed in the absence of screens. After a year of detox, Simon relaxed his personal smartphone ban, but still keeps his phone off by default.

The Day The Band Talking Heads Took Over NYC Jonathan Gould Writes Burning Down The House

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 20, 2025 17:18 Transcription Available


On the 50th anniversary of Talking Heads, acclaimed music biographer Jonathan Gould presents the long-overdue, definitive story of this singular band, capturing the gritty energy of 1970s New York City and showing how a group of art students brought fringe culture to rock's mainstream, forever changing the look and sound of popular music."Psycho Killer." "Take Me to the River." "Road to Nowhere." Few musical artists have had the lasting impact and relevance of Talking Heads. One of the foundational bands of New York's downtown 1970s music scene, Talking Heads have endured as a musical and cultural force for decades. Their unique brand of transcendent, experimental rock remains a lingering influence on popular music-despite their having disbanded over thirty years ago.Now New Yorker contributor Jonathan Gould offers an authoritative, deeply researched account of a band whose sound, fame, and legacy forever connected rock music to the cultural avant-garde. From their art school origins to the enigmatic charisma of David Byrne and the internal tensions that ultimately broke them apart, Gould tells the story of a group that emerged when rock music was still young and went on to redefine the prevailing expectations of how a band could sound, look, and act. At a time when guitar solos, lead-singer swagger, and sweaty stadium tours reigned supreme, Talking Heads were precocious, awkward, quirky, and utterly distinctive when they first appeared on the ragged stages of the East Village. Yet they would soon mature into one of the most accomplished and uncompromising recording and performing acts of their era.More than just a biography of a band, Gould masterfully captures the singular time and place that incubated and nurtured this original music: downtown New York in the 1970s, that much romanticized, little understood milieu where art, music, and commerce collided in the urban dystopia of Lower Manhattan. What emerges is an expansive portrait of a unique cultural moment and an iconoclastic band that shifted the paradigm of popular music by burning down the house of mainstream rock.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
