Something about this picture made me think it was a 90s album cover. All jokes aside, I really enjoyed DeptQ and can't wait to see what they write about next. This could be my next favorite show.

Send us Fan MailVi måtte rett og slett slippe en liten ekstrasending – for her er det to gode grunner til å samles rundt mikrofonene igjen.Den 25. april passerte Let There Be Pod tre år. Over 130 episoder, flere titalls gjester og mange timer med dypdykk i katalogen til AC/DC. Vi tar en liten pust i bakken, ser tilbake på reisen, noen høydepunkter – og hva som egentlig har gjort at vi fortsatt holder trykket oppe.Men det stopper ikke der.For nå skal vi lande en av de mest engasjerende kåringene vi har hatt: Tidenes AC/DC album cover. Gjennom flere runder har dere stemt frem favoritter, diskutert, forsvart og kranglet dere frem til en finale. Nå er det avgjort.Hvilket cover står igjen til slutt? Hvilket visuelt uttrykk definerer AC/DC best?Svaret får du her. ⚡️
Think about your favourite records. Go ahead. Chances are, one of the first things that popped into your head was the album cover. And it makes sense...who hasn't studied an album jacket while listening to a record? Or scanned the track listing, or read the liner notes or credits? How many of you have bought an album solely based on the cover art? The artwork colors how we hear the music, and, likewise, the music informs how we interpret the artwork. Either way, when done effectively, the two are intertwined. But don't take it from us. This week, we have one of THE greatest creative art directors in music history joining as our Third Lad. There's a near certainty that you have the iconic work of John Kosh sitting in your record collection - and it's absolutely staggering list of credits since the late ‘60s. For starters, how about his work as with The Beatles' Apple Records, like Abbey Road, Let It Be, or John & Yoko's Wedding Album? Or how about Who's Next? Get Your Ya-Ya's Out? Hotel California? Out Of The Blue, featuring his familiar ELO spaceship logo? In fact, he is the only Art Director to have worked with The Beatles, The Stones, and The Who. That's not enough for you? Among the hundreds of album covers Kosh has designed, there are also familiar sleeves for Ringo Starr, Rod Stewart, Marvin Gaye, James Taylor, Jimmy Buffet, Donovan, Aerosmith, Family, The Moody Blues, Badfinger, 10,000 Maniacs, T. Rex, and so, so many more. And, oh yeah, the four decade string of gorgeous covers he did for Linda Ronstadt, three of which have earned him Grammys. Aside from album covers, there's artwork for singles, books, TV, film, posters, and billboards - like, for example, the simple but incredibly effective John & Yoko campaign declaring WAR IS OVER…if you want it. Listen as Kosh recounts stories from his fabled career and discusses his Top 5 Album Covers (other than his own). This is living history, kids! Learn more about your ad choices.

Stewart Alsop sits down with Karol, a 3D generalist and digital artist with 25 years of experience, to talk about the evolving landscape of 3D art — from sculpting in ZBrush to the deep technical rabbit hole of Houdini, and how AI tools like Claude are quietly reshaping creative workflows. The conversation wanders into bigger territory: the singularity, accelerationism, the philosophical roots of Silicon Valley's techno-anxiety (including the Roko's Basilisk thought experiment and the writings of Nick Land), the slow unraveling of Hollywood's cultural monopoly, and what decentralized creative tools mean for independent artists. Stewart also points Karol toward the work of Fei-Fei Li and World Labs as a window into where 3D world modeling is heading next.Timestamps00:00 — Karol's 25-year journey from Photoshop and 2D art into Cinema 4D and the world of 3D.05:00 — Why Houdini blew the ceiling off every other 3D program, and how node-based coding changed Karol's creative process entirely.10:00 — The tension between visual thinking and technical thinking, and how constant digital stimuli has degraded Karol's internal imagination.15:00 — Stewart reflects on Claude Code and how AI is about to dissolve the technical barriers in Houdini the same way it did for programming.20:00 — The Sphere in Las Vegas, projection mapping, drone polo, and Stewart's vision for intimate tech-integrated experiences.25:00 — Roko's Basilisk, fear-driven accelerationism, and why Latin America never caught the Silicon Valley doomsday bug.30:00 — Hollywood's cultural machine, shared Western boogeymen, and how decentralized 3D art is replacing the $100M production monopoly.35:00 — Karol's eclectic client roster: Utah Jazz, Apple, League of Legends, and a Buddhist temple in Los Angeles.40:00 — Gaussian splatting, photogrammetry, point clouds, and where world models are taking 3D next.45:00 — The freelance vs. studio dilemma, brutal VFX industry crunch culture, and Stewart's plan to own his entire podcast stack.50:00 — Poland's economic rise, the hollowing out of the Netherlands, and capitalism as an endless infection with no clear cure.Key InsightsHoudini as creative rebirth. After nearly burning out on conventional 3D software, Karol discovered that Houdini's node-based, code-driven architecture gave him something the other tools never could — a blank canvas with no ceiling. Rather than navigating a boat someone else built, he now builds the boat from scratch every time, which keeps the work perpetually challenging and alive.Visual thinking is under attack. Karol noticed his once-vivid internal imagination quietly degrading over the years, and traces it directly to the overwhelming volume of digital stimuli in modern life. His response has been aggressive minimalism — stripping back inputs, physical and digital, to try to recover the creative mental space he once had naturally.AI as a technical collaborator, not a replacement. Karol uses Claude daily, not to generate imagery, but to work through coding problems inside Houdini. He's clear that image generation is his job — what AI earns its place doing is explaining unfamiliar code and helping him push past technical blockers faster.The freelance paradox. Twenty-five years of independence has meant total creative freedom alongside real financial instability — months of silence followed by weeks of 16-hour days. Karol has never resolved this tension, but holds onto the freedom anyway, and sees it as increasingly important as surveillance and corporate control tighten.Roko's Basilisk explains Silicon Valley. Both Stewart and Karol land on the idea that the feverish, fear-driven energy behind tech accelerationism may trace back to this single thought experiment — the notion that if you don't help build the AI, it will punish you retroactively. Latin America, blissfully unaware of it, seems measurably calmer.Decentralization is ending Hollywood's monopoly. The same forces making software cheaper and AI more powerful are quietly dismantling the $100M barrier to cultural creation. Karol's career — spanning album covers, Apple, the Utah Jazz, and a Buddhist temple — is a living proof of concept for what independent 3D generalism can look like outside the studio machine.Owning your tools is a political act. Whether it's Karol resisting the pigeonhole of VFX studios or Stewart rebuilding his podcast infrastructure from scratch, both see the ability to own and control your own software and hardware as essential preparation for whatever comes next.

Andy McNamara is joined by Kev, Luke, Caleb, and Devin of the Wisconsin-based band Offend Your Friends. After two decades, the band is celebrating a major milestone with the release of a full-length album, aptly titled Almost Didn't Make It. In this deep dive, the members share the fascinating story of their 20-year journey, from their early days as a skateboard crew in Fond du Lac to their latest recording sessions in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In this interview, we discuss:- The Band's Origins: How a neighborhood skateboard crew and a "party band" with a pink Mohawk evolved into Offend Your Friends.- The "Stock Wars": The legendary story of being blacklisted from their high school's "Goodstock" festival and starting their own massive counter-event, "Badstock," which drew over 500 people.- The Lost Album: The heartbreaking (and slightly hilarious) story of how their recorded tracks were stolen from a driveway in Milwaukee, leading to a "year-long depression" before they eventually re-recorded everything.- New Music & Sound: Transitioning from their early ska influences to a heavier, high-energy sound filled with gang vocals and "Fake Work Friday" anthems.- Friendship & Brotherhood: Why the band never truly broke up, despite multiple "air quote" breakups and members moving across the country.Support the Band:Website: offendyourfriends.comBandcamp: offendyourfriends.bandcamp.com0:00 Introduction – Fox Cities Core Radio0:27 Welcoming Offend Your Friends to the Studio1:08 How Does It Feel to Finally Release an Album?1:45 Band Origin Story – Fond du Lac, Wisconsin2:21 How the Members All Met3:19 The Party Van & Luke's Iconic First Impression4:11 How Wes Accidentally Became the Drummer5:07 Caleb Joins & the Saxophone Decision5:29 The Fond du Lac Scene in the Early 2000s6:41 Renting Banquet Halls & Building a Local Scene7:33 What Got Kevin Into Music8:40 Kevin's Singing Origins9:16 The Loot – Their Short-Lived Hip Hop Project9:50 Adding the Saxophone & Finding Their Sound10:57 Early Recordings & First EPs11:02 The "Indecisive" EP Era26:23 Recording "Almost Didn't Make It" – The Vision27:03 Gang Vocals & Recording the Album Twice27:35 Kevin Records Vocals in Oakland During Covid28:28 The Stolen Laptop Disaster29:14 Year-Long Depression & Regrouping29:57 Re-Recording Vocals in Tulsa at Gene Pump Studios30:37 Two New Songs Written After the Laptop Was Stolen31:22 Adding "Olive Branch" as the 12th Song31:50 Total Recording Timeline – How Many Years?32:21 Why They Tracked Drums Last33:04 Mixing with Colton Jin33:50 Mastering with Justin Perkins35:17 Any Regrets?

The visual representation of the music can tell us more about the artist's intentions, and the statement they're trying to make. I'd argue that these direct representations of the music are even more vital than music videos. And though few of us still get physical media – vinyl, cassettes, CDs – we still pay attention to the digital thumbnails, because the art still matters. This is a history of album art, and is the first in a series on visual art connected to music (the next episode will be about band logos). I review notable album covers by decade, give you my favorites, and explain every album & EP cover in my catalog. Are you into album art? Do you remember how checking out all the art was a necessary and fun part of your first listen to a CD, cassette, or vinyl? What are some of your favorite album covers? Discuss dammit!

We're diving deep into the world of iconic album cover art with our special guest, Frm. Elektra Records Art Director Bob Heimall. A name behind some of the most memorable visuals in music history. From his humble beginnings at Elektra Records in the late 1960s to becoming the youngest art director in the business, Bob Heimall's creativity has graced records by legends like Carly Simon, Jim Croce, The Doors, Bread, Iggy Pop, and even Yoko Ono.You'll hear Bob Heimall share personal stories, like joining Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Joplin for an unforgettable moment in a New York penthouse, rubbing elbows with rock royalty, working with Carly Simon while she breastfed her son, and being the sole audience for Jim Croce's final album performance just two weeks before tragedy struck. He'll reveal behind-the-scenes anecdotes about album art decisions—some even leading to legendary band debates—describe the step-by-step design process before Photoshop, and recount the emotional impact these collaborations left on him.Plus, Bob Heimall discusses the cutthroat world of record labels, his transition from Elektra to Arista under Clive Davis, and reflects on the vital role music—and its packaging—plays in shaping our memories. Whether you're a vinyl enthusiast, design lover, or music history buff, this episode is packed with untold stories, industry insights, and the passion that goes into creating the artwork we all grew up with.(0:00) "Starting at Elektra Records"(4:14) "Music Legends at the Hilton"(9:14) "Redefining Album Cover Art"(11:45) "Early Album Cover Design Process"(15:41) Carly's Jingles and Brother(18:19) "Unplanned Success, Captured Moment"(22:04) "Music, Photos, and Choices"24:39 "Following the Music"(28:45) "Rejected Naked Silhouette Cover"(30:17) "Innovative Multi-Fold Album Design"(33:30) "Reflecting on Jim Croce's Death"(38:13) "Asthma, Draft Exception, Jersey Shore"(41:40) "QuadSound and Career Transition"(43:59) "High-Stakes Creative Meetings"(46:15) "Jack's Artistic Integrity Struggle"(48:45) "Pool Nights in the Office"(53:56) "The Band's Big Pink Album Cover Story"(56:19) "The Doors Strange Days Album Cover Controversy"(59:19) "Cover Stories Book"You can download or stream every episode of AIRCHECK from Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.

David Choe is a world-renowned artist, writer, podcaster and TV host. He tells how as a child, he was made to believe he was destined for greatness but also that he was a complete disgrace, leading him to channel his energy—including deep shame—into art that brought him global recognition. He shares about his addictions that put him on a decades-long cycle of extreme highs and lows and that forced him to eventually acknowledge and heal the childhood trauma he was battling inside. David shows up with raw, authentic presence to show us how we can transmute pain and shame into our best creative work and, more importantly, how complete vulnerability, especially about our hardest experiences, is the ultimate tool for forgiveness and self-acceptance. He also tells us the actual story about early Facebook, Pee-wee Herman and Santa Claus. Note: This conversation includes topics and language that may not be suitable for younger audiences.

The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
A viral “Top 26 Songs of 2025” list is only the start—we put every pick under the microscope to see what truly earns replay value. From Bailey Zimmerman and Luke Combs to Morgan Wallen's double presence and Laney Wilson's anchor tracks, we dig into the hooks, arrangements, and performances that separate a fleeting hit from a keeper. Expect honest takes, a few friendly disagreements, and a closer look at the production moves—floor tom hits, 70s textures, harmony blends—that make a chorus land.The conversation widens as we ask what makes album art timeless. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon becomes a benchmark for clarity and concept, while modern country sleeves split between glossy trends and striking, cinematic restraint. We swap community favorites—Genesis, Journey, Led Zeppelin, Kiss, King Crimson—and talk recognizability, narrative, and how a cover can hint at sound before the first note plays. You'll hear why certain designs elevate the music's myth, and where visual nostalgia actually works.News brings heart and history: Willie Nelson and Lukas Nelson competing for Best Traditional Country Album is a rare, moving moment of legacy in real time. Riley Green's back-to-back solo-written No. 1s reset the conversation on authorship, Ella Langley's UK airplay run shows country's global reach, and Laney Wilson stepping into ESPN's Monday Night Football booth underlines how presence travels across mediums.Episode LinksScotty Simpson: https://jayfranze.com/episode3/Andy Hull: https://jayfranze.com/episode7/Jim Cristaldi: https://jayfranze.com/episode27/Bob Bullock: https://jayfranze.com/episode28/Dave Jackson: https://jayfranze.com/episode53/William Lee Golden: https://jayfranze.com/episode72/Billie Jo Jones: https://jayfranze.com/episode98/Dalila Mya: https://jayfranze.com/episode102/Mark Badolato: https://jayfranze.com/episode140Send us a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Contact: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Services: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Books: https://jayfranze.com/books/ Merchandise Merchandise: https://jayfranze.com/merchandise/ Support Support: https://jayfranze.com/support/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/

This is going to be a very visual program, which may be a bit of a challenge because you're either listening to this as a radio show or podcast…so i need to work with me on this… Vinyl is back in a way that no one could have ever predicted…in countries like Canada, the US, the UK, Australia, and beyond, vinyl is once again outselling CDs…and a surprising number of people are buying vinyl even if they don't have a turntable… What's the point of that? ...simple…vinyl is a tangible and physical manifestation and representation of the music…it is something you own, something that resides with you, and no matter what happens, it is yours… Many fans stream the music while holding the vinyl in their hands…that's the best of both worlds…the vinyl never gets damaged, but you get to hear the music just the same… And the attraction is the same as it ever was…liner notes, lyric sheets—and the artwork… For a while, we were in real danger of seeing the glories of album artwork disappear…first, it was shrunk down to cd-sized…then with sometime like iTunes, you got a little postage-same image…and with streaming, you get almost nothing when it comes to something that visually embodies all the blood, sweat, tears, talent, and inspiration that went into making that album… So here on the radio (or the podcast), I'm going to ask you to conjure up images of these album covers in your mind…then you can go back to your vinyl library and take a look… We're revisiting album artwork on this episode of “The Ongoing History of New Music” with a look at the stories behind some iconic covers…and after this, you may not look at some of your albums the same way again… Learn more about your ad choices.

Freeze! The Polyester Podcast had a whole episode planned for our lovely listeners until Sabrina Carpenter delivered us feminist discourse on a silver platter, or rather, on a silver dog leash. On Wednesday, the singer announced her forthcoming summer album titled 'Man's Best Friend' along with artwork picturing Sabrina on all fours having her hair pulled by an anonymous suited figure.Is the cover art a clever continuation of Carpenter's satirisation of female sexuality or are we being conned into embracing misogynistic portrayals of women again in the mainstream? This week, hosts Ione and Gina get into the nitty gritty of the discourse; from pop star sensuality, to ‘puriteens' and the continuing poison of choice feminism on our ability to think critically.Support our work and become a Polyester Podcast member
