We talk about double albums, which used to be a thing back in the LP day. They were special, because having an album with twice the music was (almost always) great. But they disappeared starting with the CD era and, now with digital, they don't exist any more. We talk about great double albums.

Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Kiki Ebsen, daughter of actor, dancer and singer Buddy Ebsen. Talking with Kiki was a real joy. One of the true joys of doing this podcast is to not only learn about the most known parts of being a child of a celebrity but the more, unlikely one's as well. What do we mean? Well, of course we hear about The Beverly Hillbillies, The Wizard of Oz and Barnaby Jones. But how many other podcasts ask the tough questions, like, “What kind of car did Buddy drive?” Not many but we hear about it on this episode. We also learn about Kiki's musical career as a road dog for the likes of Tracy Chapman, Chicago and Al Jarreau as well as her latest endeavor, her tribute to her father, My Buddy, The Other Side of Oz, which we saw and loved after recording this podcast. Along the way we discuss Walt Disney, the Tin Man, Davy Crockett, Matt Houston and what a fantastic person, actor Lee Meriwether was. That being said, was I the only one who didn't realize that Buddy Ebsen was a dancer and a good one? Or that he and his sister/dance partner were discovered by newsman Walter Winchell during the Roosevelt administration? Whoa. So sit back, take a listen to Kiki Ebsen on this episode and learn more about Buddy Ebsen than you thought possible. Everyone has a story.

In Episode 312 of History in Five Songs with Martin Popoff, Martin explores a curious subset of rock history—unexpected AOR albums—by spotlighting bands like Heart and Yes that made surprising forays into glossy, radio-friendly territory during the early '80s, blurring the lines between prog, pop, and proto–hair metal. Heart – “Heavy Heart” Yes – “City of Love” Blue Öyster Cult – “Eyes on Fire” Golden Earring – “Enough Is Enough” Sammy Hagar – “Remote Love” Learn more about your ad choices.

In this week's episode of Revinyl, Shawn and Craig start by paying tribute to the incomparable Brian Wilson, reflecting on his legacy, artistry, and the lasting influence he's had on generations of musicians and fans.  Shawn caps off the discussion with his top 10 Beach Boys songs. 

"Misplaced Childhood" erschien im Juni 1985 als drittes Studioalbum der britischen Band Marillion und gilt als Meilenstein des Prog-Rocks. Mit dabei ist auch der Hit "Kayleigh". Prog-Rock ist eine Stilrichtung, die klassische Rockelemente mit experimentellen Strukturen und Einflüssen aus anderen Genres verbindet. "Misplaced Childhood" gilt bis heute als Paradebeispiel dieses Genres. Konzept und Texte des Albums wurden vom damaligen Sänger Fish (bürgerlich Derek William Dick) entwickelt, der die Band zwischen 1979 und 1988 entscheidend mitprägte. 1989 trat Steve Hogarth seine Nachfolge als Frontmann an. Auf "Misplaced Childhood" erzählt uns die Band eine berührende Geschichte über das Erwachsenwerden und das innere Kind, das uns nie ganz verlässt. Es geht um Heimat, Identität und die Erinnerungen, die unseren Weg und unser Sein prägen. Die fünfteilige Song-Suite "Bitter Suite"erzählt die Lebensreise vom Ursprung des Ichs über das Erwachsenwerden bis hin zur Wiederentdeckung und Akzeptanz des inneren Kindes. Die zentrale Botschaft: Akzeptiere, dass dein inneres Kind dich ein Leben lang begleitet. Fish arbeitete in seinen Texten häufig mit poetischen Metaphern – besonders das Motiv des Wassers taucht in vielen Facetten auf: als Regen, Wasserloch, Regenbogen oder sogar als Sprinkleranlage. Auch das Herz als Symbol spielt immer wieder eine zentrale Rolle. Die Musik auf dem Album ist so kraftvoll, dass sie auch ganz ohne Worte die gewünschten Gefühle beim Hörer wecken könnte. Beim Hit "Kayleigh" hört man beispielsweise, wie jedes einzelne Instrument auf seine Art eine Atmosphäre der Sehnsucht nach Liebe vermittelt. Ein weiteres Beispiel ist der vorletzte Song "Childhood's End?". Er bricht musikalisch mit der düsteren und melancholischen Stimmung der vorherigen Stücke und strahlt mit seiner positiven Energie die Hoffnung aus, dass die Kindheit nie ganz vorbei ist. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Misplaced Childhood" sprechen wir im Podcast (15:02) – "Pseudo Silk Kimono"(19:50) – "Lavender"(22:07) – "Bitter Suite"(26:03) – "Waterhole"(26:50) – "Lord Of The Backstage"(27:10) – "Blind Curve"(29:48) – "Childhood's End?"(40:08) – "Kayleigh"(48:15) – "Lavender"(52:16) – "Heart Of Lothian"(58:54) – "Childhood's End?"(01:03:02) – "White Feather"__________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge: https://1.ard.de/swr1-meilenstein-marillion?p=wa __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Vier Jahre nach dem epochalen «Glow On» liefern Turnstile das Nachfolgewerk. Doch die Hardcore-Band orientierte sich dabei so stark am Erfolgsrezept des letzten Albums, dass «Never Enough» eher wie eine B-Seite von «Glow On» wirkt.

Joey Allen, guitarist of Warrant, discussed the band's evolution, business model, and personal growth. He highlighted the band's financial success, averaging 40-60 shows a year, and their lean touring operations.

In our third installment of Surviving the 90s, we're revisiting one of the arena rock powerhouses of the late '70s and early '80s — Foreigner. Known for a string of massive hits like "Cold as Ice," "Hot Blooded," "Urgent," "Juke Box Hero," and the chart-topping ballad "I Want to Know What Love Is," Foreigner dominated radio and MTV in their prime. Albums like Double Vision, Head Games, and 4 went multi-Platinum, cementing their legacy. But as the musical landscape shifted in the 90s, the band faced lineup changes and a changing industry. Though new material was scarce, they continued touring and remained a fixture on classic rock airwaves. We revisit their biggest hits, their activity in the 90s, and try to determine: did Foreigner thrive, adapt, or fade during the decade?   Songs In This Episode Intro - Feels Like The First Time 30:29 - Headknocker 34:03 - Blue Morning, Blue Day 47:29 - Double Vision 50:52 - Moment of Truth 56:34 - Lowdown and Dirty 1:10:54 - Big Dog 1:19:35 - White Lie Outro - Juke Box Hero   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

This episode of the Planet LP Podcast, hosted by Ted Asregadoo, delves into the unexpected musical blind spots of even the most accomplished music journalists. Ted is joined by prolific music writer and co-host of The Record Player podcast, Jeff Giles (Popdose, Ultimate Classic Rock, Diffuser FM, Jefitoblog, and Harmonic.fm). The discussion centers on highly-regarded albums that, despite their critical acclaim or widespread popularity, have somehow been overlooked by these experienced listeners. Prepare for candid revelations as Ted and Jeff explore records that often elicit the incredulous response: "Wait, you've NEVER listened to that?!" The episode features a diverse selection of genres and eras. It begins with Gang of Four's Entertainment! (1979), examining its groundbreaking sound and lasting influence on popular music. Next, the focus shifts to Jefferson Airplane's Surrealistic Pillow (1967). While acknowledging its iconic status and memorable tracks, the host shares a surprisingly critical perspective on this San Francisco classic. Finally, the conversation turns to Donna Summer's Bad Girls (1979). The episode explores its commercial success, Grammy recognition, and even an unexpected link to New Order, while posing the question of how such a significant album could have been a "miss" for a dedicated music aficionado. Tune in for an engaging and often surprising exploration of influential albums that, for some, remained undiscovered territory.

It's a 3 stringer in DG and in a style that dates to the 18th cent. The songs are Un Canadien Errant, the wandering Canadian, which was written in 1842 as a lament for rebels exiled from Canada after the failed Lower Canada Rebellion, 1837-8. The 2nd is A La Claire Fontaine, by the clear Spring, which dates back to 1604 and was originally a song of lost love but also become a resistance song after the British takeover following the F&I War. I wanted to learn some French Canadian song for French reenactors at vous and the Battle of PDC Wi. since a unit portraying the one that fought in that siege would come from Canada to participate in the event as it neared the 250th anniversary of the battle. From Ryan Kirk: Mary Scott Hey Jeremy here's a quick run at Oswald's variations on Mary Scott, a tune I learned from your podcast! I [am playing] an Aulos plastic [flute], copy of a 18th century Grenser. Very nice Instrument for the price. Thought about a wood one but humidity control in our old house is not great. From Dave Rowlands: This is 'La Bernardina' by Josquin des Pres (1450-1521). Not known as a composer for bagpipes, but the leading composer of his time. I have chosen this because a) it is a new find for me, b) because if pipers had access to this music and good instruments they would have played it, and c) because we should not be hidebound to 'tradition', just because it does not come from a bagpiping tradition, does not mean we cant play it, and i cite Amazing Grace as just one case. This is played by Three Swayne D pipes, and one Swayne G pipe. I hope you like it and include it. Best wishes, Dave R From Charlie Rutan: Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle is the traditional Italian Christmas carol played by zampognari. Originally called 'Quanno Nascente Ninno', it was written down in 1754 by St Alphonsus Ligouri, with text in the Neapolitan language: and became so popular that it was later translated into Italian and became 'TU SCENDI DALLE STELLE', undergoing several small changes in its melody during that process. The melody probably existed in various forms for several centuries prior to its 1754 transcription, and is still a basis for many improvised PASTORELLES by zampognari today. I'm playing both Ciaramella ( the Italian folk oboe) and Sei Palmi Zampogna on this track. 'Sei palmi' refers to the length of the instrument's longest chanter, measured by the outsretched palm of the pipe maker's hand, much like the 'cubit' of the ancient world. Zampongne have existed in this form since at least the early 1300's; where we have evidence of the instrument being played in frescoes dated to that time. The zampogna is endemic to southern Italy, exists in about 20 different iterations in several sizes, and is a thriving bagpipe tradition to this day.

The music industry has always had its megastars akin to today's super-performers like Taylor Swift, Drake and Morgan Wallen. However, there was a glorious decade from the early 1980s into the 1990s when the planets aligned and money gushed out to a select few artists who commandeered the industry. Major record labels, commercial radio, and MTV conspired to create a consumer hunger for physical products - vinyl, cassette and CD albums and singles, readily available at record stores and department stores at every mall and shopping center. The artists behind these albums were mostly in their 20s and 30s, "video friendly" and talented enough (with the help of the right production teams) to churn out catchy hooks for their blockbuster albums, which could spawn enough carefully timed singles that could keep the artist near the top of the sales charts for two or three years at a time, often overlapping with their next album release. Were these the best artists in the history of popular music? Not really. But their timing was phenomenal. These days commercial radio is just a hint of what it once was, MTV doesn't even play music videos and consumers can simply stream everything they want to hear without having to buy anything. On this episode of "How We Heard It," your hosts explain what led up to the music industry's glory days and how artists like Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna and Whitney Houston cashed in. And they talk about how Taylor Swift and others are still finding their way.

From battling meth, heroin and alcoholism to training Arizona police officers on cycles of dependency, self destruction, and addiction, Shane Watson talks about his head first dive into every drug imaginable only to wake up in one of America's most known jails. Shane shares how he went through withdrawals from behind cell walls yet somehow not only survived but thrived! It was a long road of recovery. Along the way, Shane accrued over 3,000 albums, so we had to talk about music as well. Enjoy! Reach out to Shane via Silverladder.comInstagram @silverladderYoutube channel silverladderdotcom

"Ripped And Torn", also in etwa "zerrissen und in Fetzen", ist der Titel des Debüt-Albums unserer heutigen Gäste, und auch derjenige der vorab veröffentlichten ersten Single "It Will Get Worse" klingt einigermaßen beunruhigend – wie gut, dass die "Lebensretter" in der Nähe sind. Denn Lifeguard ist der Name, unter dem Asher Case (Bass, Baritongitarre, Gesang), Isaac Lowenstein (Schlagzeug, Synthesizer) und Kai Slater (Gitarre, Gesang) gemeinsam musizieren, und das schon seit ihrer High-School-Zeit. Die ist noch gar nicht so lange her, entsprechend strotzen die Songs vor jugendlichem Überschwang. Ein bisschen als hätten sich die Strokes und die Buzzcocks zu einer gemeinsamen Jam-Session im zugigen, weitläufig-verhallten Keller eines leerstehenden Abrisshauses getroffen, bei der auch kleine Experimente in Dub erlaubt waren. Der scheppernd-schrammelige Garagen-Rock des Trios aus Chicago mit dem Händchen für eingängige Melodien war eine der großen Sensationen der 2023er Ausgabe des renommierten Trüffelschwein-Festivals SXSW – und das, wohlgemerkt, fast zwei Jahre bevor die drei überhaupt ihr erstes Album veröffentlicht hatten. Nun ist es also so weit, und dieses erste Album erscheint morgen, was Lifeguard am selben Tag mit einem Konzert in der Friedrichshainer Neuen Zukunft feiern. Heute schon kommen wir im studioeins in den Genuss eines kleinen Vorgeschmacks in Form eines Interviews mit anschließender Live-Präsentation des ein oder anderen Songs.

Introducing the Band:Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) are joined by guest Jeff Pojanowski. Jeff is a professor at Notre Dame Law School, where he teaches and writes about philosophy of law and legal interpretation. He also writes occasional columns for The Pillar. He has been living happily in Northern Indiana after escaping Washington, D.C., 15 years ago.Jeff's Music Pick: Turnpike TroubadoursThis is a rarity for Political Beats, in which we present a show driven largely by our guest's preferences. Jeff Pojanowski joined us previously for Pavement and Crowded House and by now we trust his musical judgement. For quite a while, he's been selling us hard on taking up the career of Turnpike Troubadours for an episode. With the recent release of a new album, and additional endorsements of the band from others in our sphere, it seemed a good time to take him up on the offer.We're awfully glad we did.The Turnpike Troubadours, hailing from Oklahoma, have become one of the leading purveyors of Red Dirt country music, featuring songs that are masterclasses in storytelling, instrumentation, and authenticity. Look, if you don't like fiddle, you might be in the wrong place. Formed in 2005 by frontman Evan Felker and bassist R. C. Edwards, the band's early years were shaped by relentless touring. The first album, Bossier City, is almost more a collection of demos. The group wasn't quite fully formed yet. But on Diamonds & Gasoline (2010), everything began to click into place. As the band matured, their songwriting deepened without losing its raw immediacy. Albums like Goodbye Normal Street (2012) and The Turnpike Troubadours (2015) would be highlights of any band's career. Felker's songwriting stands out not just for its precision (though occasional lyrical duplicity can leave the listener wondering exactly what a song is about), but for its ability to evoke vivid rural landscapes. These are songs about places and towns that many Americans easily can picture in their mind. Musically, Kyle Nix's fiddle and Ryan Engleman's guitar work offered a dynamic counterpoint that always serves the song first.The band's career wasn't without turbulence, of course. After the 2017 release of A Long Way from Your Heart, the band entered a hiatus amid Felker's battle with alcoholism. Fans cheered the band's 2022 comeback, marked by the release of the Shooter Jennings-produced A Cat in the Rain. It's impossible to listen to songs on the record without putting them in the context of Felker's troubles. It's an album that likely had to be made, however, to bring the band to 2025's The Price of Admission, a release that all three of your hosts come to praise.There's probably still a lot of music left in the tank for Turnpike Troubadours, and there's no better time than now to jump on board to discover what you might have been missing.

Waaaaay back in Episode 67 (Season 2), we discussed the albums from arguably THE most crucial year of the O3L era: the year two sevens clashed, 1977. It was such a fruitful, revolutionary time in music history that it's time we revisit some of the best records from '77. Our Third Lads this week are founding members Matt Piucci (guitar/vocals) and Steven Roback (bass/vocals) from one of the leading lights of the '80s Paisley Underground scene, Rain Parade. Along with guitarist David Roback (who would later form Opal and Mazzy Star), keyboardist/violinist Will Glenn and drummer Eddie Kalwa, Rain Parade's first album, 1983's Emergency Third Rail Power Trip remains one of the defining records of the Paisley Underground - an album that critic Jim DeRogatis would declare "...ranks with the best psychedelic rock efforts from any era." Shifting lineups (always anchored by Piucci and Roback) would produce the fantastic 1984 mini-LP Explosions in the Glass Palace and 1985's Crashing Dream - the latter of which has since been revealed as a souped up double LP reissue for Record Store Day on April 12, 2025! In 2012, Matt, Steven, and mid-80s guitarist John Thoman regrouped for live performances and new music. Now augmented by multi-instrumentalists Derek See and Mark Hanley, and Stephan Junca on drums, the current lineup has released 2023's full length Last Rays of a Dying Sun and the 2024 EP Last Stop on the Underground, both of which serve as vital reminders of why Rain Parade was - and is - so important and influential to legions of neo-psych, dream pop, and harmony-drenched jangle pop bands. https://rainparadelabel51.bandcamp.com Thanks to Josh Mills from It's Alive Media for the introduction and coordination.
