Slave hade följt devisen free your mind and your ass will follow, och gjorde nu rymdfunk i harmoni med de pulserande sjärnornas lågfrekventa basmuller. Inget stod i vägen för bandet. Bara dom själva. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Slave nådde nya höjder med Mark Adams benhårda bas och Steve Arringtons knotiga sång (blåkopian för bland andra Keith Sweat) som fundament på album som ”Stone jam” och ”Just a touch of love”. Inget annat gäng, vid sidan om Isley Brothers, lyckades kombinera långa gitarrocksolon och R&B-orkestrering på ett lika suggestivt sätt. Slave hade bundit samman Ohio och P-funk, och blev nu även bryggan till framtidens hiphop/soul hybrider.Steve Arrington jobbade dubbelt i Slave som sångare och trummis, och viljan att ta funken till platser där den inte varit förut resulterade i ett soloalbum som 1983 blev lika inflytelserikt som Prince ”1999” och Mtumes ”Juicy fruit”. Sedan kom Steves världshit ”Feel so real”, och ett beslut som förändrade allt.

A major legal battle is brewing in the music industry as M.I.A. files a staggering $28 million lawsuit against Kid Cudi, claiming she was wrongfully removed from his tour due to her outspoken political views and public statements.

D-Day is one of the most studied military operations in history.

Eisenhower and Andrew Scott as meteorologist James Stagg. Together they explore the extraordinary decisions made in the days before June 6, 1944, when uncertain forecasts, competing personalities, and the weight of history converged on a single choice: whether to launch Operation Overlord.The conversation examines Eisenhower's leadership under immense strain, the often-overlooked role of meteorology in World War II, the disastrous rehearsal known as Exercise Tiger, and the complex relationships among Allied commanders such as Bernard Montgomery. Along the way, the panel weighs in on the film's historical accuracy, its performances, and why Pressure succeeds by telling a familiar story from an entirely unexpected angle. If you've ever wondered how close D-Day came to being postponed—or how something as unpredictable as the weather helped shape the course of the twentieth century—this is an episode you won't want to miss.Topics discussed: The true story behind the film Pressure Dwight Eisenhower and the burden of command  James Stagg and the weather forecast that changed history  Exercise Tiger and the hidden costs of preparing for D-Day  Bernard Montgomery, Allied politics, and coalition warfare  The role of weather in World War II operations  Historical accuracy versus cinematic storytelling  Brendan Fraser, Andrew Scott, and Damian Lewis on screen

The controversy surrounding the Great American State Fair is heating up as more artists distance themselves from the event, including legendary performers who say they no longer want to be associated with the celebration.

And can Americans still come together for a celebration without politics getting in the way?

Det var en gång då Ohios industristäder producerade de hårdast arbetande och mest innovativa funkbanden. Leverantörer av en vild partyföregångare till hiphop. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. När jag tar mig genom mytomspunnen musikmark på väg till forne Slave trummisen och sångaren Steve Arrington hör jag ekot från gulderan bland rostiga, övervuxna fabriker och halvtomma huvudgator. När det begav sig speglade fantasifull funk både social oro och framtidstro. Funk var den revolutionära känslan förvandlad till en fest. En giftig blandning av psykedeliska droger och black power öppnade en annan verklighet. En plats bortom förtrycket och fattigdomen. I avsnittet möter du även Zapp, George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, Sheila E, Bill Summers, Leroy ”Sugarfoot” Bonner och Diamond (från Ohio Players).

✨ Episode Description "What if detecting cancer early was as simple as a drop of blood—and we've just been missing it?"

Brad Arrington is back to talk everything dogs! Brad owns and operates Mossy Pond Retrievers out of South Georgia, and there is no other operation in this country doing it at the level he is. The pedigrees, the training, the lodge, the employees... It is truly the new standard. Chad's had Brad hand-pick his new pup, Slash, and this conversation is a long time coming. They get into everything from how to evaluate a puppy's natural ability, what pedigree actually means, and why it matters more than most people think, the difference between a field trial dog and a hunting dog, and why that distinction is worth understanding. What makes a dog mentally tough? The balance between accountability and affection, and why the dogs that have the clearest boundaries are actually the happiest ones. Brad also breaks down what Slash's next chapter looks like when he goes back to Mossy Pond and hearing him lay it out, you realize exactly what kind of operation you're dealing with. This one's for the dog people! This episode is brought to you by Eukanuba Premium Performance dog food, Mossy Pond Retrievers, Nutrien Ag Solutions, Realtree Camo, Banded Brands, Mojo Outdoors, Leer Toppers, and Avery Outdoors.
