Podcasts about Badfinger

Peter and Eden kick off with a leisurely check-in — outdoor Godzilla screenings, Eden's miniature laundry room diorama with a 1/12-scale mahjong set, Peter's Amon Amarth/Dethklok concert recap, and new releases from Periphery and LE SSERAFIM. Then, with an assist from ChatGPT's Codex, Peter has assembled roughly 45 of the internet's most-agreed-upon worst album covers for a tier list ranking — S being the most catastrophically bad. The resulting hour-ish is essentially an appreciation of outsider art, deeply cursed Photoshop, and the specific chaos that was '90s rap cover design. Key revelation: the Rednecks, who made Sex and Violins, are Swedish, and that is the Cotton Eye Joe.SHOW NOTESOutdoor Movie Night Gone Right: Eden's projector plan collapsed due to daylight, so they wheeled the TV outside and screened the 1998 Godzilla with Matthew Broderick — which Eden argues holds up better than its reputation suggests. Friend L contributed an observation about American Godzilla's gender presentation that Peter and Eden both find compelling.Daikon 3 & 4 / Studio Gainax Origin Story: Eden showed friends the legendary fan animations made for the early-'80s Daikon convention circuit — blatant copyright-violating anime crossovers that nonetheless launched the careers of the people who would go on to found Gainax (Neon Genesis Evangelion) and later Trigger (Delicious in Dungeon, Season 2).Roombox 3 Progress: Eden's current miniature diorama project is a laundry room featuring a vending machine, an arcade cabinet, and a complete 1/112-scale Chinese mahjong set (all 144 tiles). Models are being dressed in fabric soft clothing rather than left as bare plastic.LE SSERAFIM New Album: Eden's favorite K-pop act has a new record out. The second track samples La Macarena, which prompted a mild generational crisis at the comic shop when the younger staff noted it predates them.Dungeon Crawler Carl / Discworld Detour: Peter is finishing Book 8 of Dungeon Crawler Carl (narrated by Jeff Hayes, whose per-character voice work Peter genuinely enjoys despite usually disliking that approach) and has resolved to go into Terry Pratchett's Discworld next as a pressure valve from heavy genre fiction.Amon Amarth / Dethklok Concert: Peter drove to Salt Lake for the Amon Amarth/Dethklok tour. Amon Amarth was a highlight — Johan Hegg commanding a full audience Viking rowing session — while Dethklok left Peter cold; the Metalocalypse spectacle on screen keeps the audience at arm's length from the music. Castle Rat opened and was a solid short set.Forza Horizon 6: Peter is ~15 hours in on the Japan-set new installment and finding it an ideal low-commitment diversion. Fits easily into 20-minute sessions or longer stretches.Periphery — A Pale White Dot: New album from the djent-adjacent prog-metal band. Peter's read: fewer peaks but also fewer low points than usual — more consistent, somewhat more middling. Flagged as interesting rather than essential.Bad Album Art Tier List: The main event. Peter used Codex to compile ~45 covers from various internet "worst of" lists into a tier list app, with S = truly worst. Notable rankings: The Faith Tones' Jesus Use Me nearly got its own tier above S; Rednex' Sex and Violins landed S upon discovering the band is Swedish and responsible for the definitive Cotton Eye Joe; Iron Maiden's Dance of Death — described as looking like "Baby's first Blender" — is an A despite being one of their best 21st-century albums; Badfinger's Ass (donkey with headphones, hand holding a carrot) closed the list as a deserved S.Creed Sidebar: Human Clay cover triggers a genuine conversation about Creed's arc — good debut, one-and-a-half good albums, then nothing. Peter credits Alter Bridge as the redemptive outcome.

This week's show, after a 1971 Badfinger boogie: brand new Social Distortion, Bevis Frond, Idaho, White Fence, Greg Amici, Riflebirds of Portland, Chris Stamey, and Sean O'Brien & His Dirty Hands, plus The Action, Al Campbell, George Jones, Rory Storm ...

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).

Of all the casualties of the Beatles' Apple label, Badfinger is the most tragic. They had a very promising start, helped along by the Beatles and their associates, but a combination of bad management and personal tragedy stopped them from being as successful as they should have been. However, for a brief period everything worked out exactly right, and Badfinger came up with an album that deserves to be ranked among the all-time classics. From power pop to boogie rock and various points in between, Straight Up is a no-skips album that deserves your attention, so listen up. Cohosts: Amanda Rodgers, Mike DeFabio, Ben MarlinComplete show notes: https://discordpod.com/listen/168-badfinger-straight-up-1971Discord & Rhyme's merch store: http://tee.pub/lic/discordpodSupport the podcast! https://www.patreon.com/discordpod

"Tax the rich, Feed the poorTill there are no Rich no moreI'd love to change the worldBut I don't know what to doSo I'll leave it up to you"These days we've all had similar thoughts but sometimes a pleasant distraction can help. Please  allow me to transport you back to a seemingly simpler time on this week's Super Sounds Of The 70's.Joining us are Patti Smith, Bob Welch, Badfinger, Cat Stevens, Bob Seger, Steve Miller, T.

The story of Badfinger is bookended with The Iveys as prequel and the Head First album on the other end, months before the tragic suicide of Pete Ham. We explored the latter with Bob Jackson earlier this year but this time it's the pre-history we examine, with Ron Griffiths, bassist and vocalist. He was recruited by Pete Ham and in turn was responsible for the addition of drummer Mike Gibbins. Tom Evans joined in 1967 and within a year, they were signed to Apple.  Ron was there as a witness to the band's development, and interactions with Ray Davies of The Kinks, Jimi Hendrix, and The Beatles' Mal Evans, who led them to the start-up label. It was directly because of Ron that Paul offered them “Come and Get It” as what became the first Badfinger single and a worldwide smash, but Griffiths did not make the transition to Badfinger. He remains a lucid witness to their history even after being sidelined, and his connections remain to the present day and performances with Bob Jackson and the current Iveys reissue program. Tune in and hear his unique perspective on the triumphs and tragedies of this mightily talented band.  Read the Disc article that led Paul McCartney to offer “Come and Get It” after reading what Ron had to say here.   The Iveys PR from Apple.

The guys are on a brief hiatus this week, but we proudly present this all-time favorite of ours from back in 2021! ----- Originally released August 14 and 21, 2001 Not every Lennon and McCartney tune made its way onto a Beatles record, but that didn't mean they had to hide away gathering dust, only to be released on some future 20-disc rarities box set. The greatest songwriting duo in history also kicked some of their work over to other artists making their names in the 60s—Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas, Cilla Black, the Fourmost, some scrappy Londoners calling themselves the Rolling Stones, etc.—and this week T.J. and Tony share some of their four-fab faves the Beatles gave away. And maybe also a couple of tossers. While they're at it, they also made some time to: Record a pilot episode for the Untitled TV Guide Podcast* Play a game of "Bob Gaudio, James Guercio, or Joe Guercio?" And reveal their long-guarded secret that Tony and T.J. were, in fact, Chad, Jeremy, Peter, Gordon, Jan, AND Dean. Buckle up! It's gonna be a two parter. * Please no stealing our amazing podcast ideas -- In this thrilling conclusion, T.J. and Tony get Lost in Space (and Portugal) while rummaging thru the songs John, Paul and George gave to other artists—P.J. Proby, Mary Hopkin, Badfinger, Jackie Lomax and more. The embarrassment of riches is sure to send you into a lap slappin' frenzy. As usual, the fellas pose hard-hitting questions such as: Which performance trick did Paul McCartney nick from Barry Manilow? Who is the most famous member of Hollywood Vampires? Do they have the rodeo in the United Kingdom? Plus cameo appearances by local plumbers from Tony's crackerbox palace.

Straight Up es el tercer álbum de la banda de rock británica Badfinger, lanzado en diciembre de 1971 en los Estados Unidos y en febrero de 1972 en Gran Bretaña. Publicado en el sello discográfico de Apple de los Beatles, incluye los exitosos singles "Day After Day" y "Baby Blue", y el popularmente conocido "Name of the Game", todos ellos escritos por el cantante y guitarrista Pete Ham. El álbum marcó un alejamiento del sonido más roquero de los lanzamientos anteriores de Badfinger, en parte como resultado de la intervención de Apple Records con respecto a la dirección musical de la banda. Aunque Straight Up recibió una respuesta mixta de los críticos en el lanzamiento, muchos críticos ahora lo consideran como el mejor álbum de la banda. El crítico de Rolling Stone, David Fricke, se ha referido a él como el "ápice del power pop de Badfinger".

Beatle proteges Badfinger were an Apple band that simultaneously produced some of the finest pop/rock of their era while beset by management malfeasance leading directly to their decimation by suicide. It was fifty years ago that Pete Ham, their songwriter responsible for “No Matter What,” “Day After Day” and “Baby Blue” and co-writer with Tommy Evans of “Without You” took his life at 27. Only a few months before, he and the band recorded one final album (at Apple Studios), Head First. Multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Bob Jackson, the group's newest addition, was fully on board with the project, which went unreleased at the time but through his determination, was tracked down and fully realized in late 2024. In this conversation, Bob discusses his tenure in the band alongside Pete, Tommy, Mike Gibbins and the late Joey Molland, as well as his work with them through the years that followed as well as the lasting impact of the two tragedies.

Todd Rundgren is a true musical visionary whose career spans decades, influences multiple genres, and continues to inspire generations of music lovers. From his early days with the psychedelic rock band Nazz to his groundbreaking solo career and innovative work with Utopia, Rundgren has continually redefined what it means to be an artist. His work as a singer, songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist has left an indelible mark on rock, pop, progressive, and experimental music. In this in-depth feature, we explore the highs and lows of his storied career, highlighting his unique blend of catchy melodies, technical expertise, and bold experimentation that have made him a lasting icon in the music industry.Born into an era of musical revolution, Todd Rundgren's early years were shaped by the sounds of the 60s. Embracing the counterculture movement, he found his first taste of musical success with Nazz, where he served as the lead guitarist and primary songwriter, crafting songs that were both innovative and accessible. Tracks such as “Open My Eyes” and “Hello It's Me.” Rundgren's leap from band member to solo superstar came in the early 70s. It was the seminal album Something/Anything? that truly set him apart. It featured enduring hits like “I Saw the Light” and a reimagined version of “Hello It's Me,” songs that still resonate with fans today. The album was celebrated for its innovative production techniques and intricate arrangements. Never content to follow the status quo, Todd Rundgren has always been driven by a desire to experiment. His subsequent albums are celebrated as landmarks of avant-garde music production. He became one of the pioneers of home recording technology, demonstrating that innovative music could be produced outside the confines of a traditional studio. Todd's approach to music-making has inspired artists to take creative risks and explore uncharted sonic territories.In the mid-70s, seeking new avenues for creative expression, Rundgren formed the band Utopia. With them he crafted extended compositions that featured dynamic shifts, complex time signatures, and an eclectic mix of rock, pop, and classical influences. Beyond his achievements as a performer, Todd Rundgren is also revered for his pioneering work as a record producer. His studio prowess and keen musical instincts have made him one of the most sought-after producers in rock history.

Do you know the tragic story of Badfinger? Behind such life-affirming songs as “No Matter What,” “Day After Day” and “Baby Blue” and the much-covered power ballad “Without You” lay a dark tale in which Badfinger's manager defrauded the band and left them destitute. Bob Jackson played keyboards and guitar in the last Badfinger lineup that featured Pete Ham, the honey-voiced singer-songwriter behind most of those hits. This lineup recorded the album Head First in late 1974, but Warner Bros. refused to release it amid the manager's financial misconduct. Ham took his own life months later. Bassist-singer-songwriter Tom Evans would take his own life in 1983. A rough mix of Head First finally came out in 2000, but Jackson, the last surviving member of the lineup that recorded it, marked its 50th anniversary by locating the original multi-tracks and releasing what he considers the definitive version. Jackson recounts his fraught yet creatively productive time with Badfinger, his chilling final visit with Ham, and how bringing the music of Head First to the world became his raison d'etre.

Dave and Milt travel back to January 1972 to discuss the Billboard Top 10 hits of the week. The hosts engage in lively and sometimes mindless banter, sharing stories and trivia about the songs and artists, including classics like Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together' and Don McLean's 'American Pie.' They also discuss some lesser-known gems and delve into various musical influences. Along the way, the podcast features fun segments like a playdate quiz on famous ad jingles and a substitution segment where the hosts replace one song from the list with another deserving track from the same period.    Topics   00:00 Introduction and Apologies 01:20 Knock-Knock Jokes and Dad Jokes 02:04 Back to Business: Time Machine Setup 03:22 1972: Elvis and Super Bowl VI 04:25 Historical Events and Birthdays 09:55 Top 10 Songs Countdown Begins 10:42 Jackson 5's 'Sugar Daddy' 17:29 The Stylistics and Philly Soul 24:30 Betty Wright's 'Clean Up Woman' 30:38 The New Seekers and Coca-Cola Ad 41:00 Don Draper's Unending Cycle 42:08 A Depressing PSA on Soda 47:09 Nostalgic Ad Jingles Quiz 55:04 The Influence of 'Scorpio' in Hip Hop 01:02:11 Badfinger's Rise and Fall 01:13:50 Jonathan Edwards' Accidental Hit 01:17:35 Confusion Over Jonathan Edwards 01:17:58 Musical Comparisons and Nostalgia 01:18:48 McDonald's Coke Obsession 01:19:26 Top Songs Countdown Begins 01:20:25 Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together' 01:25:06 Melanie's 'Brand New Key' and Boogie Nights 01:32:17 Don McLean's 'American Pie' 01:47:04 Reflecting on the 1972 Music Scene 02:02:52 Upcoming Special Episode Teaser
