En este episodio, Mario Mengoni enciende la noche con el ritmo sofisticado de BEN GOMORI & DAISYBELLE, el soul vibrante de THE FATBACK BAND, y un remix inesperado de THE HIDDEN CAMERAS por los mismísimos PET SHOP BOYS. El finlandés JOB es el hallazgo de la semana, y DON FLAMYNGO & REBEKAH LAUR'EN suman sensualidad contemporánea con su future soul. Además, un discollage demoledor con Diego Hidalgo mezclando a PRIMAL SCREAM (by WADE TEO), DISCO MASCHIO y ANDROMEDA ORCHESTRA. Y para el gran final: las chicas de BANANARAMA, cerrando como en un music hall, entre lentejuelas y plumas, como dos divas al rojo vivo bajando las escaleras cual Susana Giménez.

Phil Harding had his hands in as many hits in the 80s/90s as anyone you care to mention. We will only concern ourselves with the better decade as we look into his career as producer/engineer and mixer.1.

Entonces, este programa solo contiene el TITANES de sus creadoras, CLAMP. ¿"Solo"?

Repasamos como sugieron y entraron a la industria del manga, su forma de trabajo, y la repercusión de su obra. Con música de Bananarama (interpretando a Shocking Blue), y The Presidents of the United States of America. Próximo programa: Daredevil - Born Again (TV) / Daredevil - Mayor Fisk (Comics).

Today, the name “Sid Vicious” is practically synonymous with punk, nihilism and self-destruction. But before Sid, there was a young boy named Simon John Ritchie whose peripatetic childhood was marked by neglect, instability and drugs. As bassist of the Sex Pistols, Sid's rise to fame was driven not by musical talent but by his anarchic persona and darkly violent streak - “a living circus” as his fellow band member once described him. He was celebrated for his worst and pushed into the spotlight with little to no duty of care, eventually dying of an overdose at only 21 years old.In this episode, Matt takes us on the complex and shockingly short journey of Sid Vicious - or rather, Simon John Ritchie. Drawing on his experience as a mental health professional, Matt offers a more compassionate perspective on the infamous punk icon, revealing a sad but all too familiar tale of exploitation and spectacle at the expense of vulnerable individuals.Today's ‘One For The Road' is the Youtuber Mary Spender.

Welcome to our podcast where we discuss and deliberate over memoirs and biographies found in thrift shops. This is a great way to do things as we are not choosing who to read about. We may not be fans of the person, we may never have heard of the person and we never know who we are going to find next...There are only 2 rules to this podcast. The book has to be found in a thrift shop and we are not allowed to talk about the book until we press record, which is sometimes agonising.We have lots of episodes coming up so if you find yourself enjoying our podcast, please be sure to subscribe to be among the first to hear about each episode.

Probleemkinderen bestaan niet, zegt schrijver Derk Visser. Kinderen met problemen wél en over hen schrijft hij in zijn compacte oeuvre: tienermeisjes die opgroeien in achterstandsbuurten en wind tegen hebben in het leven. In zijn nieuwste novelle 'Gran Balconia' (Gottmer 14+) beleven we een hete zomer in de galerijflat van Shell (14), haar twee zussen en hoogzwangere moeder. Ze wordt voor het eerst verliefd, maar wil niet 'zo' worden als haar moeder, die vier kinderen van vier verschillende mannen heeft. Kinderboekrecensenten Jaap Friso (JaapLeest.nl) en Bas Maliepaard (Trouw) praten met Derk Visser over de inspiratie die hij haalde uit zijn werk bij Jeugdzorg, over schrijven over meisjes, menstruatiearmoede, stereotypen rond 'achterbuurtkinderen' en hoe je die als auteur bevestigt of juist doorbreekt en bovenal over zijn sympathie voor kinderen die het moeilijk hebben. Verwijzingen in deze aflevering Cruel Summer We laten een fragmentje horen uit het liedje 'Cruel Summer' van de Britse meidengroep Bananarama uit 1983. 100 dagen in de jeugdzorg Jaap noemt het programma '100 dagen in de jeugd- en gezinszorg' van Nicolaas Veul. Dat is hier te bekijken.

PART 1 of a 2-part BEST OF compilation of Karl Pilkington's ROCKBUSTERS (a cheap knockoff of Blockbusters) from the Xfm Ricky Gervais Show with Stephen Merchant. Not only was this one of Karl's longest running features (along with Monkey News), but it was also voted by fans as his greatest XFM feature of all time. Karl Pilkington gives a cryptic clue (it's usually nonsense) and the initials of a famous band or artist (he sometimes gets the initials wrong), and listeners either call, or as the feature developed (unless they were experiencing technical difficulties), email in their answers. The winner gets an arbitrary assortment of tat, often including a pointless DVD seemingly chosen at random from the bargain bucket. This 2-part BEST OF ROCKBUSTERS Compilation is based on the comprehensive 6-part ROCKBUSTERS compilation of every Rockbuster segment from the Xfm Ricky Gervais Show (released previously). CHAPTERS: Weezer, Coldplay, Justin Timberlake (0:00) Destiny's Child, Puff Daddy aka Diddy, The Bangles (10:43) The Dandy Warhols, Holly Valance, Whitney Houston (17:59) Foreigner, Shalamar, Bananarama (25:33) Adam Ant, Pixies, Anita Baker (33:14) Four Tops, The Charlatans, Freda Payne (40:45) Busted, The Spinners aka Detroit Spinners, Born Slippy (48:40) Limp Bizkit, Turin Brakes, Terence Trent D'Arby aka Sananda Maitreya (55:17) Junior Senior, Alison Moyet, Buzzcocks (1:06:39)

This week on Talk2TheHand, we dive into the glittering world of Smash Hits—the legendary pop magazine that defined an era and shaped the music tastes of millions of 80s and 90s kids. Known for its cheeky tone, playful interviews, and iconic posters, Smash Hits wasn't just a magazine; it was the pop bible for fans of Wham!, Madonna, Kylie, Take That, and beyond. We'll explore how it captured the heart and humor of the biggest names in pop and created a voice that was every bit as fun and irreverent as the stars it covered. But Smash Hits wasn't just about what you read—it was about what you experienced, too. Enter the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party: an annual live music extravaganza that brought fans closer than ever to their idols. From legendary performances to chaotic celebrity appearances (and plenty of surprise winners), the Poll Winners Party was the place where pop culture, fan hysteria, and unforgettable live moments collided. We'll relive some of the most iconic highlights, from jaw-dropping sets to the most unexpected award wins. As we unpack the legacy of Smash Hits, we'll talk about how it helped to bridge the gap between fans and pop stars, creating an intimate and playful connection that modern media has struggled to replicate. What made its interviews, song lyrics, and "bizarre-but-brilliant" features so unique?  Join us as we reminisce about those sticker-covered issues, the cherished centerfolds on bedroom walls, and the Poll Winners Party memories that defined a generation.

Paulo relives a childhood Castle Grayskull nightmare and makes a Freudian slip that would give He-Man and Fisto a very profitable Only Fans account. Status Quo locking Spandau Ballet in the bathroom, Bananarama don't need town cars, a very thirsty Boy George and Bono's villain origin story, we find out how they made the original Band Aid - and yes, we do swoon over George Michael, his beautiful voice and very symmetrical black and white shirt. ELTON JOHN IS BLIND - for now, but he's getting better, a little click bait never hurt anyone. Dori does a live unboxing and finds a sheep dressed in sheeps clothing. Paulo found a movie staring Kirk Douglas and Farrah Fawcett that featured a lot of nudity. And only 10% of it was Farrah Fawcett. A millennial blogger has a few problems with Back to the Future, we in turn have a few problems with a millennial blogger and you'll never believe who's the Ted Danson doppelgänger.

The commercial resurgence at PWL continued in 1993, with all four of the singles covered in this episode becoming UK hits. Still on her hot streak following the success of "The Love I Lost" with West End, Sybil returned to the top 5 with original tune "When I'm Good And Ready", which was credited to her alone. Sybil tells us what she thought of the song, which was poppier than her usual efforts, and Mike Stock shares his thoughts about the single coming together and its various mixes and remixes. After the disappointment of "Last Thing On My Mind", Bananarama were back in the top 30 with their remake of "More, More, More". Mike also discusses that track and the Please Yourself album. Meanwhile, another track was made with the World Wrestling Federation Superstars, with "Wrestlemania" reaching the top 20, and Coronation Street star Bill Tarmey visited the Hit Factory for a successful charity remake of "One Voice". Pete Day recalls working on both those singles, which came to PWL courtesy of Simon Cowell. Support the showSubscribe for bonus material at chartbeats.com.au/sawTwitter: @ChartBeatsAU, @MrMattDenbyInstagram: @chartbeatsauFacebook: Chart Beats: A Journey Through PopEmail: chartbeats.au@gmail.com

Today's guest makes me feel a little bit country AND a little bit rock and roll. Welcome singer/songwriter Pamela McNeill to the podcast. She has accomplished so much in her career. But it all started in Winona, MN. She talks to me about the music scene there and what event set her mind on being a musician. She talks about some unusual things about her like being a massive fan of Rush, working as a clown at the Ground Round restaurant and how that led to her first real musical job. Soon enough she was playing cover bands, which led to a gig with the legendary Lamont Cranston, where she got a real education in the music business. That led to a gig opening for the one and only Etta James! But a serious relationship led her to the UK where she entered the orbit of the man himself…Rick Astley, back in his first heyday. That led to a bit of karmic retribution for one particular member of Bananarama.  And all the while, she's writing her own music. She wrote Yanni's first lyrical song, wrote for Wynonna Judd, wrote with Pam Tillis, and many others. And when she finally made her own albums, she blew it out of the water. She has been releasing music steadily since 1998 and has a new EP out called Wave After Wave on Farm To Label records. Think Fleetwood Mac playing country music and you start to get a feel for it.

To wrap up 1992, Stock and Waterman worked with two new artists and two returning favourites. In the case of Kylie Minogue, it was to be her final single released with PWL. Fittingly, her version of "Celebration" was lifted from Greatest Hits and gave her a final UK top 20 hit before departing for new musical adventures. We hear from Phil Harding & Ian Curnow, who produced the track (which later had additional production added by Stock and Waterman). Also, music video director Gregg Masuak joins us again to discuss the shoot in Rio de Janeiro. Bananarama were also back for an even more ABBA-influenced single, "Last Thing On My Mind", which wouldn't be a hit for them but, years later, would give Steps their first UK top 10 single. Mike Stock shares his thoughts on both versions. In terms of the new artists, sibling duo Fresh released "Did I Say Ti Amo" and, thanks to Simon Cowell, PWL embarked on a collaboration with the World Wrestling Federation Superstars, resulting in a top 5 hit for "Slam Jam". Mike and former PWL engineer Pete Day recall the WWF project coming together.Support the Show.Subscribe for bonus material at chartbeats.com.au/sawTwitter: @ChartBeatsAU, @MrMattDenbyInstagram: @chartbeatsauFacebook: Chart Beats: A Journey Through PopEmail: chartbeats.au@gmail.com

¡Prepárate para un viaje musical épico a través del tiempo! En este episodio de Vinyl Radio, exploramos los éxitos más importantes del Billboard Hot 100 de agosto de 1987, cuando la música pop y el rock dominaban las ondas de radio. Desde las baladas poderosas hasta los himnos llenos de energía, te llevaremos a una era inolvidable con un Top 10 que definió a toda una generación.

Summer 1992 didn't yield much in the way of Stock and Waterman productions. But in August that year, there was a sudden rush of releases, kicked off by a curious novelty record: a remake of "Summer Holiday" by Fat Slags, characters from Viz. Former PWL engineer Pete Day helps us get to the bottom of who exactly performed on the track. Meanwhile, Kylie Minogue got one step closer to departing the Hit Factory with new single "What Kind Of Fool (Heard All That Before)", which was included on her Greatest Hits album. Mike Stock and Terry Blamey tell us about the song, which sounded like classic SAW. Speaking of classics, Nancy Davis had another shot at success with a cover version of Jackie Wilson's "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher". And the new-look Bananarama returned to work with Mike and Pete Waterman on "Movin' On", their first single as just the duo of Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward. Support the Show.Subscribe for bonus material at chartbeats.com.au/sawTwitter: @ChartBeatsAU, @MrMattDenbyInstagram: @chartbeatsauFacebook: Chart Beats: A Journey Through PopEmail: chartbeats.au@gmail.com

Your sensei's of pop culture trivia celebrate the 40th anniversary of one of Heigl's formative influences. You'll learn how the Karate Kid led Clint Eastwood to ban all Coca-Cola products from his sight, the real life war heroes Mr. Miyagi's story sheds light on, Pat Norita's surprising early career as a boundary-pushing Catskills comic, all the leads we nearly had before they landed on Ralph Macchio, and the array of real-life martial arts heavies involved in the film. Heigl, a real life Karate Kid, explains all the ways that the Crane Kick was a bogus (and illegal) move and doles out some self-defense advice you can use — before Jordan waxes poetic on Bananarama.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Greek goddess of love, sex, desire and beauty, Aphrodite is mostly depicted naked and/or wet. And depending on your age and taste, that could be by Botticelli, Bananarama or Lady Gaga. Born from the sea foam, you can still visit her rock in Cyprus, where there's always a crowd of tourists. No one is immune to her charms, says Hesiod. In fact we can all learn from Aphrodite's stress-busting strategy: when something annoying or stressful happens, she goes to Cyprus - for a bath.Rock star mythologist' and reformed stand-up Natalie Haynes is obsessed with the ancient world. Here she explores key stories from ancient Rome and Greece that still have resonance today. They might be biographical, topographical, mythological or epic, but they are always hilarious, magical and tragic, mystifying and revelatory. And they tell us more about ourselves now than seems possible of stories from a couple of thousand years ago.Producer...Mary Ward-Lowery

Pop music is as quintessential to the summer as warm breezes, lazy afternoons, and margaritas by the pool. And for decades, musical artists have been inspired by the season to create memorable, catchy songs that have, in turn, become required listening every time the warmer months roll around. So for one of our 2024 Summer Specials, the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to feel the heat as we name the Best "Summer" Song. Songs discussed include “Cruel Summer” by Bananarama; “Summer in the City” by The Lovin' Spoonful; “Cool for the Summer” by Demi Lovato; “Summer Breeze” by Seals & Crofts; “California Gurls” by Katy Perry & Snoop Dogg; “Summer of ‘69” by Bryan Adams; “The Boys of Summer” by Don Henley; “Sailing” by Christopher Cross; “Come Sail Away” by Styx; “Summer Lovin'” from Grease; “Under the Boardwalk” by The Drifters; “I Get Around” by The Beach Boys; and more!

Time to wrap up our New Wave Game and see if anyone survives! We're down to the final three volumes of the CD series Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80s, and either Kevin or Kornflake could still win. (But come on, our money is on Kornflake...) And we've reached the mid-80s, when there was no shortage of new wave hits in the Top 40. So we're talking about acts like Wang Chung, Thompson Twins, Katrina and the Waves, Animotion, Tears for Fears, Bananarama, and Men at Work. It seemed like nothing was off limits on the pop charts. A musical about chess? Sure. Vietnam-era news clips set to a dance beat? Absolutely. The Dream Academy had a hit that sounded like nothing else. Arcadia had a hit that sounded exactly like Duran Duran, and with good reason. There's even a trio of New England-area new wave bands represented here. (We all know 'Til Tuesday, but do you remember Miracle Legion? How about Rubber Rodeo?) So enjoy one last round of new wave madness, and then we can relax. Just like Frankie said.
