John Granger Attempts to Convince Nick (and You!) That The Hallmarked Man will be Considered the Best of the Series.We review our take-away impressions from our initial reading of The Hallmarked Man. Although we enjoyed it, especially John's incredible prediction of Robin's ectopic pregnancy, neither of us came away thinking this was the finest book in the series. For Nick, this was a surprise, as enthusiastic J. K. Rowling fan that he is other than Career of Evil every book he has read has been his favourite. Using an innovative analysis of the character pairs surrounding both Cormoran and Robin, John argues that we can't really appreciate the artistry of book number eight until we consider its place in the series. Join John and Nick as they review the mysteries that remain to be resolved and how The Hallmarked Man sets readers up for shocking reveals in Strike 9 and 10!Why Troubled Blood is the Best Strike Novel:* The Pillar Post Collection of Troubled Blood Posts at HogwartsProfessor by John Granger, Elizabeth Baird-Hardy, Louise Freeman, Beatrice Groves, and Nick JefferyTroubled Blood and Faerie Queene: The Kanreki ConversationBut What If We Judge Strike Novels by a Different Standard than Shed Artifice? What About Setting Up the ‘Biggest Twist' in Detective Fiction History?* If Rowling is to be judged by the ‘shock' of the reveals in Strike 10, then The Hallmarked Man, the most disappointing book in the series even to many Serious Strikers, will almost certainly be remembered as the book that set up the finale with the greatest technical misdirection while playing fair.* The ending must be a shock, one that readers do not see coming, BUT* The author must provide the necessary clues and pointers repeatedly and emphatically lest the reader feel cheated at the point of revelation.* If the Big Mysteries of the series are to be solved with the necessary shock per both Russian Formalist and Perennialist understanding, then the answers to be revealed in the final two Strike novels, Books Two and Three of the finale trilogy, should be embedded in The Hallmarked Man.* Rowling on Playing Fair with Readers:The writer says that she wanted to extend the shelf of detective fiction without breaking it. “Part of the appeal and fascination of the genre is that it has clear rules. I'm intrigued by those rules and I like playing with them. Your detective should always lay out the information fairly for the reader, but he will always be ahead of the game. In terms of creating a character, I think Cormoran Strike conforms to certain universal rules but he is very much of this time.* On the Virtue of ‘Penetration' in Austen, Dickens, and Rowling* Rowling on the Big Twist' in Austen's Emma:“I have never set up a surprise ending in a Harry Potter book without knowing I can never, and will never, do it anywhere near as well as Austen did in Emma.”What are the Key Mysteries of the Strike series?Nancarrow FamilyWhy did Leda and Ted leave home in Cornwall as they did?Why did Ted and Joan not “save” Strike and Lucy?Was Leda murdered or did she commit suicide?If she was murdered, who dunit?If she commited suicide, why did she do it?What happened to Switch Whittaker?Cormoran StrikeIs Jonny Rokeby his biological father?What SIB case was he investigating when he was blown up?Was he the father of Charlotte's lost baby?

All that occurred to him, however, was the fact that there was an unusual number of pairs connected to Chiswell's death: couples—Geraint and Della, Jimmy and Flick; pairs of full siblings—Izzy and Fizzy, Jimmy and Billy; the duo of blackmailing collaborators—Jimmy and Geraint; and the subsets of each blackmailer and his deputy—Flick and Aamir. There was even the quasi-parental pairing of Della and Aamir. This left two people who formed a pair in being isolated within the otherwise close-knit family: the widowed Kinvara and Raphael, the unsatisfactory, outsider son.Strike tapped his pen unconsciously against the notebook, thinking. Pairs. The whole business had begun with a pair of crimes: Chiswell's blackmail and Billy's allegation of infanticide. He had been trying to find the connection between them from the start, unable to believe that they could be entirely separate cases, even if on the face of it their only link was in the blood tie between the Knight brothers.Part Two, Chapter 52Key Relationship Pairings in Cormoran Strike:Who Killed Leda Strike?To Rowling-Galbraith's credit, credible arguments in dedicated posts have been made that every person in the list below was the one who murdered Leda Strike. Who do you think did it?* Jonny Rokeby and the Harringay Crime Syndicate (Heroin Dark Lord 2.0),* Ted Nancarrow (Uncle Ted Did It),* Dave Polworth,* Leda Strike (!),* Lucy Fantoni (Lucy and Joan Did It and here),* Sir Randolph Whittaker,* Nick Herbert,* Peter Gillespie, and* Charlotte Campbell-RossScripted Ten Questions:1. So, Nick, back when we first read Hallmarked Man we said that there were four things we knew for sure would be said about Strike 8 in the future. Do you remember what they were?2. And, John, you've been thinking about the ‘Set-Up' idea and how future Rowling Readers will think of Hallmarked Man, even that they will think of it as the best Strike novel. I thought that was Troubled Blood by consensus. What's made you change your mind?3. So, Nick, yes, Troubled Blood I suspect will be ranked as the best of series, even best book written by Rowling ever, but, if looked at as the book that served the most critical place in setting up the finale, I think Hallmarked Man has to be considered better in that crucial way than Strike 5, better than any Strike novel. Can you think of another Strike mystery that reviews specific plot points and raises new aspects of characters and relationships the way Strike 8 does?4. Are you giving Hallmarked Man a specific function with respect to the last three books than any of the others? If so, John, what is that exactly and what evidence do we have that in Rowling's comments about reader-writer obligations and writer ambitions?5. Nick, I think Hallmarked Man sets us up to answer the Key mysteries that remain, that the first seven books left for the final three to answer. I'm going to organize those unresolved questions into three groups and challenge you to think of the ones I'm missing, especially if I'm missing a category.6. If I understand the intention of your listing these remaining questions, John, your saying that the restatement of specific plot points and characters from the first seven Strike novels in Hallmarked Man points to the possible, even probable answers to those questions. What specifically are the hallmarks in this respect of Hallmarked Man?7. If you take those four points, Nick, and revisit the mysteries lists in three categories, do you see how Rowling hits a fairness point with respect to clueing readers into what will no doubt be shocking answers to them if they're not looking for the set-ups?8. That's fun, Nick, but there's another way at reaching the same conclusions, namely, charting the key relationships of Strike and Ellacott to the key family, friends, and foes in their lives and how they run in pairs or parallel couplets (cue PPoint slides).9. Can we review incest and violence against or trafficking of young women in the Strike series? Are those the underpinning of the majority of the mysteries that remain in the books?10. Many Serious Strikers and Gonzo Galbraithians hated Striuke 8 because Hallmarked Man failed to meet expectations. In conclusion, do you think, Nick, that this argument that the most recent Strike-Ellacott adventure is the best because of how it sets us up for the wild finish to come will be persuasive -- or just annoying?On Imagination as Transpersonal Faculty and Non-Liturgical Sacred ArtThe Neo-Iconoclasm of Film (and Other Screened Adaptations): Justin requested within his question for an expansion of my allusion to story adaptations into screened media as a “neo-iconoclasm.” I can do that here briefly in two parts. First, by urging you to read my review of the first Hunger Games movie adaptation, ‘Gamesmakers Hijack Story: Capitol Wins Again,' in which I discussed at post's end how ‘Watching Movies is a a Near Sure Means to Being Hijacked by Movie Makers.' In that, I explain via an excerpt from Jerry Mander's Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television, the soul corrosive effects of screened images.Second, here is a brief introduction to the substance of the book I am working on.Rowling is a woman of profound contradictions. On the one hand, like all of us she is the walking incarnation of her Freudian family romance per Paglia, the ideas and blindspots of the age in which we live, with the peculiar individual prejudices and preferences and politics of her upbringing, education, and life experiences, especially the experiences we can call crises and consequent core beliefs, aversions, and desires. Rowling acknowledges all this, and, due to her CBT exercises and one assumes further talking therapy, she is more conscious of the elephant she is riding and pretending to steer than most of her readers.She points to this both in asides she make in her tweets and public comments but also in her descriptive metaphor of how she writes. The ‘Lake' of that metaphor, the alocal place within her from her story ideas and inspiration spring, is her “muse,” the word for superconscious rather than subconscious ideas that she used in her 2007 de la Cruz interview. She consciously recognizes that, despite her deliberate reflection on her PTSD, daddy drama, and idiosyncratic likes and dislikes, she still has unresolved issues that her non-conscious mind presents to her as story conflict for imaginative resolution.Her Lake is her persona well, the depths of her individual identity and a mask she wears.The Shed, in contrast, is the metaphorical place where Rowling takes the “stuff” given her by the creature in her Lake, the blobs of molten glass inspiration, to work it into proper story. The tools in this Shed are unusual, to say the least, and are the great markers of what makes Rowling unique among contemporary writers and a departure from, close to a contradiction of the artist you would expect to be born of her life experiences, formative crises, and education.Out of a cauldron potion made from listening to the Smiths, Siouxie and the Banshees, and The Clash, reading and loving Val McDermid, Roddy Doyle, and Jessica Mitford, and surviving a lower middle class upbringing with an emotionally barren homelife and Comprehensive education on the England-Wales border, you'd expect a Voldemort figure at Goblet of Fire's climax to rise rather than a writer who weaves archetypally rich myths of the soul's journey to perfection in the spirit with alchemical coloring and sequences, ornate chiastic structures, and a bevy of symbols visible only to the eye of the Heart.To understand Rowling, as she all but says in her Lake and Shed metaphor, one has to know her life story and experiences to “get” from where her inspiration bubbles up and, as important, you need a strong grasp of the traditionalist worldview and place of literature in it to appreciate the power of the tools she uses, especially how she uses them in combination.The biggest part of that is understanding the Perennialist definition of “Sacred Art.” I touched on this in a post about Rowling's beloved Christmas story, ‘Dante, Sacred Art, and The Christmas Pig.'Rowling has been publicly modest about the aims of her work, allowing that it would be nice to think that readers will be more empathetic after reading her imaginative fiction. Dante was anything but modest or secretive in sharing his self-understanding in the letter he wrote to Cangrande about The Divine Comedy: “The purpose of the whole work is to remove those living in this life from the state of wretchedness and to lead them to the state of blessedness.” His aim, point blank, was to create a work of sacred art, a category of writing and experience that largely exists outside our understanding as profane postmoderns, but, given Rowling's esoteric artistry and clear debts to Dante, deserves serious consideration as what she is writing as well.Sacred art, in brief, is representational work — painting, statuary, liturgical vessels and instruments, and the folk art of theocentric cultures in which even cutlery and furniture are means to reflection and transcendence of the world — that employ revealed forms and symbols to bring the noetic faculty or heart into contact with the supra-sensible realities each depicts. It is not synonymous with religious art; most of the art today that has a religious subject is naturalist and sentimental rather than noetic and iconographic, which is to say, contemporary artists imitate the creation of God as perceived by human senses rather than the operation of God in creation or, worse, create abstractions of their own internally or infernally generated ideas.Story as sacred art, in black to white contrast, is edifying literature and drama in which the soul's journey to spiritual perfection is portrayed for the reader or the audience's participation within for transformation from wretchedness to blessedness, as Dante said. As with the plastic arts, these stories employ traditional symbols of the revealed traditions in conformity with their understanding of cosmology, soteriology, and spiritual anthropology. The myths and folklore of the world's various traditions, ancient Greek drama, the epic poetry of Greece, Rome, and Medieval Europe, the parables of Christ, the plays of Shakespeare's later period, and the English high fantasy tradition from Coleridge to the Inklings speak this same symbolic language and relay the psychomachia experience of the human victory over death.Dante is a sacred artist of this type. As difficult as it may be to understand Rowling as a writer akin to Dante, Shakespeare, Homer, Virgil, Aeschylus, Spenser, Lewis, and Tolkien, her deployment of traditional symbolism and the success she enjoys almost uniquely in engaging and edifying readers of all ages, beliefs, and circumstances suggests this is the best way of understanding her work. Christmas Pig is the most obviously sacred art piece that Rowling has created to date. It is the marriage of Dantean depths and the Estecean lightness of Lewis Carroll's Alice books, about which more later.[For an introduction to reading poems, plays, and stories as sacred art, that is, allegorical depictions of the soul's journey to spiritual perfection that are rich in traditional symbolism, Ray Livingston's The Traditional Theory of Literature is the only book length text in print. Kenneth Oldmeadow's ‘Symbolism and Sacred Art' in his Traditionalism: Religion in the light of the Perennial Philosophy(102-113), ‘Traditional Art' in The Essential Seyyed Hossein Nasr(203-214), and ‘The Christian and Oriental, or True Philosophy of Art' in The Essential Ananda K. Coomaraswamy(123-152) explain in depth the distinctions between sacred and religious, natural, and humanist art. Martin Lings' The Sacred Art of Shakespeare: To Take Upon Us the Mystery of Things and Jennifer Doane Upton's two books on The Divine Comedy, Dark Way to Paradise and The Ordeal of Mercy are the best examples I know of reading specific works of literature as sacred art rather than as ‘stories with symbolic meaning' read through a profane and analytic lens.]‘Profane Art' from this view is “art for art's sake,” an expression of individual genius and subjective meaning that is more or less powerful. The Perennialist concern with art is less about gauging an artist's success in expressing his or her perception or its audience's response than with its conformity to traditional rules and its utility, both in the sense of practical everyday use and in being a means by which to be more human. Insofar as a work of art is good with respect to this conformity and edifying utility, it is “sacred art;” so much as it fails, it is “profane.” The best of modern art, even that with religious subject matter or superficially beautiful and in that respect edifying, is from this view necessarily profane.Sacred art differs from modern and postmodern conceptions of art most specifically, though, in what it is representing. Sacred art is not representing the natural world as the senses perceive it or abstractions of what the individual and subjective mind “sees,” but is an imitation of the Divine art of creation. The artist “therefore imitates nature not in its external forms but in its manner of operation as asserted so categorically by St. Thomas Aquinas [who] insists that the artist must not imitate nature but must be accomplished in ‘imitating nature in her manner of operation'” (Nasr 2007, 206, cf. “Art is the imitation of Nature in her manner of operation: Art is the principle of manufacture” (Summa Theologia Q. 117, a. I). Schuon described naturalist art which imitates God's creation in nature by faithful depiction of it, consequently, as “clearly luciferian.” “Man must imitate the creative act, not the thing created,” Aquinas' “manner of operation” rather than God's operation manifested in created things in order to produce ‘creations'which are not would-be duplications of those of God, but rather a reflection of them according to a real analogy, revealing the transcendental aspect of things; and this revelation is the only sufficient reason of art, apart from any practical uses such and such objects may serve. There is here a metaphysical inversion of relation [the inverse analogy connecting the principial and manifested orders in consequence of which the highest realities are manifested in their remotest reflections[1]]: for God, His creature is a reflection or an ‘exteriorized' aspect of Himself; for the artist, on the contrary, the work is a reflection of an inner reality of which he himself is only an outward aspect; God creates His own image, while man, so to speak, fashions his own essence, at least symbolically. On the principial plane, the inner manifests the outer, but on the manifested plane, the outer fashions the inner (Schuon 1953, 81, 96).The traditional artist, then, in imitation of God's “exteriorizing” His interior Logos in the manifested space-time plane, that is, nature, instead of depicting imitations of nature in his craft, submits to creating within the revealed forms of his craft, which forms qua intellections correspond to his inner essence or logos.[2] The work produced in imitation of God's “manner of operation” then resembles the symbolic or iconographic quality of everything existent in being a transparency whose allegorical and anagogical content within its traditional forms is relatively easy to access and a consequent support and edifying shock-reminder to man on his spiritual journey. The spiritual function of art is that “it exteriorizes truths and beauties in view of our interiorization… or simply, so that the human soul might, through given phenomena, make contact with the heavenly archetypes, and thereby with its own archetype” (Schuon 1995a, 45-46).Rowling in her novels, crafted with tools all taken from the chest of a traditional Sacred Artist, is writing non-liturgical Sacred Art. Films and all the story experiences derived of adaptations of imaginative literature to screened images, are by necessity Profane Art, which is to say per the meaning of “profane,” outside the temple or not edifying spiritually. Film making is the depiction of how human beings encounter the time-space world through the senses, not an imitation of how God creates and a depiction of the spiritual aspect of the world, a liminal point of entry to its spiritual dimension. Whence my describing it as a “neo-iconoclasm.”The original iconoclasts or “icon bashers” were believers who treasured sacred art but did not believe it could use images of what is divine without necessarily being blasphemous; after the incarnation of God as Man, this was no longer true, but traditional Christian iconography is anything but naturalistic. It could not be without becoming subjective and profane rather than being a means to spiritual growth and encounters. Western religious art from the Renaissance and Reformation forward, however, embraces profane imitation of the sense perceived world, which is to say naturalistic and as such the antithesis of sacred art. Film making, on religious and non-religious subjects, is the apogee of this profane art which is a denial of any and all of the parameters of Sacred art per Aquinas, traditional civilizations, and the Perennialists.It is a neo-iconoclasm and a much more pervasive and successful destruction of the traditional world-view, so much so that to even point out the profanity inherent to film making is to insure dismissal as some kind of “fundamentalist,” “Puritan,” or “religious fanatic.”Screened images, then, are a type of iconoclasm, albeit the inverse and much more subtle kind than the relatively traditional and theocentric denial of sacred images (the iconoclasm still prevalent in certain Reform Church cults, Judaism, and Islam). This neo-iconoclasm of moving pictures depicts everything in realistic, life-like images, everything, that is, except the sacred which cannot be depicted as we see and experience things. This exclusion of the sacred turns upside down the anti-naturalistic depictions of sacred persons and events in iconography and sacred art. The effect of this flood of natural pictures akin to what we see with our eyes is to compel the flooded mind to accept time and space created nature as the ‘most real,' even ‘the only real.' The sacred, by never being depicted in conformity with accepted supernatural forms, is effectively denied.Few of us spend much time in live drama theaters today. Everyone watches screened images on cineplex screens, home computers, and smart phones. And we are all, consequently, iconoclasts and de facto agnostics, I'm afraid, to greater and lesser degrees because of this immersion and repetitive learning from the predominant art of our secular culture and its implicit atheism.Contrast that with the imaginative experience of a novel that is not pornographic or primarily a vehicle of perversion and violence. We are obliged to generate images of the story in the transpersonal faculty within each of us called the imagination, one I think that is very much akin to conscience or the biblical ‘heart.' This is in essence an edifying exercise, unlike viewing photographic images on screens. That the novel appears at the dawn of the Modern Age and the beginning of the end of Western corporate spirituality, I think is no accident but a providential advent. Moving pictures, the de facto regime artistry of the materialist civilization in which we live, are the counter-blow to the novel's spiritual oxygen.That's the best I can manage tonight to offer something to Justin in response to more about the “neo-iconoclasm” of film This is a public episode.

The story began as a fantasy based on a childhood memory about a Banshee in Ireland. As repressed memories surfaced, the story evolved into an memoir unlike any other. The story blends imagination with the true story about six-year-old Paddy in the 1960sand his life in New York City, to rural Kilkenny County in Ireland, and back to New York, and how he learned that Banshees are real while also managing to navigate and survive a broken home and a variety of other early-life challenges. The boy's name may not really be Paddy, but to tell this story, a hint of Irishness and anonymity may be necessary.

Det er juletid, og Poptillægget genudsender det bedste fra arkivet hver dag fra 1. til 24. december. Afsnittet er oprindeligt udgivet d 19. februar 2023. Det vælter ud med værker om venskabsbreakups, og det tolker vi som, at der er brug for, at vi ophøjer venskabets betydning i vores liv. Vi mangler et sprog for de forliste venskaber, og det sprog er begyndt at dukke op i film som den Oscar-nominerede film ’Banshees of Inisherin’, Ia Genbergs prisvindende roman ’Detaljerne’ og Dolly Aldertons inderlige tv-serie version af bogen ’Everything I know about love’. Vi dykker ned i de tre værker og lader dem sætte ord på venskabets mange facetter. Hvordan slår man op med en ven? Hvorfor? Hvad sker der, når grænserne for venskabet udviskes, og man pludselig kysser sin veninde - hvad er man så? Vi søger også indad i os selv og taler om, hvorfor venskabsbreakups er så vigtige at tage alvorligt, og hvorfor venskaber i det hele taget fylder så meget i popkulturen - både kærligheden men også sorgen, der kan følge med dem. Vi har også spurgt jer lyttere om jeres oplevelser med venskabsbreakups og læser dem op løbende. Dog ikke dem alle, da vi har modtaget overvældende mange. Og tusind tak for dem.

This week on I Know That Face, Andrew and Stephen take each other to task over their recent Letterboxd reviews, discussing everything from the new movies The Running Man and Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, upcoming releases like Primate, to all five Twilight films. Stephen also argues that TV is officially back, thanks to The Chair Company and Pluribus. After this, we take on the career of Kerry Condon, Tipperary's most famous export. Oscar-nominated for her role in Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin, she has been acting since the '90s, appearing in shows like Better Call Saul and Rome, as well as films like Unleashed, F1, In the Land of Saints and Sinners, and the just-released Train Dreams.

Auf Jamaika ist Musik keine bloße Unterhaltung. Sie ist Theologie, Politik und Überlebensstrategie.Entstanden in den Trümmern kolonialer Ausbeutung, aus Sklaverei, Diaspora und Rastafari-Visionen, gelebt vor den Altaren der Soundsystems und angereichert durch die sonische Philosophie des Dub sollte Reggae zu einem globalen Phänomen und von einer Kultur zu etwas Kulturstiftendem werden.Seit über 40 Jahren ist Helmut Philipps Teil der deutschen und internationalen Reggae-Szene, wirkte als Produzent an zahllosen Alben mit, betrieb das Label T‘Bwana Sounds, arbeitete als Soundengineer, schreibt für die Zeitschriften „Riddim“ und „MINT“ und ist der Autor der Bücher »Reggae in Deutschland« und »Dub Konferenz - 50 Jahre Dub aus Jamaika«.Ein Gespräch über seine musikalischen Anfänge mit der Band Konec, eine Tour mit Siouxsie and the Banshees und die grausamen Erfahrungen als Vorband zur Zeit der neuen deutschen Welle, über analoge Studiotechnik und die erste deutsche Reggae Band, die auf Jamaika gespielt hat, über Marcus Garvey und Haile Selassie, über Dubplates und Soundsystem Kultur und über die Bedeutung des Mad Professor Zitates “No Song, no Dub”.Zur Folge⁠⁠Homepage von Helmut Philipps⁠⁠Helmut Philipps bei FacebookNatürliche Ausrede⁠⁠Homepage⁠Instagram⁠⁠Unterstützung⁠⁠bei Steady⁠⁠bei PayPal

Je ne pense pas être le seul, vous avez sans doute remarqué qu'au cours de ces vingt dernières années, le rock et les groupes en général ont perdu du terrain dans les classements et les ventes. Et même si depuis peu, il y a un retour du rock, nous vivons une époque où il n'y en a plus que pour les chanteurs, rappeurs et les DJ bien sûr, qui chipotent seuls dans leur coin ou s'invitent les uns les autres sur leurs singles désincarnés en streaming. Si on vend encore beaucoup de 33 Tours de groupes de rock ou de musiciens soul, il faut bien reconnaître que ce sont ceux d'anciens des années 60, 70, 80 et 90. De cette époque où pour exister, créer dans le monde de l'industrie musicale et face au public, rien ne valait être dans un groupe. Cette époque où tous se rêvaient devenir les prochains Beatles, Earth Wind & Fire ou Nirvana.Et tout ça, s'était amplifié dans les années 80 et 90 avec l'arrivée des clips vidéos, du CD aussi, qu'on emmenait partout avec nous, et bien sûr des télés musicales. Les années MTV, quoi. Dans les années 80, on n'imaginait pas un monde où n'apparaîtrait pas chaque semaine un nouveau et sensationnel groupe pop. Et dans les années 90, l'arrivée du grunge des Etats-Unis et de la Britpop d'Angleterre nous faisait croire que la relève allait continuer à sortir des caves et des greniers de manière permanente avec un nouveau son. On ne savait pas encore que c'était la dernière fois, mais ne cassons pas le rêve, nous sommes en 1993. La radio et la télé diffusent alors nonstop les nouveaux titres de Nirvana, REM et Red Hot Chili Peppers quand sort le single d'un groupe qu'on croirait sorti tout droit de Seattle. Vrai, en les entendant à la radio, on imagine les Radiohead portant des jeans troués, de longues chemises de bûcheron et des cheveux bien gras.Mais rien à voir ; ces petits nouveaux ne vivent pas très loin de chez nous, ils sont de Oxford et comme leurs aînés de Pink Floyd, ils sortent de l'université. Ils ont commencé à jouer ensemble durant leurs humanités et ne se sont pas perdus de vue pendant leurs études supérieures. L'un d'eux jobant dans un magasin de disques a ainsi donné la cassette qu'ils ont enregistrée à un représentant de la firme EMI et bingo, ils ont dit ça nous intéresse. Et justement, pour Thom Yorke, le chanteur et guitariste, on ne dit pas non à EMI, la firme de disques de Queen. C'est parce qu'il était fan de Brian May que le père de Thom lui avait acheté une guitare acoustique, et c'est en voyant à 17 ans jouer le groupe new wave Siouxsie Sioux and The Banshees qu'il a décidé de se mettre au chant. Quant au nom de Radiohead, il vient d'une chanson des Talking Heads, un autre groupe qu'il a beaucoup écouté.Alors grunge, les Radiohead ? Pas du tout. Ils sont plutôt Pink Floyd, les mecs de Cambridge : pas le même coin ni la même époque mais la démarche est la même. Des guitares, oui, mais aussi et surtout de l'électronique et cette volonté de travailler en vase clos, de chercher, de créer des choses qui n'ont jamais été entendues. C'est pas un chouïa déprimant ? disent des gars à la BBC qui ne les diffusent pas au départ mais vont y être obligés à cause de MTV qui elle, les matraque. Oui, mais c'est dans l'air du temps en 1993, écoutez Pearl Jam et Nirvana. Et puis Pink Floyd l'était aussi, un peu déprimant, même Coluche le disait …

In this episode David sat down with friend of the pod and music critic Tommy Ellis to discuss the debut album by Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Scream from 1978.

Join host Gary and the Bantering Banshees, Jill and Steph, as they descend into Ireland's most mournful legend. From Lady Fanshawe's 1642 moonlit terror at Ballyallia Castle—where a red-haired phantom keened “Ahone! Ahone!” just hours before an O'Brien kinsman's death—to the famine-ravaged Corofin Workhouse, where a ragged wraith paced the fog, heralding mass graves. Is she Aibhill, fairy queen of the Dalcassians? A betrayed lover's ghost? Or just a barn owl's shriek twisted by grief and superstition? One thing is certain: when the Bean Sí calls your ancient name—O'Brien, O'Neill, or otherwise—death is already at the door.Facebook Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/544933724571696Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/withinthemistpodcast/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@withinthemistpodcast1977 Hosted on Acast.

In his new movie, “Ballad of a Small Player,” Colin Farrell (The Penguin, The Banshees of Inisherin, In Bruges) plays a gambling addict who's not adverse to going all in. The role comes on the heels of his award-winning part in “The Penguin” on HBO, and his Golden Globe-winning performance in the 2023 film “The Banshees of Inisherin.” In this interview with Tom Power, Colin talks about continuing his winning streak by ironically playing a guy who keeps losing.Fill out our listener survey here.

In music, experimentalism is more than just "that one time in college." This week, we cover the albums that dared to be different, were fearless in their pursuit of breaking new ground, and subverted traditional expectations of what music should sound like. The spirit of experimental music is alive and well on The Sound, the debut solo album by guitarist, cellist, composer producer, arranger, painter, and educator Knox Chandler. This project is a musical memoir depicting the shift in his surroundings from the urbanism of New York, London, and Berlin to the serene rural setting of the Connecticut shoreline. Through 10 diaristic and transportative soundscapes, The Sound incorporates Knox's "Soundribbon" style of meditative, powerfully cinematic guitar, accompanied by upright bass and percussion, and is paired with a book of paintings, sketches, and writings. You no doubt have heard Knox Chandler's work throughout a career that has spanned four decades, as a member of The Psychedelic Furs, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Cyndi Lauper's band, and The Golden Palominos. He's also played, composed, produced, and arranged on dozens of records including REM's Automatic For The People, Depeche Mode's Exciter, David Gahan's Paper Monsters, Paula Cole's Harbinger, and many more.

Cheap N Nasty is a Punk band from the 70's that was recently included on the compilation "Nederpunk the Early Years 1977-1982". Herman De Tollenaere, who you might recall from several Siouxsie and the Banshees episodes, was the lead guitarist of the band, and he is joined by the band's bassist, the charming Terry. #punkrock #cheapnnasty #siouxsieandthebanshees #thelous #netherlandspunk #rockandrollheaven YUH Theme by David T and Mojo 3https://www.amazon.com/Insanity-Sobri...Nederpunk the Early Years 1977-1982https://open.spotify.com/album/7zd8qghtXLRlmPAckTMZOeCheap N Nasty EP Covergirlhttps://youtu.be/FeVkHYL3XCk?si=z8tSFtTqCMzGjBEvAbout Terry on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/share/p/1iHhMtoPBQ/Herman's page at Punktuationhttps://www.punktuationmag.com/author/herman-tollenaere/PIN Magazinehttps://www.bacteria.nl/pin-4-english-edition/The Antisocial Networkhttps://www.youtube.com/@ASN4LIFEYeah Uh Huh Social Stuff:Yeah Uh Huh on TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@yeahuhhuhpodYeah Uh Huh on Facebookhttps://facebook.com/YeahUhHuhPodYeah Uh Huh on Twitterhttps://twitter.com/YeahUhHuhPodYeah Uh Huh on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7pS9l716ljEQLeMMxwihoS?si=27bd15fb26ed46aaYeah Uh Huh on Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yeah-uh-huh/id1565097611Yeah Uh Huh Website:https://yeah-uh-huh.wixsite.com/yeahuhhuhpod

Returning guest, singer/songwriter Oscar Herrera (The Sleep of Reason, Black Tape for a Blue Girl), brings us Bauhaus and their 1980 debut full-length: 'In The Flat Field'.

Micko Westmoreland in conversation with David Eastaugh https://landlinerecords.com https://www.facebook.com/MickoMellotronic/ The Mellotronics formed in 2017 with the intention of turning Micko Westmoreland's songwriting skills into a dynamic live prospect. Expanding from their initial three piece to the current four strong line up, the band sees Micko's rabble rousing vocals and spiky, agitational guitar work augmented perfectly by the crack squad of drummer Nick Mackay of hotly tipped rock duo Barricades, Owls of Now's Vicky Carroll providing immovable bassline solidity and the intricate, effects-soaked fretwork of Jon Klein (Siouxsie & The Banshees, Specimen). Since then they've been busy cutting their teeth with a series of shows around the capital and beyond, making return visits to the 100 Club in Oxford Street and earning multiple requests for support slots from acts as established as Evan Dando (Lemonheads), David Devant & His Spirit Wife, Blue Orchids, Sheep on Drugs, The Television Personalities and The Monochrome Set. Bringing a new dimension of sharp and economic post-punk/new wave attitude to the diverse Westmoreland songbook, they've been already been favourably compared to The Jam, Pil and Wire as well as the mean, lean but undeniably powerful sound of young bucks like Idles or Shame.  

This week we're discussing every album by Magazine. Led by vocalist Howard Devoto and guitarist John McGeoch (before he left to join Siouxsie and the Banshees), Magazine is one of the most underrated punk bands to come out of England in the late 70s. Their style, which was in large part characterized by prominent synths, was unlike any other band at the time. Best of all, the songs still hold up today.   Intro/Band Overview 00:00 Real Life 7:22 Secondhand Daylight 20:13 The Correct Use of Soap 33:40 Books and Movie Adaption Talk 41:42 John McGeoch's Departure 45:40 Magic, Murder and the Weather 49:33 No Thyself 1:04:27 Outro 1:14:54   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Mike's Picks: Real Life (1978) -- Best Album, Personal Favorite Magic, Murder and the Weather (1981) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Alex's Picks: Real Life (1978) -- Best Album Secondhand Daylight (1979) -- Personal Favorite The Correct Use of Soap (1980) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Albums we discussed this episode...

This week we look at Cliodhna, an Irish fairy queen who is a patroness of Munster and also called Queen of the Banshees. This beautiful banshee has a habit of stealing mortal men away from her favored families, though her main legend is the opposite--a mortal man who she loved and with whom she ran away. This has led to the legend of the Tonn Cliodhna, a kind of diastrous tidal wave reminiscent of the one sent to either kill her or return her to her home. We look at the stories of Cliodhna, and how one might look at her stories through the lens of depth psychology. 

Budgie (born Peter Edward Clarke) is an English drummer recognized for his work with Siouxsie and the Banshees (1979–1996) and the percussion-driven project The Creatures (1981–2004). He  lost his mother at age 12, and that early loss becomes a central theme in The Absence: Memoirs of a Banshee Drummer, where he also writes candidly about his marriage with Siouxsie Sioux, struggles with alcohol, and the power dynamics in both his personal and musical life. His drumming is praised for being offbeat, tom-tom-intensive, and for bringing melodic and rhythmic invention rather than just keeping time.

Brad Zerbo and Jaytriot continue their deep dive into punk history, this time exploring the birth of the UK scene that reshaped music forever. From the Ramones' 1976 trip to London that inspired a wave of bands, to the meteoric rise and infamous flameout of the Sex Pistols, the hosts trace how punk spread like wildfire across England. They unpack the chaos of the Pistols' U.S. tour, the Clash's call-to-arms anthems, and the Damned's pioneering single that sparked the indie revolution. Along the way, they highlight the Buzzcocks' pop-punk blueprint, Billy Idol's early days with Generation X, and trailblazers like X-Ray Spex and Siouxsie and the Banshees who brought women and new sounds into the fold. With stories of Sid Vicious' onstage antics, vampire obsessions, saxophone-driven rebellion, and the Sex Pistols trolling the Queen's Jubilee, this episode captures the danger, fun, and lasting influence of punk's UK explosion.

We'll look at the impact of this album which, although not the band's best, is credited with launching Heavy Metal itself! Stephen Colbert recently became our favourite US night-time TV host when he had Weird Al Yankovic as a guest to celebrate the “Kiss-Cam” scandal.

Our guest today is a drummer, percussionist and songwriter who cut his teeth on the St Helens cabaret circuit, at just 13 years old. However that would prove to be a world away from the groundbreaking career he would pursue in the world of Post-Punk and alternative rock. Peter Clarke is better known professionally under the name of Budgie. A self taught timekeeper, his unique style has lent itself to the likes of The Slits, The Glove, The Creatures and of course imperial phase of Siouxsie and the Banshees. Over the last 40 odd years Budgie has laid down the rhythm for alternative music and now he has written a book about his life, his journey through the music industry and most importantly his understanding of self. The Absence is much more than a rock n roll diary its an honest exploration of the factors that drove him from obscurity to fame and the very edge of control. Its an honest and unflinching look at a life that until now has only ever been glimpsed from the outside. We are delighted to welcome the musical pioneer that is Budgie to the show.Before all that Deb gets caught sneaking out of a film premier by Pauline Black and then has a smashing time with Phillip Glass.

It's no surprise then, that the record that 'got him high' as a young man - and continues to astound and inspire him - is The Jimi Hendrix Experience's third and final studio album, the epic 'Electric Ladyland'.

Today, the Spotlight shines On guitarist Knox Chandler.Knox's name might ring a bell from his work with The Psychedelic Furs, Siouxsie and the Banshees, or maybe from his string arrangements on Depeche Mode's Exciter. However, his latest project takes an entirely different turn. After decades in the music business bouncing between New York, Berlin, and stages around the world, Knox found himself back in his Connecticut hometown caring for his aging mother.What started as a personal necessity became an artistic revelation. His new project, The Sound, is a collection of guitar-driven soundscapes and a book of paintings, photographs, and written meditations, all capturing his rediscovery of the Long Island Sound shoreline where he grew up. It's part memoir, part nature journal, and completely unlike anything else you'll hear this year.Knox is here to walk us through this ambitious multimedia project and share how returning home can lead to your most honest and creative work.(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Knox Chandler's album The Sound)–Dig DeeperVisit Knox Chandler at knoxchandlermusic.com and follow him on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTubePurchase Knox Chandler's The Sound book/album from Blue Elastic or Bandcamp and listen on your streaming platform of choice“I was playing a gig at CBGB's Canteen, and Cyndi showed up.

Known for her commanding stage presence, fierce makeup and fashion, and defiant lyrics, she broke boundaries for women in music.

They are aesthetic pioneers, norm-benders, and often the only woman in their field. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones, Abbey Delk, Adrien Behn, Alyia Yates, Vanessa Handy, Melia Agudelo, and Joia Putnoi.
