Send us a textChristian, the lead singer and bassist for The Ritualists, stops by the show to discuss bass playing, the new album Too Pure to Cure, cooking, history, and more.*****NYC-based The Ritualists' upcoming album, Too Pure To Cure (out now) is a trip. Produced and mixed by GRAMMY-winner Mario J McNulty (David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails, Prince), the album is packed with the band's signature mix of goth, glam, and modern rock, all wrapped up in their larger-than-life energy.Following their darkly danceable single "You Know Better", the band has recently released "The Wake" —a soaring, synth-heavy anthem inspired by classic ‘80s dark fantasy films (The NeverEnding Story, anyone?) and the shimmering hooks of the New Romantic era. Frontman Christian Dryden describes it as a reflection on childhood, resilience, and the ability to pull oneself out of tough situations. And it's already earned praise from The NeverEnding Story theme song's own (and fellow Reybee client) Limahl, who says:"I really like this—a little surreal, very melodic and with a video that has a classic early '80s vibe. The chorus asks, ‘Whoever wakes up?' — well, I just did, to The Ritualists!" Tracks on the album range from "King of Air," a surrealist reflection on feeling misunderstood, to "Every Thread," which juxtaposes cosmic insignificance with the universal pangs of love and envy. And of course, there's the title track, "Too Pure to Cure," which lead vocalist/songwriter Christian Dryden describes as less of a protest and more of a shoulder shrug—it's a declaration of knowing who you are and refusing to be “cured” of it. The Ritualists are Christian Dryden (vocals, bass), Jeffrey Andrew (keyboards), David Andreana (guitars), and Eric Kuby (drums). Too Pure To Cure is available on all streaming platforms today. *****If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comUpcoming guests can be found: https://dmneedom.com/upcoming-guest Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

Welcome to another dreary Thursday with clouds in the forecast and a high of just 50°. Thankfully, it's Friday tomorrow! Kicked things off with some good news for once…as it appears the two-month search for Sophia Franklin has come to an end after she was reportedly found safe! In other news, a UW-Eau Claire faculty member who was involved in an on-campus incident earlier this week has now stepped down as the Chair of the Pablo Confluence Board. Also, voter turnout in La Crosse was rather high for this week's elections, the Marshfield Clinic is once again asking for your ticks, and Jean Claude Van-Damme has been accused of sex trafficking. In sports, the Brewers got a walk-off bunt victory over the Royals yesterday, Alexander Ovechkin scored his 892nd career goal last night to pull within two of tying Gretzky's record, and March Madness fires back up tomorrow night & continues through the weekend. Elsewhere in sports, the Bucks are in Philly tonight to take on the 76ers, Carmelo Anthony is headed to the basketball Hall of Fame, Bucknell University is being sued by the parents of a deceased football player, the NBA is looking into Ja Morant's "finger-guns" gesture, and the Timberwolves are set to be sold to A-Rod & his investors. We talked to Office Cora this morning to see what's happening in the 715 this weekend, and we had another round of hypothetical questions for one another on "Hypothetical Thursday". Jean's question for Brian was: "If you could go back in time & correct something or undo something...what would it be?" Brian's questions for Jean was: "Make a rock & roll super group" Much like the river by the old Northside Shopko location, a small town in Minnesota is flooded with bald eagles right now, and a teen is being called a hero after saving a woman & two children from a house fire last week. A couple of interesting surveys about bathrooms, including the worst types of bathrooms to use while traveling, and whether or not major changes are coming to public restrooms. Do you always take your leftovers home from restaurants when you eat out? Apparently, 12% of people don't. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a former principal in #Florida who's been accused of hosting underage parties at his house, a guy who robbed a store with a machete, a #FloridaMan who got drunk on a beach and exposed himself, a mayor in North Dakota texting a video of himself whackin-off at work to the wrong person, and a toddler in England accidentally ate his grandfather's ashes.
