Nick Lowe is the unsung hero of the late-70s British music scene. As the legendary in-house producer for Stiff Records, he helped launch the punk and new wave movements, but on his 1979 solo album Labour of Lust, he perfected his own blend of infectious, hook-heavy power pop. Backed by the pub-rock supergroup Rockpile, Lowe delivered a slick, sneering, and endlessly catchy record. This week, the Random Album Generator spins the masterpiece that gave us "Cruel to Be Kind" and proved that "Basher" Lowe was a pop genius in his own right.Inside This Episode:Side A Reaction: We're splitting this 11-track classic right down the middle. If you're listening with us, hit pause after track six, "Skin Deep." Jeremy and Jon react to the bouncing, buoyant energy of the opening tracks and how Lowe seamlessly blends 1960s pop sensibilities with a punk-rock attitude.5 Fast Facts: We uncover the wild story behind the "two albums recorded at once" studio sessions, the hidden cameos by Elvis Costello and Huey Lewis, and the bizarre tracklist switch-ups between the UK and US releases.Side B & Final Thoughts: We flip to Side B and discuss the back half of the record, diving into whether Lowe's tongue-in-cheek humor and clever wordplay overshadow the genuine musical chops on display.The Verdict & Standout Tracks: Jeremy and Jon lock in their 3 essential tracks. Is this the definitive power-pop album of the 1970s?Join the Polyphonic Press Community: Love collecting classic vinyl or have a definitive pressing of Stand! you want to talk about?

Newt talks with Dr. Gad Saad, a scholar at the Declaration of Independence Center for the Study of American Freedom at the University of Mississippi and professor of marketing at Concordia University. His new book, “Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind,” is a number one New York Times nonfiction bestseller. Dr. Saad argues that empathy is vital but must be properly calibrated; too little empathy risks psychopathy, while “hyperactive empathy” misdirected toward the wrong targets becomes “suicidal empathy,” which he believes underlies many domestic and foreign policy failures. Dr. Saad links “Suicidal Empathy” to his earlier book “The Parasitic Mind,” arguing that human decision-making is shaped by both cognitive and affective systems. He claims that just as minds can be infected by ideological brainworms, they can also be captured by dysregulated empathy, allowing activists and policymakers to hijack emotional responses and override critical thinking. Dr. Saad dates the roots of today’s academic and cultural crises to “parasitic ideas” incubated in universities 50–100 years ago, including cultural relativism and postmodernism.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Understanding the Adrenaline HangoverWhen you experience a panic attack, your system is flooded with adrenaline and cortisol. Even after the "threat" is gone, these chemicals take time to clear, often leaving you feeling emotionally grey, achy, or tearful.

Eat something small and nourishing—like a banana or a handful of nuts—to give your body the fuel it needs to finish the "clean-up".Don't Analyze It Yet: Avoid the urge to replay or "fix" the event immediately.

The West is dying to be kind. Dr. Gad Saad joins Erick Stakelbeck to expose the dangerous ideology behind his explosive new book, Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind—and why America and the West are destroying themselves in the name of compassion. From anti-Semitism and open borders to radical gender ideology, Islamist migration, socialism, and the collapse of common sense, Dr. Saad warns that the West is being infected by “parasitic ideas” that lead not to kindness—but to civilizational suicide.   As a Lebanese-born immigrant who fled chaos and found freedom in the West, Dr. Saad brings a powerful warning: America is not the default setting of history.    Freedom is rare. Civilization is fragile. And if we don't fight for it, we can lose it. This is a clarion call for courage, truth, and moral sanity in an age of madness. Learn more about your ad choices.

When a panic attack hits, the hardest thing in the world is to believe it will pass. Your heart is racing, your chest feels tight, and your brain is screaming danger. But I want you to hear me clearly: It will pass. It always passes.In this 10-minute episode, we break down the physiology of panic and use a simple, clinically proven breathing reset to step on your nervous system's brake pedal.

If you are in the middle of a panic attack right now, or carrying the heavy dread of the next one, take a deep breath and stay right here. You are not in danger—you are experiencing a temporary shift in chemistry, and chemistry is something we can absolutely work with. In today's episode of Calming Anxiety, we dive into a powerful, physiologically proven breathing technique designed to physically press the pause button on your panic response. By adding a simple "micro-sip" of air to the top of your inhalation, you will learn how to deeply activate your vagus nerve and signal to your entire nervous system that you are completely safe. No mindset tricks here—just pure biology utilized to bring your body back to a steady, peaceful rhythm. Support the Show & Join Our Community

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of Mark Levin on Memorial Day. Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner is a profoundly disturbed individual whom Democrats refuse to disavow because they prioritize power above all else. Platner, who's a self-described Communist, trashes American troops and police and he must be stopped from reaching the Senate. Then there's a woman running in the Democrat primary for Texas's 35th congressional district who advocated placing Zionists in concentration camps and worse. Jewish elected Democrats need to leave this party, which is now the party of Islamists, Marxists, and neo-Nazis. Also, WABC's John Catsimatidis calls in to discuss the difficulties of running supermarkets in NYC and the proposal by Mayor Mamdani for city government-run grocery stores. He argued that government stores giving away these products would take sales from private businesses, harming the workers who labor 70-80 hours a week and ultimately burdening taxpayers when the city absorbs the losses, while politicians face no consequences. Later, a history lesson on the electoral college. Afterward, callers weigh in on and express their desire for the Iranian regime to be defeated!  Finally, Gad Saad calls in to discuss his new book - Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind. This book is not an attack on empathy itself—an evolutionarily relevant virtue rooted in theory of mind or cognitive empathy that enables good human interactions—but rather a warning against its hyper-firing in the wrong situations toward the wrong targets. This critique of maladaptively irrational altruism has gripped our culture. This mind parasite hijacked the empathy module of our progressive elite, leading to a catastrophic miscalibration of moral priorities. Learn more about your ad choices.

Gad Saad returns to discuss his new book Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind, a provocative argument that empathy is not a moral trump card. Empathy can illuminate suffering, but it can also distort judgment when it is treated as an unquestionable virtue, applied selectively, or insulated from consequences. Saad's central claim is that many Western institutions have learned to treat compassion as a substitute for judgment. In practice, he argues, this can mean extending sympathy toward the wrong targets (for example, criminals over victims), excusing destructive behavior, rewarding ideological conformity over truth, or denying uncomfortable facts in the name of kindness. The result is a moral framework that feels humane in the moment but can produce outcomes that are unfair, irrational, or even dangerous. The conversation covers cultural relativism, islamism, suicide cults, kamikaze pilots, immigration and foreign aid, forbidden knowledge, and why some ideas spread and take hold while others fade away. Gad Saad is a professor and an evolutionary behavioral scientist. He has authored numerous scientific papers and pioneered the use of evolutionary psychology in marketing and consumer behavior. In addition to his scientific work, he often writes and speaks about idea pathogens that are destroying logic, science, reason, and common sense. He is the host of The Saad Truth podcast. His new book is Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind.

Trump et al., a lawsuit that enforces the Taylor Force Act and ends U.S. funding of the Palestinian Authority's “Pay to Slay” program. This agreement is a durable enforcement of federal law that honors victims, prevents taxpayer subsidization of terror, and advances President Trump's commitment to peace.

Do you feel sometimes that, because you have a mental illness that you are not allowed to be angry- ever?So many times, I have been dismissed for being angry or upset because people know about my issues.If i do get angry, I'm told that I need to be mindful and that it's my issue. Those around me are able to dismiss my emotions as being unreasonable or 'just his PTSD'.In doing so they can excuse their own bad behaviors and take no responsibility for what they've said and done.▶ WATCH MORE VIDEOS…✅ Cop it Sweet & Hope to Die- Living Deyond Grief- Todd McGuire | Mark MI Words

American folk singer-songwriter Annahstasia's music career blossomed since the day she got kicked out of her teenage choir. Her voice didn't blend homogenously with others, as it always meant to stand out. Today, with her soulful contralto register, she often gets compared to the greats like Nina Simone, Tracy Chapman, and Sade. But the way she utilizes her voice and songwriting melds a distinct brand of her own.  As a storyteller, Annahstasia doesn't worry too much about predictable song structures with repeatable sections. Instead, she invites her collaborators and listeners into her safe space to participate as a communal sonic atmosphere begins to take shape. Like an “energy doula”, she approaches the dynamics in her music with the utmost care, birthing not only words and musical notes but also volumes of emotion. Sometimes, her melodies and harmonies are tethered so tightly to silence that you might miss them if you're not listening closely. Then, they burst out again, like a thunderstorm that came out of nowhere to grasp your attention and never let go. Offering an inimitable aural experience, Annahstasia performs a solo set at our Manhattan studios for this edition of Soundcheck, ahead of her sold-out four-night residency at Public Records in Brooklyn. Hear her latest anecdotes about her journey in the music industry and how she defends the art of live music recording in the age of bedroom pop productions. (- Sırma Munyar) Setlist: 1. Be Kind 2.

“Send Coach John a message”Simple, yet so very true. I found this one from Stoic Mindset (@StoikMonk) where this was simply said - “If you can't be kind, be quiet.”  This is probably one of the shortest, most accurate, best advice for many (including me at times)! These were my thoughts when I reposted this - Coach John Daly (@coachtosuccess) “100% on target … so many so-called “leaders” around the world need to take this to heart!!”  Just look at the news cycle every single day and you can see plenty of examples of people that really should just not say much, since they are always blaming others, calling others names, making fun of others, lying, etc. We also know people personally that this applies too as well. Just make sure it's not you.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

George Saunders is tired of being the “kindness guy.”Saunders is one of my favorite fiction writers, and a friend of the pod; I talked to him back in 2021 and 2022. He also has a reputation as a kind of guru of kindness, thanks to a viral commencement speech he gave back in 2013. We talked about kindness on the show before.But with the publication of his new novel, “Vigil,” I noticed that something about Saunders seemed to have shifted. He was pushing back against that public persona, and wrestling with darker themes.“Vigil” follows an oil tycoon who, on his deathbed, is visited by angels and people from his past asking him to reassess his life. And you can feel a tension in that book that is also very alive in Saunders himself — between recognizing how much of our lives are conditioned by our circumstances and the need to pass judgment to reckon with the truth.In this conversation, I discuss that tension with Saunders. I ask him about his relationship not just to kindness but also to anger; how he defines sin; whether he believes in free will; and what he thinks lies beyond kindness.This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:Vigil by George Saunders“What It Means to Be Kind in a Cruel World” by The Ezra Klein Show“George Saunders Convocation Speech 2013”“A Tough Question Indeed” by George SaundersEast West Street by Philippe Sands“When Is It Genocide?” by The Ezra Klein ShowBook Recommendations:I Will Bear Witness, Volume 1 by Victor KlempererRed Cavalry and Other Stories by Isaac BabelThe Place of Tides by James RebanksThoughts?
