Een van Zwedens bekendste musici, Benny Andersson, maakte piano-arrangementen van zijn meest geliefde nummers. Zoals ABBA's The day before you came. Hierin beseft de hoofdpersoon dat ze werktuiglijk door het leven gaat, zonder ergens bij stil te staan. Pas als een groter doel in zicht komt, de grote liefde, realiseert ze zich dat het ook anders kan. Wil je meer Kalm met Klassiek?

In this episode of Half Hour, we take a deeper dive into the new Broadway revival of CHESS at the Imperial Theatre, examining how the latest book rewrites and the use of a narrator reshape the show's Cold War love triangle. We look at how the score by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus, and Tim Rice now sits alongside the revised scenes, asking whether the music and storytelling finally feel in sync. We discuss the overall production under director Michael Mayer, from the staging and design team to what's working in the casting, with particular attention to Nicholas Christopher's Anatoly and Hannah Cruz's Svetlana. Along the way, we raise the question of whether Broadway audiences are being dumbed down, dig into this revival's Tony chances, and wrap up with their “Half-Minute” segment, each highlighting one specific moment that stayed with us.

Andakterna den här veckan hålls av prästen och psykoterapeuten Albin Tanke från Malmö. Veckans tema är Livets källa. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Ur andakten:”Var kommer jag ifrån och vart är jag på väg?” Sådana tankar har jag grubblat mycket på genom åren. ”Varför finns universum? Vem är Gud? Varför finns det överhuvudtaget liv?”Vissa tider har grubblerierna varit mer intensiva, andra tider har de knappt funnits alls. Men visst ligger de där i bakgrunden och utgör en slags fond till livet. Plötsligt så snurrar de upp för mig på nytt: ”Varför finns just jag? Varför blev jag inte någon annan?” Och så vidare.Någon gång har jag delat några av de här tankarna och frågeställningarna med mina vänner. Och då har de sagt: ”Men sluta grubbla sådär”, ”slappna av och lev”. Kanske har de rätt? Ibland låter jag tankarna slå knut på mig själv. Det är lite grann som att inte se skogen för alla träd. Att konstruera grubblerier som inte leder till nyfikenhet, kunskap eller kreativitet utan istället håller tillbaka och kanske till och med ger bränsle åt rädslan – nä, det vill jag ju inte fastna i.Såklart avspeglar dessa tankar också hur jag ibland tänker om Gud. Tankar som gör Gud till något främmande. Som om Gud är ett objekt som jag på distans måste förhålla mig till. Något som jag måste parera eller på olika sätt hitta till eller kanske till och med försöka uppnå? Som om jag är här och Gud är där – och kontakten mellan oss sval och kravfylld, tyngd, distanserad eller helt enkelt bara väldigt svåruppkopplad.Text:Apostlagärningarna 17:27-28Musik:The day before you came av Björn Ulvaeus och Benny Andersson med Benny AnderssonProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

Andakterna den här veckan hålls av prästen och psykoterapeuten Albin Tanke från Malmö. Veckans tema är Livets källa. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Ur andakten:”Berätta för mig hur du har det?” – Denna mening kan öppna liv. Att någon av hjärtat vill höra vad jag har att säga, särskilt när livet är svårt – att få uttrycka sig och bli lyssnad på –det är något av det största.Jag vet inte hur många gånger jag har burit på svåra tankar och gått ältat på jobbiga problem. Och när jag har fått möjlighet att berätta – att beskriva vad jag tänker på – så kommer en befrielses kraft över mig. Det tar kanske inte bort själva problemet, det ger inte några snabba lösningar. Men själva delandet avlastar. Formulerandet skapar någon slags ordning som ger perspektiv. Det är något i berättandet som öppnar sig. Och det sker emellan oss, mellan berättaren och lyssnaren. Det öppnar för Guds skapande kraft.Text:Romarbrevet 12:15Musik:The day before you came av Björn Ulvaeus och Benny Andersson med Benny AnderssonProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

Andakterna den här veckan hålls av prästen och psykoterapeuten Albin Tanke från Malmö. Veckans tema är Livets källa. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Ur andakten:Precis som våra kroppar behöver fysiskt vatten för att överleva, behöver våra själar en andlig källa för att finna mening, riktning och levande liv. Gud beskrivs ofta som denna urkälla, alltings ursprung och mål, ja källan till allt liv. I en värld fylld av stress, osäkerhet och strävan efter snabb tillfredsställelse på olika sätt kan vi lätt känna oss uttorkade och trötta. Kanske sätter jag hela min lit till att söka lyckan istället för att öppna för mening? Kanske får jag för mig att det går att söka tröst genom jobb och karriär eller genom materiella ting, istället för gemenskap och att låta relationer djupna? När tillvaron instrumentaliseras för mina begär istället för att se mina verkliga behov urholkas själen lätt. Och det lämnar mig mycket törstigare än förut. Jesus använde bilden av levande vatten när han talade med kvinnan vid Sykars brunn. Han erbjöd henne ett vatten som skulle bli en källa inom henne och som aldrig skulle göra henne törstig igen. Detta ”levande vatten” är en bild av den Heliga Andens kraft i våra liv.

Andakterna den här veckan hålls av prästen och psykoterapeuten Albin Tanke från Malmö. Veckans tema är Livets källa. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Ur andakten:Livet är inte alltid fyllt av glädje, kreativitet och skaparkraft. Plötsligt känner jag hur tomheten har blivit allt större och min glädje och längtan, ja, jag vet inte riktigt vart den har tagit vägen? Jag gör ungefär det jag brukar, vardagen rullar på, men det känns stumt på något sätt – som om riktningen inte riktigt vet vart den ska vända sig i mitt inre.Kanske känner du det också så ibland? Jag funderar på om min själ kanske inte riktigt har fått tillräckligt med näring på det senaste? Kanske ligger utmattningen där och lurar om hörnet?Våra själar är som en jordmån. Precis som fysisk jord behöver vatten för att ge liv och ge möjlighet för kornen att gro, träden att skjuta sina skott och öppna för möjlighet till frukt, så behöver också våra inre liv näring för att vi ska kunna växa i tro och kärlek. Bibeln använder ofta bilden av vatten som en symbol för liv, växtkraft och för Guds Ande. Kanske har jag glömt att tillåta min själs jord att bli vattnad med Guds levande vatten?Text:Jesaja 58:11Musik:The day before you came av Björn Ulvaeus och Benny Andersson med Benny AnderssonProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

Andakterna den här veckan hålls av prästen och psykoterapeuten Albin Tanke i Malmö. Temat är livets källa. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Ur andakten:För en tid sedan blev jag inbjuden till en skola. Lärarna sa att eleverna hade så många frågor om Gud och att det nog var bäst att de bjöd in mig så att de fick ställa alla sina frågor till en präst. Det första jag tänkte i mitt stilla sinne var, men hur i all världen ska jag kunna svara på det? Hur ska jag med ett enkelt svar säga något om det största – det som inte med ord går att uttrycka? Men så tänkte jag, att visst, jag har ju en massa erfarenheter av det jag kallar gudsrelation och jag har många år bakom mig av möten med olika människor som på livets väg använt olika språkbruk, bilder och andra uttryck för att kunna tala, beskriva och fördjupa detta mysterium som vi kallar Gud – Så jag bestämde mig för att göra som lärarna föreslog – jag gick till skolan och beredde mig på att möta mellanstadieklassen alla frågor.Text:Jesaja 41:10Musik:The day before you came av Björn Ulvaeus och Benny Andersson med Benny AnderssonProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

In this episode we're joined by Pete Paphides, former rock critic for the London Times and author of 2020's acclaimed memoir Broken Greek. We start with our guest's unique "'Starman' moment" – seeing the Brotherhood of Man lip-sync to the ghastly 'Save Your Kisses for Me' on Top of the Pops in 1976 – and then plunge straight into a celebration of his favourite pop group ABBA. We hear about his love of the Swedes' countless classic songs; his interviews with Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson; and how the quartet was indirectly responsible for his marriage to fellow scribe Caitlin Moran. Pete talks us through his journalistic odyssey from ill-fated pubescent fanzine Pop Scene via the longer-lasting Perturbed to Jim Arundel's mentoring of him at Melody Maker. Talk of his tenures at Time Out and The Times leads to his memory of "falling back in love with music" after years of being glutted with free records. The 60th anniversary of the release of 'Uptight' takes us into clips from Amy Linden's 1995 audio interview with the musical colossus that is Stevie Wonder – and a broad discussion of the Motown legend's creative evolution from 'Uptight' to Songs in the Key of Life. After Mark quotes from a 1963 review of the Beatles' first album Please Please Me, Jasper talks us out with his thoughts on Jaan Uhelszki's 2015 interview with the extraordinary Joanna Newsom.

Go behind the music and uncover the secrets of one of the world's most iconic supergroups. In this episode, award-winning Swedish music journalist Jan Gradvall joins us to reveal The Story of ABBA, drawing from his new book, "The Story of ABBA: Melancholy Undercover." We explore the fascinating human drama, the cultural clashes, and the surprising musical genius that propelled a band from Sweden to global domination. What is the shocking truth behind their happiest songs? Jan Gradvall, who has interviewed all four members, pulls back the curtain on the legends.From their formation as two couples who stumbled into a magical sound, to their complex journey through the pop world, this is The Story of ABBA as you've never heard it before. We start with their detailed ABBA Eurovision History, from the 1973 competition they lost in Sweden with "Ring Ring" to their game-changing 1974 victory with "Waterloo"—a glam-rock-infused pop track that broke the mold. Jan explains how the band faced intense opposition from the ABBA Progg Movement, a left-wing cultural force in Sweden that despised their commercial, capitalist sound and questioned their art. This deep dive uncovers the core of their unique sound, a concept Benny Andersson calls "Melancholy Undercover." Learn how the long, dark Scandinavian winters infused their music with a deep Swedish Melancholy in Music, creating a bittersweet feeling even in their most upbeat anthems, a sound rooted in Swedish folk traditions and Benny's accordion.Beyond the cultural context, we explore the incredible and often overlooked talent of Agnetha Fältskog, musician. While many focused on her looks, Agnetha was the only member who could read music, an accomplished classical piano player, and a prolific songwriter in her own right. Jan Gradvall shares insights from his personal interviews with all four members, revealing why Björn Ulvaeus can't remember being on tour and how the rhythm for "Take a Chance on Me" came from the sound of him jogging. We discuss how the band never officially broke up, the 90s revival sparked by the gay community and artists like Kurt Cobain, and the origins of global phenomena like the musical Chess and the stage and film sensation Mamma Mia. This is the definitive inside look at the band's journey, their conflicts, their creative process, and how they became more popular today than ever before.ABOUT OUR GUEST:Jan Gradvall is an award-winning writer and one of Sweden's most respected music journalists. With over 40 years of experience, he has cultivated a close journalistic relationship with ABBA, having been the first journalist to conduct in-depth interviews with all four members for a single story. He is also an instrumental founder of the Swedish Music Hall of Fame. His book, "The Story of ABBA: Melancholy Undercover," is built on his decades of work and unique access to the band.TIMESTAMPS / CHAPTERS:(00:00) Introduction to ABBA's Hidden Story(02:09) ABBA's Eurovision History: From 'Ring Ring' to 'Waterloo'(07:30) Clashing with the Culture: ABBA vs. Sweden's 'Progg' Movement(10:26) Before the Supergroup: ABBA's Roots in Swedish Folk and Rock(12:44) Melancholy Undercover: The Swedish Soul of ABBA's Music(14:43) Decoding 'Tourist English': The Charm of ABBA's Lyrical Style(16:50) More Than an Image: The Overlooked Musical Talents of Agnetha Fältskog(30:09) A Hiatus, Not a Breakup: ABBA's Unofficial Split and 90s Revival(34:55) The Mamma Mia Phenomenon: From a Daring Idea to a Global Sensation(40:39) The Enduring Legacy: The ABBA Museum and the 'ABBA Voyage' ExperienceGet Jan Gradvall's Book, "The Story of ABBA: Melancholy Undercover":  https://amzn.to/46M3Qpn

I Gudstjänsten idag hör du texter av Joanna Kölsch, präst i Askims församling i Göteborg. I olika betraktelser reflekterar Joanna kring trons olika skepnader. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Det blir en lite annorlunda gudstjänst uppbyggd kring andakter som Joanna höll i Andakten i P1 tidigare i juni. Det ska handla om livet här och nu och hoppet i det svåra. Bibeltexter och Johannas egna texter, vävs samman med musik av och med Benny Andersson från skivan Piano. Ur gudstjänsten:Ligger på en brygga, min sommarkyrka. Björkarna och ekarnas kronor spelar sin sommarpsalm för mig. Mälarens vita gäss springer över vattenytan med vita sommarkjolar som far i vinden. Min turkosa baddräkt torkar på bryggan. Vassen böjer sina huvuden i blåsten. Min själ ler.Himmelriket är kärlek på jorden, kärlek mellan människorna, mellan länderna, mellan världsdelarna, på arbetsplatserna, kyrkorna och i familjerna. Men det är inte lätt. Att lyssna, att vilja förstå, att försöka älska fast vi känner oss hotade, när våra trygga röster bryts för att vi måste ta in ngt nytt som hotar vårt mönster, vår bekvämlighet.Texter:Luk 24:28-31Pred 3:1-8Luk 2:8-11Joh 21:15-18En textrad ur Gläntan av Tomas Tranströmerur Psalm 808, text av Py Bäckmanur Psalm 96ur Psalm Härlig är jordenMusik:Samtlig musik framförd av Benny Andersson utom Härlig är jorden.Tröstevisa av Benny AnderssonMidnattsdans av Benny AnderssonChess av Benny Andersson & Björn UlvaeusHärlig är jorden/Dejlig Er Jorden med Tine Thing Helseth & Norska Kammarorkestern & Elise Båtnes & Christian Kjos Trad Från SchlesienMålarskolan av Benny AnderssonEmbassy Lament av Benny Andersson & Björn UlvaeusEfter Regnet av Benny AnderssonYou and I av Benny Andersson & Björn UlvaeusProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

Through exclusive interviews and over a decade of deep research, renowned music journalist Jan Gradvall explores the secrets to ABBA's success. There has never been a group like ABBA. More than half a century after their songs were recorded, ABBA still make people the world over dance and sing their hearts out. In 2013, when the band had not been interviewed for over thirty years, Jan Gradvall was granted unique access to them for the next decade and the result is The Story of ABBA: Melancholy Undercover. Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad all share their personal stories, their thoughts and their opinions about ABBA's music more openly than ever before. Weaving in and out of their story, well-known international music critic Jan Gradvall reveals the context in which their unique sound developed and shows how the story of ABBA is also the story of Sweden and the globalization of pop culture. From their earliest hits in Sweden like "People Need Love" and "Ring, Ring" to their chart-topping international hits like "Dancing Queen," "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" and "Mama Mia!" to ABBA Voyage - their first album in forty years - and the two-million-ticket-selling eponymous concert-experience in London, it is undeniable that, in the history of pop culture and music, there has never been a group like ABBA. With remarkable intimacy, Gradvall's sensational book brings readers closer than ever to one of the world's most notoriously private groups.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Kanske har du sett Edvin Bredefeldt skådespela. T ex i rollen som Benny Andersson i filmen om Ted Gärdestad. Eller i tv-serierna Top dog och Knutby, eller i två Beck-filmer. Han bor i Kalmar och tillhör också den fasta ensemblen på Byteatern Kalmar länsteater.Dessutom är han kock och gästspelar med sin kebabgrill på olika restauranger sedan flera år.– Jag är väldigt svag för alla former av kött i bröd. Bahn mi, hamburgare, bao buns, taco.– Jag älskar kebab och har alltid gjort det.Att det blev fokus på kebab handlar om en förkärlek för de smakerna: persilja, citron, tahini.Som turnerande skådespelare har han noterat att kebab finns över hela Sverige, också på mindre orter.Alla kebaber Edvin ätit har med tiden blivit till de optimala recepten, som nu hamnat i hans bok Kebab — gör det själv. Som det kycklingrecept han lagar i programmet. Med ett enkelt kryddsalt. Med kycklinglårfilé som marinerats i yoghurt och steks i en stekpanna. Och sedan servas med en tahini- och yoghurtsås, couscoussallad och bröd.I framtiden vill Edvin Bredefeldt kombinera skådespelandet med professionellt matlagande i någon form, kanske en egen restaurang.

The Swedish hit-makers ABBA changed pop music as we know it: they sent 20 songs to the Billboard Hot 100 and turned the world onto Europop. But there is some lesser-known music by the people behind ABBA. Back in 1995, Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA wrote a musical called “Kristina.” It tells the story of Swedes who found their way to Minnesota territory in the mid-18th century.In 1996, Benny and Björn came to Minnesota, where Kristina made its American premiere. Now it will be back on the stage nearly 30 years later. VocalEssence will open its 56th season with a concert performance of Kristina on Oct. 26.ABBA's Benny Andersson joined Minnesota Now from Sweden in an exclusive interview with VocalEssence director Philip Brunelle.

Aujourdʹhui en écoutant Travelling, cʹest certain, vous allez chanter et danser, vous ne pourrez pas vous en empêcher. Car cʹest Abba que nous vous proposons : leur vie, leur œuvre, leurs chansons, et un film : Mamma Mia ! de Phyllida Lloyd sorti en 2008. Film à succès au box-office, boudé néanmoins par la critique, récoltant plus de 615 millions de dollars à travers le monde, cette comédie musicale romantique est un véritable phénomène de société. Cʹest bien simple, une fois quʹon y a goûté, on y revient, et on le regarde en famille, entre amis et amies, et on se le repasse quand on a un petit coup de mou. Des plus vieux au plus jeunes, le rythme, les chorégraphies, et la musique dʹAbba emportent joyeusement tout le monde. Et ce nʹest pas grave si cʹest kitch ou si lʹintrigue est vraiment téléphonée. Porté par Meryl Streep principalement, une actrice qui a toujours su chanter et danser, lʹhistoire reprend la trame de la comédie musicale de Catherine Johnson, mise en scène au théâtre par Phyllida Lloyd. Tout se passe sur une île grecque idyllique, où vivent Donna Sheridan et sa fille Sophie. Cette dernière va se marier et a secrètement invité trois hommes dont elle soupçonne que lʹun dʹeux est son père. Imbroglio, révélation de secrets, histoires dʹamour à tiroir, amitié, décor de rêve, et chansons dʹAbba, tout est réuni pour que ça cartonne. Le casting est royal : Meryl Streep on vous lʹa dit, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård et jʹen passe. Il y a même Benny Andersson et Björn Ulvaeus, les deux messieurs dʹAbba, qui font une apparition. Mais je ne vais pas vous faire languir plus longtemps. Nous avons pour parler de Mamma Mia ! des documentaires, des archives, des interviews, des extraits et bien entendu la musique, celle dʹAbba, chantée par le groupe, mais également la musique du film chantée par les actrices et les acteurs. Préparez-vous : Donna vient de se rendre compte que ses trois anciens amants sont cachés dans lʹétable qui jouxte son hôtel. Mamma Mia ! Les retrouvailles et les explications qui vont avec vont être au cœur du film.

Für Napoleon war Waterloo eine herbe Niederlage. Beim Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson war der Song "Waterloo" von ABBA ein absoluter Erfolg. Wir sprechen in unserem SWR1 Meilensteine Podcast über das gleichnamige Album der schwedischen Popsensation ABBA. 1974 war ein sensationelles Jahr für Pop- und Rockfans: Joni Mitchell hat ihr legendäres "Court And Spark" Album rausgebracht, Supertramp schenkten uns ihr "Crime of the Century", Steely Dan waren kulinarisch verdreht unterwegs mit "Pretzel Logic" und im März veröffentlichten ABBA das Album, das ihnen den internationalen Durchbruch verschaffen sollte: "Waterloo". Für die vier Schweden und Schwedinnen sollte das Album der Beginn ihrer internationalen Karriere werden, nicht nur wegen des Hits "Waterloo", mit dem sie 1974 den Eurovision Song Contest gewannen. Etwas Reggae, Glamrock und noch ganz viel mehr – für SWR1-Musikredakteur Niels Berkefeld ist "Waterloo" ein Abbild der kompletten musikalischen Bandbreite der 1970er-Jahre und es ist natürlich auch ein historischer Moment in der Geschichte des Eurovision Song Contest. "Da sehen wir einen ungeschliffenen Rohdiamant, den Beginn einer Weltkarriere und das Suchen und Finden des zukünftigen Sounds dieser Gruppe", sagt SWR1-Musikredakteur Niels Berkefeld. Benny und Björn von ABBA haben auf diesem Album musikalisch ganz viel ausprobiert, um den perfekten Sound für die Gruppe zu finden. Das merkt man eben auch an dem genre-technischen Gemischtwarenladen auf dem Album. Bevor Benny, Björn, Agnetha und Anni-Frid sich 1972 als ABBA zusammenschlossen, hatten alle vier eigene Musikkarrieren. Benny und Björn taten sich als erste zusammen und hatten in Japan schon einen Hit mit "She's My Kind of Girl". Der Song war allerdings als Titelsong eines schwedischen Erotikfilms bekannt und die Band damit leicht in die Schmuddelecke gedrängt worden. Als die finale Bandbesetzung abgeschlossen war, versuchte die Band das unliebsame Image durch die Teilnahme am ESC loszuwerden. Das klappte allerdings nicht auf Anhieb. Mit ihrem Song "Ring Ring" sind ABBA dann 1973 im schwedischen Vorentscheid nur auf Platz drei gelandet. Ein Jahr später, 1974 klappte es dann im zweiten Anlauf. ABBA gewannen nicht nur den schwedischen Vorentscheid, sondern auch den ESC in Brighton mit "Waterloo". Neben den tollen Kompositionen von Benny Andersson und Björn Ulvaeus, die in einigen Songs an den frühen deutschen Schlager erinnern, ist das Besondere an der Musik von ABBA auch das Zusammenspiel der beiden Stimmen von Agnetha und Anni-Frid. ABBA sind auch heute noch eine riesige Marketingmaschine, die auch durch das sehr saubere Image der vier Künstler sehr gut funktioniert hat – wobei vor allem Anni-Frid und Agnetha natürlich trotzdem als sexy inszeniert worden sind. Harmonie war das große Aushängeschild der Band. Es gab keine Skandale rund um Alkohol, Sex oder Drogen. Und während andere Musiker sich – damals wie heute – noch als Singles präsentierten, um bei den Fans die Träume einer Liebesbeziehung zum angehimmelten Star zumindest theoretisch am Leben erhalten wurden, wurde bei ABBA die heile Beziehungswelt propagiert. Probleme gab es in der ABBA-Welt nicht. Neben der Musik und den Erfolgen, die ABBA der Welt hinterlassen haben, gibt es noch ein Erbe, dass SWR1-Musikredakteur Dave Jörg im Podcast zu "Waterloo" hervorheben möchte: "Egal, wo die ABBA Songs laufen: [...] Das zaubert den Leuten ein Lächeln und Freude ins Gesicht und ins Herz. Und das hat 50 Jahre nach "Waterloo" niemals aufgehört." __________ Über diese Songs vom Album “Waterloo” wird im Podcast gesprochen (08:52) – "Waterloo" (23:40) – "Hasta Manana" (46:41) – "Honey, Honey" (51:56) – "Watch Out" (53:58) – "Sitting in the Palmtree" (54:34) – "King Kong Song" (55:52) – "Gonna Sing You My Lovesong" (59:08) – "Dance (While The Music Still Goes On)" __________ Über diese Songs wird außerdem im Podcast gesprochen (09:50) – "People Need Love" von ABBA (10:49) – "She's My Kind of Girl" von ABBA (13:04) – "Ring Ring" von ABBA (28:51) – "Maid of Orleans" von OMD (30:55) – "We'll Meet Again" von Vera Lynn (34:55) – "Hasta Manana" von Lena Andersson __________ Shownotes Liste der Meilensteine Folgen von 1 - 250: https://www.swr.de/swr1/rp/meilensteine/meilensteine-liste-top-250-100.pdf Artikel und Bildergalerie zum ESC 1974 in Brighton: https://www.eurovision.de/geschichte/1974-Eurovision-Song-Contest-in-Brighton,brighton107.html Bandbio von ABBA: https://www.eurovision.de/teilnehmer/Abba-Biografie-der-ESC-Sieger-von-1974,abba121.html ABBA beim "Eurovision Song Contest": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe40P8qzQh4  Ausschnitt aus dem Musikladen Interview 1976: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWwsnyFqPts ABBA-Auftritt beim Musikladen Extra 1976: https://www.youtube.com/@Musikladen1972/search?query=ABBA SWR1 "80er Podcast" zu ABBA: https://www.swr.de/swr1/rp/programm/die-80er-der-musikpodcast-abba-in-den-80ern-100.html Die Metronome Studios in Stockholm – heute und historisch: https://atlantisstudios.se/ SWR1 Meilensteine Folge zu "Court and Spark": https://ardaudiothek.de/episode/swr1-meilensteine/joni-mitchell-court-and-spark/swr1/13068215/ SWR1 Meilensteine Folge zu "Pretzel Logic": https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/swr1-meilensteine/steely-dan-pretzel-logic/swr1/13163881/ SWR1 Meilensteine Folge zu "The Wall": https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/swr1-meilensteine/pink-floyd-the-wall/swr1/10457315/ Podcast-Tipp: "Lisas Paarschitt" in der ARD-Audiothek: Podcast-Tipp: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/lisas-paarschitt-der-beziehungs-podcast-mit-lisa-ortgies/94669398/ __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

The technology is now sophisticated enough to create entirely new deepfake songs. This year, millions of fake covers, and songs that clone the voices of musical artists, have appeared online. The FT's pop critic Ludo Hunter-Tilney has fallen down a wormhole to make sense of how these programs work. He actually made a song of his own, an original fake song in the style of Tom Waits.

Welcome to the middle of the second British Invasion!  John Howard Jones was born in Southampton, in southern England to Welsh parents.  He grew up in Wales, moved to Canada when he was a teenager, and returned to the UK in the mid 70's where he attended the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester.  The was the oldest of four boys, all of which became musicians, and started piano at the age of 7.  Dream Into Action is Howard Jones' second studio album, and was released in this month.  It went to number 10 on the Billboard 200, and number 2 on the UK albums chart.  Rupert Hine was the producer, who also produced albums for Rush.  Howard's brother Martin Jones plays bass on this album, and he has the group Afrodiziak as backing vocals on a number of tracks.  Jones had a successful debut release in 1984 called "Human Lib," and "Dream Into Action" would be an even bigger hit.  Howard Jones has a piano and keyboards-driven sound, and his lyrics are quite positive.  Jones believes that his positivity and depth tends to create a negative perception in the media, stating that "what's 'cool' is often very shallow and transient." Jones is still putting out albums today.  He released an album called Transform in 2019, and one called Dialogue in 20222.Bruce brings this synth-heavy 80's album to the podcast. Like to Get to Know You WellThis track preceded the album by over six months.  It came out as a single in August of 1984 as the Summer Olympics were kicking off in Los Angeles, and was dedicated to "the original spirit of the Olympic Games."  It was included in a remix album called "the 12" Album" in November 1984 before being included in this studio album.Assault and BatteryThis is a deeper cut which was played on an episode of Miami Vice.  The lyrics are about the horrors of eating meat - Jones was a vegetarian at the time, and is a vegan today.  This songs reminds us of Styx and Elton John with the keyboard work.  Life In One DayThe third single from the album (or fourth, depending upon how you count "Like to Get to Know You Well") went to number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The lyrics are about not rushing through life, but taking time to enjoy the place where you are.  The British vocal group Afrodiziak can be heard contributing backing vocals to this song. Things Can Only Get BetterThe first single from the album is the big hit.  It went to number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Afrodiziak contributes backing vocals to this track as well.  It is a very deliberately positive song, encouraging the listener who is down on his luck to keep going, and to keep looking for better days ahead. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme to the from the television series "Moonlighting" by Al JarreauBruce Willis launched his career in this detective romance comedy that starred Willis and Cybill Shepherd. STAFF PICKS:Don't Come Around Here No More by Tom Petty & the HeartbreakersRob features a song written by Tom Petty and Dave Stewart (from the Eurythmics).  This was the main hit from the sixth studio album "Southern Accents."  It is a break-up song partially inspired by a conversation Stewart overheard between Joe Walsh and Stevie Nicks.  The Alice In Wonderland-themed video is a must-see.We Are the World by U.S.A. for AfricaLynch brings us the ultimate supergroup.  This was a benefit single for victims of famine in Africa, and raised over $60 million.  The song was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, and Quincey Jones produced it.  Musicians appearing in the band were a veritable "who's who" in the music world, including performers as diverse as Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, Steve Perry, and Ray Charles.White Lies by Jason & the Scorchers Wayne's staff pick is off the group's first full length album, "Lost and Found."  Jason & the Scorchers' high energy and country twang led them to be described as "cowpunk."  The lyrics describe a couple in a bad relationship.  "Take these chains and set me free, release me from this misery.  Now, don't you waste my time with your alibis 'cause your heart can't hide what I see in your eyes."One Night in Bangkok by Murray HeadBruce goes to the theater for his staff pick.  This song is from a concept album and musical called "Chess," written by Benny Andersson and  Bjorn Ulvaeus (formerly of ABBA).  The musical is about a Cold War-era chess tournament between two grandmasters, one American and one Soviet.  Murray Head performs the spoken verse and Anders Glenmark sings the chorus. COMEDY TRACK:I'm Kissin' You Goodbye by Ray StevensWe finish up this week's podcast with a break-up song in a style only Ray Stevens can deliver.

ABBA Scholar and author of 8 (!!!!) books on ABBA, Carl Magnus Palm, joins DJ Louie for an epic deep dive into the Swedish pop legends. First, Louie and Carl discuss the history of pop and "schlager" in Sweden and how the country's musical traditions helped form ABBA's music before tracing the pre-ABBA careers of the four members, Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, through the 1960s and how the group came together in the early 1970s, both as bandmates and romantic couples. Louie and Carl then break down how the "ABBA Sound" developed from the group's early recordings and their obsession with Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" and The Beach Boys' vocal-layering, ABBA's unique international ambitions, how the glam-rock nodding, Eurovision-winning "Waterloo" changed their career, the ways they continued to refine and expand their singular aesthetic on subsequent hits like "Mamma Mia" and "SOS", the darker and more wistful lyrical themes that began to surface on mid-period hits like "Fernando", the majestic ebullience of "Dancing Queen", their canny techniques for incorporating numerous pop subgenres into their work without ever losing their essential ABBA-ness, the powerful interplay of light and dark in their work, how the dissolution of the group's two romantic couples informed their more emotionally-complex latter period hits like "The Name of the Game" and "The Winner Takes It All", how the band came apart in the early 1980s, and how their legacy has evolved and changed over the last 40 years thanks to their greatest hits album ABBA Gold and the jukebox musical and film, Mamma Mia!.
