Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.Where to begin...well, today's experience comes to us from our listener Sarah, who shares a lifelong haunting that begins with a disturbing childhood encounter in Manchester and follows her across years, homes, and continents. From an unsettling warning about being “born under the black star” to terrifying nocturnal phenomena, unexplained cold spots, shadow-like presences, and an encounter in her Toronto home that leaves physical evidence behind, this episode explores the frightening possibility that some hauntings are not attached to places, but to people.And when I say Sarah "Shared", I may be more on the nose than I'd like.Stay safe,Kevin.We're giving a full weeks trial of our Patreon away!

Bass Archaeology – Episode 14 - Sunshine Daze! Episode 14 of Bass Archaeology travels through deep soul, jazz-funk, conscious hip-hop, electro, house and jungle to uncover how bass music evolved from warm analogue musicianship into rave futurism. This journey starts in the sun-drenched atmosphere of Everybody Loves the Sunshine by Roy Ayers, where hypnotic basslines, drifting Rhodes chords and loose groove philosophy laid foundations that producers would sample and reinterpret for decades to come. From there, the emotional storytelling of Midnight Train to Georgia by Gladys Knight & the Pips showcases bass as narrative support rather than technical showmanship. The warm melodic playing underneath Gladys Knight's timeless vocal performance reveals how soul music used restraint, pocket and feel to create emotional depth. The show then drifts into the jazz-rap haze of Pacifics by Digable Planets, where sampled jazz textures and dusty low-end grooves transformed old records into entirely new worlds. That atmosphere deepens further with Thieves in the Night by Black Star, a philosophical and socially conscious masterpiece that uses sparse boom-bap bass weight and haunting samples to create one of the defining underground hip-hop statements of the late 90s. Electro and reggae collide next with Reckless by Afrika Bambaataa featuring UB40, capturing a period where programmed basslines and drum machines began reshaping global dance music culture. That evolution accelerates into the club foundations of modern electronic music with Ooh, I Love It (Love Break) by The Salsoul Orchestra, one of the most sampled dance records ever made and a crucial bridge between disco orchestration, electro-funk and hip-hop break culture... The second half of the episode explores how these foundations evolved into house and rave futurism. Can You Feel It by Mr. Fingers channels deep house minimalism into spiritual club music, while Lindo Momento by Monsieur Van Pratt reinterprets disco warmth through modern nu-disco production and analogue-inspired groove. Underground pressure arrives through modern house gem called 'Games' and Jungle originiations like 'Untouchable' , before the journey descends fully into the shadowy low-end futurism of Valley of the Shadows by Origin Unknown one of jungle and drum & bass culture's most iconic atmospheric records. Finally, Out of Space by The Prodigy detonates the rave energy completely, fusing reggae samples, breakbeats and hardcore intensity into a defining anthem of UK electronic music culture, before the Bass Archaeology band closes the episode with a liquid drum & bass outro that brings the entire low-end journey full circle. Episode 14 traces the DNA of bass music across decades and genres — from live soul musicianship and jazz-funk atmosphere to sample culture, deep house hypnosis, jungle futurism and rave energy — revealing how groove, space and bass pressure continue to connect every era of underground music history.

From understanding that savings alone is not enough to learning how to buy shares that can turn 10,000 cedis into 100,000 cedis in one year, and why the brutal truth about building wealth is that young people don't know the difference between shares and treasury bills when treasury bills are regulated by the government giving you fixed returns like water in a cup that's always there when you drink but shares are buying a part of a company like MTN or Gold or Ben's oil palm plantation where if the company does well your shares do well but you cannot determine when it's going to rise or fall, the financial literacy educator who breaks down Maslow's hierarchy explaining that self actualization is where people invest big time into shares that work for them and they do not necessarily have to do something else proving that even when Dr. McDonald says he's not where he wants to be we see him as self actualized but to him he is not showing the difference between social status and perception, the young woman teaching people through 30 Seats that in the typical Ghanaian environment if you die it is what is said about you after the death that matters because if you only had money to take care of yourself and your family and extended family but die right now they would say you didn't leave any property proving it is money it is money not just words, the reality that people comment in DMs asking why will I save my next of kin will come and chop the money when actually you need to work hard to change that perception and leave something behind, the process of buying shares starting with saving then taking a portion of that saving to investment using IC wealth app or Black Star app where you register get a CSD account buy the shares and move forward, the top three shares young people can invest in today being MTN shares which she personally invests in, Gold shares that went from 1,250 cedis last year to now being scarce, and Ben's oil palm plantation which is doing very well, the shocking revelation that one company appreciated by 1,000% meaning if you had saved 10,000 cedis last year now you're making 100,000 cedis from buying the shares proving the power of patient investment, the wisdom that nobody gets huge money in one minute and you can't just wake up and be the MP for Kasoa or expect that buying Tom Tom for somebody will make you successful because it's a process you need to go through, the discipline that shares teach you because if you're not disciplined you cannot grow money and you cannot keep money which is why young people need to cut down expenses like the NSS personnel who sees their boss buying 100 cedis jollof and wants to do the same when the boss has worked hard to be where he is, the confession from the host about working at 17 years old in London teaching a lady's son piano for 18 pounds an hour on Wednesdays doing three or four hours but never saving any money proving that the level of discipline required for a teenager to save money is something we don't speak about enough, the temptation of spending money on Mx90s trainers at 17 instead of saving showing how hard it is for young people to resist immediate gratification, the government money of 30 pounds a week just for going to school that was never saved or invested but probably sent back home for siblings proving that even when money comes easy without work it's hard to save unless you have a clear purpose and discipline.

Fully & Completely: Redux Man Machine PoemThe last record. "Man Machine Poem" arrived in June 2016 wrapped in the worst news imaginable - and somehow it was still everything. Episode Summary: jD and Greg LeGros sit under a pear tree - bees and all - for the final entry in Fully & Completely's full Tragically Hip discography run. The album in question is "Man Machine Poem", the Hip's fourteenth and last studio record, released June 17th, 2016. Produced by Kevin Drew and Dave Hamelin, it arrived weeks after the band announced Gord Downie's glioblastoma diagnosis - though almost everything on it was written before that news broke. What jD and Greg dig into here is not just a final album. It's a listen to a band that sounds revitalized. That sounds, somehow, free. Track by track they work through all ten songs - 'Man', 'In a World Possessed by the Human Mind', 'What Blue', 'In Sarnia', 'Here, in the Dark', 'Great Soul', 'Tired as Fuck', 'Hot Mic', 'Ocean Next', and 'Machine' - unpacking the lyrical weight, the production choices, the thematic through lines, and the heartbreak of knowing this was the last one. There's also conversation about the musical landscape of 2016 - "Blackstar", "Blonde", "A Moon Shaped Pool", "We Got It from Here" - and the news, announced in the episode, that a new Gord Downie solo double album was coming. A heavy, funny, essential listen. “This is the most complete and well-written and natural sounding that they've sounded since ‘Phantom Power'. You could not ask for more.” - Greg LeGros What They Covered Track 1 - 'Man' • Psychedelic opener. Gord's vocal sounds ageless. jD hears the melody of 'Machine' hiding in the first 30 seconds - a bookend hiding in plain sight. Track 2 - 'In a World Possessed by the Human Mind' • Written about Laura Downie's illness. Greg reads it three ways simultaneously - personal, political, about the post-truth media cycle. 'Exciting over fair.' It lands every time. Track 3 - 'What Blue' • Greg cracks the code mid-episode: those eyes in the grey of everything falling apart. A marriage ending, quietly, inside a great song. Track 4 - 'In Sarnia' Fully & Completely: Redux Man Machine Poem tthpods.com 2 • Originally titled 'Insomnia'. Greg's go-to on the album. jD calls the guitar intro and vocal entry 'spectacular.' A love song to sleeplessness, or to a city, or to both. Track 5 - 'Here, in the Dark' • Seasonal affective disorder as a rock song. The last lyric - 'Me, I'm as happy as my least-happy kid' - hits like a gut punch. Both of them feel it. Track 6 - 'Great Soul' • Jammy and psychedelic and soaring. Greg reads the lyric run - 'I want to enchant you, I want you to enchant my days' - like a poem, and it sounds stunning that way. Track 7 - 'Tired as Fuck' • The campfire song that isn't. Tragic and hopeful at the same time. Greg's favourite line on the whole record: 'Tired as fuck, I want to stop so much, I almost don't want to stop.' Track 8 - 'Hot Mic' • Big, ballsy, stompy. Possible commentary on celebrity, patriotism, or Canada overhearing the wreck next door. Probably all three. Track 9 - 'Ocean Next' • Sounds recorded underwater. Feels like moving. Transition and mournfulness, wrapped in something that sounds straight off 'Day for Night'. Track 10 - 'Machine' • The album closes funky and light. The groove catches you off guard after everything that came before. 'I'm a real machine. It follows.' A stadium-sized song that most people only heard in arenas. Stadium-sized, Greg says. He's right. Also In This Episode The context of 2016: jD and Greg run through the musical landscape - David Bowie's "Blackstar", Frank Ocean's "Blonde", Beyoncé's "Lemonade", Radiohead's "A Moon Shaped Pool", A Tribe Called Quest's "We Got It from Here". A year of established artists making career-best work. The Hip fit right in. Greg's daughter was born in January 2016. He heard the news about Gord standing in a coffee shop with her in a stroller. He heard 'Tired as Fuck' that same afternoon. "A mixture of emotions" doesn't cover it. Album lore: the record was almost called "Dougie Stardust". When David Bowie passed away, they changed the title. The original cover would have stayed the same. jD notes he cannot imagine this collection of songs under that name. Gord Downie solo news: announced during the recording of this episode - a new double album, "Away Is Mine", ten songs in electric and acoustic versions. Josh Finlayson asked for the acoustic takes as a memento. Gord was recording this in July 2017 - three months before he passed. "Getting the shit done for us. Colossal output."

Blackstar Rising and the Purple Reign: The Sonic Afterlives of David Bowie and Prince (Duke UP, 2026) is the first critical anthology dedicated to exploring the legacies of the pop music icons David Bowie and Prince. Daphne A. Brooks brings together an extraordinary array of writers, artists, and scholars, including Greg Tate, Jack Halberstam, Kara Keeling, Eric Lott, and Ann Powers, to offer fresh insight into how Bowie and Prince each fundamentally changed pop culture as musicians who emerged at the intersections of modern movements surrounding race, gender, sexuality, and art. Featured alongside these pieces are interviews with trusted collaborators of Bowie and Prince such as D. A. Pennebaker, Sheila E., and Marie France, giving vital insider context to the impact both artists had on pop culture and the complexities of their repertoires, politics, and private lives. This work is essential reading for any fan of two of the most formidable and eminent figures in pop culture history.Contributors: Christine Bacareza Balance, Emma Balázs, Victoria Broackes, Daphne A.

Tony Visconti left Brooklyn for London in 1967, began working with the Move and Marc Bolan and formed a life-long friendship with the teenage David Bowie, playing on his first two albums and producing 10 of ones that followed. And in 2014 he formed Holy Holy with Woody Woodmansey, a live celebration of Bowie's music from 1970 to Blackstar. They're touring again in September with Glenn Gregory as lead singer – “you can't mourn forever.” He talks to us here about … … the gig they played the night Bowie died … life at Bowie's commune at Haddon Hall – “I kept my door firmly locked!” … Marc Bolan at Middle Earth, “a hundred spellbound kids sitting cross-legged on the floor” … hearing Flowers In The Rain (which he arranged) as the first record on Radio One … “A little chinwag?” How Bowie broke the news about his illness … his dislike of Space Oddity, “I told him it was novelty, a sell-out” … producing The Man Who Sold The World and the emotional Blackstar … the night he met the teenage Bowie and they wound up in a Chelsea cinema … “Why are you doing this?” Bowie's reaction to the first Holy Holy tour in 2014 … his time as the red-caped Hypeman and Ronson and Woody's resistance to make-up, “macho boys from Hull” … walking round New York with a cassette of secret The Next Day album in his pocket … and the big emotional moments in the Holy Holy set list Order Holy Holy tickets here: https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/holy-holy-tickets/artist/2096354Help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Hosted on Acast.

On January 8th, 2016, David Bowie celebrated his 69th birthday with the release of his 26th and final studio album, Blackstar. Two days later, Bowie was gone after succumbing to liver cancer. Now, a decade after its haunting release, host Ted Asregadoo revisits Bowie's final masterpiece. Was it a "pretentious" swan song or a stroke of avant-garde genius? From its "dark jazz" undertones to the incredible musicianship of the Donny McCaslin Quartet, we break down why this record remains a monumental final statement in a career defined by constant reinvention. Joining the conversation is long-time friend of the pod and veteran radio broadcaster Michael McGauley (KCBS/KNX). Michael shares why Blackstar has climbed the ranks to become his favorite Bowie record and recounts his first experiences with the Thin White Duke's legendary catalog. In This Episode, We Discuss: Track-by-Track Breakdown: We dive into the "guts" of the record, from the experimental merging of parts in the title track to the "Cure-esque" tones of Lazarus. The Power of the Band: A look at how drummer Mark Guiliana and the Donny McCaslin Quartet blew away even seasoned producers like Tony Visconti. The Death of Rock? We pivot to Billy Corgan's recent "paranoid" claims about the decline of rock music. Is it a conspiracy, or has the genre run its course -- which is why Bowie kept pushing into new music territory. The Emotional Weight of Musical Icons: Ted reflects on a 2016 blog post written after the deaths of Bowie and Prince. He explores why we grieve for artists we never met—not just for the loss of the person, but for the loss of the "touchstones" to our own youth and the era of "immortality" we felt in our teens.

A final album isn't supposed to feel this alive. Blackstar greets us with ominous symbols and then, almost mischievously, turns the lens toward warmth, groove, and human detail. We trace Bowie's late-era reinvention through a razor-sharp Manhattan jazz band, hip‑hop inflections, and lyrics that carry the weight of myth—eyes as portals, solitary candles, bluebirds hovering between a wink and a benediction. The journey moves from the ritual gravity of the title track to the aching candor of Lazarus, where heaven's distance meets the drop of a phone and the thrum of a bass that sounds like memory learning to breathe.We talk about why Bowie's personas were tools, not disguises: ways to make new space without asking permission. That same spirit shapes Blackstar's sonic palette—horns that cut, drums that keep time like clocks, and harmonies that hint at older Bowies without getting stuck in nostalgia. Sue (Or in a Season of Crime) sharpens the debate with lyrics that disturb and arrangements that stun, proof that beauty can interrogate darkness instead of decorating it. Girl Loves Me plays with slang and glossolalia, bending time until “Where the f— did Monday go?” feels less like a question and more like a diagnosis of our attention economy.Then there's Dollar Days, a soft reckoning with exile, roots, and the stories fame can't finish. It leads to I Can't Give Everything Away, a line that reads as boundary and blessing. After decades of giving more than we had a right to expect, Bowie keeps a private room intact—and the band carries that choice with understated grace. Across the episode, we unpack the music, the symbols, and the choices that turned a goodbye into a practice: collaborate deeply, compress what matters, and let the unsayable remain luminous.If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves Bowie, and drop your top three Blackstar tracks in a review—we'll read our favorites on a future episode.Send a textSupport the show

The Lookout is officially back for the Winter anime watch, which is the classic-yet-infamous Dragon Ball GT for the series' 30th anniversary. The discussion (begins at 22:08) discusses our initial thoughts on the series, Dragon Ball GT's premise, why it doesn't hold up as well with new spinoffs emerging, the first few episodes, and why the Black Star Dragon Ball Saga goes down as one of the worst arcs in Dragon Ball history.
Alexander Larman in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.simonandschuster.co.uk/books/Lazarus-The-Second-Coming-of-David-Bowie/Alexander-Larman/9781917923446 Lazarus: The Second Coming of David Bowie is the first biography of Bowie that tells the full and candid story of what happened in between those two apparently unbridgeable points. With new and exclusive interviews with the musicians, filmmakers and cultural figures who worked with and befriended Bowie throughout this period, Lazarus is the definitive account of the previously overlooked and fascinating latter half of a great and distinguished career. A career that climaxed with his final masterpiece, Blackstar, and the unprecedented theatrical flourish of his departure from the stage as he passed into legend.

Notes and Links to Timothy Welbeck's Work Timothy Welbeck, Esq., is an affiliated faculty member in the Department of Africology and African American Studies, where he previously served as an Assistant Professor of Instruction. There he teaches an array of popular courses, including a course he developed entitled Kendrick Lamar and the Morale of the m.A.A.d city. More broadly, Timothy's scholarly work focuses on contemporary issues of racial identity in America, the intersection of racial classifications and the law in the American context, contemporary African American culture, and hip-hop as a microcosm of the Black experience. Timothy has also written several peer-reviewed journal articles including “We Have Come Into This House: The Black Church, Florida's Stop W.O.K.E., and the Fight to Teach Black History.” He also authored “Specter of Reform: The late Sen. Arlen Specter's Criminal Justice Reform, the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, and its Role in Expanding the Modern Prison Industrial Complex,” explores the impact of the infamous 1994 Crime Bill in providing the infrastructure for mass incarceration within the United States. The research, funded by the Arlen Specter Center fellowship, examines how the federalization of criminal law, pursuant to the Commerce Clause, has led to expansive growth in federal law enforcement, imprisonment, and thus setting the foundation for the modern carceral state. Timothy's article “People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths to Rhythms: Hip-Hop's Continuation of the Enduring Tradition of African and African American Rhetorical Forms and Tropes,” examines hip-hop's continuation of centuries-old African cultural norms and aesthetic values. As an attorney, Timothy has long been an advocate for justice, using his legal expertise to defend society's most vulnerable individuals, including survivors of human trafficking, survivors of police brutality, and the indigent. He has also provided crisis management, guidance, and legal counsel to churches and nonprofit organizations across the globe. In that capacity, Timothy is the Chair of the Board of Directors for The Witness Foundation, and an Advisory Board member of For the Future Organization. Timothy has also served as the Civil Rights Attorney for the Philadelphia Chapter of Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), where he defended the constitutionally protected civil rights and liberties of those who experience discrimination and harassment based on their faith, race, ethnicity, and/or national origin, particularly members of the Muslim community within Pennsylvania. As a hip-hop artist, he has released four full length recordings, shared the stage with national and international acts (Janelle Monáe, Jidenna, EPMD, Dead Prez, and Immortal Technique), won songwriting contests (Session 1 Grand Prize in 2010 John Lennon Songwriting Contest), garnered high compliments from hip-hop legends, industry taste-makers (Sway) and record executives (VP of A&R at Def Jam, Lenny S). His latest work, entitled ‘Trane of Thought, is a live recorded hip-hop album that melds songs from his first two albums the musical style of John Coltrane. Timothy presently serves as the Pastor of Formation and a Teaching Elder at Epiphany Church of Wilmington, bringing over twenty years of ministry experience. He fosters spiritual growth through expositional and topical preaching, community engagement, trainings, workshops and spiritual counseling. In his role, he equips Epiphany members to live out their faith practically in their communities and prepare others to do the same. Timothy's work as an attorney and scholar has allowed him to contribute to various media outlets, such as: Axios, BBC Radio 4, CBS, CNN, The Huffington Post, NBC, The New York Times, NPR, The Philadelphia Inquirer, REVOLT TV, The Washington Post, VOX, and 900 WURD AM. He has lectured nationally and internationally at esteemed institutions like: Magdalen College of Oxford University, Georgetown University, Swarthmore College, and provided invited keynote addresses at major corporations like 1Hotels, Campbell Soup, and Merrill Lynch. As a contributing writer, Timothy has bylines in The Huffington Post, The Philadelphia Inquirer, WHYY, and RESPECT Magazine.

Happy New Year, Night People. January is a holy month for our community, marking the first anniversary of David Lynch's passing, his birthday, Bowie's birthday, and 10 years since the Black Star passed; and now, one year since the LA fires. Let us reflect. Come with me, wont you, on a journey into the unexamined shadows of the Black Lodge, and it's opposite, the White Lodge, a place where wisdom and peace reside in abundance. Are the notions of these lodges real, like a formica table? Or are we always dwelling on the thresholds of these states of being, passing through and doubling back, like threading a needle, again and again. This is a public episode.

Tien jaar na zijn overlijden is David Bowie nog altijd een inspiratiebron. Niet alleen als muzikant, maar ook als kunstenaar die generaties blijft beïnvloeden. Zijn muziek, zijn personages en zijn radicale vrijheid werken door — ook bij artiesten die hem nooit hebben meegemaakt. In deze podcast vertellen twee zangers uit verschillende generaties over hoe Bowie hen inspireert. Sven Ratzke (48) is theatermaker, zanger en internationaal bekend om zijn Bowie-vertolkingen. Voor hem is Bowie een kunstenaar die liet zien hoe muziek, theater en identiteit in elkaar kunnen grijpen. Lenny Monsoe (20) is zanger en songwriter. Bowie overleed toen hij nog een kind was, maar via zijn ouders, de muziek en verhalen over Bowie werd hij ook voor Monsou een voorbeeld. Aan de hand van muziekfragmenten spreken Ratzke en Monsou over inspiratie, over durven veranderen, over performance en over de vrijheid om jezelf steeds opnieuw uit te vinden. Ook komt Bowie's laatste album Blackstar voorbij — als artistiek afscheid en als blijvende bron van betekenis. Inspiratiebron David Bowie is een podcast over hoe grote kunstenaars blijven doorwerken in de generaties na hen. En over waarom David Bowie, tien jaar later, nog steeds relevant is. Reageren?

Ten years after the death of David Bowie, Nick is joined by author Alexander Larman to discuss his new biography, Lazarus: David Bowie from the Tin Machine to Blackstar.While the 1970s "Ziggy Stardust" era has been endlessly dissected, Larman shines a light on the often-overlooked second half of Bowie's career. From the artistic wilderness of the late 80s and the critical mauling of Tin Machine to his renaissance in the 90s and the "masterpiece" of his final album Blackstar, we explore the man behind the myths.Was Bowie a chameleon, a charlatan, or a genius trying to rediscover his voice? We discuss his flirtation with fascism, his "performative" interviews, and why, despite decades of reinvention, the Thin White Duke remains one of the most unknowable figures in cultural history.Key Topics:The Wilderness Years: Why Bowie lost his way in the 80s and how he found it again.Performance as Identity: Was Bowie ever "himself," or was every interview just another character?Blackstar: Reassessing Bowie's final album as a meditation on mortality in a godless universe.The Bowie Archive: What the newly opened V&A East archive reveals about his creative process.Books Mentioned:Lazarus: David Bowie from the Tin Machine to Blackstar by Alexander LarmanExplaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

Saxophonist and composer Donny McCaslin has been playing with jazz luminaries like Maria Schneider and Dave Douglas, and leading his own band, for a couple of decades. But he's best known for his work with David Bowie, who basically hired Donny's whole ensemble to be the band on his final album Blackstar. His latest, Lullaby for the Lost, is a guitar-driven, rock-influenced, groove-laden beast (in the best way). Donny McCaslin and his band play some of the tunes live, in-studio. Set List: 1. KID 2. Solace 3. Mercy

We revisit his late-career albums, his secret comeback with "The Next Day", and the farewell gift of "Blackstar". Plus, the stories behind his art, his influence on countless genres, and why his impact continues to grow even ten years after his passing. Bowie didn't just make music...he reshaped culture...and this is Why Bowie Still Matters. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
