Podcasts about blockheads

We will soon trust AI more than people with their own agendas. In 50 years, we'll realise 50%+ tax was madness when 20% could have worked. Digital voting will let people vote on issues, not political parties, and we'll have an executive of 40 people (like Singapore) instead of 1,000 MPs arguing endlessly. And Brexit will be remembered as the best thing that happened—because this entrepreneurial little island will reinvent how to govern, and the rest of the world will copy us as they've done throughout history. Simon Woodroffe, founder of Yo! Sushi and YoTel, original Dragon on Dragons' Den, performer at Edinburgh Festival, recording artist with the Blockheads, and now published author of "Yo Man," has built businesses across multiple industries starting at age 45—and he's got radical ideas about politics, taxation, and why megalomaniac control at the beginning is the right way to start any business.In this episode from Thailand (where Simon now lives with his Thai wife after being brought up in old Singapore), he reveals how he started YoSushi after a Japanese TV producer said "conveyor belt sushi bar with girls in black PVC miniskirts," flew to Japan when it was expensive and difficult (Japan was the last great mystery of the East 30 years ago), found 2,500 conveyor belt sushi bars nobody in the UK knew about, and opened Poland Street with everything he had in the world—only to have nobody come for the first two weeks. Then the second Saturday, there was a 100-yard queue down the block because they'd done something so completely different. He shares why he was nicknamed "the steamroller," why megalomaniac control is perfect at the beginning but you must let go after three years, how he hired Robin Rowland who closed all the Yo Below bars much to Simon's chagrin (but was absolutely right), and why he's earned roughly 1% of YoTel turnover every quarter for years—which has funded everything since and probably saved him from going broke.Book recommendations:How to Get Rich - Felix Dennis - https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Get-Rich-Felix-Dennis/dp/0091927447Yo Man - Simon Woodroffe - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Yo-Man-Simon-Woodroffe/dp/1398616761About the Guest:Simon Woodroffe is the founder of YoSushi (celebrating 30 years in January) and YoTel (now over 30 hotels worldwide, much bigger business than YoSushi), original Dragon on Dragons' Den (series 1-3), performer at Edinburgh Festival where he did a one-man show, recording artist with the Blockheads, and published author of "Yo Man" (his second book—the first was his autobiography). He's done a few things. He's 77 years old, was brought up in old Singapore, has lived all over the world, and now lives in Thailand with his Thai wife. His home base is Thailand because it's the best place he's found after searching everywhere.Simon started YoSushi at age 45 after a long, hard life that hasn't always been good. He's now a licensor of both YoSushi and YoTel, broadcasting on social media, and trying to give something back to the world to improve it—whether politically or directly helping one person at a time. He always said that when he was knocking on other people's doors, if he was ever the one whose door was knocked on (which is the situation he finds himself in now), he would always try to respond to everybody. And he does.Connect with Simon Woodroffe - https://www.linkedin.com/in/yosimonwoodroffe/--------Sign up to receive our weekly Curious Leadership newsletter:https://subscribe.monkhouseandcompany.comFollow Dominic on LinkedIn:https://linkedin.com/in/dominicmonkhouseChapters:00:00 Introduction01:01 Introduction to Simon Woodroffe's journey and achievements02:37 Simon on world improvements and his life in Thailand03:47 Predictions on digital voting and government change06:37 A small executive model for better governance10:00 Reducing taxes by changing government spending12:00 Trusting AI over human biases for balanced insights14:06 Launch of Simon's book, Yo Man, and the ATM story16:57 Bringing conveyor belt sushi to London20:05 Transition from steamroller to delegator in business21:36 Successful expansion under Robin Rowland's leadership24:10 Involvement in Yotel and its global success28:59 Importance of theatre and 'ziz' in business branding30:07 Letting go of control for business growth31:28 Transition to TV and participation in Dragon's Den35:14 Enjoying Dragon's Den and investments made38:08 Overcoming challenges during Yo Sushi's opening weeks42:29 Creative 'yo' brand extensions and their impacts45:01 Making tough business decisions swiftly and confidently

Title: The One Who Sends Blockheads and HotheadsText: Mark: 3:13-19Pastor: Ben Loos

Winners of the Block 2024 (and the youngest competitors EVER), sisters Maddy and Charlotte give their advice for current and future Blockheads, share what they've been up to since the Block, what they still wish was a part of their Block experience, and given their thoughts on who will win this auction day and why.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 290, Recorded 9/17/2025. Concessions were made. Todd gets the vapors. Missed opportunatzis.  FanDuel up $15M. Blockheads. I'm the idiot. The shirt off their backs. Sailing away. Top 5 list Sneaks up on you. Ralphie runs (strolls) wild. Football costs money.

It's the end, the end of the Seventies.It was a decade that had started with Edison Lighthouse and ended with Another Brick in the wall. After 221 number one singles, the decade that had given us everything from Bowie to Bell bottoms, from Chopper bikes to Chiquitita, Glam to Punk, and Sapphire to Steel, was closing down - and at a sensible hour too!On the 31st December 1979, Kenny Everett asked the (more discerning) viewers on ITV, if he would indeed make it 1980. With the iconic help of Roxy Music, David Bowie, The Boomtown Rats and many more, he just about crossed over into that new decade. But really listens, the future was already with us.And yes, 1979 did seem rather grim - a winter of discontent, political upheaval, TV strikes and terrorism. But isn't this exactly the kind of period when popular culture and significantly POP, POP, POP MUZIK comes to save us all? The kids were indeed, alright!So, in the company of some very special guests - singer/songwriter and pop legend Nick Heyward and Record Collector's very own Daryl Easlea - as we revisit the cultural tsunami that is the NOW Yearbook 1979. Rediscover a glittering embarrassment of 7” smashes from the likes of Sparks, Chic, Blondie, Squeeze, Ian Dury & the Blockheads, Roxy Music. The list, just like the glorious pages of Daryl's 1979 diary goes on and on.As well as sharing his fabulous boxset, 1993–1998: The Epic & Creation Years, Nick tells us about how important 1979 was in shaping his own musical journey. From the early days of (what would become) Haircut 100, to rediscovering kitchen sink somewhere up a junction, to defining a look and sound as the seventies morphed into the eighties. We explore the sounds of 1979 - from XTC to The Knack, from Rainbow to Sad Cafe (yes, really!), how punk was evolving into New wave, which was evolving into New Pop which… (yes, we get the idea: Ed)And also how video wasn't exactly killing the radio star, but through visuals a new age was really dawning for pop. So, lets take a One Way Ticket, One Step Beyond some Parisienne Walkways (we're not keeping these in! Ed)1979.Wow, indeed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, Pearl E. Gates (aka Pearl Harbour) from Bay Area new wave faves Pearl Harbor & The Explosions gives us a glimpse of some of the artists of the era who had the biggest impact on her. Along the way, Pearl shares her fascinating story: a military brat growing up in Germany who makes her way to San Francisco with a plane ticket and $75, joins The Tubes as a backup singer and dancer, which led to joining Leila and the Snakes before spinning off to form Pearl Harbor & The Explosions. After the moderate success of their single "Drivin'" for indie label 415 Records, the band was signed to Warner Bros. Records for their self-titled debut album, released in January 1980. It's a dynamic record that mixes new wave energy with pop, R&B, rockabilly, and jazz. They shared stages with the likes of Talking Heads, The Police, The Clash, and The B-52's. Differences in opinion regarding the Explosions' musical direction led to Pearl departing for England, where she recorded her rootsy, rockin' 1980 solo album Don't Follow Me, I'm Lost Too, with a dream band including Wilko Johnson from Dr. Feelgood and members of the Blockheads and the Clash. In fact, in the '80s, Pearl was married to Clash bassist Paul Simonon. She also takes us through her rare mid-'80s album that never saw a U.S. release (Pearls Galore), her blazing '90s set Here Comes Trouble, and how her countrified return was sidelined by a lung cancer diagnosis. Now thankfully in remission, we are blessed to have this living icon of new wave history share her story. Oh, and in a head-turning twist, Uncle Gregg tackles the one question that nobody else has dared to ask! Liberation Hall has just released an expanded edition of Pearl Harbor & The Explosions on opaque sky-blue vinyl, CD and digital, containing bonus tracks and the original UK album cover design. ⁠https://pearlharbortheexplosions.bandcamp.com/album/pearl-harbor-the-explosions⁠ Special thanks to Randy Haecker from Prime Mover Media for the introduction and coordination!

This episode on TV RELOAD, I’m joined once again by the man behind Australia’s biggest renovation juggernaut. The Block’s executive producer Julian Cress! Now, this is not just another season of The Block… it’s series 21 and they are about to officially clock over 1000 episodes. But rather than rest on their laurels, Julian and the team have shaken things up in a huge way. From strict tools-down rules that were implemented for mental health reasons , to a whole new breed of Blockheads you’re going to be obsessed with. Julian spills the behind-the-scenes tea on how Daylesford turned on the charm. With “better-than-advertised” weather and support from the local MP-slash-Infrastructure-Minister! And trust me, there are fireplace vibes and classic block drama in equal measure. He also opens up about: Why this season deliberately dialled back the nastiness and how that’s changed the kind of drama we’re seeing on-screen Whether he’s ever talked to Scotty Cam about his exit plan. The show’s evolution and whether The Block was ever in danger of “becoming Married at First Sight.” And yes… in relations to the clear message.. that this is a ‘nice’ ‘nice’ season Julian does confirm that someone this season will say “they’re dead to me” before the hammer drops on final auction — it’s tradition! So settle in, whether you’re keen to see what changes this year has install or just tuning in for the Sunday room reveals — this is The Block like you’ve never heard it before.

Lee Harris, the founder and guitarist of the successful band ‘Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secret' was our first interview guest almost two years ago. We had an exciting conversation back then and we knew we wanted to invite him back to our podcast.Now, 25 episodes later, the time has finally come, Lee Harris is back!Together with Phil Salathé, in this episode we talk about Lee's youth, his own career as co-manager and guitarist of the band ‘Ian Dury and the Blockheads' and the musical development of Pink Floyd between the years 1967 and 1972, an era they cover with the 'Saucers'.Lee also gives us a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the band, describing the conditions under which the songs were chosen and why Echoes came so late in the setlist.Look forward to a lively conversation between two full-blooded musicians and some great and nerdy insights...(On a personal note, to our knowledge Pink Floyd performed 'The Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast' four times during the UK leg of their British Winter Tour in 1970.)

18 Years of a Music Summer School Today, I reflect on the lessons and observations from the last 18 years of running Bluescampuk. It has been a very special experience with campers going on to do amazing things, gigging, songwriting, starting bands, doing tours and even teaching. We have had great guests, including Chaz Hodges from Chaz and Dave, Chaz Jenkel from the Blockheads, and Chris Difford from Squeeze. This year will be the last in this format. I am not sure what will follow, but I think we have left a legacy of creativity and fun.   To support the podcast and get access to features about guitar playing and song writing visit https://www.patreon.com/vichyland and also news for all the creative music that we do at Bluescamp UK and France visit www.bluescampuk.co.uk   For details of the Ikaro music charity visit www.ikaromusic.com   Big thanks to Josh Ferrara for the music

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 27ú lá de mí an Mhárta, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1992 dúradh go mbeadh gach páirtí in Éirinn ag aontú leis an chonspóid ginmhilleadh ach dúradh go raibh ceannaire Fhine Gael John Bruton ag labhairt le comhairleoir dlíthiúil. I 2008 bhí argóint ag tarlú faoin bpá a bhí ag na múinteoirí tar éis a dhiúltaigh Mary Hanafin an t-éileamh a bhí ann I gcóir ardú pá agus nach mbeadh aon choinníoll ann. I 1992 glan comhairle chontae an Chláir suas cruinnín ola ar na trá timpeall an chontae. I 2008 tháinig an nuacht amach go raibh cuir siar den cuir in aghaidh den chealú den 24 uair a&e in Inis de bharr nach mbeadh baill d'fhianna fáil ón chontae ag dul chuig aon ospidéal mór. Sin Usher le Love In This Club – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2008. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2000 fuair aisteoir agus scríbhneoir amhráin Ian Dury bás. Bhí sé an ceannaire de Ian Dury agus The Blockheads agus chuaigh a amhrán Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick chuig uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain I 1978. I 2008 tháinig Leona Lewis amach lena dara singil darbh ainm Bleeding Love agus chuaigh sí chuig uimhir a haon ar na Billboard Hot 100. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh amhránaí Mariah Carey I Meiriceá I 1969 agus rugadh amhránaí Fergie I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1975 agus seo chuid de a amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.

Chaz Jankel came to prominence as the musical director for Ian Dury's Blockheads,  helping to steer those pub rock survivors away from punk and toward funk, disco, and pop. Chaz went further into fusion on his own, creating a stylish music that bridged the boundaries between new wave and the mainstream. When Quincy Jones spotted "Ai No Corrida" on Chaz's eponymous solo debut and decided to have Dune sing the tune, the song became an international hit, reaching 28 on Billboard's Hot 100 and 14 on the U.K. charts,. This established Jankel as a force outside of the Blockheads. Over the next decade, Chaz Jankel worked on his own, releasing a total of four solo albums in the first half of the '80s and scoring a massive dance club hit with '81's "Glad to Know You." Eventually Chaz wound his way back to Ian Dury Iserving as his chief collaborator on 98's  Mr. Love Pants and 2000's Ten More Turnips from the Tip.  Ian Dury died shortly afterward, leaving Chaz as the leader of the Blockheads, a role he'd maintain alongside his solo career.Born in 1952 in Middlesex, Chaz Jankel was drawn to music by Lonnie Donergan , the king of Britain's skiffle craze of the '60s. He had picked up the guitar as a child, then learned piano but while at boarding school, he fell in love with soul and funk. His first major band was the folk-rock group Byzantium and later he joined Jonathan Kelly's Outside, appearing on their '74 LP  Waiting on You, then he went on to play with Kilburn and the High Roads during their final days in the mid-'70s. Jankel hit it off with Kilburn leader Ian Dury, so once  the High Roads split, the pair formed the Blockheads, a punk band that supported Ian Dury on his '77 solo debut, New Boots and Panties! It wa at this time that the band steered itself towards funk and disco - a shift in direction that accentuated Chaz Jankel's musical interests.The album Do It Yourself turned into a huge hit for Ian Dury, providing momentum for Chaz to launch a solo career in 1980; although he'd continue to write with Ian Dury, notably collaborating on "Spasticus Autisticus" from 1981's  Lord Upminster. Signing with A&M, he released his eponymous solo debut Chasanova in 1981 and made inroads in the U.S. thanks to the single "Glad to Know You," which became a number one hit on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart, staying there for seven weeks. That same year, Quincy Jones covered "Ai No Corrida," Chaz's lead track.   Quincy's version became an international hit, turning the song into something of a new wave disco standard. The album Chazablanca arrived in 83 and Looking at You came out in 85.Jankel relocated to the US in the late 1980s, where he started to work as a film composer beginning with the Dennis Quaid -starring remake of the 1949 film noir D.O.A.; the latter was co-directed by Chaz's sister Annabel. Chaz eventually returned to the UK in the mid-'90s, leading to a reunion with Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Jankel and Dury collaborated on the singer's final two albums, 1998's Mr Love Pants and 2000's Ten More Turnips from the Tip. Ian Dury died shortly after this in 2000 and Chaz Jankel continued to lead the Blockheads through a number of tours and records, all the while continuing to work on a solo career of his own. Throughout the 2000s, he regularly released albums. During the 2010s, his recording projects involved the Blockheads, who released Same Horse Different Jockey in 2013 and Beyond the Call of Dury in 2017.Cherry Red Records released Glad to Knot You: The Anthology 1980 - 1986, a five-disc compilation of Jankel's recordings, in 2020 and more recently Chaz has released and reissued a recording of DOA Reimagined.

As she points out, “the ‘80s revival has gone on longer than the decade itself.” We don't know anyone who enjoys and appreciates being a pop star more and talk here about the first gigs she ever went to and played herself, which involves … … what she wore (aged 13) to see the Bay City Rollers at the Glasgow Apollo (includes “cork platform clogs”). … winning the Alternative school beauty pageant dressed as Debbie Harry in a bin bag. … her sister Margaret's re-enactments of David Bowie, Leo Sayer and Roxy Music. … why the furniture at the Middlesbrough Rock Garden was screwed to the floor. … memories of 2-Tone, the Banshees, Madness, the Stranglers and the Blockheads. … the riot at a Scottish festival when they ran out of alcohol. … violence at early ‘80s gigs when your only security was “Ginge the Roadie”. … Echo & the Bunnymen and the Psychedelic Furs at the Bungalow Bar in Paisley. … do you focus on the people in the crowd who are enjoying it or the ones that need winning over? … horizontal rain when wearing a ballet dress and playing to “a sea of cagoules”. … the best way to tell the audience you're about to play a new song. … David Hepworth's Altered Images album review in Smash Hits: ouch! … and her daughter watching old Altered Images clips on YouTube.  ---------------- Altered Images autumn tour dates and tickets here: http://alteredimages.band/Find out more about how you can help us keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyouear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Musical pioneer Chaz Jankel welcomed me to his home to discuss his legendary musical career - from his days with Ian Dury & The Blockheads (co-writing Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick, Sex & Drugs & Rock'N'Roll and more) through his wildly influential solo career, his later foray into film scoring and that time  Quincy Jones covered one of his songs. We also get deep into society's conventions, life's rhythms, Elkhart Tolle, the illusion of control, energy balances, exotic cheeses and the importance of never squandering the light.

With its distinctive 16-notes-to-the-bar bassline and unashamedly honky sax solo (played on two saxes at once), Ian Dury and the Blockheads' signature hit was certainly one of the more idiosyncratic No 1s of the 1970s. The same could be said of their inimitable frontman, who exemplified the post-punk era's particular ability to allow unlikely and extraordinary characters to infiltrate the mainstream.Just three years prior to reaching the top spot in January 1979, the edgy, twitchy singer-narrator-wordsmith dubbed “the Count Dracula of vernacular” had been the thirtysomething, struggling frontman of Kilburn and the High Roads, a seemingly washed-up, chaotic, bedraggled bunch of misfits and miscreants. Left with a severely withered arm and leg following a childhood bout of polio, Dury had already overcome disability, taunts and school days he described as “heavy-duty sadism” and “unmitigated hell” to become an unconventional but riveting live performer.

Pearl Harbour has a deep love of Rockabilly music. So much so that instead of recording another album on a major label with Pearl Harbor and The Explosions, she left the band to record a solo record. The result was the 1980 release, Don't Follow Me, I'm Lost Too. Unfortunately, the album was slightly ahead of its time, missing out on the 80s rockabilly revival from bands like The Stray Cats and The Blasters. Fortunately, we now have this re-release. Pearl joins the podcast to relive those times including stories about contributions from members of The Clash and Ian Dury & The Blockheads. Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode is all about making sure our FSQ listeners let out a primal scream, a guttural yell, and find catharsis through putting a roar or two on the world every day. The Ian Dury & The Blockheads tune "Dance of the Screamers" delivers that key message and so does the Billy Idol anthem "Rebel Yell" plus host Chuck Da Fonk finds time to expel his own grunts and ahhhss throughout the episode set along side with new music by Soul Clap, Sonic Soul Orchestra feat Kathy Brown, Mark Levinson, Mitch Murder and more. Tune into new broadcasts of FSQ, Thursday from 3 - 5 PM EST / 8 - 10 PM GMT.For more info visit: https://thefaceradio.com/fsq///Dig this show?
