Esta semana viajamos a 1950 para analizar Los olvidados, la película mexicana de Luis Buñuel que retrata la dura realidad de la infancia marginal. Con la visita del Parlita desgranamos el impacto social y artístico de esta obra que, a pesar de su fracaso inicial en México, fue reconocida en Cannes y por la UNESCO como patrimonio mundial. Repasamos los personajes principales, la simbología recurrente en Buñuel y las escenas más impactantes que muestran la violencia y la desesperanza de los niños olvidados por la sociedad. Como siempre, cerramos con nuestras recomendaciones audiovisuales de la actualidad y las preguntas existenciales que nos quitan la vida cada semana. ¡Esperamos que lo disfruten! Y si te esperas al final, después de la canción de cierre, Bonus Track, con Minutos chistosos patrios. ¡Pa no perderselo vamos!

Klassik kann ganz schön überraschend sein! In dieser Remix-Folge nimmt Jens Marcel mit auf eine Reise durch die Epochen der klassischen Musik und probiert dabei einen neuen Ratemodus aus. Ob das funktioniert? Darüber ist Marcel zunächst eher skeptisch.Marcel hat sich für seine Stücke diesmal einen ganz besonderen roten Faden ausgesucht: Klassische Musik taucht nämlich manchmal an Orten auf, an denen man sie zunächst überhaupt nicht erwarten würde. Und auch ein Bonus-Track zeigt, wie vielseitig die Einsatzmöglichkeiten großer klassischer Werke sein können.Außerdem geht es um ein Stück, das weltweit zu den ersten Klassikwerken gehört, die viele angehende Klavierspieler lernen – und natürlich gibt es wieder jede Menge Geschichten rund um die Musik.Im Endquiz sorgen schließlich Jens' mitgebrachte Mozartkugeln für Gesprächsstoff. Und beim abschließenden Musikschnipsel muss Marcel eine ziemlich deutliche Niederlage einstecken.36 Minuten Klassik, Überraschungen und jede Menge Musikgeschichte.Es gibt (fast) alle Songs aus unserem Podcast in unserer Spotify-Playlist:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4m3l3Xvt1EdFp2LxkooNmJWenn Euch Musikgeschichte gefällt, folgt unserem Podcast bei Eurem Streaminganbieter und bewertet uns gerne mit 5 Sternen.

En este nuevo Bonus Track nos sentamos con Guillermo Oliveto, Director de la Consultora W y uno de los mayores especialistas en consumo y tendencias de la región. En un mano a mano espectacular y sin filtros, Guillermo desarma la compleja realidad del Homo Consumidorum argentino en plena transición económica. Analizamos el paso violento del famoso "fingir demencia" de 2023 a la cruda "irrupción de coherencia" del presente, la gran desconexión que existe entre los números de la macroeconomía y la realidad de la calle, y por qué hoy la supervivencia de cualquier PYME gastronómica y hotelera depende de una eficiencia integral medida a dos decimales. Un análisis indispensable para entender hacia dónde va el consumo, cómo adaptarte al "Gran Reset" del mercado y cómo cruzar con éxito el puente de la transición hacia el escenario del 2027.

En este episodio de DISCORAMA, Mario Mengoni reúne a ALEJANDRO PONT LEZICA Y RAFAEL SARMIENTO, dos pioneros de la historia del disc jockey en la Argentina y responsables de haber marcado el rumbo de toda una generación de musicalizadores desde los inolvidables años setenta. A lo largo de una conversación íntima y muy documentada, recorren más de cinco décadas de historia: los primeros pasos detrás de las bandejas, la apasionante búsqueda de música cuando cada disco importado era un verdadero tesoro, la amistad que nació de una histórica rivalidad, la evolución del oficio y la filosofía que siempre los acompañó: poner a la música y al público por encima de cualquier protagonismo. La selección musical de este episodio incluye a George Duke, The Love Unlimited Orchestra, Earth, Wind & Fire, Andrea True Connection, Jeff Cascaro, George McCrae y Michael Jackson, en una edición especialmente concebida para acompañar a nuestros dos protagonistas. Y cuando termina el programa... la conversación continúa. En el Bonus Track exclusivo disponible junto a este episodio, Alejandro Pont Lezica y Rafael Sarmiento comparten nuevas historias, recuerdos y reflexiones que no formaron parte de la emisión radial. Entre ellas, una charla muy interesante sobre el último álbum de Madonna y una de sus producciones más recientes.

Bonus Episode #72 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan reviews Denshattack!, the off-the-rails arcade platformer from Barcelona studio Undercoders and publisher Fireshine Games, out now on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Set in a near-future Japan flattened by climate disaster, the game follows Emi, a ramen delivery driver who trades her quiet route for the underground world of train tricking and ends up leading a rebellion against the Miraido corporation, one gravity-defying kickflip at a time. This Musical Review digs into the combo-chaining trick system and medal-based progression, the sixty-plus stages that wind from the sun-washed tracks of Kyushu to the snowfields of Hokkaido, the wild boss encounters and set pieces that refuse to play it safe, and the cel-shaded pop-art presentation that gives the whole thing an identity you could spot from across a room. The episode also hands a full segment to the game's staggering all-star soundtrack, led by Tee Lopes alongside a lineup of more than twenty composers and vocalists including Sean Bialo, Andrew One, Richard Jacques, Ryo Nagamatsu, Shoji Meguro, Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, Harumi Fujita, Lotus Juice, Ironmouse, and many more, and how its blend of funk, synthwave, and vocal anthems drives every moment forward without ever losing its cohesive spirit.

Send us Fan MailGrammy Award-winning producer, engineer, synthesizer programmer, studio owner, film producer and author Robert Margouleff stops by YMAAA to introduce Al to David Sanborn's 1982 album As We Speak—an album that he produced. Robert talks about how he came to produce the saxophonist's album and why the album had the novelty of two tracks with vocals by Michael Sembello. Robert and Al covered a wide range of topics, from how drum machines changed the nature of recorded music from the ‘80s forward to the demise of fade-outs to the drawbacks of noise-canceling headphones to the use of AI in music. Robert also discussed his recently-released memoir Shaping Sounds: Stevie Wonder, DEVO, The Synth Revolution and My Life Behind the Music, and he delved into his work with Stevie Wonder (along with his production and engineering partner Malcolm Cecil) during the early- and mid-‘70s.Robert's website (which links to sites where you can buy his book) and socials:https://www.margouleff.com/Instagram: @robertmargouleffFacebook: @robert_margouleffBe sure to sign up for the YMAAA Newsletter at youmealbum.ghost.io. To keep up with You, Me and An Album, please give the show a follow on Instagram at @youmealbum.Al has put a pause on publishing new Bonus Tracks episodes, but you can listen to the past ones at the You, Me and An Album Patreon for $1/month.

Much like an aerial threat...much like John "Striker" Slade...much like KFC's popcorn chicken...much like other in-jokes and references you would have to listen to seven years of prior podcasts to understand...WE'RE BACK! After an extended absence, the Brettster and the Ty-man return with a heapin' helpin' of highly original (or is it highly questionable?) content: the first half of the ep is a sort of "catch-up" where everything is on the table.  The second half delves into a deep subject: the films of 1991. Expect multiple further installments on the topic. Also Expect No Mercy. As a special Bonus Track, if you will, stay tuned after the episode as we give you a bit of extra content: after so much time away, we thought our most recent mic test was good enough to put out there as a little throw-in for our loyal Comeuppance Warriors. Thanks for sticking with us, and enjoy!

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius Kevin is back! He and Mark bang on at length about the recent Oliver Wakeman concert with his band at Worcester, the remastered and expanded From A Page album and the first single from the new Yes album, Aurora. My thanks to everyone who has wished me well, including Brian Breen, Chris Berry and Gary Betts and his wife and most importantly Mark, who has kept the wheels turning at YMP Towers brilliantly. There are also some thoughts from Daniel and Amanda about the new From A Page, especially the inclusion of the song, Aliens and do check out the show notes for a video of our own Geoff Bailie discussing the new Yes single with his Prog Report compatriots.

It's always been about collaboration, somebody can write a song, but until everybody puts their contribution in it isn't really a Yes song. We're not trying to echo the past; we're carrying the spirit of Yes forward and turning it into something new”. The band are also launching the first single from the album, and you can watch the beautiful animated video for the title track, created by Matt Hutchings (Greg Lake, Oasis, Iron Maiden),  here: https://youtu.be/ETEGJTM6plw ‘Aurora' will be available as a Limited Deluxe 180g Light Green 2LP+2CD+Blu-ray Artbook & Poster, as well as a Ltd Deluxe 2CD+Blu-ray Artbook, both featuring the stunning artwork of Roger Dean and Freya Dean, as well as a bonus disc of instrumentals, and a blu-ray featuring Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround Sound & 24bit stereo mixes (by Curtis Schwartz).

There was no preconceived concept at the start, just a collection of musical fragments that gradually began to find one another and take form. Among these early sketches was a piece titled “Aurora,” and it quickly became clear that the name carried certain gravity. It suggested light, emergence, and a sense of vastness, qualities that resonated deeply with the band. Jon Davison remembers how “the title immediately resonated with Steve Howe and sparked visual inspiration for artist Roger Dean, setting a conceptual tone that would guide the project.” Work on ‘Aurora' began almost as soon as the ‘Classic Tales of Yes' tour ended in 2024. The idea of a new album surfaced quickly and with the label's encouragement, the band had the time to develop material organically. Rather than gathering in a single studio for months, they embraced a modern workflow; ideas were born in home studios, shaped independently, and then woven together through constant collaboration. Downes and Howe often acted as the central creative axis, with Howe, as producer, serving as the point through which all ideas eventually flowed. Across ‘Aurora', each track carries its own character. Some echo the classic Yes approach, others push into new territory, but together they form a cohesive whole that honours the band's heritage while embracing forward motion. With their 24th studio album, Yes demonstrate not just longevity, but a sustained curiosity, a desire to keep exploring, keep refining and keep discovering their capacity to create.    YES is: Steve Howe Geoff Downe Jon Davison Billy Sherwood Jay Schellen YES ONLINE: www.yesworld.com   www.facebook.com/yestheband   www.x.com/yesofficial www.youtube.com/user/yesofficial   www.instagram.com/yesofficial   INSIDEOUTMUSIC ONLINE: www.insideoutmusic.com www.youtube.com/InsideOutMusicTV www.facebook.com/InsideOutMusic www.instagram.com/insideoutmusic/ https://insideoutmusic.bandcamp.com https://youtu.be/ETEGJTM6plw?si=5W21K63dk8qY2qTU Barry Plummer 2026 Calendar is still available!

En el mundo del automóvil solemos alabar las mecánicas eternas, aquellas capaces de superar el millón de kilómetros. Sin embargo, hoy nos vamos al lado opuesto: los denominados "motores de cristal". Se trata de propulsores que, por fallos de diseño o una ambición técnica mal ejecutada, están condenados a fallar tarde o temprano. En este vídeo repasamos los 10 desastres más sonados y un Bonus Track que está marcando la actualidad de los talleres en media Europa. El origen del desastre Diseñar un motor es un equilibrio imposible entre potencia, peso, consumo y fiabilidad. A veces, ese equilibrio se rompe por la tacañería de un contable o la arrogancia de un ingeniero. Lo curioso es que estos fallos no son exclusivos de marcas económicas; a menudo, son las firmas más prestigiosas las que más han patinado. 1. Chevrolet Vega 2.3 (1970-1977): GM quiso innovar con un bloque de aluminio sin camisas de acero. Al primer calentón, el bloque y la culata dilataban a ritmos distintos, los pistones rayaban las paredes y el motor quemaba aceite como una freidora antes de los 60.000 km. 2. Triumph Stag V8 3.0 (1970-1977): Intentaron crear un rival para Mercedes uniendo dos motores de cuatro cilindros. El diseño tenía espárragos de culata inclinados que se corroían y una bomba de agua en el punto más alto. Si perdía un poco de líquido, el motor se fundía en segundos. 3. Cadillac V8-6-4 (1981-1984): Mucho antes de que la desconexión de cilindros fuera estándar, Cadillac lo intentó con una electrónica de 1981 que era demasiado lenta. El motor daba tirones violentos y los solenoides se quemaban constantemente. Duró solo un año en catálogo. 4. Alfa Romeo Boxer 1.3/1.5 (Años 80): Utilizado en los Alfasud y los primeros 33, suena de gloria pero su mantenimiento era una tortura. Las correas de distribución tenían intervalos de cambio cortísimos y los tensores eran frágiles. Si no eras un "talibán" del mantenimiento, el motor no llegaba a los 100.000 km. 5. Rover Serie K (1988-2005): Un motor brillantísimo por peso y prestaciones (montado en el Lotus Elise), pero con una junta de culata de cartón prensado que no aguantaba los ciclos térmicos. El aceite y el agua se mezclaban formando la famosa "mayonesa" y la culata acababa fundiéndose. 6. Porsche M96 y M97 (1997-2008): El famoso rodamiento IMS. Un rodamiento sellado "de por vida" que, cuando fallaba, provocaba que las válvulas chocaran con los pistones. Porsche tardó una década en solucionar un problema que afectaba a su joya de la corona, el 911. 7. BMW N47 Diésel (2007-2011): BMW arruinó su imagen con este motor. Colocaron la cadena de distribución en la parte trasera, junto a la caja de cambios. Cuando la cadena se estiraba o rompía, la reparación obligaba a sacar el motor entero, con facturas de hasta 5.000 euros. 8. Subaru EE20 Diésel (2008-2015): El primer bóxer diésel del mundo. La idea era buena, pero la ejecución no soportó las presiones internas. Los primeros modelos tenían una tendencia terrorífica a partir el cigüeñal por la mitad. Subaru acabó abandonando el diésel para siempre. 9. PSA-BMW 1.6 THP (2006-2014): El "Prince Engine" resultó ser el príncipe de los desguaces. Problemas graves con los tensores de la cadena, carbonilla masiva en las válvulas de admisión y un consumo de aceite desmesurado que trajo de cabeza a los dueños de Mini y Peugeot. 10. Ford 1.0 EcoBoost (2012-2019): Un ejemplo moderno de cómo la eficiencia sale cara. La correa de distribución va bañada en el aceite del motor. Si el aceite se degrada, la goma de la correa se desprende, tapona la bomba de aceite y el motor se queda sin lubricación, autodestruyéndose en segundos. BONUS TRACK: El motor PureTech EB Serie (2012-2022) No podíamos cerrar este repaso sin hablar del polémico motor PureTech de PSA. Al igual que el modelo de Ford, este motor utiliza una correa de distribución sumergida en el aceite. La promesa era una reducción de la fricción y un funcionamiento más silencioso, pero la realidad física es que el aceite y la goma no suelen llevarse bien. Con el tiempo y el uso de aceites que no cumplen estrictamente la norma de la marca, la correa comienza a degradarse y a soltar filamentos de goma. Estos restos viajan por el circuito de lubricación hasta taponar la "alcachofa" de la bomba de aceite. El resultado es catastrófico: el motor pierde presión de golpe y se gripa. Es vital usar el aceite específico que no ataca a la goma y acortar los intervalos de mantenimiento si quieres que este motor sobreviva.

Music – Muzyka   "Muzyka" means "music," and in this micro-lesson you'll say it like you're front row at a Warsaw concert with your favorite playlist on repeat.   First you hear the word at native speed, then slowed down so you can master the soft "mu" and the flowing "zyka." We drop it into three earworm-ready sentences:   – "Kocham muzykę." (I love music.) – "To moja playlista." (This is my playlist.) – "Gram na gitarze." (I play guitar.)   Repeat-along track included—perfect while you queue Spotify, tune your instrument, or discover your next favorite Polish artist.   Challenge: Tell us in the comments what music YOU love and if you play any instruments—reply in Polish for bonus points.   What we Discussed: 0:00 Welcome & QR Code 0:45 "Muzyka" - The Polish Word for Music 1:30 Promoting Your Music 2:30 Music Problems & Solutions 3:30 Electronic & Digital Music 4:30 Instruments: Violin & Techno 5:30 Music Theory: Keys & Modes 6:30 Music Structure & Measures 7:30 Playlists & Spotify 8:30 Shazam & Music Discovery 9:30 Sharing Music 10:30 Music Mentorship 11:30 Home Studio Setup 12:30 Albums & Collections 13:30 Bonus Tracks & Extras 14:30 Testing Your Sound 15:30 Audio Engineering 16:30 Music Collaboration 17:30 Music Business & Customers 18:30 Music Journalism 19:30 Live Festivals 20:30 Techno & Electronic 21:30 Saxophone & Instruments 22:30 Music Rights & Consent 23:30 Music Journeys 24:30 Classical & Opera 25:30 Music Libraries 26:30 Family & Music 27:30 Spotify & Streaming 28:30 Clubs & Nightlife 29:30 Gaming Music 30:30 Record Stores 31:30 Active Listening 32:30 Musical Destiny 33:30 Gear: Amplifiers 34:30 Music Organization 35:30 Universal Music 36:30 Guitar Feature 37:30 Musical Talent 38:30 Your Turn to Practice

Send us a textThis is an excerpt from the first-ever Patreon-only episode of You, Me and An Album, aka Bonus Tracks. On the original version of this episode, Mary Beth and Al Melchior discuss four songs, two that Mary Beth experiences as sad and two that Al experiences as sad. Al's choices were “Getting Away With It (All Messed Up)" by James and “Murmurations” by Amy Millan. Mary Beth's were “Remember My Name” by Sons of Legion and “Hallelujah” by k.d. lang (specifically, her performance of the song at the 2005 Juno Awards). This excerpted version features the discussions of "Getting Away With It (All Messed Up)" and "Hallelujah." Mary Beth and Al wound up having very different reactions to each of the songs, and they try to figure out why each song made one of them sad but not the other.To hear k.d. lang's Juno Awards performance of "Hallelujah," you can find it on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_NpxTWbovE&list=RDP_NpxTWbovE&start_radio=1.Mary Beth has a wonderful poetry channel on YouTube!

We're getting festive today on Rhythm Encounter, but maybe not in the way you'd expect. It's the end of year holiday season, and we are taking inspiration from a holiday that celebrates another thing I like as much as video game music: books! Jólabókaflóðið — which roughly translates to "Christmas book flood" — is an Icelandic Christmas Eve tradition where people gift each other books and stay up reading them, possibly with a nice hot cocoa. We thought this was a great opportunity to provide some excellent video game music to pair with various authors, genres, and specific reads. Please join our assembled panel of connoisseurs as we discuss the two together. Happy reading, listening, and holidays!Featuring: Hilary Andreff, Rob White, Audra Bowling, and Matt Wardell; Edited by Mike SalbatoLinks and books mentioned in this episodeJólabókaflóðið official siteBetween Two Fires - Chris Buehlman (The Road x Dark Souls)Blade Runner “Ash” Comic Series (2019, 2029, 2039) - Michael Green and Mike JohnsonBrave Story - Miyuki MiyabeChronicles of the Avatar Series - F.C.
