Send us Fan MailMy guest on Thrive Solo this week is the completely fabulous Maryjane Fahey — and she is going to blow your socks off!Maryjane is 76 year old the creator of Glorious Broads, a platform that celebrates the audacious spirit of women who embrace aging with defiance, and where age is not but just a number, it's a badge of honour. The message of Glorious Broads is that ageing should not be a journey of fading into the background, because wonderful women over 50, 60, 70 and beyond still have SO much to share with and to offer this world. Maryjane previously worked in publishing, art directing, as well as rebranding and launching magazines from Women's Health to redesigning Tatler Asia, The Boston Globe. She has written for Bustle's TZR, Huffington Post, NPR, Next and co-authored a book called DUMPED. In our conversation, Maryjane and I talk about everything from why she loathes the term ‘invisible' for older women, living in the moment and why she loves Eckhart Tolle, how her attitude towards romantic love is very different now than it was when she was younger, the unconventional relationship she has with a man she chooses not to live with, and how the best sex of her life happened after she turned 60. Prepare yourselves to LOVE this force of a woman. Follow Glorious Broads on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gloriousbroads/?hl=enFollow Glorious Broads on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@glorious.broadsFollow Glorious Broads on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gloriousbroads Support the showBuy my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/bookJoin my membership community for single women, Thrive Solo: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/thrivesoloDownload my FREE PDF 'Top 10 Comebacks for the MostAnnoying Questions Single Women Get Asked' Go to: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/comebacksCheck out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thrivesolowithlucymeggeson Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=shareFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrivesolowithlucymeggeson/Email me: lucy@lucymeggeson.com And thank you so much for listening!

Aycee Brown is a psychic channel, medium, spiritual guide, and teacher dedicated to helping people unlock their most magical lives. Known as the "Voice of Truth" for her ability to connect individuals with their divine source, Aycee works with those at life's crossroads, guiding them to find clarity, meaning, and a path forward. Her expertise on the role human design, spirituality, and astrology play in relationships has been featured in major outlets like Cosmopolitan, Brides, and Bustle. In February 2026, she shared her profound insights with a wider audience through the release of her debut book, Embody Your Magic, a powerful blueprint for breaking free from conditioning and embracing one's most authentic self. Rooted in a lifetime of spiritual discovery — including gifts she traces back to childhood — Aycee has also explored her healing gifts through the podcast Is My Aura On Straight?. In this episode, host Shay Beider and Aycee Brown explore the profound tools and teachings Aycee has gathered across a lifetime of spiritual work — insights now woven throughout Embody Your Magic. Aycee shares her concept of "The Canyon," a framework for shadow work that isn't a one-time destination but a place we return to throughout life's biggest transitions, and she explains why knowing your story — including what was happening in your family long before you arrived — is the most powerful starting point for any healing journey. The duo discuss psychic channeling, mediumship, and the idea that we all have access to our higher selves and passed loved ones, as well as practical tools like human design, astrology, life path numbers, automatic writing, and Internal Family Systems therapy. Together, Shay and Aycee reflect on how healing asks us first to tell the truth, how our "I am" shapes our destiny, and how embracing our full selves — every part, every lineage, every wound — is not the end of the journey, but the beginning of living our magic.

Emily Henry was forced to break her silence on the "Not My Gus" casting backlash for Beach Read—and the careful way she refused to defend Patrick Schwarzenegger is telling us everything.Meanwhile, Miles Teller dropped a bomb at Cannes about why he refuses to do any written magazine profiles ever again, and it all traces back to a 2015 Esquire hit piece that called him "kind of a dick". We're unpacking the full context of that profile, how it defined his entire early career, and whether the writer deserves a redemption arc. Here is the horrendously awkward profile piece he is referencing. Then, we're diving deep into Mindy Kaling's jaw-dropping Bustle profile—because the real story isn't what she said, it's what those framed photos on her desk are telling us. Three photos of her kids, plus one strategic selfie with BJ Novak. Plus, we're breaking down her thoughts on motherhood, her weight loss, and whether she's made peace with her fairytale not looking like the rom-coms she grew up obsessing over.

Grief is something every one of us will face at some point, and yet most of us have no idea what to say when someone is hurting. In this episode, I'm joined by Shelby Forsythia, a grief coach, author, and host of the Grief Grower podcast. Shelby shares her own story of profound loss and how it shaped the work she does today, helping people navigate grief in a way that actually honors what they are going through. We talk about why so many common phrases miss the mark, what grieving people are really experiencing beneath the surface, and how grief doesn't just affect your emotions, it changes your identity. Shelby also breaks down the three simple phrases that can completely shift how you support someone in pain. If you've ever felt unsure of what to say, or worried about saying the wrong thing, this conversation will give you a clearer path forward.

Bustle is a female-focused media brand aimed at 20-30 year olds who want to live a big life.

On Thursday, April 30 BigTentUSA hosted Amb. Rahm Emanuel in a candid discussion moderated by Rachel Janfaza of "The Up and Up".In the discussion, Amb. Emanuel argued that corruption and dysfunction have become normalized in American politics, eroding trust at home and credibility abroad. His core message: the country doesn't need more partisan reruns—it needs results.He laid out his vision for middle-class economics, strong public education, public safety, and restoring faith in institutions. He connected big-picture concerns—like global competition and democratic stability—to urgent domestic failures, especially in education, where declining literacy rates threaten long-term opportunity and economic strength.Amb. Emanuel also previewed his “six for '26” agenda focused on raising wages, lowering health care costs, and enforcing real ethics reforms, while drawing a sharp contrast with both Trumpism and ideological extremes within his own party.The bottom line: Deliver results, rebuild trust, and prove government can work again.Check out our ACT NOW page for BigTentUSA guidance on how to fight back against ICE detention centers in your area and other calls to action:https://bigtentusa.org/act-now/ Sign up for Rachel's newsletter “The Up and Up”:https://www.theupandup.us/ ABOUT THE SPEAKERS:Amb.

Faith is an element of society that intersects with a lot of other structures of power and privilege -- So what do we need to think about when incorporating real-world religions into our fantasy worlds and stories? Guest Vaishnavi Patel joins us to discuss Using cultures of faith respectfully but not fearfully! From gender roles to the afterlife, from guiding moral compasses to provoking conflict, religion has the potential to affect many different components of your characters' lives, whether they are themselves particularly devout or not. Does it put restrictions on their bodily autonomy, the jobs they can hold, or their social class? What role do religious rituals play in daily life -- or in holidays and special events? We also discuss how these considerations can influence character arcs, like crises of faith, redemption arcs, and social reformation. [Transcript for Episode 179] Our Guest: Vaishnavi Patel is the New York Times and internationally bestselling author of Kaikeyi, Goddess of the River, and Ten Incarnations of Rebellion. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, Bustle, Paste, Ms. Magazine, and Buzzfeed. She is a lawyer specializing in constitutional law and civil rights, including issues of gender and racial justice. She has lived in five states in the last five years, but Chicago is home.

Too often, those of us with ADHD (and, honestly, just about anyone striving for success) fall into the “check the box and move on” mentality, downplaying our achievements and racing toward the next goal. Sound familiar? In this episode, host Diann Wingert and returning guest Risa Williams, LMFT, challenge listeners to radically rethink what counts as a win. What if making a sandwich, sending a tough email, or—even better—taking a moment for self-care, can be celebrated as much as those big, flashy milestones? If you've ever felt like your wins don't "count," or you're stuck on the productivity treadmill, this episode is your sign to embrace a kinder, more sustainable approach.3 key takeaways from our conversation:Redefine Productivity: Success isn't just about big goals—it's about acknowledging every step, even the small ones. Practicing this daily fosters confidence and decreases imposter syndrome and chronic dissatisfaction.Combat Dismissiveness: Many of us grew up being dismissed or dismissing ourselves. Start catching that dismissive inner voice. Replace it with gentle validation—give yourself credit the way you'd celebrate a friend's progress.Track and Celebrate Progress: Write down 3–5 tiny accomplishments every day. Over time, this simple act retrains your brain to notice and remember your efforts, fueling motivation and staving off burnout.Mic Drop Moment:Many high achievers with ADHD also battle imposter syndrome.

Too often, those of us with ADHD (and, honestly, just about anyone striving for success) fall into the “check the box and move on” mentality, downplaying our achievements and racing toward the next goal. Sound familiar? In this episode, host Diann Wingert and returning guest Risa Williams, LMFT, challenge listeners to radically rethink what counts as a win. What if making a sandwich, sending a tough email, or—even better—taking a moment for self-care, can be celebrated as much as those big, flashy milestones? If you've ever felt like your wins don't "count," or you're stuck on the productivity treadmill, this episode is your sign to embrace a kinder, more sustainable approach.3 key takeaways from our conversation:Redefine Productivity: Success isn't just about big goals—it's about acknowledging every step, even the small ones. Practicing this daily fosters confidence and decreases imposter syndrome and chronic dissatisfaction.Combat Dismissiveness: Many of us grew up being dismissed or dismissing ourselves. Start catching that dismissive inner voice. Replace it with gentle validation—give yourself credit the way you'd celebrate a friend's progress.Track and Celebrate Progress: Write down 3–5 tiny accomplishments every day. Over time, this simple act retrains your brain to notice and remember your efforts, fueling motivation and staving off burnout.Mic Drop Moment:Many high achievers with ADHD also battle imposter syndrome. Why? Because they literally cannot remember the many incremental steps it took to get results. If you don't witness your own progress, you can't internalize your success.

Biohacking promises longer life, sharper cognition, and faster recovery—but which strategies are actually supported by science? In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Neil Paulvin, a New York–based, board-certified physician specializing in longevity and regenerative medicine, to separate evidence-based optimization from internet hype.Known as “the peptide doc,” Dr. Paulvin explains why popular biological age tests often lack consistency and why functional markers—such as sleep quality, grip strength, visceral fat, and cardiovascular metrics—offer a clearer picture of long-term health. The discussion breaks down the “Core Four” lifestyle pillars for longevity, with sleep highlighted as the single most powerful driver of metabolic, hormonal, and cognitive resilience.They also explore peptide therapy, including BPC-157 for gut health and inflammation, the Wolverine Stack for injury repair, Tesamorelin for visceral fat, and emerging mitochondrial peptides shaping the future of cellular medicine. Dr. Paulvin explains why AI tools like ChatGPT are not yet capable of replacing clinical judgment and shares insights into what's coming next in longevity science.Whether you're new to biohacking or refining an advanced health optimization protocol, this episode delivers a grounded, clinically informed roadmap to improving biological age, cellular health, and performance.

What happens when you stop looking for love and start finding yourself? In this episode, Jennifer sits down with author and New Hampshire transplant Abby Rosmarin in Concord, NH, to talk about the year that changed her life: 2023, the Year of Dating Herself.After a string of tumultuous relationships that left her gaslit, depleted, and sitting in a bathtub wondering how she got there, Abby made a radical decision — to spend an entire year intentionally single, intentionally present, and intentionally devoted to her own company. The result? A healing journey she never could have predicted, a book, and a relationship she never knew was possible.From solo concerts and dining alone for the first time to impulsive ear piercings and sunrise coffee dates by the lake, Abby shares the raw, funny, and deeply human story of what it looks like to truly date yourself — awkwardness, check-engine-light moments, and all. She and Jennifer also dive into the pressures women face around singlehood, the power of therapy and self-reflection, codependency and healing, and what it really means to show up for yourself before you can fully show up for anyone else.

Welcome back to the next installment of my Client Testimonial series, where we hear from my 1:1 personal training clients about their experience working with me, and how they've transformed their body/mind/soul via strength training.In this episode, we discuss Parisa's longing for a competitive athletic outlet in adulthood, how strength training finally alleviated her chronic pain, and how getting strong has transformed not only her physical body but also the way she moves through the world.This episode is for: lifelong athletes who don't feel challenged enough in adult team sports, those living with chronic pain who are curious if strength training could solve it for good, people whose past experiences with personal training felt random and disconnected, and anyone who's wasted years of their life picking apart their body in the mirror and are ready to build a new relationship with themselves from the inside out

In this electrifying episode of The Feminine Frequency, Amy Natalie is joined by psychic, intuitive, and author Aycee Brown to celebrate the release of her debut book, Embody Your Magic. Together, they peel back the layers of societal "protective armor" to reveal the inherent psychic gifts we are all born with.Aycee shares her journey of growing up in a lineage of intuitive women, dissecting dreams at her grandmother's kitchen table, and learning to trust the "aggressive" clarity of her inner vision. The conversation serves as a powerful reminder that while systems like the patriarchy and religion may attempt to numb a woman's truth, that magic is always accessible—it just requires the courage to let the "old self" die so the "new self" can lead.Themes:We are all born psychic, much like babies and animals, until society and "protective armor" numb our natural sensitivity.How traditional religious structures often prioritize external rules over a woman's internal guidance system.Navigating the space between your spiritual awakening and the societal pressure to doubt your own reality.Reconnecting with your truth starts by asking yourself if you actually want the life you've built or if you're living out someone else's vision.Why "getting it wrong" is actually Spirit's way of redirecting you toward your true path.Instead of quitting your job, start with small "breadcrumbs"—taking a class or exploring a hobby—to allow your purpose to unfold naturally.Real success requires an "ego death," where you must lovingly release the old version of yourself to make room for your new trajectory.Success is not a one-size-fits-all metric; it must be defined by your individual core values, such as community, security, or family.

The 2026 season of The Unfolding: Presented by The Loveland Foundation Podcast kicks off with a profound shift in perspective. In our premiere episode, host Rachel Keener sits down with renowned astrologer and author Aycee Brown (whose highly anticipated book Embody Your Magic drops February 17, 2026).Forget the "fix-it" horoscopes of the past. Aycee and Rachel dive into astrology as a radical tool for self-inhabitation: learning to trust the person you already are rather than trying to "correct" your cosmic design.Aycee shares how astrology became a grounding language during her teen years and how she now reads charts through a mental health lens, focusing on the 6th, 8th, and 12th houses. Using Rachel's chart as an example, they discuss family dynamics, grief, emotional processing, and ancestral connection.As we reflect on the collective grief that has lingered since 2020, this episode serves as a gentle call to return to trust and consistency. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or a cosmic skeptic, join us for a grounded, soul-stirring conversation on what it means to show up for yourself and your community.Listen in for a grounded conversation on astrology, mental health, and collective care.More about Aycee Brown:Aycee Brown is a psychic channel, medium, spiritual guide, and teacher dedicated to helping people unlock their most magical lives. Known as the “Voice of Truth” for her ability to connect individuals with their divine source, Aycee works with those at life's crossroads, guiding them to find clarity, meaning, and a path forward.Aycee's expertise on the role human design, spirituality, and astrology play in relationships has been featured in major outlets like Cosmopolitan, Brides, and Bustle. And in February 2026, she'll share her profound insights with a wider audience through the release of her debut book, Embody Your Magic.

Guest Bio: Mary Marantz is the bestselling author of Dirt and Underestimated, as well as the host of the popular podcast The Mary Marantz Show. She grew up in a trailer in rural West Virginia and was the first in her family to go to college before going to Yale for law school. Her work has been featured on CNN, MSN, Business Insider, Bustle, Thrive Global, Southern Living, Hallmark Home & Family, and more. She and her husband, Justin, live in an 1880s fixer-upper by the sea in New Haven, Connecticut, with their two very fluffy golden retrievers, Goodspeed and Atticus. Show Summary: Do you ever feel like you're running a never-ending race as you try to achieve things or work for things that seem out of reach? Mary Marantz spent most of her life striving for success in her career and was never satisfied with the results, even when they were great. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they take a peek behind the curtain of Mary's life and find out how she eventually learned to pursue God instead of success during this God Hears Her conversation.  Notes and Quotes:  “No matter how hard you run, you can't outrun you.” —Mary Marantz  “Burnout is not coasting off the side of the road, running out of gas gently. It's 90 miles an hour and then you slam into a brick wall and the transmission falls out. It is a very sudden stop.” —Mary Marantz  “Wisdom finally gets a chance to take root because you're just too tired to have these tightly gripped fists anymore.” —Mary Marantz  “I've had to learn that lesson over and over again of just how quickly I wilt and wither when I'm not abiding, when I'm not tethered to the vine, when I am just a branch trying to grow fruit on my own. How quickly I struggle in the drought, how quickly I stop bearing fruit when I'm away from the water.” —Mary Marantz  Verses:  Jeremiah 17:8  John 15:1-17  Related Episodes:  GHH Ep 2 – The Beauty of Broken with Elisa Morgan: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/beauty-of-broken/ GHH Ep 69 – Finding Inner Peace with Kay Wills Wyma: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/finding-inner-peace/ GHH Ep 169 – Learning to Surrender with Tara Sun: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/learning-to-surrender/ Links:  Mary Marantz's Website: https://marymarantz.com/ God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191  Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM

Shelby Forsythia, a grief coach and author of Of Course I'm Here Right Now: Three Actually Helpful Things to Say to Someone Grieving, joins Mary B to offer practical guidance on how to show up for people in grief. When unsure of the “right” words, many people default to silence rather than risk saying the wrong thing, often leaving grievers feeling isolated. Shelby's work aims to interrupt that pattern. The title of her book is structured around three simple statements: Of course. I'm here. Right now. These serve as guideposts for offering genuine, supportive language. Shelby also explores the idea of collateral grief, the secondary losses that often accompany a primary grief event, such as routines, relationships, or imagined futures. Together, Mary B and Shelby examine a form of grief that is frequently minimized in our culture: the grief that follows the end of a friendship or relationship.Shelby Forsythia (she/her) is a grief coach, author, and podcast host. In 2020, she founded Life After Loss Academy, an online course and community that has helped dozens of grievers grow and find their way after death, divorce, diagnosis, and other major life transitions.Following her mother's death in 2013, Shelby began calling herself a “student of grief” and now devotes her days to reading, writing, and speaking about loss. Through a combination of mindfulness tools and intuitive, open-ended questions, she guides her clients to welcome grief as a teacher and create meaningful lives that honor and include the heartbreaks they've faced. Her work has been featured in Huffington Post, Bustle, and The Oprah Magazine.Preorder your copy of Of Course I'm Here Right Now wherever you buy books.

This playlist is 67% vinyl friendly. Poor. ‘In the year 2021, few turntables have captured the essence of that time the way that the Old Future Turntable and Speaker has. The silhouette of the player itself pays homage to ’70s architecture in Seoul. Slanted roofs were common during that era, and when you place the turntable and speaker side-by-side, they look like part of a ’70s city skyline. Some vinyl-lovers may not like this product initially because a flat, horizontal turntable would be preferred for sound quality. For those who care about audio quality over aesthetics, the turntable's legs are adjustable, so you can make the table more even‘. – yankodesign.com Looks like it could more readily blow out hot and cold air than music. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms tweak/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a bit dodgy, quality-wise. On top of that, the switch between different decades and production values never helps in the mix here. Lyric of Playlist 147 ‘Observational, not sexist‘ noted Jean-Jacques Burnel. 00.00 (Intro) THE FLAMINGOS – Stars (Edit) – Unreleased demo – 1983. Episode #1 for info. 00.41 NEW ORDER – Face Up – Low-life, LP – Factory – 1985 Face Up? More like Jump up, given the NO audience reaction when the chorus kicks in. 05.25 THE YOUNG GODS – Mes Yeux De Tous – Appear Disappear, 2LP – Two Gentlemen Records – 2025 Given that in the mid ’80s they were initially loosely bandied around in the same ‘industrial’ bag as my ‘charges’ Click Click I’ve heard very little of their lengthy and regular catalogue. This though is a mighty tune. 09.19 BLAWAN – Toast – Dismantled Into Juice, 12″ EP – XL Recordings – 2023 Nicely odd, with a ‘chorus’ that makes me smile. 11.56 BASETANK – Got Some Skills – The New Breed, v/artists promo only CD – Detonation – 1999 If it wasn’t for the 35 year age gap I might have said the vocalist on Got Some Skills and the modern day Microwave Man and his electric dirt bike online ‘Let Me Tell You Something, right?‘ words of wisdom sketches were of the same family. 15.44 9 LAZY 9: Turn Me Loose; UP, BUSTLE & OUT: Nightwalk; DJ FOOD: Klutes Groove; DJ TOOLZ: Rusty Goes GaGa; FUNKI PORCINI: It’s A Long Road – The Morning After The Night Before (one half of a CD free with DJ magazine – 1994 Old skool mixing from Cold Cut. ‘It’s (been) a long road… ‘ indeed. 22.00 HERCULES & LOVE AFFAIR (feat HIPS & LIPS) – Someone Else Is Calling, 12″ EP – Stratasonic – 2025 The sort of hypnotic beats that could have fitted in with a Winkles, Bedford set list back in the ’80s… although someone might point a sound or two here didn’t exist back then. 26.12 FUNKY GREEN DOGS – The Way * – 12″ – Twisted – 1997 ‘Anyone who ever liked That Sound from the Murk camp will like this just as much, even if they do whinge that it’s very similar to their previous favourite. The original is the heart-winner with its quivering vocal and acid-meets-funk groove, but the mixes are all attractive in their respective ways – Farley & Heller plod sweetly, Canadian Crash Productions do something along the same lines. Dirty White Boy rock and roll and Club 69 kick up a noisy messy rumpus. The best track of all is possibly the excellent FGD way-out beats. **** Daisy & Havoc, Record Mirror (Music Week), 10.5.97 Tough, liquidy goings on from the Murk camp. I was a fan. 32.51 JOY – Fragile Space – 7″ – DB-Low – 2000 ‘Isaac Hayes meets Led Zeppelin‘ ran the press release for Joy Jones’ one-off (at the time) dip into music, and there’s something sad about a single of substance that didn’t do enough for the artist to build on. 35.52 TALKING HEADS – Listening Wind – Remain In Light, LP – Sire – 1980 Just checked. This is the last in a near complete run of the album’s tracks making it to 41 Rooms. So, that must make Remain In Light a bit of a classic to my ears. 39.36 THE SOULSAVERS – Rumblefish – Beginning To See The Dark 12″ – Ghost Ride Music – 2002 The sort of drifting beats thing that would crop up late night/early morning on KISS FM or maybe Ross Allen radio shows of the time. 43.28 BETHANY & RUFUS – 900 Miles – 900 Miles, CD only – Little Monster Records – 2005 With Bethany being the daughter of ’60s folk group, Peter Paul and Mary’s Pete Yarrow, an ancient tune reworked. And it’s a cello apparently, not a double bass. 46.48 STARGARD – (Theme Song From) Which Way Is Up – 7″ – MCA -1977 As funky now as the day it was delivered. I was 20… and this would have been hitting someone’s decks at Bedford’s Nite Spot, Spectrum, Pilgrims, The Anglers’ Laird bar and elsewhere out of town I went. 51.29 THE STAPLE SINGERS – I’ll Take You There – 7″ – Stax – 1972 They never let on where exactly ‘there’ is but with their gospel background we can maybe guess. Good luck with it. 55.30 CARLA THOMAS – Things Ya Make Me Do (Summer Mix) – 12″ – Ruff Justice – 1994 Not the ’60s Stax label Carla Thomas but it’d be nice to think this CT’s parents had that lady in mind when naming this lady. What might have been tagged ‘street soul’… and possibly out of Manchester, UK. 59.06 THOMAS DYBDAHL – All’s Not Lost – That Great October Sound, CD only – Checkpoint Charlie Audio Productions – 2001 Delicate sounds from Norway. 01.04.06 PURESSENCE – Don’t Know Any Better – 7″ – Reaction Records – 2008 James Mudriczki’s vocal… 01.07.22 DAVID SYLVIAN – Nostalgia – Brilliant Trees, LP – Virgin – 1994 Post Japan, his first solo album making its mark in fine style. It was unlikely to do otherwise. 01.12.57 JOY DIVISION – Insight – The Peel Sessions, 12″EP – Strange Fruit – 1986 Peel sessions sort of mimicked a live gig recording at its crystal clear best… this one included. 01.16.50 SIOUXSIE and THE BANSHEES – Christine (Warner Chappell demo) – Kaleidoscope, CD only – Polydor – 2006 With everyone and everything here ‘battling’ to be the most understated – and with it all quite possibly recorded in a rehearsal room, on the likes of (say) a 4-track Portastudio – this is as demo’ish as a major act’s demo could sound back then. 01.19.32 THE FLAMINGOS – Shone Like The Sun #3 (unreleased demo) – 1984 With Cliff (Peacock) in Scott Walker-mode there were a few versions of this tune and to these ears it sounds even better now than it did back then. In effect the above might have doubled as my 27th birthday party and Shone Like The Sun was very likely on the Flamingos set list. 01.24.12 THE WAKE – Make You Understand – Here Comes Everybody, CD only comp – Factory Benelux – 2015 Recorded for a Feb ’84 BBC Radio 1 session for David/Kid Jensen and played live but the former only ever surfaced on the above. Stephen, Mac, Carolyn and Caesar: Winkles, Bedford, 13.11.83 Photo credit/copyright: Dec Hickey 01.26.33 LITTLE NEMO – Bed In Summer – La Cassette Froide, split cassette (with Rain Culture) – self released – 1986 Not the first European band in the mid to late ’80s to have sounded as if heavily influenced by UK bands of the early ’80s and with a track only to be found on this cassette. I won’t be acquiring one any time soon. 01.30.27 THE STRANGLERS – London Lady – 7″ – United Artists – 1977 Yep, Jean-Jacques Burnel with a lyric or two (well, one in particular) that we youth most probably laughed through back in the day but now would maybe slightly wince at. The times… 01.32.52 ELVIS COSTELLO – (I Don’t Want To Go To) Chelsea – 7″ – Radar – 1978 I had a brief moment with Declan’s singles around this time… and you had to admire the balls of a musician who wanted to strike out as an Elvis. 01.35.53 THE SUB ENSEMBLE – Faster Than The Sun (Domu Remix) – Download only – 2008 Very short-lived crew aided and abetted here by acclaimed Bedford-based (then, anyway) DJ, producer, remixer, Domu. 01.41.01 JAZZ THE GLASS – 16 Seconds – Download only, Soundcloud – 2019 A 41 Rooms regular, with another winner. Dave reminded me it uses a sample from a US boy band. I think it was a white label 12″ with anonymous writing (just initials?), that I took a punt on at no more than 20p. 01.44.47 FPI PROJECT – Come On (And Do It) (TC Funky Mix) – 12″ – Synthetic Records – 1993 ‘Tremendous funky Italian offering as ever from those talented members of Ital’s most consistent band. Chocca full of good alternative mixes, including a wicked guitar ladened TC Funky mix… ‘ – Kenny Grogan, Mixmag Update, 28.4.93 ‘Everything you love/hate about Italian records in double helpings. Very FPI Project but bang on time with its riffing flamenco-style guitar and a bundle of irresistibly funked up mixes firm Mother-man Lee Fisher, which include a wonderful reinvention of the bouncy original into a big booming beast of a track‘. Matthew Cole, Record Mirror (Music Week), 10.7.93 ‘Girl chanted powerful Hamilton Bohannon-ish happy party pounder’s original Gypsy Kings-like guitars strummed 125bpm Official, 125.2bpm Gipsy, TC 1993 wukka-wukked 125.2bpm TC Funky Mixes, new sax squawked jerkily percussive building 124.9bpm Mothers At Work Remix and Dub‘. – James Hamilton, Record Mirror (Music Week), 7.8.93 As mentioned on the show, a one and a bit trick pony but sometimes a funky break and some vocal snippets is all you need for some head nodding bizniz. 01.49.36 CHEZ DAMIER & CO-INSIDE – Give A Little Love (Made In Detroit Mix) – The United States EP, 12″ – t:ime – 1993 ‘Nottingham’s Sine boys have always (worn) worthier US influences on their sleeves. This time they make a more permanent connection with two excellent transatlantic collaborations. Their Made In Detroit Mix of Give A Little Love by Chez Damier & Co-Inside is a supremely cool organ-washed garage groove with the repeated title line drifting in and out of the mix. It becomes less mellow and more dubby as it progresses…‘ – Andy Beevers, Record Mirror (Music Week), 4.9.93 And yet another tune with a minimal use of different lyrics… and here you’re not getting the full nine minutes they’re spread over on the 12″. Still, jaunty US house with a bit of a UK ’90s garage’y feel… and I think I edited out some frogs sounds. 01.53.15 THE REESE PROJECT – The Colour of Love (Groove Corporation Trance Mix) * – 12″ – Network – 1992 ‘Even by his own standards, Kevin Saunderson is having a good year. With Inner City firmly re-established as one of the world’s leading dance acts, he now takes the limelight under his alter-ego for what will be one of the biggest tunes of the year. The Deep Reese mix (featured on the Network ‘Elixir Vitae’ double pack extravaganza that some might say is their apology for KWS) is still the one for me. The coffee table intro soaring into a menacing groove with the hookiest of vocal samples… bliss. But wait, let us not forget Groove (aka Electribe 101) Corporation’s four mixes full of true British grit and trance appeal… ‘ – Dave Seaman ****1/2 Mixmag Update, July 9, ’92. ‘Kevin ‘Master Reese’ Saunderson’s powerful Rachel Kapp wailed Club Chart topper is now out on one single in brilliant swimming bass pulsed wriggly warbling 121.6bpm Magic Juan Atkins Mix, gospelishly started hypnotically chugging (0-)123.4bpm Deep Reese Mix, piano plonked 121.6-121.5bpm Underground Resistance Mix, repetitively stuttered Kym Sims-ish 122-122.1bpm MK Deep Dub, good insistently rolling 114.7-114.8bpm Groove Corporation Trance Mix and bass bubbled blippy 114.9-114.8bpm Groove Corporation Wobble Dub, while the first of the separate promos had its throbbing somehow then steady 115bpm Vocal (Trance Mix) and 115-114.9bpm Acid Revival (Wobble Dub), plus alternative swirlingly chugging 115bpm Plae Blue Mix and Instrumental Groove Corporation 021 Remixes‘. – James Hamilton, Record Mirror (Music Week), 1.8.92 Slinky Saunderson… and albeit it the same theme, a thousand miles from Terry Callier’s What Colour Is Love in every other way.

Sometimes in the busyness of the holiday season, you just need to take a pause. One way is to listen to Louie Giglio's Advent devotional, Waiting Here For You.  Hearing Frank Sinatra croon 'Mistletoe and Holly" had Bill thinking about the old days when folks would wait to buy their Christmas tree until closer to December 25th.  Carmen was listening to her devotional on the way in and heard a name that had her taking a pause to learn more about.  If you could use a little...

If the holidays leave you feeling more stressed than joyful, you're not alone.

When a mother heard her own voice from five hours earlier coming through her baby monitor, she realized she was witnessing something that shouldn't be possible—a tear in time itself. What would you do if you walked into a movie theater and suddenly jumped three hours forward, or if your car transported 20 miles in an instant to escape a traffic stop? A Victorian man appears in 1950s Times Square, two women slip back to Marie Antoinette's era, and a father and son lose an entire day in five minutes. These people swear they've experienced time slips, dimensional rifts, and impossible jumps through time—and their stories might make you question reality itself.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE for the ad-free version: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: Time travel, time slips, lost time, traveling to other dimensions and realities.
