Ever since the earliest known recording of whale song was made in 1949, researchers have been captivated by the wails, rumbles, clicks, grunts and squeals of their communication. As technology improves, scientists are decoding the intricate patterns that make different species' vocalisations distinctive. Madeleine Finlay hears from Emma Bryce, a journalist who has spent months investigating human efforts to understand whale song. She explains how this knowledge could help us better protect whales from human-made harms. Credits: 1. Copyright 1978 National Geographic Society and 1977 Capitol Records, Inc.

Continuing our I Love the 90s series, we move on to 1992, when Batman Returns and Wayne's World ruled the multiplex and Bill Clinton got saxy on The Arsenio Hall Show. Don and Dude drop the needle on one gritty, G funk hip hop album and one crushing heavy metal release that show the evolution of both genres, connecting both records to a world of the Dream Team dominating the Olympics, Mortal Kombat draining quarters at the arcade and Johnny Carson signing off from The Tonight Show.The AlbumsDr. Dre – The Chronic (1992)After leaving Ruthless Records and co-founding Death Row Records with Suge Knight, Dr. Dre used his solo debut to introduce G-funk, building slow, heavy grooves from Parliament-Funkadelic samples, live keyboards and Moog synthesizer lines. The album opens with the mission-statement intro "The Chronic," moves through the diss track "Fuck wit Dre Day," the cruising anthem "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" that introduced Snoop Doggy Dogg, and the Grammy winning "Let Me Ride," before closing on the hidden bonus cut "Bitches Ain't Shit." Shaped by the tension of the 1992 Los Angeles riots and Dre's split from Ruthless, The Chronic plays as a genre defining record that launched Snoop's stardom and set the template for West Coast hip hop.Megadeth – Countdown to Extinction (1992)Formed by Dave Mustaine after leaving Metallica, Megadeth used its fifth album, produced by Max Norman and released July 14, 1992 on Capitol Records, to trade pure thrash speed for tighter song structures and broader themes of war, addiction and environmental destruction. The record opens with the aggressive "Skin o' My Teeth," moves through the signature single "Symphony of Destruction," the internally conflicted "Sweating Bullets," and the farm crisis ballad "Foreclosure of a Dream," before closing on the ambitious, thrash leaning "Ashes in Your Mouth." Recorded in Los Angeles the same week as the Rodney King riots, Countdown to Extinction hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and became Megadeth's commercial breakthrough, proving technical metal could thrive alongside grunge.Diggin AlbumsFinn Wolfhard – Fire From The Hip (2026):The Stranger Things actor's second solo album, co-written and co-produced with Clay Frankel, Cadien Lake James and Colin Croom, pairs bright, hook filled indie rock guitars with introspective songwriting about growing up and changing relationships.Jeffrey Gaines – Jeffrey Gaines (1992):The Harrisburg singer songwriter's self-titled debut, produced by David Kershenbaum, introduced his soulful blend of acoustic driven rock, heartfelt ballads and expressive vocals on standout tracks like "Hero in Me" and "Headmasters of Mine."Echo & the Bunnymen – Apples for Isaac (2026):The Liverpool post punk band's first collection of new songs since 2014's Meteorites, produced by Ian McCulloch, features drumming from Blondie's Clem Burke on ten of its eleven tracks, recorded before his death in 2025.Billy Strings – So Much for Goodbyes (2026):The flatpicking bluegrass guitarist's new album, produced alongside T Bone Burnett in their first collaboration together, is dedicated to his late mother Debra Apostol, whose own artwork appears on the cover.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support the podcast by subscribing, rating, reviewing and sharing it with another music obsessive who still loves hearing whole albums front to back."Are you crying?

fWotD Episode 3367: Bleed American Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 24 July 2026, is Bleed American.Bleed American is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Jimmy Eat World, released on July 24, 2001, by DreamWorks Records. The album was re-released as Jimmy Eat World following the September 11 attacks; that name remained until 2008, when it was re-released with its original title returned.Following the commercial failure and lack of recognition for their third album Clarity (1999) from Capitol Records, Jimmy Eat World were dropped by the label in late 1999. Aside from working odd jobs, the band toured to raise money for their next album. It was recorded with Mark Trombino and the band served as producers in October and November 2000 at the Cherokee and Harddrive studios in Los Angeles, respectively. The musical style was more direct and accessible than its predecessor, with simpler chord structures."Bleed American" was released to radio on June 5, 2001, as the album's lead single, coinciding with Jimmy Eat World's tours of Australia and Japan (the latter supporting Eastern Youth). After appearing on the East Coast dates of the Warped Tour, the band supported Blink-182 and Weezer. "The Middle" was released as a single in October 2001. The band went on a headlining European tour in early 2002, followed by a Japanese tour, leading up to a two-month support slot for Blink-182 and Green Day on their Pop Disaster Tour. "Sweetness" was released as the third single on June 3, 2002. The band supported Incubus in Australia, before embarking on headlining tours of the UK and the US. "A Praise Chorus" was released as a promotional single during 2002.Each single from Bleed American entered the top twenty of at least one US chart. The most successful was "The Middle", which reached number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and number five on the Billboard Hot 100. In August 2002, Bleed American was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) after its sales reached over one million copies. As of September 2016, the album has sold over 1.6 million copies in the US. Bleed American was well-received by critics and appeared on several publications' best-of-the-year album lists, by the likes of CMJ New Music Report and Q, as well as all-time lists by publications such as Consequence of Sound, NME and Spin.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:10 UTC on Friday, 24 July 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Bleed American on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Aditi.

Send us Fan MailThis week on the podcast Paul Leary, guitarist for the Butthole Surfers stops by the show to discuss the release of After the Astronaut (Out Today), revisiting the archives, the documentary and more. *****In 1998, when BUTTHOLE SURFERS followed up their 1996 mainstream breakthrough Electric Larryland with their next record entitled AFTER THE ASTRONAUT, the major label they were signed to at the time pulled it from their release schedule at the last minute. Their reasoning? They wanted a more “commercial” record. Had that label known Butthole Surfers' oeuvre better, they probably shouldn't have expected another “Pepper” (their #1 Billboard Modern Rock from 1996). Instead, After the Astronaut was shelved… until now when Sunset Blvd. releases that mythic and much-discussed follow-up on June 26, 2026. “We were pretty stoked to make another album after the success of our previous album and its single ‘Pepper',” recalls guitarist Paul Leary. “Capitol Records was stoked to get that next record until our relationship soured.” After some legal wrangling, Butthole Surfers were released from the major label's roster and their contract was sold. “Hollywood Records bought the album but wanted to make changes to it which was an uncomfortable experience for us,” he notes (the reconfigured and reworked album was eventually released as Weird Revolution in 2001). “Now we have the right to release the original recording the way we intended it to be with its original title, After The Astronaut.”Reacting to the grunge/altrock sludge that was populating the airwaves, Leary, drummer King Coffey and vocalist Gibby Haynes pulled away from the style that was surfacing and, instead, submerged their creativity deeper into electronics, industrial beats, acid grooves, and other synthesized sci-fi sounds. “After the Astronaut was a fun project," says Coffey. "We were using all the digital toys at our disposal at the time, and it felt much like the creation of Locust Abortion (1987). We were playing with new toys, creating things that amused us with the crayons we had, and we weren't worried about radio airplay. It felt like we were going back to our experimental roots while still navigating the major label ecosystem."  Kicking off with Haynes' spoken word intro where he announces “I stand as a messenger of strangeness this evening in order to impress upon or at least to instruct the honorable musicians as to the methods and motives of the truly bizarre reality,” “Weird Revolution launches into a trippy and psychedelic cacophony of distorted guitar and beat-heavy rhythms that sets the tone for the record. The syncopated vocals of “Intelligent Guy” veers into proto-industrial synth grunge territory, grimy and dirty with a pulsating, mechanized beat. First single “Jet Fighter” finds the band in a surf-punk mood, exploring lo-fi dadaist psych rock filtered through a thrift store PA system, which originated, as Leary remembers, “when I purchased a 12-string electric guitar and wanted to play it.” It's the unnatural progression of the anti-mainstream pop song that fit perfectly in the oddball late ‘90s aesthetic. An anti-war protest song that, while originally written decades ago, echoes a sentiment that can be applied today, Gibby sings about Mikey who enlisted in the military and “He got into the cockpit and rose up in the sky / Set his sights on Beirut and he let his missiles fly / Boom, Boom!”The textural and moodily cinematic “I Don't Have A Problem” is an exercise in layering, with distorted voices weaving in and out of textured fuzz, guitar feedback, and other subterranean and unnerving sounds, which unsurprisingly is Leary's favorite song on the album. “King showed up to the studio one day with a device that could listen in on other people's cell phone conversations,” Leary laughs. “We set it up to record and turned it on.  Right out of the gate this guy is talking about girls with ‘knives and daggers.' We turned it into the song ‘I Don't Have a Problem'.” Emerging from the 1980s hardcore scene, Butthole Surfers was formed by Haynes and Leary while in college in San Antonio, Texas. Bonding over a shared  distaste for mainstream music, Butthole Surfers traipsed through the music industry, always in the fringes. Championed by Dead Kennedys, Nirvana, and Orbital and compatriots of Scratch Acid, Flipper and Big Black, they remained a fixture in the music scene's counterculture. In a moment of mainstream acceptance (they scored a #1 Modern Rock Hit with “Pepper”), the band always embraced the obtuse and the obstinate. Though the band has never quite broken up, their legacy still inspires other acts, including Gwar, Flaming Lips, Jane's Addiction, White Zombie, Monster Magnet, Primus and dozens more.  Butthole Surfers on After The Astronaut is Gibby Haynes (vocals, synths), Paul Leary (lead guitar, bass guitar, keyboards), and King Coffey (drum machines). After the Astronaut was produced by Paul Leary, engineered by Stuart Sullivan (Meat Puppets, Sublime) at Arlyn Recording Studio, mixed by Paul Leary at Preacher Mon Studio, and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Herbie Hancock, Beastie Boys, Nirvana). It will be released on June 26, 2026 via Sunset Blvd. with original art by Paul Leary and Gibby Haynes.*****If you would like to contact the show Dauna@betertopodcast.comFollow us on Social MediaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX0ETs2wpOHbCuhUNr0XFTw?view_as=subscriberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomSupport the podcast here: https://www.patreon.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedom©2026 Better To...Podcast with D.

Trumpet virtuoso Wayne Bergeron, one of the most respected and sought-after musicians in the world, joins Ira for an engaging conversation ahead of his appearance with the Jazz Vegas Orchestra in Myron's at The Smith Center on June 17. In this fascinating episode, Wayne reveals the unexpected path that led him to the trumpet—even though it wasn't his first instrument—and how a surprising act of vandalism helped shape his future. He discusses why he wasn't a natural musician, his early desire to play in a rock band, and the influential band directors who helped guide his career. Wayne also shares how his admiration for legendary trumpeter Maynard Ferguson eventually led to joining Ferguson's band, what he learned from the iconic performer, and why he immediately slipped into “fanboy mode” when they first met. He offers behind-the-scenes stories about recording at Capitol Records, explains why Michael Bublé is a seasoned veteran despite his age, and discusses the unique pressures of performing—revealing why he feels completely calm as a studio sideman but still gets nervous when stepping into the spotlight as a featured artist. From career-defining moments to lessons learned from music legends, this episode offers an entertaining and insightful look at one of today's premier trumpet players and the remarkable journey that brought him to the top.

Welcome to Public Broadcast, the brand new podcast feed from Public Record Online, brought to you by listeners like you and our sponsor, Hello Merch. Formerly known as WASTOIDS, Public Record is your home for art, culture and music—not optimized for the algorithm, but optimized for care, preservation, and archiving. This week: Sean Lennon. The son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Sean is a lifelong musician himself. In the ‘90s, he was signed to the Beastie Boys adventurous Grand Royal Records, which released his debut, 1998's Into the Sun. He followed it up in 2006 with Friendly Fire, released on Capitol Records, and he's played in a dizzying array of bands and projects, including Cibo Matto, The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger, Mystical Weapons, and his mom's band, the Plastic Ono Band. He's also in a group with Les Claypool called The Claypool Lennon Delirium, with Primus bassist Les Claypool. They're out on the road now, a traveling circus of rock music that features Primus, The Frog Brigade, and the Claypool Lennon Delirium, which means Les is playing three sets a night, and Sean is playing two—as he's sitting in with the Frog Brigade in addition to his project with Les. Their new album is called The Great Parrot Ox and the Golden Age of Empathy, a psychedelic pop opus that's also a concept album about the role of humanity in the age of AI. Ahead of the tour rolling through Phoenix on June 30th, we caught up with Sean to talk technology, his mother's art and the squares who still don't get it, and whether or not he has any plans to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his album Friendly Fire…but first…are we merely meat machines? Let's dive in and discuss.

After collaborating with singers Luther Vandross and Cissy Houston on his debut album Peabo (1976), he signed to Capitol Records and released the 1978 albums Reaching for the Sky and Crosswinds, which were certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). He later released the collaborative projects We're the Best of Friends (1979) with Natalie Cole and Born to Love (1983) with Roberta Flack, the latter of which included the hit single "Tonight, I Celebrate My Love".In 1984, he signed to Elektra Records and released the single "If Ever You're in My Arms Again", which spent several weeks atop the adult contemporary chart.

Some songs don't just define a decade — they instantly improve your mood the second they begin playing. Few tracks from the MTV era carry that kind of joyful energy quite like Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves. This week on the Stuck in the '80s Podcast, Steve sits down with frontwoman Katrina Leskanich for a lively conversation about music, touring and the remarkable twists and turns of her career. The episode begins with Katrina reflecting on her experiences aboard The 80s Cruise, where she not only performed for fans of the MTV generation but also hosted one of the ship's beloved trivia competitions. Spearsy and Katrina discuss the uniquely emotional atmosphere of the cruise, where artists and fans reconnect through the shared soundtrack of their youth. Along the way, Katrina revisits the creation of Walking on Sunshine and reflects on recording with legendary producer Scott Litt at the famous Power Station studio in New York. The conversation explores how the band evolved from London's gritty club scene into international pop success during the height of the MTV era. Katrina also discusses the dramatic transition from struggling musician to major-label artist after signing with Capitol Records and the strange realities of navigating the music industry during the 1980s. Like many artists from the era, she experienced both the excitement and pressure of sudden mainstream success. The interview also revisits Katrina's surprising second chapter as a Eurovision champion after winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1997 with Love Shine a Light — a career milestone that helped launch her solo career and introduced her music to an entirely new international audience. Toward the end of the episode, Spearsy and Katrina discuss her upcoming appearances on the Lost 80's Live tour and why audiences continue responding so emotionally to the music of the 1980s. Like many great Stuck in the '80s interviews, the conversation becomes less about nostalgia itself and more about the joy, connection and shared memories these songs continue creating decades later. If you love new wave, MTV nostalgia, unforgettable one-hit wonders that deserved to be much bigger and behind-the-scenes stories from one of the most uplifting voices of the decade, this episode belongs in your playlist.

This week on the New Music Business podcast, Ari sits down with Red Leather, the anonymous artist who turned viral TikTok videos into sold-out tours around the world. Known for his signature red hat, Red Leather first started his career by busking on Hollywood Boulevard before exploding online with viral covers and original songs like “The Only Time It Rains in Hollywood.” In this episode, Red Leather breaks down how he used social media to grow his audience from scratch, why he posted 5 videos a day for 100 straight days, how smashing guitars outside Capitol Records landed him a record deal (that he turned down), and why ticket sales matter more than streams or viral moments. He also opens up about sobriety, surviving addiction, touring independently, and eventually partnering with Empire after years of doing everything DIY.Follow Red Leather:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/redleather/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@redleatherCheck out Ari's Take:https://aristake.com00:04:02 - Intro00:04:36 - The Origin of Red Leather00:06:39 - Sobriety, Addiction & Artistic Vulnerability00:10:11 - Posting 5 Videos a Day for 100 Days00:14:11 - The Viral TikTok That Changed Everything00:20:00 - Smashing Guitars Outside Capitol Records00:25:12 - Why He Turned Down Major Label Deals00:33:28 - Booking Tours Through Instagram DMs00:47:23 - Virality vs Real Fans & Ticket Sales01:01:58 - What “Making It” Means TodayEdited and mixed by Ruben ZarateMusic by Brassroots DistrictProduced by the team at Ari's TakeOrder the THIRD EDITION of How to Make It in the New Music Business: https://book.aristake.com Hosted on Acast.

International Women's Month Series Liz Heller is a tech and media innovator, investor, and producer whose career has bent culture for four decades. She led artist development at MCA, where she commissioned more than 500 music videos for Tom Petty, Bobby Brown, and Belinda Carlisle. She became President of Island Visual Arts, then Executive Vice President of Capitol Records at the exact moment music, audio, and the internet collided. She produced The Basketball Diaries with Leonardo DiCaprio. She executive produced the Good Will Hunting soundtrack. She built early growth engines for TOMS one-for-one, Product(RED), Microsoft, Intel, and Apple. USA Today called her the godmother of the women's cyber movement in Hollywood. She calls herself a “multi-potentialite,” a word she found after I asked her to list everything she'd done back in the earliest episodes, when I first started The Power of Re:Invention. She sat in her office in New Mexico, started writing, and came up with more than forty things. She had no idea the list was that long. I love that. What I love about this conversation is how clearly “little Liz” foreshadowed all of it. She didn't play house. She played office. She was an entrepreneur before she had the word for it.  Her mother Billie was the blueprint. A true feminist. She worked on the UN doctrine for the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women and took Liz to marches at eight years old. Her father worshipped her mother and licked envelopes for her mailings. That is the household that made Liz.Her operating principle in life was and is simple and it's the whole episode. "If I am not happy doing something, I am absolutely not in the place of my best work."Some of her “tools” to live by:Try it on. Walk into the room acting like you're already the person. She used it on a woman at a top-five company agonizing over a promotion. The woman took the job.Conditions of satisfaction. Write out what would make you 85 to 90 percent happy. If what you have only hits 60, you have your answer.Voyage of discovery. Sit with your iPad for an hour and click wherever curiosity pulls you. Change your algorithm. Her feed is science, innovation, and knowledge because she made it that way. Brilliant, honestly.Her advice for women is the part you need to hear. Don't go where you're not comfortable. Build your own rooms. Build your own board of directors out of your girlfriends. Build the strategy to change it.Connect with Liz:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizheller/ memBrain: https://www.membrainllc.com THE RE:INVENTION EXCHANGE - for more Inspired Content, Blogs, Podcasts, RE:INVENTION Virtual Chats, or to buy a copy of my book RE:INVENT YOUR LIFE!

In the years immediately following the Second World War, the Barton Brothers, an anarchic Catskill comedy duo, began recording humorous macaronic (that is, bilingual) parody songs that relied in no small part on Yiddish theater and radio for raw material. The Bartons' unexpected success—their send-up of Yiddish radio, “Joe & Paul,” was a bona fide hit, however improbable—inspired clarinetist Mickey Katz, based in Los Angeles and working with first-rate studio players, to begin recording his own exceedingly funny Yiddish-mixed-with-English lyrics set to the melodies of current Hit Parade songs. Capitol Records issued (possibly to their own amazement) a steady stream of these Yinglish albums by Katz all through the 1950s and into the ‘60s. These in turn inspired Allan Sherman, a TV gameshow writer/producer, to begin recording his own parodies of standards and folk songs. Though hardly any of Sherman's lyrics had actual Yiddish content, many still had a clearly Jewish inflection that often alluded—phonetically, grammatically, or syntactically—to Yiddish beginnings. Close readings of selected tracks by the Bartons, by Katz, and by Sherman will focus on their language, their music, their delivery, and what made them so influential and so very funny.

"I Should Be Happy" Singer/keyboardist Anne Richmond Boston showed up on the musical timeline in the late '70s when she joined the Atlanta indie rock outfit The Swimming Pool Q's. Before the goldrush of bands like R.E.M., Soul Asylum, O Positive, Big Dipper and Poi Dog Pondering signing to major labels, The Swimming Pool Q's kind of led the way, inking deals in the mid-'80s with A&M and Capitol Records. They put out five marvelous albums, including Blue Tomorrow and The Deep End, toured with Devo and The Police and garnered a reputation for being a spot-on live act, their brand of idiosyncratic pop filled with jittery rhythms, sterling sax fills, jangling guitars and sonorous vocals. Richmond Boston left the band in 1989 but roared right back with her 1990 debut solo album Big House Of Time. Filled with soaring originals like Dreaming and covers of numbers by Neil Young, John Hiatt and The Lovin' Spoonful, Big House Of Time made a huge splash at college radio. And then? Well, Richmond Boston designed album covers, worked in graphic arts, sang with The Drive By Truckers and Widespread Panic and rejoined the Q's. And that was that. But what about the rumored follow-up to Big House Of Time? Well, it was recorded and sitting on a shelf in a closet in Richmond Boston's house. Titled I Should Be Happy, her sophomore album was worth the wait. A riveting collection that's filled with meditative and melodic numbers, I Should Be Happy is contemplative and moving and finds Richmond Boston tackling the big questions with peerless harmonic grace.  www.annerichmondboston.bandcamp.com www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenbooks.com Threads + BLUESKY + IG: @emberspodcast editor@stereoembersthepodcast.com

Today, we're putting The Tonearm's needle on Michael Graves, a five-time Grammy-winning mastering engineer and the founder of Osiris Studio in Los Angeles.Michael's work is restoration as archaeology—pulling performances off deteriorating tapes, damaged acetates, and obsolete formats, then deciding how much intervention is too much. He's done this for recordings by Hank Williams, Aretha Franklin, Stax songwriters, and field recordings from Cambodia, Sudan, and Mississippi. His most recent Grammy came in 2024 for Written in Their Soul: The Stax Songwriter Demos.The deeper question his work raises is curatorial: where does restoration end and revisionism begin?

Here are a couple of ladies who span generations and genres. They can rock, swing, and croon like nobody's business, and are renown for their independence. Wanda Jackson is a founding mother of Rockabilly and still partying at 88; She started recording in 1954, and just recently retired. Although she forged the magical fusion elixir that we call Rockabilly, she has also scored hits in the Gospel and Country genres. Sarah Jarosz, 50+ years younger, studied at the New England Conservatory of Music, but remains pure Texas, like Nanci Griffith or Lyle Lovett - indie Americana artists who fuse country with jazz in an irresistible freshness. She has stated that she relishes expansion, collaboration, and experimentation, with a goal toward “honoring the song” and bringing it to life in the most exciting way possible. Both women are accomplished songwriters as well as vocal interpreters, but today we feature them in the latter position - Wanda, from 1962, keens the vertiginous “Whirlpool”, by Fred Burch and Marijohn Wilken, and Sarah crushes Tom Wait's “Come on Up to the House” with a  funky mandolin.SARAH JAROSZI first heard Sarah Jarosz about 10 years ago on Garrison Keillor's radio show, and was smitten immediately. Her tender, and at the same time fluid voice and funky mandolin charms completely - reminding me of the great John Hartford and how he transformed bluegrass to Newgrass.  She continued after Garrison left with successor Chris Thile, teaming up with Sarah Watkins, another star from that ensemble, and Aoife O'Donovan to form the trio I'm With Her. At 34, no longer a prodigy, she has become a contemporary bluegrass goddess, who keeps expanding her range. Here she essays Tom Wait's Come on up to the House, in which she manages to combine spirituality with sex appeal - brilliant. WANDA JACKSONWhirlpool is like a psychedelic Torch Song. Uncharacteristically, Wanda takes the role of a vulnerable, love damaged damsel instead of the Take No Prisoners, kick-ass Rocker she usually projects. Released on Capitol Records and produced by their A&R exec, Ken Nelson, this cut obviously is swinging for the bleachers of commercial Country appeal, but its weirdness kept it from charting. However, it remains a monument to her range and dramatic power.

She began songwriting at age 10, went viral on TikTok in 2022 with covers and originals, dropped out of school at 16 to pursue music full-time, and built early momentum with singles like “Maybe” (#75 UK Singles Chart, 2024) and her 2025 EP.Co-written by Spiro with Omer Fedi, Michael Pollack, and Blake Slatkin, the piano-led ballad—sparked by a Bohemian Rhapsody-inspired piano mistake—features cinematic strings by Rob Moose and explores stubborn love, emotional entrapment, and toxic relationships with raw vulnerability and dramatic structure. Live-debuted at KOKO London (September 2025), it earned widespread praise for vocal control and emotional depth.As of January 2026, the track achieved her first UK Top 10 (#9 peak on Official Singles Chart), debuted at #69 on Billboard Hot 100 (week of January 10, climbing), hit Spotify US #23 and Global #47 peaks, amassed 145+ million global streams (over 16 million by November 2025), and contributed to Sink Now, Swim Later surpassing 122 million cumulative streams—driven by TikTok emotional-clip trends and organic virality.Television exposure accelerated crossover: UK debut on Later… with Jools Holland, U.S. performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (January 2026), TODAY, and prior The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (via “Maybe”). Support slots with Teddy Swims (North America) and Sam Smith boosted visibility.Her sold-out 2026 North American headline tour, The Visitor Tour, launches March 3–6 at Troubadour (Los Angeles, 2 dates), includes stops at Café Du Nord (San Francisco), Lincoln Hall (Chicago), The Great Hall (Toronto), The Atlantis (Washington, DC), The Foundry (Philadelphia), Brighton Music Hall (Boston), and concludes March 17–18 at Bowery Ballroom (New York, 2 dates)—all 100% sold out across 10 dates.Industry nods include BRIT Awards Critics' Choice shortlist (2026).

Ay, yo!Life be life-in' right now, and I'm feelin' it; the usual stress of holiday hosting and shopping and scheduling and all the other stuff has my mind crinkled and my right shoulder blade in a knot.It's a lot.Sometimes, though, a little dose of blessing floats your way, and I couldn't be more grateful to share with you that I had the pleasure of meeting (and sitting with) the beautiful and the savvy, the sharp and the hilarious, the talented and ambitious, Kimology!That's right.Kim is a daughter and a sister. She's a flippin' playwright and a singer. You might see her modeling, or you might catch her making short films. She's featuring in videos and on Tech N9ne tracks. She's got her own (The Kimology Show) progrum, and co-hosts another (But Did You Listen to the Album?). And atop all that, she was kind enough to join me for Episode No. 194.Few people know this (and it doesn't matter outside of my sphere), but this is a hard gig to maintain when it comes to the soliciting of strangers, the interview prep, the editing and the uploading.Seldom -- and I do mean seldom -- do I interact with someone so lovely, so prompt, and so willing to come share a piece of this thing I curate. And, boy am I lucky that my algorithmic signals crossed paths with Kim's.We talked about family, growing up, performing, directing, producing, writing, singing, recording, and a ton more.We also talked a little bit about a few of Kim's favorite albums. Those were these:Bad (1987), Michael JacksonBoyz II Men's Cooleyhighharmony (1991)T.E.V.I.N. (1991), Tevin CampbellToni Braxton's self-titled release (1993)Never Say Never (1998), BrandyKim is @iamkimology on Instagram.

In 1963, Capitol Records considered the Beatles “a band who looked and sounded weird with an odd name and no leader” and refused to release their records in America, despite being owned by EMI. As author Andrew Cook points out, “the truth is stranger than fiction”. New correspondence unearthed in his fascinating Capitol Gains maps out the tortuous wranglings of the deal-makers and “pantomime bad guys” behind the greatest and most successful marketing hype in history, all jockeying to take credit and manage their reputations. Some highlights here … … the truth behind Epstein's mythical phone calls … “the more successful the Beatles were, the more Capitol were proving themselves wrong” … why 1966 was the band's “Last Supper” … “from the Battle of Hastings to World War 2 to the Beatles ... it's the winners who rewrite history” … the American 12-track rule and how they repackaged product “to give it more grab” … the Beatles' commercial fate if they'd never been successful in the States … the pitiful (standard) original EMI deal – “18.75 of a penny per group member for every album” … the “Butcher sleeve”: how 750,000 were printed and the fortune lost in “Operation Retrieve”. And the Capitol exec whose kids made $1.5m from copies stashed in his garage … how Epstein was contracted to make 25 per cent of all Beatles monies ‘til 1975 … Bob Dylan's tangential role in the signing of the Beatles to Capitol … and the “cowboy film” that nearly happened.

Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠Dive deep into Katy Perry's brand-new standalone single “Bandaids,” dropping November 6, 2025, via Capitol Records—her first release since 2024's 143 album that debuted at #6 on Billboard 200. Analytic Dreamz unpacks the somber artwork showing Perry's scratched, bruised face, signaling raw emotional vulnerability after her summer breakup with Orlando Bloom and the public October reveal of her Paris romance with Justin Trudeau. This segment explores the track's potential ties to heartbreak healing, the ongoing Lifetimes Tour (1.1 million tickets sold through December 2025), and mixed media takes: Billboard highlights strong sales, while Exclaim! calls it a possible distraction from 143's 3/10 critique. With no confirmed album link, Analytic Dreamz analyzes fan buzz on socials, chart prospects for this post-“Woman's World” era, and whether “Bandaids” reignites Teenage Dream magic or stays PR-driven. Essential listening for pop culture analysts tracking Perry's 41-year-old comeback narrative. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Cricket's for the birds. It's October (or was October as of pressing) and the only bats that belong within spitting distance of Capitol Records are made in Louisville right in the heart of the ol' U.S. of A. To celebrate the end of another season of America's pastime, somehow currently dominated by Canadians (#2025), T.J. and Tony resurrect Producer Casey's most confusing episode concept: THE BEATLE BATTING ORDER — this time constructing their lineups exclusively from stateside releases.

What does it take to rise from cleaning studios to shaping some of the most iconic records of our time? Trina Shoemaker's story is not just about breaking into the music industry—it's about breaking through it. As the first woman to win a Grammy for Best Engineered Album, Trina paved the way for a generation of female producers and engineers, and she brings her powerful voice and razor-sharp insight to this inspiring and unfiltered conversation. In this episode, Trina shares how she went from mopping floors at Capitol Records to earning Grammy wins for her work with artists like Sheryl Crow and Emmylou Harris. She tells the behind-the-scenes stories of working on Wrecking Ball and how that album helped define the sound of Americana. We explore her years in London learning the art of engineering, her move to New Orleans to join the legendary Kingsway Studio, and the deep musical and personal lessons she learned along the way. Trina also pulls back the curtain on the realities of being a woman in a male-dominated field—how she navigated the industry, demanded respect, and held true to her belief in capturing raw, honest performances. She discusses her approach to vocal production, why she avoids auto-tune, and how crafting backing vocals is one of her secret weapons. Beyond her life in the studio, Trina opens up about her love of writing and her dream of publishing a novel and having actor Will Patton narrate the audiobook. Whether you're a seasoned engineer or just starting out, this episode offers a powerful reminder: authenticity, persistence, and a deep respect for the artist's process will always rise above the noise. Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.com My guest today is Trina Shoemaker, who was born in 1965 and raised in Joliet, IL, southwest of Chicago. Over the past three-and-a-half decades, she has produced, recorded and mixed hundreds of records. A four-time Grammy® Award winner and six-time nominee, she is the first woman to win the Grammy® for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. Her credits run the gamut from Queens Of The Stone Age, Rodney Crowell, Charley Crockett and Iggy Pop to Sheryl Crow, Brandi Carlile and Tanya Tucker. Although audio engineering is a passion, writing songs and playing musical instruments are not. Instead, while her ears are busy in the studio recording music, her imagination is busy creating characters, narratives, plotlines and dialogues as she travels through the hidden workings of songs. These stories have culminated in the creation of her debut novel, Bury Me Alive In Your Sugar. Trina lives on Mobile Bay in Fairhope, Alabama, with her husband, singer-songwriter Grayson Capps.
