Je me demande quand viendra le temps où on dira "les années 20", comme on l'a tant entendu au XX° siècle. Et qu'en dira-t-on ? Ah c'est vrai qu'on parle déjà pas mal des années des années 2000. Elles commencent à dater, mine de rien, non ? Et on en garde de bons souvenirs. Tenez si je vous demande celui que vous gardez de ce clip où un jeune chanteur anglais se déshabillait puis plongeait dans la mer depuis une falaise ? Oui, You're beautiful, par James Blunt. L'idée est géniale. Un sol immaculé et un chanteur qui vous regarde dans les yeux. Il est vachement beau, hein. Mais nous les garçons, bizarrement, on ne le jalouse pas ; c'est pas un Bruel mais plutôt une version romantique de Jim Morrison. On a envie d'être son pote pendant qu'on le voit ôter le haut, ses baskets et ranger toutes ses affaires soigneusement devant lui. Tout ça sous une belle averse et un ciel bien couvert avec quelques oiseaux de mer qui tournent au-dessus de lui. Ah il est bien bâti ce James Blunt, il faut dire que c'est un ancien officier qui a quitté les rangs après avoir fait la guerre des Balkans. Et puis, il y a la musique, ça nous change de la pop dance avec tous ces artistes qui font à peu près la même chose. James Blunt, lui, il joue de la pop à l'ancienne qui n'est pas sans évoquer des Cat Stevens, les Doors avec, il faut bien le dire, une voix en or et un sacré physique. Et donc, on a tous avec le menton qui tombe sur le le sol quand à la fin du clip, ce bon James Blunt se jette dans la mer car voilà, astuce du réalisateur, on ne pouvait pas se rendre compte qu'elle est aussi loin, il n'en finit pas de tomber. On a le clip que le clip aavit été tourné sous la neige d'Ecosse par Jean-Pierre Jeunet, le réalisateur d'Amélie Poulain et de Alien, la résurrection mais il n'en est rien. Non, la vidéo a en réalité été tournée sur l'île de Majorque aux Baléares et s'il ne faisait pas aussi froid, c'était par contre, vachement haut. C'est ce que se dit James Blunt en voyant d'où il va devoir sauter. Non, je ne peux pas faire ça. Mais au vu de l'équipe réunie autour de lui et celle des plongeurs qui l'attend sous l'eau au cas où, il ne se dégonfle pas. Mais voilà, mauvaise nouvelle. La prise est ratée. James est obligé de remettre ça, il ose à nouveau mais s'ouvre la lèvre en touchant l'eau. La prise est bonne cette fois, le chanteur ne regrettera pas son acte héroïque car, comme il a eu l'occasion de le dire, sans cette vidéo, la tournée mondiale se serait résumée à celle du nord de Londres.

¿Alguna vez has sentido que no te entienden? ¿Que necesitas romper con todo para encontrarte? Este episodio de La Teoría de la Mente te va a tocar el alma. Partimos de una de las canciones más icónicas de los años 70: Father and Son de Cat Stevens (hoy Yusuf Islam), para explorar los conflictos internos de la adolescencia, las tensiones entre padres e hijos, y la eterna búsqueda de identidad en el paso hacia la madurez. ¿Qué encontrarás en este episodio? 00:00 - Introducción: ¿Por qué esta canción sigue siendo tan potente medio siglo después? 04:15 - Historia de la canción: Nacida en un contexto revolucionario, resuena en conflictos personales. ‍ 08:40 - El diálogo padre-hijo: El eterno tira y afloja entre protección y libertad. ️ 14:00 - Spiderman como arquetipo del joven rebelde: ¡Sí, Peter Parker también tiene algo que decir aquí! 22:45 - El viaje de Cat Stevens a Yusuf Islam: Fe, transformación y reconciliación con el arte. 30:10 - Crecer es contradictorio: ¿Cómo equilibrar rebeldía con responsabilidad? Reflexionamos sobre cómo crecer implica perder una parte de nosotros, romper ciertas normas y a veces alejarnos de quienes más nos quieren. Pero también hablamos de reconciliación, evolución espiritual y el poder de la música como espejo del alma humana. ✨ ¿Qué pasa cuando un padre quiere proteger y un hijo quiere volar? ¿Y si ambos tienen razón? Este episodio es un abrazo para todos los que alguna vez se sintieron incomprendidos, para los que buscan su lugar y para quienes aún están en ese proceso. ️ Además, conectamos todo esto con Spiderman: el héroe adolescente por excelencia, que actúa desde su ética personal mientras desafía las reglas del mundo adulto. ¿Qué tiene en común con los jóvenes de "Father and Son"? Más de lo que imaginas. ️ Y por supuesto, no podíamos dejar de hablar del propio Cat Stevens: su vida, su fe, su arte. Un ejemplo de cómo la rebeldía también puede transformarse en sabiduría.

Jamais autant de popstars ne s'étaient ainsi réunies depuis le "Band Aid" au profit des victimes de la famine en Ethiopie en 1984 : le projet "Is this what we want ?" ("C'est vraiment ce que nous voulons ?") réuni Kate Bush, Jamiroquai, Annie Lennox, Cat Stevens ou les Clash... Ecoutez La star du jour avec Stéphane Boudsocq du 26 février 2025.

Entertainment writer and broadcaster Caroline Frost explains how more than 1,000 musicians, including Kate Bush and Cat Stevens have released a silent album to protest proposed changes to copyright laws in the UK.

Subscribe to our newsletter athttps://aidaily.usWhy AI Chatbots Are So Unbearably ChattyAI chatbots often produce verbose responses due to their design to predict the most probable next word in a sequence, leading to excessive and sometimes redundant information. This verbosity can stem from attempts to cover all possible interpretations of a query, resulting in lengthy and less concise answers. Additionally, chatbots may over-explain to compensate for their lack of true understanding, aiming to appear more helpful to users.Musicians Release Silent Album to Protest UK's AI Copyright ChangesOver 1,000 musicians, including Kate Bush and Cat Stevens, have released a silent album titled "Is This What We Want?" to protest proposed UK copyright law changes. The legislation would allow AI developers to train models on artists' works without compensation, requiring creators to opt out to prevent usage. Artists argue this undermines copyright principles and threatens their livelihoods.Alibaba Unveils QwQ-Max-Preview AI Model to Challenge DeepSeek R1 and OpenAI o1Alibaba has introduced QwQ-Max-Preview, its latest AI reasoning model designed to compete with DeepSeek's R1 and OpenAI's o1.

Gemini Code Assist supports 38 programming languages and integrates seamlessly with development environments such as Visual Studio Code, GitHub, and JetBrains. While the free tier is comprehensive, advanced features like productivity metrics and integration with Google Cloud services require a subscription to paid plans.AI Chatbots in Therapy: Balancing Innovation and Ethical ConcernsAI chatbots can improve mental health care access, but raise ethical concerns. California proposes a ban on AI posing as human therapists due to misrepresentation and potential harm. User safety and trust are crucial, and AI should complement, not replace, human therapy.Seeking Late-Night Comfort from AI: A Personal ReflectionIn a moment of late-night anxiety about impending life changes, the author turned to ChatGPT for reassurance, asking, "Am I real?" While the AI provided summaries of philosophical perspectives on identity, the interaction offered only temporary relief. This experience highlights the limitations of seeking quick fixes from technology for deep-seated human concerns and underscores the importance of engaging with genuine self-reflection and human connection.

In 2005, for the first time in their history, Pearl Jam took the trek across the entire nation of Canada visiting many cities and provinces for the first, and for some the only time. While the band had been no stranger to Montreal, this night in the city of saints was special for reasons beyond the stage. It was the one-year anniversary that a dear friend and founding father of punk rock Johnny Ramone had passed away. The entirety of this set pays tribute to the man who Eddie Vedder considered one of his best friends and heroes. From the start of the show with Release, you are able to tell how difficult it was for Ed to get through it with many emotions bubbling to the surface. There are stretches of songs in this show ranging from songs that Johnny loved such as Corduroy and Last Kiss to songs that dealt with the themes of death and loss such as Light Years, Sad and Man Of The Hour. There are even two Ramones songs played here as we'll get to hear I Believe In Miracles and a tag of I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend that occurred at the end of Better Man. And this may surprise many of you, but there are not one, but two Cat Stevens covers played at this show. Believe it or not, there is a connection there with Johnny Ramone, and we'll share that as we discuss the set. Tagging in here to help out with this episode is one half of the Hallucinogenic Recipe podcast, Patrick Boegel, who was in attendance for this show and will share his memories involving a Fresh Canadian Rastaman. We'll also dig into Eddie's recent performances on the SNL 50 Homecoming special and how Ed, Jack White and others did a great job paying homage to the history of the show.

His work on albums like Fragile, Close to the Edge, and the ambitious Tales from Topographic Oceans are heralded as some of the finest in the genre. His use of cutting-edge equipment and his larger-than-life stage persona, often featuring capes and elaborate setups, became trademarks of the band's success during the '70s. Parallel to his tenure with Yes, Rick launched a groundbreaking solo career. His debut album, The Six Wives of Henry VIII, was a daring instrumental concept piece blending rock, classical, and historical themes. This was followed by Journey to the Centre of the Earth, a symphonic rock masterpiece recorded with a full orchestra and choir, and The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, which featured lavish live performances on ice. Rick's career has been marked by constant reinvention. After leaving and rejoining Yes multiple times, he expanded his repertoire with a diverse array of solo projects, film and TV scores, and collaborations with artists like Black Sabbath, Lou Reed, and Elton John. His music transcends genres, blending rock, classical, jazz, and even comedic elements, reflecting his eclectic influences and creative restlessness. Beyond music, Rick has become a beloved figure in the entertainment world, known for his sharp wit and engaging personality. He has appeared on television shows, hosted radio programs, and written books, further endearing himself to fans worldwide. Despite health challenges, including heart issues and a diabetes diagnosis, Wakeman remains an active performer, continuing to tour and record new material. Rick Wakeman's contributions to music are vast and enduring, influencing countless musicians and redefining what keyboards can achieve in rock. From his seminal work with Yes to his genre-defying solo projects, Wakeman's career is a testament to innovation, passion, and the boundless possibilities of music.

I went to Roberto Venn School of Luthiery in 1997. Worked at Vince's Backstage music in Lafayette, La. until 2000. I then moved to the Hamptons, which was a mistake for my career.

For the last of our offbeat holiday selections this year, we're talking about an instant new classic for us, The Holdovers! This film bridges the no-man's-land time between Christmas and New Year's Day, when time stretches, everything seems a little foggy, and it's easy to forget what day it is. We're thrilled to welcome first-time guest, long-time friend, and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sanjay Salomon to discuss this film, which has many personal connections to his own youth growing up in Western Mass, at Deerfield Academy (main filming location) no less! We also talk about Alexander Payne's vision of The Holdovers as a part of the 70s film catalogue that includes some of our other favorite movies like Hal Ashby's Harold & Maude and The Last Detail, the top notch performances from Paul Giamatti, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and first time film actor Dominic Sessa, Ryan Warren Smith's production design that captures the true spirit of a New England winter, and the amazing score from Mark Orton, which draws heavily on 70s influences like Cat Stevens and somehow perfectly evokes both the time and the place of The Holdovers. Pour yourself a tall drink of your choice and ring in the New Year with us!

The 17 year-old Al Stewart played electric guitar in a dance band in Bournemouth in 1963. When he borrowed an acoustic and sang Masters Of War in the break, he heard the sweet sound of applause. The next night he played three Dylan songs and sensed which way the wind was blowing. He talks here about moving to London, playing at Bunjies and becoming the compere at Les Cousins as his now 60-year career began to lift off. And about his Farewell Tour which kicks off in the UK in October 2025, a combination of songs and story-telling coloured by two great heroes, Peter Ustinov and Alistair Cooke. This cracking exchange steers by way of Bert Jansch, Bob Dylan, Helen of Troy, Stalin, Hitler and the Battle of Moscow, the Weeley Festival of 1971, the three songs he always plays, the young Cat Stevens and what he told Paul Simon he should do with the just-composed Homeward Bound. Order Al Stewart tickets here:https://www.ents24.com/uk/tour-dates/al-stewartFind out more about how to help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

The journalist Guy Hedgecoe, who covers Spain for the BBC, visits Felipe Conde's shop and workshop in Centro, Madrid. Conde is the fourth generation of his family to make classical and flamenco guitars. Many of the great flamenco musicians - Moraito, Paco de Lucia, Tomatito - have played Conde guitars, as have artists from other traditions - Leonard Cohen, Lenny Kravitz, Cat Stevens. And Paco de Lucia gave one to Michael Jackson. Guy meet Antonio Gonzalez, one of Conde's customers, who tell him what qualities he is looking for - and plays. And he watches while Felipe Conde works on a new instrument. Guy explores the state of the craft of making, the art of playing and the place of the classical guitar and flamenco music in Spain, and around the world, today.

Episode 029: Take a deep breath, fellow music lovers—no, seriously, BREATHE. After the chaos of election season and the general dumpster fire that's been the past few months, Six Picks Music Club is prescribing a much-needed audio chill pill. Join Geoff, Russ, and Dave as they guide you through a meditative journey from stress to serenity. We're starting with the zen mastery of Cat Stevens, the hypnotic grooves of Spoon, and the soulful tranquility of City and Colour to help lower those blood pressure numbers. Once we've achieved maximum chill, we'll gradually lift our spirits with the enlightened vibes of Ceschi, the soul-stirring guitar of Stevie Ray Vaughan, and the euphoric sounds of Broken Social Scene. Between deep breaths and meditation tips, the guys find time to contemplate the erasure of the future (heavy, man) and share what might be the greatest middle school insult ever recorded. Consider this episode your musical Xanax—minus the prescription and potential side effects.   Remember: inhale through the music, exhale through the bullsh!t. Namaste, f*ckers.   Apple Podcasts Instagram Spotify Playlist YouTube Playlist Official Site Listener Listens - Bug Club - Instagram

Colorado-bred, LA-based keyboardist Lao Tizer embodies what it means to be a 21st-century musician inhabiting the jazz sphere ¾ that being one who embraces musical diversity and has no fear of crossing boundaries. But Tizer also happens to come by this naturally. As the self-described “child of East Coast Jewish hippies,” he was exposed to and was influenced by his parents' extensive musical tastes from a young age: “My dad had a huge music collection. He loved classical music and had all this world music ¾ Ravi Shankar, R. Carlos Nakai, music of the Sufis ¾ plus my parents were boomers, so that brought in all the Buddy Holly, Sam Cooke, Elvis, Janis Joplin, and Motown. The Temptations were my favorite band as a kid. So, I basically grew up with everything but jazz, which I didn't really discover until I was about 16.” It was a couple of seemingly random selections from the Columbia House mail-order club that turned him toward a new and lasting musical direction. ”It was buy one, get twelve free, right? So I ordered Miles Davis's Kind of Blue and Miles & Quincy Live at Montreux. Then one Sunday morning, it all just kind of hit me. To a lot of people trained in the classical tradition, jazz sounds like it breaks all kinds of rules, but I just heard there was a whole other world to explore there.” From there, Tizer hit the ground running, applying his classical piano skills to jazz and releasing his first self-produced solo keyboard albums while still in high school. After graduating from Boulder High, Tizer moved to LA and studied with legendary piano guru Terry Trotter for about two years, forgoing formal music education. “Instead of going to music school, I just got my butt kicked on the bandstand. I was always working with musicians who were older and more experienced. School's great but there's no better way to grow than playing with people who are going to push you to grow. I was so green, man. Learning to play in a band concept ¾ playing in good time with a rhythm section–was one of the most challenging things, coming from being a solo pianist.” But his approach and talents served him well. At 19, he formed and led the first band under his own name, taking indirect inspiration from another iconic jazz entity. “When I got into listening to The Pat Metheny Group in the late ‘90s, they had that “formula” that definitely spoke to me ¾ great, through-composed music with a lot of room for improvisation. That's the formula that I love” In the ensuing years and through various incarnations, The Lao Tizer Band has flown by that directional compass while infusing the bespoke influences and experiences that inform Tizer's musical worldview. Subsequently, the band attracted many top players to its ranks ¾ GRAMMY-winning saxophonist Eric Marienthal (Chick Corea), Emmy-winning guitarist Chieli Minucci (Special EFX), Senegalese bassist Cheikh N'Doye (Baaba Maal), violinist extraordinaire Karen Briggs (Stanley Clarke), GRAMMY-winning drum phenom Gene Coye (Hiromi) and legendary GRAMMY-winning percussionist Munyungo Jackson (Stevie Wonder) ¾ and became a steady presence at LA hotspots like The Baked Potato as well as entertaining audiences at premier jazz festivals around the world. Milestones among these were The Hollywood Bowl Jazz Festival, Cape Town Jazz Festival, Java Jazz Festival, and Atlanta Jazz Festival. The six albums he has released as a leader have seen Tizer steadily grow while constantly defining (and redefining) who he is as a keyboardist, composer, and bandleader. “I think the most important thing as an artist and composer is to have your own identity and your own sound. Everybody comes to where they are in music through whatever path they have followed and I think staying true to what brought you to where you are now helps to create your own true voice. I think I have always had that.” But not content to rest, Tizer recently decided to take another bold turn with his music. In 2018, The Lao Tizer Band released Songs From The Swinghouse, a project that included fresh, sophisticated takes on a number of vocal-oriented covers from seminal artists such as U2, Led Zeppelin, and Cat Stevens along with a collection of seven original instrumentals penned by Tizer. The album was released to critical acclaim and notched the Top 10 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz album chart. “We were always only instrumental until that record. The concept was to reinvent covers like ‘Ramble On,' ‘Pride in the Name of Love,' and ‘Sad Lisa.' I had never arranged or recorded any vocal material with my group before, so to take those tunes and make them our own was really fun.” Now, with his forthcoming album, Amplify, Tizer ups the ante by bringing original vocal-oriented songs into his mix of smart instrumentals ¾ as well as a few potent new additions to the band. “A big part of the concept for Amplify is to cross over. It's not really a “jazz” record but it definitely has jazz elements, no question. The band still features the core lineup we've had for a while now with Eric, Chieli, Karen, Munyungo, Gene, and Cheikh, but now there are a few new faces involved in the group. Namely saxophone and flute wunderkind Danny Janklow (MONKestra) and Rolling Stone 2022 ”Bassist of the Year” nominee Anthony Crawford (Erykah Badu), who shares low-end duties with Cheikh. We augmented our already large band with a horn section and background singers on a few songs as well. The album is nine songs ¾ five vocal, four instrumental ¾ all original, no covers.” But perhaps Tizer's most intriguing choice of secret weapon for Amplify is bringing American Idol star Elliott Yamin to handle the vocal material. “Elliott's first album had that platinum hit single “Wait For You.” He's very much a throwback to a blue-eyed soul kind of vibe and it was amazing to be able to bring him into the band. This project was a little outside his stylistic wheelhouse because it is a bit more adventurous harmonically. I think he was a little intimidated by the music early on but he's such a remarkably gifted singer and he's just singing his butt off. He's turned out to be unbelievable in this project and the band. He's super gung-ho about it too, which is great. I couldn't have asked for a better fit!” With these continuing steps over boundaries into new stylistic territory, one might wonder if Tizer has any trepidation about alienating the core base of jazz listeners he's built up over time. Quite the contrary, it seems. “I love that longstanding boundaries in music are getting broken down. Artists like Snarky Puppy, Robert Glasper, and Kamasi Washington have proven this theory that I've long held: If you have music that's melodic and grooves, you can win over a very broad array of listeners.” Indeed, Tizer testifies to having seen the evidence firsthand. “There's been a really cool renaissance and rebirth with all these genre-defying artists and I've seen a shift in the crowd at our shows too. There's a lot of 20 and 30-somethings coming out, and that's so cool. That's what the future audience is going to be. If we want to have long careers like our predecessors, we need to have our peers and younger listeners connect to this music and follow it.” With eyes set on the future and a willingness to keep exploring, Tizer's simplest ethos perhaps sums it up best: “I say forget the boundaries. Just make good music and try to connect with as many listeners as you can.

This week on the show, we're pleased to present a conversation with Matt Sweeney. He's lived a truly dazzling life in music. After coming up playing with the great band Chavez, he contributed to masterworks of indie rock—including records by Cat Power and Bonnie “Prince” Billy, with whom he crafted the monumental 2005 classic Superwolf, a classic in the Aquarium Drunkard canon. He's also worked as an in-demand session player, working on recordings for the likes of Cat Stevens, Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond and other legends. Is Matt the only guy to play on both a Current 93 and Dixie Chicks project? We suspect so. His new band is called The Hard Quartet, which finds him joined by Stephen Malkmus of Pavement and The Jicks, Emmett Kelly of The Cairo Gang, and Jim White of The Dirty Three.  Their self-titled debut is out this Friday, October 4th. To quote from Jennifer Kelly's Aquarium Drunkard review of their self-titled album: “The term ‘supergroup' gets thrown around a lot, and it often means nothing more than ‘these people have all been in other bands.' But the Hard Quartet is a true super group, composed of four guys who have made their mark in music.”   Sweeney's a great conversationalist, and this talk gets into the new record, the philosophy of bass playing, the band's Monkees-like identity, the return of his web series Guitar Moves and much more.
