From the same Champaign-Urbana, IL music scene as Hum, Poster Children, National Skyline, and others, Love Cup is a name you might not be familiar with. Their lone 90s release, ..Grefus Gronks and Sheet, is a snapshot of mid-'90s alternative rock, tinged with grunge and post-hardcore, as well as shoegaze and space rock. Tracks like "Even When I Sleep" and "Nothing in Particular" showcase the band's knack for crafting big, straightforward yet infectious riffs, while the eight-minute closer "Green Machine / Scientifically Yours" allows for more sprawling, immersive exploration. Though not as complex instrumentally or melodically as some of their peers, the album begs to be cranked at high volume.   Songs In This Episode Intro - Entirely Made of Wood 12:54 - Billfershort 15:46 - Heroine 26:50 - Nothing in Particular 32:34 - Even When I Sleep Outro - Green Machine / Scientifically Yours   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

In the spring, it is amazing to see the world teeming with new life. There is something about fruitfulness and beauty and growth that draws out a human heart. Paul has this focus in the book of Colossians. In his introductory verses, Paul overflows with thanksgiving and prayer. We see his joy at the fruit of the gospel evident in the lives of the Colossians—the fruit of faith in Christ Jesus and of love for all the saints. Listen as Pastor Josué Pernillo preaches on Colossians 1:1–8, showing us that because of our hope in the truth we can bear the fruit of faith and love. Sunday Morning Worship, May 18, 2025 ------------------------------- Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions: Read through the book of Colossians aloud (this will likely take 15–20 minutes). Take note as you read: How do you see faith, love, and hope appear in the epistle? What would you say is the content of the hope for the Christian? How have you seen the truth of the gospel impact your growth in faith and love for others? What are things that challenge our faith here in Champaign-Urbana, and how does the truth help us to stand firm in the midst of them? How does the truth of the gospel help inform our relationships? Who is one person at church that you can get to know better and care for? ------------------------------- allsoulspca.org All Souls (Urbana, IL) is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a Christian, Reformed denomination with historic and theological roots in the Protestant Reformation.

In this episode, Julia speaks with Nora Madjar, a researcher and professor specialising in creativity, negotiation, and team dynamics, about the impact of hostile environments on women's leadership styles. Nora explores how environments of resistance and criticism can destabilise women leaders, often leading them to stray from their natural strengths of collaboration, creativity, and empathy. "When women step back, observe, and use their innate skills of collaboration and perspective-taking, they create win-win outcomes that redefine success in even the most challenging environments," said Nora. Nora delves into the unique skills women bring to negotiation, emphasising the power of incremental innovation and soft influence. She shares insights on leveraging flexibility and adaptability, facilitating team contributions, and empowering others to thrive. Listen to this episode to understand how women can translate their essence into action to lead effectively, even when facing resistance and criticism. About the Guest: Nora Madjar is an Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs at the University of Connecticut School of Business. She received her Ph. D. in Business Administration from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. She was also a Fulbright Scholar in Bulgaria in 2011. Her main expertise is creativity in the workplace and her research examines the social and contextual factors that stimulate or hinder creative performance and what stimulates creativity in negotiations. Her scholarly work also explores different ways to structure jobs to facilitate creative work and facilitate the creative process. She has multiple articles on creativity published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Management and Academy of Management Journal, among others.

He was full of good advice, warm and talkative. Easy to get along with. He is the type of person that will always say hi and always stop to have a conversation. Smart. He will tell you some of the best decisions he ever made were the ones he didn't. He will also tell you he loves taking risks, but he wants to take less and less in the next phase of life.  Listen to this Champaign-Urbana native talk about making his literal mark throughout our town. Scott talks about being a good business partner by giving 60 percent and expecting 40 back, trying to hit singles and doubles over homeruns, being an emulator and the concept of using your limited energy pellets wisely. His bars made a big impact on my early adulthood and continue into the current generation. Thank you for the memories, Scott, from what I remember. Thank you so much for listening!

More than a year ago I emailed this local business owner. Since the inception of HyperLocal(s) I wanted her to come on the podcast. I wanted to tell her what an imprint her family's business made on my childhood. Thankfully, my email made it to the top of her inbox, and we were able to sit down and talk shop. Listen as this Urbana made mother of two, wife of one, talks about the inception and evolution of a Champaign-Urbana touchstone. Art Mart. Courtney shares the familial female badassery that knocked down norms when women wearing literal and figurative pants weren't exactly celebrated, the difficult, yet necessary, move from Urbana to Champaign, parking woes, the famous cookies and croissants, having to shut the computer down and put on your mom hat and my amazement at how damn good she looks for her age.Thank you so much for listening!

The Beatles: Live at the BBC was released in 1994. The album contained 50+ tracks from some of the 50+ programs the Beatles played on for the BBC during 1962-65. The album was a big hit, selling over 8 million copies, and it was a particular favorite for Dave and Chris who waited in line at a Best Buy in Champaign-Urbana, IL to buy it and get a free poster! We talk about the album, choose our top 10 songs from the album, choose some of the songs that didn't work very well (usually because of the sound quality), and much more. If you haven't pulled out the album in years, now would be a great time to do so! It was also remastered in 2013, so you could get that version as well.

This gal is 100 percent good, authentic and sweet. She is a ray of light. If you come in contact with her in or outside of the Emergency Department, consider yourself one of the lucky ones. I do! Listen as this Galesburg transplant made her way slowly but surely to Champaign-Urbana where she has planted her roots and grew her family. Married to a physician, she and her husband are able to share war stories from their daily experiences at neighboring hospitals. Sarah shares tales of the Emergency Department, why she left and returned and how she balances a young family and a emotionally and physically demanding job. The Emergency Department has always been a place that both scares and fascinates me. Its doors see tragedy, addiction, poor choices and bad luck. Old and young, rich and poor, chronically ill or tragically afflicted, no one can avoid the necessity of care our local Emergency Departments provide. The people that work within their walls are admirable. The ones that forge through their day with grace and patience, like Sarah, are heroes.Thank you so much for listening!

U of I in Champaign / Urbana in the 90's was typical of many satelite college towns to big cities with a happening urban center, dive bars and house parties for the indie scene to procreate within. Drummer Steve Lamos' band American Football was one of the bands within that scene that made a record for Polyvinyl Records, played a few shows then broke up -- except the lore and legend of that special debut album grew like crazy for the next 15 years. Reunion tours in 2014 and reissues all sold like wildfire. An appearance on NPR Tiny Desk Concerts puts the bands success into stark relief. Throughout it all Steve's drumming has added a jazz-influenced mathy component to the jangle and chime of their guitar lines, also punctuating many songs with his trumpet lines throughout their catalog. But even more impressive is his career as Professor of English and Writing at UC Boulder for the past 20 years. He's written extensively on something he calls Resonant Literacy as a way of listeners of music describing what they're hearing in esoteric and abstract ways. As American Football embarks this summer on tours of the US and Europe in celebration of the 25th anniversary of LP 1, Steve's living his best artistic life with more to come!
