Podcasts about cosmic thing

Listen to an interview with the legendary producer and bassist Don Was. He'll be performing in Central Indiana, with the Pan Detroit Ensemble on February 28 at the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts. Born in Detroit, Michigan in 1952, Don Was rose to prominence in the 1980s, with the band Was (Not Was), the group's music featured a surreal mix of funk, electronic dance music, new wave, and avant-garde jazz, along with an unexpected cast of guest performers that included Mel Torme, Ozzy Osbourne, Frank Sinatra Jr., Iggy Pop, and Leonard Cohen. Was (Not Was)  scored a top 10 hit in 1987, with the infection dance song “Walk the Dinosaur”.  The notoriety Was gained with Was (Not Was) paved the way for his historic work as a record producer. Was has received 6 Grammy Awards for his work as a producer, including album of the year in 1989  for Bonnie Raitt's Nick of Time and producer of the year in 1994. Was has produced dozens of significant recordings, including the B-52's breakout album Cosmic Thing, along with notable work, from The Rolling Stones, Iggy Pop, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Elton John, Ringo Starr, Brian Wilson, Wayne Shorter, and Waylon Jennings, to name a few. Since 2011, Was has served as president of the revered jazz label Blue Note Records.   Throughout his life, Was has looked to the culture of his hometown Detroit as a reference point and source of inspiration for his work, that's evident in his latest project the Pan Detroit Ensemble a group of veteran Detroit jazz and R&B musicians.

His ‘80s band Was (Not Was) scored a top 10 hit, “Walk the Dinosaur,” but Don Was has had an even greater impact on the music world as a producer. In 1989 he produced two big comebacks: Bonnie Raitt's Grammy-winning Nick of Time and “Love Shack” and other songs on the B-52's Cosmic Thing. Then came work with Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop, Willie Nelson and—in a long, fruitful collaboration—the Rolling Stones. He's got amazing stories detailing his Stones job interview and the origin of Cindy Wilson's cry of “Tin roof! Rusted.” He also relates how he helps artists get to the essence of what they do best. Then there's his own return to performing in Don Was and the Pan-Detroit Ensemble and how playing live helps him as a producer and as president of Blue Note Records (the subject of next week's episode).

The B-52's suffered a major tragedy with the death of guitarist Ricky Wilson and, though they managed to get 1986's Bouncing Off the Satellites put together and released, it appeared that may be their final album. In 1989, however, they came back in a big way with Cosmic Thing and the hit "Love Shack". Cindy Wilson left to focus on her family in 1990 and, tired, with one member down and under pressure to replicate the success of "Love Shack", the B-52's went into the studio and recorded 1991's Good Stuff.

Scoot reflects on a conversation he had with Cindy Wilson about the special "thrift store chic" style of the iconic band

Because all of us presenters live in Georgia it is hard for us to believe that Cosmic Thing, the fifth studio album from The B-52's was the international breakthrough album.  We had been listening to “Rock Lobster” and “Private Idaho” for about a decade before this album came out.  But much of the B-52's discography was confined to college radio stations outside of their home state.  Cosmic Thing would really put the group on the map nationally and internationally.This album was also a comeback for the group.  The original group consisted of Fred Schneider on vocals, Kate Pierson on vocals and keyboard, Cindy Wilson on vocals and tambourine, Ricky Wilson on guitars, and Keith Strickland on percussion.  Ricky Wilson died of AIDS in October 1985, and hadn't told the band other than Keith Strickland that he had the then-terminal disease because he didn't want anyone worrying or fussing over him.  His death devastated the group, particularly his sister, Cindy Wilson.  The band did not tour to promote their 1985 album release “Bouncing off the Satellites,” nor did they put out any new music until 1989.When they got back together they decided to remain a foursome.  Keith Strickland moved to guitar and they brought in session drummers to fill in.  It took about a year to compose the songs from this album, with the group spending a lot of time working through their grief in the loss of Ricky Wilson.  The resulting album, however, was a tremendous success, with two songs breaking into the top 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100, the first songs of the group to do so.Bruce brings us this comeback album in this week's podcast. Love ShackThis has become the B-52's signature song.  It went to number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 - the group's first top 40 hit.  The inspiration for this song was partly an African American club outside Athens, Georgia, called the “Hawaiian Ha-Le.”  It was a place that looked like a shack from the outside, but hosted a great selection of bands.Cosmic ThingThe title track and lead-off song to the album preceded the album by a few months.  It was released on the soundtrack to the film “Earth Girls Are Easy.”  It is also known as “(Shake That) Cosmic Thing.”Channel ZA deeper cut , this track has a little more political feel.  It discusses the changes happening in the world, along with pollution, radiation, and other concerns.  “Space junk, laser bombs, ozone holes, better put up my umbrella!”  The band never lost their dance connection, with songs leaning more towards party and less towards politics.RoamThe second big hit leads off side 2, and also went to number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson duet on this song, making it the only vocal track on the album in which Fred Schneider doesn't have a vocal.  It was the second and final US top-10 hit for the group. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:It Had to Be You by Harry Connick, Jr. (from the motion picture “When Harry Met Sally”)Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan star in this romantic comedy, with Harry Connick, Jr. providing most of the soundtrack. STAFF PICKS:I'll Be You by the ReplacementsWayne features a Minnesota band which got their start in the punk genre before moving to alternative rock.  This song plays in the bachelor party in the 1996 comedy “Jerry Maguire.”  The replacements formed in 1979, and it would be 10 years before this song would be their sole entry into the top 100, peaking at number 51.Free Fallin' by Tom PettyLynch's staff pick is a big hit off Petty's solo album “Full Moon Fever.”  This song documents the feelings that a guy has after breaking up with his girl.  Petty has ELO founder and fellow Traveling Wilburys member Jeff Lynne joining him on this single, providing synthesizer, bass, acoustic guitar, and backing vocals.Lay Your Hands On Me  by Bon JoviRob brings us an epic rock song from Jon Bon Jovi off the album “New Jersey.” This one hit number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, the fourth single from the album to break into the top 10 on the pop charts.  Dolly Parton covered this single in 2014, rearranged as a gospel song.If Dirt Were Dollars by Don HenleyBruce closes out the staff picks with a deeper cut off Henley's massive album “End of the Innocence.” Never one to shy away from politics and culture, Henley rails in this track against materialism, hypocrisy, false patriotism, and hubris.  “These days the buck stops nowhere, no one takes the blame.  But evil is still evil in anybody's name.” INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:It Had to Be You by Harry Connick, Jr.We double dip on the Entertainment track to end this week's podcast, as Connick did a vocal and instrumental version of this classic song.  Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

The Eagles had been broken up for almost a decade, and it would be another 5 years before their reunion, but Don Henley was still a huge name in the music world.  The End of the Innocence, Henley's third solo studio album, would be a more reflective and less synthesizer-heavy album, and would be Henley's best selling album.After the break-up of the Eagles, Henley put out “I Can't Stand Still” in 1982, from which the hit single Dirty Laundry would arise.  1984 would see the appearance of “Building the Perfect Beast,” from which the best remembered single would be the monster hit “Boys of Summer.” Henley had established himself as a successful solo artist through these albums.So, Don Henley had a celebrity status by the end of the 80's, and he would collaborate with many musicians across diverse genres in making this album.  The result would cover lots of territory, from the rocking sounds of “I Will Not Go Quietly” to the sad reflections of “New York Minute” and many other musical and emotional stops along the way.We hope you enjoy our observations on this excellent and pensive work. The End of the InnocenceThis is the title track, the first track on the album, and the first and most successful single.  It was co-written and co-produced by Bruce Hornsby, who plays piano on it.  Henley is overtly political on this one, and throughout the album.  In the David Fincher video for the song, Oliver North is shown in his Iran/Contra congressional testimony during the line, “armchair warriors often fail,” and Reagan is shown during the lyrics, "they're beating plowshares into swords for this tired old man that we elected king."I Will Not Go QuietlyThis is the heaviest song on the album.  Most of this album is pretty introspective, but not this one.  Axl Rose contributes backing vocals!  “Well, don't you ever get lonely?  Don't you ever get down?  Don't you ever get tired of all the wicked tongues in this town?”New York MinuteA track with an almost symphonic feeling, this song features a number of well known collaborators.  David Paich (Toto) plays piano, Jeff Porcaro (Toto) is on drums, Pino Palladino (session musician for many, including Jeff Beck, the Who, and Nine Inch Nails) is on fretless bass, and Christian Jazz a capella group Take 6 is featured in the chorus.  This is one of Henley's songs which made it onto the Hell Freezes Over tour and album when the Eagles reunited in 1994.The Heart of the MatterMike Campbell (of The Heartbreakers) wrote and produced this music.  It tells of loss and moving on with forgiveness.  "What are those voices outside love's open door make us throw off our contentment and beg for something more?" ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:“Batdance” by Prince (from the soundtrack for the motion picture “Batman”)Michael Keaton would show us his darker side in this first big budget adaptation of the Caped Crusader since the campy 60's series. STAFF PICKS:“Headed for a Heartbreak” by WingerBrian brings us Kip Winger's hit from his debut album.  Winger was one of the big hair bands of the late 80's, but Charles Fredrick Kip Winger also has an impressive vocal range and was classically trained.“Trouble Me” by 10,000 ManiacsRob's staff pick features the alternative rock which was about to drift into mainstream.  This hit is off their fourth album entitled "Blind Man's Zoo."  Natalie Merchant adds a distinctive voice as front woman for the group.  The lyrics are inspired by Merchant's father who was sick in the hospital.  “Why let your shoulders bend underneath this burden when my back is sturdy and strong?” “Tehran” by The OffspringWayne's staff pick kicks in some California punk rock.  The song is an anti-war creed.  Interesting that frontman Dexter Holland has a PhD in molecular biology, is a licensed pilot, and has his own brand of hot sauce.  The album never came out on CD, only album or cassette.“Crossfire” by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double TroubleBruce features this track off SRV's fourth studio album, "In Step."  It was the first one after he had gone through drug and alcohol rehab, and "In Step" refers to the 12-step program of Alcoholics anonymous.  The song itself talks about the almost Darwinian pressure of modern life.INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:“Follow Your Bliss” by The B-52'sThe Athens band The B-52's were making a strong resurgence in 1989 with their album “Cosmic Thing,” and this instrumental track wraps us up this week.

The 1989 comeback album by The B-52’s, Cosmic Thing, is the treasure that gave us “Love Shack,” “Deadbeat Club,” and so much more. Written in the aftermath of a personal tragedy, the album reflects a depth of emotion while still managing to pump out fun, danceable tunes about PARTY ALIENS. It rules! Other topics of discussion include: Cameron’s extensive study of juggling in middle school, Shawn’s park-based beef with Andy, and treasures from the B-52’s deep catalog. Sincere thanks to dad!

Kyle 'N Louie are joined by special guest Mike Malone (who has seen The B-52's over 80 times in concert!) to discuss their album "Cosmic Thing," which had a huge impact on Mike and Louie growing up, so it's gonna get a little emotional, folks! Plus, Kyle just got back from New Orleans, so he spins some Dr. John and Mike schools the boys on why Pylon Reenactment Society kick ass!

This week we cast a spell of confusion over the ‘classic’ Teen Witch. Then we pile into the love shack for a discussion about The B-52’s big comeback album Cosmic Thing. Now who would ever really wanna go and top that? Our special guest this week is the lovely Alia Miller of the excellent podcast What She’s Having.

Kate Pierson is one of the lead singers and founding members of the world's greatest party band: the B-52's. Formed in 1976 in Athens, Georgia, the B-52s (originally Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson, Keith Strickland, Cindy Wilson & Ricky Wilson) have sold over 20 million albums and are known for such classic songs as: Rock Lobster, Private Idaho, 52 Girls and chart topping hits Love Shack, Roam and Deadbeat Club. Impossible to categorize, the B-52s emerged during the post-punk underground music scene in the late 70s, and went on to become worldwide superstars in the 80s, thanks to MTV and the success of their album Cosmic Thing which soared to the top of the Billboard Album Chart. In this conversation, Kate talks about the night the B-52's was formed, how Rock Lobster was written, losing Ricky Wilson, and where the real 'Love Shack' is.
