This episode of Across The Margin : The Podcast features an interview with Bill Morrison who has been called the poet laureate of lost films (New York Times, 9/21/2021), as he often makes films that re-frame long-forgotten moving images. He has premiered feature-length documentary films at the New York, Sundance, Telluride and Venice film festivals. In 2021 Morrison became a member of the documentary branch of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. His found footage opus Decasia (2002) was the first film of the 21st century to be named to the Library of Congress' National Film Registry. Dawson City: Frozen Time (2016) was included on over 100 critics' lists of the best films of the year and was later listed as one of the best films of its decade by the Associated Press, Los Angeles Times, and Vanity Fair, among others. His most recent film, Incident (2023) won the Best Short Film Award from International Documentary Association in 2023, the Cinema Eye Honors for Outstanding Nonfiction Short, and was nominated for an Academy Award in Documentary Short in 2025. His film, The Great Flood (2013) — the focus of this episode — was recognized with the Smithsonian Ingenuity Award for historical scholarship.The Mississippi River Flood of 1927 was the most destructive river flood in American history. In the spring of 1927, the river broke out of its banks in 145 places and inundated 27,000 square miles to a depth of up to 30 feet. Part of its enduring legacy was the mass exodus of displaced sharecroppers. Musically, the “Great Migration” of rural southern blacks to Northern cities saw the Delta Blues electrified and reinterpreted as the Chicago Blues, Rhythm and Blues, and Rock and Roll. Using minimal text and no spoken dialog, filmmaker Bill Morrison and composer / guitarist Bill Frisell have created with The Great Flood a powerful portrait of a seminal moment in American history through a collection of silent images matched to a searing original soundtrack.

What does it actually look like to stop living for a paycheck and start living for yourself? In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen shares the mic with Frank McKenna, a man who spent 24 years at a job he hated, followed a quiet pull toward something completely unexpected, and built a life that most people only dream about. Frank shares how curiosity and persistence led him from New York to California to the Mississippi Delta, and why following your own path often looks nothing like what the world expects of you. Frank talks openly about what it took to leave a life that looked successful on the outside but felt empty on the inside, how he built meaningful community in a place he wasn't even from, and why his definition of success has nothing to do with a salary anymore.

Jamie Atkinson chose it after seeing most of the world first.Before planting roots in the region, Jamie Atkinson spent years as a U.S. Foreign Service officer, living and working across more than 55 countries—Argentina, Nicaragua, Bulgaria, Bolivia, the Czech Republic, and beyond. Along the way, he discovered that Delta blues music wasn't just something he loved — it was a universal language that opened doors, built trust, and connected him to people across cultures and continents. Now back in the U.S. and deeply invested in Northwest Arkansas, Jamie joins me on the podcast to talk about what it means to carry your roots with you around the world, why this corner of the Ozarks convinced his family to stay, and how a lifetime of service is shaping what comes next.Key Takeaways:Music is a Bridge: Delta blues connected people in Argentina, Bolivia, and the American South—showing that music can bring cultures together.Importance of Perspective: Living overseas gave Jamie Atkinson a deeper appreciation for being American and for appreciating other cultures.Building Community: Investing in Northwest Arkansas is about more than property—it's about relationships, teamwork, and belonging.Local Roots with Global Experience: Jamie Atkinson's experience in the Foreign Service taught him to listen, compromise, and find common ground—skills he brings to community leadership.Giving Back: Returning home, Jamie Atkinson seeks to serve his adopted community through both local business and public service.All this and more on this episode of the I Am Northwest Arkansas® podcastImportant Links and Mentions on the Show*Website: Jamie for ArkansasReach Jamie Atkinson on social: Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedInMusic Education Initiative (Orson Weems)Fayetteville Public LibraryPryor Center Juke JointFindItNWA.com NWA's Hyperlocal Business DirectoryThis episode is sponsored by*Signature Bank of Arkansas "Community Banking at its Best!"*Note: some of the resources mentioned may be affiliate links.

A Fênix de Oakland "Saudações, garimpeiros e colecionadores de histórias. Você está no Garimpando Bolachas, e hoje a nossa escavação nos levou a um dos personagens mais fascinantes da música contemporânea. No episódio 62, vamos abrir os arquivos de um homem que viveu três vidas em uma única jornada.Estamos falando de Fantastic Negrito." "Para entender o som que sai dos alto-falantes hoje, precisamos voltar para 1968. Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz nasceu em Massachusetts, o oitavo de 15 filhos em uma família muçulmana ortodoxa de origem somali. Aos 12 anos, ele foi jogado no caldeirão cultural de Oakland, Califórnia. E foi ali, entre o tráfico de drogas, o perigo das ruas e a efervescência do funk e soul, que ele aprendeu sua primeira lição: a sobrevivência." "Xavier era um prodígio. Ele invadia as salas de música da UC Berkeley para praticar piano sem ser aluno. E esse talento bruto chamou a atenção da indústria. Em meados dos anos 90, ele assinou um contrato lendário de um milhão de dólares com a Interscope Records, sob o nome artístico de Xavier. Ele tinha tudo: o dinheiro, o visual, o apoio da gravadora. Em 1996, lançou The X Factor. Mas o disco era polido demais, comercial demais. Não tinha a 'sujeira' da alma dele. O álbum fracassou, a gravadora o abandonou e ele se viu perdidono limbo da indústria fonográfica.""Mas o pior ainda estava por vir. Em 1999, um acidente de carro devastador quase o tirou deste mundo. Xavier ficou em coma por três semanas. Seus órgãos falharam.Seus músculos foram destruídos. Sua mão direita, a mão da guitarra, ficou permanentemente danificada. Ele desistiu da música. Vendeu tudo. Mudou-se para uma fazenda e jurou que nunca mais subiria num palco. Durante anos, foi apenas um pai de família e um fazendeiro em Oakland." "Mas o 'garimpo' da vida é imprevisível. O nascimento de seu filho Kyu mudou tudo. Ao tentar tocar uma nota simples para ninar o pequeno, sentiu o chamado novamente.Mas agora, ele não queria o milhão de dólares da Interscope. Ele queria a verdade.Ele adotou o nome Fantastic Negrito. O 'Fantastic' veio da vontade de criar algo maior que a vida, e o 'Negrito' foi uma homenagem à 'música de raiz negra' que construiu o mundo. Ele foi para as ruas. Começou a tocar em estações de trem,onde ninguém se importava com quem ele era. Ali, ele redescobriu o blues — não o blues de museu, mas o blues do trabalhador, da dor e da superação, principalmente o novo blues."É considerado o mais criativo e inovador bluesman da atualidade. "Em 2015, ele venceu o concurso Tiny Desk Concert da NPR entre milhares de inscritos. O mundo finalmente ouviu o que Oakland já sabia. O que se seguiu foi uma das maiores sequências da história da música: três prêmios Grammy consecutivos de Melhor Álbum de Blues Contemporâneo.The Last Days of Oakland (2016)Please Don't Be Dead (2018)Have You Lost Your Mind Yet? (2020) Fantastic Negrito provou que o blues não é um gênero antigo, mas um estado de espírito. Ele mistura o punk, o funk de Prince, o rock de Led Zeppelin e o Delta Blues de Robert Johnson em uma maçarica sonora que queima qualquer rótulo."

DL works through the Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list, reviewing four albums and four songs from entries #477–481 — and handing out scores along the way.Albums covered: Miranda Lambert's The Weight of These Wings (2016) gets an 8.7/10 — a genuine surprise, with DL arguing it's more Orville Peck than generic Nashville country. Selena's Amor Prohibido (1994) gets a 7/10, with praise for Los Dinos and the vocal performances but honest limits on Tejano expertise. Something Else by The Kinks (1967) gets a thoughtful take on a band that was the real rock stars of the '60s — even when they were chasing the Beatles. Howlin' Wolf's Moanin' in the Moonlight earns a 10/10 and a full Delta Blues sermon, with a side argument that it deserves to be ranked way higher than #487.Songs covered: "Just a Friend" by Biz Markie, "Oye Como Va" by Santana, "Back That Azz Up" by Juvenile, and "Our Lips Are Sealed" by the Go-Gos.Plus: the Radiohead solo episode series explained, listener questions on which Radiohead album to give Evil and Rachel as a gateway, and DL's current ranking with Howlin' Wolf sitting at #2 behind Arcade Fire's Funeral.Part of Verse Chorus Verse's ongoing Rolling Stone 500 album-by-album coverage.Rolling Stone 500,Miranda Lambert,Howlin Wolf,The Kinks,Selena,Biz Markie,Santana,album review,Delta Blues,country music,music podcast,Radiohead

God Påske og velkommen til en vaskeægte genopstandelse af podcastserien “Det tunge stedbarn”, nu med fokus på heavy metal-genren i 90'erne! I vort første afsnit fra 1990, “Overgang, opsamling, optur” trækker vi tråden fra sen-80'erne ind i det nye årti med etablerede ikoner som Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden og AC/DC, og massive metalbands som Pantera, Megadeth, Slayer, Annihilator og Artillery til nye navne som Danzig, Alice in Chains og Zoser Mez med den gamle Mercy-guitarduo Shermann og Denner. Studievært Jens Jam Rasmussen gennemgår det omfattende og hårde rock år 1990 sammen med vores tre faste studiegæster Steffen Jungersen, Michael Stützer Hansen og Michael Denner. Det er bare at åbne det auditive, metalliske påskeæg og lytte med! Nedslagspunkter: - Judas Priest udgiver “Painkiller” og jerner metalskabet helt på plads. Steffen Jungersen og Michael Stützer jubler samstemmende med nærmest 80er-agtig begejstring. - Jungersen og Stützer giver bevingede metal-ord med på vejen til årets ferme udspil fra Pantera, Megadeth og Annihilator. - 1990 rummer også masser af god hård metal, thrash og crossover fra blandt andre Biohazard, Suicidal Tendencies og Slayer. - 1990 er også året, hvor de dødsmetalliske slubberter Cannibal Corpse albumdebuterer og hvor svenske Bathory indvarsler ny norrøn metallyd. - Der er gang i den nye danske metalundergrund, og i Artillery, der vender hjem fra det fjerne Sovjet-østen og udgiver hovedværket “By Inheritance”. - King Diamond udsender “The Eye”, mens hans gamle Mercyful Fate-makkere, Hank Shermann og Michael Denner arbejder med et nyt projekt, Zoser Mez. Denner beretter om begge bands, og om Zoser Mez-bassist Claus Weigangs (RIP) albumdebuterende band Jackal. - Deep Purple-bassist Roger Glover producerer et par pænere udgaver af danske Pretty Maids og af sit eget band. - Los Angeles 1990 præsenterer både puddelhundsheavy og dunklere toner. Fra henholdsvis Warrant og Danzig, eksempelvis. - Seattle 1990 byder på et tragisk debutalbum fra Mother Love Bone og et højinteressant ditto fra Alice In Chains. - Black Sabbath holder den solidt kørende på deres tredje Tony Martin-frontede album, “Tyr”, mens Iron Maiden-pladen “No Prayer For The Dying" er langt bedre end dens rygte, ifølge Jungersen og Stützer. - Maiden-sanger Bruce Dickinson har et særligt travlt år, der også indbefatter en solodebut. - 1990 afrundes i komfortzonen med AC/DC, som er tilbage med det bedste album i en rum tid, “The Razors Edge”, der dog nok har en lidt højere stjerne hos studieværten end hos Jungersen og Stützer. Stor tak til vores studiegæster Steffen Jungersen, Michel Stützer og Michael Denner, supervisor Jan Eriksen, og til dig, der lytter med… og på genhør i det nye metal år 1991 om små 14 dages tid! PS: Det er første podcastafsnit med studieværten som producer og klipper, men som det stod i noterne til en gammel liveplade med Delta Blues band: “Bøfferne får du med gratis!” Idé, tilrettelæggelse, research og produktion: Jens Jam Rasmussen.

Students of classical music know that Johann Sebastian Bach was one of the most important and influential composers of all time…his use of instruments, four-part harmonies, and use of innovative structures in his material were all brilliant… When he was alive, he commanded plenty of respect…but after he died in March 1685, he was almost forgotten…the only reason we talk about him today is that there was a Bach revival in the 19th century…he became a retro hero in the world of classical music… No one knew anything about Robert Johnson when he was alive other than some myths and legends among hardcore fans of Delta Blues…but when his records were reissued in 1961, 23 years after he died, did his reputation explode… Charles Mingus was revered by fellow jazz artists…it was only after he passed away in 1979 that his influence on jazz was celebrated… We can also talk about posthumous praise for Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley, and Elliott Smith…and although Tupac and Biggie were big stars when they were shot, they became even bigger stars in death… I'm going to add another name to this list: Ian Curtis and Joy Division…when Ian took his own life in May 1980, he and the band were so skint that he had to give his dog away because he and his wife couldn't afford to feed him… Today, though, Ian and Joy Division are acknowledged as one of the most important and most influential post-punk bands ever…why?...what was the big deal about Joy Division? And why do they continue to be a big deal?...let's examine this. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Delta Blues legend Blind Charlie Jones once famously said “A pawnshop is a place of wonder, a magical place full of possibility and dreams.

I hear you ask as you suck on your cornstalk balls deep in your first cousin...

Robert Johnson didn't just play the blues. He embodied them. He drank and womanized his way through the South, New York, and Chicago in the 1930s, until he finally met the devil at the crossroads for a little trade. So the legend goes, anyway. With the same soul he supposedly sold to the devil, Robert Johnson belted lightning blues that captured trouble in 12 bars. But the trouble he touted would eventually trickle into his own life, one bottle of poison at a time.

Air Date 5/18/2025 The full quote from today's title is from one of the most celebrated writers of Southern American literature, William Faulkner, who said, "The past is never dead. It's not even past. All of us labor in webs spun long before we were born, webs of heredity and environment, of desire and consequence, of history and eternity.” The new film, Sinners, set in the Jim Crow South, attempts to take on some of the subjects that make up that web of history and consequence. The theme of today's episode is an attempt to dig into many of the subjects of the film. Be part of the show!

As a writer and director, Ryan Coogler is drawn to stories about identity. He made Fruitvale Station to confront his own thoughts and fears about being a Black man in America. He made Creed as an extension of the dynamic he has with his dad. He made Black Panther while conscious of the impact it would have on a global community. Ryan and Marc talk about these films as well as Ryan's latest movie Sinners, which also explores Ryan's preferred topic of identity, but this time through the lens of Delta Blues, doppelgangers, and vampires.
