"It is no secret that music contracts can be rather brutal on artists. Often the stories focus on not getting paid but there is also the interesting idea of a lawsuit ordering a musician to fill his or her contract and record what we are calling a court ordered album. We have multiple examples plus one where the band was paid NOT to record an album."
"Sony Music Publishing confirmed an agreement to acquire Blackstone's Recognition Music Group catalog for $3.5 billion. The Red Hot Chili Peppers just sold their catalog for $300 million. Other Funds are raising billions to start buying. These buyers are called Music Rights Funds. I became interested in how these Funds actually made money. How does one invest and can I sell my own music. I have the answers for you."
"The New York Times released their 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters list a short while ago. I know online lists usually have some click bait to start conversation but this list was overtly egregious. Not for who was on it. It was who was left off. We will go over the list and play some artists that should have been on there."
"Many summer tours are having to scale back or cancel altogether. The nickname given to this practice is Blue Dot Fever. It is named after the blue dots that appear on unsold seats when a ticket buyer uses Ticketmaster. It has become indicative of a larger societal and financial concern that is leading to people not being able to attend live music. We will explain."

Se cumplen 30 años de la publicación de este clásico que marcaría para siempre el devenir del cómic superheroico. Tras varios años de preparación y trabajo, en 1996 vería por fin la luz Kingdom Come, una obra que partiendo de un concepto de Alex Ross fue el fruto de una dialéctica no siempre amable, pero sí intensa y cargada de talento entre él y el guionista Mark Waid. Kingdom Come es una obra coral de todo el universo DC, pero es sobre todo una historia de Superman y, como representante no solo de DC sino de todo el género superheroico, un alegato y reafirmación de éste que llegó en un momento donde sus valores fundamentales habían entrado en decadencia. Kingdom Come marca un antes y un después y será el cómic en el que muchos seguirán mirándose hoy en día, para bien y para mal. La noche es caliente como el infierno. Todo se te pega. Una asquerosa habitación de un asqueroso barrio de una asquerosa ciudad. El aparato de aire acondicionado es un pedazo de chatarra que no podría enfriar ni una bebida aunque la metieras dentro. Parece el sitio perfecto para escuchar el podcast 419 de ELHDLT Selección musical: Kingdom Come, de Manowar Kingdom Come, de Dire Straits

Ce 18 mai, au rayon des incontournables de Pop-Rock Station, Marjorie Hache convoque Dire Straits, Placebo, Janis Joplin, Cat Power ou encore System of a Down. L'animatrice rend deux poignants hommages à des légendes du rock disparues à cette même date : Chris Cornell avec "Black Hole Sun" de Soundgarden, et Ian Curtis avec le titre "Dead Souls" de Joy Division. S'ajoutent à cette belle sélection The Runaways, Dropkick Murphys, Jeff Buckley et Supergrass. En matière de nouveautés, Massive Attack et Tom Waits ouvrent la marche sur "Boots On The Ground". Jack White dévoile "G.O.D and the Broken Ribs", tandis que The Strokes, l'Australienne Courtney Barnett et les Lambrini Girls complètent le tableau. Le groupe londonien Fat Dog s'illustre également avec l'irrévérencieux "Go Fuck Urself". La primeur de la soirée met en lumière le trio francilien Gurl, qui offre la pépite indépendante "Forecast". L'album de la semaine se penche sur le huitième disque de l'Américain Kevin Morby, "Little Wide Open", dont on découvre aujourd'hui l'extrait "Badlands" inspiré par les vastes paysages du Midwest. Enfin, la reprise du jour s'annonce envoûtante : l'artiste électro-folk islandais Ásgeir s'approprie la célèbre chanson "Heart-Shaped Box" de Nirvana.

Today, Sandy sits down with John Illsley, founding member and bassist of Dire Straits, for an intimate and revealing conversation about the extraordinary journey behind one of the most iconic bands in rock history.John takes us right back to the beginning, sharing the story of how a modest council flat in South London became the unlikely birthplace of Dire Straits. It was there that a chance encounter with Mark Knopfler—via his brother David—sparked a musical partnership that would go on to change their lives forever. What followed was a series of coincidences that feel almost like fate, from forming the band to recording their first demo tape.He recalls the pivotal moment when that demo, featuring Sultans of Swing, landed in the hands of influential radio DJ Charlie Gillett and was played on air—setting off a chain reaction that saw record companies clamouring to sign them almost overnight. It was the breakthrough that launched Dire Straits onto the global stage.From there, John reflects on the band's meteoric rise through the late 1970s and 1980s, as they became one of the biggest acts in the world. With timeless hits like Money for Nothing, Romeo and Juliet, Tunnel of Love and Brothers in Arms, Dire Straits created a sound that continues to resonate across generations. John shares insights into the creative process, the importance of band chemistry, and the unique musical connection he shared with Mark Knopfler.But alongside the success came the realities of life on the road. John speaks candidly about the pressures of global touring, the physical and emotional toll it took, and the moment the band realised it was time to step away. Despite playing to millions and reaching extraordinary heights, they made the difficult decision to walk away after their final tour in the early 1990s—preserving both their legacy and their relationships.The conversation also explores John's life beyond Dire Straits. He talks about his autobiography My Life in Dire Straits, a deeply personal reflection on the band's journey, as well as his eighth solo album Eight, created during lockdown in collaboration with his son. It's a project that highlights not only his enduring creativity but also the importance of family and connection.John also opens up about his passion for painting, his ongoing work as a musician, and his perspective on ageing, resilience and purpose. Having faced significant health challenges, including a long battle with leukaemia, he reflects on life with gratitude and a renewed sense of balance.Warm, thoughtful and often quietly humorous, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the life of a musician whose work helped define a generation—and who continues to evolve, create and inspire.If you'd like, I can also tailor a slightly shorter version for podcast apps that cut off descriptions early, or add a stronger hook in the first two lines to boost click-through.

1986: The Year Everything Sounded Like the Future From Prince and Madonna to the smooth grooves of Dire Straits and Robert Palmer, we're rewinding to the ultimate peak of the 80s. Join Mike Savage at 9:00 AM as he counts down the hits that defined an era. Grab a coffee, hit the power button, and let the nostalgia take over.
While films had been made to promote music dating back to at least the 1960s, the music video became a fixture of pop culture in the 1980s. Accelerated by the birth of MTV, MuchMusic, and VH1, music videos in the 80s experienced extraordinary growth in both popularity and artistic creativity. The decade would produce countless iconic music videos, giving renowned artists a second shot at relevancy, launching a whole new wave of aesthetically minded pop stars, and providing unlikely artists a shot at ubiquity with wild conceptual videos. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we attempt to name the Best 1980s Music Video!Videos discussed: “Take On Me” by A-HA!; “Thriller” by Michael Jackson; “Like a Prayer” by Madonna”; “Sledgehammer” by Peter Gabriel; “Love Shack” by The B-52s; “Addicted to Love” by Robert Palmer; “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper; “You Can Call Me Al” by Paul Simon; “Money for Nothing” by Dire Straits; “Hungry Like the Wolf” by Duran Duran; “When Doves Cry” by Prince; “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles; “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)” by Beastie Boys; “Faith” by George Michael; “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitey Houston; “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie TylerJoin host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Derek Mekita, John Higgins, and Kate Racculia as they discuss and debate 16 of the most iconic music videos that defined 80s airwaves.For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss additional 1980s videos that didn't make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.

A midweek, mid afternoon podcast assembly stagger even deeper into 2026 with an astonishing 2nd podcast of the Spring to tempt your earlobes in this time where knee-deep pollen is coating the UK in a Vallejo-challenging yellow blanket. There is discussion of what's been on the painting table for us all, the pro's and con's of stripping a bunch of angry Scotsmen, what is white paint called when it's not white and comes from a pen, is "decent food" at a gaming centre an oxymoron, and whether there is an equivalent to the Merlin app to allow us all to decipher which wargamer is which, simply from the sound of their distant whingeing about bad dice. Andy's Quiz also returns with a Knopfler-esque "Dire Straits" themed episode - but, fresh from the Barcelona "it's more than a rumour" mill, Grandpa Dave brings us news direct from El Kreator himself that a v5 of ADLG has now reached slightly beyond "vague thought on some future to-do list" to now stand at the "twinkle in El Kreator's eye" stage.. ..which of course prompts us all to have a good old chunter about what things (as well as folding in the FAQ - of course..) we might look for in the next, still quite-some-way-off edition of L'Art de la Guerre. What do you think of that..! Victrix Spanish in 28mm
Singer, producer and the songwriter behind iconic songs of Carrie Underwood, Guy Clark, Willie Nelson, Keith Urban, Faith Hill and many many more, Gordie Sampson joins me this week to talk about the 1985 Dire Straits classic 'Money for Nothing', how Mark Knopfler and co chased the edges of new digital music recording technology, the stories behind 'Money for Nothing' and that signature guitar sound, the personnel changes in the band during recording, how Gordie connected with the album as a Canadian teenager, how 'Brothers in Arms' has found a second life in some of TV's greatest moments and more.
"Just a bit of fun this week. Nobody is perfect so it is pretty easy to hear mistakes in recorded music. Here are some of the big ones in rock and hopefully some you did not know. Once you hear them, you cannot unhear them."

Friends,Today, Heather and I try to make sense out of this week's riddles: What is Trump's strategy for reopening the Strait of Hormuz? What's he doing to stop his base from unraveling over his failed war? How can he avoid a “blue wave” in the midterm elections? And, by the way, why are jobs so hard to come by these days, anyway? We answer these and other riddles of the week. Please pull up a chair, grab a cuppa, and join the conversation. This is a public episode.

Rafa Panadero repasa cómo el macroconcierto por el 70º cumpleaños de Nelson Mandela montado a golpe de intuición por Tony Hollingsworth y repleto de gigantes como Dire Straits, Sting o Stevie Wonder terminó convirtiéndose en el inesperado trampolín a la fama de Tracy Chapman. Un fallo técnico, un hueco de última hora y una cantautora a la que nadie quería producir bastaron para que su voz diera la vuelta al mundo. Una historia de música, política y suerte que cambió dos destinos: el de Chapman y el de la imagen global de Mandela.

IRAN HAS decided to play red light, green light with the Strait of Hormuz. Less than 24 hours after President Trump announced the opening of the critical waterway, Iran declared it closed again. Further, two Indian flagged tankers reportedly came under fire from Iranian speedboats. This suggests that negotiations between the US and Iran over a peaceful resolution to Operation Epic Fury are simply a stalling tactic by the Iranian regime, perhaps counting on Democrats winning the midterm elections or even the 2028 presidential election. Given the way Presidents Biden and Obama willingly sent billions of dollars to Tehran, you can hardly blame them. We discuss the bind into which Iran has placed China, which gets up to 20% of its oil imports from the Islamic regime – at a deep discount because Iran has few buyers for its oil due to sanctions. This is exacerbated by China's loss of access to Venezuelan oil. As a result, China has had to suddenly ramp up its purchases of American oil to roughly $10 billion worth per month. In addition, the United States just signed a defense agreement with Indonesia. That nation sits on the west side of the cap, Strait of Malacca, a waterway even more critical to China's oil imports than the Strait of Hormuz. And to make things more interesting, American oil sails through the Panama Canal, which is now once again under American control, thanks to President Trump. In short, the United States now controls China's access to about 25% of its oil imports, and has military control over waterways through which about 80% of Chinese oil imports flow, for which the Chinese must now pay full price. This may be President Trump's way of responding to China's threats to control American access to critical rare earth minerals. We also discuss the corrupting influence of social media on sharing the gospel. Children now graduate high school so reliant on artificial intelligence that they literally don't see the need to read anything longer than a menu.

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes London-based journalist Maddie Frye to a “timey-wimey” episode of Set Lusting Bruce, exploring her path to Bruce Springsteen and U2 and how music shaped her spiritual and political awakening. Maddie, who writes about religion, sex, politics, and pop culture, describes growing up near London with parents who loved Bowie, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, and Genesis, discovering U2 at 12–13 through All That You Can't Leave Behind, and finding Springsteen via a 2006 BBC broadcast of the Seeger Sessions that felt both political and spiritually transformative. She discusses working backward through Bruce's catalog, key live shows (including London 2013 and Liverpool with Paul McCartney), family connections to Springsteen, and reflections on religion's relationship with power. Maddie answers the “Thunder Road” question—Mary gets in the car—and shares where to find her Substack, U2 and Us. 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:45 Meet Maddie 01:55 Growing Up Musical Roots 04:07 Finding Bruce via Seeger 06:23 Seeger Sessions Meaning 10:30 Working Backwards Catalog 14:12 Live Shows Life Changes 18:54 How Many Shows Seen 20:45 Discovering U2 Obsession 23:20 Fandom Numbers Talk 24:52 Writing Religion Politics 25:02 Music Sparks Big Questions 26:24 Faith Through Lyrics 28:00 Reading Toward Belief 29:22 Faithless Research Journey 32:53 Religion Meets Politics 36:13 Radical Gospel Values 41:01 Privilege Luck and Power 44:03 Liverpool Show Memories 46:06 Facing Mortality of Icons 48:24 Thunder Road Mary Answer 49:48 Where to Find Maddie 50:53 Podcast Wrap and Housekeeping Learn more about your ad choices.

Find us at www.crisisinvesting.com Doug and Matt discuss a podcast featuring MIT professor Ted Postel, agreeing the Iran war is an escalating catastrophe with unavoidable, chaotic economic consequences driven by higher petroleum prices. They answer subscriber questions on how rising diesel impacts mining all-in sustaining costs (estimated 10–25%), how to identify viable new business ideas by solving real problems, and how Doug would start investing today by focusing on currently cheap resource stocks while avoiding becoming a one-trick pony. Doug recounts a few tense travel encounters (Haiti and Congo), outlines private placement risks (illiquidity and funding needy companies) and rewards (discounts and warrants), and says no clear asymmetric trade exists without reliable on-the-ground information. They cover music royalties, Brazil travel and bureaucracy, vaccine skepticism, corn's subsidies versus a bullish ag view, draft avoidance uncertainty, 401(k) dilemmas, dollar devaluation and gold, numismatics demand issues, and Hydrograph as a high-risk speculation where taking a "Casey Free Ride" is prudent. 00:00 Subscriber Q&A Kickoff 00:37 Podcast Takeaways on War 02:20 Economic Shock and Energy Reality 05:11 Mining Costs vs Diesel Spike 06:23 Finding a Business Pain Point 07:42 Starting Investing Today 09:18 Dangerous Travel Stories 13:42 Private Placements Risks 15:23 Asymmetric Bets in Iran War 18:08 Professor Jiang on Long War 21:11 Music Royalties and Dire Straits 22:17 Brazil Outlook and Regions 23:10 Brazil Travel Reality 24:23 Visas And Travel Tightening 25:16 Covid Vaccine Skepticism 27:29 Corn Subsidy Machine 30:08 Corn As Investment 32:05 Draft Avoidance Talk 33:45 Protecting 401k Savings 35:39 Dollar Devaluation And Gold 39:10 Numismatics Exit Strategy 40:40 Women And Preparedness 41:39 Buying Hydrograph Shares 42:52 Hydrograph Buy More Guidance 44:24 Free Ride Speculation Lesson 45:30 Wrap Up And Next Week

Stijn Schmitz welcomes a new guest to the show David Woo. David is a Macro Analyst and Former Wall Street strategist. In this wide-ranging interview, Woo provides insights into the current geopolitical and economic landscape, focusing on the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and its potential implications for global markets. Woo argues that the current war represents the first proxy conflict between the United States and China, with Iran playing a strategic role. He suggests that the conflict’s outcome could significantly impact global dynamics, particularly concerning oil trade and maritime control. Specifically, he highlights the potential for China to resist US control of the Strait of Hormuz, drawing parallels to historical conflicts like Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. Regarding gold, Woo offers a nuanced perspective. He explains that gold’s recent performance has been more closely correlated with stock market movements, driven largely by retail investor behavior rather than traditional fundamental drivers like inflation or de-dollarization. While he remains long-term bullish on gold, he believes the metal’s short-term performance is more tied to broader market sentiment. On oil markets, Woo is fundamentally bearish, citing massive global production increases from non-OPEC producers like Ghana, Venezuela, Brazil, and the United States. He anticipates oil prices will eventually collapse, particularly once the current conflict resolves. He also sees potential opportunities in defense-related sectors, believing increased military spending is likely in the conflict’s aftermath. Woo’s analysis extends to broader geopolitical trends, including the potential reshaping of global economic relationships.

One of the most respected macro strategists on Wall Street, today he brings that same independent, data-driven analysis directly to retail investors — free from institutional bias, groupthink, and agendas. He is joined by John Hopkinson, PhD, a mathematician trained at MIT, who translates David’s macro vision into precise, actionable trading strategy — complete with stock selections, targets, and stop levels published every week.

John welcomes former Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman to discuss the war in Iran. Sherman, who led the U.S. team that negotiated the 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran, assesses the current state of the conflict as its scope widens and economic reverberations intensify; the ever-shifting rationales offered by Donald Trump and his administration for attacking Iran and their miscalculations as to how it would respond; and scenarios for what might come next, including the possibility of American boots on the ground.

John once again talks about the War in the Middle East. Pentagon officials told Congress the first week of war in Iran has cost the people of the United States more than $11 Billion. Refineries and tankers in and around the Strait of Hormuz continue to come under attack from Iranian drones and missiles, with new supreme leader Khamenei promising the fun will continue until the US feels the economic pain of its actions. Then, he interviews democrat Crystal Rhoades who has been the Douglas County Clerk of the District Court in Nebraska. Rhoades is running for election to the House to represent Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District in the Democratic primary scheduled on May 12th. Rhoades served as a public service commissioner from 2015 to 2023.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Does the current conflict in the Middle East suggest that America has learned from its recent past wars? Hoover Institution Director and former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice joins GoodFellows regulars Sir Niall Ferguson, John Cochrane and Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster to discuss the prospects of an oil “shock” prompted by a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz as well as a political “shock” back in the US when voters go to the polls in November, China and Russia's losses in terms of stature and friendly regimes, plus what the Anthropic-Pentagon legal kerfuffle suggests about the role of emerging technology in history's first AI-enabled war and the problems in being portrayed as a societal menace. Afterwards: the fellows reflect on the 250th anniversary of Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations, billionaires in the crosshairs of the “affordability” debate, and why they won't be watching the upcoming Academy Awards.
