What connects Seattle with Ray Charles, Quincy Jones, and Kenny G? How about the Melvins, Sleater-Kinney, and Foo Fighters? And Sir Mix-a-Lot, Macklemore, and Travis Thompson? If you don't know, KEXP DJ and musician Eva Walker and music writer Jake Uitti can tell you. Walker and Uitti have created a timeline of Seattle's music evolution through the lens of 101 songs spanning 80 years, the culmination of which, they say, creates a distinct “Seattle sound.” In their book, The Sound of Seattle, they highlight notable music and musicians who have ties with the Emerald city. It all begins in 1942 when Washington-born Bing Crosby records what will become the world's best selling single of all time, “White Christmas.” From there, Walker and Uitti explore multiple genres including jazz, rock, punk, riot grrrl, pop, rap, grunge, indie, emo, and more. This playlist, they believe, helped create Seattle's culture. With a foreword by Pearl Jam lead guitarist Mike McCready, The Sound of Seattle is organized by decade and includes interviews with Seattle legends like Heart's Nancy Wilson, as well as sidebars showcasing musical landmarks throughout the city. Seattle has many connections to music, and Walker and Uitti would argue that the city is shaped by them, and in turn, shape the people living in it. Eva Walker plays in the rock ‘n' roll band The Black Tones and is a DJ at KEXP. Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, she comes from a southern family of educators and music lovers. Her Louisiana-bred mother and grandparents have greatly influenced her music, work ethic, and manners. Eva believes in discovering, listening to, and experiencing music as much as possible. She has a deep love for Seattle music — from Jimi Hendrix to Jimmy James — and is an avid fan of classics, rediscoveries, and rare recordings. Jake Uitti's work has appeared in Vanity Fair, The Guardian, Interview, The Nation, The Athletic and many more publications. When not immersed mid-interview, Jake can be found in search of the city's best fried chicken or cheese pizza slice. He is the co-author of memoirs with NBA stars Muggsy Bogues, Earl Cureton and Michael Ray Richardson, and co-author of The Sound of Seattle: 101 Songs that Shaped a City with his radio DJ wife. The son of Ivy League professors, Jake grew up amidst tomes of French literature, but soulful meals, thoughtful music, thrilling sports, and compelling conversations are his true loves. Molly Sides is the dynamic frontwoman for the fiery all-female rock band Thunderpussy. A dancer, teacher, singer, songwriter and much more, she is incandescent. Jimmy James is one of the world's best guitar players. With a distinctive sound all his own, James has topped Billboard charts and is the consummate band leader in groups like The True Loves. Evan Flory-Barnes is a bassist and composer who has been creating and performing music since high school. He has worked with a wide range of artists and bands across various genres, performing across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Africa. Marco Collins has discovered and helped break more bands than some radio stations. His name is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and he's a legend in his own time.

Duodécimo programa dedicado a la temporada 1985-86 de la NBA en el que continuamos el repaso de la fase regular de todos los equipos. En este analizamos a los Detroit Pistons; tanto las expectativas como el desarrollo del curso, los movimientos en la plantilla, el ataque y la defensa, los jugadores, las estadísticas individuales y colectivas, y algunas curiosidades. Tras una buena actuación en la anterior campaña, especialmente en los playoffs, se esperaba que pudieran rendir casi tan bien que los mejores de la liga. Jack McCloskey, el mánager general, sumó a Joe Dumars (draft) y Rick Mahorn (traspaso) a la franquicia. Isiah Thomas seguía estando en la superélite de la NBA. Bill Laimbeer continuó siendo el otro puntal, además del máximo reboteador de la liga, con Kelly Tripucka asentado en el puesto de tercer espada. Vinnie Johnson, «El Microondas», permaneció como el sexto hombre. John Long perdió su puesto en la rotación exterior. Ken Benson acabó el curso como el mejor ala pívot del equipo. Earl Cureton aportó intensidad. El entrenador, Chuck Daly, no fue capaz de mejorar la defensa y el ataque volvió a ser el arma más poderosa de los Pistons. Hablamos sobre todo lo anterior y mucho más. ------ Contacto y redes: - iVoox (Era baloncesto): https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-era-baloncesto_sq_f1687000_1.html - XLS con todos los audios: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k9YiJkMkIMwONwX1onZZTBHBffYVtnlgT2oBebypG0A - Twitter: @erabaloncesto - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@erabaloncesto - Blog: https://erabaloncesto.home.blog - erabaloncesto@gmail.com ------ Sintonía: - Cornflowers (Dee Yan-Key): freemusicarchive.org/music/Dee_Yan-Key/Vacation_Days/01-Dee_Yan-Key-Cornflowers ------ Creado y presentado por José Manuel Gómez y Manuel Álvarez López.

Today I talked to Earl Careton about his new book (co-authored with Jake Uitti), Earl the Twirl: My Life in Basketball (McFarland, 2023) Earl "The Twirl" Cureton was never a star player in the NBA, but then again, few people will ever be a celebrity athlete. Earl's story, instead, is about a life on the fringes of the league during its "Golden Era" of the '80s and '90s. A teammate of Julius Erving, Moses Malone, Michael Jordan, Charles Oakley, Muggsy Bogues, Hakeem Olajuwon, and more, Earl was a part of seven NBA teams in his twelve-season career. He won two championships during his career, first in 1983 with the Philadelphia 76ers, and then in 1994 with the Houston Rockets. And yet, as a professional basketball journeyman, every day was a struggle. Growing up in Detroit during race riots, Earl worked hard and became a standout player at the University of Detroit. A 6' 9" center in the pros, Earl battled with Karem Abdul-Jabbar in back-to-back NBA Finals. While many know the stories of big names like Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird, few understand the life of a player on the outskirts of the league. This is Earl's own story, a unique perspective on the trials of a journeyman player: non-guaranteed contracts, tryouts and cuts, playing overseas, coming back from injury, and the looming "right of first refusal." Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book, The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All was published in 2020.

Trigésimo quinto programa dedicado a la temporada 1983-84 de la NBA en el que continuamos el repaso de los playoffs con la serie de primera ronda del Este disputada entre New York Knicks y Detroit Pistons. Comparamos a equipos, jugadores, banquillos y entrenadores; revisamos uno a uno los partidos y sacamos conclusiones de la eliminatoria. Es una de esas series míticas de la historia de la NBA, de las que hay que ver sí o sí, debido tanto a la actuación de Bernard King (42.6 puntos de media con un acierto del 60 % en tiros de campo) como a los 16 puntos de Isiah Thomas, en apenas 94 segundos, en el final del quinto partido (que fue portentoso e igualado al máximo); también por la remontada de los Knicks en el primer partido gracias a una presión en todo el campo en el último periodo. Pero hubo mucho más: Bill Cartwright anotando mucho y bien, Laimbeer dándole la réplica, los exteriores de New York apretando con todo en defensa, la anotación de Kelly Tripucka y su bigotazo, Cliff Levingston y Earl Cureton metiendo intensidad, Darrell Walker robando balones como churros, y otros temas. ------ Análisis de la temporada regular 83-84 de Knicks: https://go.ivoox.com/rf/83763123 Análisis de la TR de Pistons: https://go.ivoox.com/rf/84617935 ------ Contenido: - 00:00:00 Presentación. - 00:01:15 Análisis previo. - 00:52:50 Primer partido. - 01:23:04 Segundo partido. - 01:38:16 Tercer partido. - 02:22:40 Cuarto partido. - 02:52:09 Quinto partido. - 04:07:20 Conclusiones. - 04:37:05 Cierre (digresiones y comentarios de los oyentes). ------ Contacto y redes: - iVoox (Era baloncesto): https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-era-baloncesto_sq_f1687000_1.html - XLS con todos los audios: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k9YiJkMkIMwONwX1onZZTBHBffYVtnlgT2oBebypG0A/edit?usp=sharing - Twitter: @erabaloncesto - Blog: https://erabaloncesto.home.blog - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFi8v4YXzNGdL3A0pRm5cRQ - erabaloncesto@gmail.com ------ Sintonía: - Cornflowers (Dee Yan-Key): freemusicarchive.org/music/Dee_Yan-Key/Vacation_Days/01-Dee_Yan-Key-Cornflowers ------ Presentado y creado por José Manuel Gómez y Manuel Álvarez López.
