Emi cried out in her heart.Ja: 人々が行き交う中でリングを探すのは、まさに針の穴を通すような困難でした。En: Searching for the ring amid the bustling crowd felt like threading a needle through a tiny hole.Ja: 焦るエミが探し続ける間、リングはたまたま近くを通りがかったRenの足元に転がりました。En: While a frantic Emi continued her search, the ring happened to roll to the feet of Ren, who was passing by.Ja: Renはそれを拾い、不思議そうにリングを眺めました。En: He picked it up and gazed at it curiously.Ja: エミは、リングを持っているRenを見つけ、急いで彼に話しかけました。En: Emi spotted Ren holding the ring and quickly approached him.Ja: 「そのリング、私の大切なものです。」エミは胸をドキドキさせながら説明しました。En: "That ring is something very important to me," Emi explained, her heart pounding.Ja: 「今夜、婚約の予定で...」En: "Tonight, I plan to get engaged..."Ja: Renはしばらく考え込みましたが、すぐにエミにリングを返しました。En: Ren thought for a moment but soon returned the ring to Emi.Ja: 「大切な時のために、どうぞ。」彼は微笑んで言いました。En: "For your important moment, here you go," he said with a smile.Ja: その時、エミは大切なのは家族の期待ではなく、彼との真実の愛だと気づいたのです。En: At that moment, Emi realized that what truly mattered was not her family's expectations but her true love with him.Ja: エミは無事にリングを取り戻し、心からの笑顔でKaitoのもとへ向かいます。En: With the ring safely back in her possession, Emi headed towards Kaito with a heartfelt smile.Ja: 彼女の中には新たな自信が芽生え、全ての期待を乗り越え、二人の絆を信じることができるようになっていました。En: A new confidence blossomed within her, allowing her to overcome all expectations and believe in their bond.Ja: 煌く渋谷の街は、二人の新しい未来を祝福するように優しく彼女を包み込みました。En: The sparkling city of Shibuya gently embraced her, as if blessing their new future together.Ja: クリスマスの夜空に、幸せな鐘の音が響き渡ります。En: In the Christmas night sky, the sound of happy bells resonated.

In this episode of Audio Talks, host Oisin Lunny welcomes Ted Cohen—the “Godfather of Digital Music”—for a masterclass in how technology, culture, and creativity have shaped the modern music industry. From backstage with the Rolling Stones before their Ed Sullivan debut to pioneering digital deals at EMI, Ted's career is a living history of music's transformation. Together, Oisin and Ted trace the arc from analog to digital, exploring how serendipity, artist development, and a relentless curiosity led Ted to work with legends like Fleetwood Mac, Van Halen, Prince, and The Who. Ted shares candid stories from the road, the boardroom, and the cutting edge of innovation—whether sneaking Mark Zuckerberg and Sean Parker into the Grammys, navigating the Napster wars, or launching Amazon Music before streaming was mainstream. The conversation dives into the evolution from distribution to the attention economy, the rise of AI and creative tools, and the shifting boundaries between consumption and experience. Ted reflects on the lessons learned (and missed) by the industry, the importance of building your “village,” and why kindness is the ultimate long game.

Stāsta muzikologs, Mākslas zinātņu doktors, Latvijas Radio bijušais ģenerāldirektors (1992‒1995) Arnolds Klotiņš; pārraides producente – Rūta Paula    Būdams sava laika izcilākais latviešu koncertērģelnieks, viņš neatteicās sēsties pie ērģelēm arī tālās lauku baznīcās, kur, starp citu, ērģeļu stabulēs gaisu pumpēja nevis elektromotors, bet īpašs plēšu minējs. Tā nu Kalniņš atbrauc uz kādu lauku baznīciņu un pirms koncerta iet palūkot, vai un kā ar vietējo instrumentu varēs izspēlēt Baha Re mažora prelūdiju un fūgu. Pēc brītiņa vietējais pērminderis, piekusis no ērģeļu plēšu mīšanas, pienāk, ieskatās notīs un saka: "Ak tad profesora kungs mācās spēlēšanu ar diviem krustiņiem pie nošu atslēgas! Mana meita mājās uz klavierēm gan jau spēlē ar trīs krustiņiem." Pret tādu dzelzs loģiku arī Alfrēdam Kalniņam trūkst argumentu, un jālaiž vien plēšu minējs uz mājām pirms koncerta atpūtināt kājas... Var jautāt, kad īsti un kur komponēta Alfrēda Kalniņa opera "Baņuta". Pēckara okupācijas gados Latvijā tika ieviests jēdziens  "pirmspadomju mūzika", lai apzīmētu to mūziku, kas tapusi pirms 1940. gada. Lai tādus skaņdarbus neuzskatītu par pēdējo šķiru un tomēr popularizētu, bija ieteicams tiem meklēt kaut kādus kaut netiešus sakarus ar tā saucamo padomju varu. Arī operu "Baņuta" un tās komponēšanu mēdza visādi tuvināt 1919. gada īsajam Pētera Stučkas Padomju Latvijas laikam. Patiesībā, kā liecina paša komponista un viņa laikabiedru atmiņas, "Baņuta" komponēta nevis 1919., bet Liepājā 1918. gadā no augusta līdz oktobrim, kad Kalniņš kopā ar Kārļa Ulmaņa Ministru kabinetu bija iesprostots Liepājā, aiz uzbrūkošās Sarkanās armijas frontes līnijas. Alfrēds Kalniņš atmiņās raksta: "Viss operas uzmetums veikts tikai Liepājas Peldparkā [t. i. Piejūras apstādījumos] rīta stundās, kamēr tur staigātāju tikpat kā nebija. Instrumentāciju veicu mājās, kas bija tuvu parkam." "Baņuta" un tās komponists ar ģimeni sasniedz Rīgu tikai 1919. gada oktobrī, kad Latvijas valdība ir aicinājusi darbam izglītības ministrijā, un šī atgriešanās Rīgā notiek visai dramatiskos apstākļos. "Baņutas" nošu partitūra kopā ar jau izrakstītām instrumentu partijām, tātad lieli nošu saiņi, kopā ar ģimeni un iedzīvi ceļo no Liepājas uz Rīgu tai pašā kuģī, ar kuru mazliet agrāk atgriezusies Kārļa Ulmaņa valdība. Šoreiz kuģeļa pietauvošanās krastā notiek tieši tajā naktī, kad izraisās Bermonta armijas uzbrukums Rīgai. Par kāpšanu krastā nav ko domāt, tā var notikt tikai  nākamajā naktī, granātām visapkārt sprāgstot, kad kuģim aizsardzības uzdevumā nekavējoties jādodas jūrā, un tik lielā steigā, ka "Baņutas" vienīgā eksemplāra nošu saiņi tiek atstāti kuģa rūmēs un aiziet jūriņā, nezināmā virzienā. Tikai pēc vairākām nedēļām operas "Baņuta" nošu saiņi laimīgi atgriežas krastā. Bet varēja neatgriezties. Gados pēc Otrā pasaules kara Latvijas Valsts izdevniecības nošu izdošanas redakciju vadīja kāds Krievijā līdz 1945. gadam dzīvojis latvietis, kurš Krievijā bija strādājis milicijā un citos iekšlietu orgānos. Atceros pats, studiju gados šai nošu redakcijā strādādams, šo mazrunīgo Visvaldi Danenbergu, mūzikā lielu neprašu. Reiz redakcijas nošu izdošanas darbs apspriests Komponistu savienībā, piedaloties arī Alfrēdam Kalniņam. Klātesošie atzīmējuši daudzās izdevumu iespiedkļūdas, izdošanas termiņu neievērošanu un citas parastās nekārtības. Beidzot, balto bārdu glaudīdams, piecēlies Alfrēds Kalniņš un, acīm zobgalīgi zibot, nopietni teicis: "Nesaprotu, kā var kaut kas nebūt kārtībā iestādē, šinī gadījumā mūzikas apgādā, ko pārrauga un vada milicis..." Tuvojoties 1949. gadam ar Staļina dzimšanas dienu, kompartijas amatpersonas par latviešu padevības zīmi bija iecerējušas mākslas darbinieku apsveikuma darbus. Bija ieplānots arī Staļinam veltīts klavierdarbu krājums, un Komponistu savienībai uzdots izdabūt šos veltījuma darbus no autoriem. Alfrēds Kalniņš mazā zīmītē, noraidot šādu uzaicinājumu, Komponistu savienības lietvedei rakstīja: "Pie šī gadījuma man Jums jāziņo, ka klavierdarbiņš no manis nav gaidāms, katrā ziņā ne tik drīz kā vajadzētu. Žēl." Šis beidzamais trīs burtu vārdiņš "žēl" bija ne mazāk smalki iesmaržots un ironisks kā Kalniņa jaunības gadu drauga Emiļa Melngaiļa aizbildināšanās līdzīgā gadījumā. Proti, kad Melngailim paskaidrots, ka varot jau Staļinam veltīt arī kaut ko vienkārši tautisku, kā piemēram viņa nesen komponētais dejiskais gabaliņš ar nosaukumu "Caunas solis", tad Melngaiļa atbilde bijusi ne mazāk, bet citādi iesmaržota: "Jā," viņš atcirtis, "bet šinī gadījumā man padomā būtu vienīgi "Seska solis"!". Tā nu redzam, ka mūsu mūzikas klasiķiem mēles bijušas visai labi trītas.                                                        

Il y a des expériences qui bouleversent une vie entière.Et d'autres qui ouvrent des portes qu'on ne soupçonnait même pas.Dans cet épisode, Josy partage pour la première fois publiquement une part profondément intime de son histoire : Un geste désespéré suivi de son expérience de mort imminente, et tout ce qu'elle a déclenché ensuite.C'est le récit d'un passage, d'un avant et d'un après.Une ouverture progressive à sa sensibilité, à l'invisible, aux synchronicités…Jusqu'à ce chemin qui l'a menée, avec le temps, vers l'éveil spirituel, l'accompagnement des autres, puis la cartomancie et la médiumnité.Josy parle avec beaucoup d'émotions, de simplicité et de vérité.De ce qu'elle a perçu durant cette expérience.De ce qu'elle n'avait jamais osé nommer, même auprès de ses proches.Et de la manière dont la spiritualité s'est imposée à elle, non pas comme une croyance, mais comme une évidence vécue.C'est un épisode profondément humain que je honorée d'avoir recueilli et de te partager aujourd'hui.Et une invitation à écouter ces moments de bascule qui, parfois, redessinent une trajectoire entière.Retrouve Josy sur son compte Facebook et sur le numéro de téléphone qu'elle a partagé à la fin de l'épisode https://www.facebook.com/josiane.bonny

Enseigner des notions de citoyenneté et de mémoire à des élèves privés de liberté, c'est un défi. Laurent Blanchard est responsable local d'enseignement de l'ULE (unité locale d'enseignement) de la maison d'arrêt de Strasbourg. Depuis 9 ans, il met en place le module « Seconde Guerre mondiale et travail de mémoire » destiné à faire vivre le parcours citoyen et à susciter la réflexion sur les notions de liberté, de citoyenneté, d'engagement ou encore d'unité nationale et européenne. Les personnes détenues restent citoyennes malgré l'incarcération. Mais elles votent peu, s'engagent rarement, ne sont pas reconnues dans leur citoyenneté. L'idée fondamentale est de leur proposer de vivre à l'intérieur de la prison ce qu'elles pourraient vivre à l'extérieur telle qu'une commémoration. Le but : les équiper au mieux en vue d'une future réintégration dans la société.Extra classe a besoin de vous : renseignez notre enquête utilisateurs !Ces épisodes Extra classe peuvent vous intéresser :Enseigner à des mineurs en prison - Les Énergies scolaires #102.La playlist Enseigner la mémoire et la citoyenneté.Vous pouvez aussi consulter :La page Valeurs de la République de Réseau Canopé : Podcasts : ils partagent les valeurs de la République auprès d'adolescents incarcérés.La page éduscol Le parcours citoyen de l'élève.Extra classe à écouter et à partager sur toutes vos plateformes d'écoute :https://smartlink.ausha.co/extra-classeExtra classe, des podcasts produits par Réseau Canopé.

This playlist is 65% vinyl friendly. Very poor. Scorchio! ‘1960/1970 Vintage Stereo Design Record Player, in bright orange, the emblematic colour of the 1960 and an example of Mod Ultra Space Age Pop Art Raymond Loewy? France French Designer Museum-worthy‘ says the Etsy seller, adding ‘It has a few cracks, one of the speakers has a small tear in the cloth and may need an overhaul, a full check up to see how and if it works and if it is complete… WE HAVE NEVER TRIED TO USE IT AND I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WORKS OR PLAYS.‘ Thank flip it’s down to €4600, from €7100. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms tweak/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a bit dodgy, quality-wise. On top of that, the switch between different decades and production values never helps in the mix here. And a bit of a croak in my voice here and there. A temporary glitch, hopefully. Lyric of Playlist 146 Trickery involved but it has to be The Bots! 00.00 (Intro) THE FLAMINGOS – Stars (Edit) – Unreleased demo – 1983. Episode #1 for info. 00.41 NEW ORDER – Ruined In A Day (Reading Festival, 1993) – In Concert – 577, CD – BBC Transcription – 1993 I and my four-year-old, Alice were there, on what was a triumphant return, with the wonderful ‘Ruined’ in amongst new numbers from the band’s then recently released Republic album nobody would have previously heard in a live setting. BBC Transcription Services recordings – produced to service radio stations and usually for a very limited time frame for broadcast – had moved from vinyl to CD but with runs still only in their low hundreds New Order completists would be struggling to own a copy of this one… and I don’t. 04.42 MERIC LONG – A Small Act Of Defiance – Kablooey, LP – Polyvinyl Record Company – 2025 Book-ending a bunch of releases through the years as a member of The Dodos, Kablooey is seemingly Long’s first solo release under his own name since 2006. 07.43 BIOCHEMICAL DREAD – False Kings Of The Earth – 12″ – Pulsolid – 2004 Besides his work with Cabaret Voltaire this 12″ demonstrates there are gaps in my knowledge of Richard H. Kirk’s lengthy discography elsewhere. A copy of ‘False Kings… ‘ however is currently heading my way. RIP, Richard. 13.21 DARKSIDE – One Last Nothing – Download only – Matador – 2025 Including a past member of the 41 Rooms playlist parish, Nicolas Jaar, a US trio currently NOT releasing a 12″, though their Bandcamp visual hints otherwise. 18.32 AGENTS WITH FALSE MEMORIES – Agents With False Memories (extract), CD only – Ash International / Soleilmoon Recordings – 1996 Extract, indeed as Richard H. Kirk promptly returns to show 146 with this four minute snippet from a 53 minute track. 22.34 HUMANIZER – Shinobi – ? – ? – 2000s? Ignoring the slight Liam Gallagher drawl and with zero connection to any Death Metal band of the same name, this might have been Manchester sourced… and maybe with a Peter Hook connection. That’s what I’m vaguely remembering… from over a decade ago. Dunno… A ‘demo’ version, minus vocals, might also get an outing here at some point. 27.08 DIFFERENT GEAR – A Little Bit Paranoid (Extended Mix) * – 12″ – City Rockers – 2002 Courtesy of a ‘Phil Dirtbox’, the vocal is the winner here. 32.59 MERZ – Sorrow In The Sky (Nightingale Vs The Crow) – 7″ b-side – Lotus Records – 2002 The stuff that people sing about… and here with gusto and passion, to boot! 36.55 LUSCIOUS JACKSON – Why Do I Lie? (Sessions at 54th, 11.97) – Stream only – 1997 Vocalist, Jill Cunniff’s tale of lying sounding best live! 40.13 THE POPPY FAMILY – I Was Wondering – 7″ – London – 1971 A bit of a strange arrangement, this one. Albeit with a key change in there – verses with no choruses! Weird and wonderful… and maybe a bit brave in the pop world of the early ’70s, where the only PF track I remember hearing as a young teen was Which Way Are You Going Billy? That won’t be getting a 41 Rooms spin. 42.43 SOPHIE JAMIESON – Camera – I Still Want To Share, LP – Bella Union – 2025 Being over in Brighton recently it seemed appropriate I buy her clear vinyl album from the Bella Union shop and re Camera? It’s the subtle build in Sophie’s vocal and she’ll be here again at some point. 46.59 MARTYN BATES – The Rhyme Of Miracles – Arriving Fire, CD only – Ambivalent Scale – 2014 Martyn instils presence in a tune like few others for me. 50.28 JOSE FELICIANO – First Of May – 7″ b-side – RCA – 1969 ‘Feliciano seems to be on a heavy Bee Gees kick… after ‘Marley Purt Drive,’ he now does ‘First Of May’ and ‘Gotta Get A Message To You.’ And with his highly stylised projection, Jose manages to make them sound totally removed from anything the Gibb brothers originated’. – Disc (edited review of the album, 10 to 23), 15.11.69. As far as I know the Bee Gees tune was only ever released on a 7″ (my ‘format of choice’) for Jose in Mexico, New Zealand, Philippines and Spain and never as an A-side and arranger, Al Capps most probably winced if he ever got to see the NZ pressing below. Strangely, Jose’s very rarely performed the song live. I’ve only noted it three times, including two at London’s Jazz Cafe, in 1996 and again in 1998 and at the former it surfaced nearly under duress. With the audience (maybe unsurprisingly) constantly shouting out for past JF favourites Jose countered, ‘You know there’s a lot of songs you people ask me for that unfortunately… and I’m not being rude, a lot of artists are rude, they do it on purpose, but some of the songs that you ask me to sing, do you know that I haven’t sung them in years and I’ve forgotten the words and rather than make an ass out of myself that’s why I don’t sing them, OK? So, don’t take it personal… I don’t sing those songs anymore. But I’ll tell you what though there’s some that you ask for that I do remember, like this one. I hope that this one will satisfy you.’ That rare sighting was even more surprising considering Jose had taken the rare move of including his own recording of the song when guesting on Brian Matthew’s My Top Twelve for BBC Radio 1 back in June 1974. 54.11 JAPAN – Alien – Quiet Life, LP – Ariola Hansa – 1980 Bedford: Heronscroft, Putnoe, 1980 and Winkles, 1981… with a few Japan gigs thrown in at the time. 58.47 JOHN CALE – Chinese Envoy (M:FANS) – M: FANS, 2 LP – Double Six – 2016 ‘Approached as a reinterpretation of Cale's 1982 improvisational album, Music for a New Society… M:FANS is something of a funhouse mirror reflection of that work, using the basic song-structures of the original album as a starting point and using time, experience and the technological advances of the ensuing years to bring a new focus to the tunes. Some selections are comfortably familiar, while others have a significantly different footprint‘. – KCRW 01.02.32 ICEHOUSE – No Promises (Dance Mix) * – 12″ – Chrysalis – 1990 Fully five years after the track had seemingly done its thing it got an extended outing in Spain. 01.07.58 DAVID BOWIE – This Is Not America (BBC concert) – Bowie At The Beeb, 2CD – EMI – 2000 Part of Bowie’s special set for a small invited audience at the BBC’s Radio Theatre, in London, June 2000. 01.11.29 JOHNNY KEATING – Theme from Z-Cars (Johnny Todd) – 7″ – Piccadilly – 1962 Did I realise the grittier scripts involved here than had been delivered by Jack Warner’s strolling forerunner, Dixon Of Dock Green? Nah, I was five when Z-Cars kicked off but the theme (based on the traditional folk song, Johnny Todd) still brings a fuzzy feel. And Wikipedia will give you the full story on why Everton FC players come out to the tune at home games. 01.13.22 MARC COHN – ‘Walking in Memphis (Mahna Mahna)’ – Stream only – 1990’s? Cohn definitely wouldn’t have seen this coming, as the self proclaiming Mahna Mahna and the Snowths duo upstage him in a short but cheeky mashup (of sorts) I happened on via Youtube a couple of decades ago. I’ll openly admit I was a Muppets fan when they first aired on UK TV back in the mid ’70s and with Statler & Waldorf the stars for me I remember walking my girlfriend of the time, Jill home from work and then running up the hill to my house to record the show. Pre the age of video recorders, at one point there was a stack of ten to twenty AGFA(!!) cassette tapes of the shows in my bedroom. Getting back to Cohn, the fact he’s ‘racing’ a bit here actually adds to the cheeriness and I salute whoever was involved. 01.14.44 BERNARD CRIBBINS – The Hole In The Ground – 7″ – Parlophone – 1962 And like the Z-Cars theme I was five when this was released and I’d have definitely been singing this one in the years close after – and weirdly, although it’s the second tune from ’62 on this show, it’s not the last. 01.16.27 THE BOTS – Fuzzy Math – George W. Bush Greatest Hits, v/artists, CDr only – Spin The World – 2004 I heard this cut and paste work of art somewhere around its ‘release’ and as of 2004… ‘… utilizing the revolutionary Presidential Truth Filter(PTF). The PTF operates like this: All presidential statements are recorded, and made into a huge database. The database is searchable by speech, phrase, keyword, emotional intensity, etc. In parallel, an analysis is made of the historical circumstances of the particular presidency. The question must be asked, what is this man (all men so far…) really all about? What is a defining characteristic of this presidency? The final question which must be addressed by the PTF is, how can we use the assets in the database to concatenate the truth, and make the President speak it? The first attempt was Bushwack, in 1992. This turned into a huge hit before the Presidential election in 1992, though BMI denied that it was ever on the air at all. Through October of that year, stations such as San Francisco’s Live105 were playing it almost hourly. In 1997 Rock The House was a popular download at an early digital music download startup, muzic.com. In 2003 Bushwack2 was released at about the start of the Iraq war. The mood of the song is quite grim, as the truth of those times was interpreted by the PTF. In 2004, the PTF was reprogrammed to emphasize economics and general silliness, and Fuzzy Math was born. We think it’s the best one yet. Judge the results for yourself’. – thebots.net 01.19.26 DREXCIYA – Black Sea – The Journey Home, 12″ EP – Warp – 1995 First heard on either of Colin Faver’s or Colin Dale’s techno shows on KISS FM. Sounds more likely it was the former. 01.24.58 E-DANCER – Heavenly * – 12″ – KMS – 1997 The Inner City (‘Big Fun’) man, Kevin Saunderson with his techno head on. 01.28.51 CHARLES WEBSTER – Your Life * – 12″ – Peacefrog – 2000 Pitched up a bit (‘+3%’ says my file iD) this is a class slice of soulful techno/house. 01.33.11 CHARLOTTE DAY WILSON – Selfish – Download only – Stone Woman Music – 2025 This r&b musician has been around for a decade or so but I wouldn’t have guessed, judging by this slight departure to a ’90s UK garage feel (first half anyway). It suits her. 01.36.48 BENCH – Felice – Bliss, 2LP – Cylinder Recordings – 2000 The fifth appearance on 41 Rooms to date for this pretty much forgotten duo. 01.39.36 BLUE STATES – Your Girl – 12″ EP – Memphis Industries – 1999 First heard on a compilation CD a mate of mine, Sid put together, of fave tracks forwarded by mates of his. Not their own tracks, you understand. 01.43.45 THE MIRACLES – I’ll Try Something New – 7″ – Tamla – 1962 Hellfire! Those breakdown strings mid way are a bit of a jolt! Easy, Smokey! Writer, Robinson’s own version is actually the third to make it to 41 Rooms and his vocal arrangement sounds more like a remake than either Kiki Dee’s ‘straighter’ take or even the Supremes and Temptations stab at the song, when chronologically they both followed this Miracles single. 01.46.14 SMITH & MUDD – Blue River – 2LP – Claremont 56 – 2007 Electronic… downtempo… shuffling… drifting… or maybe flowing. 01.48.38 MERZ – A.M. (Good Morning) * – Single-sided, white label 12″ only – 1995 The second artist to return this show, multi instrumentalist and songwriter, Conrad Merz and his at times very idiosyncratic vocal (‘Many Weathers Apart’, for instance) seem to have trodden their own path through the years. 01.53.45 CRAIG ARMSTRONG (feat ELIZABETH FRASER) – This Love (& The Life That I Have) * – 41 Rooms Soft Mash Up only – Early 2000s I grabbed the extra voice – Virginia McKenna as Second World War spy Violette Szabo, reading the code poem The Life That I Have at the end of the film Carve Her Name With Pride – fully thirty plus years ago and I had a stab at floating it over This Love a long time ago but recently had another go. Aided by Jazz The Glass, we pitched her down slightly and then I took out a chunk of the poem in the second half.

As ever the big-picture choices in the Budget dominated media coverage - but some of the most interesting changes were buried in the detail. From electric vehicles to tourist tax, how much do these quieter tax shifts really matter?In this episode, we dig into the lesser-noticed policies: why the government is offering upfront EV grants while planning a per-mile tax, how tweaks to salary sacrifice and cash ISAs could shape saving behaviour, and what the changes to EIS and EMI mean for investment and entrepreneurship. Joining Helen are Stuart Adam and Ben Zaranko from the IFS to break down what's changed, why it matters, and what the “devil in the detail” tells us about the government's tax strategy.Become a member: https://ifs.org.uk/individual-membershipFind out more: https://ifs.org.uk/podcasts-explainers-and-calculators/podcasts Hosted on Acast.

This week, Monika breaks down the surprising 8.2% GDP growth print for India's July–September quarter, and why the cheer hasn't shown up in the stock market. She revisits the GDP formula and unpacks the drivers — strong private consumption, resilient services growth, a manufacturing boost from PLI schemes and GST cuts, and a surge in MSME credit that signals broad-based momentum. With India on track for ~7.5% growth this year, the fastest among major economies, Monika explains why this is solid, real activity rather than price-led nominal growth, and how that strength is built on rural spending, good monsoons and recent tax breaks.Monika then turns to the puzzle of why markets remain flat despite a booming economy. She outlines three reasons: money being pulled into IPOs, gold and silver instead of the secondary market; exceptionally low inflation reducing the GDP deflator and therefore nominal growth (the number that drives corporate revenues, profits and market valuations); and stretched valuations that still need cooling. Even so, she emphasises that long-term investors should stay disciplined, maintain asset allocation across debt and equity, and rebalance if needed — the structural growth story remains intact. She also previews next week's discussion on the RBI's rate decision and what it means for households.In listener questions, Shivam asks whether to prepay a low-rate education loan or invest aggressively, and how he and his wife should structure ₹1 lakh of monthly SIPs; Monika explains why, given their stability, keeping the loan and investing for growth works. Piyush writes in from a severe debt trap with home loans, personal loans and card dues far exceeding income; Monika urges him to involve family, liquidate assets and seek structured help through a debt resolution service. Anup, writing from Germany, wants to sell two residential plots and eventually buy a home in India; Monika points him toward Sections 54 and 54F, suggests consulting a CA on capital-gains planning, and outlines why a short-term loan followed by staggered asset sales may be practical.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) Why GDP Is Hot but Markets Are Cool(00:00 – 00:00) Understanding the Drivers Behind India's Surprising Q2 GDP(00:00 – 00:00) EMI vs Investing: Navigating a Low-Interest Education Loan(00:00 – 00:00) Escaping a Debt Trap: Practical Steps When Repayments Overwhelm(00:00 – 00:00) Selling Plots or Taking a Loan: Smart Strategies for Buying a Home in Indiahttps://freed.care/ https://cleartax.in/s/section-54-capital-gains-exemption#h6If you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at ⁠mailme@monikahalan.com⁠ Monika's book on basic money management⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monika's book on mutual funds⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/⁠⁠⁠⁠Monika's workbook on recording your financial life⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Calculators⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.html⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan. Twitter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn ⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠Production House: ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.inoutcreatives.com⁠⁠⁠⁠Production Assistant:⁠⁠⁠⁠ Anshika Gogoi⁠⁠⁠

In 1963, Capitol Records considered the Beatles “a band who looked and sounded weird with an odd name and no leader” and refused to release their records in America, despite being owned by EMI.

1980 hat die Band Fehlfarben mit "Monarchie und Alltag" ihr Debütalbum rausgebracht und damit ein prägendes Werk der deutschen Punkszene geschaffen. Zu Gast bei uns im Podcast sind Sänger Peter Hein und Gitarrist Thomas Schwebel. Das "Wohnzimmer und die Keimzelle" der Fehlfarben, so beschreibt Katharina Heinius es im Podcast, war der Ratingerhof in Düsseldorf, ein bekannter Szenetreff für Künstler und Punks in der Düsseldorfer Altstadt. Wie passend, dass auch hier die Geschichte der Fehlfarben startet. Bevor die Fehlfarben hier begonnen haben, hatten alle Mitglieder auch schon in anderen Punkbands aus dem Umfeld des Ratingerhofs gespielt und wurden teilweise sogar abgeworben. Vom linken Szenetreff mit Punks und Künstlern sind die Fehlfarben für die Aufnahmen zum ersten Album schnell aufgestiegen. Den Plattenvertrag gab's bei EMI, keinem kleinen Punklabel, sondern einer großen internationalen Firma. Passend zum großen Namen der Plattenfirma durften die Fehlfarben ihr Album "Monarchie und Alltag" auch in einem namhaften Tonstudio aufnehmen, den Maarweg Studios. In denen hatten zuvor schon die Rolling Stones aufgenommen und Jahre später würde auch Herbert Grönemeyer hier sein Album "Mensch" aufnehmen. Für Musikredakteur Stephan Fahrig hat "Monarchie und Alltag" das Prädikat Meilensteine vor allem schon dadurch erlangt, dass es textlich herausragend ist. "Es war so passend in der Zeit", erklärt Stephan Fahrig. Bei ihm haben sich einzelne Textzeilen und Wörter aus den Fehlfarben Songs in seiner Schulzeit sogar in seine Alltagssprache gebahnt. Ein Punkalbum war "Monarchie und Alltag" für Stephan Fahrig dabei nie. Im Podcast erzählt Thomas Schwebel von seinem ganz persönlichen Vermächtnis von "Monarchie und Alltag". Wenn man so ein erfolgreiches Album gemacht hat, dann hat das ein Leben schon persönlich sehr geprägt, erzählt der ehemalige Gitarrist der Band. Neben den Geschichten zum Album und der Musik sprechen wir im Podcast zu "Monarchie und Alltag" auch über die Bandsituation und das Leben der Fehlfarben. Diese Chance muss man schließlich nutzen, wenn zwei (ehemalige) Bandmitglieder selbst im Podcast sind. Gemeinsam mit Katharina Heinius und Stephan Fahrig sprechen die beiden Mitglieder der Fehlfarben Thomas Schwebel und Peter Hein auch darüber warum Peter Hein damals die Band verlassen hat, um wen genau es im Song "Grauschleier" eigentlich geht, wie die Texte entstanden sind und noch vieles mehr aus der Geschichte der Band. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Monarchie und Alltag" sprechen wir im Podcast (19:03) – "Ein Jahr (Es geht voran)"(32:23) – "Grauschleier"(39:22) – "Gottseidank nicht in England"(42:00) – "All That Heaven Allows"(49:19) – "Paul ist tot" __________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge "Monarchie und Alltag" findet ihr hier: https://1.ard.de/fehlfarben_monarchie_und_alltag __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Before Operation: Mindcrime, there was this.Queensrÿche's 1984 debut The Warning is the album that almost didn't happen—at least not the way the band intended. While they were touring Japan, EMI executives remixed and completely rearranged their progressive metal masterpiece without permission, burying the band's weirdest, most ambitious material deeper in the tracklist. But even with corporate interference, The Warning stands as a pivotal moment in metal history: a Seattle band crafting something that sounded like nothing else in 1984, blending Iron Maiden gallops with Genesis-level prog complexity and Jeff Tate's otherworldly operatic vocals.In this episode, we break down why this debut matters—not just as a stepping stone to Mindcrime and Empire, but as a document of a band discovering their identity in real time. We debate whether it's a hidden gem or a rough draft, explore the label drama that reshaped the album's sequence, and dive into the tracks that reveal Queensrÿche's DNA: from the Maiden-esque power of “Deliverance” to the robotic sci-fi weirdness of “NM 156.” This is Double-A ball before the majors—you can see the talent, hear the potential, and witness five musicians isolated in Seattle creating something that would change progressive metal forever.If you love Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Fates Warning, or Dream Theater, this episode is for you.Episode Highlights0:00 – Intro: Poll results and how The Warning won the Metal Union vote5:23 – Album context: Queensrÿche in 1984—Seattle isolation and the progressive metal blueprint12:45 – “Deliverance” – The opening track that wasn't supposed to open the album18:32 – The EMI remix controversy: How the label rearranged the album while the band toured Japan24:15 – “NM 156” – The weird, jazzy, robotic prog odyssey that terrified record executives31:40 – Jeff Tate's voice at 24: Operatic range, theatrical character work, and why he's more than just “metal Bruce Dickinson”38:50 – “Take Hold of the Flame” – The anthem that hints at Operation: Mindcrime44:20 – Geography matters: Why being in Seattle (not L.A.) saved this band from breaking up51:10 – “Road to Madness” – Epic ambition or forced prog?

1975 veröffentlichten Queen ihr viertes Studioalbum "A Night At The Opera", das für viele bis heute als ihr größtes Werk gilt. Auf dem Album befindet sich auch der legendäre Hit "Bohemian Rhapsody". Der Albumtitel lässt es schon erahnen, bei "A Night At The Opera" handelt es sich um ein Meisterwerk, das wie eine Oper klingt. In diesem Jahr feiert die Platte 50-jähriges Jubiläum. Zum Zeitpunkt seiner Veröffentlichung war "A Night At The Opera" das teuerste Album, das je aufgenommen wurde. Queen standen damals aufgrund von Management- und Vertragsproblemen kurz vor dem finanziellen Ruin. Obwohl das vorherige Album "Sheer Heart Attack" ein kommerzieller Erfolg war, sah die Band kaum etwas von den Einnahmen. Ihr damaliges Label Trient zahlte ihnen wöchentlich gerade mal 60 Pfund. Zusätzlich gab es Streit mit ihrem damaligen Manager Norman Sheffield. 1974 trennten sich Queen von Trient und von Sheffield, wechselten zu EMI und begannen unter ihrem neuen Manager John Reid die Produktion von "A Night At The Opera". Brian May beschrieb das Album einmal sogar als entscheidend für das Fortbestehen von Queen. Zum bis dahin teuersten Album überhaupt wurde es unter anderem, weil die Aufnahmen in sieben verschiedenen Studios stattfanden. Im Sommer 1975 zogen sich Queen aus London zurück und probten in einer Scheune auf einer Farm im Süden Englands. Zwischendurch arbeiteten sie in den Rockfield Studios in Wales, bevor sie die Produktion in verschiedenen Londoner Studios fortsetzten. "Bohemian Rhapsody" gehört zu den größten Hits von Queen und vermutlich zu den wichtigsten Songs der Rockgeschichte. Die Geschichte dahinter ist genauso außergewöhnlich wie der Song selbst. Freddie Mercury hatte bereits Ende der 1960er-Jahre die ersten Grundideen zu "Bohemian Rhapsody". 2023 kam heraus, dass das Lied ursprünglich "Mongolian Rhapsody" hieß. Diesen Titel hatte Mercury 1974 auf einem Briefpapier notiert. Warum aus "Mongolian" schließlich "Bohemian" wurde, bleibt bis heute ein Rätsel. Klar ist jedoch, dass das Wort "Bohemian" im künstlerischen Kontext einen Freigeist beschreibt, jemanden, der sich nicht an vorgegebene Strukturen hält. Genau das trifft sowohl auf Freddie Mercury als auch auf "Bohemian Rhapsody" zu. Der Song löst sich von traditionellen Konventionen. Meilensteine-Redakteurin Katharina Heinius erklärt, dass er aus drei Elementen besteht: einer Ballade am Anfang, einem Opernteil in der Mitte und einem Rockpart am Ende. Mit einer Länge von fünf Minuten und 55 Sekunden entspricht das Lied zudem kaum einem typischen Hitmuster, weshalb sich das Label zuvor fragte, ob es gut ankommen würde. Queen setzten sich dennoch durch. Das Lied blieb so, wie es gedacht war, und wurde zunächst stückchenweise im Radio gespielt. Die Neugier der Fans wuchs dadurch nur noch mehr und verschaffte "Bohemian Rhapsody" am Ende die Aufmerksamkeit, die es verdient. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "A Night At The Opera" sprechen wir im Podcast (03:11) – "'39" (11:20) – "Death On Two Legs"(21:10) – "I'm In Love With My Car"(28:44) – "You're My Best Friend"(36:00) – "Love Of My Life"(39:04) – "Good Company"(49:06) – "Bohemian Rhapsody" __________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge "A Night At The Opera" findet ihr hier: https://1.ard.de/queen-a-night-at-the-opera __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

This has been the hardest ep of BYAMPOD ever to put together. It's another experiment with Suno, throwing new light on some Marillion old songs using some of the website's new features - but we take a different approach to last time. We tried to bring new life to some pre-EMI demos, and reimagined the back catalogue in wildly different ways to shed new light on the music. It's further terrifying evidence of what AI can do... but also, reassuringly, a demonstration of what it can'tyet do and probably never will. We'd never take an AI Marillion - or any musician - over the real thing. The fact this ep has taken days to make shows just how limited it is. It's also an epic of an episode, so you might want to break it up. ..Watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PaulAndSanjaSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MrBiffo Hosted on Acast.

BioVale! ULB The Sound of Cabana Bounce. Most of Vale! ULB's lyrics flow effortlessly between Spanish and English, but even if you don't speak the language, their energy translates loud and clear. Their latest single, “Devórame,” is a high-speed, high-energy celebration from a five-member band that has crafted an entirely new genre where the primary language is fun.“The band made a new genre called Cabana Bounce,” says lead vocalist Val. “Most of our songs are about joy, movement, and connection. ‘Devórame' is one of them.”Born in Colombia and raised in a musically rich family, Val is the daughter of Dante Vargas, a multi Latin Grammy Award-winning musician and producer from Peru. Her dual heritage shines through her powerhouse voice strong, expressive, and versatile enough to adapt to any sound the band explores.“Devórame,” which translates to “Devour Me,” captures that playful and passionate essence. “It's not a romantic song,” explains trumpeter Emi, “it's about confidence, presence, and living in the moment.”Come take a bite of me now / Before it's too late papi / Come take me down / Baby devórame ya.In this context, ya literally meaning “already” becomes a demand for right now.The Band's Global RootsVale! ULB is a collective of musicians whose diverse cultural backgrounds shape the band's vibrant sound:Val – Lead Vocals (Colombia/Peru)Emi – Trumpet (Argentina)Anier – Percussion (Cuba)Friki – Guitar (Cuba), son of a founder of the legendary Buena Vista Social ClubDeezle – Bass, Production, and Vocals (New Orleans, USA)The “ULB” in their name stands for United Latin Band, while Vale! is colloquial Spanish for “Let's go!” a perfect reflection of their energy and message.“The band is all about celebration,” says Val. “We're from Miami, and our producer is from New Orleans. So, New Orleans plus Miami equals party.”Deezle adds, “We love so many kinds of music and can play almost anything. Imagine taking a little of the Black Eyed Peas, some No Doubt, some Santana, some Stevie Wonder and then pouring gumbo juice on top.”A Band of Acclaimed TalentEach member of Vale! ULB brings a deep professional pedigree to the group:Deezle is a three-time Grammy-winning producer who's worked with Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj.Emi is also a Grammy winner, with credits including The United States vs. Billie Holiday soundtrack and tours with Ricky Martin and Marc Anthony.Anier is a multi-time champion of Cuba's Fiesta del Tambor (Festival of Drums).Carlos “Los” Battey, the band's manager, is a Grammy-winning songwriter and music executive who has penned hits for Madonna, Justin Bieber, Jason Derulo, David Guetta, Chris Brown, and more.“Los isn't just a managerhe's part of the creative process,” says Emi. “He's in the studio with us, collaborating and shaping songs. He's the real deal.”The Creation of Vale! ULBThe band's story began when a music executive contacted Deezle about developing a group of talented musicians. “They flew me to LA, we got a band house, and ordered all the gear,” recalls Deezle. “Within 30 minutes of setting up, we wrote our first song. Everything just clicked.”Soon after, Emi joined as music director and invited Val to front the band. When the original guitarist left, Friki joined, and Vale! ULB officially took shape.“We complement each other perfectly,” says Emi. “It's like a puzzle where every piece just fits.”“Our band shows how people from different walks of life different backgrounds, cultures, and opinions can come together to create something powerful,” adds Deezle. “We've got that chemistry unlocked.”The Future of Cabana BounceVale! ULB's music embodies warmth, rhythm, and pure joy what they call Cabana Bounce. “It's like sunshine, a poolside party, full of color and life,” says Deezle. “It's a mix of all our flavors from every country and city we represent.”“Devórame” is the band's fourth single this year, and their momentum is just getting started. The team plans to release more singles, videos, and eventually an EP and full album. Manager Carlos is also developing an interactive virtual concert experience on platforms like Discord or Patreon, making it easy for fans worldwide to tune in and celebrate together.“For me,” says Val, “one of our biggest goals is to perform live and connect with people around the world.”“We're limitless,” concludes Deezle. “We never wanted to be confined to one sound. We're musicians first and we're here to create without boundaries.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Welcome back to Intellicast! On today's episode, Brian is joined by Gabby Blados to cover one of the busiest news weeks the insights industry has had in a while, featuring a billion-dollar merger, a major leadership shake-up, and plenty of questions about what's next. The episode kicks off with the biggest headline of the week: Qualtrics' announcement that it plans to acquire Press Ganey Forsta for over $6 billion. Brian and Gabby dive into what this means for the market research world, especially as two of the most widely used survey programming platforms — Qualtrics and Decipher — will soon fall under one roof. Brian wonders if this level of consolidation could raise antitrust or competition concerns within the industry, while Gabby reflects on what this might mean for current Decipher users, including EMI. They also explore whether this deal might spark a new wave of innovation from smaller, niche platforms looking to position themselves as alternatives to the latest “industry Goliath.” Next, Brian and Gabby turn their attention to the surprising news that dropped the same morning — Melanie Courtright, CEO of the Insights Association, is stepping down after five years to join Sego as Chief Strategy Officer. Both agree that this was a major surprise for many across the industry. The pair discusses Melanie's strong legacy with the Insights Association, including how she unified chapters, modernized the association's structure, and strengthened its position as the leading voice for research professionals. Gabby and Brian share their excitement for her new role at Sego, while also speculating about what comes next for IA's leadership and the direction the organization will take. In between these two major headlines, Brian and Gabby also touch on a few other key stories — including the Census Bureau's recent layoffs and their potential implications for data accuracy, and new developments in the ongoing conversation around data quality and AI-driven fraud detection. And because no episode would be complete without a little fun, they close out the episode by ranking their top Halloween candies. Thanks for tuning in!

Latino Economic Development Center was born out of the Mount Pleasant riots, an historic event in Washington DC ignited in 1991 by police violence and the city's failure to meet the pressing needs of thousands of newly arrived Salvadorian civil war refugees. Since then, LEDC has been at the forefront of equipping Latino communities in DC, Maryland and Virginia with the knowledge and resources needed to create wealth through home ownership and entrepreneurship. Now, in another historic moment, the federal takeover of DC, LEDC is expanding its services into rural regions with immigrant populations and is guiding Latino federal workers who have lost their jobs and are exploring entrepreneurship by necessity. It is doing so while navigating the targeting, demonization and detention of community members and staff. Emi Reyes, my guest on this week's episode of Power Station, is the most inspiring of nonprofit leaders. As the daughter of Salvadorian restaurant owners, she knows first-hand about the barriers immigrants face in building economic security. She knows that Latino economic power is on the rise and that her resilient community will survive. Emi is a macro thinker with deep community roots. Hear her.

Long before he became famous as the sharp-tongued TV personality who launched the careers of pop stars, Simon Cowell was a rebellious teenager who dropped out of school and started his career in the mailroom at EMI. After a failed business left him nearly bankrupt, he found success by zigging where others zagged—initially by selling hit records based on TV shows like Power Rangers and WrestleMania. Eventually Simon got behind the TV camera himself, where his brutally honest feedback on shows like American Idol and The X Factor made him a household name. Today, through his company Syco Entertainment, Simon continues to discover new talent. His latest challenge: an upcoming Netflix show where he'll try to build a boy band from scratch.This episode was produced by Josh Lash, and edited by Neva Grant, with research by Iman Maani.
