Fue en febrero de 1996. Danny Boyle estrenaba Trainspotting, adaptación de la novela de Irvine Welsh. Una película que capturó el espíritu de una generación desencantada a través de Renton, Spud, Sick Boy y Begbie. La historia de unos amigos y no tan amigos viviendo el lado más peligroso de la vida en la cuidad de Edimburgo. Pero Trainspotting fue mucho más que una película: su banda sonora vendió millones, educó musicalmente a toda una generación y tendió puentes entre el punk de los 70, la new wave de los 80 y el brit-pop y la electrónica de los 90. Tal fue el éxito de esta recopilación que EMI decidió publicar esta segunda parte. Pero no estamos hablando de sobras o descartes, este segundo disco incluye canciones que inspiraron a Danny Boyle y al equipo creativo durante el proceso, temas que estuvieron en versiones tempranas del montaje pero que finalmente no encajaron en el minutaje final, y otras que simplemente compartían ese espíritu salvaje, melancólico y rebelde de la película. Hoy en Conexiones MZK hablaremos de las canciones y escucharemos una selección de ambos volúmenes. Dirige Manuel Pinazo

Get ready for a high-octane episode, as Joel Cheesman and Emi Beredugo take the mic to dissect everything from "bougie" McDonald's Valentine's stunts to the high-stakes world of Big Tech. The duo dives deep into Rippling's bold Super Bowl debut featuring Tim Robinson, debating whether the "evil genius" move is a brilliant recruitment play or a calculated nod to Wall Street. While Microsoft celebrates a massive LinkedIn revenue milestone—proving the platform has officially pivoted from a resume database to a short-form video powerhouse—the hosts shift gears to the grittier side of the job hunt. From the rise of "Resume Botox" and ageism to the "resume slop" currently clogging AI-driven hiring funnels, the gloves come off. Plus, don't miss the heated critique of ZipRecruiter's new "Be Seen First" feature, which Emi and Joel argue might be doing more harm than good for the modern candidate.

Jean-Jacques Charbonier est l'invité du 227ème épisode du podcast C'est quoi le bonheur pour vous?

Un peu plus de 3 ans depuis leur premier album "Equilibrium", quel bonheur de retrouver la formation initialement crée par  les frères Senizergues : POLYCHROME. D'ailleurs cette histoire de famille n'est pas sans rappeler quelques fleurons du rock progressif français tels que les tôliers Ange ou les plus contemporains Lazuli notamment. Ce tout fraîchement sorti "Someday" est fort réussi, laissant toutes les chances à ces frenchies de rejoindre la cour des grands, avec des textes qui ont du sens, à l'instar de l'extrait diffusé ce soir, traitant de la procrastination qui peut-être individuelle (je connais bien

Dans cet épisode de "One Hit Wonder", Margaux Lassalle revient sur le parcours atypique de Chumbawamba, groupe britannique que tout le monde connaît pour l'incontournable "Tubthumping". Derrière cet hymne fédérateur se cache pourtant une histoire bien plus radicale. Formé en 1982, Chumbawamba s'inscrit d'abord dans la scène anarcho-punk anglaise, avec une musique frontale et un engagement politique affirmé. Dès leurs premiers albums, le groupe dénonce les dérives du système, les compromis imposés à l'industrie musicale et les discriminations, notamment l'homophobie, sans jamais édulcorer son discours. Au fil des années, Chumbawamba fait évoluer son son, intégrant des influences électro et des refrains plus accessibles. Un virage qui les mène chez EMI et à la sortie de l'album "Tubthumper", porté par le succès planétaire de "Tubthumping", mais aussi par des titres comme "Amnesia". Un succès massif, souvent perçu comme paradoxal au regard de leurs convictions. Après avoir quitté une major, le groupe retrouve son indépendance, multiplie les projets et explore d'autres territoires, notamment folk, jusqu'à son dernier album studio "ABCDEFG" en 2010, avant une séparation en 2012. Chumbawamba n'est donc pas un simple one-hit wonder, mais un collectif militant dont le tube mondial dissimule un message de résistance et de solidarité populaire. Derrière l'hymne de stade, une véritable déclaration politique. Hébergé par Audiomeans. Visitez audiomeans.fr/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

They Tried to Kill Crypto — Now They Need It | BNY & Ripple Change Everything Traditional finance spent years trying to shut crypto out. Now they're quietly moving on-chain. One of the world's oldest banks, BNY Mellon, has launched tokenized deposit services, bringing programmable, on-chain cash directly into the core of the banking system — with Ripple and Ripple Prime positioned as early adopters. This isn't hype. This is infrastructure. At the same time: Ripple secures UK FCA approval with an EMI license and cryptoasset registration Banks that once debanked crypto are now lobbying Congress to ban stablecoin rewards The UK debates banning X, triggering backlash over free speech and censorship Geopolitical tensions escalate — from Trump's Greenland comments to border enforcement showdowns and media meltdowns This episode connects the dots between: ✔️ On-chain banking ✔️ Regulatory clarity vs institutional panic ✔️ Tokenized deposits vs stablecoins ✔️ Free speech, capital flight, and geopolitical pressure Nothing happening right now is accidental. This is a power transition — and the old system didn't win.

Until she was 10, Emi Nietfeld led a pretty normal life. It was when her parents divorced that her world fell apart. Her father transitioned to a woman and changed his name to Michelle. Her mother was a police photographer with serious psychological problems. In her book, Acceptance, Emi who is now 32, talks about the price she paid for working so hard to overcome circumstances that no child should have to endure. They include stints in a psychiatric ward, living in foster care, stays in a homeless shelter and a suicide attempt at the age of 13. So how did she wind up graduating from Harvard? We talk about the notion of self-worth and how hard it is to outrun your past. "Now What?" is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Jackie Schwartz. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.

In this episode of Off the Mats Podcast, I sit down with Emi Miller, known on Instagram as @nogi_chunli, to talk about training culture, mat etiquette, and the responsibility that comes with being a good training partner. Emi is an instructor at Gracie Barra Riverside and the creator of a widely shared “How to…” series that addresses real situations many grapplers experience but rarely talk about openly. We discuss how her posts—covering topics like how to roll with women, white belts, visitors, injured partners, and training across size and gender differences—came from years of observing common mistakes on the mat. Emi explains why communication, awareness, and intent matter more than strength or rank, and how small changes in behavior can dramatically improve safety and learning for everyone in the room. This conversation goes beyond social media and into Emi's coaching philosophy, her role as an instructor, and how gyms can build healthier environments through accountability and respect. Whether you're a new student trying to understand unspoken rules or an experienced grappler looking to be a better teammate, this episode focuses on how we show up for one another on the mats—and why that matters long after the round ends.

Merci de soutenir mon travail sur Donorbox !Rencontre autour du livre "Cette vie… et au-delà. Enquête sur la continuité de la conscience après la mort" de Christophe Fauré, psychiatre et psychothérapeute.Présentation par l'éditeurExpérience de mort imminente (EMI), Expérience de fin de vie (EFV), Vécu subjectif de contact avec un défunt (VSCD)… certains phénomènes humains semblent contredire l'affirmation quasi unanime de la communauté scientifique selon laquelle la conscience ne serait qu'une simple production de notre cerveau.Nourri des traditions spirituelles (bouddhiste, hindouiste), dont le discours sur la nature de la conscience fait écho aux enseignements de la physique quantique, Christophe Fauré est un de ces médecins qui s'y intéressent et s'interrogent. En unité de soins palliatifs, où abondent les récits de tels phénomènes, il a constaté le réconfort et l'apaisement que ces expériences avaient apporté à la plupart des personnes les ayant vécues. Il a alors entrepris d'étudier tous les travaux scientifiques sur la question.Ce livre est le fruit de ses investigations, une enquête aussi troublante que passionnante, apportant des réponses à des interrogations universelles : Qu'y a-t-il après un décès ? Notre conscience perdure-t-elle après la mort physique ? Quelle est la nature de notre conscience ?Christophe Fauré, psychiatre, psychothérapeute, est l'auteur de nombreux livres, parmi lesquels Vivre le deuil au jour le jour. Il est spécialiste de l'accompagnement des ruptures de vie depuis une trentaine d'années.Acheter le livre Cette vie... et au-delà, enquête sur sa continuité de la conscience après la mort de Christophe Fauré sur le site des Librairies indépendantes :- le livre broché, éditions Albin Michel- en poche, éditions Le livre de pocheLa plate-forme d'accompagnement au deuil Une lumière dans la nuit Une interview réalisée par Anne Greffe.

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.

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. Not that it’s going to happen but I reckon it would need the song itself re-arranged/edited to work perfectly but methinks the idea is still a cool one. Show 147 hopefully surfaces Jan 4.

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.

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. As author Andrew Cook points out, “the truth is stranger than fiction”. New correspondence unearthed in his fascinating Capitol Gains maps out the tortuous wranglings of the deal-makers and “pantomime bad guys” behind the greatest and most successful marketing hype in history, all jockeying to take credit and manage their reputations. Some highlights here … … the truth behind Epstein's mythical phone calls … “the more successful the Beatles were, the more Capitol were proving themselves wrong” … why 1966 was the band's “Last Supper” … “from the Battle of Hastings to World War 2 to the Beatles ... it's the winners who rewrite history” … the American 12-track rule and how they repackaged product “to give it more grab” … the Beatles' commercial fate if they'd never been successful in the States … the pitiful (standard) original EMI deal – “18.75 of a penny per group member for every album” … the “Butcher sleeve”: how 750,000 were printed and the fortune lost in “Operation Retrieve”. And the Capitol exec whose kids made $1.5m from copies stashed in his garage … how Epstein was contracted to make 25 per cent of all Beatles monies ‘til 1975 … Bob Dylan's tangential role in the signing of the Beatles to Capitol … and the “cowboy film” that nearly happened.

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?

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.

In this episode, Alexa is joined by Becky Morton, Principal of Further Education at ACM, to explore what the FE academic route can offer young singers stepping into today's music industry. Becky shares how the curriculum is structured with project-based training, and how this helps students to build both industry awareness and artistic identity from the age of sixteen. The pair dig into why early professional habits matter, how the diploma pathway compares to traditional A-levels, and what young performers gain from learning to work with producers, bands and music businesses in a real-world environment. Becky also talks about current vocal trends, the technical demands of pop-rock singing, and how ACM is adapting its teaching to industry changes, including the rise of AI.

Chad blames UPS pain on automation, ditching Amazon volume, and shrinking wallets; ties GM to the EV tax-credit cliff—“Trump economy killer!” Joel says companies hate chaos, froze post-election, now tariffs (⅓ each: importer, company, consumer) drip inflation, crushing spending and jobs.

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.
