Reid. Rising to prominence as the dynamic drummer for the hitmaking 1980s R&B band The Deal, Reid seamlessly transitioned from the stage to the boardroom, cementing his status as a visionary producer, iconic songwriter, and major label force. Throughout his illustrious career, his taste and leadership guided the culture as the co-founder of LaFace Records, and later as the chairman and CEO of some of the most powerful major labels in music history, including Arista, Island Def Jam, and Epic Records. Bringing his journey full-circle, he continues to nurture the next generation of musical innovators through Mega, his powerful label venture launched in partnership with global superstar Usher. Joining hosts Philionaire, Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony of Louis York, and Tamone Bacon, Reid engages in an open, free-flowing conversation about what it takes to shape the sound of a generation. Right from the jump, the chemistry is electric as Reid jokingly auditions to become the podcast's official fifth cast member, setting a warm and celebratory tone for an episode dedicated to giving an industry hero his well-deserved flowers. This first installment dives straight into the mind of a musical architect, exploring Reid's eclectic taste in music and his enduring philosophy on talent. The hosts cue up special video questions from fans, prompting Reid to share his candid thoughts on everything from his dream biopic casting to how he embraces AI as the next evolutionary tool for creatives and drawing a fascinating parallel to his own early days mastering the drum machine in the 1980s. He also pulls back the curtain on his legendary ability to spot undeniable star power, describing how true icons "move the air" the moment they step into a room. As the conversation unfolds, listeners are treated to an inside look at the history-making partnerships that defined an era. Reid reflects on his early days with Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds in The Deal, surviving on "pride and being broke" while studying the mastery of Prince and Luther Vandross. The episode highlights the magical intuition behind some of his biggest triumphs, including the unorthodox breaking of Toni Braxton via the Boomerang soundtrack. Grounded in a deep, mutual respect for the craft, this first part captures the essence of a man who never let boxes define him, cementing a legacy built entirely on an uncompromising love for music.

Our Best Breakout Album this week, as we start the month of June '26, is "Hi Infidelity" by REO Speedwagon! It took a while for this Windy City group to find huge commercial success, but Epic Records stuck with them, and in November of 1980 came what would be a 10x Platinum Album, featuring hits like "Keep on Loving You," "Take it on the Run" and "In Your Letter." The album spent a record 15-weeks at the top of the Billboard Album Chart, becoming the LP of the year in 1981. Next week, Frank and I will take a look at another Breakout Album, "Silk Degrees" by Boz Scaggs. Enjoy!

Before the fire, before the blood, before the bombs, the boots, the makeup, and the myth… there was a struggling New York band trying to find its way. This week, we go Before the Thunder with Lew Linet — the man who witnessed Wicked Lester evolve into KISS. He saw Gene Klein become Gene Simmons, Stanley Eisen become Paul Stanley, Peter Crisscuola become Peter Criss, and Paul Frehley become Ace. From the shelved Epic Records album to the early club grind at The Daisy, Lew was there before the world understood what was coming. This is the story of rejection, reinvention, and persistence — told by someone who saw the lightning strike before the thunder rolled. He later built a career in the automotive industry, carrying those early lessons in perseverance into the training work he still shares today.

Rapper and entrepreneur Rico Richie joins a brand new episode of Skipping Class presented by The Progress Report and hosted by Lalaa Shepard. During the interview, Rico Richie reflects on his journey from being a standout football player at Georgia Tech and briefly making it to the NFL before transitioning into music. He opens up about the frustration and anger he experienced after football did not work out the way he envisioned, and how those same emotions resurfaced years later during the rise of his breakout 2015 single “Poppin.” Rico Richie speaks on “Poppin” becoming a massive record while he was serving time in prison, missing out on opportunities as the song exploded worldwide, and the emotional toll of watching his career take off while being locked up. He also discusses the “Poppin” remix featuring Chris Brown, Meek Mill, and French Montana, and how the momentum surrounding the record changed his life. The conversation also covers Epic Records offering him $750,000 for “Poppin” before Birdman later offered him $1 million in cash for the single. Rico Richie explains how everything shifted after getting caught up in the Lil Wayne tour bus shooting incident tied to Young Thug, ultimately causing him to miss out on major money and opportunities at the height of his buzz. Elsewhere in the interview, Rico Richie addresses his issues with comedian Lou Young, opening a studio in downtown Atlanta, prison life, fatherhood, boxing, street mentality, and shifting his focus toward growth, peace, business, and building a better future. Rico Richie also discusses his new single “Loaded,” his current mindset, and what's next for him moving forward. Interview conducted by Lalaa Shepard for The Progress Report.

Bienvenidos de nuevo a Los Vinilos de Barbarella, el programa quincenal donde sólo pinchamos música en vinilo. Esta semana hemos bajado este pedazo de disco de la estantería, lo ponemos sobre el plato y lo lanzamos como si fuera un láser. Hoy, riffs de guitarra que cortan el aire y una banda que, en su momento, se sintió como mucho más que un “proyecto”. Nos vamos a Londres, pero no a Abbey Road, sino a un estudio de Epic Records en 1972, para hablar del álbum homónimo Jeff Beck Group, el cuarto y último LP de la agrupación. El Jeff Beck Group era, en esencia, la banda de Jeff Beck: el ex‑guitarra de los Yardbirds que en pocos años se convirtió en una de las grandes figuras del blues‑rock británico. Aunque hoy lo recordamos más por su trabajo en solitario, el grupo dejó huella en la historia. Para este programa hemos contado, después de mucho tiempo, con la colaboración impagable de nuestro amigo Albert García Carbó.

Baxie welcomes back Ian Dench from EMF! While EMF struck it big with their international hit “Unbelievable” in 1991, Ian's career outside the band has taken him from being a Grammy nominated songwriter to becoming the one-time Vice President of A&R for Epic Records. Today EMF are back having just released a new EP called “Reach for Something Higher” with the promise that there is a new album on the way sometime next year! It's always a pleasure to speak to Ian! Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and on the Rock102 app! NOTE: EMF will be coming to the City Winery in Boston Monday, May 11th -and to the Space Ballroom in Hamden, CT on May 16th!

Trailblazing country music artist Ty Herndon is opening his heart like never before with the release of his memoir, What Mattered Most (On Sale: March 31, 2026; Dey Street Books). In this candid and inspiring book, Herndon pulls back the curtain on his unprecedented career-one marked by triumphs in the spotlight and battles behind the scenes. With unflinching honesty, he shares his struggles with addiction and mental health, the groundbreaking decision to become the first openly gay male country superstar, and the resilience it took to endure more than three decades in the music industry. Woven throughout are moments of his trademark humor, warmth, and hard-earned wisdom, offering readers a story not just about survival, but about choosing hope, authenticity, and love against all odds. "Writing What Mattered Most has been one of the most vulnerable and rewarding experiences of my life," said Herndon. "This book is my truth-the highs, the heartbreaks, the lessons, and the love that have shaped me as a man, an artist, and a survivor. My hope is that in telling my story, others will find the courage to embrace theirs, no matter how messy or beautiful it may be."Herndon's career began at the Opryland theme park as a member of The Tennessee River Boys, the group that would later evolve into hitmakers Diamond Rio. After signing with Epic Records, Herndon skyrocketed to solo fame in 1995 with the chart-topping single "What Mattered Most," the first of his seventeen Billboard charting hits. Yet behind the scenes, his life was no fairy tale. Confronting addiction, mental health struggles, and the weight of hiding his true self in a traditionally conservative industry, Herndon s journey was anything but easy. His path wound through an arrest, marriages, lawsuits, secret relationships, and a devastating relapse in 2020. The breaking point came on New Year s Day 2021, when he nearly ended his life-a moment that led to intensive rehab and, at last, the chance to confront and release the traumas that had haunted him for decades. Out of those darkest hours emerged a renewed sense of purpose, first expressed in his most personal song, God or the Gun," and now revealed with uncompromising honesty and depth in his memoir. In these pages, Herndon offers not only a window into his private battles, but also a story of resilience, redemption, and the hard-won healing that comes from choosing to live-and to live authentically."For thirty years, I've told pieces of my story through my music and my words - but this book has given me the chance to tell the whole truth," said Herndon. "This book isn't just about the music; it's about the journey, the struggles, the faith, and the people who shaped my life. I hope readers walk away knowing that no matter where you've been, you can still write a new chapter - and that's what matters most." More than a memoir, What Mattered Most is a testament to survival and transformation. Herndon lays bare the trials that shaped his life and the strength he discovered in moving through them. By sharing his path with openness, he offers readers a story meant to connect, encourage, and light the way for anyone seeking renewal in their own lives. "This book is my heart on the page. This book is about the boy I was, the man I became, and the grace that carried me through it all. I hope my story reminds someone out there that they're never alone - and that there's always a way forward. Life has a way of knocking you down, but it also gives you a million reasons to get back up," said Herndon. "What Mattered Most is my story of falling, rising, and finding purpose in the journey. If this book inspires even one person to keep going, then I've done my job."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

After moving to D.C. in 1985, then 16-year-old Craig Wedren helped shape Shudder To Think into a standout act within the Dischord Records scene, evolving from a raw hardcore-adjacent sound into a complex style that eventually earned the respect of Ian MacKaye. The band pivoted to Epic Records in 1994 during the big alt-rock boom, releasing the sonic anomoly Pony Express Record before facing label pressure to produce more commercial hits for their follow-up, 50,000 B.C., which would be the group's final studio album to date. Following their 1998 split, Wedren built a prolific career in film and television scoring, but the group reunited in 2025 to record new material. Despite a 20-year hiatus from their signature style, their collective muscle memory remained intact, allowing them to integrate modern digital tools with the foundational creative energy that defined their early years. Shudder To Think's latest single, “Thirst Walk,” is out now on Dischord records.

Independent musicians with loyal fanbases are leaving significant revenue on the table by treating physical products as afterthoughts. Vinyl, CDs, and cassettes aren't nostalgia plays—they're strategic revenue channels when approached with the same rigor labels apply to streaming campaigns. Thom Skarzynski is the founder of Happiness Marketing, a physical-first music strategy consultancy. Tom has twenty years of industry experience, including roles at Epic Records, Spotify, and Atlantic Music Group. He helped deliver campaigns like the one supporting the Twenty One Pilots' album Clancy, which sold 143,000 units in its first week (streaming alone would have generated ~28K). The following year, Thome helped their album Breach sell nearly 170,000 physical units out of 200,000 total first-week sales. In this conversation, Thom breaks down the economics of physical products at an independent scale, how to forecast demand, manage manufacturing risk, price strategically, and design packaging that fans actually want to own. He explains why direct-to-consumer isn't just a transactional layer but an operating system for fandom, and why shipping generic packages with no personal touch leaves both money and loyalty on the table.

Voici un nouvel épisode de la série Prunus !Issus de la famille des Rosacées (dans laquelle l'on retrouve entre autres les Roses, tout simplement), les arbres "Prunus" regroupent des espèces incontournables aujourd'hui en France, auxquels nous consacrerons une partie de la saison 5 : le Prunier donc, mais aussi le Cerisier, le Pêcher, l'Abricotier, et enfin l'Amandier. Des arbres à l'histoire millénaire et qui ont tous connu un succès mondial après des siècles de domestication et de culture sur leur terre d'origine : la Chine.On continue avec ce premier épisode d'un diptyque consacré au Cerisier, et par conséquent à ses fruits, les cerises. Présent dans toute l'Eurasie, aussi bien sous forme cultivée que sauvage, il est aussi bien emblématique en France grâce ses nombreuses et succulentes variétés aux superbes robes jaune d'or, noires ou rouge sang ("guignes", "napoléons", "bigarreaux"... et autres "griottes") ; qu'au pays du Soleil levant, où lors de la fête de Hanami, le sakura annonce l'arrivée du printemps par la poussée de millions de délicates fleurs rose pâle sur ses branches noires..._______

In this episode of The Live Music Industry Podcast, Matt Ford sits down with Alec Ellin, Co-Founder & CEO of Laylo, for a candid conversation about fan capture, “drops,” and the marketing flywheel powering modern ticket, merch, and content launches. From Laylo's early pivots through Y Combinator to its breakout product-market fit during the pandemic, they unpack how artists, venues, and festivals are turning social hype into first-party audiences and what that enables next. In this episode, they cover:Laylo 101 — a music-first CRM + messaging platform built to capture fans and drive them to tickets, merch, and contentThe origin story — from Dark Chart & Silo to YC, a painful pivot, and finding the winning “drops” model in 2021What a “drop” really does — productizing FOMO to convert attention into signups before the on-sale momentScale by the numbers — 60M+ fans reached, 200K drops in a year, and tens of thousands of platform usersMulti-channel messaging — SMS, email, Instagram, and WhatsApp, plus high-performing IG DM capture flowsWhy venues and festivals are adopting Laylo — high-conversion drop pages, list growth without requiring a ticket purchase, and demand-driving campaignsFirst-party data, done right — why Laylo won't share PII, and how “collabs” let artists + promoters build lists compliantlySmarter segmentation — targeting likely ticket and merch buyers to improve cost, deliverability, and fan experienceAI inside the product — multi-drop builders, “magic templates,” and the roadmap to put CRM workflows on autopilot⭐️ Get 50,000 free message credits through Laylo right now when you use code LAYLO26: https://laylo.com/refer?ref=prism&utm_source=prismEpisode Timestamps:0:00 — What Laylo Is & Who It's For A CRM and messaging platform built around “drops” — announce something, collect fans, then message them when it goes live. Supports SMS, email, Instagram, and WhatsApp, with a free tier available.7:24 — How Alec & Saj Ended Up Building Laylo Alec came from music blogging and Epic Records, while Saj built a competing analytics app. They met, merged ideas, sold a fan analytics tool to The Orchard, went through Y Combinator, then pivoted when growth stalled.24:01 — The Birth of “Drops” COVID shut down touring. A simple “text me when this drops” experiment on Saj's own music clicked instantly. Artists were already teasing releases — Laylo made capturing and re-engaging those fans automatic. Early wins with ODESZA and Dillon Francis validated the idea.40:03 — Adding Venues & Festivals Same product, new use case — venues collect signups before onsales and message fans when tickets go live. Laylo built “Collabs” for shared pages with explicit opt-in for both lists. The Midway sees ~55–60% conversion on ad traffic vs ~10% on typical pages.52:09 — Team, Fundraising & AI Inside Laylo 24-person distributed team. ~$8.5M raised, with the last round over three years ago. AI features include Multi-Drop Builder (paste tour dates, auto-build pages), Magic Templates (auto-design emails), and Suggested Segments (surface likely buyers).1:05:14 — AI, Coding & Why Live Still Wins AI accelerates development but doesn't replace great engineers. Alec expects AI to flood music with generic tracks — increasing demand for real live experiences.

Host Dave Gebroe talks with Spirit biographer Ryan Gabrinetti about the classic psych band's entire recorded output, with commentary, stories, and star ratings for every release. Part 5 details the almost-too-crazy-to-be-believed tale behind one of the most mythically nuts concept albums ever dreamt up. Here are just a few of the many things that Ryan discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: The origin of the Potatoland project; The massive public uprising that practically forced Randy California to exhume the project several years later; The 2019 Esoteric Recordings Potatoland box set that has to be one of the ten most essential reissue purchases of all time; The live radio shows during that era which Randy dared to play on LSD; And an in-depth deep dive on every song off Spirit's Adventures of Kaptain Kopter & Commander Cassidy in Potato Land, the 1973 LP that was rejected by Epic Records.  The Free Teaser: linktr.ee/discograffiti For the full, ad-free, 32-minute podcast, either subscribe to Discograffiti's Patreon at the Private Tier or higher, or just grab the episode as a one-off at the same link.

rWotD Episode 3202: I'll Just Take It Out in Love Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Sunday, 8 February 2026, is I'll Just Take It Out in Love."I'll Just Take It Out in Love" is a love song by George Jones. It rose to #11 when it was released by Epic Records in 1978. I was written by Bob McDill. The song, which celebrates domestic tranquility, could not have been more different from what Jones was experiencing in his personal life at the time; the singer was penniless, addicted to alcohol and cocaine, and quickly earning a reputation as the most undependable live performer in show business. However, despite how much he abused himself, his vocal abilities remained stellar. In 2006 he explained to Billboard magazine, "I would say 90% of the time I would be in pretty damn good shape when I went into the studio. I did have a little sense, not a whole lot. But I would still have to have a little build-up of courage, three or four drinks [throughout] the session time. I don't know, it seemed to mellow you out and relax you a little more, and you would even feel your songs better."This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:10 UTC on Sunday, 8 February 2026.For the full current version of the article, see I'll Just Take It Out in Love on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Kendra.

With no confirmed release date but strong early-2026 signals via Epic Records, the campaign centers on a menacing, art-driven aesthetic blending street installations and cryptic digital teasers.The anchor: a 25-foot grey “Slawn Balloon” clown head with red nose, cross tattoo, and dagger stabbed through the skull – a direct nod to 21's signature face ink. Created with British-Nigerian artist Olaolu Slawn (known for Virgil Abloh, Skepta, and Off-White collaborations), the inflatable dominated Art Basel Miami (Dec 5–8, Wynwood) parked on a black “WHTTS” truck outside Slawn's OHTO warehouse.Scanning the balloon QR or visiting wtths.info drops fans into a minimalist black site with distorted audio snippets, glitchy clown-to-silhouette visuals, fragmented lyrics (“What's the word? / Dagger in the dirt”), and DSP pre-save – driving over 50,000 pre-saves in 24 hours and a 300% spike post-launch.Momentum started in October with '90s R&B cover homages teasing a smoother, melodic direction, while recent posts and fan accounts) amplified “COMING SOON” messaging. No official singles yet, but rumored Metro Boomin-produced lead “Dagger Talk” leaks and speculated features (Travis Scott, Doja Cat, Young Thug) keep anticipation high.Thematic core: paranoia, fame pressure, UK drill influence, and 21's signature dark atmosphere with added R&B tint. Expected 14–16 tracks, production from Metro Boomin and London on da Track, visual direction by Slawn.Already over 100 million X/Twitter impressions during Art Basel weekend and hailed as one of 2025's boldest rap rollouts, Analytic Dreamz analyzes how 21 Savage is redefining physical marketing in the streaming era.

As mid-November 2025 unfolds, Future's official Freebandz website—futurefreebandz.com—has transformed from a vague "coming soon" placeholder to a sleek black canvas signaling imminent heat. Dominating the page is bold "11/XX/25" typography, flanked by Japanese script translating to "Future Freebandz" and "FBG Freedom Organization." A crisp photo of Future anchors the aesthetic, while an "NOTIFY ME" email signup invites fans to join the rollout. This minimalist redesign under Epic Records screams major project launch, aligning with Future's signature trap visuals from the Mixtape Pluto era.What does this mean? The date locks in November 2025, fueling long-standing rumors of a blockbuster drop. Insider whispers point to two frontrunners: a solo Future album echoing I NEVER LIKED YOU 2 vibes or the teased Future x Metro Boomin collab, brewing since 2024 studio sessions. Future's early November Instagram wipe—a ritual before every big release since 2017—amps the suspense. Metro's deleted late-October studio snaps with Future add fuel, as do pre-save links on Apple Music and Spotify, flagged by insiders as tied to this pairing.Hip-hop heavyweights like DJ Akademiks, Elliott Wilson, and Carl Chery echo the timeline: November it is, with November 21 or 28 as prime suspects for the exact "XX" reveal. The Japanese flair? Pure branding continuity from 2024-2025 tours and merch, not geo-locked exclusivity.

Label: Epic 9790Year: 1965Condition: M-Last Price: $40.00. Not currently available for sale.Here's a remarkably beautiful copy of this 1960s Rock classic, impossible to find in decent condition but a single I always try to keep in stock. This time I lucked out: This copy miraculously retains pristine audio -- so special I recorded it quickly to iTunes and then made an mp3 snippet so you can hear for yourself! "For Your Love" was this seminal Hard Rock group's first and biggest U.S. hit. If I'm not mistaken, this is the combination of Yardbirds that found Jeff Beck playing lead guitar. As I recall, Eric Clapton left the group earlier in 1965, sort of in protest to the other members' interest in abandoning pure Blues and RnB for a catchy pop song like "For Your Love." All I can say is, "For Your Love" may be a catchy pop song as done by some other band, but this Yardbirds manage to put a muscular, almost sinister cast to the number, making it a prime example of hard rock, in the style being hammered out by bands like the Rolling Stones and Animals at the time. Note: This copy comes in a vintage Epic Records factory sleeve. The labels are very close to Mint. The vinyl (styrene) grades Near Mint, reflecting a few very light scuff marks.

In the first couple of these solo episodes I did, I tried to time the tracks playing with me listening to the same clips. Turned out to be tedious and lacking in desirable results. The last one I did featured a five-spot of albums, and I went a different direction. Maybe it was better; maybe it wasn't. I think I ultimately realized that the script didn't mesh with the song excerpts in a very story-friendly fashion, so I (possibly subconsciously) tried to do a better job on that particular piece this time around.Either way, producing these guestless installments is far from the muscle memory I've built over the last three years and change, so it takes quite a bit longer to turn them around and get them out, which is why my search for guests continues to be one of the most important pieces to keeping this thing going.So...e-mail me if you'd like to be on or suggest someone.

Sepia Jewel was no stranger to the stage before her burlesque life! Singing in an all female rap group signed onto Epic Records and designing costumes while dancing for the San Diego Ebony Elite's are just a few items on her resumé (include mother, daughter, wife, and friend). It wasn't until 2016, Ms. Jewel was watching the movie Burlesque that she realized she needed to get back to the stage.  At 55 years old, she trained under Coco L'Amour with the Pixie Stixx and from there, the force she possesses couldn't be stopped. Quickly becoming an award winning international showgirl, she soon realized the rhinestone life was aligned with the art therapy she was looking for.  9 years later, Sepia Jewel shows us what it means to be a Black burlesque performer and queen: no age, no location, no *nothing* can stop you. 

This week Ari sits down with Sarah McTaggart from the band Transviolet, an alternative pop-rock band that's been popping off on the international scene. Transviolet started out by signing with Epic Records in 2015 after their debut single, "Girls Your Age," went viral. The band moved between several major labels at the start of their career, but they're now completely self-represented. Transviolet has played Late Shows with Colbert and James Corden; they've had notable syncs including the Pretty little Liars theme song; they've played huge festivals like SXSW, Governor's Ball and Firefly; and they recently released their fourth studio album, Softcore.Sarah tells Ari about Transviolet's experiences working with a label and how things have changed since going independent. They talk about the ins-and-outs of touring (including Transviolet's upcoming US tour), how the band got started, and a brilliant guerilla marketing technique they used to promote one of their early releases. Transviolet also had the surprising experience of finding out they were big in China (hot tip: you might be too!). In this episode, you'll learn about how they discovered they were big over there and how you can check for yourself, too. https://transviolet.com/Chapters00:00 The Evolution of the Music Business02:53 Transviolet's Journey to Independence06:02 The Creative Process Behind 'Softcore'08:54 Exploring Vulnerability in Music12:12 The Duality of Persona15:09 Navigating Relationships and Personal Growth17:50 Marketing Innovations in the Music Industry21:11 The Impact of Major Labels vs. Independence36:13 Redefining the Artist's Team39:34 The Evolution of Digital Marketing in Music44:14 Navigating Social Media's Impact on Music51:07 Exploring International Touring Experiences57:21 The Dynamics of Touring and Band Changes01:08:28 Creating Art: The Journey of Songwriting and ProductionEdited and mixed by Ari DavidsMusic by Brassroots DistrictProduced by the team at Ari's TakeOrder the THIRD EDITION of How to Make It in the New Music Business: https://book.aristake.com Hosted on Acast.

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. What better way to kick things off than where it all began? Here's a look back at episode one and our conversation with Jim Peterik.  ABOUT JIM PETERIKSinger, songwriter, guitarist, and keyboardist Jim Peterik is best known as a founding member of the band Survivor and the co-writer of their Grammy-winning double platinum #1 hit single, “Eye of the Tiger.” But that's only the tip of the iceberg. Thirty-five of Jim's songs have appeared on the Billboard Pop chart, including seven Top 10 singles. His first major success came when his original band, Ides of March, took the Peterik-penned “Vehicle” to the #2 position on the Pop chart in 1970, spawning cover versions by Chet Baker and Shirley Bassey. After a stint as a solo artist with Epic Records, Jim formed Survivor in 1979, penning a string of hits for the band, including “I Can't Hold Back,” “High On You,” “The Search is Over,” “Burning Heart,” and “Is This Love.” While still writing hits for his own group, Jim forged a successful partnership with the members of 38 Special, co-writing classic songs, including “Rockin' Into the Night,” “Hold On Loosely,” and “Caught Up In You.” Widely respected as a top-notch collaborator, Jim has co-written successful songs with a number of artists, including the Beach Boys, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Sammy Hagar, Cheap Trick, the Doobie Brothers, REO Speedwagon, and Mindi Abair. The long list of those who have covered his compositions includes Paul Anka, Gloria Gaynor, Tony Orlando, Reba McEntire, Larry Gatlin, Blackhawk, and The Outlaws. He is the co-author, with Dave Austin, of Songwriting for Dummies. 

Set the World on Fire es el tercer álbum de estudio de la banda canadiense de heavy metal Annihilator, lanzado el 4 de mayo de 1993 por Roadrunner y Epic Records. El álbum recibió críticas mixtas, atenuando los elementos de thrash de Alice in Hell y Never, Neverland en favor de un sonido más amigable para la radio. La canción principal, "Knight Jumps Queen" y "Brain Dance" siguen siendo habituales en la lista de canciones, convirtiéndose en las favoritas de los fans años después del lanzamiento del álbum. El álbum tuvo éxito en Europa (en el puesto 79 en las listas alemanas) y Asia (en el puesto 47 en Japón), pero no logró triunfar en Estados Unidos, lo que llevó a que la banda (junto con muchos otros) fuera eliminada de Roadrunner en 1993. El bajista Wayne Darley dejó la banda poco después, ya que no pudo ingresar a Japón en la gira de promoción del álbum. El álbum fue reeditado en 2009.

Bonnie McKee chats about co-writing hits with Katy Perry, including "California Gurls" and "Roar," as well as her own artist career that has resulted in successful singles such as "American Girl." PART ONE:Scott and Paul share a little preview of what's to come as they prepare to celebrate Songcraft's 10 anniversaryPART TWOOur in-depth conversation with Bonnie McKeeABOUT BONNIE McKEE:Bonnie McKee grew up as a classically trained singer and pianist, but began pursuing a pop music career while still a teen. In 2004 she released her debut album, Trouble, with Reprise Records, but soon switched her focus to working as a behind-the-scenes songwriter. She has written ten songs that have hit #1 in either the US or UK, and is best known for her work with Katy Perry, which began with the Diamond-certified and international chart-topping album, Teenage Daydream. Bonnie contributed to three songs on the album, all of which became chart-topping singles: “California Gurls,” “Teenage Dream,” and “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.).” When the deluxe Complete Confection version of the album was released, Bonnie landed two more chart-topping singles with “Part of Me” and “Wide Awake.” She went on to collaborate with Katy Perry on four songs on the follow-up album, Prism, including the Top 20 single “Birthday” and the #1 hit “Roar.” Other successful singles from the Bonnie McKee songbook include “Dynamite” for Taio Cruz, “Hold it Against Me” for Britney Spears, “C'Mon” for Kesha, and the UK chart toppers “How We Do (Party)” by Rita Ora and “I Don't Care” by Cheryl. Additionally, she's written songs for Cher, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne, Bebe Rexha, Jason Derulo, Kygo, and Adam Lambert, among others.In 2013, Bonnie reemerged as an artist with the single “American Girl” on Epic Records. She recorded an entire album, but parted ways with the label and it was shelved. Enough tracks and demos leaked online over the years, however, that fans were clamoring for it. Now, more than ten years later, Bonnie has re-recorded the album. She combined the re-recorded tracks with the original release of “American Girl,” which has now been streamed 23 million times on Spotify. The end result is Hot City, an album more than a decade in the making.

In this commentary episode of the Patrick coffin show, Patrick does a review of the players and principles surrounding the bull's eye of the target known as Sean “Diddy” Combs, arrested last month by Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and William S. Walker, the Acting Special Agent in Charge of the New York Field Office of Homeland Security Investigations.   Diddy was charged with a three-count indictment for racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.     But this case is not about celebrity gossip or the downfall of one or two bad apples.    It is a revelation of the depth of depravity and denial that has always characterized the entertainment industry. The Diddy indictment alleges that between 2008 and 2024, he abused, threatened, and coerced women and others, and led a racketeering conspiracy that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice, among other crimes.   In the Hollyweird orbit of Epsteins and Weinsteins, why would a Combs indictment for similar behavior shock us? There are more questions to be asked.   Topics covered in this episode:   Why is no one talking about the “family tree” of mentorship and manipulation by the man who discovered Diddy, R&B producer Andre Harrell, and the man who discover Harrell—the creepy self-described bisexual Clive Davis, founder of Arista Records. How did Diddy's career really start? The litany of people connected to Diddy who showed up dead or seriously ill, like ex-girlfriend Kim Porter, JayZ's pregnant mistress Cathy White, singer Aaliyah, and radio host Wendy Williams. Former insiders to follow: R&B singer Jaguar Wright, comedian Katt Williams, and former Diddy bodyguard Gene Deal. Troubled rappers connected to Diddy: JayZ, Drake, Usher, 50 cent, Tupac Shakur, Biggie Smalls (aka the Notorious BIG), R. Kelly   Rappers are black proxies for largely non-black owners, who seem always to escape justice   Puff Combs' Bay Boy Records (owned by BMG, sold to Sony in 2008, CEO Rob Stringer; Travis Scott's Cactus Jack Records, distributed by Epic Records, owned by Sony Music Entertainment, CEO Rob Stringer; Drake's OVO Sound, an imprint of Warner Records from its formation until 2022, CEO Aaron Bay-Schuck; Tyler, The Creator, Odd Future Records, parent company, Sony Music Entertainmen, CEO Rob Stringer; Legendary DEF JAM records, parent company Universal Music Group, CEO Sir Lucian Grainge; Jay Z's Rock a Fella Records, owned by Universal Music Group, CEO is Sir Lucian Grainge; 50 Cent's G-Unit Records, owned by Universal Music Group, CEO Sir Lucian Grainge; Usher and Justin Bieber's RBMG Island Def Jam Music Group, run by Tunji Balogun, but the parent company is Universal Music Group, CEO Sir Lucian Grainge; Yo Gotti's Collective Music Group CMG, owned by parent company, Universal Music Group, CEO Lucian Grainge; Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records, a subsidiary of Universal Music Group, and distributed through Interscope Records, CEO Sir Sir Lucian Grainge (Dickon Stainer in the UK)   The grandaddy of all the non black music executives is Clive Davis, the main puppet master of Diddy, and the man who launched careers dating back to the 60s, from Tony Orlando, the Bay City Rollers, Aretyha Franklin, Whitney Houston and many others up to: Justin Bieber, perhaps the highest profile troubled artist in this toxic space.
