When comedian John Franklin joined us for a round of music trivia back in December, he only got one question right—but it was an important one: Who sang “Funkytown”? That victorious moment has now come full circle, as John returns to help us take a deeper look at Lipps, Inc.'s massive 1980 hit and the whirlwind career of vocalist Cynthia Johnson. We get into how this Minneapolis-based studio project managed to top charts in 28 countries, briefly revive disco on its way out, and leave behind one of the most recognizable dance tracks of all time. With some surprising surprising facts and maybe a few Michael McDonald side tangents, this episode asks the big question—are we taking a trip to Funkytown, or do we simply gotta move on? Let's talk about it, talk about it, talk about it, talk about it! One Hit Thunder is brought to you by DistroKid, the ultimate partner for taking your music to the next level.

Les années 1980 sont devenues magiques pour beaucoup de gens qui donneraient cher aujourd'hui pour y revenir. Et en y repensant, je dois vous avouer me souvenir qu'on avait l'impression de vivre un grand moment. Tout nous semblait nouveau et moderne en 1980 : on jouait aux Space Invaders, on écoutait des radios libres pour la première fois et on utilisait un enregistreur VHS. Et si, question musique, en 1980, il y avait encore des Chantal Goya pour chanter Bécassine et Julio Iglesias Je n'ai pas changé, le reste, mis bout à bout, était sacrément moderne : The Buggles, Orchestral Manoeuvres, Funkytown, le Manureva d'Alain Chamfort, le Banana Split de Lio ou John and Mary de Robert Palmer, c'est quand même une musique futuriste avec tous ces synthés.Et puis il y a le ska. Je revois encore toute la piste de danse sautant d'un bloc sur One step beyond quinze fois sur la soirée d'un samedi. C'était quelque chose de radicalement nouveau qui correspondait tellement à la jeunesse du début des années 80. Si le genre n'a pas fait long feu, en Angleterre, il a été un véritable phénomène social avec des groupes comme Madness, bien sûr, mais surtout les Specials, Selecter, Bad Manners et The Beat. Complètement méconnu chez nous, The Beat enchaîne trois albums, tous disques d'or, avant de se séparer. Alors qu'est-ce qu'on fait ? se demandent Andy Cox et David Steele, respectivement bassiste et guitariste de The Beat, les auteurs de cette intro que tous les Britanniques connaissent … Moi je vous dis : une paire pareille de musiciens ne devrait pas se séparer, et justement, ils décident de continuer ensemble. Mais que jouer comme musique ? Ils sont plutôt punk, ont connu le succès avec le ska, deux musiques bien passées de mode en 1984, alors ils suivent un peu le mouvement du milieu de cette décennie, avec les Wham!, Madness ou Culture Club qui ont injecté de la soul américaine dans leur musique. Andy et David jouent chacun de plusieurs instruments, ils sont un band à eux seuls mais voilà, il leur faut un chanteur, un frontman. Alors ils passent une annonce dans un magazine musical. Pour vous dire à quel point la scène musicale était intense et lisait les magazines, ils reçoivent 500 cassettes de gars qui veulent être leur chanteur. Quand va-t-on écouter tout ça ?Ben on s'arrête au premier qui nous plaît.Et si le suivant est dix fois meilleur ?Ils vont mettre huit mois à trouver le temps de tout écouter et à choisir le bon. Il se nomme Roland Gift, et a aussi fait du ska, mais comme saxophoniste, dans un groupe de Hull sur la côte est du nord de l'Angleterre, bien connue de ceux qui prennent le ferry pour la Hollande. Ainsi naissent les Fine Young Cannibals, un groupe qui incarne tellement la seconde partie des années 80, une carrière fulgurante, seulement deux albums mais quels albums, synthèse de la pop d'une époque où on vivait pour la musique.

With the band back together and currently touring the country, it’s a very timely and spirited chat about the Aussie music scene.

Season 07 Episode 06: Free to air - The blue channels and digging in the trenchesWARNING: This episode includes discussion on both sex and serious workplace fatalities and injuries – we advise listener discretion.“Have you guys heard about the airline kerfuffle?” nudges Sara, as she shares a media report, “There was a flaw in the movie selection technology.” “It was a bit romantic, maybe a bit too romantic,” agrees Alan. “Bare boobs and prosthetic penises, or so the story goes,” Sara elaborates. She asks the boys, Trajce and Alan, to consider the impacts on workers and the potential for a workplace claim of trauma if exposed to this during work travel.Trajce shares more on his Solvenia experience and the never-ending blue channels in his rental villa. Alan and Trajce share more stories about their accidental graphic movie downloads while viewing in public spaces.Trajce channels “Funky Town,” lyrics while Alan tries to get serious about case law. Alan shares stories about moving plant, reversing mobile plant in tight spaces, and trenching issues. “The weight and unpredictability of working in trenches is worrisome,” Alan explains as he describes the prosecution based on a trenching collapse incident in which a worker was seriously injured. Alan measured 1.6m in the recording studio to dramatically demonstrate the depth of a trench that was a subject of one case. Trajce and Alan share more work health and safety prosecution stories arising from trench collapses. “Just don't do it,” says Sara.Trajce shares more on the harrowing reality of victim impact statements. To link this back to work re-design, Sara explains a fundamental aspect of design strategy, articulating the challenges and crafting a problem-based design statement.

Host Lee Hawkins investigates how a secret nighttime business deal unlocked the gates of a Minnesota suburb for dozens of Black families seeking better housing, schools, and safer neighborhoods. His own family included.TranscriptIntroLEE HAWKINS: This is the house that I grew up in and you know we're standing here on a sidewalk looking over the house but back when I lived here there was no sidewalk, and the house was white everything was white on white. And I mean white, you know, white in the greenest grass.My parents moved my two sisters and me in 1975, when I was just four years old. Maplewood, a suburb of 25,000 people at the time, was more than 90% white.As I rode my bike through the woods and trails. I had questions: How and why did these Black families manage to settle here, surrounded by restrictions designed to keep them out?The answer, began with the couple who lived in the big house behind ours… James and Frances Hughes.You're listening to Unlocking The Gates, Episode 1.My name is Lee Hawkins. I'm a journalist and the author of the book I AM NOBODY'S SLAVE: How Uncovering My Family's History Set Me Free.I investigated 400 years of my Black family's history — how enslavement and Jim Crow apartheid in my father's home state of Alabama, the Great Migration to St. Paul, and our later move to the suburbs shaped us.My producer Kelly and I returned to my childhood neighborhood. When we pulled up to my old house—a colonial-style rambler—we met a middle-aged Black woman. She was visiting her mother who lived in the brick home once owned by our neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Hutton.LEE HAWKINS: How you doing? It hasn't changed that much. People keep it up pretty well, huh?It feels good to be back because it's been more than 30 years since my parents sold this house and moved. Living here wasn't easy. We had to navigate both the opportunities this neighborhood offered and the ways it tried to make us feel we didn't fully belong.My family moved to Maplewood nearly 30 years after the first Black families arrived. And while we had the N-word and mild incidents for those first families, nearly every step forward was met with resistance. Yet they stayed and thrived. And because of them, so did we.LEE HAWKINS: You know, all up and down this street, there were Black families. Most of them — Mr. Riser, Mr. Davis, Mr. White—all of us can trace our property back to Mr. Hughes at the transaction that Mr. Hughes did.I was friends with all of their kids—or their grandkids. And, at the time, I didn't realize that we, were leading and living, in real-time, one of the biggest paradigm shifts in the American economy and culture. We are the post-civil rights generation—what I call The Integration Generation.Mark Haynes was like a big brother to me, a friend who was Five or six years older. When he was a teenager, he took some bass guitar lessons from my dad and even ended up later playing bass for Janet Jackson when she was produced by Minnesota's own Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.Since his family moved to Maplewood several years before mine, I called him to see what he remembered.MARK HAYNES: "It's a pretty tight-knit group of people,"Mark explained how the community came together and socialized, often –MARK HAYNES: "they—every week, I think—they would meet, actually. I was young—maybe five or six.LEE HAWKINS: And what do you remember about it? I asked. What kind of feeling did it give you?MARK HAYNES: It was like family, you know, all of them are like, uh, aunts and uncles to me, cousins. It just felt like they were having a lot of fun. I think there was an investment club too."Herman Lewis was another neighbor, some years older than Mark—an older teenager when I was a kid. But I remember him and his brother, Richard. We all played basketball, and during the off-season, we'd play with my dad and his friends at John Glenn, where I'd eventually attend middle school. Herman talked to me about what it meant to him.HERMAN LEWIS: We had friends of ours and our cousins would come all the way from Saint Paul just to play basketball on a Friday night. It was a way to keep kids off the street, and your dad was very instrumental trying to make sure kids stayed off the street. And on a Friday night, you get in there at five, six o'clock, and you play till 9, 10 o'clock, four hours of basketball. On any kid, all you're going to do is go home, eat whatever was left to eat. And if there's nothing left to eat, you pour yourself a bowl of cereal and you watch TV for about 15 to 25-30, minutes, and you're sleeping there, right in front of the TV, right?LEE HAWKINS: But that was a community within the community,HERMAN LEWIS: Definitely a community within the community. It's so surprising to go from one side of the city to the next, and then all of a sudden there's this abundance of black folks in a predominantly white area.Joe Richburg, another family friend, said he experienced our community within a community as well.LEE HAWKINS: You told me that when you were working for Pillsbury, you worked, you reported to Herman Cain, right? We're already working there, right? Herman Cain, who was once the Republican front runner for President of the United States. He was from who, who was from the south, but lived in Minnesota, right? Because he had been recruited here. I know he was at Pillsbury, and he was at godfathers pizza, mm hmm, before. And he actually sang for a time with the sounds of blackness, which a lot of people would realize, which is a famous group here, known all over the world. But what was interesting is you said that Herman Cain was your boss, yeah, when he came to Minnesota, he asked you a question, yeah. What was that question?Joe Richburg: Well, he asked me again, from the south, he asked me, Joe, where can I live? And I didn't really understand the significance of that question, but clearly he had a sense of belonging in that black people had to be in certain geographic, geographies in the south, and I didn't have that. I didn't realize that was where he was coming from.Before Maplewood, my family lived in St. Paul's Rondo neighborhood—a thriving Black community filled with Black-owned businesses and cultural icons like photojournalist Gordon Parks, playwright August Wilson, and journalist Carl T. Rowan.Like so many other Black communities across the country, Rondo was destroyed to make way for a highway. it was a forced removal.Out of that devastation came Black flight. Unlike white flight, which was driven by fear of integration, Black flight was about seeking better opportunities: better funded schools and neighborhoods, and a chance at higher property values.Everything I've learned about James and Frances Hughes comes from newspaper reports and interviews with members of their family.Mr. Hughes, a chemist and printer at Brown and Bigelow, and Frances, a librarian at Gillette Hospital, decided it was time to leave St. Paul. They doubled down on their intentions when they heard a prominent real estate broker associate Blacks with “the ghetto.” According to Frances Hughes, he told the group;FRANCES HUGHES (ACTOR): “You're living in the ghetto, and you will stay there.”She adds:FRANCES HUGHES (ACTOR): “I've been mad ever since. It was such a bigoted thing to say. We weren't about to stand for that—and in the end, we didn't.”The Hughes began searching for land but quickly realized just how difficult it could be. Most white residents in the Gladstone area, just outside St. Paul, had informal agreements not to sell to Black families. Still, James and Frances kept pushing.They found a white farmer, willing to sell them 10 acres of land for $8,000.And according to an interview with Frances, that purchase wasn't just a milestone for the Hughes family—it set the stage for something remarkable. In 1957, James Hughes began advertising the plots in the Twin Cities Black newspapers and gradually started selling lots from the land to other Black families. The Hughes's never refused to sell to whites—but according to an interview with Frances, economic justice was their goal.FRANCES HUGHES (ACTOR): “Housing for Blacks was extremely limited after the freeway went through and took so many homes. We wanted to sell to Blacks only because they had so few opportunities.”By the 1960s, the neighborhood had grown into a thriving Black suburban community. The residents here were deeply involved in civic life. They attended city council meetings, started Maplewood's first human rights commission, and formed a neighborhood club to support one another.And over time, the area became known for its beautiful homes and meticulously kept lawns, earning both admiration and ridicule—with some calling it “The Golden Ghetto.”Frances said:FRANCES HUGHES (ACTOR): “It was lovely. It was a showplace. Even people who resented our being there in the beginning came over to show off this beautiful area in Maplewood.”And as I pieced the story together, I realized it would be meaningful to connect with some of the elders who would remember those early daysANN-MARIE ROGERS: In the 50s, Mr. Hughes decided he was going to let go of the farming. And it coincided with the with 94 going through the RONDO community and displacing, right, you know, those people. So, at that time, I imagine Mr. Hughes had the surveyors come out and, you know, divided up into, you know, individual living blocks.That is Mrs. Ann-Marie Rogers, the mother of Uzziel and Thomas Rogers, who I spent a lot of time with as a kid. I shared what I'd uncovered in the archives, hoping she could help bring those early experiences to life.ANN-MARIE ROGERS: So, everyone played in our yard, the front yard, the yard light that was where they played softball, baseball, because the yard light was the home plate, and the backyard across the back was where they played football.Throughout this project, we found similar stories of strength, including one from Jeson Johnson, a childhood friend with another Minnesota musical connection. His aunt, Cynthia Johnson, was the lead singer of Lipps Inc., whose hit song “Funkytown” became a defining anthem of its time when many of us were just kids. We were proud of her, but I now know the bigger star was his grandmother.JESON JOHNSON: She was actually one of the first black chemists at 3M. So what she told me is that they had told her that, well, you have to have so much money down by tomorrow for you to get this house. It was really, really fast that she had to have the money. But my grandmother was she was really smart, and her father was really smart, so he had her have savings bonds. So what she told him was, if you have it in writing, then I'll do my best to come up with the money. I don't know if I'll be able to. She was able to show up that day with all her savings bonds and everything, and have the money to get it. And they were so mad, yes, that when she had got the house, they were so mad that, but they nothing that they could do legally because she had it on paper, right, right? And then that kind of started out in generation out there. It was the NAACP that kind of helped further that, just because she was chemist, they got her in the 3M, and all their programs started there.Decades later, as my friends and I played, I had no concept of any of the struggles, sacrifices and steps forward made by the pioneers who came before us. I checked in with my friend, Marcel Duke.LEE HAWKINS: did they tell you that mister Hughes was the guy that started, that started it?MARCEL DUKE: It probably never was conveyed that way, right to us kids, right? I'm sure back then, it was looked as an opportunity, yes, to get out of the city. Mm, hmm, and and where people that look like us live. And obviously that's the backstory of Mister Hughes, yeah, ultimately, we went out there because he made it known in the city, inner city, that we could move out there and be a community out there.Marcel is about four years older, I figured he may have clearer memories of Mr. Hughes than I do.MARCEL DUKE: I used to cut mister Hughes grass. I was like, like the little hustler in the neighborhood. I wanted to cut because I wanted money to go to spend on candy.Mr. Hughes' significance transcends the extra cash he put in the pockets of neighborhood kids. His granddaughter, Carolyn Hughes-Smith, told us more his multigenerational vision for Black American wealth building. But before he became a historical figure, he was just...grandpa.CAROLYN HUGHES-SMITH: the things that I really remember about him. He could whistle like I not whistle, but he could sing like a bird, you know, always just chirping. That's how we know he was around. He was more of a, like a farmer.He didn't talk much with his grandchildren about how he and Frances had unlocked the gates for Blacks. But she was aware of some of the difficulty he faced in completing that transaction that forever changed Maplewood.HUGHES-SMITH: I just heard that they did not, you know, want to sell to the blacks. And they, you know, it was not a place for the blacks to be living. And so, what I heard later, of course, was that my grandpa was able to find someone that actually sold the land to him out there and it, you know, and that's where it all started, reallyThat someone was a white man named Frank Taurek. He and his wife, Marie, owned the farm that Mr. Hughes and Frances had set their sights on. But the purchase was anything but straightforward. They had to make the deal through “night dealing.” Frances explains in a 1970s interview.FRANCES HUGHES (ACTOR): "It was just after the war. There was a tremendous shortage of housing, and a great deal of new development was going on to try to fix that. But, my dear, Negroes couldn't even buy a lot in these developments. They didn't need deed restrictions to turn us away. They just refused to sell."She describes the weekend visit she and her husband made to put in an offer on the land. By Monday morning, a St. Paul real estate company had stepped in, offering the Taurek's $1,000 more to keep Blacks out.FRANCES HUGHES (ACTOR): "But he was a man of his word, which gives you faith in human nature. The average white person has no idea of how precarious life in these United States is for anybody Black at any level. So often it was a matter of happenstance that we got any land here. The farmer could have very easily accepted the $1,000 and told us no, and there would have been nothing we could have done."What led Frank Taurek to defy norms and his neighbors, to sell the land to a Black family?DAVIDA TAUREK: I'm already moved to tears again, just hearing about it, [but and] hearing you talk about the impact of my, you know, my lineage there. It seems so powerful.This perspective comes from his great-granddaughter, Davida Taurek, a California-based psychotherapist. When I tracked her down, she was astonished to hear the long-buried story of how her white great grandparents sold their land to a Black family, unwittingly setting into motion a cascade of economic opportunities for generations to come.DAVIDA TAUREK: When I received your email, it was quite shocking and kind of like my reality did a little kind of sense of, wait, what? Like that somehow I, I could be in this weird way part of this amazing story of making a difference. You know, like you said, that there's generational wealth that's now passed down that just didn't really exist.I've seen plenty of data about what happens to property values in predominantly white neighborhoods when a Black family moves in. The perception of a negative impact has fueled housing discrimination in this country for decades, you may have heard the phrase: “There goes the neighborhood.” It's meant to be a sneer—a condemnation of how one Black family might “open the door” for others to follow. In this case, that's exactly what the Taurek's facilitated.As Carolyn Hughes- Smith sees it, the power of that ripple effect had a direct impact on her life, both as a youngster, but later as well.CAROLYN HUGHES-SMITH: We were just fortunate that my grandfather gave us that land. Otherwise, I don't, I don't know if we would have ever been able to move out thereHer parents faced some tough times –CAROLYN HUGHES-SMITH: making house payments, keeping food in the house, and that type. We were low income then, and my dad struggled, and eventually went back to school, became an electrician. And we, you know, were a little better off, but that happened after we moved out to Maplewood, but we were struggling.But they persevered and made it through –CAROLYN HUGHES-SMITH: after I grow got older and teen and that, I mean, I look back and say, Wow, my grandfather did all of this out hereOn the Taurek side of the transaction, the wow factor is even more striking. As I dug deeper into his story, it wasn't clear that he Frank Taurek was driven by any commitment to civil rights.Davida never met her great grandfather but explains what she knows about him.DAVIDA TAUREK: What I had heard about him was through my aunt that, that they were, you know, pretty sweet, but didn't speak English very well so there wasn't much communication but when they were younger being farmers his son my grandfather Richard ran away I think when he was like 14 years old. his dad was not very a good dad you know on a number of levels. There's a little bit of an interesting thing of like where Frank's dedication to his own integrity or what that kind of path was for him to stay true to this deal and make it happen versus what it meant to be a dad and be present and kind to his boy.Carolyn Hughes-Smith still reflects on the courage of her family—for the ripple effect it had on generational progress.CAROLYN HUGHES-SMITH: Would the struggle be the same? Probably not. But what makes me like I said, What makes me happy is our family was a big part of opening up places to live in the white community.LEE HAWKINS: Next time on Unlocking The GatesCAROLYN HUGHES-SMITH: The one thing that I really, really remember, and it stays in my head, is cross burning. It was a cross burning. And I don't remember exactly was it on my grandfather's property?OUTRO THEME MUSIC/CREDITS.You've been listening to Unlocking the Gates: How the North led Housing Discrimination in America.

Starlight Thursdays Episode 236 Featuring BK Love recorded live at Funky Town, Burning Man 2024. What an Honer it is to DJ at such an amazing camp. Funky Town has gone above and beyond, building a massive sound camp with major upgrades unique to this year's burn. The sound system was next level and as always the placement at the edge of the city facing the open dessert is truly awe inspiring. I chose a selection of music from all over the world, blending house with melodic techno and focusing on beautiful instruments and vocals. This mix brings me right back to that unforgettable moment where I got lost in the music and nothing else mattered. BK Love

Alan and Dave make the case that this smash hit is one of the worst songs to ever grind the wax. Listen to them talk about it, talk about it, talk about...Funkytown.

Get ready to groove with remixes of your all-time favorite jams from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s, reimagined to make you move like it's your last dance!

Starlight Thursdays Episode 235 Featuring Red Velvet and Forrest B2B recorded live at Funky Town, Burning Man 2024. This is the first time I've heard this talented couple DJ side by side and what a blast it was. Their styles and tase in music flow beautifully together. Get ready for some big thumping beats, from groves to booty shaking house bangers sure to keep you on your feet. -BK Love-

Starlight Thursdays Episode 234 welcome Dojous to the series with his live recording form Burning Man 2024 at camp Funky Town. How long have you been DJing? About 2 years. Why did you get into it? Was always a behind the scenes guy and so many respected friends are so darn good at it I finally had to give it a try. What events have you played? This year at the Burn was my first event I officially had a set at. I usually hop on with friends at Funk Your Burn or other house parties in Helena and Missoula to get some reps. This is the first time I actually curated a set from scratch and put it all together and played it etc.  Where do you live (generally)? Bozeman, MT Where are you from originally? Los Angeles, CA What inspires you to DJ? The desire to have more things in common with my friends. The challenge of learning something new and difficult and so rewarding. The love and importance of live music at parties with my friends What inspires you about electronic music culture? Creating platforms for other artists to grow as well as supporting my friends who are artists.  What genres are in your mix? Ambient, Indie-Dance, Deep House, Electronica, Melodic House & Techno, Downtempo Can you tell us a little bit about this mix?  Wanted to really play some songs and styles I enjoy that would go well with the chill vibes of Monday night at Burning Man. Lower bpm, more ethereal and dreamy, almost emo electronica to let everyones ears rest up for the sonic onslaught that they were about to endure…Wasn't expecting a party or crowd so went with some more downtempo music to ease everyone into the week and play some stuff I rarely hear at FunkyTown. After a hellacious build was also perfect for the mood of most of our campers as we were all already tired from days of building and camping out in the desert.  Huge thanks to BK for actually recording this set. Had no idea it would be recorded and it's been one of the best gifts to actually listen to it back again. I was so tired the night I played it I barely even remember the experience but this really helps! -Dojous- For more Dojous check out https://soundcloud.com/dojous

On Today's episode I have a one on one conversation with TCU's Freshman Defensive Tackle, Sterling Brooks. We discussed what the recruiting process was like for him and his experience as a freshman with TCU's cultural coaches and teammates. We also discussed how he is giving back, his role models, what he has learned since he has been on campus and more. Mr. Brooks gives us insight into his three year goals and plans. Mr. Brooks grew up in the Stop Six area of Fort Worth, TX. He is an Graduate of North Crowley High School. Listening to this young man's testimony will inspire many young people to believe in themselves, to work hard toward their dreams, to never give up and that having a better life is possible.

If you always think of the cowbell as some frivolous thing to be mocked by Will Ferrell, you need to listen to more music. This mighty percussion instrument is amazingly versatile! It can anchor a hard rock beat, it can spice up a latin jazz standard, and it can turn an ordinary groove into an all time party anthem. The fabulous cowbell is more than worthy to have it's own episode, and we couldn't think of anyone we'd rather have guesting on this one. The always affable Dustin Prince brought his trusty cowbell for some in-studio demonstration as we wrap up our list with picks 5-1 in Top Ten Cowbell Songs Part 2.

Listen to tales from the Countdown Awards, including a memorable moment with Michael Hutchence, and discover how Pseudo Echo's knack for choosing great covers, like "Nutbush," played a role in their success. Plus, we chat about the thrilling rediscovery of lost demo tapes, shedding light on the joys and challenges of working with vintage equipment. Wrap up this fantastic episode with a nod to Pseudo Echo's standout live performance at the Countdown Awards in 1983.What has Brian Canham been up to lately?  Let's find out!!Get out when you can, support local music and I'll see you down the front!!Visit: ThatRadioChick.com.au

If you are an avid listener of JJTM, then you know how much geeking out Dustin likes to do when talking about photography…especially live music and concert photography. Well, this week we were invited down to the Low Doubt bar for a Funkytown Focus event by Fort Worth Camera. The event was called “Downbeat” and […] The post Show 575 – Roman, Jamie, and Funkytown Focus appeared first on The Jerry Jonestown Massacre.

Pseudo Echo are an Australian new wave band that were formed in 1982 by Brian Canham (vocals, guitar, and keyboards), Pierre Gigliotti (bass keyboards and bass guitar), and Tony Lugton (keyboards). Later members included Anthony Argiro (drums), James Leigh (keyboards), and Vince Leigh (drums). In the 1980s, Pseudo Echo had multiple Australian top 20 hits with "Listening", "A Beat for You", "Don't Go", "Love an Adventure", and "Living in a Dream". Their 1986 cover of "Funky Town" (originally by Lipps Inc.) was an international success, peaking at No. 1 in Australia and New Zealand and becoming a top ten hit in Sweden, Canada, the United States, and in the United Kingdom. Their 1984 debut album, Autumnal Parrk, peaked at No. 11 on the Australian Kent Music Music Report, Love an Adventure followed in 1985 and reached No. 14. Their third album, Race (1988), peaked at No. 18. In 1990, the group disbanded. They reformed in 1998 and released the album Ultraviolet (2014), Acoustica, and After Party (both 2020). Australian rock music historian Ian McFarlane described the band as "combining] flash clothes, blow-wave hairstyles, youthful exuberance and accessible synth-pop to arrive at a winning combination."

Welcome to the MAKES SENSE podcast, where we apply the science, art and philosophy of sense making to the things that make you go Hmmm? Those most pressing thoughts and discussions going on in our minds today. The Makes Sense Podcast is an expense free service with the intention of helping you execute on the concept of changing the way you look at things, so that the things you look at begin to change.  Connect With Dr. JC - https://zez.am/makessense Today we'll MAKE SENSE of a process i call SORTING - A technique from step three (Assess) of the Interface Response System that assists us in making better Decisions that are in support of the life you desire Let's consciously take this moment and begin the process of reclaiming control of our reality. How do we reclaim control of our reality and life? We must first identify what it means and feel like it is out of control? How does the feeling of being out of control show up in your life? For me, it shows up in many ways. When I participate with my thoughts and feelings of worry and concern for example. I can find myself either overeating or easily agitated and irritated by people. Even loved ones. I find it hard for me to multitask and stay on track with the things I had planned to do that day. Sometimes I find my confidence is down as well as my general outlook on life. In fact I have created a general name for all these symptoms and feelings associated with me being out of control. I call it FUNKY TOWN. Where I find myself in a FUNK. Have you been there? Only challenge is that while I am feeling these downstream symptoms I am unaware or unconscious that I am out of control.  I just feel crappy in general. Yet I am unaware that I am trying to control the uncontrollables in my life. See, that is my definition of being out of control. Being out of the state of controlling the things we control and in the state of trying to build an airplane in the sky or teach a goldfish to climb a tree. Both are impossible. Just like you trying to control the uncontrollables in your life and feeling, OUT OF CONTROL. One of my favorite quotes came from the amazing Ekhart Tolle, author of one of my top favorite reads, The Power of Now. Tolle speaks a lot about suffering and says that the first step to end suffering is the acknowledgment that you are in fact suffering. This is why I introduced the concept of first being able to make the distinction that you are in fact out of control and that your lack of control is showing up in your ineffectiveness at responding to adversity with grace. As we discussed in the last episode. Why is this important? Well, it would be the reason and catalist for you wanting to make some changes in your life. Specifically in taking control of what you decide to do with your time, as well as who and what gets into your schedule and mind and who and what does not?  So let's start with unveiling why we'd want to learn how to sort through the things that matter vs don't? It begins with your current reality and what your perception is about your life. Are you genuinely happy with your life? How would you go about determining if you were genuinely happy? Paul Conti interview on Huberman Lab. When asked how we define a “Healthy Self”? What is the healthy version of self? What should we all be aspiring to? Paul Conti replied that a healthy self presents its life through the lens of agency and gratitude. He explains that if a human has those two things, Agency and Gratitude, you almost never see things go wrong.  Agency refers to an individual's capacity to make choices, set goals, and take intentional actions to influence their life circumstances. Gratitude: involves recognizing and appreciating the positive aspects of life, acknowledging the goodness in oneself and others, and expressing thankfulness. So, if someone is genuinely happy with themselves, they are someone that is experiencing agency and gratitude  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLRCS48Ens4) My question to Paul Conti should I ever be graced with his presence on the show would be this. Can a human being create and self fabricate the illusion that they are in a state of agency and gratitude through the practices of mindfulness and repetition of things like daily affirmations and controlling what they consume from the world each day? And, is that the same as the genuine agency and gratitude that I am hearing you speak of? In other words, can we decide any day to practice and manifest agency and gratitude even in the absence of things like basic physical, mental and financial well being due to a lack of motivation and consistency in our daily lives? Can we fabricate it and make it up? OUR SPONSOR: Makes Sense Academy - https://www.riseupwithdragon.com/makes-sense-academy Why am I fascinated by this idea of possessing the ability to look at life through the lens of Agency and Gratitude? Because it is the foundation for why someone would take their lives serious enough to consider practicing some of the various effective tools we discuss on this podcast that are intended to pause our potentially inefficient response system, and take measures to learn how to protect the doorway to our minds with things like consumption control and the practice of sorting. In other words, if you don't know your power and abilities and don't have a deep appreciation for how amazing and precious life is? You won't be motivated to protect it and will do what most do. Go with the flow. Definition: Sorting is the process of arranging things systematically into groups; separating things according to type, class, etc. "the mail was sorted"  In the context of phase three of the Interface Response System, ASSESS. Sorting carries the same definition yet has a different intention outside of just getting things organized. The practice of sorting is analogous to that of a filter. Taking things we interface with (events, people, thoughts, feelings etc.) and sorting them out to determine which ones go and which ones stay. Similar to the traditional elements of sorting, in this filter we must learn how to assess the events; Prioritization and importance: Does it matter Goal Alignment: In accordance with our goals and dreams. Categorization: Where does it fit in or does it not? Control Factor: Do we have any control over the situation or not? THE BOUNCER: The best way to put some color to the practice of sorting is analogy of the BOUNCER - The basic premise of a bouncer's job in a bar or nightclub is quality control. If working the front door, the bouncer checks ID's and uses a guest list to control who gets in and who doesn't. If walking around the inside of the facility, the bouncers job is to make sure everyone that got inside is playing nice and adding to the quality of the environment for all to enjoy themselves. If all is looking kosher, its nothing but smiles. If someone or something is out of alignment the bouncer reserves the right to remove them from the premises with force if necessary.  In terms of you being the bouncer in your life it means that your mind, mental health and sense making machine represents the nightclub. Your voluntary conscious mind is the filter or bouncer that is there to sort things out. Determine who and what's on the invited guest list or not. Your negative thoughts, fears, worries, and concerns that are holding you back? They are the guests in your nightclub that are no longer welcome and must be escorted from the premises.  The skill set of the bouncer goes beyond just sorting. A good bouncer doesn't take things personally when guests argue and complain or resist being removed. A good bouncer separates themselves from getting emotionally attached to these interactions and just does their job based on using logic and rationale in connection with the desire to have a homeostatic, safe and efficient environment. They assess the situation by asking three basic questions that require checks across the board. Get one no to one of the three questions? No entry and removal from the premises. Does this matter and is this about me or them? Is this in support of the direction I am moving? Is this in my control or not? By asking these three questions, you are passing all things you interface with through your sorting filter. Helping you determine what gets in and stays, vs. what doesn't get it and must go.  Might you need to hire a bouncer to start checking ID's, and walk through your nightclub to remove unwanted guests?

The lifelong friends who founded Funkytown Brewing discuss the strategic planning that propelled their brewery to success. 01:34 Beer Myth: Are lighter colored beers healthier? Learn the truth behind beer color's correlation with calorie content so you can savor your brews without compromising on flavor or falling for inaccurate health claims. 06:09 Funkytown Brewery Interview: Funkytown Brewery's Richard Bloomfield (co-owner and CEO), Gregory Williams (Director of Sales), and Zachary Day (Director of Brewery Operations) discuss their journey from childhood friendships to opening and running a successful brewery together, emphasizing the strategic thinking it took to get where they are today. They discuss customer palates as it relates to brewing beers with “strong” flavors as opposed to palatable, low ABV, low bitterness, and low astringency characteristics that cater to individuals new to beer, in addition to the role of community and entrepreneurship in their business journey and the nuances of scaling a brewing operation from home to larger production. They also discuss the business lessons they learned at Barrel & Flow, their experience with the Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream's Brewing & Business Experienceship, the concept of contract brewing and brewery incubators, and their path to partnering with Pilot Project in Chicago. This is a beer podcast, after all, so they also crack open some beers with Brain and Katherine and talk about the creation and evolution of Funkytown's offerings, starting with Hip-Hops and R&Brew, Funkytown's beer that started it all: smooth and mellow with notes of citrus orange, fresh strawberry, and lychee. They talk about various hops like Citra, a popular choice in the hop world, and discuss their experience with various beer styles, expressing their current stance on not producing trend-driven IPAs to stay true to their vision. You'll also hear insights into their brewing process, including flash pasteurization and hop additions, and the importance of trial and error in achieving the desired flavors in their beers. 53:32 This Week in Bad Customer Behavior: What do you do when two people are aggressively making out on a couch when your brewery is about to close for the evening? And why would people do that in the first place? Katherine describes the awkward and outrageous antics of two patrons in a public space, and answers the question: what is a beer shop to do to maintain a PG environment in the face of excessive PDA? This segment promises a cringe-worthy tale that may make you both chuckle and squirm in your seat at the same time.

Podcast Overview: Will & Acraze discuss the follow up from 'Do It To It', remaining underground and the time commitment of a music career & touring. Who is Acraze: Staten Island-born Charlie Duncker, or better known as Acraze, is skyrocketing in the electronic music world with his energy- infused sound and versatile style. The DJ/producer and songwriter has recently transitioned from his speaker-rattling Bass sound to more of a genre-defying House approach that will have any dance floor grooving. His latest label release, “Do It To It,” has been rising to the top as one of the best House tracks of the year with worldwide support of industry titans, DJ Snake, Malaa, Chris Lake, Gordo, and more. This Acraze brand evolution proves his ability to conquer any move he makes with his unique sense of musical taste. From his signature pumping bassline in “Marco Polo," to his house rendition of disco record “Funky Town,” Charlie is poised to create his own path in the scene with a universal ability to blur the lines of genre. As a performer, he radiates an unparalleled aura that captivates any crowd from the moment he touches the stage. With the mind of a visionary, Acraze is ready to blow the dance floor away with his original, refreshing, and eclectic sound; when the beat drops, you'll know it's an Acraze production.

There were a lot of things about the 1980s that we'd like to forget but one of the most memorable parts of the decade was the music. While artists like Madonna, the Police, Def Leppard, and Michael Jackson were popular for huge parts of the decade, the music scene of the 1980s is filled with artists who had one, and only one, hit song.  In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we're talking about the one hit wonders of the 1980s. We've got a list of songs that includes some that we still listen to today…and some that haven't aged very well.  So, Come On Eileen and Take On Me while we Put On the Ritz down in Funkytown.  Hear More Check out the episode playlist.

Movie and TV star Romina D'Ugo shares what life is like for a woman in Hollywood. She also shares a deeply personal story of how a nude scene was sprung on her without her consent.   Society often paints people who identify as feminists as frigid or man hating. But, is that truly what the term means or has it been hijacked? Join us as Romina shares why feminism became important to her. To learn more -- or read the transcript -- visit the official episode page. CSA Best Actress nominee Romina D'Ugo is a first-generation Canadian and proud daughter to Italian immigrant parents. Originally from Toronto, Romina grew up dancing and trained since the age of 9 at one of the most competitive dance schools in the country. Performing has been a natural extension of Romina's being since a young age but her career began when she landed a supporting role in the Universal Pictures film “How She Move.” Romina became a household name when she earned a spot as one of the Top 20 dancers on season 1 of the hugely popular series “So You Think You Can Dance.” She went on to star opposite Justin Chatwin in the feature film, “Funkytown.” In 2010, Romina also starred in MTV's original movie “Turn The Beat Around,” for which she was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the Canadian Screen Awards. Romina has appeared in a plethora of TV series including “Godfather of Harlem” (EPIX), “Coyote” (Paramount), “Designated Survivor” (NBC/Netflix), “12 Monkeys” (SYFY/NBC), “Rookie Blue” (ABC/Global), “Nikita” (CW), and “Nurses” (NBC/Global). Romina also choreographed for Margot Robbie and Cara Delevingne in the DC Comics film “Suicide Squad.” Most recently, she starred in the coming-of-age dramatic comedy “I Like Movies,” making its world premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival. The film is currently making the festival rounds and will be released in select theatres in Canada in March. Passionate about artistry in all its forms, Romina is also the designer and creator of the eco-conscious jewelry line, WILYMI Jewelry Co. WILYMI stands for "Wear It Like You Mean It” and was created as a way of imbuing her life lessons into wearable art. Each piece holds a unique and purposeful intention and is an expression of this intimate process. Romina spends hours dreaming up designs, and relishes in the journey of sourcing materials to bring her visions to reality, meticulously handpicking stones and crafting each luxe, limited edition piece. A champion of women's empowerment movements, a portion of the proceeds go to the GIRLS INC charity, which equips girls to navigate gender, economic, and social barriers, and advocates for legislation and policies to increase opportunities and rights for all girls.
