Les contes de Noël ont bien changé depuis le 19ème siècle. Je crois que c'est dans les années 80 que tout a basculé. Que tout est devenu, disons, plus moderne. Il est vrai que jamais une décennie n'a été vécue autant dans le présent que celle-là, elle restera celle où on a arrêté de croire qu'en l'an 2000 on volerait dans notre engin spatial individuel et donc, au père Noël.Le père Noël, c'est nous ! Ca, George Michael et Andrew Ridgeley l'ont bien compris du haut de leurs 20 ans. Et alors que leur duo, Wham!, vient d'être propulsé au sommet, et qu'ils sont tous deux chez les parents de George, celui-ci imagine un conte de Noël moderne. Vous connaissez cette histoire d'amour heureux puis malheureux, entre deux Noël, on l'a assez entendue … Une chanson dans laquelle George croit fermement et qu'il enregistre seul, en plein été, comme Nat King Cole des décennies avant lui, mais dont il compte tourner un clip crédible. Avec Andrew, l'histoire est entendue, il faut reconstituer une bande de jeunes qui font la fête aux sports d'hiver, sous la neige. Coup de bol, en novembre, il a neigé en Suisse, dans le Valais. On y va ! Mais qui va jouer la fiancée et la future ex ? Un mannequin, Kathy Hill, les choristes Pepsie et Shirley et quelques potes à eux sont du voyage, ils joueront la bande. Ils sont un peu fauchés, alors, trop contents de se faire un week-end à la montagne. Mais bon, on n'a pas trop de budget, dit le manager. Ça n'empêche toute la bande de faire le siège du bar de l'hôtel en attendant l'arrivée de George et Andrew. Ça commence bien.Tu as la broche ? demande le réalisateur à Andrew. Bien sûr. Celle que George est censé offrir à sa copine et qu'il va retrouver un an plus tard avec Andrew et en avoir le cœur brisé. Le tournage est prévu dans deux chalets, un pour les extérieurs et un pour le dîner entre copains où la consigne est claire : on doit y croire !Et on y croit. Ça rit avec une telle sincérité que c'en est bluffant à l'image. Il faut dire que c'est du vrai vin qu'on sert à tout va, c'est gratos. On n'a pas mis du jus de raisin pour le réalisme, bonne idée, mais là, on finit par y être un peu trop. Heureusement, on a de belles images où George offre à Katty, la fameuse broche, de la maman d'Andrew. Mais voilà, une pause, un moment d'inattention, lorsque Kathy reprend le manteau qu'elle avait ôté, plus de broche. Catastrophe pour le réalisateur, il faut encore tourner l'autre scène qui rend George triste, et puis, c'est un bijou de maman, crie Andrew, bien dégivré sur le coup ! Tout le monde se met à chercher la broche. Où a-t-elle bien pu la perdre ? Tout l'hôtel est passé au peigne fin, lits, oreillers, bar, couloirs, salles de bain. Et là, deux versions circulent, celle du portier qui dit l'avoir retrouvée sur la rue dans la neige, probablement tombée en sortant d'une voiture ; l'autre par Kathy qui dit l'avoir retrouvée au fond de son sac, accrochée à un autre vêtement.Happy end dans les deux cas pour ce conte des eighties. Le clip a merveilleusement fonctionné et tourné sur toutes les télés, et surtout la bande s'est éclatée grave à un point qu'on ne peut en raconter les détails sur antenne à une heure de grande écoute, surtout à un moment où TOUT commence à ressembler sacrément à Noël …

Every December, the same two songs return — playing in stores, homes, airports, and holiday parties around the world. Do They Know It's Christmas? and Last Christmas have become so deeply embedded in our global celebration of the season that it feels like they've always been there. But they haven't. In this episode, Kate takes a deep dive into the remarkable back stories behind two of the most iconic Christmas songs ever recorded, both released within days of each other in December 1984 — and both created under dramatically different circumstances.

Join Bianca and Julian for their final episode of 2026, as they unwrap a Christmas classic: “Last Christmas" by Wham! In this holiday send-off, they tackle a few burning questions: Why is this song so infectious? Why does it feel timeless decades later? And why has it been copied so endlessly? They dig into the influences and science behind George Michael's hit, breaking down its composition, arrangement, and production choices that give the song its staying power. From there, they branch out into four (…maybe five) tracks clearly inspired by “Last Christmas,” exploring how the song's DNA and tricks pop up in several hits from artists of different genres.  As part of the conversation, Bianca and Julian wrestle with the cringe factor of Christmas music, the enduring power of Eurovision-style pop, and the influence of opera in pop music. They also discuss holiday movies, upcoming film releases they're excited about, and the shocking, deeply sad news of Rob and Michele Reiner's tragic deaths. So pour some mulled wine, embrace the minor-key melancholy, and get ready for one last festive deep dive before the year wraps. Happy Holidays and New Year from Bianca and Julian! Thanks for a great year! Email us at anythingbuttoto@gmail.com Theme music by Daniel Konikoff

Our latest Wild City mix from the dancefloors of ParaDisco, the party series founded by Mumbai's Nida Merchant, who was already one of the country's busiest DJs before she turned her focus to building the event series and other efforts like New Delhi Community Radio from the ground up. Dedicated to the joyous nature of disco and house, the parties are not the run-of-the-mill affair of handpicked artists at regular venues, but see extra care in stylistic cohesion across not just curation but the look and feel of the events. Inviting collaboration (their Halloween party saw Delhi's Monkey Bar get decked up with the help of Nabi, for instance) and giving a chance to beginner DJs through open calls, ParaDisco promotes a sense of community, and the growing community has responded so far across cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Pune and even London. As it gears up for a Goa edition on December 27, our latest Wild City mix shares the sounds from ParaDisco's latest iteration in Mumbai as Nida leads the way into a b2b2b between her and Mumbai's own Choksi and Sohail Arora aka Rafiki. The first hour is littered with familiar tunes recontextualised through edits and sampling to offer Bollywood soundtracks from films like 'Disco Dancer', songs by Etta James and George Michael, Four Tet's famed remix of Taylor Swift's 'Love Story' to reel the listener in. Once hooked, the mix undergoes a palpable shift an hour in as the acid basslines of Kink's 'Disco Spectrum' turn the mood a bit more intense and modern as the tag team of three keeps the mix oscillating between sombre, percussive and the occasional popular callback. The mix comes fully live, as record pull-ups give a sense of the height the party reached at ParaDisco's last outing.

GRAMMY winner and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer Mike Reid chats about his remarkable musical life. PART ONEScott and Paul talk about the sports games and so much morePART TWOOur in depth conversation with Mike ReidABOUT MIKE REIDNashville Songwriters Hall of Famer Mike Reid has written twelve #1 country songs and has had his work recorded by Bonnie Raitt, Anita Baker, Bette Midler, Prince, George Michael, Nancy Wilson, Etta James, Kenny Rogers, Ann Murray, Wynonna Judd, Alabama, Joe Cocker, Tanya Tucker, Willie Nelson, Collin Raye and Tim McGraw. He is perhaps best known for co-writing the modern-day standard “I Can't Make You Love Me” with Allen Shamblin. Launching his music career as a staff songwriter for country star Ronnie Milsap's publishing company, Reid penned Milsap hits such as “Stranger in My House,” which won a Grammy for Best Country Song” and “Lost in the Fifties Tonight,” which was named ASCAP's Country Song of the Year. As an artist, Mike signed with Columbia Records and scored a #1 hit with the self-penned “Walk on Faith.”Others who've recorded Reid's songs include Tammy Wynette, Rita Coolidge, Don Williams, Billy Dean, Josh Turner, Shelby Lynne, The Judds, George Jones, and Shania Twain. A true Renaissance man, Reid went on to compose theatrical and operatic works, winning a Richard Rodgers Development Award from the Academy of Arts and Letters for 1997's The Ballad of Little Jo. His most recent project is a collaborative album with Joe Henry called Life and Time.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Good Morning, ‘Hark!' ‘Do you hear what I hear?' ‘They said there'd be snow this Christmas; they said there'd be peace on earth' ‘Do they know it's Christmas?' ‘I pray God it's our last!' Throughout the land the lyrics of Christmas songs are being piped in shopping centres and pubs and, loved or loathed, we sing along. This year's official Christmas No1 will be decided on Friday. Current favourite is Kylie, with oldies from George Michael and Slade chasing hard. As Slade's Noddy Holder sings; ‘Does your granny always tell ya that the old songs are the best.' Then, in a tradition begun by Lennon and taken up by Rage Against The Machine, there are the Christmas protest songs. This year's from Brian Eno and Peter Gabriel with ‘Lullaby', a song for Gaza, and Billy Bragg's ‘Put Christ Back Into Christmas', with Bragg asking us ‘to stand with those who need the most' and reminding us that Christmas celebrates the birth of a refugee. It seems very British to me that we are free to mix protest in with sentimentality and silliness. The Christmas story is spacious enough to contain all our hopes and fears, our joy and praise, our rage and indifference. Even our scrooge-iest revulsion. For I contend that the birth of Christ is itself a kind of cosmic protest song. The original Christmas No.1 was after all sung by angels to people at the margins of society: the young Mary and Shepherds, those far from the corridors of power and status; a startling song that announces a change to the status quo, a tune sweeter and louder than the prevailing mood music of despair, the monotonous dirge of violence and oppressive power, of one bad thing after another: ‘Do not be afraid' it declares. ‘There will be peace on earth.' It's arguable that we might never have heard this story had the message not been sung to people who were immediately in tune with it, and able to sing back in words of astonished wonder and praise: ‘he has scattered the proud, put down the mighty, exalted those of lowly degree.' Or ‘My eyes have seen your salvation.' Once you've ‘hailed the incarnate deity'; or seen the Godhead veiled in flesh, the chances are you're going to sing about it. Christmas invites the world to sing a different tune. I'd even suggest that part of the reason we still sing about it – even if we stray into sentiment - is that its core melody is like a pop tune or great carol you can't help but sing along with. ‘No. I can't get you out of my head; because God and sinners are reconciled; because mild he lays his glory by; the hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee; And so this is Christmas.'

Have you ever looked into a man's sex toy drawer and learned everything about him? I did. And what I found had me soaked before dessert.

“You gotta have faith,” George Michael sang a long time ago. Given the unfortunate fate that befell that conflicted artist, it's worth taking a moment to reflect upon how hard it is to find inner peace, and make a commitment to whatever faith you still possess during this Christmas season. Life is very complicated right now and holding on to love, practicing gratitude, and radiating good intentions will help to get us through these dark days. We here at The Hotel Bohemia want to gift you a holiday sampler chock full of savory contradictions and sweet mysteries, delivered by Jan and Dean, Tom Jones, and Evil Wiener. Since Xmas celebrates the birth of the redeemer, and the gift Christ offered to the world, the three songs lined up today trace the arc of his sacrifice and our crisis of faith: The Annunciation (Jan & Dean); the Crucifixion (Tom Jones); and, finally, the Resurrection (Evil Wiener)The Annunciation (T.A.M.I Show Theme: Jan and Dean)Jan and Dean, like two sun-kissed Angels, announce to the world that a youthful era of optimism has begun. Rock and Roll will save the world, they proclaim, and, we, the youth believed it. In the T.A.M.I. show theme song you can feel the exuberance of their faith. Two years later, Jan Berry almost dies from a car crash, and today the Boomers are rapidly going down in shameful flames, but in this time capsule from 1964 none of that is on the horizon- it's all smooth sailing ahead.The Crucifixion (Charlie Darwin: Tom Jones)Here the smooth sailing is over, and the all encompassing ocean is overwhelming a ship's crew - they are drowning. From out of the God given pipes of Sir Tom Jones, a prayer goes out - but to whom? There is a deep crisis of faith portrayed here in mysterious utterances. Does Charlie Darwin represent an irreconcilable conflict between natural selection and charity? Did he try to tell us something that we weren't ready to hear? That Survival of the Fittest must doom us? Just as Jesus cried out on the cross, “why have you forsaken me?” The crew here is also expressing a crisis of faith. Or, is there a conflict at all? In the end faith is all they have. They are crying out to God as the water consumes them.The Resurrection (All Over the World: Evil Wiener)Bill McCormick, aka Billy Sugarfix, aka Evil Weiner may have had some doubts about the existence of Santa Claus, (and by extension, the Savior), but he's returned to the fold of the faithful. From the special edition EP from 1993 on the Flavor-Contra label, here is Evil Wiener's goofy recommitment to his faith - and a joy filled Birthday Greeting to Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas everybody!

SEGMENT 1 — Setting the StageQuestion posed: “Are these the worst Christmas songs of all time?”Hosts clarify their relationship with Christmas music:One listens only occasionally (tree decorating, Christmas morning).One avoids it entirely—would rather plug their ears. SEGMENT 2 — Reviewing the List (Song by Song)1. “I Never Knew the Meaning of Christmas” – NSYNCSome familiarity.Reaction: “It's whatever… I get why it's on the list.”2. “Cherry, Cherry Christmas” – Neil DiamondCo-host's childhood connection (mom's album, first concert).Agreement: belongs on the “worst” list.3. “Don't Shoot Me Santa” – The KillersNeither host knows it.Judged purely by title: immediate “no.”4. “Dominic the Donkey” – Lou MonteImmediate agreement: belongs on the list.One host has never heard it.5. “Funky Funky Christmas” – New Kids on the BlockReactions: sounds awful, questionable attempt at creating an original Christmas hit.6. “Santa Baby” – Michael BubléDiscussion about the original (Eartha Kitt).Disagreement: Bublé can sing—should it really be on the list?7. “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas”One host doesn't hate it.Other host is glad they've avoided it.8. “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer”Strong reaction: “Worst Christmas song of all time.”Always gets turned off instantly.9. “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” – Jackson 5Debate: cute classic vs. slightly “risqué.”10. “The Christmas Shoes” – NewSongBoth hosts OUT.Described as sad, slow, and “not the best.”11. “Wonderful Christmastime” – Paul McCartneyDivisive!One host loves it: “He's a Beatle—come on!”The other thinks he should've stuck to Beatles songs.12. “Do They Know It's Christmas?” – Band AidDiscussion about the big lineup: Bono, George Michael, Sting, etc.Despite the star power, hosts find it just “okay.”13. “The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)” – Alvin & The ChipmunksChildhood nostalgia for one host.A one-listen-per-day max.Other host fully checks out and stares at the studio TV. SEGMENT 3 — Launa's Christmas Music StanceReiterates: doesn't hate Christmas, just the music.Tree decorating soundtrack? → Breaking Benjamin, not Christmas music.

What if the most meaningful things we ever do are the ones no one will ever see?This episode was inspired by a powerful article I read about George Michael and the countless acts of anonymous generosity he carried out during his life. (You'll hear me accidentally say he passed in 2026 instead of 2016 — a very human slip — but the heart of the story stands.)His legacy is a reminder that real impact is quiet, soulful, and never dependent on recognition. In a world that has become increasingly performative, today's conversation guides us back to intention, depth, and the kind of giving that comes from our truest selves.What you'll hear in this episode:The George Michael story that sparked today's messageWhy so much of our world has become performativeHow to check your intention before you give or serveWhat it feels like to act from soul instead of egoWhy approval seeking keeps us disconnectedReflection questions to help you return to heart-led actionA reminder that real impact never needs an audienceClosing affirmation:I choose to give because it feels right, not because it will be seen.Sponsor note:If you want to deepen your connection with the young person in your life, pick up The Connection Book on Amazon.

We were so excited (though we kept it subdued) to meet the hilarious Wendi McLendon-Covey from Reno 911!, St Denis Medical, Bridesmaids, and Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar. Wendi enjoys going to concerts and says it gives her the same satisfaction as travel but it's shorter and cheaper. You'll find that listening to Wendi talk about concerts is like traveling or going to a concert yourself but with the added benefit of not leaving your comfy bed and knocking out a GNS yourself. GNS stands for Good Night's Sleep and it's an acronym we're going to use some more. We hear about some of Wendi's favorite shows, including George Michael at his ripped jeans and leather jacket finest. Best of all, Wendi very much understood the assignment of our show and uses her most soothing voice so your trip to a GNS is assured.Watch the second season of St. Denis Medical on Peacock or on your local NBC station.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you'd like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?Email us at: sleepwithcelebs@maximumfun.org.Follow the Show on:Instagram @sleepwcelebsBluesky @sleepwithcelebsTikTok @SleepWithCelebsJohn is on Bluesky @JohnMoeJohn's acclaimed, best-selling memoir, The Hilarious World of Depression, is now available in paperback._________________________________________________________________________Join | Maximum FunIf you like one or more shows on MaxFun, and you value independent artists being able to do their thing, you're the perfect person to become a MaxFun monthly member.

Don and Dude continue their celebration of Casey Kasem and the enduring legacy of American Top 40. For this installment of Classic Casey Countdowns, the guys turn the dial back to the week of November 10, 1984,  a neon-saturated era when pop, soul, and MTV all collided. Two albums from that chart dominate the discussion, both tied to unforgettable Top 10 singles that defined mid‑Eighty's radio magic.Billy Ocean – Suddenly (1984) The Trinidad‑born singer's breakthrough LP fused R&B, post‑disco, and pop into a sleek, heartfelt package. Produced by Keith Diamond, the record launched Ocean into global stardom with “Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)”—the #1 hit that ruled both the Hot 100 and soul charts. Ocean's smooth tenor, vibrant sax hooks, and narrative flair set the tone for an album balancing dance‑floor confidence (“Loverboy”) and tenderness (“Suddenly”). Musical craftsmanship, rich production, and emotional sincerity make this a quintessential 1984 crossover.Wham! – Make It Big (1984) Recorded mainly in France and crafted by George Michael, this pop‑soul phenomenon redefined chart‑topping polish. “Wake Me Up Before You Go‑Go” kicked off Wham!'s four‑for‑four streak of U.S. #1 singles, pairing Motown bounce with pure 80s exuberance. Deeper cuts like “Everything She Wants” and “Careless Whisper” showcase lyrical weight beneath the brightness—proof of Michael's emerging genius as writer, producer, and arranger. It's colorful, confident, and irresistibly hook‑laden pop that still resonates decades later.Dude is Diggin":Whiskey Myers – Whomp Whack Thunder (2025)Pearl Jam – Vs. (1993) (vinyl)Don is Diggin' :Heaven 17 – new album, 2026 (feat. “There's Something About You”)The New Wave Music Podcast Episode 121 (featuring Don as guest reviewer)Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds.

This week's Throwback Thursday episode revisits Episode 118 from August 29th, 2022, where the spotlight is on George Michael's genre-blending smash hit “Faith.” With its unmistakable Bo Diddley beat, cheeky lyrics, and a leather-jacketed swagger, “Faith” became the second single from Michael's solo debut and ultimately the #1 Billboard song of 1988.

Let's talk about what happens when your sexy yes becomes a confusing no. A listener wrote in about a little pegging predicament, and you know I couldn't resist pulling this one apart

As a singer and songwriter, George sold more than 100 million records, won two Grammy awards and notched up countless number one hits.He told Kirsty about how an accident played a pivotal role in his love for music.You can listen to the full interview on BBC Sounds.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, actor Tom Pelphrey stops by the studio! Adam and Tom dive into Tom's early career, starting with soap operas, which Tom describes as a kind of boot camp for actors. The conversation shifts to his relationship with Kaley Cuoco and the massive success of The Big Bang Theory, with Adam pointing out the lack of hit three-camera sitcoms since. They also discuss the importance of turning off your phone, staying present, and finding purpose in productive work. Tom asks Adam about his tough upbringing and whether it contributed to his success, leading to a candid exchange about Adam's transition from radio to podcasting and the financial struggles of building his show in the early days.Later, singer, songwriter, and actress Debbie Gibson joins the studio to talk about her new book Eternally Electric: The Message in My Music. She reflects on the challenges of writing an autobiography at this stage in her career and the whirlwind of finding fame at such a young age. Debbie explains how she hustled her way into the music industry by performing in small clubs, the sacrifices she made to protect her artistic integrity, and the pressure she faced from record producers to change her style. She also opens up about how touring has evolved over the years, how fame affected her when she was young, and what it was like to meet her musical heroes, including Elton John, George Michael, Michael Jackson, and Whitney Houston.Get it on.FOR MORE TOM PELPHREY:TV SHOW: Task - September 7, 2025 on HBOINSTAGRAM: @tommypelphreyTWITTER: @tompelphreyFOR MORE WITH DEBBIE GIBSON: BOOK: Eternally Electric - Available Sept 9, 2025NEW SONG: Legendary TOUR: "Newstalgia Live Greatest Hits & Beyond"INSTAGRAM: @debbiegibson Thank you for supporting our sponsors:Get $10 Off at BRUNT with code ADAM at https://www.bruntworkwear.com/ADAM #BruntpodHomes.comMASAChips.com/CAROLLAoreillyauto.com/ADAMSIMPLISAFE.COM/ADAMPluto.tvLIVE SHOWS: September 6 - Charlotte, NCSeptember 12-13 - El Paso, TX (4 Shows) See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
