The '90s were a strange time. From Gregorian chants to swing bands, you never knew what would make it onto the radio. But some of the strangest groups to improbably infiltrate the mainstream came from the post-Grateful Dead jam band scene. Our guest today is Mike Ayers, author of ⁠Sharing in the Groove: The Untold Story of the '90s Jam Band Explosion and the Scene that Followed. ⁠ The book, an oral history, is really a blast. It covers all the big players of the era: Phish, Blues Traveler, Spin Doctors, Widespread Panic, Dave Matthews Band, but Ayers takes it to the next level by expanding the definition of "jam band" to include Medeski, Martin and Wood, Greyboy and the acid jazz scene, New Orleans funk band Galactic, and John Zorn and the Knitting Factory downtown NYC scene, and much more. This episode, guest host (and Transmissions audio editor) Andrew Horton, Jason P. Woodbury, and Ayers sit down to hash out the era in which even Sonic Youth and Yo La Tengo embraced their jammiest free improv tendencies. What are the limits of the whole "jam band" thing really? Come along with us as we dig into Sharing in the Groove. Transmissions is created in partnership with the Talkhouse Podcast Network. We're brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Aquarium Drunkard⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an independent music media crew headed by Justin Gage.

Früher gab es eine Hand voll Menschen, die wirklich berühmt waren. Michael Jackson, die Beatles, Elvis, Madonna. Ob man sie mochte oder nicht: Alle kannten die Melodie von «Thriller», den Text von «Let it Be», den Groove von «Jailhouse Rock», den Refrain von «Like A Virgin».Das hatte etwas Verbindendes. Heute ist die Welt fragmentierter geworden. Und unser Musikhören digitaler, von Algorithmen getrieben. Klar, da gibt es eine Taylor Swift, die gerade alle Rekorde bricht. Oder The Weeknd, die den meistgestreamten Song aller Zeiten (fünf Milliarden!) gemacht haben.Sind sie die globalen Superstars, so, wie Jackson, Madonna, Elvis und Co. damals? Gibt es das heute überhaupt noch? Oder ist ihre Ära vorbei, zerstört vom Algorithmus?Diesen grossen Fragen ist Marco Maurer, Redaktor im Ressort Leben, in einem Essay nachgegangen. Zu welchem Schluss er dabei gekommen ist, erzählt er in einer neuen Folge des täglichen Podcasts «Apropos».Host: Philipp LoserProduzentin: Jacky WechslerDer Essay von Marco Maurer zum Nachlesen:Auch Taylor Swift ist kein Michael Jackson: Die Ära der Weltstars ist vorbei Unser Tagi-Spezialangebot für Podcast-Hörer:innen: tagiabo.chHabt ihr Feedback, Ideen oder Kritik zu «Apropos»?

Both old and new, Austin-based band Black Pumas is centered around guitarist and producer Adrian Quesada and 27-year-old songwriter Eric Burton. Grammy Award-winning Quesada has played in Grupo Fantasma and Brownout, and accompanied artists from Prince to Daniel Johnston. Burton grew up in church and then got heavily involved in musical theater. He arrived in Austin in 2015 after busking his way across the country from Los Angeles, and connected with Quesada on the phone. From idea to session to self-titled debut album, they've been making music that is neither retro nor derivative, with influences ranging from Sam Cooke to Neil Young and Ghostface Killah. Now a touring machine, Black Pumas brings their skillful combination of folky strum, sticky funk, dusty psych, and old soul to an in-studio session. (From the Archives, 2019.)Set list: 1. Colors 2. Black Moon Rising 3. Oct 33

Ryan, Brant and Ron Curry get into the groovy! . . . YOU DON'T KNOW MOJACK is a podcast dedicated to exploring the entire SST catalogue, in order, from start to finish.

First and foremost we are fans, and acknowledge that we are not perfect and don't know everything – sometimes the discussion is more about a time, place, feeling, personal experience or random tangents, and less about the facts (but we will try to get to the facts too).

In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with one of my musical heroes, David Garibaldi. We talk about what he's been up to since stepping away from Tower of Power, playing with Roger Smith's group, staying active with new projects, and continuing to practice every day. David describes the drums as an endless landscape, and hearing him talk about still learning and exploring after all these years is truly inspiring.David reflects on how imagination and curiosity remain at the center of great playing, even in a world overflowing with online content. The core never changes: you still have to follow what lights you up, spend time alone working through the “suck zone,” and develop your own voice.One of the most meaningful parts of our conversation is David's look back at his legendary partnership with Rocco Prestia. He talks about their immediate chemistry, their deep listening, and the intuitive way Rocco responded to the drum articulation and phrasing. His stories about Rocco's unorthodox technique and unmistakable feel are as insightful as they are moving.We also dive into the culture of Tower of Power, the constant rehearsing, the tight arrangements, the expectation that everyone listens, contributes, and functions as a team. David explains how “Tower 101” shaped new members musically and personally, and why the band sounded the way it did.David shares memories of his time in the Air Force Band, how concert percussion study helped shape his ear, and how returning to the Bay Area after his enlistment led him directly into the musical world that would define his career. He also talks about his current work as a teacher and his upcoming “living book” project with Hudson Music, which he'll continue adding to over time.This conversation was an absolute honor for me. David has influenced generations of drummers, myself included, and getting to hear his perspective firsthand was something I won't forget. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.Music from the Episode:What is Hip?
