Increasing severe weather and excessive rainfall threats over theCentral U.S. through early next week......Sweltering heat continues across South Florida and southern Texas,building into the southern High Plains this weekend...Stormy conditions should wind down across the central Gulf coast whilepersisting along a quasi-stationary boundary over Florida through Sunday.Attention shifts toward the Central U.S. on Sunday and into early nextweek as a deep mid-level low digs into the West. A surface low pressuresystem will bring heavy rain and thunderstorms to parts of the GreatPlains and Upper/Middle Mississippi Valley on Sunday. Despite theExcessive Rainfall threat being Marginal (at least 5%), the StormPrediction Center issued an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of SevereThunderstorms across portions of western and central Kansas on Sunday.Significant damaging gusts, large to very large hail, and a few tornadoesare all possible according to the SPC. A Slight Risk (level 2/5) of SevereThunderstorms is in effect for portions of Nebraska, Kansas, southwestIowa and northwest Missouri. Hail and strong wind gusts will be theprimary threats from these storms. Additionally, some light snow tomoderate snowfall is possible on the backside of this system in theNorthern Rockies over the next couple of days.Intense Summer-like heat will continue over portions of South Florida andsouthern Texas this weekend, and expand in coverage into portions of thesouthern High Plains. Forecast highs will be in the 90s for Florida withmid-90s to mid-100s in Texas, potentially record-tying/breaking levels.When combined with the humidity, heat indices will soar to near 110 inSouth Florida. While not quite as hot, temperatures will still be wellabove average more broadly across much of the country this weekend,particularly from the Central Plains into the Midwest where highs in the80s to near 90 will be common. Highs will also be above average forportions of the West, with 70s and 80s in the Great Basin/interiorCalifornia and 90s to low 100s in the Desert Southeast. More temperate,below average conditions are expected along much of the East Coast, with50s and 60s in New England and 60s and 70s into theMid-Atlantic/Carolinas. The Pacific Northwest/Northern Rockies will alsobe cooler, with highs in the 50s and 60s expected here as well. Variabletemperatures are forecast for the Southeast due to ongoing storms, withmainly 80s expected.

Heavy rain, flash flooding and severe weather threat associated with astrengthening storm system to continue this afternoon and tonight in theSoutheast......Powerful storm system to foster heavy rain and high wind potential overmuch of the eastern U.S. on Thursday; severe weather and flash floodthreats forecast in parts of the Southeast and upper Ohio Valley......High winds along with widespread moderate to heavy rain expected toimpact the entire Eastern Seaboard into the Great Lakes Thursday nightinto Friday; warming up in the West...The second half of the work-week features an impressive early-mid Aprilstorm system, currently tracking through the Deep South, that will headnortheast through the Lower Mississippi Valley this evening and head forboth the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys come Thursday morning. The centralGulf Coast is the focus for the most dangerous weather this afternoon andevening as organized thunderstorms track east through the region. TheStorm Prediction Center and Weather Prediction Center both issued ModerateRisks for severe storms and Excessive Rainfall respectively, implying thatnot only is flash flooding anticipated for parts of the central GulfCoast, but so are severe thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes,damaging wind gusts, and large hail. Meanwhile, periods of rain will becommon from the ArkLaTex and Ozarks this afternoon to the Ohio Valley andLower Great Lakes overnight.By Thursday morning this strengthening storm system will direct its shieldof rain north into the eastern Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic, then finallyinto the Northeast by Thursday afternoon. Numerous showers are also stillexpected in parts of the Lower Mississippi Valley and for much of the Ohioand Tennessee Valleys. In terms of severe weather the upper Ohio Valley ismost at-risk, as evident with an expansive Slight Risk area and a smallerEnhanced Risk area that is focused in eastern Ohio and western WestVirginia. Tornadoes and damaging winds are the primary modes of severeweather of greatest concern through Thursday afternoon. Farther south, thestorm's cold front will act as a trigger for severe storms from theMid-Atlantic on south to northern Florida. SPC has a Slight Risk thatstretches from southern South Carolina on south to the Tampa, FL metroarea. There is also the threat for Excessive Rainfall and resulting flashflooding from the Upper Ohio Valley on east through the northernMid-Atlantic. WPC has a large Slight Risk area in place for portions ofthese regions, with metro areas such as Pittsburgh, Washington D.C.,Baltimore, and Philadelphia all within the Slight Risk zone. In additionto the rain and thunderstorms, gusty winds will be felt across much of theeastern half of the U.S., especially in the central Appalachians and partsof the Southeast where Wind Advisories are in place for tomorrow. ByFriday, while the severe threat backs down, there is a Slight Risk forExcessive Rainfall in portions of northern New Hampshire and westernMaine. Gusty winds, as well as widespread showers are anticipated in theGreat Lakes and Mid-Atlantic during the day Friday.In the West, a tranquil weather pattern this afternoon and throughThursday along the West Coast will conclude as the next Pacific stormsystem delivers showers and mountain snow to the Pacific Northwest byThursday night. The storm system dive south along the West Coast and afrontal boundary will set up over the Northern Rockies. This will lead tohit-or-miss showers from the Sierra Nevada and Oregon Cascades on eastthrough most of the northern Rockies Friday afternoon. Temperature-wise,an expansive swath of unusually warm temperatures for mid-April will groweast from the West Coast and the

Heavy rain, flash flooding and severe weather threat will expand intothe central Gulf Coast States, Tennessee Valley and parts of the Southeaston Wednesday, reaching into the Midwest, Ohio Valley and the East Coast byThursday.Critical fire danger remains over the Texas Big Bend and Rio GrandeValley through this evening.A very active weather pattern is currently unfolding throughout much ofthe southern Plains and lower Mississippi Valley as numerous showers andthunderstorms impact the region, with several modes of hazardous weatherpossible. Ample atmospheric moisture content, nearby frontal boundaries,and a supportive upper level environment are expected to continue thethreat of severe weather and flash flooding over the next few days.Through tonight, the bulk of the impactful weather is forecast to remainacross the southern Plains and lower Mississippi Valley, where manylocations have already been dealing with soaking rain and intensethunderstorms over the last 12 hours or so. With more heavy rain on theway, numerous instances of flash flooding are likely overnight fromeast-central Texas to parts of western Mississippi. A Moderate Risk (level3/4) of Excessive Rainfall remains in effect, as well as Flood Watchesextending from Texas to Alabama. Additionally, thunderstorms will becapable of producing a few tornadoes, large to very large hail, and severewind gusts.The disruptive weather is anticipated to expand eastward on Wednesdaythroughout the central Gulf Coast States, Tennessee Valley, and Southeast.Multiple rounds of strong thunderstorms could dump around 2 to 4 inches ofrainfall over a relatively short time period from northeast Louisiana tosouthwest Georgia and the Florida Panhandle. This has prompted theModerate Risk of Excessive Rainfall to be extended into these regions onWednesday. A Moderate Risk (level 4/5) for severe thunderstorms alsoexists on Wednesday from east-central Louisiana to southwest Mississippi,where the potential exists for several tornadoes (a few of which could bestrong), and widespread damaging wind gusts. Residents and visitors areadvised to have multiple ways to receive warnings and never drive throughflooded roadways.This storm system is forecast to become better organized by the latterpart of Wednesday and continue on a northeastward progression over thelower Great Lakes by Thursday night. Showers and thunderstorms will shiftinto the Ohio Valley, Southeast, and Mid-Atlantic, but should become moreprogressive in nature. The greatest threat for damaging wind gustsassociated with strong thunderstorms on Thursday extends from theCarolinas to northern Florida, as well as the Ohio Valley. Heavy rain mayalso lead to scattered instances of flash flooding from thesouthern/central Appalachians to the northern Mid-Atlantic. Lastly, strongsoutherly flow along the East Coast could lead to gusty winds and coastalhazards from the Southeast to the Mid-Atlantic on Thursday.Mostly tranquil weather is forecast elsewhere throughout the Nation asupper ridging builds over the Intermountain West. Rain and snow showersare expected to swing from the Northwest to the northern High Plainstonight as a frontal system quickly moves east and over the northernPlains on Wednesday. Otherwise, gusty winds and low relative humidity willcontinue to create Critical Fire Weather over the Texas Big Bend and RioGrande Valley into tonight, with Elevated Fire Weather continuing intoWednesday.

Heavy Weather affects PNW Mariners and Beachgoers This Week Today, a look at this week's heavy weather, and the myriad hazards we'll see on beaches and area waterways. It's a good week to stay away from beaches, and go to high-up headlands to storm watch. But be advised, winds will be gusting to 70 mph. Big seas close to 30 feet will affect ship traffic, and make sea conditions hazardous for all vessels.

't say enough things about Stuart Copeland.Yeah, he's amazing. But I'll also listen to Alan White of Yes, who was fantastic. and of course, you know, Neil Peart, Bob Rush.That's a pretty good pedigree.Well, you try and take a little bit from each guy, you know, you don't want to be a lab rat. You don't want to copy them.You want to just take all the little things you like the right hand from this guy, this snare drum from that guy, the bass drum.And of course, the great I saw him the other day, the Manu Katché, Peter Gabriel's drummer, who is the Picasso on the drums. He has hands down, Art Picasso on drums.High praise. Dan?Yeah, so yeah, those are your sort of past influences. But who do you enjoy listening to now? Who does it for you now?Well, it's really funny because what's on my turntable right now is Heavy Weather by.[25:12] Weather Report and I'm listening to Jaco Pastorius.I'm trying to get as much of him into me because he was the guy really, you know. You hear Geddy Lee talk about him, you hear.So I'm listening to a lot of bass players these days and loving it.So that's what's going on.[25:36] I gotta I gotta ask you, just because you mentioned synchronicity, this is just a this is just a note.And if you didn't know it, then I think we brought it up with Paul.But do you know that that record had 33 different covers?[25:53] I did, yes I did. I didn't know that I thought it had.I thought it had. Well, I guess it would because each guy was sort of on one of the strips and it changed.But I didn't know there were 33. 32 or 33. But yeah, it was when I found and some some versions are rarer than others. But that record is.And that song Mother is just nuts. And isn't Stewart Copeland singing that song?No, that song is Andy Summers, and I heard a story, they did part of it in the Moran Heights in Montreal and the engineer asked Hugh if he could bump himself off a cassette in the day.In those days there was no internet so it was cool. The engineers usually got to be able to do that.Here's a record I'm working on, just happens to be with the police.And he asked Hugh Padgham if he could leave that song off.A lot of people hated it. It's a hard song to listen to if you're not into the record. You know, what went into the trash bin was I Burned For You, that was slated to go on that record.And think about how that would have, you know, from Sting's soundtrack work, would have changed that record. Totally.[27:22] I'm a little curious of then and now also, when you first started playing drums, I raised a drummer.I have a 21 year old who plays drums.Awesome. Actually, yeah, the past year or so he's been out of the country and he's been more focused on DJing, techno of all things.But he's, you know, can hear kind of a drummer influence. But anyways, you know, we got him on hand drums early and drum lessons early.And I lived through, you know, a drum set in the basement.Just anywhere you went in my house, you had to go outside or take a call.It was just, you know, what was it like for you in your early years playing drums? Like what pushed you over to the drum set or being interested in it? And...Conversely, do you still play now? Do you still have access to a drum set or a drum set at home?[28:13] Great questions. Number one, my brothers had a friend who had a drum set and they said to me, they went and got the snare drum and they said, we'll get you the snare drum.And after a year, if you're still playing, we'll go get the rest of the drum kit.And I'm still playing. And so they Then I had an eye injury, which for three weeks I had both eyes sort of closed off with cotton batting.And it was a really weird, weird accident.I still, when I'm explaining it to people, my dad was on the phone.He was a pediatric cardiologist and he was talking to the hospital and we were at a friend's house.And it had this jar of erasers and pens and pencils and elastics and he was talking and I remember he had his hand on my head like that and I grabbed an elastic band and a pen, and I shotthe pen into my eye and yeah it was very bizarre I thought it was shooting at the other end so it went right in and I remember my dad saying to my mom don't touch it leave it leave it andshe was trying to pull it out and so I went in and my sense of hearing was heightened.[29:33] I could hear my dad walk down the hall after he had his morning rounds.I could hear the cadence of his footstep and so you know for that three weeks where I was unable to see, it just kicked that.At about seven years old into a different gear for me. I started hearing rhythm everywhere.As you do with your indicator of your car, to industrial sounds, trucks backing up. I can put a rhythm into it.Like your son, his, like you're saying about drumming, and now he's DJing, his internal clock is always going as a drummer because that's where it started. Absolutely.Yeah. So it's the same. Drummers are that way. You just pick those things up.And then second question. No, I'm not playing. I'm kind of doing what your son is doing with drum machines.But I have two drummers in the house, two nine-year-old boys.[30:29] And one is a lefty. And I would set a kit up for him and then my other son, Finn, and then I would forget about Willie.And then, so I just said, well, I'm going to set it up on the left for you because he has a great acoustic kit, a set of Gretsch 1960s.And now I play left because I'm not the drummer that I'm not, you know, I'm not that drummer anymore. So now I'm discovering all kinds of new things about playing on the left side, andleft-handed drummers I find are way more creative.It's funny you mentioned that because we often notice when I've gone to shows with my son, we'll just say immediately that guy's left-handed.You just see it like that. That's very cool.Ringo was left-handed, they say, and that's why no one could ever duplicate the way he got around the kit.Yeah. His left hand pushed his right hand, I think.Phil Collins, Ian Pace, they're not good drummers.They're incredible drummers. Those two guys for me, Ian Pace and Phil Collins.Phil Collins, the stuff that I listened to today, and I'm like, how is he doing that?How is he doing that? He was incredible.He really was. He is incredible.[31:48] Johnny, you've been hard at work on the Phantom Power reissue, the box set, the amazing box set.I got it last week, and it was so fun to open and just touch the vinyl, and the book that's inside is really wonderful.I'm just, I'm so curious what a project like that.[32:17] Entails like from a from a time perspective. And I know you guys are hard at work on another one for next year.Like, when does that begin? And what does that process even look like?Like, is it just climbing Everest or what?It's really fun. It's really great therapy for us.You know, we get to talk about the past and if one guy doesn't remember it, someone else will.We have weekly calls and it's fun.We didn't do any therapy after Gord passed away and we really should have.We have just all kind of dealt with things and I think really right now that this is our therapy.I'm in Toronto, so that's where the tapes are. I'm very happy to do it and we're digitizing things and Phantom Power was a different one because it was in different formats.It was on D88, little digital tapes.[33:11] DAT machines were around and kicking at that time.We also had our 2-inch machine and then Pro Tools, the dreaded Pro Tools was coming in.Well, you didn't have to make a decision and you could have a hundred tracks on something and and I was like the you know There was such economy when we were going to tape andAnd I really liked that.So, you know, if you look at the early records, we're still I, Think there's the most that we used was 18 tracks You know Don Smith would consolidate things and that was really a goldenperiod So, it's not as daunting as you think, it's been fun, it's been fun, it's been a discovery.[34:00] You know, to listen to some of those tracks and hear Gord Downie speaking in between takes is really these beautiful moments.So yeah, it's been a lot of fun.Robbie is in charge of the box set, putting it all together.So he's doing all of that stuff.And you know, Gord and Paul are very involved in it. But they have solo careers too.So, um, you know, uh, but we are, we're all together on this.Uh, it's not me, uh, just doing, um, the tape stuff there. They're involved in it too. Very cool.Yeah. I mean, I was going to ask in terms of the project from the offset, uh, you know, when you're going through the tapes and covering all of these tracks and these, these different takesof the tracks that you have, what, what shape, you know, with those tracks in, did they require a lot of work to get them up to spec, or was there anything that was kind of left off that was,you regard as pretty good, but it was still a bit too rough around the edges to include?[35:04] Well, if we did any editing back in the day, if it was tape, we would do chunk editing.We would take the ending of one, with the hip, we would play a tune, it'd be great, be great and we would get close to the end and then we'd anticipate the ending and I'd make the otherguy speed up so we get to it and then our producer would say well the ending of this one's good so let's take the last four bars so there we go there's the track.So they were in pretty good shape you know the tape that we got was really forgiving.The crazy thing is I heard about the Rolling Stones going back and doing stuff that they did in the early 60s.And the early 60s tape actually lasted better than the stuff they made in the 80s.They had to do very little to get them back into shape, which is cool.You got to bake them in what essentially is an easy bake oven for tapes at a low temperature and it just sucks all the humidity out.And so record companies are obviously very well prepared to do all that sort of stuff and then it's just digitizing them.But when you first have a go through the tape after it's been baked and it's coming off the head and going through a board at the studio, it never sounds better.You know and they shoot it over to Pro Tools and they say now we have it We've have it and I always say well it sounded better a few minutes ago when it was going through the machineand so, Yeah Tape is king.We lived in the Golden Age. We really did in the in the 80s and 90s When you when you still were spinning tape.[40:59] So I imagined with coming across tapes, you guys did so much work, you know, in the recording process that I imagined it was just so fun to go through. It has been.It was, you know, but, you know, talk about Bob Cajun being an example.We only really have two versions of that.[41:23] And Gord Sinclair and I had a conference and we were like, well, we can play that again and we can play it better. And we were like, yeah, let's do it.And so the version you hear is the demo version, really.It's just we said we would go back and address it later. I think we went on tour and then it was Steve Berlin listening to it, which was really cool because he he recognized you can't beatyour demo.And that's what bands try and do.And he was so smart with it. And he said, I'll let you play it again.But you're not going to beat this. It's just there's a vibe there.And Gordon and I were like, we're going to beat it. We're going to do it. And we never did.And so I always loved that, that he did that because as a producer, I wouldn't have done that.And I would have screwed it up if I was producing that record.And he had the brainpower and the knowledge and he'd made so many great records before that he just, he let us play it, but we never beat it.It's our biggest song, too. Well, we were talking before, I absolutely love that song.That song is the soundtrack of this past summer for my wife and I.You jammed it down her throat. Oh, yeah. She drank the Kool-Aid, man.Let me tell you. She sure did.I've tried. We're getting there.[42:46] That's the pocket of that song, in my opinion, and this is my opinion, and if Robbie was here, I'd maybe change it just to be sweet to him, but it's you and Gord.It's just that the pocket's so tight with that.But you said something earlier about tape, and I want to just touch on it real quick because you were talking about how they have Pro Tools and this and that, and how you would havemade a different decision with Bob Cajun.But we cut a record in this last March, our band, we did our second record.And the engineer was using Cubase, which is just another version of Pro Tools or whatever.You've got a million, you can do a million tracks. But like he was like, no, you're going to do this many. And I'm like, no, I don't like that.He's like, nope, that's it.Yeah, because you get to a point to where you could just you just go crazy.And you could do 25, 30 tracks, you know, on one take or 25, 30 takes.And it's just it's stupid at that point.You've got to appreciate the moment that it is, you know, whether it's, you know, you're never better than your demo, like you said. You know? Yeah.And and I don't know, I guess.[44:01] There was, and not to get off the topic of, of, of, of Phantom Power, but for me, and I know we all had this, this reaction.We felt like I felt like In Between Evolution was the Johnny Faye record.[44:17] Really? Yeah, and there's... I don't remember that record, really.Well, yeah, there's a specific thing. That's crazy because there there's at the end of certain songs, there's little, you know, hi-hat touch, there's a rimshot, there's just little sprinkles of youthat is the last sound you hear on multiple tracks and or, or the beginning of a track.And I'm like, I wonder if there's something to this, but they must have just been the take that you guys did and it's taking up, maybe so.That was confusing record.Well, it's interesting about the tape to dress the tape thing.Yeah. And you have limitations. You got to make decisions.Uh, and you know, and I didn't say that I read Keith Richard's book and he was like, give me eight tracks and I'll write you a hit.And, you know, when they went to 16, he was like, man, okay, but I can still do it. Nay. And it's true.Um, you know, that, that the a hundred guitar tracks or whatever, the layering and, and, uh, it's just, you know, it goes, just lets up on records, John Bonham.I worked with a guy named Terry Manning and he had, John Bonham got very upset with him because Terry Manning said to me, I was the guy who put the third microphone on thedrums, he didn't like that, he only wanted two.[45:36] Only wanted two. So yeah, Inbetween Evolution was, we worked with Adam Casper, he was fantastic, obviously he's a guy who worked with Pearl Jam and we were very chuffedabout working for him, with him.And we seemed to move around studios a lot.For me that was a little bit confusing, so I never knew what we really had in the can.And it was in Seattle, where I love. I absolutely love Seattle.And so that was cool to be there. But yeah, I don't sort of...It's just a record that's easy to associate with you.And I think at that time too, we were looking at videos. I remember talking about this video I saw of you.You were so in the friggin zone playing live.You broke a cymbal and somebody just came like middle of the song.You just kept going along, replace cymbal.That would be Mike Cormier. He was my drum check and he was amazing.He could tell when they were broken. He sort of mid-song and he'd say, should I wait for the end of the song? I was like, no, just get rid of it.[46:44] Yeah, you know, we're going through something now where we're going back even further and with Up To Here.And a question was asked earlier about is there some songs that were left off?And there was a song that was left off, Up To Here, and it's called Wait So Long. and it was a really, really special song.Our producer and his manager and some people at the record company really thought that that was the lead track.[47:15] It ended up being Blow It High Dough, I believe.Or New Orleans is sinking. But Wait So Long is a great track, and that will come out next year.Oh, that's exciting. We have a mix of it and everything from Don Smith, so that's fully intact.So when we looked through the tapes and thought, oh, what do we need to remix?There was that one, you know, the lettering. It was like, okay, we got that one.So that'll be great to get out.You know, hear what people think about that. So one of our go ahead, Judy.So I have an ammo system set up at home. So I've been listening to the mix and Dolby Atmos.And I'm just curious about how that works when you're when you're doing a mix of that because there are instrumentations and sounds that I've never heard in those songs before.And now all of a sudden, they're they're shooting over my head.And it's, it's really fucking tremendous. It's a great way to experience music.But I just wonder what it's like.Do you have a mixer that just takes care of that?Because I noticed there was there's three writing credits for mixers on the Yeah, on the album.So I'm just curious if one is just for Dolby Atmos, sir.Yeah, well, we had a guy in the first couple, I think he did Road Apples.[48:43] And his name is Rich Chicky, and you might know him because he's done all the Rush stuff.He's like the Rush in-house guy for Atmos.Since then, we've had our key engineer, Mark Braykin, has been doing the Atmos stuff because he built an Atmos room.[49:00] You're right on this one. Phantom Power has a lot of stuff. I was sitting in the back of the room when they were mixing that and it's like there's some backwards guitars and somestuff that just goes out and it makes sense.I'm not gonna lie, I'm not the hugest fan of, I get it, you know, let's send the hi-hat into outer space, changes the groove, changes the groove for a five-piece band, we're not gonna lie.[49:29] On an album like Road Apples, which Rich did, and he did a great job.I just don't get it. On Phantom Power, which would be the closest thing that we would ever have to Dark Side of the Moon, I get it.You sit in the back of the room and hear the backwards guitar or stuff swirling around. It's cool.But I know people want this in their headphones, but I guess I'm a little bit like Monomix guy.I don't mind that either. I love it. I love that. Yeah.Dan? I'm with you, Joni.[50:04] Coming back to the other aspect of the box set, which is the live recordings, I mean, what criteria do you sort of use for selecting the live recording?I mean, out of the three that have been, you know, re-released.[50:18] Obviously one was the Horseshoe, but the other two have been from, like, American venues.Would you perhaps, like, choose the American gigs because they might be lesser known to a predominant Canadian audience?Or, I don't know, how do you choose? We pick a gig that has fewer clams in it and less mistakes.We just kind of really, we really do.We did a live record called Live Between, it was way back in the day, and we argued about this.We had really sort of a good old fashioned fight about it.And Gord Downie wanted one from this place called the 40 Walk Club, which we'd listened to and it was a great, great version.It was a great night.And it's where REM, I think, got their start.And so we were sort of between that and another couple.[51:12] And then we ended up picking Detroit because it sounded good.Um, I think that's kind of what we go on when we're, we're picking these, um, these live, uh, albums and Gord Sinclair's son, um, is the one who really goes through them and says, there'ssomething here.He knows the hip really well. And so he really kind of directs us.So there's so many tapes out there. Um, and so he, he sort of says this one, um, from, uh, Chicago second night, a house of blues.This, this one's got something there. And so Colin Sinclair is really in charge of that.I don't think any other guy in the hip can take credit for it.[51:52] Can I just ask as well then, so what percentage of hip shows do you think were actually recorded, you know, documented?[52:00] It would depend on the period. One tour we went out with D88 machines, other eras we let people tape, like Fish Show or Grapevold Head, we would set up a little area where theycould get stuff off the board.That was cool. And there were some remote stuff, not a ton of 24-track, tape stuff. We would do stuff for Westwood One.Most of this stuff is going to be in-house, or a record company generated through a live truck, Usually in LA or New York, we have one coming up from a show we did in the States forRecord Day next year.Not a ton. There's not a ton. Two scoops in this session. That's great.That are coming out?[53:05] You mentioned Zeppelin too. I was going to ask you about Hedley Grange, but I forgot what I was going to say. You know where Bonham did that thing with the, for, for, um.[53:16] When the levee breaks, you know, yeah, they put the mics up on the stairs. God, that's so cool.But, but no, that was Jimmy. That was Jimmy Page. That was Jimmy Page doing that.He engineered page based on that. That's that's such a it's such a I mean, never in in history. Can anybody recreate that sound? I mean, it's just so cool.No, the sound of like a double bass almost, but people people don't understand that there's the economy of it.If you worked with one of These older guys, I always say that Don Smith was like Rudy Van Gelder, he got it.He knew, he kept on coming into the studio, back in the control room.He would make the live room, the studio sound, the control room sound like the live room. And he was constantly tweaking like that.[54:02] The guitar, if you listen to the Zeppelin, it's all the stuff that's implied in the chords I think.The drums are what everything is hanging off of. The guitars are really quite small, you know, you know, there's these these bands that came out in the 80s that were trying to be likeZeppelin, use 24 microphones on the drums.It sounded horrible, you know, and for John Bonham, it was just the way he played. He was really good.Incredible jazz sensibilities, an incredible groove. And he was able to move, you know, all four of those guys were spectacular.We went on the road with them. We went on the road with them, Paige and Plant, through the States, and it was incredible.[54:49] Yeah. Never a nicer, never a nicer guy than Robert Plant. He was so, so nice.Oh, yeah. That's that's, that's, that's amazing.Yeah, I'm a huge, I'm a huge Zep fan. But I just got to ask you real quick about the song Fireworks.Is there, there's got to be some Rush influence in that. I just hear so much like spirit of the radio in that tune.It's just such a, I think that when that song, when we heard that song on this record, Tim and I both, I was like, that was for our first favorite song on this record. Oh, that's sweet.[55:26] Don Smith's mix on the box set is really interesting.Because for Phantom Power, where we mixed it three different times.Yeah, I mean, Neil, I got to meet him a couple of times.He was obviously a huge influence and I would say, yeah, yeah.I went trick or treating as him one year. I crank called him.[55:50] Oh my gosh, amazing. Love Rush, man, love Rush.J.D. be mindful of the of the clock too on the thing. You're on mute.Yeah, we can't hear you, J.D.Oh, sorry about that, guys. I was just going to say we've got a minute 45 left of this session before it cancels out.So, Tim, if you've got a quick one and then we'll bid adieu.Well, I just had one of our pod listeners asked about Bumblebee and basically was like, why didn't this make the album?You know, this it could fit in there so well. So just a quick comment on that.And yeah, yeah, that was one that was that was on on the list.And I think it just, we just sort of Gord Sinclair was putting the sequences together for that.And it just for us, there was just something maybe missing. It's really great.[56:46] And I love the line when the moon's a water balloon.It just is so great. That's so Gord. You know, yeah.And I look at every time I look up at a supermoon and it looks like a water balloon. I think it's very cool.Well, it made the box set. So that's, yeah, that's important.Yeah. Well, Johnny, we really want to thank you so much for your time.It means a lot. And thank you gents for, for all your promotion to the hip. Our pleasure.Keep ramming, keep ramming it.Hopefully not your family. They love it too. It happens.Track

Gisborne appears to have escaped any serious damage from the wild holiday-weekend weather - but the region remains in a precarious state in the wake of cyclone Gabrielle. According to Gisborne mayor, Rehette Stoltz, roading and water remain the most critical issues. Even this weekend's relatively light weather hit exposed again the problem of slash damage.  She spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

In this episode we celebrate the incredible musical legacy of saxophonist, composer and bandleader Wayne Shorter, born August 25, 1933 in Newark New Jersey and passed away March 2, 2023. My special guest is Alex Acuña, a prolific drummer, percussionist, composer, and bandleader who has amassed more 900 recording credits. (its probably more now) After touring with Perez Prado during the 1960s and playing with Elvis Presley in Las Vegas in the early '70s -  In 1974, Acuña and his family moved to Las Vegas. He continued working with Prado's show band, and played for Elvis Presley's Las Vegas residencies in addition to serving in backing bands and orchestras for Olivia Newton John and the Temptations. Drummer/percussionist Don Alias heard him with the latter and suggested he try playing jazz. Alias arranged an audition with Weather Report and Acuña joined that band for their 1975 tour. He moved to Los Angeles and played on the band's two most successful studio outings, Black Market and Heavy Weather, and he toured with the group until 1978. During his tenure, Weather Report backed Joni Mitchell on Don Juan's Reckless Daughter. He has been a recording and touring sideman to a dazzling array of artists ranging from Paul McCartney and Joni Mitchell to Andre Crouch and Blondie.The stellar & diverse list of artists Alex has worked with seems never ending, the word prolific is an understatement. Wayne Shorter was a saxophonist, bandleader and composer. His compositions became jazz standards and he received worldwide recognition and critical praise.  Wayne Shorter won 12 Grammy Awards. His mastery of the soprano saxophone earned him (beginning in 1970) Down Beat's annual poll-winner on that instrument… winning the critics' poll for 10 consecutive years and the readers' poll for 18 years.  The New York Times music critic Ben Ratliff described Shorter in 2008 as "probably jazz's greatest living small-group composer and a contender for greatest living improviser". Via Wayne Shorter, We Love You! Source: https://drummerworld.com/drummers/Alex_Acuna.htmlSource: https://www.allaboutjazz.com/musicians/alex-acuna/Host Maggie LePique, a radio veteran since the 1980's at NPR in Kansas City Mo.

Who is Bill Small?Bill Small is no stranger to diversifying his skills; he's made his living as a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, Mystiquero, entrepreneur, artist, producer, vocal coach, business and personal coach... all facets that combine into a potent musical force evident on his latest release, Call Me Lucky.Bill grew up in a musical household where everyone could sing, just a stone's throw from the Big Apple. From Sinatra and swing to show-tunes. Todd Rundgren to Pink Floyd. Growing up in the 70's with FM radio and 2 older sisters to steal records from, he caught the music bug bad. Part of his teen years were spent learning everything he could about theater while working as a student performer and intern at The Whole Theater Company in Montclair, NJ. When he wasn't doing that he was writing songs and.....you guessed it, playing in bands! Bill moved around some during high school with his family, and then on his own after graduation, and always found a band to play music with. Playing in bands has been a constant for most of his life. After 2 years studying voice at at Berklee College of Music in Boston, and another couple of years living in Jersey and working in New York City, he decided to make a change. His family had lived in a magical place called Austin, TX before he was born, and when he was very young, they used to take family vacations to Texas. He had been hearing about all the great music there and of course, being in his "Guitar Slinger" phase, the lure of Stevie Ray was too hard to resist. Bill moved to Austin along with two great friends and fine musicians from Jersey, and they found themselves performing all over Austin in the early nineties as Heavy Weather.More bands came and went in the nineties (Radio Thieves, Stringbones), and a solo record entitled Singin. There was a move back to Boston, then to Nashville, a divorce and then finally a move back to Austin in 2004. As Bill puts it, fate intervened for his longest running band gig to date. “I got a call from my friend Marcus Eldridge, another old friend from Texas who had recently returned from Nashville. He was having lunch with my friend John Greenberg, and Walt Wilkins. I heard Walt in Nashville and we met once briefly, and I was a big fan of his music. Walt needed a band for a gig at Gruene Hall and John was kind enough to remind him that I played the bass. So the Mystiqueros were born on stage at Gruene Hall in the spring of 2006. Best band I've ever worked with. Period.”Since then, there's been more records produced and or engineered, lots of miles, lots of shows, and lots more to come. Call Me Lucky is Bill's latest solo offering...a soulful and thoughtful album full of plenty of stomp and groove. Coupled with Bill's unmistakable vocal style, it makes for a journey just as entertaining as his life story.

Esta semana, inauguramos una nueva temporada de Rebelión Sónica, tributando al recientemente fallecido saxofonista y compositor estadounidense Wayne Shorter, con tres momentos de su prolífico catálogo. Figura central de la historia del jazz y la música instrumental contemporánea, Shorter falleció a los 89 años el 02 de marzo pasado, dejando una obra que se remonta a fines de la década 50 en The Jazz Messengers, para luego integrar el célebre Segundo Gran Quinteto de Miles Davis, con los que grabó algunos de los discos cruciales del jazz de todos los tiempos. En paralelo, iba grabando su obra como titular, con álbumes de la importancia de “Speak No Evil”, Juju” y “Super Nova”, solo por nombrar unos pocos, para luego profundizar en la música fusión contemporánea en un grupo fundamental: Weather Report. En este primer capítulo de Rebelión Sónica temporada 2023, lo escucharemos con material aparecido en tres discos de su extensa obra: su álbum solista “Speak No Evil”, grabado en 1964, pero editado por Blue Note en 1966, su colaboración con el cantante brasilero Milton Nascimento “Native Dancer” de 1975 y con “Heavy Weather”, el LP de 1977 de Weather Report.

Weather Report is the preeminent jazz fusion supergroup of the 1970s, but what happens when one of the most talented bass players of all time joins the band and starts composing? The fellas discuss musical forward-thinking into the regrettable 1980s, playing the bass like it was a horn section, and the evolution of the "fusion" genre.

Heavy rain and strong winds are lashing most of the South Island, with at least one road closed because of the avalanche risk. Overnight, 113 millilitres of rain fell at Milford Sound Airport. MetService has issued an orange warning for heavy rain and severe gales for most of the South Island as an active Northwesterly front moves its way up the South Island. Heavy rain is falling on the West Coast, and in the Canterbury High Country. Environment Canterbury is warning that could "test the still vulnerable flood protection works in the upper reaches" of the Ashburton River which burst its banks last year. A Civil Defence emergency operations centre was set up by the Ashburton District Council yesterday as a precaution. Waka Kotahi's Tresca Forrester spoke to Corin Dann.

Check it out to hear an eclectic mix from artists including the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Beatles, Crowded House, White Stripes, Zeppelin, Bob Dylan and Garbage.

Also happening today, Tuesday night's storms left thousands without power and caused numerous tree limbs and power lines to come down; no injuries were reported after a private helicopter crashed in Prospect Heights Wednesday morning; and much more.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Federated Farmers President David Clark said floodwaters in Canterbury have exceeded warnings "by a huge magnitude" and multiple rescue operations are taking place.One person is awaiting rescue by helicopter to get out of a flooded area as torrential rain hits Canterbury."It's a really serious situation here in Canterbury, the rivers are breaking in multiple places," he said.Clark has been helping with rescues, including a car that has been swept out in the floods at 4.30am where fire and emergency crews couldn't get to, and a farmer being trapped in a tractor by the floodwaters."Key message from Federated Farmers today is that safety is paramount, don't put your own life in danger," he said."We've seen multiple rescues, with machinery having to go out in deep floodwaters to rescue people."Police were called to assist a fire crew in a rescue emergency on Walkhams Rd at 8am this morning, a police spokeswoman said."It appears one person needs assistance to get out of a flooded area," she said."No injuries, they're just awaiting rescue at the moment. A helicopter has been called."A storm chaser at Canterbury Snow and Weather Watch is expecting multiple rivers to burst their banks today after the worst weather he has seen in a decade.The region is being lashed by torrential rain, causing widespread flooding and road closures, including the stretch from Springfield to Castle Hill on SH73, the main route to the west coast."We're hearing that a lot of the rivers on the Canterbury Plains, which people live very close to and normally run dry, are running at the highest levels on record," Josh Oliver said."People are pretty concerned. Yesterday people were a bit complacent about this event, we tried to warn people and it's now coming into fruition."Flooding of the Avon River in Christchurch. Photo / Hamish ClarkOliver said this was a "once in a lifetime event", it had been pouring for the past 24 hours, and there was still about 30 hours of the warning period to go."We've just heard that Mount Somers has already hit 300mm, which was the upper level of what the warning was for ... we're well on task to hit 600mm, which in New Zealand is almost unheard of, let alone in Canterbury."Oliver, who is based in Springfield, said he was out this morning and had seen surface flooding and atrocious driving conditions."People really shouldn't be out unless they absolutely have to," he said."I normally don't get worried about a weather event, I more enjoy the thrill of going out and chasing it, but this one has gotten me worried.He said the Heathcote River burst its banks in Christchurch last night "and it's only going to get worse from here"."Multiple rivers would burst its banks this afternoon I would say."Other parts of the country can expect thunderstorms as a complex low settles over New Zealand.For only the second time ever, MetService issued a rare red warning for heavy rain for Canterbury, south of Amberley. That warning will be valid until Monday at 11am.Civil Defence Emergency Management Canterbury is warning people to stay away from floodwaters and turn off electricity to avoid short circuits if water enters the home."Move livestock to paddocks that allow them to move away from floodwaters, are not at risk from landslides and are not close to power lines," it said."Check on neighbours and help anyone who might need assistance."Christchurch residents were warned the deluge would most likely reach dangerous levels, and there were reports some streets were already water-logged.This morning at 5.48am however, MetService has lifted road snowfall warnings at Arthur's Pass and Lewis Pass.Slips have also closed roads overnight.Tiniroto Rd in Gisborne was closed because of a large slip and will remain closed until contractors reassess the situation this morning.Motorists are being advised to use an alternate route between Gisborne and Wairoa, such as SH2.The stretch from Springfield to Castle Hill on SH73 also...

Together with American Songwriter, we had the pleasure of interviewing The Rubens over Zoom video!  Ivy League Records are thrilled to release 0202 – the exceptional fourth album by local legends, The Rubens! Loaded with effortless jams like ‘Live In Life’ (double Platinum, ARIA Song of the Year nominee & the fourth biggest Australian song of 2020 (ARIA)), ‘Time Of My Life’, ‘Heavy Weather’ & current single ‘Masterpiece’, with 0202 the band have fully transformed into an alt-rock/pop powerhouse and, for the first time, have self-produced an album that will have people re-evaluating what they thought they knew about The Rubens. By the time album opener and absolute belter ‘Masterpiece’ comes to an end, it becomes very clear that The Rubens have emerged inspired from all the twists and turns thrown at them in 2020 and injected a new energy into this incredible record. 0202, a forward thinking album for a backward year, sees The Rubens creating a sound that effortlessly dances across genres – alt-rock, rnb, pop and hip hop all collide into something uniquely their own. The band unexpectedly found themselves self-producing what would become their most “pop” sounding album so far, recording everything together in their friend’s Camden-based studio, a converted WWII communications building, simply known as The Bunker, with bass player Will Zeglis taking on the role of engineer. Together they built each track up, starting with drummer Scott Baldwin’s beats, piecing the whole thing together part by part. When they felt like they’d taken a song as far as they could on their own, they would send it on to one of three producers – Kon Kersting, Rob Amoruso or Eric J – depending on what the song needed and who they thought would be best suited to the track, to add extra production and mix the track. 0202 follows third album LO LA RU, which featured hits ‘Never Ever (feat Sarah)’ (Double Platinum), ‘Million Man’ (Certified Gold), ‘God Forgot’ (Certified Gold) and lead to sold out shows and a 42-date Arena tour supporting megastar P!NK. Their second album Hoops saw the band sell out headline shows at" Pavilion and Margaret Court Arena and included hits ‘Hallelujah’, ‘Cut Me Loose’ and of course the 4 x Platinum the hit title track, which topped the 2015 triple j Hottest 100, while their debut self-titled LP was home to ‘My Gun’ (Certified Platinum), ‘Lay It Down’ (Certified Gold), ‘The Best We Got’ and more fan-favourites. The Rubens are currently half way through their regional NSW album launch shows, and will kick off their official 0202 album tour from April – July, playing metro cities as well as regional venues across their biggest headline tour to date.

Today I’m joined by composer David Hirschfelder (Australia, Strictly Ballroom, Sliding Doors) to take the show’s first cautious steps into the world of jazz fusion, with Weather Report’s 1977 classic ‘Heavy Weather’. After a brief discussion of David’s majestic 80s mullet, we dive into all of it - fusing electronic sounds and rock attitude into celebrations of trad jazz, the surprising hit status of ‘Birdland’, how it inspired David to fuse electronic and acoustic sounds and influenced his scores for films like ‘Strictly Ballroom’, how the album has dated in a positive way, seeing the band live in their heyday and the genius of bass legend Jaco Pastorius.

In this episode, Janine and I banter about how volcanoes can impact climate. We'll talk about what comes out of volcanoes during big volcanic eruption, the role of aerosols like sulfur dioxide have on the atmosphere. Then we tackle the impact of some large volcanic eruptions on global temperatures. We wrap up with why volcanoes are not the cause of current climate change.

SPEAKERS Mark Coleman Mindfulness Meditation Teacher; Author, Awake in the Wild Mica Estrada Associate Professor, Institute for Health and Aging at UC San Francisco's School of Nursing Greg Dalton Founder and Host, Climate One This program was recorded in front of a live audience at The Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco on September 5th, 2019.

Can we still find happiness in our daily lives without ignoring the dark reality of climate chaos? Author and meditation teacher Mark Coleman recalls experiencing just that juxtaposition of joy and sadness working on an article on a ridgetop north of San Francisco during the wildfires of late 2018. “It was just such a poignant moment of going into nature for refuge and solace and at the same time being reminded of the fires and the climate crisis,” Coleman says, noting the irony that he the article he’d been asked to write was about meditation and nature. Love and grief are at the center of Coleman’s practice for coping with climate anxiety. “We love this planet, we love this Earth, we love all of the abundance and the beauty and the diversity and complexity,” he explains, “[and] because we love, we feel the pain we feel the grief. The grief is a natural, healthy immune system response to a problem.” Mica Estrada, a professor in the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the University of California San Francisco, agrees that feeling grief is a valuable coping mechanism – even if it hasn’t always been encouraged. “I think for a long time that [grief] was seen as a weakness and I think we’re finally hitting an age where grief is seen as a strength,” she says. “I think we have lived in a time when the dominant culture says don’t feel too much. And I do feel like we’re finally growing up and saying listen, real strength is being able to feel what we’re feeling.” Guests: Mark Coleman, Mindfulness and Meditation Teacher; Author, Awake in the Wild: Mindfulness in Nature as a Path of Self-Discovery Mica Estrada, Associate Professor, Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, UCSF Related Links Mark Coleman - From Suffering to Peace: The True Promise of Mindfulness Good Grief Network: 10-Steps to Personal Resilience & Empowerment in a Chaotic Climate Climate Change Education Partnership This program was recorded at the Commonwealth Club of California on September 5, 2019.

 Born in Pativilca, Peru, 100 miles north of Lima, Alex Acuña was born into a musical family that inspired him and helped shape him as a musician. His father and five brothers were all musicians. Alex taught himself how to play the drums from the age of four. By the time Alex turned ten, he was already playing in local bands. As a teenager, he moved to Lima and became one of Peru's most accomplished session drummers, performing on many recording projects for artists, as well as film and television productions.In Lima, Alex also earned a glowing reputation for his live performances. So much so, that at the age of eighteen, Alex was chosen in 1964 by the great Cuban band leader, Perez Prado, to join his big band. It was with the Prado band that Alex first traveled to the United States. In 1965, Alex moved to Puerto Rico to work as a studio musician and play locally.

#186: Today’s episode is a recording I made of my seminar on Heavy Weather Sailing I gave at last weekends Ocean Sailing Seminar, hosted by World Cruising Club in Annapolis. While I’m lucky not to have too many gnarly heavy-weather sea stories of my own, I’ve studied the subject for years and enjoying talking about it theoretically. What follows is a discussion on what I feel are the ‘best practices’ for handling heavy weather, of course brought to life by a few of my own sea stories. Follow along with slides from the presentation at 59-north.com/heavyweather.  -- On the Wind is presented by Weems & Plath.

#114. Paul Exner speaks at the World Cruising Club's 'Ocean Sailing Seminar' in Annapolis, MD in March on what it's like to sail offshore in strong conditions. Paul touches on heavy weather in theory and mixes in his own experiences from his varied career as an ocean sailing skipper. Want to go ocean sailing with Andy or Paul?

Sarah Dunant compares our reaction today to climate change with responses in the seventeenth century to extreme weather.Producer: Sheila Cook.

In this week's podcast we discover the link between the weather and the risk of heart attacks - Krishnan Bhaskaran tells us about his research. Also, criticism and response are crucial parts of the scientific process, but how well do authors of research papers respond to critics of their work? Peter Gøtzsche and Tony Delamothe discuss their work looking at that in the BMJ.

Sci-Fi legend Bruce Sterling (Heavy Weather, The Difference Engine, Distraction and other great novels) is one of the cyberpunk gang of authors who have seen through the more pollyanna views of 'cool new technology' to warn that innovation can potentially create disruptions in everything from the climate system to the social system. I've been a fan of his since coming across Heavy Weather in the mid-1990's. Climate change was not cool back then. We're so much older than that now and the planet is so much warmer. I was delighted, and honored, when I ran into him earlier today at the FiRE Conference in San Diego and he agreed to be interviewed for Professionally Speaking. I really had no idea what he'd talk about. The last thing I expected was a discussion on the Mafiosi-like features of the European Union bureaucracy in Brussels. In fact he's planning to set his next book in Europe. To hear him explain why he finds modern "post-national" Europe so fascinating, and why he predicts the view from across the Atlantic will soon "return to the slightly paternalistic attitude of American’s as poorly educated hay-seeds," click on the podcast icon below.
