Led Zeppelin waren nach ihren vier ersten Alben zum Maßstab der Rockmusik geworden. Gewaltig war ihre musikalische Kraft, scheinbar unerschöpflich ihre Quellen. Auch ihr Album „Houses of the Holy“ im Jahr 1973 wurde ein weltweiter Riesenerfolg. Ein Unfall, private Schicksalsschläge, die Drogensucht einzelner Bandmitglieder lenkten die Konzentration von Led Zeppelin auf andere Gebiete, ein Konzertfilm wollte ebenfalls nicht gelingen. Schließlich starb der Schlagzeuger John Bonham – das Ende der Band 1980. Das Gefüge war zerbrochen, einzelne Konzerte in den Jahrzehnten danach pflegten den Mythos Led Zeppelin und zeigten, durch die weltweite Aufmerksamkeit, die höchste Wertschätzung für diese Band.

Diese Band berauschte die Musikwelt ab Ende der 60er Jahre. Alles an ihr schien größer, intensiver, kraftvoller zu sein, als das bis dahin The Who, die Rolling Stones oder Cream geliefert hatten. Led Zeppelin: das Quartett der britischen Band setzte sich zusammen aus dem virtuosen Gitarristen Jimmy Page, dem Bassisten John Paul Jones, beide schon erfahren als Studiomusiker, dazu kamen der überragend dynamische Schlagzeuger John Bonham und der stimmgewaltige Sänger Robert Plant, auch prägend durch sein Charisma auf der Bühne. In nur wenigen Jahren fegten Led Zeppelin mit dynamischem, innovativem Blues-Rock über die Bühnen Europas und der USA, trotz ihres erkennbaren Sounds nie ausrechenbar durch Anleihen im Folk, der Klassik oder etwa bei marokkanischen oder indischen Klängen. Led Zeppelin setzte weniger auf Singlehits, dagegen mehr auf Alben und stundenlange Konzerte. Ihr Erfolg wuchs von Jahr zu Jahr, als Meisterwerk wird bis heute ihr viertes Album aus dem Jahr 1971 gefeiert. Die musikalische Abenteuerreise der Band ist damit aber noch längst nicht abgeschlossen.

EPISODE 60 - "THELMA RITTER: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH" - 11/04/2024 There's a scene in the classic 1950 film All About Eve where Eve Harrington (ANNE BAXTER), a star-struck fan who has infiltrated the life of Broadway star Margo Channing (BETTE DAVIS), is telling the tragic story of her past to Margo and her friends. While Margo and company are drawn into the sad circumstances of Eve's life, Margo's acerbic dresser Birdie, played to perfection by the great THELMA RITTER, is not buying her sob story. After Eve finishes, Birdie mutters, "What a story! Everything but the bloodhounds snappin' at her rear end." This is probably the moment I fell in love with Ritter. With her heavy New York accent, diminutive size, working-class charm, and sarcastic zingers, she made a career of stealing scenes from big stars and making the most of her time on screen. She played characters wiser than most, and her characters certainly didn't suffer fools gladly. She is a cinematic treasure, and we celebrate her as our Star of the Month.

How The West Was Won (1962) / Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 (2024) This week we're hitching our wagons to the epic visions of MGM and Kevin Costner as we explore two sprawling takes on westward expansion
The Ghosts season 3 finale airs tomorrow night (May 2nd) on CBS, and star Asher Grodman who plays fan favorite Trevor Lefkowitz, talks about landing the role, his audition process, when he found out his character was pants-less, and how the pandemic nearly ended the show before it began. He discusses the ensemble nature of Ghosts, what it's like to do a sitcom, the difference between auditioning and acting, and how he learned to do both. Plus, Asher shares his Jacksonville Jaguar fandom and explains what inspired the short film he made for the team for last year's draft. And he talks about his friendship with late, great actor Eli Wallach (of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly and How The West Was Won fame), and how he persuaded Eli to star in Asher's student film.

Tune in for a spirited discussion of book titles such as "Charlotte's Web", "A Wrinkle In Time", "1984", and "To Kill A Mockingbird", among many others. Len talks about the SOPHISTICATED titles he read in high school, while Beave tries to talk Mad Magazine and Russian literature. There's also talk of Dickens, Kafka, Thomas Hardy, and J.D. Salinger.

There are enough people out there who yearn for the arcane, the odd, the unsuccessful, the strange, and the historically overlooked to justify 200 podcast episodes of D-Sides, Orphans, and Oddities. This makes me happy, and the topics are inexhaustible. From the strange singles of Freddie Cannon and Lou Christie to the occasionally wonderful singles of Les Humphries Singers, Doris, Os Mutantes, to the strange paths to fame like The American Breed ("Bend Me Shape Me") evolving into Rufus, and then Chaka Kahn, and then "I Feel For You", her biggest hit, written by Prince, but the Kahn version was actually the 4th release and, had Patrice Rushen opted to try it (she turned it down), the 5th. A Prince song with Stevie Wonder playing harmonica over his own voice being sampled. To me, pop music is styles and the biggest records tend to be styles smooshed together. People like dangerous white music and safe black music. People like rap, but with a melodic vocal hook. While the Bee Gees were not a disco group, the Saturday Night Fever movie was a perfect petri dish. Combine Travolta's white-hot star power with the zeitgeist of Disco and the very odd recordings the Bee Gees were doing at that time. It was the success and the playing it safe in the movie's wake that doomed them. The Beatles were preternaturally gifted with a work ethic that would kill the musicians of today. But their fame was also born of withering luck. A producer and a manager (and record company) that didn't really know what they were supposed to do with these four tough guys. None of them tried to make The Beatles pick a lead singer, so, like their live act, all four would do it. Because they had the shocking temerity to say "Nope, we're not doing that song...", it was like saying to someone with a gun In your face, "Go ahead. We've come this far. You don't know WHAT we've seen. We see through you, over and over. In Germany. In Sweden. In Wales. We never said 'no' to a gig, no matter how much driving or begging or lack of sleep, and if the Reeperbahn couldn't stop us, what makes you think YOU will?" And their genuine love of Black music somehow broke the barriers for generations of singers, players, etc. Imagine that moment. You're in The Beatles, you've struggled and burned the roads up and played innumerable gigs, and sat, nose to nose, creating songs in your room that people would be singing and playing for 60 years hence. But now, the sessions begin, and the man in the tie wants you to record a "ringer". And you try it, but it doesn't really do anything. It's ok. But you have to decide. Play the game? Or risk this dude's red pen. Or show up with something better. And the guy with the tie has been through some shit as well. And he's tired of being relegated to 2nd string and he resents being put in a place where these four punks dare question his choice. Do better. I'm tired of this shit. And "Please Please Me" is as black a record as anything any band from England before them had tried. And that little phrase can be attributed to everything they tried after that. Because they proved it, in that ONE shot across the bow that would resonate for what will be eons, that your old choices for ringers, publishing company favors, Brill building production lines, plug-and-play Motown stuff, etc., were going to either fade or have to adapt. I stop my show pretty much at 1980 because that's when drum machines and synths became songwriting devices. I never liked Joy Division. I just don't get it. At that point, and with exceptions, sure, drum programming and synth programming made songwriting easy. That didn't make the songs any better. Just easier to make. Someone else can do that show. Anyhow, this is to say thank you to all the folks that have listened and downloaded. THIS show is me delivering a preamble and then playing 4 hours of music from past shows that I really like. Let's call this "Part 1" because the show, as I originally tried to put it together, lasted 10+ hours. So consider this show when you're on a long drive, doing work, making love to your woman, or man, or both, or none. So...... This is the setlist, but they're not all ‘good songs'. Some are meant to show you the arcane nature of what I find most enjoyable. Song-poems (“The Beatle Boys”), artists coping with the end of their heyday (Gary Glitter) and ill-prepared for life after that, or artists way before they found their niche (The Gap Band). And, of course, groups I love like Rose Tattoo, The Free Design, and SAHB. Leo's Sunshipp - Give Me The Sunshine (1978) The Free Design - My Very Own Angel (1969) GLS United - Rapper's Deutsch (1980) Samples “Rapper's Delight”, which samples “Good Times” by Chic, “Here Comes That Sound Again” by Love De-Luxe with Hawkin's Discophonia (which i played on one of my previous shows), and a quote from the movie Five on the Black Hand Side, specifically, a scene in the barbershop that predated the advent of Rudy Ray Moore' Dolemite character by 2 years. Louis Armstrong - The Creator Has a Master Plan (1970) w/ Leon Thomas Rick Wakeman - I'm So Straight, I'm a Weirdo (1980) I just like playing this awful oddity from the keyboard player from Yes. This record defies description. But if you see the video on Youtube, look for a young Boy George. James Last - Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) (1971) From the album Voodoo-Party. Billy Preston - My Sweet Lord (1970) One of two albums he released on Apple Records. Rod Rogers (really, Rod Keith) and the Swinging Strings - The Beatle Boys (196?) The Gap Band - Magician's Holiday (1974) Gary Glitter - A Little Boogie Woogie in the Back of My Mind (1977) The Free Design - There Is A Song (1972) I will never stop praising this wonderful group. Stuart Damon - Eros (1970) Dr. Alan Quartermaine from General Hospital had a brief singing career. The Millennium - There Is Nothing More To Say (1968) Lou Christie lifted this wonderful melody for his own “Canterbury Road" later that year. From the film “Till [sic] Kingtom Comes”. XTC- Across This Antheap (1987) I never tire of this amazing track. It's my show. Aerosmith -Nobody's Fault (1976) I like Aerosmith's '70s albums very much. They were all loaded with hidden gems, and to me, “Nobody's Fault” was just the most succinct example of a band that made consistently good/great albums. Frank Zappa - Andy (1980) A great, difficult tune (you try it with your band.) Recorded live in Buffalo. Annette Peacock - The Succubus (1979) The Red Shadow - Anything Good (1975) Carpenters - B'wana She No Home (1977) Bruford - Back To The Beginning (1978) Frank Sinatra - Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown (1974) Barry McGuire & The Doctor - South Of The Border (1970) I love this song. We are on the eve of destruction indeed. Might as well… Beach Boys - Rollin' Up To Heaven (1972?) This is so insane, and especially from a major artist, that it defies categorization. Rose Tattoo - We Can't Be Beaten (1982) Ferocious. Billy (Crash) Craddock - Knock Three Times (1971) Led Zeppelin - Black Dog (1972) Unbelievable live version from “How The West Was Won”. Listen to those bass drum tricks. Especially during the coda. I wish Robert Plant never smoked. A normal drummer would go crazy with fills. Bonham put them where they belonged, no more. He showed amazing restraint at times. You wouldn't think so, but he was a grooving monster above all else. Black Oak Arkansas - Hot And Nasty (1971) Michael (Mick) Jackson - Blame It On The Boogie (1978) Bob & Earl - Harlem Shuffle (1969) The Kids From The Brady Bunch - Candy (Sugar Shoppe) (1972) So inappropriate that I wonder what the record company/TV show producers were thinking. Good song and a nice performance by the studio band. Bread - Everything I Own (1972) Carla Bley - Rawalpindi Blues (1972) Nick Mason - Do Ya? (1980) Liberace - Say Ciao (1970) Liberace puts it into words and music..."Never Say Goodbye, Say Ciao"...capturing the mood of Ciao Liqueur...the imported new liqueur with the elusive new taste. I can't find another song that Liberace wrote himself. Crack The Sky - Surf City (Here Come The Sharks) (1975) Les Humphries Singers - Dancing Queen (1976) You can still hear Jimmy Bilsbury's straining, smoky tenor in the choruses. “Having the time of your life…” Poor guy. Eddie Kendricks - Me 'N Rock 'N Roll Are Here To Stay (1974) Denny Greene - The Great Escape (1981) Ex-Sha Na Na member trying to break type like J Jocko tried a few years before. I love this. This is a dance mix of the original he did in 1977. Dennis Wilson - River Song (1977) Doris - Did You Give The World Some Love Today, Baby? (1970) No one knows who Doris is. I'd rather listen to her and this crazy Swedish band for a year before I ever give any time to Janis Joplin. Rotary Connection - Didn't Want To Have To Do It (1967) Adriano Celentano - Prisencolinensinainciusol (1972) This is a wonderful remix of the original fluke hit. The Move - Do Ya (different version) (1971) Jeff Lynne - Doin' That Crazy Thing (1977) Rick Nelson - Don't Blame It On Your Wife (1968) Sha Na Na Anti-Drug PSA (197?) Doris - Beatmaker (1970) Dschinghis Khan - Rocking Son Of Dschinghis Khan (1979) Edith Head Fashion Prescription Emerson, Lake, and Palmer - Trilogy (1973) Utopia - Eternal Love (1976) Alix Dobkin - View Form Gay Head (1973) Fats Domino - Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me and My Monkey (1968) John Farrar - Falling (1980) Creedence Clearwater Revival - Feelin' Blue (1969) Laverne and Shirley - Five Years On (1976) Written by Michael McKean. His story is too long for me to get into. For POACA he was "Lenny" of Lenny and Squiggy. Or he was David St. Hubbins in Spinal Tap. Or he was Saul Goodman's brother in Better Call Saul. Genesis - Fly On A Windshield/Broadway Melody of 1974 (1974) Fonzie Impressionist Track (Aaaaay, Cool, Nerd, Sit On It) (1976) One of the weirdest things in my collection. Why does it exist? And then it repeats in reverse!!
Legendary singer and vocal contractor talks her illustrious career in Hollywood working in choirs and as soloist for many film composers, including her work for John Williams on Amistad and other projects Hosted by Maurizio Caschetto Film score recordings in Hollywood are performed not just by hundreds of talented orchestra musicians, but they often feature the superb work of great vocalists, singers and choirs. Sally Stevens is perhaps the most famous and distinguished singer and vocalist who lent her beautiful voice to countless film and television soundtracks and studio recordings in Los Angeles. Her resume includes work for illustrious film composers including John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, Alan Silvestri, James Newton Howard, Danny Elfman, just to name a few, but also for some of the most famous names of the recording industry like Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Burt Bacharach among others, in a career spanning five decades and thousands of performances. Under the banner name Hollywood Film Chorale, she contracted choirs and singers for successful films including Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, The Abyss, Forrest Gump, The Matrix Revolutions, Jurassic World, among others, and also on popular tv shows as The Simpsons and Family Guy. She also served as choral director of the Oscars broadcasts for over 20 years, the most recent being the 2018 Academy Awards. Sally's collaboration with John Williams started in 1997, when she was asked to be vocal contractor for the film Amistad, directed by Steven Spielberg. She also collaborated on such films as Minority Report (2002), War of the Worlds (2005), Munich (2005), Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015). In this conversation, Sally Stevens reminisces about her glorious career as a singer and vocal contractor working in Hollywood, from his early days singing in the choir for Alfred Newman's How The West Was Won to the work as soloist for Lalo Schifrin, Jerry Goldsmith and other great composers. She also recollects her experience working as a vocal contractor for John Williams on Amistad and other projects involving choirs and vocal soloists, sharing her own unique insight and perspective on Williams' choral writing and the use of human voice.

http://www.claynferno.com/ http://claynferno.substack.com http://twitter.com/claynferno http://twitch.tv/claynferno http://youtube.com/claynferno Never have I tuned the algorithm so quickly on YouTube so quickly to my immediate interests. An hour after completing the Season 4 Finale of the top-streamed Taylor Sheridan show Yellowstone, I'm being fed top bull rider videos from Vice News, Stories from The Bunkhouse from the franchise itself, and Peter Travers and Kevin Costner's making of Yellowstone interview, worthy of the embed below. Costner was pitched Yellowstone as a 10-part movie, not a series The actor only has 5-10 Western movies he thinks are up to snuff Built 3 canoes before he was 18 after admiring James Stewart in How The West Was Won at a birthday party when he was 6 years old Costner is set to start shooting period Western “Horizon” in August The twenty-minute video gives some insight into the man who is and who plays John Dutton. I saved the Costner interview to watch after a battery of Entertainment Tonight interviews with the other stars of the show. For the record, I've been watching this mostly on my own, this is not a show I watch with my long-suffering partner who I keep telling to “Cowboy Up”. Tonight, one of her burlesque troupe members was here with her to prep for a show, while I somehow made my way through the Season Finale of Yellowstone. I have 1883 to watch now, but I am sad that I am so caught up. I cried 5 times. For the record, I cry when I see Costner in Man of Steel professing “You ARE my son” to young Kal-El. Every. Damn Time. At least 3 of the Yellowstone cries were for these father/son moments between the complex characters in the show. I discovered recently that my current obsession makes a lot of sense. I'm really enjoying my new and gigantic TV with Yellowstone. Tyler Sheridan, real-life cowboy, actor, and creator of the show is responsible for one of my favorite movies in recent years, Sicario and the sequel (not as great in my mind, Sicario: Day of The Soldado. At my friend's wedding in Puerto Rico, Benicio Del Toro was at the same resort hotel. Christ, you could have filmed part of this movie at this hotel. President Obama and the First Lady stayed there too. Badass place, with parrots. Prior to my recent deep dive into this show, I had credited Sicario director Denis Villeneuve with the genius of that story. Visually, he's my favorite working director in the business today. I love the overhead shots and sweeping vistas. The story presents an insider knowledge of drug cartels or at least believable fiction. For some reason, I never had a reason to look at who wrote the story I found so compelling. Sheridan's career is vast, including Oscar nominations for 2016's Hell or High Water. You can be your whole bunkhouse paycheck that I will be seeing that one soon. This guy is amazing and I wish the expanded Yellowstone universe with 1883 and 6666 all the success in the world. Amazing cast, writing, action over all of these projects. Actors go to Cowboy Camp. The production films on location. Accuracy is matched with the beauty and sweeping landscapes of The West. I'm not sure why you are not watching Yellowstone yet. I'm already planning a Montana vacation. Last week, we lost one of the heroes of Grunge. So many are gone now. Rest in Peace, Mark Lanegan. Here's Mark with Layne playing “Long Gone Day” with Mad Season. Here's Mark with PJ Harvey “Hit The City”. So much loss and it especially hurts when it's someone struggling with sobriety (not that this was his cause of death, that has yet to be revealed and he was sick recently).

A short exploration of 2 tracks left off of Led Zeppelin's live album, How The West Was Won. We listen to an audience recording of Led Zeppelin performing the Kingsmen's Louie Louie, and Sly and the Family Stone's Everyday People, before morphing into an encore performance of Thank You. These songs were not included in the live album, yet are awesome, and incredibly moving performances. Check it out.
It took nearly three decades for the first truly great Led Zeppelin live release, but when they finally put out "How The West Was Won," fans knew it was great instantly, and it debuted at #1 - a feat it achieved on this date, June 8, 2003.
