Fleetwood Mac [01:08] "I Don't Want to Know" Rumours Warner Bros. Records BSK 3010 1977 Funny how the classic rock radio format ruined so much music for me through it's incessant repetition of what it deemed classic, and yet I still thoroughly enjoy Rumours. A fun little number originally from the Buckingham Nicks days. Deerhoof [04:22] "Twin Killers" The Runners Four Children of the Hoof #1 2006 Maybe it's my Gemini nature (certainly not my killer nature) that draws me to this song. Arlo Guthrie [06:41] "Coming in to Los Angeles" Running Down the Road Reprise Records RS 6346 1969 Some solid country rock on this sophomore album from Woody's son. Support musicians include Clarence White, Ry Cooder, Gene Parsons, James Burton, Chris Ethridge and Jim Gordon. Ah the joys of travelling while holding. Neil Young & Crazy Horse [10:48] "Pocahontas" Rust Never Sleeps Reprise Records HS 2295 1979 Neil, I can probably tell you how she felt. The Rutles [14:10] "Cheese and Onions" The Rutles Warner Bros. Records HS 3151 1978 Yes indeed, the Prefab Four: Ron, Dirk, Stig, and Barry (https://youtu.be/sEwySvgfwLE). While my favorite Rutles song is "I Must Be in Love (https://youtu.be/54KBPA20b9Q)", "Cheese and Onions runs a close second, thank in no small part to the Galaxie 500 cover (https://youtu.be/pAzdSeAwKpg) of that song. Boston Pops/Arthur Fiedler w. Hugh Downs, Narrator [16:51] "Britten: The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, Op. 34 (Theme)" Carnival Of The Animals / The Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra, Op. 34 RCA Victor Red Seal LSC-2596 1964 Benjamin Britten's helpful introduction to the orchestra, interestingly used for an documentary film: Intstruments of the Orchestra (https://youtu.be/vkwgihr1hMM) from 1946. The Philadelphia Orchestra [21:26] "Saint-Saëns: Symphony No. 3 In C Minor, Op. 78 ("Organ Symphony") - Allegro Moderato; Presto; Maestoso" Saint-Saëns: Symphony No. 3 In C Minor, Op. 78 Columbia Masterworks MS 6469 1963 Hopefully you used your recently refreshed knowledge to listen to this piece, with the addition of ORGAN! Lou Reed [36:36] "Sally Can't Dance" Sally Can't Dance RCA CPL1-0611 1974 Another vivid Manhattan story from Lou's best chart performing album. Neko Case with the Pine Valley Cosmonauts [40:43] "Right or Wrong" Salute the Majesty of Bob Wills - The King of the Western Bloodshot Records BS 029 1998 A fine assortment of late-90s Bloodshot Records luminaries headed by Jon Langford give Neko Case a hand on this jazz standard that Bob Wills turned into a Western Swing classic. The Clash [43:57] "The Magnificent Seven" Sandinista! Epic FSLN 1 1980 Track one, side one from this 3 record release from The Clash. It features a pretty dope bass groove performed by the Blockheads' Norman Watt-Roy. Sarah Vaughan [49:29] "Just Squeeze Me" Sarah + 2 Roulette SR 52118 1965 The plus two being Joe Comfort on bass and Barney Kessel on guitar. A fine rendition of this Ellington standard. Music behind the DJ: "Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes" by Terry Baxter and his Orchestra
During their brief lifespan, the Box Tops earned a reputation as one of the best blue-eyed soul groups of the '60s, even if their recorded legacy wasn't as large or consistent as, say, the Righteous Brothers or the Rascals. Today they're remembered not only for their smashes "The Letter" and "Cry Like a Baby," but as the launching pad for singer Alex Chilton, who went on to become one of rock's most revered cult figures thanks to his groundbreaking power pop unit Big Star. In his teenage years, Chilton was an amazingly gritty Memphis soul belter akin to an American version of the Spencer Davis Group's Stevie Winwood. The Box Tops' music also encompassed touches of pop and psychedelia, although the group's own lack of control over it eventually led to their split-up. The Box Tops began life as the Devilles, a white R&B group featuring guitarists Gary Talley and John Evans, bassist Bill Cunningham, and drummer Danny Smythe. After the band's local popularity blossomed, teenage singer Alex Chilton joined up, and the Devilles quickly caught the attention of songwriters/producers Chips Moman and Dan Penn, who were on the lookout for a Stevie Winwood-type white soul singer. Changing their name to the Box Tops to avoid confusion with a different group of the same name, they signed with Bell Records and began recording at Moman's Memphis-based American Studio. The first single the group cut, "The Letter," rocketed to the top of the charts in 1967, not only spending four weeks at number one but ending up as Billboard magazine's number one single of the year. (Chilton was all of 16 at the time.) With a hit on their hands, Penn began to exert more control over the group; in the wake of "The Letter," he frequently used session musicians on the Box Tops' recordings, sometimes replacing the whole band behind Chilton, sometimes just individual members. Frustrated, Evans and Smythe both left the band to return to school in early 1968, and were replaced by Rick Allen (ex-Gentrys) and Tom Boggs, respectively. The follow-up to "The Letter," "Neon Rainbow," didn't do nearly as well, but the Box Tops managed another massive hit in 1968 with the Dan Penn/Spooner Oldham tune "Cry Like a Baby," which went to number two on the pop charts. Although a couple of minor hits followed in "I Met Her in Church" and "Choo Choo Train," Chilton was rapidly growing dissatisfied with the inconsistency of the material the Box Tops were handed (which was clear on the three LPs the group had released through 1968). As a result, Chilton was chafing at Penn's extreme reluctance to allow him to record his own original compositions. By the time of the Box Tops' fourth and final LP, 1969's Dimensions (an attempt to make a more cohesive album), Penn had bowed out and moved on to other projects. Several Chilton songs appeared on Dimensions, including "I Must Be the Devil," and the group had one last minor hit with "Soul Deep." Cunningham subsequently departed, also to go back to school, and the Box Tops began to disintegrate. When their contract expired in February 1970, they officially disbanded, and Chilton moved to Greenwich Village for a while. Not finding the creative hospitality he'd hoped for, Chilton soon returned to Memphis and joined an Anglo-pop outfit run by his friend Chris Bell; they morphed into Big Star, one of the most revered and mercurial bands in power pop (or, for that matter, underground rock & roll) history.

There have been fakers and imitators, tributes and rip-offs, but no one sounds like The Beatles on record—including the ex-Beatles. Nevertheless, some efforts have come closer than others, the most successful being those that have managed to capture the group’s essence rather than just replicate its sound while matching the standard of song material. In this episode, we dive into the good, the bad and the ugly—including those recordings which, bearing zero resemblance to the Fab Four, were promoted by bootleggers during the 1970s to fill the vacuum created by all of those unfounded Beatles-reunion rumours.

Son of Man: IncarnationHis Father’s House (Luke 2:41-52)January 5, 202041Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover. 42When he was twelve years old, they went up to the festival, according to the custom. 43After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. 44Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. 45When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. 46After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.” 49“Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?” 50But they did not understand what he was saying to them. 51Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. 52And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.Mary and Joseph were Law-Abiding ParentsExodus 23:15Deuteronomy 16:1-8 - The PassoverDeuteronomy 16:16Exodus 12:26-27Fully God and Fully ManPhilippians 2: 6-7Matthew 24:36 (The Day and Hour Unknown)2 Corinthians 5:211 John 3:5Increasing in Knowledge and Understandingi.he sought out teachers and sat in their midstii.he listenediii.he asked questionsiv.he gave answersMatthew 7:28Luke 18:34Luke 3:23Luke 4:22"I Must Be in My Father's House" (key verse, Luke 2:49)Luke 4:43Luke 9:22 (Other readings in Luke - 13:33; 17:25; 19:5; 22:37; 24:7; 24:26; 24:44; 24:46)John 10:29-33Jesus Demonstrated Obedience, Grew in Wisdom, Stature and in Favor with God (verses 50-51)1 Timothy 2:5 - For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.Key Lessons:i.Spiritual growth takes timeii.We experience a tension between our responsibilities to God and to our fellow meniii.We must often submit to those who are our inferiors/superiorsiv.We need God's grace upon us
Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir gefur út hljómplötuna I Must Be the Devil á föstudag, 5. apríl, en platan kemur út hjá Bel-Air Glamour Records útgáfunni - Ragnari Kjartanssyni og Ingibjörgu Sigurjónsdóttur - í samstarfi við The Vinyl Factory. Á plötunni má heyra tónlist sem samin var fyrir píanó og rödd á árunum 2005-2017, en Kristín Anna vann plötuna í samstarfi við tónskáldið Kjartan Sveinsson. Í tilefni af útgáfunni gefur hún út myndband við lagið Forever Love sem leikstýrt er af Ragnari Kjartanssyni og Allan Sigurðssyni, útgáfutónleikar verða síðan í Dómkirkjunni á fimmtudag. Kristína Anna verður gestur Lestarinnar hér rétt á eftir.Við ætlum að ræða um plötuna og minnast kannski aðeins á mynd sem prýðir plötualbúmið og hefur nú þegar vakið nokkra athygli. Eftirlíkingar, falsanir, svik og prettir. Falsanir geta haft margvíslegan tilgang, en tilgangur þeirra beinist þó alltaf í einhverjum skilningi að verðgildi hlutar eða persónu. Málverkafölsun er tilraun til að auka verðgildi málverks: Málverk er einskis virði, sama hve gott það er, ef það er ekki eftir neinn. Kjarvalsverk er dýrt, sama hversu misheppnað það er. Falsarinn, að minnsta kosti ef fölsun hans er vísvituð, hefur einhverja mótaða hugmynd um verðgildi hennar og þessa hugmynd byggir hann á hinu almennt viðtekna. Á Netflix er að finna heimildarmyndina Súru berin // Sour Grapes sem segir frá vínfalsara í Búrgúndí héraðinu í Frakklandi sem hafði af fólki stórfé með því að falsa verðmæti vína. Við veltum fyrir okkur fölsunum og markaðsbraski í Lestinni í dag, 1. apríl, spyrjum hvernig falsar maður vín og hvers vegna við fölsum yfir höfuð. Í gær, 31. mars, voru hundrað ár liðin frá fæðingu Stefáns Harðar Grímssonar, sem var í hópi merkustu ljóðskálda þjóðarinnar á síðustu öld. Stefán vakti fyrst athygli með bókinni Svartálfadansi, sem kom út árið 1951, og var hann fyrstur skálda til að hljóta Íslensku bókmenntaverðlaunin, þegar þau voru afhent í fyrsta sinn árið 1990, verðlaunin hlaut Stefán fyrir síðustu bók sína, Yfir heiðan morgun. Stefáns verður minnst í Lestinni í dag, gestir þáttarins verða skáldin Sigurbjörg Þrastardóttir og Anton Helgi Jónsson. Og The OA eru sannarlega einhverjir frumlegustu þættir sem Netflix hefur framleitt. Þó að ímyndunaraflið eigi það stundum til að hlaupa með höfundana í gönur þá er aldrei leiðinlegt að horfa á þá. Áslaug Torfadóttir fjallar um þættina í Lestinni í dag.
The Law of the Lid Your leadership is like a lid or a ceiling on your organization. Your church or business will not rise beyond the level your leadership allows. That’s why, when a corporation or team needs to be fixed, they fire the leader. - John Maxwell, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership Over the past 30+ years of working with leaders, I have observed how often we are all limited buy our own thoughts and perceptions. I'm defining these as myths...they are lies that we tell ourselves, which, ultimately limit our effectiveness and overall success. Leadership is the pathway to profit...in all of the nuances of that word. Our passion gets us off track and gets in the way. Converting that passion to profit is my theme. A large part of that conversation is reframing leadership. Starting and maintaining a profitable enterprise as an entrepreneur is very difficult, at best. However, research shows that 90% of businesses that fail do so because of the lack of leadership skills. Fortunately, leaders hip is a skill many people can learn. In my opinion, however, learning great leadership means that many of us must unlearn most of what we’ve previously been taught or observed. Best practice for building and sustaining a profitable business is often a reverse paradigm from the things business schools and prevailing leadership experts teach. Leadership best practice, from my perspective, requires the same skills a conductor uses to build the high performance cultures we call “ensembles” in the musical world. “Ensembles,” in the non-music context, are high-synergy teams. These teams develop only with intentionality of the leader. The entrepreneur who operates as a “solopreneur” might not perceive that synergistic teams are important. Wrong! If you are talking to at least one other person, such as a sales person, consultant, alliance or venture partner, advisor or board member, then you have a team. It is important for entrepreneurs to surround themselves with capable people. It is also important to learn from other businesses you admire. Being an entrepreneur is a choice to stay out of corporate systems, so why do things in the same way as a company you don’t want to work for? Team effectiveness starts with the leader and branches from there. First, you equip yourself, then you empower others. With this in mind, here are the 5 top leadership myths that kill entrepreneurial ventures: I Must Be in Command: Having been an entrepreneur all my life, I am sure I have made all mistakes possible. I call these mistakes, “learning opportunities.” In one business, my staff presented me with a BOSS card. It was great, until I turned it over to read the meaning on the other side. Translated, BOSS backwards is Double S.O.B.! I did what I had been taught and what I observed in other leaders--be the BOSS and have all the answers. A BOSS is an autocratic leader. It’s about them. It’s a one-way process. Today I know the leader doesn’t necessarily have all the answers—rather, an effective leader has good questions. Tip: Be the Transformational Leader who defines the vision, empowers others to fulfill that vision, and coaches others to a higher level of functioning and model what it is you want others to do. Always be Right: You don’t know everything, so why claim to be right? Leadership is about defining our personal gaps. Inventory your skills and score them from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest. Every skill below 5 should be delegated to leaders on the team. In view of the fact there are gaps in skills, there are most likely gaps in perspective, in knowledge, and in strategy. Being right means others have to be wrong. Focus on developing leaders on teams and coach them on being right. TIP: Ditch the ego. Healthy self-esteem means that others get to shine at times and, in the end, the leader gets credit for a healthy organization achieving goals. Listening is a primary leadership skill. Improper Language or Behavior: Certainly you are an entrepreneur because you want to do things your way. That’s why you don’t want to work for a major corporation. In doing so, however, it is vital that you don’t repeat the bad habits you observed in traditional corporations. As an entrepreneur, you have the chance to develop a better culture and a better business model than the ones you’ve observed. It requires different thinking. Thinking differently and acting differently doesn’t mean you can do or say what you please without filter. Organizations expect a leader to have high standards. The leader (that’s you) is the person of greatest influence within the business. This means there are consequences to using language and behavior in a manner that is not consistent with the image a leader of this stature represents. A Transformational Leader models what is expected of the rest of team. Tip: Set good boundaries and have an accountability partner who will speak the truth to you always, in a context of respect and love. Pretend to Know What You are Doing Even If You Don’t Know: Ignorance is bliss - or not! The leader who pretends to know everything becomes a target for others to prove otherwise. Following the theme of #2 above, leaders should gain not only skills, but should work on gaining knowledge as well. An effective leader is able to coalesce the best thinking of the group and make better decisions based on all available facts. They are able to reframe the negative energy from disagreement into creative tools for innovative thinking. Tip: Develop skills for framing a goal or stating a problem and then allowing the team to create data for decisions. A strong leader always holds the authority and uses power wisely by encouraging creative thinking and cross-disciplinary functioning. It’s not about you - it’s about the vision. Delegation is a Weakness of Leadership: Actually, delegation is a sign of strong leadership. Autocratic leaders become a bottleneck for decisions and processes. When the leader must make all decisions, there is a limit to how much the team or organization can do. The Charismatic or Autocratic Leadership model is not scalable. At the opposite end of the spectrum is Transformational Leadership. Companies are successful under each style of leadership, but I favor Transformational Leadership because it is about the vision and is scalable. Traits of this style of leadership include clarity of vision, the ability to build and equip leaders on teams, to support and encourage others, to provide information and coaching, and to model what you preach. Tip: Become a more serious student of leadership and never stop learning. Transform yourself first and then transform the organization by transforming the culture. Know that changing others in any group emotional system is accomplished by changing yourself. Are you ready to go to the next step? As you study these myths, I suggest you share your personal and organizational goals with at least three people you respect and with whom you have a valued connection. Check with them every 30 days to let them know how things are progressing. Being accountable to others is frightening at first, until you realize that the people you are accountable to are the people who will bring the highest value to you, because they understand where you’re going. But most important of all, for your venture’s success, when you hit the leadership lid, raise the ceiling!
