JC Sanford, Scott L. Miller and Aby Wolf combine to create Improvisational music, Each group member at other times plays music guided by form and convention. But they also like to sit down, and respond to whatever comes up, or come up with an idea that is expected to lead to something else. Phil Nusbaum talked to JC Sanford about the concept. First JC addressed the work of Aby Wolf.

"House Of Steam" Putting it simply the L.A.-born Nels Cline's resume' is so deep, to quote Mark Eitzel, it "would make the ocean proud." The guitarist and composer is one of the most respected names in the business and though he's perhaps best known these days for being the guitarist of Wilco, let's not single story Mr. Cline, because his body of work is varied and extensive. Aside from his early jazz work with his twin brother Alex, he's played with everyone from the Geraldine Fibbers to Mike Watt to Thurston Moore. But that doesn't even scratch the surface. Cline has played on close to 200 albums in jazz, pop, rock, country, and experimental music. Let me give you a few of those 200 to play with: Yoko Ono, Henry Kaiser, Firehose, Wayne Kramer, Rickie Lee Jones, John Zorn, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Neil Finn, Lee Ranaldo and Chris Stamey. And belive me when I tell you that's a heavily expurgated list. Over the years Cline has been in bands with his pal Mike Watt Floored By Four, band with his wife Yuka Honda of Cibo Matto and he's had the Nels Cline Singers, the Nels Cline Trio, and the Nels Cline 4. Now comes The Consentrik Quartet, which is Cline along with saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock, bassist Chirs Lightcap and drummer Tom Rainey. Improvisational, experimental and downright wonderful, the band's debut album is a profound blend of rich cycle grooves, unexpected rhythmic excursions, and subtle meter innovations. It's marvelous work. Filled with delicate percussive brushes, virtuoso sax fills, prowling bass lines idiosyncratic sax melodies and Cline's nimble guitar lines moving through each composition with dextrous finesse, it's hard to think of a richer listening experience in recent memory. It's hard to think of a nicer guy as well--Nels is a lovely fellow and now you get to meet him. www.nelscline.com (http://www.nelscline.com) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers The Podcast IG & Bluesky: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. By the time Scott hit his late 40s/early 50s he weighed over 550 pounds thanks to his adherence to the standard American dietary/exercise advice. It was not until Scott began walking, fasting, and reading the work of Jason Fung and others that he was able to start dropping weight and getting healthy. Similarly, Scott's wife, Camille has been able to radically improve her personal health following the same dietary principles that her husband discovered. Together they run the website Improvisational Keto Kitchen—a site which provides a number of dietary tools, hacks, techniques, and recipes that Scott and Camille have adapted or developed to make the very low carbohydrate lifestyle not only sustainable, but enjoyable.  In this episode, Tro, Brian, Scott, and Camille talk about the power of fasting, the work of Vinnie Tortorich and Jason Fung, the spiritual impetus for the beginning of Scott's weight loss journey, why abstinence is often better than moderation for those struggling to lose weight and/or stick with their diet, how Camille's arthritis, anxiety, asthma, fibromyalgia, and allergies have improved, how Scott and Camille support and help each other to continue down the path of health, the importance of having a ‘why' motivating your health journey, avoiding the ‘reformed smoker's mentality' after you discover a health lifestyle that works for you, and the power of consistent effort.

It's 2015, and I've just started training in Improvisational comedy. Every Wednesday night, I attend Alan Irwin's Improv classes at Santa Barbara Improv. Weeks turn into months, and my fondness for Improv grows into an addiction. I want to learn more, absorb more, and grow faster!  So I start keeping a notebook of all the games we play and capturing all the critical class lessons and sound bites. I even stay after to ask for notes on my performance. Yet, I still crave more and want to accelerate my learning beyond the pacing of one class a week. I ask Alan for private coaching and, while he doesn't do it very often, he agrees.  Those one-on-one sessions are a game changer for me. They help deepen my understanding of the craft of Improv and allow me to significantly expand my knowledge. Thanks to his feedback from just a few of these private lessons, I end up at a completely different level. So many of us want to accelerate our growth, amplify our learning, and expand our skills fast. How do we do that as speakers and storytellers?  In this continuation of our “So You Think You Want to Become a Storyteller” series on the Storytelling School Podcast, you'll learn where to start, how to accelerate your learning and grow with your audience, and how to keep track of your progression as you amplify the expansion of your speaking craft. I'll answer questions like: How do you personalize your development plan to become a master storyteller or speaker? How can you accelerate your success and make stories more engaging and memorable? How can you leverage digital platforms, networking, and collaborations to become more visible and expand your reach? How can you get more opportunities to practice storytelling and teach your expertise? And how do you integrate continuous learning into a busy schedule? What you will learn in this episode: How to come up with a development plan for mastering storytelling How you can use your audience to help you accelerate your growth What to look for to assess your storytelling and speaking progress over time A little about me: Hi there. I'm Kymberlee. As a Speaking Strategist and founder of Storytelling School, I've had the pleasure of working with over 500 speakers, business leaders, and entrepreneurs worldwide for over a decade. No matter if those folks were getting ready to take the TED or TEDx stage or preparing for a high-stakes presentation with everything on the line, my specialty is High Stakes Short Form Communication. I've seen what works when influencing change and what doesn't. It turns out storytelling is one of the most powerful tools you can have in your arsenal. That's why I'm building a movement of master storytellers to affect change in the world on a global scale to help people tell real stories that have influence and impact. With effective storytelling, you change people's lives. Since competition for potential client attention is fierce, a story can make the difference between being memorable or irrelevant. You'll find me sharing my matcha tea mishap to discuss perfectionism, my quest for Bruce Lee and Hello Kitty art to explore kindness, or the six months of live blade training I underwent to illustrate presence. I spend my days showing the power of using stories to help cement ideas and bring lessons to life and teach my clients to do the same.

On the forty-fourth episode of the Cinematic Odyssey, Tristen, Max, and special guest Judah delve into George Romero's pioneering horror cult classic Night of the Living Dead. Max brings up his feelings about gore and an unfinished script, Judah presents questions and about the nudity and gore present on screen, and Tristen contextualizes the film within the culture and time period of its creation. They ultimately rule on the lasting effects that the film has had on the horror genre but how that does not necessarily make it a masterpiece or an excellent movie.

In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Jack explains the meaning of three idioms using the verb "live."Phrasal Verbs: Live in / Live for / Live down / Live it upTranscript:A to Z Tips 32.mp300:00:0000:13:2600:00:01발표자 1Welcome to the A-Z English podcast, where Jack and Social take you on a journey from learning the basics to mastering the nuances of the English language. Our podcast is designed for non-native speakers who are looking to improve their English skills in a fun and interactive way. Each episode covers a wide range of topics.00:00:23발표자 1From grammar and vocabulary to slang and culture to help you navigate the English speaking world with ease.00:00:36발표자 2Welcome to the Adas English podcast. My name is Jack and I am one of the hosts of the podcast, and today I'm doing a solo episode. I'm without social. However, we have an interesting lesson for you today. It is a continuation of.00:00:53발표자 2Our last two quick tip episodes where we are unpacking the meanings.00:01:01발표자 2Of phrasal verbs, which can be kind of confusing in English, phrasal verbs are where we use usually a verb and a preposition together, and it has a kind of new meaning to it. So there are quite a few in English, and it's good to be familiar with these, so that.00:01:23발표자 2You know when you hear people use them, you.00:01:26발표자 2Understand what they're saying, or if you want to express yourself in a way that.00:01:30발표자 2Is a little bit.00:01:31발표자 2More specific and you wanna articulate a point that is.00:01:37발표자 2It's clearer than this may be a good solution for you. So our first one is our first phrasal verb is to live in, to live in, and this one's pretty easy to live in, means to reside in the place, especially a permanent or long term resident.00:02:00발표자 2For example, they live in a small cottage by the beach.00:02:07발표자 2Yeah. And you know, where do you live? You know? And it's not just live, but like I live in.00:02:15발표자 2So you would probably want to add like if somebody says.00:02:21발표자 2You know.00:02:24발표자 2Where do you live? Do you live in a house or an apartment? You could say. Well, I live in an apartment in whatever city in New York City I live in an apartment in New York City.00:02:38발표자 2Pretty. Ohh, that's great. OK, where do you live? Well, I live in a studio apartment in Brooklyn. OK, interesting. Interesting. But notice how we're using the verb.00:02:56발표자 2Ohh sorry, we're using the proposition in after the verb live live in you know. Where do you live? I I live in Mexico.00:03:07발표자 2OK.00:03:09발표자 2Yeah, because in meaning in that country, in that apartment, in that neighborhood I live in, I live in Brooklyn. I live in Manhattan. I live in Mexico City. I live in Colorado. I live in Los Angeles.00:03:29발표자 2These are are very common expressions in so and so you should get used to using that together live in live in where do you live? I live in. I live in Stillwater. I live in White Bear Lake. I live in North Saint Paul.00:03:47발표자 2That's where I live.00:03:49발표자 2#2.00:03:55발표자 2They live in a small sorry I read this one already. Sorry #2 live 4 live 4.00:04:07발표자 2OK, this is to have a strong passion or desire for something. What do you live for? Like, what is your?00:04:18발표자 2Number one priority, who do you you know? Who do you live for? What do you live for? What is your?00:04:25발표자 2Obsession, you know, I'm. I'm trying to think of a an example.00:04:32발표자 2What's a good example of somebody that lives for something?00:04:37발표자 2I'm trying to.00:04:38발표자 2Think of some like sports athletes and.00:04:45발표자 2Well, let's just for the lack of of a better example here. Let's talk about messy, OK?00:04:54발표자 2What does messian live for?00:04:56발표자 2If you had to choose one thing, what?00:04:58발표자 2Does he live for?00:05:00발표자 2He lives for football.00:05:02발표자 2OK, it consumes 90% of his life.00:05:09발표자 2You know, he sees his family sometimes, but really he lives for football, lives for football. And here's an example.00:05:21발표자 2To have a strong passion or desire for something.00:05:27발표자 2Example. She lives for adventure and is always seeking new experiences, so maybe for her every time there's a holiday from school or from work, she jumps on a plane and she travels somewhere because what is her passion? What does she live?00:05:47발표자 2Or she lives for traveling.00:05:51발표자 2She lives for adventure.00:05:55발표자 2OK, So what do you live for? What do you live for?00:05:59발표자 2Gotta think of what I live for these days. I live for podcasting. I mean, that's the reality. I every minute of my day that I have any extra time. I'm in my office, I'm editing podcasts. I'm recording podcasts.00:06:17발표자 2I live for podcasts. Yeah, this is true. This is true.00:06:23발표자 2Uh. All right, let's do #9 live down, live down LIVEDOWN.00:06:35발표자 2Live down means to overcome or recover from an embarrassing or shameful situation.00:06:45발표자 2Example, it took him 10 years to live down the embarrassment of that awkward speech, so maybe he gave a speech.00:06:57발표자 2And he forgot all the words.00:07:00발표자 2So he was just doing a speech. Hello. My. My name is Jack. And today I'm going to talk.00:07:11발표자 2Talk about.00:07:13발표자 2Talk about. I can't remember what I was gonna talk about. Yeah, that's an unmitigated disaster, right? If you forget everything that you're going to talk about, that it's going to take you a while to live down the shame.00:07:34발표자 2The embarrassment and you know, as we say in English, time heals all wounds, right? So 10 years later, no one is gonna care about his bad speech. But maybe for the first six months.00:07:51발표자 2His colleagues might make fun of him and.00:07:54발표자 2Make a joke, you know.00:07:57발표자 2It's possible it's possible.00:08:01발표자 2And so.00:08:03발표자 2To live down something is to overcome or recover from an embarrassing or shameful situation. Example it took him years to live down the embarrassment.00:08:18발표자 2Of that awkward speech. So the first two years, every time he thought about that speech, he blushed. You know, his face turned red and he was embarrassed. But after 10 years, you just kind of go ohh, whatever. Who cares?00:08:38발표자 2You know, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.00:08:42발표자 2It's not that important, but when things are fresh in our minds, we definitely like to think about it a lot and obsess about it and feel bad about it. But don't.00:08:58발표자 2Nobody cares, right? People will forget it immediately and you don't need to. No one will think about it more than you think about it.00:09:09발표자 2OK, think about that.00:09:11발표자 2No one will think about your bad speech more.00:09:16발표자 2Then you think about it yourself. OK, so if you can take that power away from it and forgive yourself, you'll be much happier. #10 live up to live up to it means to enjoy life to the fullest.00:09:37발표자 2Often by indulging in enjoyable activities or experiences.00:09:43발표자 2Have you ever met a couple that want to live it up?00:09:48발표자 2You know, they go skydiving and parachuting and parasailing and surfing and traveling and.00:09:56발표자 2They're just all over the world living it up, just having a great time together to live it up.00:10:07발표자 2Are you a livid up kind of person, or are you a Super Saver? Do you want to save up with your husband and wife and buy a house? No vacations, maybe have some children? What is your?00:10:25발표자 2Objective for when you have some money, when you have some money, when you're earning some money, what do you want to do with your money?00:10:36발표자 2And remember that the meaning of phrasal verbs can sometimes be idiomatic and context dependent, so it's important to consider the context in which they are used to fully understand their intended meanings. So.00:10:55발표자 2You know, again, these are not like 100%.00:10:58발표자 2Went black and white. Some of them are idiomatic expressions and they might be used a little differently. Pay attention when you're talking to native speakers so that you can also use these in a more colloquial X extemporal.00:11:19발표자 2My brain is, yeah.00:11:24발표자 2I don't know if that's the right word. Improvisational. I don't know. Manner so that you can actually use these. You know, these are very common in in American culture. So I think these are good to learn. And with that said.00:11:44발표자 2I will stop today's today's episode. I just want you to go to podchaser.com. Give us a good review. All you need is a Google account.

This is such a cool episode of Side Projects. It's the art of improv! And I have to say, I felt a little bit guilty prepping for this one. Ev & Paul from Cinema Cinema have both been on the podcast before, but never together. And we are all joined by the enigmatic Thor Harris. THere's a lot of juice in this one. To say all three guests are well versed in improvisational music is possibly the biggest understatement I've ever made. It's almost like saying McDonald's is well versed at making fast food.  We begin with a brief history of Thor and how he started playing music and eventually improvisational music. I also get reacquainted with Ev, Paul, and Cinema Cinema. They have just released an album of music that is entirely improvisational and they tell me the whole story behind the session. Yes session. The album, Mjolnir, was recorded in one day in three 30 minute sessions. Thor arrived at BC Studio, arms swinging, with no instruments. No music or lyrics were prepared. And this was the first time Ev and Paul have ever met Thor. So out came Ev's guitar, Paul's drums (including a tin whistle he keeps for just such an emergency) and a whole bunch of neglected instruments from the studio's closets. This was an exercise of being forced to stay in the moment. Nothing was prepared and time was limited. What came out of the sessions was magical. It was so magical that Thor and Cinema Cinema are working on plans to play live together. Pick up Mjolnir on Cinema Cinema's Bandcamp page. Follow them @cinemacinemaband on Instagram. Follow Thor @thorharris for more info. Follow us @PerformanceAnx. Buying stuff at performanceanx.threadless.com or sending us coffee money at ko-fi.com/performanceanxiety helps us out tremendously.
