[TW//Drug Misuse, Suicidal Thoughts] Today I welcome singer, songwriter and author of the Amazon bestseller The Joy of Addiction, Sebastian Wocker. Aged 17, Wocker landed the principal part of Woof in the 1983 European tour of the musical Hair where, suffering teenage angst, low self-worth and low self-esteem, he went into a deep depression and had to throw in the towel after two months. He returned to his safe haven of drugs and alcohol in London, where he auditioned for and got into LAMDA (London Academy of Dramatic Arts), only to drop out after two days because he 'couldn't stand all those happy clappy prima donnas'. The real reason? He was an addict, hopelessly hooked on drugs and alcohol and didn't want to be found out. Sebastian takes us on a compelling journey down the abyss of alcohol, cocaine, speed, cannabis, hallucinogen and prescribed drug addiction, leading him to various rock bottoms and 'dark nights of the soul'. Then, aged 21, a moment of inspiration: a seed planted by his long suffering mother finally got him into the 12-step programme, offering him the life-changing gift of recovery. For anyone struggling with addiction, he shares how he got himself out and continues to live life, a day at a time — a free man. Having found recovery in 1987, Sebastian formed indie-rock band Yeah in 1990, playing the London, Hamburg and Berlin club circuits. After a five-page interview with Die Zeit Magazine in 1992, Yeah appeared on various radio and TV shows and in 1993 was awarded The John Lennon Talent Award in Hamburg. In 1998 he wrote and produced World Cup Crescendo for TV impressionist Alistair McGowan. In 2002 he signed as a songwriter for Global Chrysalis Publishing, writing numerous songs for Cherry Red Records and Universal Records and released his solo album: Don Sebastiano, The Spaghetti Tree. In 2007 Wocker recorded the soundtrack of German movie Pornorama with Mousse T and, in 2010, was the singing voice for Tobias Menzies in the award winning independent motion picture Forget Me Not. Sebastian has written as a journalist for The Independent, Mr Partner Magazine (Japan), Camden New Journal and Ham and High Express. He is currently journalist and editor of the Hampstead Village Voice and has interviewed various household names including Emma Thompson, Russell Brand, George Graham, Giles Coren and Martin Bell. Wocker is currently recording an audiobook for his best selling book The Joy of Addiction, out on Audible from February 2024 and is writing the sequel: The Joy of Relapse. He is currently the lead singer/song writer of indie band Ridiculous with Jon Moss, Erran Baron-Cohen and Peter Noone. Ridiculous has just recorded their debut single Everybody Loves That Girl at Abbey Road Studios.

Reciban un cordial saludo. Desde Cali (Colombia), les habla Sergio Luis López, compartiéndoles un nuevo episodio de "Así la escuché yo..." La intérprete mexicana Yuridia Valenzuela, conocida por todos simplemente como Yuri, grabó en 1984 la canción “Karma Kamaleón”. Este tema musical de Yuri es en realidad una versión al español de la canción éxito de la banda británica Culture Club, incluida en su álbum “Colour by numbers” de 1983, la cual grabaron originalmente en inglés en la voz de su cantante Boy George bajo el título “Karma chameleon”. Así la escuché yo… ¿Y tú, en cuál versión la escuchaste primero?

For our season finale, we're travelling back to the 80s to explore the once top-secret relationship between Culture Club's Boy George and Jon Moss. Thanks to George's memoirs, our eyes have been opened to this deeply complicated love story, but during this episode we discover this story majorly lacked the 'love' part. There's no one we'd rather spend our final episode with than the fabulous curator, party maker and self-professed Boy George aficionado, Glyn Fussell! Not only does Glyn bring the laughs, but he also fills this episode with compassion as we acknowledge the shift in queer culture and representation since the 1980s and the effects of overnight fame. Grainne and Chantal return in September for another series of The Way They Were, but in the meantime, don't be a stranger!

She began singing as a teenager and, after moving to St. Louis, Missouri, immersed herself in the local rhythm-and-blues scene. She met Ike Turner at a performance by his band, the Kings of Rhythm, in 1956, and soon became part of the act. She began performing as Tina Turner, and her electric stage presence quickly made her the centrepiece of the show. The ensemble, which toured as the Ike and Tina Turner Revue, was renowned for its live performances but struggled to find recording success. That changed in 1960, when “A Fool in Love” hit the pop charts, and a string of hit singles followed. Ike and Tina were married in 1962, although the date is subject to some speculation (during the couple's divorce proceedings in 1977, Ike claimed that the two were never legally married). The Phil Spector-produced album River Deep—Mountain High (1966) was a hit in Europe, and its title track is arguably the high point of Spector's “wall of sound” production style, but it sold poorly in the United States. Ike and Tina's final hits as a couple were the cover version of Creedence Clearwater Revival's “Proud Mary” (1971) and “Nutbush City Limits” (1973). Tina divorced Ike in 1978, alleging years of physical abuse and infidelity.

Eric Clapton and Tina Turner Eric Clapton and Tina Turner After a series of guest appearances on the albums of other artists, she released her debut solo album, Private Dancer, in 1984. It was a triumph, both critically and commercially, selling more than 20 million copies worldwide and winning three Grammy Awards, including record of the year and best female vocal performance for “What's Love Got to Do with It.” The single became Turner's signature song. She followed her musical success with a role in the film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985). Later albums included Break Every Rule (1986), Foreign Affair (1989), and Wildest Dreams (1996). Her greatest-hits compilation All the Best was released in 2004. Turner continued touring into the 21st century and also appeared on other artists' albums, notably Herbie Hancock's River: The Joni Letters (2007), a Grammy-winning tribute to Joni Mitchell. After residing in Switzerland for a number of years, Turner became a Swiss citizen in 2013 and shortly thereafter submitted the paperwork to relinquish her U.S. citizenship.

One of golf's most prestigious events, the USPGA, is taking place in Oklahoma. The tournament has come a little too early in the career of 14-year-old Ukrainian Lev Grinberg, but could his name one day be on the trophy? Last week Lev became the second youngest player to make the cut at a professional tournament. We hear from Lev and his dad Illya. It's been a big week for men's football. Jake Daniels, who plays for Blackpool in the second tier of the professional game in England became the first openly gay player in thirty years. The fact that he is the first man in such a long time to come out whilst still playing, highlights just how difficult and challenging it still is for gay men in professional sport. For many different reasons, they can't be their authentic self in a sporting setting. Ryan O'Callaghan had a successful career in the NFL, but despite coming out to his family while still playing, it wasn't until after his retirement he felt comfortable telling the world. He tells us his story. Plus we are live in Turin ahead of the Women's Champions League final. We'll review the Premier League season with Flo Lloyd Hughes and Sachin Nakrani, and find out what referee Jon Moss has planned once he hangs up his whistle for the last time on Sunday.

«The Crying Game» ("El Juego de las lágrimas") es una canción escrita por Geoff Stephens y editada por Dave Berry en julio de 1964. Alcanzó a llegar al puesto número 5 en las listas de popularidad del Reino Unido. George Alan O'Dowd (Londres, 14 de junio de 1961), más conocido como Boy George, es un cantante, músico, diseñador de moda y DJ inglés que alcanzó un alto nivel de fama con su grupo Culture Club en los años 1980. Boy George trabajó en Blitz Club en Great Queen Street, que contaba con Steve Strange como portero y con Boy George como dependiente del guardarropa y donde realizó con Culture Club su primera actuación. George llamó la atención de Malcolm McLaren, un productor que se las arregló para que apareciera como Lieutenant Lush en un concierto de teatro con Annabella Lwin. Aunque el espectáculo de George y Lwin no duró mucho, le presentó a George al DJ anterior Mikey Craig, con quien creó un dúo llamado In praise of Lemmings, con Craig tocando el bajo. Poco después, Jon Moss (batería de The Dammed, Adam and the Ants y Londres, que también fue pareja de Boy George) y Roy Hay formaron Sex Gang Children y finalmente Culture Club. Se caracterizaba principalmente por su aspecto andrógino, con labios y ojos intensamente maquillados y el cabello largo o en trenzas, de hecho, en su debut en el programa Top Of The Pops de la BBC en 1982, la audiencia se preguntaba si era un chico o una chica. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/radioflowok/message

Dale and Mike go through Thursday night's 3-0 win over Aston Villa.The game saw a controversial penalty awarded in Manchester United's favour when Bruno Fernandes was brought down on the edge of the box before converting his spot kick. Mike has a look at the rule book and says Jon Moss made the right decision despite what the Premier League will have you think.Jack Grealish and Tyrone Mings hardly had the best auditions as two players linked with moves to United. We agree that Solskjaer will be put off making a move for either player. Also we think more fans are coming to terms with Grealish not being a necessity this summer. He wouldn't start in the current line-up! Mings, on the other hand, had a dig swung at him by Roy Keane for his defending in the lead up to Mason Greenwood's goal. What a player!Next up is Southampton. Mike gives you reasons to be wary ahead of that game on Monday night (8pm). That means our next podcast will be recorded and uploaded on Tuesday.Thanks for listening and we appreciate your feedback!

En 1979, un periodista musical llamado Nik Cohn escribió un artículo en el New York Magazine titulado: “Los ritos tribales del sábado por la noche”, y en él hablaba de la locura desatada en las pistas de baile los fines de semana. El productor Robert Stigwood, famoso por haber hecho las versiones teatrales de Jesús Christ Superstar y Hair o la película Tommy, adivinó la mina de oro que había en ese mundo. En las calles había crisis, parados y problemas, pero las discotecas eran las burbujas en las que los jóvenes se refugiaban para olvidarlo todo. Así fue como planificó una película que reflejara ese ambiente. Necesitaba un actor y la música. El actor lo encontró en un semidesconocido John Travolta. La música la aportaron los nuevos Bee Gees. Nuevos porque se habían reciclado sabiamente y ya hacían discos claramente discotequeros. Y así fue como nació Tony Manero. Bee Gees Stayin' Alive Travolta había jugado al rugby semiprofesional, estudió baile, hizo anuncios y actuó en la versión teatral de Grease. Su mejor papel lo tuvo en Carrie, una película basada en la novela de Stephen King. Pero a la historia pasará como el gran Tony Manero de Saturday night fever (Fiebre del sábado noche), la película más arrolladora de su tiempo. Su pose con el brazo en alto es ya todo un icono. De esta película es este “How deep is your love”, algo así como “Cuan profundo es tu amor”. Los Bee Gees. Tony Manero es un muchacho neoyorquino italo-estadounidense, que tiene un trabajo intrascendente como dependiente de una tienda de pinturas, pero que se transforma los sábados por la noche bailando en la discoteca Odisea 2001, donde es una estrella. Ahí conoce a Stephanie Mangano, que se convierte en su pareja de baile para participar en un campeonato que se realizará en la discoteca. Él intenta iniciar una relación amorosa, pero ella, con más preparación que él, lo rechaza, a pesar de sentirse atraída, porque sus planes son cambiarse de barrio para buscar mejores oportunidades. No obstante, acepta ser su compañera de baile. Entre otras muchas vicisitudes de la trama, Tony tiene un hermano, Frank que es sacerdote, pero que abandona los hábitos, Tony también tiene su propia pandilla, que mantiene peligrosas disputas con otras pandillas... En fin, conflictos familiares, amorosos y juveniles se entrecruzan para que, algunos, terminen en tragedia. Llega el momento del campeonato de baile y él y su pareja son los ganadores, pero Tony ha madurado y decide que debe tomar una decisión. FIN. Esta película no sólo fue un éxito en taquilla, sino que impulsó el movimiento Disco por todo el mundo. En la película se sugiere un estilo diferente de vivir la vida a través de la cultura Disco, como, sobre todo, la forma de vestir (uso de plataformas, camisas de cuello en V, pantalones de campana) y el baile, e influyó enormemente a la generación de la década de 1970. También destaca el papel de los DJs y los decorados, muy luminosos gracias al uso de la Disco ball, luces estroboscópicas y pistas de luces. De nuevo los Bee Gees, “Night fever”. Y así, mientras en las discotecas la gente bailaba como locos, la música inglesa, siempre imaginativa y pionera, se individualizaba todavía más al acabar los setenta y comenzar los años ochenta. Los new romantics eran los herederos póstumos del Glam: maquillaje, disfraces, color, todo era estético y la música un pop atractivo y comercial. En nuestro repaso rápido por esta época, nos detendremos en unos cuantos grupos de contrastada calidad. Calidad como la tenía OMD, “Maniobras orquestales en la oscuridad” y su éxito “Enola gay”. Uno de los versos de la letra dice: “Enola gay, tenías que haberte quedado ayer en casa” El 24 de octubre de 1980, la banda publicó su segundo álbum de estudio, Organisation, producido por OMD y Mike Howlett. Fue grabado en Adivision Studios en 1980. Este disco continúa con el experimentalismo que los caracterizará en sus primeros trabajos. En Organisation se incluye una de sus canciones más exitosas, el tema antibelicista «Enola Gay», único sencillo del álbum y que ocupa los primeros puestos de las listas durante mucho tiempo, tras su puesta a la venta el 26 de septiembre de 1980. En España alcanzó el nº 2 de los 40 Principales. Sobre sus conciertos en España, declararon: "Cómo la gente canta a voz en grito la melodía de «Enola Gay», algo que no pasa en otros países, y que demuestra que no hace falta saberse la letra para cantar ni saber inglés para comunicarse." Tras el gran éxito de «Enola Gay» y con la banda subida en la cresta de la ola, publican su tercer álbum de estudio, Architecture & Morality, el 8 de noviembre de 1981, que contenía el éxito «Souvenir», sencillo que se publicó el 4 de agosto Otro de los grandes grupos del momento fue Spandau Ballet, una banda británica de los años 80, pioneros del New Romantic que, aunque brevemente, también triunfaron en Estados Unidos. Es curioso el revuelo que se formó a cuenta del nombre del grupo. Spandau es un barrio de Berlín conocido por la Prisión de Spandau, donde se alojó a los condenados tras los Procesos de Núremberg. En pleno apogeo de su éxito, surgió una leyenda urbana, la cual, afirmaba que el grupo tomó su nombre directamente de la prisión y que el significado del "ballet" al que se refiere, era en realidad el efecto de los espasmos de los cuerpos ahorcados en la prisión por los nazis. Al parecer, el controvertido nombre lo propuso el promotor discográfico del quinteto: Robert Elms, quien afirmó que leyó Spandau ballet en una pintada plasmada sobre la pared de unos lavabos de Londres. Aquellas palabras le parecieron "comerciales, misteriosas y pegadizas". Los cinco miembros del grupo, tras consultarles, estuvieron de acuerdo en llamarse así, sin ver mayores problemas. Bueno pues, cierto sector de la prensa les acusó de ser afines a ideologías nazis, sin embargo, los artistas lo negaron rotundamente cuando fueron consultados acerca de la cuestión. Este es uno de sus éxitos: Gold Como casi todos los grupos, por no decir todos, la banda pasó por muchas desavenencias. La mayor dificultad a la que se enfrentaron fue una batalla legal en la que Kemp, cantante y compositor, se enfrentó al resto de componentes del grupo por los derechos de autor de las canciones de Spandau Ballet, unos derechos que finalmente le fueron concedidos por la Justicia en 1999. En 2009 reaparecieron sobre los escenarios, con un disco y una gira, "Reformation Tour", aunque no recuperaron el éxito de antaño, cuando el grupo consiguió ser un fenómeno de fans en Europa. En cualquier caso, el estilo y la clase de este grupo, no deja lugar a dudas. Otro éxito de Spanday Ballet: “True” Duran Duran, con Simon Le Bon de solista y líder de la banda, es un grupo británico de estilo new romantic, cuyo sonido combina básicamente la new wave y el funk, popularizando ese estilo en la década de los 80. Su fama inicialmente estuvo fundada en sus videoclips, en los que mostraban un estilo desenfadado y glamuroso. Fueron una de las bandas con más éxito comercial de los 80, compitiendo cuerpo a cuerpo con Spandau Ballet, así como el grupo líder en la «Segunda Invasión Británica» de los Estados Unidos iniciada por la MTV. Todavía son identificados a veces como una banda con aires de la década de 1980 a pesar de seguir grabando con gran éxito treinta años después El canal por cable MTV y la banda empezaron su andadura casi al mismo tiempo, y cada uno de ellos ayudó a lanzar al otro. La MTV necesitaba videos con artistas carismáticos, y el trabajo videográfico de la banda era una gran influencia - casi revolucionaria - para la cadena. Primero, Duran Duran filmaba en lugares exóticos como Sri Lanka y Antigua, creando imágenes memorables que eran radicalmente opuestas a los videos de bajo presupuesto que se hacían hasta entonces de bandas simplemente tocando sus instrumentos en el escenario. En segundo lugar, en vez de simplemente tocar, la banda participaba en una trama, una narración (a menudo tomadas de películas contemporáneas. Los videos obviamente iban en esta dirección, pero Duran Duran lo hicieron con un estilo que atrajo la atención de los comentaristas de la cadena y que creó una armada de imitadores. También fueron precursores por su estilo de editar los videos y de su diseño gráfico. Además de esto, fueron los primeros en filmar con cámaras de cine de 35mm, en sustitución de las más baratas videocámaras. Así, Duran Duran cambiaron la forma de ver de las discográficas los videoclips y la visión de otras bandas sobre lo que tenían que conseguir de un videoclip. A cambio de esto, la MTV le dio a Duran Duran el acceso al mercado estadounidense, tan reacio a la música británica, New Wave. Pero bueno, no todo el mundo admiraba sus videos. Morrissey, cantante de The Smiths y fan de su música, dijo en una publicación de la revista musical Smash Hits de 1984: "Una cabra borracha sobre la Torre Eiffel podría dirigirle muchos mejores videoclips a Duran Duran". ¿Un poquito de envidia?... Seguramente. The Human League es un grupo británico de música synth pop formado en 1977. Iniciadores de este estilo y pioneros en el uso de los sintetizadores en el Reino Unido, lograron gran popularidad en la década de 1980 después de varios cambios en sus integrantes. El único miembro original de la banda, que continúa hasta la fecha, es el vocalista y compositor Philip Oakey. La agrupación ha continuado grabando álbumes y presentándose en vivo, con un moderado éxito comercial, durante los años 90 y los años 2000. Su mayor éxito lo obtuvieron con la canción “Don’t you ant me”, hoy todo un clásico Culture Club es una banda británica de new romantic que fue muy popular a principios de los años 1980, liderada por Boy George (vocalista), quien se destacaba por su estética glam y sexualmente ambigua; Roy Hay (guitarra), Mike Craig (bajo) y Jon Moss (batería). El sonido de la banda se caracteriza por combinar new wave, pop y soul, con otros estilos como el reggae, calypso, salsa o country. El grupo triunfó en los años 1980 con temas al mismo tiempo sensuales, alegres y creativos, siendo considerados un fenómeno de la música pop. En sus inicios, Boy George creó un gran revuelo en sus apariciones en televisión, por sus maquillajes coloridos, ropa femenina y trenzas con las que se presentaba, mostrando un aspecto inequívocamente travestido. La banda destacó y compitió junto a otros grupos de new romantic como nuestros viejos conocidos Duran Duran o Spandau Ballet. En 1985 aparecen noticias graves para el grupo, ya que el alma de la banda, Boy George, confiesa su adicción a las drogas y, principalmente, a la heroína. Este hecho hace que el trabajo en general de la banda resulte bastante irregular y su calidad descienda enormemente; no obstante lo anterior, el grupo publica el álbum From Luxury To Heartache, con el que intentan redimirse ante sus fans, algo que logran a medias. El disco permanece varias semanas en las listas, pero la sintonía de la banda con su público ya no es la misma. Pocos días después de la publicación del álbum, el teclista Michael Rudetski, que co-escribió y tocó en la canción Sexuality del álbum From Luxury to Heartache, aparece muerto por sobredosis de heroína en la casa de George. Fue el golpe definitivo para la banda, del que no se supo sobreponer y terminó desapareciendo A pesar de todo, en 2018, la banda publica un nuevo álbum de estudio titulado "Life", después de varios años de ausencia, pero el nombre de la banda ha cambiado a "Boy George and Culture Club". Hasta hoy. Y tampoco faltó la habitual banda “maldita”. Joy Division fue una banda de post-punk inglesa, formada en 1976 en Salford, Gran Mánchester y en un principio la banda estuvo formada por Ian Curtis, Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook y Stephen Morris. Joy Division evolucionó de sus influencias punk rock iniciales, para posteriormente desarrollar un sonido y un estilo del cual fue pionero, llamado post-punk, junto con bandas como Siouxsie o The Cure, y es que no solo poseían un sonido siniestro, sino que sus letras estaban obsesionadas con la desesperación y la muerte, todo esto producto, seguramente, de la epilepsia que padecía su vocalista Ian Curtis. El álbum debut de Joy Division, Unknown Pleasures, fue lanzado en el sello discográfico Factory Records, y provocó la aclamación de la crítica británica. El vocalista, Ian Curtis, fue afectado por la depresión y por problemas personales, incluyendo la disolución de su matrimonio y sus agudas crisis de epilepsia. Lo cierto es que Curtis encontraba cada vez más difícil presentarse en vivo y a menudo tenía convulsiones durante sus espectáculos. En mayo de 1980, en la víspera de la primera gira de la banda por los Estados Unidos, Ian Curtis, abrumado por sus problemas, se suicidó ahorcándose en la cocina de su casa, mientras escuchaba el disco The Idiot de Iggy Pop. Joy Division lanzó póstumamente su segundo álbum, titulado Closer (1980) y el sencillo «Love Will Tear Us Apart», se convirtió en su lanzamiento más exitoso en los rankings. Después de la muerte de Curtis, los miembros restantes de la banda formaron un nuevo grupo al que llamaron New Order. Y por hoy nada más. Nos hemos dejado para un próximo programa a muchos más artistas de entre los que destacan dos de los mejores grupos de la época: Simple Minds y Depeche Mod. Lo dicho, nos oímos la próxima semana. Hasta entonces… ¡!!BUENAS VIBRACIONES¡¡¡
En 1979, un periodista musical llamado Nik Cohn escribió un artículo en el New York Magazine titulado: “Los ritos tribales del sábado por la noche”, y en él hablaba de la locura desatada en las pistas de baile los fines de semana. El productor Robert Stigwood, famoso por haber hecho las versiones teatrales de Jesús Christ Superstar y Hair o la película Tommy, adivinó la mina de oro que había en ese mundo. En las calles había crisis, parados y problemas, pero las discotecas eran las burbujas en las que los jóvenes se refugiaban para olvidarlo todo. Así fue como planificó una película que reflejara ese ambiente. Necesitaba un actor y la música. El actor lo encontró en un semidesconocido John Travolta. La música la aportaron los nuevos Bee Gees. Nuevos porque se habían reciclado sabiamente y ya hacían discos claramente discotequeros. Y así fue como nació Tony Manero. Bee Gees Stayin' Alive Travolta había jugado al rugby semiprofesional, estudió baile, hizo anuncios y actuó en la versión teatral de Grease. Su mejor papel lo tuvo en Carrie, una película basada en la novela de Stephen King. Pero a la historia pasará como el gran Tony Manero de Saturday night fever (Fiebre del sábado noche), la película más arrolladora de su tiempo. Su pose con el brazo en alto es ya todo un icono. De esta película es este “How deep is your love”, algo así como “Cuan profundo es tu amor”. Los Bee Gees. Tony Manero es un muchacho neoyorquino italo-estadounidense, que tiene un trabajo intrascendente como dependiente de una tienda de pinturas, pero que se transforma los sábados por la noche bailando en la discoteca Odisea 2001, donde es una estrella. Ahí conoce a Stephanie Mangano, que se convierte en su pareja de baile para participar en un campeonato que se realizará en la discoteca. Él intenta iniciar una relación amorosa, pero ella, con más preparación que él, lo rechaza, a pesar de sentirse atraída, porque sus planes son cambiarse de barrio para buscar mejores oportunidades. No obstante, acepta ser su compañera de baile. Entre otras muchas vicisitudes de la trama, Tony tiene un hermano, Frank que es sacerdote, pero que abandona los hábitos, Tony también tiene su propia pandilla, que mantiene peligrosas disputas con otras pandillas... En fin, conflictos familiares, amorosos y juveniles se entrecruzan para que, algunos, terminen en tragedia. Llega el momento del campeonato de baile y él y su pareja son los ganadores, pero Tony ha madurado y decide que debe tomar una decisión. FIN.

The New Premier League Season is back! We look at the hopes and fears of fans from around the world and hear from Arsenal fans in Zimbabwe to West Ham Fans in Argentina and beyond! Caroline Barker is joined by Emily Dean, author, broadcaster and Arsenal fan. Alongside Emily is the Liverpool supporting Sport's Editor of the Guardian newspaper Sachin Nakrani. This week we have also stumbled upon a footballing revelation; even Premier League referees are human! We'd always been a little unsure. They rarely show emotion and have you ever heard one speak? Then we met Jon Moss. Turns out that once his whistle is hung up after a game his passion is music. So much so that he’s opened a record shop in the heart Headingley, the heavily student area of Leeds. Sportshour's Joel Hammer spent an hour or so sipping coffee and talking music, almost forgetting he was a Premier League referee. Sporting Witness is a fascinating tale of a footballer who has had possibly the most impact on the Premier League but who never played in it and likelihood you've never heard of him... this week our Sporting Witness is Jon Marc Bosman the man who changed the transfer system forever.

Everton’s 2-1 defeat to Man Utd dominates the first half of this week’s fan podcast. The second half topic of debate then turns to the recent stadium announcement and how the fans feel about the readjusted timeline of completion for Bramley-Moore.The focus starts out with Everton’s performance at Old Traffird but quickly turns to Sunday evening’s level of officiating. It’s fair to say the guests on this week’s show don’t hold back on Jon Moss and his decision to award a penalty following Idrissa Gueye’s challenge on Anthony Martial.View from the Gwladys Street is brought to you by host, Ian Croll and guests Rob Astell, Lee Molton and Mark Crotty who provide reaction and debate to all of the above as well as opinion on individual performances from Theo Walcott and Seamus Coleman.This one is certainly worth a listen.

Not quite how we were hoping to cap off the weekend. A respectable away performance from the boys in blue was overshadowed by some shocking decisions from Jon Moss (aka 12th man for whichever top 6 side plays Everton) and a neat little finish from Anthony Martial just after half. In this episode we break down the match, and look to take positives from some strong individual showings in midfield and defense.
Saints were painfully close to taking all three points on Saturday at Goodison Park. After taking the lead through a well worked team goal finished off by Nathan Redmond at the back post, Saints took the 1-0 lead into stoppage time, though they were light a man after Yoshida was sent off for picking up a second yellow in the 85th minute. Even after McCarthy made a spectacular save to deny Leighton Baines from a central free kick, John Moss let stoppage time enter the 6th minute of the 4 (no, that’s not an error), and, with the last kick of the match, Tom Davies’ effort from the top of the box took a deflection off of Wesley Hoedt and past an already committed McCarthy. The draw pulled Saints out of the relegation zone and puts all the pressure and focus on Tuesday night’s clash with Swansea and the Liberty Stadium. Harry Holder (@nadaIesque on Twitter), admin for @TheSaintsReport, joined me to discuss the match and how the other results affect Saints standing in the table.

Please enjoy our recent episode of the Seeds of Liberty Podcast. This week we were joined by Jon Moss, an anarchist and unschooling father. Herein we discussed what led Jon down the path of unschooling, how even kindergarten in government schools is overly oppressive, corrupting the youth with the truth, the benefits of unschooling/homeschooling, how most children thrive in self-learning scenarios, whether or not college is "worth it", the myth of socialization in government schools, the destructive side of teacher tenure, how the government school system stifles good teachers and protects the bad, teachers unions, how learning is stifled through regimentation, online learning, and more! “The plain fact is that education is itself a form of propaganda - a deliberate scheme to outfit the pupil, not with the capacity to weigh ideas, but with a simple appetite for gulping ideas ready-made. The aim is to make 'good' citizens, which is to say, docile and uninquisitive citizens.” ~ H.L.

Falling Rain - Celebrate the Nun Notes and other random things: You might be wondering what's up with the cake pic. Well, considering it says Happy Birthday it should be pretty obvious: it's almost Memorial Day here in the U.S. That has nothing to do with the cake, but I just thought I'd point that out. Really, it occurred to me this week that at the time of my last podcast it was almost exactly one year ago that I began CRC. One year ... hard to believe that much time has elapsed. It seems like just yesterday that today was called tomorrow. You know what they say about time ... that's it's lost a pretty big market share to Newsweek over the past decade. Really though, it apparently sprouts wings and floats about when you're having fun. And doing this show has been a blast thus far. Sure, it took awhile to get the recording process down. And it takes effort to try to come up with totally fresh episodes each week. And sometimes my joints ache when the weather is bad. That last one has nothing to do with the podcast, but it shows you my dedication and the lengths I'll go to get some great music to you, my listeners. And speaking of listeners, had anyone told me when I started this thing that a guy with a cheap mixer, sizeable retro music collection, faulty joints, inability to do short write-ups and a dream could record a retro mix 'cast from his media room in Charlotte, NC and be listened to in 71 countries around the globe, I would have told them I'm hungry. But after I got some food, I would have said that he or she was crazy. I want to personally thank each and every one of you for sticking with me this far, but that would take an awfully long time, so I'll just have to do it in this mass message. I hope you'll continue to come along for the ride for as long as I'm willing and able to do this podcast. How long will that be? Well, I admit I can't see into the future ... at least not very far. I do know I will be having a bowl of Lucky Charms at some point in the next half-hour, but other than that, my powers of saying sooth are not all that good. But, with a little luck, some effort on my part to shirk my other responsibilities, and a good comb I hope I'll be celebrating a second anniversary with you all around this time next year. I think I'm going to skip the band write-ups for this week, though I may cover one or two of these bands over the weekend, since they are making their first appearances on CRC. I just had so much else to write and the pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, green clovers and blue diamonds are calling my name. Oh, and I'm about to go get a bowl of Lucky Charms too. Cheers to all of you and thank you so much for listening! You all are the best! Addendum: I mentioned that I would probably write a bit about some of the bands in this episode because they made their first appearances in CRC. Well, here it is! I'll start with Culture Club. Now, you'd have to be very, very young or living in a very remote cave not to know or have heard about Boy George. Granted, those of you who are very young may only remember images of George O'Dowd in an orange jumpsuit sweeping up rubbish on the streets of New York as part of a community service arrangement in regard to drug charges and a false burglary charge. Many of you will remember the crazy outfits and androgynous appearance of the flamboyant lead singer during the group's heyday. What you may not know, aside from the handful of singles and MTV success in the mid-80s, is that the band were really a talented collective of musicians and had a lot of soul about them. The track here, White Boy, is evidence of that. The song was the first single released by the band, though it was a commercial disappointment despite heavy radio play. That fact doesn't make it any less amazing or addictive. As the story goes, Jon Moss, the drummer of the band, paid a visit to producer Steve Levine and John Howard in 1982 with a demo tape of three songs, including White Boy. Howard immediately pinpointed the track as the standout of the bunch and it was released three months later. If you've ever heard any of CC's early work, you would agree that the track has something about it ... a groove, a lyrical smoothness, a catchy chant-type chorus ala Nitzer Ebb's Join in the Chant - something that sets it apart. So, it was a bit of a shock that the track didn't do better upon its release. A second single, I'm Afraid of Me, was received even more poorly than the first. However, it was the appearance of graffiti on walls around London, stuff like "Culture Club Rule OK" that convinced Howard there was something abuzz about the band. Howard had seen the same thing a year or two earlier with Adam Ant on the heels of a few of their disappointing first singles. The CC camp felt that they just needed to release the "right track" and the dominoes would all fall into place. Interestingly enough, that track would end up being Do You Really Want to Hurt Me, interesting because it was originally added to the their first album Kissing to be Clever as filler material. Crazy how things work sometimes. T42 have appeared on CRC once before, the Thanksgiving episode to be precise, but I have to give a shout out to these guys from Texas as they were one of many Dallas/Ft. Worth bands on the rise during my college days. Jay Gillian and Will Loconto were the prime movers of this duo and they released a handful of catchy, electronic jingles that can still motivate dance floors today. The song here, Desire, was produced by Paul Robb from Information Society and became their biggest hit. I vaguely recall going to a record release party for the song. Seems like they played the track just about every hour or half hour in support and while that would seem like overkill, it's just not a song of which you can tire easily. It's one beautiful pop gem. I want to mention Cetu Javu briefly. If you recall, they are the German band of Spanish heritage who sang the bulk of their tracks in English. They also have appeared on CRC several times in the past, but the track here, Adonde, is an example of their Spanish-influenced electronic pop. The orignal version of the song appeared on the fantastic album Southern Lands. While you can still find the first issue of the album floating around, it was reissued a few years back. If you're a fan of electronic pop music, Southern Lands is a must-have. It's solid from start to finish and includes perhaps their two biggest hits, Situation, which appeared on CRC #1 and Have in Mind, which appeared on CRC #7. Finally, I want to mention Elektric Music. If the studio wizardry and bizarre sampling seems remotely familiar then you are probably a Kraftwerk fan. Elektric Music is a not-so-side project of Karl Bartos, the percussionist portion of the classic four-man Kraftwerk lineup. The band was founded in 1992 when Bartos became a little frustrated at the tortoise-like pace Ralf Hutter and Florian Schneider, both founding members of Kraftwerk, had adopted in the studio. Their perfectionist tendencies spurred Bartos to branch out and do his own thing. The track here, Lifestyle, is the fourth track on EM's debut album, Esperanto. My favorite track, TV, which leads off the album is a song I'm dying to include in one of these episodes, but the BPMs are so low that it is going to be a bit of a challenge. Perhaps I'll figure out how to include it in one of my Mixtape episodes. Anyway, Bartos has worked closely with Bernard Sumner (vocalist from New Order) and Johnny Marr (former guitarist for The Smiths and The The), penning songs for the duo's Electronic project and their second full-length album, Raise the Pressure, which was released in 1996. Bartos has also worked with OMD's Andy McCluskey. Their collaborative efforts can be found on the OMD album Universal and on the songs Show Business and Kissing the Machine, both from Elektric Music's Esperanto album. For tech junkies, you might be interested to know that Karl Bartos released an iPhone app called Mini-Composer in March of this year. It's a rudimentary 16-steps sequencer with 4 basic waves synthesizer. It was designed with the help of Japanese artist Masayuki Akamatsu and executive producer Jean-Marc Lederman. Again, thanks to everyone for listening. I'll be back with another episode really soon. Hang tight!
