My guest this week is Lauren Frihauf. "A rising star in the music industry whose talent was featured in NPR Music's 2022 Tiny Desk 'Top Shelf' and showcased her vocal prowess on Season 19 of NBC's "The Voice," where she impressed on Teams Gwen and Legend, making it to the Knockout Rounds. In 2021, when her promising neo-soul duo project came to a halt before its album, “The Latona EP”, was released, Frihauf found her calendar cleared at a time when most musicians were getting back to touring. Previously putting words to melodies created with collaborators, she was alone, lost, and experiencing the emotional turmoil of entering adulthood after the covid pandemic. From the beginning, her vocal style has been influenced by Nai Palm of Hiatus Kaiyote, whose records she knows, "inside and out". As she began her quest to identify who she was as a solo artist, Frihauf shifted her focus from keys to guitar, which she found to be liberating. Learning to play, “Cactus Tree”, by Joni Mitchell, proved pivotal: she became obsessed with open D tuning. Frihauf now refers to herself as a "Neo-Folker". Her music carries an indie singer-songwriter essence, infused with folk and neo-soul elements, creating a captivating and unique sonic landscape. Her songwriting delves into authentic themes that resonate deeply with listeners. Surprisingly, Lauren's urban vibe stands in stark contrast to the rural farm where she was born and raised, adding an intriguing dimension to her artistry" (laurenfrihaufmusic.com).

In this much-anticipated interview (at least by me), humorist and journalist Henry Alford joins me to discuss his recent bestselling book I Dream Of Joni: A Portrait of Joni Mitchell in 53 Snapshots. In a Joni nerd-off that may be unrivaled in podcast history, Henry and I talk about his research and reporting for this book, what he learned about Mitchell's contradictions and complexities, why he thinks she might be on the autism spectrum, and, above all, why Mitchell's music holds such a profound place in so many people's emotional and even intellectual lives. GUEST BIO Henry Alford is a humorist and journalist who has contributed to the New Yorker since 1998. He is the author of seven books, including Big Kiss, which won a Thurber Prize, and the recent I Dream of Joni: A Portrait of Joni Mitchell in 53 Snapshots, a national bestseller.

“My dad looked at me [from his deathbed] and said, ‘It just went so fast.' I asked what did, and he said, ‘Life.' That moment changed everything—I knew I had to write the book.” — Jennifer Griffith On this special Mother's Day episode of Uncorking a Story, I sit down with Jennifer Griffith—host of About Your Mother and author of Both Sides of Then—to talk about motherhood, grief, generational trauma, and the stories that define us. Inspired by a powerful moment with her father just before he passed, Jennifer shares how her memoir became a way to heal, understand, and ultimately honor her family's complicated legacy. Whether you're a mom, missing a mom, or just reflecting on your own family story today, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways: Legacy begins with truth. Jennifer didn't commit to writing her memoir until after her father's deathbed revelation reminded her that life is short—and stories left untold weigh heavy. You don't just inherit genetics—you inherit silence. Her family's secrets around adoption and emotional distance shaped Jennifer's childhood, and writing helped her unpack what was passed down. Grief offers unexpected clarity. Being present at the end of her father's life allowed her to see that, ultimately, all we take with us is love. That perspective now anchors her work and parenting. Writing in her mother's voice was an act of empathy. Jennifer wrote parts of the book in her mom's first-person perspective, discovering parallels between their lives—and healing some old wounds along the way. Everyone has a story, even if it doesn't feel big. It wasn't until an editor pushed her that Jennifer realized her life story—outside of her mom's—also deserved space on the page. Understanding your parents helps you understand yourself. Writing helped her reframe childhood pain through a compassionate lens, realizing her parents were doing the best they could with what they had. The why is everything. Jennifer's driving force was releasing her mom from the shame of relinquishment—and giving voice to millions of women who were told to forget their pain. Art finds its way home. After naming her book Both Sides of Then—a nod to Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now—Jennifer wrote a heartfelt letter to Joni explaining how the song inspired her. Months later, she learned it moved Joni to tears, proving that when you create with heart, your work has a way of reaching the people who helped shape it.

John Kelly and Paul Lisicky on storytelling, subversion, and a voice that still breaks our hearts—Joni Mitchell.

In this episode, we dive into Meghan Markle's most revealing moments from her Confessions of a Female Founder podcast.From hearing Joni Mitchell in her head every time she lands in L.A., to her turmeric latte-fuelled investment in Clevr Blends, the Duchess shares what drives her as a businesswoman, mother, and partner. We explore how she's building her brand As Ever, navigating self-doubt, embracing adaptogens, and leaning on her “Dolphin Tank” of supportive female founders. Plus, a rare glimpse into her life with Prince Harry — or as she puts it, her very own Super Mario dragon-slaying hero.Meghan touched on her own health journey and belief in holistic wellness. “I think a lot of people when they hear mushrooms, they go ‘OK, she's talking about being hippie-dippy, grounded in all these things'. If you aren't familiar with adaptogens, you can go to this place of ‘Oh, it's feeling a little psychedelic and super woo-woo'.”“During my pregnancies, I had an Ayurvedic doctor and so much of it was about seeing food as medicine.”“So there are these items and ingredients that have been part of our natural ecosystem and dietary system for a long time, whether acknowledged or not, that somehow you say mushrooms, and now people have a connotation attached to it.”“But it's really just a food trend that I believe you were far ahead of in terms of saying, ‘Hold on, these have properties that can in some way make you feel differently in a really safe way'.”Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Many mark the start of the singer-songwriter genre to have begun when Carole King released her second studio album, the iconic Tapestry. As would be expected from a singer-songwriter, all of the songs on the album were either written or co-written by King. Tapestry is considered one of the greatest albums of all time in the soft rock genre.Born Carol Joan Klein in Manhattan, King began piano lessons at four years of age. Her upbringing included friendship with Paul Simon and dating Neil Sedaka. In the 50's at the age of 17 she met and married Jerry Goffin with whom she would team up on songwriting through the 60's - King writing the music and Goffin writing the lyrics. They had several successful songs during the 60's including "Pleasant Valley Sunday" (The Monkees), "I'm Into Something Good" (Herman's Hermits), and "Up On the Roof" (the Drifters). King and Goffin divorced by 1968, and King moved to Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles to re-start her recording career.Tapestry features both new and old songs of Carole King's catalog. Several new friends from the Laurel Canyon area appear on the album, including James Taylor and Joni Mitchell. Fellow songwriter Toni Stern co-wrote two of the songs, including the hit "It's Too Late."The album was a hit, spending 313 weeks on the Billboard Charts (second only to "Dark Side of the Moon" in time on the chart). It also was a critical success, taking the Grammy for Album of the Year at the 1972 Grammy awards. King announced her retirement from music in May 2012, but has done a few things since then, including a live performance of Tapestry in Hyde Park in 2016. Friend of the show Greg Lyon sits in for Wayne while Bruce presents this soft rock album for this week's podcast.TapestryThe title track to the album is a look back on life as a colorful combination of threads woven into a picture or pattern, but not one intended to last. This is a deeper cut which was not released as a single.Where You LeadSeveral songs became hits for other artists while the album was still on the charts, including this one. Barbara Streisand recorded this song for her 1971 album, and it reached number 40. The song takes its inspiration from the book of Ruth in the Bible. It was also the theme song for the television series "Gilmore Girls." Toni Stern collaborated with King to write this song. You've Got a FriendThis is another song which became a hit for another artist. James Taylor did this on his 1971 album, "Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon," making it to number 1 on the US charts. The two albums were being produced concurrently, and Taylor, Joni Mitchell, and Danny Kortchmar perform on both King's version and on Taylor's version. King has said the song is a response to the line in James Taylor's "Fire and Rain" which says "I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend." So Far AwayJames Taylor is on acoustic guitar for this piece, and King is on piano. It went to number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was on the charts in September 1971. It starts with a focus on the physical distance between lovers, then moves on to emotional distance. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the serial Danger Island (from the television series “The Banana Splits Adventure Hour”) This live action 10-minute adventure short appeared as a part of "The Banana Splits Adventure Hour," which concluded this month. STAFF PICKS:Ain't No Sunshine by Bill WithersLynch leads off the staff picks with Withers' breakthrough single from his debut album, "Just As I Am." The inspiration for this song was the 1962 film "Days of Wine and Roses," which portrays two characters who were alcoholics. The idea is that someone may not be right for you, but you miss them regardless. Signs by Five Man Electrical Band"And the sign said 'long haired freaky people need not apply!" Rob brings us a signature song from a Canadian band. The song originally appeared as a B-side to a less successful song called "Hello Melinda Goodbye," but became successful on its own. Frontman Les Emerson wrote this song after seeing so many billboards in Los Angeles which obscured the natural scenery.Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get by The DramaticsGreg features the title song from the debut album of R&B group The Dramatics. This song contrasting the fakeness of people with the authenticity of the singer went to number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 3 on the R&B chart. It fuses a Motown feel with a Latin undertone.Thin Line Between Love and Hate by The PersuadersBruce brings us a cautionary tale about a guy who comes home late at night, finding his girl smiling and ready to cook him some dinner. He learns his lesson when he wakes up in the hospital, beaten to within an inch of his life. This song by a New York R&B group made it to number 15 on the US charts. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:The Rock by Atomic RoosterWe close out with an instrumental from a British rock band originally co-formed by prog rock organist Vincent Crane and percussionist Carl Palmer.

Der er pyntet helt særligt op i denne udgave af Turbinens Artist Talk i anledning af Simone Tangs besøg, da hun har medbragt en hyggelig kolonihaveagtig scenografi komplet med mormorgardiner, levende lys og et bord dækket til samtale. Simone Tang er stadig et forholdsvist ubeskrevet blad i eget navn, men hendes musik har allerede vakt opsigt. I denne snak med Michael Gonzalez fortæller hun om vejen til debutalbummet, som blev til i tæt samarbejde med Søren Manscher, og hvordan ønsket om analoge optagelser og et lo-fi-udtryk blev en slags protest mod den perfekte digitale lyd. Hun afslører, hvordan en gammel båndoptager og inspiration fra bl.a. Elizabeth Cotten og Joni Mitchell har været med til at forme hendes særlige lyd.Der bliver også plads til refleksioner over det engelske versus danske sprog i sangskrivningen, hendes barndomsdrøm om at deltage i børne-MGP, og hvorfor det faktisk er helt okay ikke at være teknisk perfekt – bare man har noget personligt på spil. Hør også om samarbejdet med Ki! og Ida Laurberg, om Suzuki Splash'en der nu fungerer som rullende scenografi-lager, og om hvordan skuespillererfaringen smitter af på musikformidlingen.Simone Tang deler afslutningsvis sine drømmeduetter – både med legender som afdøde Rodriguez og Joni Mitchell og Paul Simon – og giver sit bud på det bedste råd, hun har fået i musikkens verden: Find din kerne, og resten skal nok følge med.Denne Artist Talk er optaget 26. marts 2025. Interview udført og tilrettelagt af Michael Gonzalez. Redigeret af: Jakob Meinert. Redaktør: Jeanne Tost. Produceret af Spillestedet Turbinen, 2025.Tak fordi du lyttede med – vi håber, vi ses på Turbinen i Randers!Del gerne dine liveoplevelser med os på vores Instagramprofil & på vores Facebookside

Haley Fohr, who performs as Circuit des Yeux, is known for her hauntingly powerful voice and immersive, genre-defying sound. As Pitchfork put it, her voice is “a force of nature” that “pulses with raw emotion.” Her album -io, was hailed by The New York Times as “a deeply evocative exploration of loss, identity, and the self.” With a career marked by boundary-pushing work, Haley continues to redefine what it means to create music that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. Her newest record, Halo on the Inside, was commended by The Quietus for its "immaculately crafted" tracks, particularly "Truth," which "recalls the rave from The Matrix in its endearing camp and undeniable swagger." In this episode, she talks about how songs by The Stooges, Sly and the Family Stone, and Joni Mitchell shaped her sensibilities. Halo on the Inside was released by Matador on March 14, 2025.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ahead of the dreamy indie icons' return to Australia, founding member and vocalist Rachel Goswell shares songs by performers who have inspired her to take to the stage, from ABBA to Joni Mitchell.
French-American musician and composer Zoé Basha released her debut album Gamble on April 17. Blending storytelling traditions, Appalachian mountain songs, Irish traditional music, and American blues and ragtime, the album is a woozy melange. We talk about her life journey, travelling around the US, joining the Occupy San Francisco protests, moving to Dingle, Dublin, France to learn traditional French timber framing, and back to Ireland. Throughout it all, there's music, though she did fall out of love with it for a while before Rufous Nightjar started up with Anna Mieke and Branwen Kavanagh. And now comes her debut solo album Gamble. From the press release: Zoé's debut is an intimate exploration of identity, grief, the deconstructing of societal norms, and the complexities of human connection, all delivered with a mesmerising voice that echoes the vulnerability and depth of her diverse influences. Inspired by the greats of times passed such as Billie Holiday, The Mills Brothers, Jimmie Rodgers, Joni Mitchell, Texas Gladden, Edith Piaf and The Steve Miller Band– as well as her peers in the Irish folk music scene, Zoé Basha savours the sounds of golden eras with contemporary nuance and shameless honesty. Zoé Basha tour dates: April 24: De Burgos Club, Galway April 25: The Glens Centre, Manorhamilton, Leitrim April 26: The Duncairn, Belfast April 27: The Record Room, Limerick May 1: Fennelly's of Callan, Kilkenny May 2: Bray Jazz Fest, Wicklow May 3: The Crane Lane Theatre, Cork May 4: Blennerville, Tralee, Co.

Pop liquide et folk et déclaration d'amour à Joni Mitchell.

Introduction
Some of you may not know this about me, but I'm a musician and an artist.I always loved art as a kid—from finger painting in my blue smock at my Little Tikes easel to coloring and tracing to the pastel class I took one summer. For a while, my answer to the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” was “An artist or illustrator.”Music was always there, too—singing and playing the piano, learning letter names as I learned the alphabet, and later, accompanying, teaching, performing, and arranging.At some point, I set art aside to focus on music. I still did craft projects from time to time, but I didn't consider myself an artist.Then, during the pandemic, I found myself drawn to it again. In between online lessons, baking Jim Lahey's No-Knead Bread, and reading through Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words, I watched online painting tutorials. I practiced mixing colors in an art app on my iPad. I ordered supplies and started painting tiny acrylic landscapes.Now, five years later, I have a dedicated art table in my home office. I have a somewhat regular artistic practice alongside my music work. I've found that painting is a different facet of my creativity, a new form of artistic expression. And I have to say, it makes me come alive—to embrace my creativity as a whole, to invest in multiple aspects of my creative self at once.And I'm not the only one. From Felix Mendelssohn to Arnold Schoenberg, Joni Mitchell to Miles Davis, many musicians have found painting to be another form of artistic expression that complements and informs their musical side.In this episode, I'm exploring what art is teaching me about music. Whether you consider yourself an artist or not, I hope this inspires you to think about all the different facets of your creative self—and how to embrace them in your work.For show notes + a full transcript, click here.Resources Mentioned*Disclosure: I get commissions for purchases made through some of these links.Songs Without Words (Mendelssohn)On the Spiritual in Art (1910) (Kandinsky)Pictures At an Exhibition (Mussorgsky)Clair de Lune (Debussy)“October,” Lyric Preludes (Gillock)Piano Mastery (1915) (Brower)“Waltz for Miles,” Portraits in Jazz (Capers)“Rainbow Colors,” Piano Safari Repertoire 2 (Hague)Prelude in C, Op. 11, No. 1 (Scriabin)My artistic processDaily Rituals: How Artists Work (Mason Currey)Join the Musician & Co.

In this milestone 404th episode of Friends Talking Nerdy, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd turn the dial up on personal playlists, march into activism, and spin a classic album in a brand‑new segment. Join them as they explore the music that moves them, the protest that galvanized them, and the songwriting that still surprises them—only on Friends Talking Nerdy.1. Five Songs for the Soundtrack of Our LivesWhat songs would you choose if you could score every moment of your existence? Aubrey and Tim each pick five anthems that capture joy, heartbreak, rebellion, and introspection—and then debate which track best embodies each phase of their life. Their shortlist includes indie classics like “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out” (The Smiths) and deep‑cut gems such as “Misunderstood” (Pete Townshend), alongside rock staples like “Start Me Up” (The Rolling Stones), rap anthems like “Lose Yourself To Dance” (Daft Punk) and “8 Mile” (Eminem), and more. They share the stories behind each choice—first concerts, late‑night revelations, and that one song that still gives them goosebumps.2. Professor Aubrey on the “Tesla Takedown”From lecture halls to picket lines, Professor Aubrey gives a firsthand account of joining the “Tesla Takedown” protests against Elon Musk. She breaks down what sparked her outrage, the coalition she helped build, and the surprising moments of solidarity she found among fellow activists. Expect insider anecdotes about sign‑making, media soundbites, and why she believes public pressure can reshape the future of tech leadership.3. Tim's Tremendous Tapes: Joni Mitchell's BlueIn the debut of his new segment, Tim's Tremendous Tapes, Tim dives deep into Joni Mitchell's 1971 masterpiece Blue. He unpacks why “River” steals the show, and why “The Last Time I Saw Richard” didn't work for him. Tim reveals how Blue taught him about vulnerability, songwriting craft, and the power of a perfectly placed chord change.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song. Head to his website for information on how to purchase his EP, Here's To You, which is available on all digital platforms.Head to Friends Talking Nerdy's website for more information on where to find us online.
Joni Mitchell's rich, colorful altered-tuning chord voicings have set her work apart in its own musical universe, where the rest of us guitarists either scratch our heads in wonder or have to do dissertation-level research to unpack just how she gets her sound. Dawes guitarist and songwriter Taylor Goldsmith gained firsthand experience with Mitchell's songs when he joined her on stage—just check out 2022's “Joni Jam” from the Newport Folk Festival, which also included Brandi Carlile, Blake Mills, Jon Batiste, and others.Goldsmith joins us on this episode of the 100 Guitarists podcast. Together, we talk about Mitchell's chord voicings and progressions, her tunings, what it's like to share a stage with her, and Goldsmith wonders: Was Bob Dylan's “Tangled Up in Blue” a nod to the songwriter's 1971 album?When we wrap up our conversation, we cover a new release of energetic, forward-leaning guitar cumbia by Los Pirañas and an album of Bach Partitas for Telecaster by guitarist Noel Johnston.Check out the L.R.

On this week's podcast, we hear all about the fascinating world of dulcimers with Joellen Lapidus, the builder behind the dulcimer used on Joni Mitchell's Blue album. Joellen has also sold instruments to David Crosby, Garth Hudson, Jackson Browne, and even Harry Styles. https://www.lapidusmusic.com/home During our chat, we hear about how an entire generation of 1960s dulcimer makers based their design on a Richard Farina album cover as their blueprint (and how varied the results were); the early days of California's Esalen Institute and its influence on Joellen; the evolution of the instrument (from cardboard construction to high-end); and so much more. It's a revelatory conversation about a distinctly American instrument. As Joellen puts it, “The dulcimer is an untamed animal.” This week's show is sponsored by: Stringjoy Strings: https://stringjoy.com (Use the code FRETBOARD to save 10% off your first order) Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar: https://mmguitarbar.com Peghead Nation: https://www.pegheadnation.com (Get your first month free or $20 off any annual subscription with the promo code FRETBOARD at checkout). https://fretboardsummit.org/ https://www.fretboardjournal.com
We caught up with Rita Bliss while she was working hard in Dallas! We chatted about her recent release “Peaches and Apple Pies,” her monthly residency at Batch Brewing and Kolaches in Austin, TX and finding family at ‘the best bar in Texas.' Rita Bliss is a folk musician from Rochester, New York and is now based in Austin Texas. Though a Rust Belt native, Rita's melodies are rooted in familiar old-time banjo sounds that evoke travels along the backroads of the South. Influenced by John Prine, Joni Mitchell, and Nanci Griffith,Rita's songwriting weaves together timeless love stories with long drives, porch gatherings, and letters between loved ones. The love stories are unabashedly queer, the porch gatherings are sometimes rowdy, and the conversations often touch on true-to-life mental health challenges.

Rhino Records has 47—yes, 47—releases coming out on Record Store Day (April 12), but that's not all that's been keeping Rhino Senior A&R Director Patrick Milligan busy. The Rhino High Fidelity series, which he oversees, has taken off, with recent Doors and Black Sabbath releases selling out quickly. He also launched the less expensive, still-all-analog Rhino Reserve series with albums from Allen Toussaint and Eddie Hazel. How does the label choose the titles for each series? How did it come up with 47 RSD releases, including live sets from Joni Mitchell, David Bowie, Talking Heads, Yes and the Grateful Dead? Why on earth is one of these releases a 12-inch picture-disc single of “We Built This City”? Is it better to press too many of an album or too few? Is the vinyl market still on the rise, or has it plateaued? Milligan bats around these questions and more.

The Prism of America's Education with Host Karen Schoen – I don't know how many of you remember the lyrics of this Joni Mitchell song, "Big Yellow Taxi," circa 1969. Read the lyrics, and they are so true today. Our RINO legislators have determined that the people can no longer decide the zoning and construction regulations in their community. So they are busy writing bills that all have the same phrase: "Prohibits Counties..."

The super-trouper of scrutiny scans this week's events and lands upon … … the man who's played on 21,000 records. … how Joni Mitchell is still stirring it up aged 81 and why we love her for it. ... the impact of the stadium circuit on rock festivals. … the longest-surviving group in the world – bowing out at Glastonbury after 66 years! … “fake indignation” on social media. … the 40th anniversary of Dead Or Alive's stunning You Spin Me Round (Like A Record). … the most unlikely looking person to have ever become a rock star. … the serial winner of the Bass Player Who Most Resembles An Old Testament Prophet contest. … why a record untouched for four decades – eg Day Of Radiance by electronic zither master Laraaji - seems to have matured like a fine wine. … how Donna Summer's I Feel Love was a new kind of music, one that made you one want endless repetition rather than change. … “Kevin Ayers drank a pint of Pernod then drove me down a mountain”.

This week on the Rockonteurs podcast, we are delighted to welcome a true legend to the show. Musician, singer and songwriter Graham Nash. It's impossible to understate his impact on the music we love and the influence he has had on us and so many others. We could do a whole episode on his time with The Hollies, let alone Crosby, Stills and Nash and another on Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. With tales that stretch from Manchester to Laurel Canyon, from Mama Cass to Joni Mitchell, from David Gilmour to Graham Gouldman. This is a special one. Graham is touring the UK in October and you can find out more at: www.grahamnash.com/tourInstagram @rockonteurs @officialgrahamnash @guyprattofficial @garyjkemp @gimmesugarproductionsEmail us at: rockonteurschannel@gmail.comListen to the podcast and watch some of our latest episodes, including the recent Bryan Ferry show on our Rockonteurs YouTube channel.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rockonteursFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/RockonteursTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@therockonteursProduced for WMG UK by Ben Jones at Gimme Sugar Productionswww.gimmesugar.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Haley Fohr, who performs as Circuit des Yeux, is known for her hauntingly powerful voice and immersive, genre-defying sound. As Pitchfork put it, her voice is “a force of nature” that “pulses with raw emotion.” Her album -io, was hailed by The New York Times as “a deeply evocative exploration of loss, identity, and the self.” With a career marked by boundary-pushing work, Haley continues to redefine what it means to create music that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. Her newest record, Halo on the Inside, was commended by The Quietus for its "immaculately crafted" tracks, particularly "Truth," which "recalls the rave from The Matrix in its endearing camp and undeniable swagger." In this episode, she talks about how songs by The Stooges, Sly and the Family Stone, and Joni Mitchell shaped her sensibilities. Halo on the Inside was released by Matador on March 14, 2025.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Who has managed to stay in the conversation this week? Jodi and Kate Halliwell first make note of some genuinely disparate topics, including celebrities' penchant for going to space, Ben Affleck possibly sniffing around Jennifer Garner again, and Amanda Seyfried unofficially auditioning for an unofficial Joni Mitchell biopic (6:45). Then, they talk about everything from the 97th Oscars week, from the fallout of Adrien Brody's speech to Jason Ritter making a video of himself pretending to fight off lesbians in his living room over his gorgeous wife Melanie Lynskey (20:20). After that, they deep dive into three divas who have stayed in the conversation in big ways: K-pop star Lisa and her role on ‘The White Lotus' and in the Oscars dreadful James Bond medley (37:39), Gabby Windey and her iconic TikTok and podcast (43:30), and Doechii and her new viral single ‘Anxiety' (54:00). And finally, they share their personal obsessions for the week (59:24). Email us with your latest obsessions at wereobsessedpod@gmail.com!

We have a Grammy legend on the podcast this week, 11 time winner, it's singer/songwriter Brandi Carlile! Brandi schlepped to New Cross from Windsor where she is staying with her best friend, Sir Elton John. She is about to release a brand new album with Elton, and we heard all about how the album came about - and that the entire process was filmed for a documentary too. Brandi also shared that she lives on a compound in Washington state with all of her close friends and family, that she got married to her wife in London, all about her regular jamming sessions with Joni Mitchell (with wine and Mexican food dished up for everyone!), that it was thanks to Sir Paul McCartney that she met her wife, plus she has THE best idea pitch to Ben & Jerry's for their new Ice Cream flavour - Candy Bar-lile! Brandi & Elton's new album ‘Who Believes In Angels' is released on the 4th April, and you can catch Brandi on her UK & European tour in June & July. Hosted on Acast.
