Geoff Downes has quite the musical CV. Shooting to fame with The Buggles, then joining Yes alongside Trevor Horn for their 1980 “Drama” album, he then had massive success alongside Yes member Steve Howe with the supergroup Asia. He rejoined Yes in 2011 where he remains to this day. Geoff joined me from his home in Wales for a career-spanning conversation discussing songs by The Buggles, Asia, and the epic Countermovement from the new Yes album “Aurora”.   Please forgive the sound quality on this interview. It's perfectly listenable but not optimal.   Find me on Instagram @sendingsignalspodcast

Most people think of romantic music as background noise for dates, movies, or weddings. But researchers have found that music can actually influence romantic behavior and attraction in measurable ways. Listen to discover how love songs may be doing more than simply setting the mood. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/06/100618112139.htm Take a look around you and notice how many buttons surround you. Elevator buttons. Crosswalk buttons. Remote controls. Keyboards. Car dashboards. Humans push buttons all day long—and often repeatedly, even when pushing again does absolutely nothing. There's something deeply satisfying and psychologically powerful about pressing a button and getting an immediate response. But buttons are a surprisingly recent invention, and they fundamentally changed how humans interact with machines, technology, and even each other. Rachel Plotnick, associate professor of Cinema and Media Studies at Indiana University, explores the strange history and psychology of buttons, why people are so drawn to them, and how “push-button culture” transformed modern life. She is author of Power Button: A History of Pleasure, Panic, and the Politics of Pushing (https://amzn.to/3xvIj5j). Humans don't just enjoy games—we seem to need them. From sports and gambling to video games, puzzles, and board games, people everywhere devote enormous amounts of time and energy to play. But games may be doing far more than entertaining us. Neuroscientist and physicist Kelly Clancy explains how games shape human behavior, influence culture, teach strategy, reward risk-taking, and even help societies evolve. In our conversation, she reveals why games are woven so deeply into human nature and why understanding games may help explain the way humans learn, compete, cooperate, and make decisions. Kelly is author of Playing with Reality: How Games Have Shaped Our World (https://amzn.to/3W02BNR). Online product reviews have become incredibly influential. A surprisingly large number of people now trust reviews from strangers almost as much as recommendations from friends.

Performance and Works used with permission from the artist and venue. One of contemporary jazz's best vibraphonists, Roy Ayers passed away in May of 2025 leaving behind a legacy of recordings that would be the envy of many. Forecast has been a mainstay on the Cleveland music scene for over 30 years, selling out shows consistently and opening for acts as diverse as Grover Washington Junior, Brian Auger and Roy Ayers himself. So, it's only fitting that when the occasions called for it, they paid tribute to the master in this sold-out performance. Featuring Lem Adams on Vibraphone, Riley Richard on Saxophone, Kevin Byous on Guitar, Alphonso McDuffie on Keyboards, Gary Stevenson on Bass and John Turner on Drums and from June 14th, 2025 it's Forecast…Live at the Bop Stop.

Cinco de Mayo, Hurricanes battle back to beat the Flyers, controversy in the Knights Game 1 win and the Maple Leafs introduce their new GM.

Most AI still lives in the "that's pretty cool" category. It answers questions, writes a decent paragraph, maybe even points you in the right direction. And then you still have to go do the work. That line is starting to move. Not in theory. In real, hands on, open the file and keep going kind of ways. We're talking about outputs that don't fall apart the second you touch them. Work that shows up structured, editable, and worth building on. That's a very different experience than what most people think of when they hear "AI." Some of this stuff still feels like a demo. You try it, you nod, and then you go back to doing things the old way. Other parts are starting to feel different. You give it something real and it gives you something back you can use without starting over. That's the shift. And once you see it, it's hard to unsee. Listen to the episode and decide where AI in your business is still a demo and where it's finally ready to pull its weight.

Auch in diesem Jahr wollen wir euch beschenken: In unserem Weihnachtsspecial sprechen wir gleich über vier Alben! Mit dabei sind in diesem Jahr Ron Wood, D'Angelo, Tri Yann und Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Den Anfang macht Manfred Mann's Earth Band mit dem Album "Criminal Tango", dem persönlichen Meilenstein von SWR1 Musikredakteur Dave Jörg. Er erinnert sich sogar noch genau an den Moment, als er die erste Single des Albums zum ersten Mal gehört hat. Es war vor dem Fernseher 1986, in der Fernsehsendung "Na sowas!" mit Moderator Thomas Gottschalk. Für Sänger Chris Thompson war es das letzte Album mit "Manfred Mann's Earth Band". Und auch bei "Criminal Tango" steht er selber schon als Gast mit auf dem Cover – gesondert und nicht als Teil der Band. "Die Mischung aus rockigem Unterboden und verspielten Melodien hat mich total angesprochen!" – Dave Jörg Das Besondere an "Criminal Tango” ist für Dave Jörg auch die Mischung aus elektronischen Klängen und einer ordentlichen Portion Rock. Und für den größten ABBA-Fan der Redaktion sind auch die tollen Harmoniegesänge etwas, das ihn beeindruckt hat. "Harmoniegesänge machen was mit mir!" – Dave Jörg SWR1 Musikredakteur Stephan Fahrig hat uns für unser Weihnachtsspecial das im Jahr 2000 erschienene Album "Voodoo" von D'Angelo mitgebracht, einem der Wegbereiter des Neo-Soul, wie Frank König anfügt. Neo-Soul kam Mitte der 90er auf und verbindet Soul mit R 'n' B-Elementen, Jazz und Hip-Hop. Dabei erkennt man den Sound gut daran, dass er sehr reduziert ist und das Tempo sehr langsam ist. Drums, Bass und Keyboards (oft ein Fender Rhodes) sind da zu hören, erklärt Musikredakteur Stephan Fahrig. Neben großen Pop- und Rockstars wie Ozzy Osbourne, Brian Wilson, Ace Frehley und anderen ist auch D'Angelo auf der Liste der in diesem Jahr leider verstorbenen Künstler. Die Weichen für eine musikalische Karriere sind bei D'Angelo schon früh gelegt worden – und etwas klischeehaft, betont Stephan Fahrig. D'Angelo ist als Sohn eines Pfarrers geboren, hat früh Klavierspielen gelernt und auch in der Kirche gesungen. Danach hat er angefangen, selbstständige musikalische Entscheidungen zu treffen, und hat im Alter von 16 Jahren gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder eine Band gegründet. Anfang der 90er-Jahre geht D'Angelo nach New York, wo er von dem Label EMI einen Plattenvertrag bekommt. Im Jahr 2000 erscheint sein zweites Album "Voodoo", das, wie oben beschrieben, sehr reduziert klingt. Und auch ein Livealbum gibt's in unserem Weihnachtsspecial 2025. Moderator Frank König hat uns Musik von einem seiner liebsten Reiseziele mitgebracht, der Bretagne. Die Band heißt Tri Yann und ist die dienstälteste Band Frankreichs, wie König betont. Zu ihrem Jubiläum hat die Band ein Livealbum herausgebracht: "50 Ans De Scène". Die Idee hinter der Band, erklärt der Meilensteine-Moderator, ist, dass sie die Kultur und die Sprache der Bretagne in ihrer Musik wieder aufleben lassen wollen. Und das beginnt schon beim Namen der Band, der eben nicht französisch, sondern bretonisch ist und "die drei Jans" bedeutet – eben nach der Urbesetzung der Gruppe. Kennengelernt hat Frank König die Musik von Tri Yann Mitte der 70er-Jahre. Seitdem hat er die Band kontinuierlich weiterverfolgt und auch ihre Entwicklung mitbekommen. "Mit der Zeit sind die immer rockiger geworden. Also bretonisch-keltische Einflüsse, gemischt mit Rock. […] Mit der Zeit haben die sich ihre Fans erarbeitet, weil sie eben diese Musik in die Jetzt-Zeit geholt haben. Das war eine tolle Sache, weil die nicht nur die alten Traditionsweisen gespielt haben, sondern der Musik diesen neuen Touch beigefügt haben." – Frank König Meilensteine-Fans wissen, dass Katharina Heinius und Frank König zwei der größten Beatles-Fans der Welt (zumindest in der SWR1 Redaktion) sind. Und ausgerechnet Katharina bringt zum Weihnachtsspecial ein Album der "Konkurrenz" mit; das Soloalbum von Rolling Stones-Gitarrist Ron Wood "I've Got My Own Album To Do". Die Erklärung dafür gibt Heinius umgehend: "Es ist auch ein kleiner Teil der Beatles mit drauf", erklärt sie im Podcast. Und abgesehen davon hören wir auch noch andere Teile der Rolling Stones, der ehemaligen Band von Rod Stewart und Ron Wood, den Faces und auch David Bowie. "Es ist ein Album, das mir wahnsinnig ans Herz geht und das ich seit vielen, vielen Jahren schon hören kann. Das ist ein Album, wenn ich nicht weiß, was ich hören will, dann mache ich das an, weil das geht einfach immer!" – Katharina Heinius 1974 ist das Album "I've Got My Own Album To Do" entstanden, also in der Zeit, bevor Ron Wood Teil der Rolling Stones geworden ist. Wie kommt es, dass so viele Gaststars auf seinem Soloalbum vertreten sind? Das hat unterschiedliche Gründe. Zum einen war Ron Wood durch seine Umtriebigkeit in der Londoner Musikszene unglaublich gut vernetzt, und zum anderen hatte er zu der Zeit schon sein eigenes Haus mit Tonstudio. "The Wick" lag im etwas abgelegenen Londoner Westen, in Richmond. Dort hat sich die Londoner Musikszene gerne getroffen, miteinander Zeit verbracht und auch Musik gemacht. Kein Wunder, dass in diesem kreativen Umfeld ein Album entstehen konnte, das nicht auf Hits ausgelegt war, sondern auf dem wir einfach die Freude an der Musik und Freundschaft hören können. __________ Über diese Alben sprechen wir im Weihnachtsspecial 2025: (01:15) – "Criminal Tango" von Manfred Mann's Earth Band(10:02) – "Voodoo" von D'Angelo(22:00) – "50 Ans De Scène" von Tri Yann(35:35) – "I've Got My Own Album To Do" von Ron Wood __________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zum Weihnachtsspecial 2025 findet ihr hier: https://1.ard.de/meilensteine-weihnachtsspecial-2025 __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

It's time to Caps Lock in and Esc into another episode, as Tim Van Damme joins us to talk about his passion for designing mechanical keyboards. He describes how a pre-made keyboard that he customized by designing his own keycaps, ignited a passion for treating keyboards as both functional tools and artistic statements. Tim collaborates with a local CNC machine specialist to prototype and manufacture keyboards from raw materials like brass, copper, and semi-translucent plastics that age over time, prioritizing the honesty of the material over painted finishes. He finds freedom in the hobby's spectrum from boring, ergonomic designs to extravagant art pieces, and talks about how long it takes him to feel comfortable enough to overcome the small imperfections and use his own projects.Guest BioTim Van Damme (he/him) (you might also know him as Max) has been a software UI designer for over 2 decades at a wide variety of tech companies including Instagram, Dropbox, and currently Figma. Lately, he's been getting more and more interested in designing physical objects, specifically luxury mechanical keyboards and key caps under the moniker MVKB (Maxvoltar Keyboards). He lives in Belgium together with his wife, 3 kids, 4 chickens and dog.LinksTim's website: https://www.timvandamme.com/MaxVoltar Keyboards: https://mvkb.com/CreditsCover design by Raquel Breternitz.

It's Cyber Monday, a date dedicated to online shopping for holiday gifts. But is that really a big deal anymore? Or Black Friday, for that matter? Don't we all now shop online all year long? Or is there still some kind of novelty about these Thanksgiving weekend shopping dates? Also: the president goes on a Thanksgiving racist rant, winks at a war crime, pardons a billion-dollar money launderer after only 12 days in prison, and is about to pardon a former corrupt Central American leader responsible for 20 years worth of cocaine being brought to the US.

What happens when two world-class musicians decide to take full creative control and make the music they've always envisioned? In this episode of Caught on the Mike, host Mike welcomes Jimmy McGorman and Robb Vallier — the duo behind Flight To London — to talk about their debut album, Instructions for Losing Control. After years of writing and producing for artists like Goo Goo Dolls, Avril Lavigne, Gin Blossoms, and Sabrina Carpenter, McGorman and Vallier reunite to create something that's entirely their own: a lush, synth-driven exploration they call “NEW-stalgia.” They dive into the inspirations behind the project, the beauty of creative freedom, and how frustration became the spark for their most personal music yet. From vintage analog warmth to digital precision — this conversation captures the sound, soul, and story of Flight To London.

Fleetwood Mac's Rumours is undoubtedly one of the best pop rock albums ever. But the story behind its creation reads like a soap opera. Everyone -- Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Mic Fleetwood -- were enduring heartbreak during its recording. Stevie and Lindsey were breaking up. The McVies had already split, but John wasn't ready to let go. Even Mic Fleetwood was separating from his wife back home. For three months, they were stuck in a recording booth together nearly round the clock, singing each other's breakup songs and harmonizing with their exes. Heartbreak is encoded in every song, from Lindsey Buckingham's "Never Going Back Again" to Christine McVie's "You Make Loving Fun" to Stevie Nick's "Dreams". But in spite of ... or maybe because of? ... this termoil, Rumours has become one the best selling albums of all time. Peter and Adam listen to this pop rock masterpiece front-to-back, deconstructing each song (and the stories behind them) to understand what makes this album great. -----Keyboards?

Today we're going on an aquatic journey with Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage. Herbie calls the title track the best tune he's ever written.  We dive deep into the music to explore what makes this tune, and this album, great. The roots of Maiden Voyage date back in 1963, when Herbie began hearing rumors that Miles Davis wanted to hear him play. He didn't believe it at first -- Miles was at the height of his celebrity by this point. But soon he got a call. He went over to Miles's house and played with him, George Coleman, Tony Williams and Ron Carter for three days. On the third day, Miles asks the group to come to studio to record Seven Steps to Heaven. Herbie says, "Does that mean I'm in the band?" Miles says, "You're making the record, mother f**cker!" After two years playing in what many call the one of the greatest jazz ensembles of all time, Herbie would release Maiden Voyage in 1965. Along with George, Tony and Ron, plus saxophonist Freddie Hubbard. Although it is one of his simplest tunes -- with a rhythm inspired by a cologne commercial -- Maiden Voyage would become a favorite and a standard among jazz musicians. In this episode, you'll hear:- Adam and Peter pick apart the greatest moments from the album, including some perfect solos- The story of the commercial roots of this jazz standard- Where the record got its aquatic theme- Why a great song starts with a great bassline (just ask Ron Carter)- How this record could have been even better ... if it weren't for that piano sound- Where we land on Van Gelder Sound controversy-----Keyboards?
