What do you get when you combine two Canadian music lifers into one guitar-heavy power-pop unit that still believes in volume, melody, and sweat? You get SLIP~ons. Fronted by Brock Pytel of Montreal pop-punk staples Doughboys and anchored by Brian Minato, longtime bassist for Sarah McLachlan, the Vancouver four-piece make rock music the honest way. Plug in. Turn it up. Let it rip. Their sophomore EP Overtime arrives February 20, 2026 via Scamindy. SLIP~ons aim straight for the sweet spot where 90s alternative heft meets power-pop immediacy. Think Sugar-era Bob Mould muscle, Hüsker Dü urgency, and the loose confidence of The Replacements, with flashes of Ash and Dinosaur Jr. in the guitar tones. Rounded out by Rob “Shockk” Matharu of The Spitfires on guitar and Shane Wilson on drums, the band plays with instinct and economy. Nothing is overthought. Everything hits when it's supposed to. Overtime takes its title from the sudden-death hockey period, used here as an extended metaphor for pressure, consequence, and the moment when everything sharpens. The EP leans heavier and more focused than the band's debut, pairing Pytel's gravel-edged vocals with punchy, direct arrangements that waste zero time. The lyrics widen their scope too. Politics surface naturally, filtered through experience rather than slogans. As Pytel puts it, “I made it all the way through side A without a single song about a breakup.” The shift is subtle but intentional, and it gives the record real weight. The EP was recorded by John Raham at Afterlife, formerly Mushroom Studios, a room steeped in Canadian music history. Raham's resume includes work with Frazey Ford, Dan Mangan, Tanya Tagaq, Destroyer, and Pharis, and his approach here keeps the performances immediate while giving the songs room to move. Mixing duties were handled by Dave Ogilvie of Skinny Puppy, whose touch adds grit and tension without sanding off the edges. Overtime was mastered by Ronan Chris Murphy, whose work spans artists such as King Crimson, Ulver, and Gwar, bringing clarity and punch while preserving the EP's raw, guitar-forward bite.

En 1977, deux potes quelques peu accrocs se soutiennent mutuellement et artistiquement. Ainsi David Bowie va produire au célèbre château d'Hérouville et à Berlin un IGGY POP qui vient de quitter les Stooges. C'est la fameuse période de la trilogie berlinoise pour le premier et une émancipation réussie pour le second dont le premier album "The Idiot" sera à juste titre bien accueilli, comme le beau bébé en ouverture de ce numéro ! Retour en 2026 (merci au Kid de m'avoir prêté sa Dolorean ! ) pour la sortie d'un album "évènement" comme on dit, puisqu'il s'agit du 2ème album solo du guitariste et membre fondateur des Spock's Beard, j'ai nommé ALAN MORSE. En Solo donc mais fort bien accompagné, par exemple par son frère Neal, ou encore Simon Phillips,Tony Levin (qui fait un joli doublé dans ce numéro ! ). En France aussi on peut se réjouir de talents actifs, pour preuve je vous emmène dans le Jura découvrir le nouvel album de MESSALINE, groupe réputé et à juste titre, qui (sous leur ancienne dénomination "Absurds") a eu l'honneur de faire des 1ère parties prestigieuses comme Ange ou encore Porcupine Tree... "Alias Lilith", tel est le nom du nouvel album....indispensable ! Depuis le décès du batteur et parolier Neil Peart en 2020, il semblait à priori évident que le trio canadien de RUSH mettent un point final à une déjà bien belle carrière...Mais c'était sans compter sur la détermination du duo Lee - Lifeson qui a finalement décidé de partir en tournée refaire vivre la légende, aidé par la talentueuse batteuse allemande Anika Nilles. Selon le communiqué de la formation, il s'agit de rendre hommage à Neil mais aussi d'ouvrir une nouvelle voie rythmique pour le groupe, alors comment ? Lives, nouvel album ? Comptez sur moi pour vous tenir au courant et en attendant vous pourrez les voir sur scène à Paris le 19 février 2027, on en reparlera forcément d'ici là. Retour dans cette émission sur l'album "Test For Echo" de 1996...tiens l'année de naissance de votre radio préférée !! Un autre artiste qui nous manque et qui a toujours une place de choix dans mes cages à miel, pour son talent, sa sensibilité et disons le, pour avoir mis le pied à l'étrier d'un certain Mike Oldfield, le fondateur des Soft Machine KEVIN AYERS. Ici sur son 5ème album depuis son départ de la Machine (qui sort un nouvel album le mois prochain, on y reviendra vous pensez bien ! ), "The Confusion Of Doctor Dream And Other Stories" en 1974. J'évoquais la participation de Tony Levin pour sa participation au nouvel album d' Alan Morse, le revoici, certes un peu plus jeune (en 1981) au sein de sa formation d'emploi, KING CRIMSON, alors réactivée après un silence radio de quelques années. Le retour du patron Robert Fripp et ses amis se fera sous le sceau... de la "Discipline" ! Retour dans l'hexagone, plus précisément du côté de Surgères, on est pas très loin de La Rochelle et surtout de St Palais, haut lieu de rencontre annuelle du rock progressif ! Et d'ailleurs on aimerait bien y retrouver un jour ces talentueux amis d'enfance : TOM BENARD ET ANTO. Je dis duo mais Tom Bénard et Anthony Machet ont su aussi s'entourer de musiciens expérimentés pour les soutenir et le résultat est une franche réussite ! POLARIS est un album pour les aficionados de fusion mais qui reste accessible à tous (évidemment pour peu qu'on écoute autre chose que de la variété ! ) et j'espère que l'extrait diffusé dans ce numéro vous donnera l'envie de les découvrir et de le faire savoir autour de vous : oui nos régions ont du talent !! Direction la Suède. A l'instar d'Alan Morse, HASSE FRÖBERG est lui aussi guitariste et membre fondateur d'une institution du prog (en l'occurrence les Flowers Kings) et je vous offre une tranche de son 2ème projet solo connu sous le nom raccourci de HFMC (pour Hasse Fröberg & Musical Companion) " et son album "Powerplay" initialement paru en 2012. Depuis d'autres productions sont parues mais celle-ci vient tout juste de faire l'objet d'une réédition (son remasterisé et titres live en bonus) alors ne boudons pas notre plaisir de revisiter cet opus ! Une petite touche folk anglaise avec JETHRO TULL et son éternel joueur de flute Ian Anderson qui en 2017 a réactivé la formation après quelques productions solo. Je dis réactivé mais il s'agit plus de redonner le nom de cette prestigieuse entité à une nouvelle formation, ce qui n'enlève rien à la qualité du dernier album "Curious Ruminant" sorti il y a un an. Mais dans ce numéro je vous propose de faire plus "vintage" et d'évoquer "Stormwatch" sorti en 1979, un petit joyau ! Malgré un "hit" archi diffusé ("Sympathy" en 1970), RARE BIRD n'est pas le groupe de rock progressif le plus souvent évoqué alors que leur son en était parfaitement représentatif dans cette décennie glorieuse pour ce genre musical... Sans doute ce titre fut trop "réducteur", ne laissant pas imaginer au "progueux" ce qu'il y avait derrière et inversement, les amateurs de pop et variété ont peut-être été déstabilisés en voulant creuser la production de ce groupe... Toujours est-il qu'écouter par exemple l'extrait de l'album "As Your Mind Flie By", permet de se faire quand même une bonne idée du son rock prog des 70's ! Réhabilitons ce groupe nom de Zeus ! Et pour clôturer en beauté ce 256ème épisode en direct d'Amarok, retour sur le dernier album en date du groupe ARENA, "The Theory Of Molecular Inheritance", sorti il y a déjà 4 ans. Profitons encore de la voix de Damian Wilson car ce dernier rend son tablier et quittera la formation après une série de concerts qui seront donnés en fin d'année, cédant ensuite le micro à son prédécesseur de retour au bercail Paul Manzi... vous suivez ? Et si on se mettait à espérer un nouvel album d'ici l'année prochaine ? En attendant, live long and prosper !! Thierry Joigny Chaque jeudi, à 20h
This band is a major cog in the engine that powers us. We've said that about Voivod, King Crimson, and Arcturus, and will add Watchtower as a major ingredient of what compels Radical Research. Formed in 1982 by four maniacs whose handle on their instruments was far beyond their years, and with record collections spanning speedy heavy metal as well as wild prog rock and jazz fusion, Watchtower made perhaps the largest impact of any metal band with a mere two full-length albums to their credit. Listen in wonder right along with us, because we're still trying to figure it all out! Note I: Jeff's Voivod book, ‘Always Moving: The Strange Multiverse of Voivod,' is now available. You can purchase a copy of the 540-page, 3-pound behemoth HERE: radicalresearch.org/voivod Note II: The Radical Research Patreon page is now set up and ready for your patronage.

This podcast is conceived and conducted by Jeff Wagner and Hunter Ginn. Though we consume music in a variety of ways, we give particular privilege to the immersive, full-album listening experience. Likewise, we believe that tangible music formats help provide the richest, most rewarding immersions and that music, artwork, and song titles cooperate to produce a singular effect on the listener. Great music is worth more than we ever pay for it.
For our february episode we finally complete the 70s by discussing our favourite songs of 1974! You can expect lots of prog, much more krautrock than expected (particularly from Tracey), some funk classics, sparkly glam bangers, and most of the members of The Byrds.We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Colin's wife Helen, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from the other two hosts, along with our own 10. We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them back to Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order. She also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine.Now, admittedly, in parts we're a little bit brutal to some of the songs in the list as we're three separate people with differing music tastes, but please remember that to be in this episode at all the songs have to have been in one of our top 10's of that year.Bands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) - Kevin Ayers, Big Star, David Bowie, James Brown, Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band, Gene Clark, Cluster, Deep Purple, Brian Eno, Focus, Fred Frith, Harmonia, Keith Hudson, King Crimson, Kiss, Kraftwerk, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Curtis Mayfield, Roger McGuinn, Mike Oldfield, Parliament, Gram Parsons, Pilot, Queen, Roxy Music, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Sparks, Steely Dan, Tangerine Dream, & Rick Wakeman.Find all songs in alphabetical order here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5DIrU8fLeTxerh4wHJTWDq?si=6e2bfca9066b44e2Find our We Dig Music Pollwinners Party playlist (featuring all of the winning songs up until now) here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/45zfDHo8zm6VqrvoEQSt3z?si=Ivt0oMj6SmitimvumYfFrQIf you want to listen to megalength playlists of all the songs we've individually picked since we started doing best of the year episodes (which need updating but I plan on doing them over the next few months or so), you can listen to Colin's here – https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5x3Vy5Jry2IxG9JNOtabRT?si=HhcVKRCtRhWCK1KucyrDdgIan's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2H0hnxe6WX50QNQdlfRH5T?si=XmEjnRqISNqDwi30p1uLqAand Tracey's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2p3K0n8dKhjHb2nKBSYnKi?si=7a-cyDvSSuugdV1m5md9NwThe playlist of 20 songs from the other two hosts was scored as usual, our favourite song got 20 points, counting down incrementally to our least favourite which got 1 point. The scoring of our own list of 10 is now slightly more complicated in order to give a truer level of points to our own favourites. So rather than them only being able to score as many points as our 10th favourite in the other list, the points in our own list were distributed as follows -1st place - 20 points2nd place - 18 points3rd place – 16 points4th place – 14 points5th place – 12 points6th place – 9 points7th place – 7 points8th place – 5 points9th place – 3 points10th place -1 pointHosts - Ian Clarke, Colin Jackson-Brown & Tracey BGuest starring Helen Jackson-Brown.Playlist compiling/distributing – Helen Jackson-BrownRecorded/Edited/Mixed/Original Music by Colin Jackson-Brown for We Dig PodcastsThanks to Peter Latimer for help with the scoring system.Part of the We Dig Podcasts network along with Free With This Months Issue & Pick A Disc.Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/wedigmusic.bsky.socialInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wedigmusicpcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/wedigpusicpcast/Find our other episodes & podcasts at www.wedigpodcasts.com

Un peu plus de 3 ans depuis leur premier album "Equilibrium", quel bonheur de retrouver la formation initialement crée par les frères Senizergues : POLYCHROME. D'ailleurs cette histoire de famille n'est pas sans rappeler quelques fleurons du rock progressif français tels que les tôliers Ange ou les plus contemporains Lazuli notamment. Ce tout fraîchement sorti "Someday" est fort réussi, laissant toutes les chances à ces frenchies de rejoindre la cour des grands, avec des textes qui ont du sens, à l'instar de l'extrait diffusé ce soir, traitant de la procrastination qui peut-être individuelle (je connais bien

What happens when you sit down with an engineer who helped define multiple eras of music - from Foreigner to Timbaland - and he tells you the secret is still just listening for what feels good? Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.com My guest today is Jimmy Douglass, legendary producer, mixer, and engineer whose career spans more than five decades. Jimmy began as a teenager at Atlantic Records in New York, making tape copies and quietly slipping into the back of sessions, where he learned by watching giants like Tom Dowd, Arif Mardin, and Jerry Wexler. He grew up in the era when you had to earn your way into the control room, and those lessons shaped everything that came after. Jimmy talked about working on classic records for Foreigner, including helping mix Follow You, Follow Me when Genesis was still emerging, and cutting his teeth editing music for radio versions - including early work on King Crimson. He also shared memories of the post-punk era, mixing records for Gang of Four and Television, including the iconic Marquee Moon, and how those productions influenced his sense of space, energy, and performance. Then Jimmy walked us into the world that many people know him for - his long-running creative partnership with Timbaland. He explained how Tim's rhythmic sensibility forced him to rethink timing, movement, and pocket, and stories of respectful sessions working with Snoop Dogg. We also talked about longevity: how Jimmy stays inspired, how he keeps reinventing himself, why he still chases accidents and surprises in the studio, and the challenge of balancing instinct with intention across 50 years of making records. If you love stories from inside the control room or want to understand how great mixers think, this episode is loaded with wisdom and wild history. https://metalliance.com/ https://www.sheencenter.org/events/detail/studio-confidential-1 THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS! http://UltimateMixingMasterclass.com https://usa.sae.edu/ https://www.izotope.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off! https://www.native-instruments.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off! https://www.adam-audio.com/ https://www.spectra1964.com https://gracedesign.com/ https://pickrmusic.com https://RecordingStudioRockstars.com/Academy https://www.thetoyboxstudio.com/ Listen to the podcast theme song "Skadoosh!" https://solo.to/lijshawmusic Listen to this guest's discography on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6voPl0icbbrLKCh7MqFiHe?si=7MKSFLWmT76HunqSyUQHLg If you love the podcast, then please leave a review: https://RSRockstars.com/Review CLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE SHOW NOTES AT: https://RSRoockstars.com/540

The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
A viral “Top 26 Songs of 2025” list is only the start—we put every pick under the microscope to see what truly earns replay value. From Bailey Zimmerman and Luke Combs to Morgan Wallen's double presence and Laney Wilson's anchor tracks, we dig into the hooks, arrangements, and performances that separate a fleeting hit from a keeper. Expect honest takes, a few friendly disagreements, and a closer look at the production moves—floor tom hits, 70s textures, harmony blends—that make a chorus land.The conversation widens as we ask what makes album art timeless. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon becomes a benchmark for clarity and concept, while modern country sleeves split between glossy trends and striking, cinematic restraint. We swap community favorites—Genesis, Journey, Led Zeppelin, Kiss, King Crimson—and talk recognizability, narrative, and how a cover can hint at sound before the first note plays. You'll hear why certain designs elevate the music's myth, and where visual nostalgia actually works.News brings heart and history: Willie Nelson and Lukas Nelson competing for Best Traditional Country Album is a rare, moving moment of legacy in real time. Riley Green's back-to-back solo-written No. 1s reset the conversation on authorship, Ella Langley's UK airplay run shows country's global reach, and Laney Wilson stepping into ESPN's Monday Night Football booth underlines how presence travels across mediums.Episode LinksScotty Simpson: https://jayfranze.com/episode3/Andy Hull: https://jayfranze.com/episode7/Jim Cristaldi: https://jayfranze.com/episode27/Bob Bullock: https://jayfranze.com/episode28/Dave Jackson: https://jayfranze.com/episode53/William Lee Golden: https://jayfranze.com/episode72/Billie Jo Jones: https://jayfranze.com/episode98/Dalila Mya: https://jayfranze.com/episode102/Mark Badolato: https://jayfranze.com/episode140Send us a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Contact: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Services: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Books: https://jayfranze.com/books/ Merchandise Merchandise: https://jayfranze.com/merchandise/ Support Support: https://jayfranze.com/support/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/

Welcome to an extraordinary edition of the Takin’ A Walk podcast from Buzz Knight music and the “Master of Music Mayhem,” Harry Jacobs. This comprehensive look at weekly music history explores one of the most emotionally complex weeks in rock and roll history, spanning December 8th through December 14th. From tragic losses to groundbreaking debuts, this week encompasses the full spectrum of music history’s most pivotal moments. John Lennon’s Assassination: December 8, 1980 - A Day That Changed Music Forever The episode opens with perhaps the darkest day in rock music history: December 8, 1980, when John Lennon was shot and killed outside The Dakota apartment building in New York City. Buzz Knight and Harry Jacobs provide intimate personal recollections of this Beatles tragedy that shocked the world. For listeners of this weekly music history episode note the Buzz Knight music podcast replay of "Takin A Walk" with the incredible Julian Lennon. The Beatles Reunion: Free as a Bird and the Anthology Era Moving from tragedy to reunion, the episode explores December 9, 1995, when the Beatles released “Free as a Bird”—the first new Beatles music in 24 years. Both hosts were working together at WZLX in Boston during this momentous release, bringing their firsthand perspective to this Beatles reunion moment. The track, built around a John Lennon demo with contributions from Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, represented a technological and emotional achievement in music history. Harry admits his initial underwhelm with the track, noting that while “Free as a Bird” generated enormous curiosity worldwide, it never achieved the status of Beatles classics like “Ticket to Ride,” “Help!,” or songs from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The honest assessment reflects how even beloved artists can struggle to recapture past magic, and both hosts acknowledge they haven’t revisited the song since its release. This candid discussion provides valuable context for understanding fan expectations versus artistic reality in music reunion projects. The Blues Brothers Phenomenon: From Saturday Night Live to Cultural Institution December 9, 1978 marks the Saturday Night Live debut of the Blues Brothers, a moment that transformed comedy sketch into legitimate musical force. The episode provides deep insights into how Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi created this blues and R&B supergroup, enlisting Paul Shaffer, Lou Marini, Duck Dunn, and Steve Cropper, who just passed away—the latter two being legendary members of Booker T. and the MGs and key figures in the Stax Records sound that defined Memphis soul music and produced classics like “Soul Man” and “Green Onions.” Howard Shore, who served as Saturday Night Live’s musical director, recognized the potential in Aykroyd and Belushi’s blues performances and helped facilitate their transition from comedy bit to recording artists. The hosts discuss how this comedy-music crossover assembled world-class musicians around a satirical concept that became genuinely respected in the music community. The Blues Brothers represented a unique fusion of comedy and music that introduced younger audiences to blues legends and R&B classics. The conversation explores Tom “Bones” Malone, a guest on Buzz’s podcast, who joined the Blues Brothers band and played trombone with Blood, Sweat & Tears before becoming part of the SNL band. The episode details the evolution of the band from initial concept to full touring and recording entity, with Buzz noting the impressive live performances featuring the Blues Brothers’ acrobatic stage show, where the larger-than-life Belushi performed cartwheels, splits, and handstands that would later inspire Chris Farley’s physical comedy style. The Blues Brothers soundtrack, featuring “Briefcase Full of Blues” and subsequent albums, has “stood the test of time” according to both hosts. Songs like “Rubber Biscuit,” performed with Matt “Guitar” Murphy, and the memorable Aretha Franklin diner scene where Jake orders “four fried chickens and a Coke,” remain embedded in popular culture. The authentic musicianship combined with comedic brilliance created something that transcended both genres, making the Blues Brothers a permanent fixture in American music history. Otis Redding’s Legacy and Tragic Death: December 10, 1967 The episode takes a somber turn with December 10, 1967, the day Otis Redding died in a plane crash near Madison, Wisconsin, along with members of the Bar-Kays. The timing of this tragedy magnifies its impact—Redding had recorded ”(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” just three days earlier, and the song hadn’t yet been released. The track became a posthumous number-one hit, cementing Redding’s status as one of soul music’s greatest artists, though he never lived to see its success. Wings Over America: McCartney’s Epic Live Album - December 10, 1976 December 10, 1976 brought the release of Wings Over America, Paul McCartney’s triple live album documenting his 1975-1976 tour with Wings. The episode explores the rarity of triple albums in music history, particularly live albums of such scope and ambition. The hosts discuss the bootleg album called “Wings from Wings” that allegedly forced McCartney’s hand, rushing the official release to market before bootleggers could dominate sales. Harry reveals the meticulous production process behind Wings Over America, noting that McCartney collected 8,000 hours of live recordings from the tour. The legendary Beatles bassist and singer then personally mixed the album, listening to five different versions of every song before selecting the best performances. The final album was crafted to sound like a single concert experience, though it actually represented the best moments culled from the entire tour—a production approach that set standards for live albums. The episode highlights how “Maybe I’m Amazed” from this album became the definitive version for many fans, surpassing even the studio recording in emotional power and musical execution. The album also featured several Beatles songs including “Yesterday” and “Bluebird,” allowing McCartney to honor his past while showcasing his post-Beatles work with Wings. This balance between Beatles nostalgia and new material demonstrated McCartney’s artistic evolution while satisfying longtime fans. Early Genesis and Progressive Rock Evolution December 11, 1972 saw Genesis release “Foxtrot,” their fifth studio album and a landmark in progressive rock history. The episode explores this Peter Gabriel-era Genesis and the band’s evolution through various lineups. Harry recalls “Watcher of the Skies” as a standout track, while both hosts discuss later Genesis classics like “The Carpet Crawlers” from “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.” The conversation reveals differing perspectives on Genesis eras, with Buzz preferring the Peter Gabriel period and later Phil Collins-fronted work, while Harry admits his fandom developed more during the “Trick of the Tail” era following Gabriel’s departure. This honest exchange reflects how progressive rock bands often created distinct identities across lineup changes, appealing to different audiences in different eras. Buzz shares a memorable concert experience seeing Genesis with double drumming featuring Phil Collins and Bill Bruford (renowned for his work with Yes and King Crimson). This unique configuration represented Genesis at a transitional moment, experimenting with expanded instrumentation before settling into the trio format that would define their later commercial success. The “Trick of the Tail” tour demonstrated the band’s ability to continue without their iconic frontman, eventually leading to Collins taking over lead vocals permanently. The episode takes an unexpected turn to December 12, 1901, when Guglielmo Marconi sent the first transatlantic radio signal from Cornwall to Newfoundland. This moment in broadcasting history laid the foundation for everything that followed, including the careers of Buzz and Harry as radio professionals. Harry jokes about Buzz working for Marconi in 1901, highlighting the self-deprecating humor that characterizes their chemistry while acknowledging that without Marconi’s invention, they would never have met or built careers in radio. This historical perspective reminds listeners that music distribution, radio broadcasting, and the entire infrastructure of modern music industry traces back to pioneering moments like Marconi’s transmission. The evolution of radio technology from those first signals to contemporary podcast production represents over a century of innovation that transformed how humans experience and share music globally. The Clash’s London Calling: Punk’s Masterpiece - December 14, 1979 December 14, 1979 saw the Clash release “London Calling” in the UK, a double album that transcended punk rock limitations to incorporate reggae, rockabilly, ska, and R&B influences. The hosts recall the album’s innovative approach, including the hidden track “Train in Vain,” which became a hit despite not being listed on the original album cover—a marketing trick that created mystique and rewarded attentive listeners.

Welcome to an extraordinary edition of the Takin’ A Walk podcast with host Buzz Knight and the self-proclaimed “Master of Music Mayhem,” Harry Jacobs. This comprehensive music history podcast episode explores one of the most emotionally complex weeks in rock and roll history, spanning December 8th through December 14th. From tragic losses to groundbreaking debuts, this week encompasses the full spectrum of music history’s most pivotal moments. John Lennon’s Assassination: December 8, 1980 - A Day That Changed Music Forever The episode opens with perhaps the darkest day in rock music history: December 8, 1980, when John Lennon was shot and killed outside The Dakota apartment building in New York City. Buzz Knight and Harry Jacobs provide intimate personal recollections of this Beatles tragedy that shocked the world. The Beatles Reunion: Free as a Bird and the Anthology Era Moving from tragedy to reunion, the episode explores December 9, 1995, when the Beatles released “Free as a Bird”—the first new Beatles music in 24 years. Both hosts were working together at WZLX in Boston during this momentous release, bringing their firsthand perspective to this Beatles reunion moment. The track, built around a John Lennon demo with contributions from Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, represented a technological and emotional achievement in music history. Harry admits his initial underwhelm with the track, noting that while “Free as a Bird” generated enormous curiosity worldwide, it never achieved the status of Beatles classics like “Ticket to Ride,” “Help!,” or songs from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The honest assessment reflects how even beloved artists can struggle to recapture past magic, and both hosts acknowledge they haven’t revisited the song since its release. This candid discussion provides valuable context for understanding fan expectations versus artistic reality in music reunion projects. The Blues Brothers Phenomenon: From Saturday Night Live to Cultural Institution December 9, 1978 marks the Saturday Night Live debut of the Blues Brothers, a moment that transformed comedy sketch into legitimate musical force. The episode provides deep insights into how Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi created this blues and R&B supergroup, enlisting Paul Shaffer, Lou Marini, Duck Dunn, and Steve Cropper, who just passed away—the latter two being legendary members of Booker T. and the MGs and key figures in the Stax Records sound that defined Memphis soul music and produced classics like “Soul Man” and “Green Onions.” Howard Shore, who served as Saturday Night Live’s musical director, recognized the potential in Aykroyd and Belushi’s blues performances and helped facilitate their transition from comedy bit to recording artists. The hosts discuss how this comedy-music crossover assembled world-class musicians around a satirical concept that became genuinely respected in the music community. The Blues Brothers represented a unique fusion of comedy and music that introduced younger audiences to blues legends and R&B classics. The conversation explores Tom “Bones” Malone, a guest on Buzz’s podcast, who joined the Blues Brothers band and played trombone with Blood, Sweat & Tears before becoming part of the SNL band. The episode details the evolution of the band from initial concept to full touring and recording entity, with Buzz noting the impressive live performances featuring the Blues Brothers’ acrobatic stage show, where the larger-than-life Belushi performed cartwheels, splits, and handstands that would later inspire Chris Farley’s physical comedy style. The Blues Brothers soundtrack, featuring “Briefcase Full of Blues” and subsequent albums, has “stood the test of time” according to both hosts. Songs like “Rubber Biscuit,” performed with Matt “Guitar” Murphy, and the memorable Aretha Franklin diner scene where Jake orders “four fried chickens and a Coke,” remain embedded in popular culture. The authentic musicianship combined with comedic brilliance created something that transcended both genres, making the Blues Brothers a permanent fixture in American music history. Otis Redding’s Legacy and Tragic Death: December 10, 1967 The episode takes a somber turn with December 10, 1967, the day Otis Redding died in a plane crash near Madison, Wisconsin, along with members of the Bar-Kays.

Konstantin Efimov was born in 1958 in St. Petersburg, Russia, the elder (by 10 years) of two sons born to Igor Efimov, well-established movie actor, and his wife, Irina, whom he met while attending Moscow's prestigious Maly Theater School. Irina performed on stage until a few days before Kostia's birth. "That must be why I enjoy being on stage so much," says Kostia, who goes by his childhood nickname. His parents chose to live in St. Petersburg to be close to Igor's elderly mother. In 1961, they signed a five-year contract with the Theater Group of the Soviet Army Force, performing in East Berlin. KGB regulations, however, did not allow them to bring Kostia, then age 2-½ with them. He stayed, as an "insurance policy," with his grandmother, Valya, living in a communal apartment that housed nine families (33 people) in 11 rooms, all sharing the same hallway, kitchen and bathroom. "The bathtub was always filled with laundry," Kostia recalls. "We took our baths twice a week in the community bathhouse." As a child, Kostia displayed a tremendous interest in music, spending much time in front of the radio in his grandmother's tiny room. At age 4, a present was delivered to him from his parents -- a 1937 Wolkenhauer upright piano, upon which he soon learned to play hundreds of Russian folk songs. "It became the center of life in our home," Kostia remembers. "Even my pet rooster, Peter, used the lid as his favorite perch, and he would sit there and listen while I played." Kostia's parents returned from East Germany in July of 1965, when he was 7. His grandmother died of a stroke the following month. The same year, Kostia was accepted into a special music preparatory school of the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory. For the next 11 years, each day involved four to six hours of piano practice. At the school he met his first great influence, teacher Tamara Karetkina. "I was her first student," Kostia recalls. "She was a tremendous pianist and a beautiful woman, very much resembling Jacqueline Bisset.” Because of his talent, Kostia and other elite prodigies were forbidden to play sports, for fear of hand injuries. At 14, Kostia, who loved basketball, broke a finger in his right hand during a clandestine pick-up game. "I was so frightened," Kostia says. "The thought of not being able to play again was so horrifying! It was worse than death for me. I didn't tell my mother that I did it playing basketball; I told her I fell down carrying my briefcase." While his right hand healed, Kostia passed the time mastering pieces written by Ravel and Scriabin for left hand. Ravel's piece was composed in honor of a pianist who lost his right hand during World War I. At 18, Kostia entered the famed St. Petersburg Conservatory. Here he met and studied under Vladimir Nielsen, one of the last great masters of Russian Romanticism. He completed his Conservatory studies in 1982 with advanced graduate degrees in four disciplines: concert (solo) pianist, pianist for chamber ensemble, accompanist, and piano teacher. Following graduation, Kostia performed throughout Russia, Eastern Europe and Scandinavia as a soloist, with orchestras, with ethnic ensembles and his own jazz-fusion group. Typically, Conservatory graduates move into teaching. "I decided to go another way. I was already involved with jazz and pop performances, and I was pretty well known as an arranger, so I wanted to explore new music. Friends introduced me to Oscar Peterson, and modern jazz and progressive rock bands like Genesis, Yes and King Crimson. It was very different, extremely energetic, and absolutely spontaneous, like myself. I am definitely a free spirit, and playing this music allowed me a certain level of freedom that I wasn't able to explore in classical music." Kostia received a proposal from the St. Petersburg Cultural Center to start, essentially, an experimental music group. "This was 1982," he says, "and things were warming up a little bit." Kostia called the group “ARS” -- Latin for "art.” While working with ARS, Kostia started composing and arranging music for movies, documentaries and theatrical productions. He freelanced as an arranger, working on a number of soundtracks for the various stage productions. His skills as a performer led him to work with some of the well-established Russian composers (i.e., Alfred Schnitke, Vladislav Uspensky, Vladislav Panchenko), and a number of Soviet pop stars, including Marina Kapuro and Aleksander Rosenbaum, among others. During a visit to the United States in 1989 with the Soviet-American Cultural Exchange project "Clay Stomp," Kostia had an opportunity to perform for his first American audience at the Milwaukee Art Museum, where he shared the stage with Narada artist David Lanz. That day changed Kostia's life forever. The next morning he received a call from Narada records offering him a recording contract. From 1989 until 1997, Kostia worked extensively on various Narada projects as a performer, arranger and producer, including David Arkenstone's Grammy-nominated In the Wake of the Wind, and Narada's most celebrated recording, Nutcracker. Kostia's music appeared on more than a dozen of Narada's collections and compilation albums. In 1992, Kostia and David Arkenstone collaborated on the first album ever endorsed by the United States Olympic Committee, Spirit of Olympia. In 1994, Narada released Kostia's first piano solo album Suite St. Petersburg, which he describes as "a piano portrait of my beloved city." 1996 brought another critically acclaimed piano album, Ten Pebbles, where Kostia revisits some of his most cherished memories. Both albums won him respect and recognition of his fellow musicians and the love of fans around the world. Beginning in 1997, Kostia started a series of recordings with North Sound Music Group dedicated to piano idols of pop music. That year, he released Kostia's Interpretations of Billy Joel followed by Kostia's Interpretations of Elton John in 1998. The success of these projects led to a number of tribute recordings completed with world renowned instrumentalists such as Daryl Stuermer, guitarist from Genesis and Phil Collins Band; Paul McCandless, Windham Hill artist and reed and saxophone player from the band Oregon; and Windham Hill guitarist, Alex De Grassi. In 1999, Kostia composed the soundtrack for the motion picture Czar of Make Believe from Italian director Daniel Alegi, which won an award for Best Short Film at the Rhode Island International Film Festival. In 2001, Kostia released Piano Ocean, an album of original music recorded in collaboration with ex-Narada star Spencer Brewer. At the same time, he composed the soundtracks for a motion picture, The Play in the Modern Style, and a short film of Alex Boguslavsky entitled Blue Lamp. New Millennium also brought several other exciting projects to Kostia as well – a collaboration between LEGO and George Lucas Film, celebrated short animated film “Star Wars: “Revenge of the Brick.”; new Alex Boguslavsky's film “My Little Philosopher”; a pilot for an independent motion picture “Slow Poison.”; a collaboration with legendary band Sweetbottom (original Indi fusion group) – “Sweetbottom Live”; several new albums with old band mate, Daryl Stuermer – “GO!”, “Rewired”, “Retrofit”; debut album of Carmen Nickerson “Tomorrow Is Another Day” etc. One of Kostia's compositions made it to the world renown TV series “Sex and the City.” In addition to collaborations with well-established music groups and individual artists, Kostia has had his music performed by the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, Utah Symphony Orchestra, the internationally famed Veronica String Quartet, and Present Music cellist, Paul Gemainder, to name a few. Currently, Kostia is at work composing music for his next CD, performing solo piano concerts around the country, and recording and performing with the Daryl Stuermer Band. Future plans? "I am thinking about something I always wanted to do – a series of pieces for chorus, poem for string quartet, and six pictures for piano and orchestra," says Kostia. His journey continues. "Musical Columbus," as he is often called by journalists, is again on the way to discovering new worlds for himself and his fans. Kostia plays regularly at Fox River Congregational Church where he is a composer in residence.

Adrian Belew has spent his career on the cutting edge of guitar sounds, inventing the most forward-thinking tones to ever appear on record. His work as a solo artist and with King Crimson would be enough to land him on every guitarist's radar. But that's just one facet of his musical life, and he's famously spent time with some of the biggest artists of all time: David Bowie, Frank Zappa, Talking Heads, Nine Inch Nails. He even appears in places you'd never expect experimental guitar, like Paul Simon's “You Can Call Me Al.”To talk about Adrian, we called up Blair White. As co-owner of Nashville's Eastside Music Supply, White and Belew struck up a friendship and they ended up working together to decode some of the tones that Belew needed for the much-lauded Beat tour and beyond. Blair gives us some insight into Belew's playing, his process, and helps us solve a mystery.Sponsored by Vega-Trem: vegatrem.comFollow Nick: https://www.instagram.com/nickmillevoiFollow Jason: https://www.instagram.com/jasonshadrickGet at us: 100guitarists@premierguitar.comCall/Text: 319-423-9734Podcast powered by Sweetwater.

In Episode 327 of History in Five Songs with Martin Popoff, Martin ponders the question of which record truly marked the end of prog's golden era, tracing the genre's rise from King Crimson and Genesis through Pink Floyd and Yes, and debating where the vitality of prog finally gave way to punk, new wave, and beyond.

In Episode 327 of History in Five Songs with Martin Popoff, Martin ponders the question of which record truly marked the end of prog's golden era, tracing the genre's rise from King Crimson and Genesis through Pink Floyd and Yes, and debating where the vitality of prog finally gave way to punk, new wave, and beyond.

Click here to try it out!This week we celebrate the late, great Robert Redford the Bad Dads way: with a chaotic Top 5 Roberts and a deep dive into All the President's Men — the newsroom thriller where Redford and Dustin Hoffman painstakingly peel back Watergate until the whole presidency caves in. It's cigarettes, typewriters, and journalism that actually mattered.What we get intoRedford & Hoffman, peak charisma: why their odd-couple energy (and immaculate 70s fits) makes procedural journalism feel electric.The craft stuff: split-diopter shots, sound design that drowns phone calls in newsroom chaos, and that final typewriter barrage (“Nixon Resigns”) still landing like a gut punch.Truth vs. proof: editors wrestling with “we know it” versus “we can print it,” and why that tension hits even harder now.Deep Throat decoded: “follow the money,” the parking-garage paranoia, and how the film weaponises quiet dread.Top 5 Roberts (no De Niro, no Redford — house rules)We raid film, TV, music and pop culture for the best Bobs/Roberts/Robbies—from Sideshow Bob and Robert Englund to Robert Mitchum, Rob Reiner, Bob Odenkirk, Robert “Bob with bitch tits” Paulson, SpongeBob (Robert) Squarepants, and some gloriously fringe picks (RIP Rob Garrison, Cobra Kai's OG goon). Expect arguments, deep cuts, and at least one guided detour through Spinal Tap and King Crimson.The chaotic quiz: Redford or Red Ford (…or both)?Sidey springs a quiz where every answer is either Redford (the man) or red Ford (the car on screen). Cue confusion, Christine vs Cars, The Sting, All Is Lost, and a tricksy Winter Soldier “both” that broke brains and buzzers.Content note: swearing, savage tangents, and the occasional anatomical overshare. If you came for “balanced coverage,” you've wildly misread the brand.

BUY THE ALBUM HERE! Alright, this week we're drinking the blood from Oedipus's eyes with returning guest and friend of the show, the great Russell Sbriglia to talk about his new album Critique of Pure Desire which, according to Ryan Engley, sounds like if King Crimson were throwing an Eyes Wide Shut party. The album is a psychedelic mix of philosophy, psychoanalysis, literature, and film through Slavoj Žižek, Lacan, Hegel, Hitchcock, Melville, Antigone, Hamlet, Poe, Blade Runner, Chopin, La Jetée…and even features guest vocals from Žižek himself.We're talking the critique of pure desire, the strange logic of retroactivity, failed interpellations, hysterics, the split within the law, and future histories…Russ is Associate Professor of English at Seton Hall, co-editor with Slavoj of Subject Lessons, editor of Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Literature but Were Afraid to Ask Žižek, and the band Misconstruity.Big thanks to Russ — and if you're quick, the first two listeners to email zizekandsoon@gmail.com will get a copy of the album.And yes, Tim is still away…last I heard he reckoned that he's being followed by a chorus of old men who keep lamenting his decisions and spoiling the plot of his life…however I want to take this chance to say that Tim's first book has just been published with Palgrave: A Lacanian-Hegelian Perspective on Peace and Conflict Studies. It's now out in the world and you should all check it out. Congrats, Tim. Extra fish-head soup for you!GET TIM'S BOOK HERE!See you in Paris, Ž&…

In response to the death of the Ozzy Osborne this week, we've unlocked this patrons episode from last year about heavy metal, Black Sabbath and the Prince of Darkness himself. If you like this you can hear a lot more like it by becoming a patron at Patreon.com/LoveMessagePod.In this episode Jeremy raises a devil's horn salute to the gods and demons of heavy metal. He explores the etymology of the genre term, excavating its shared roots with acid rock, and explaining how heavy metal compliments our story here on LITM. With reference to Easy Rider and the misconceived ‘end of the ‘60s', we hear about how biker culture, the legacy of the blues and changing regimes of accumulation contributed to the anguished intensity expressed in the music of Led Zeppelin, King Crimson and Iron Butterfly. Jeremy also explores noise, feedback and distortion as the new aesthetic tools of metal, questions why people in the late 60s would want to explore occult and black magic ideas, and finishes with a deep dive on Black Sabbath, asking: was heavy metal an expression of the blues for white guys who's dad's worked in the car factories of Birmingham?Books and Films:Easy RiderRobert Walser - Running with the Devil: Power, Gender and Madness in Heavy Metal MusicTracklist:Steppenwolf - Born to be Wild Blue Cheer - Summertime Blues The Who - My Generation (Live 1968) Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man Iron Butterfly - Easy Rider (Let the Wind Pay the Way) Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath Black Sabbath - Paranoid Black Sabbath - War Pigs
Face the Music: An Electric Light Orchestra Song-By-Song Podcast
After the revolutionary In the Court of the Crimson King in 1969 King Crimson did a tour behind the record, which was a hit in the UK and a cult favorite in the U.S. Problem was, by the end, Robert Fripp and Pete Sinfield were the only full-time members left in the group. Fripp was able to talk Greg Lake, Michael Giles and Peter Giles to return to record In the Court of the Crimson King, but the tour would lead to a new lineup. Meanwhile, their second album became their highest charting in the UK, and was a sign of things to come.
Daryl Hall has been one of the most identifiable voices and songwriters on records and radios for over half a century and he's still doing it. As the lead singer and principal songwriter in Hall & Oates he had a string of hits (quite a few of them co-written with Sara and Janna Allen) that included "She's Gone," "Sara Smile," "Rich Girl," "One on One," "I Can't Go For That," "Make My Dreams (Come True)," "Private Eyes," "Out of Touch," and more. And as a solo artist he's made landmark records like Sacred Songs (with King Crimson's Robert Fripp) and last year's D album, a collaboration with Dave Stewart (Eurythmics). In this comprehensive chat, we talk about Hall's entire career, including his successful web series, Live From Daryl's House, and his work with record making legends like Arif Mardin, Thom Bell, Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff, The Temptations, Todd Rundgren, Elvis Costello, and Bob Clearmountain.
