Guitarist Ben Garnett has released a beautiful new album, Kite's Keep, and this episode features clips and insights from the project. The record includes collaborations with acoustic music greats familiar to listeners of this podcast, including Darol Anger and Brittany Haas. Ben's mentor, Chris Eldridge of the Punch Brothers, also appears, and Ben discusses the wisdom he's gained from other influential musicians in his life, among them his cousin, acclaimed rock guitarist Andy Timmons, the brilliant Julian Lage, and bandleader Missy Raines. He also talks about how playing tuba was helpful, and how he immersed himself in a range of musical styles—studying jazz in university before finding his way into Nashville's acoustic bluegrass scene.Like all my episodes, you can watch this on my YouTube channel or listen to the podcast on many podcast platforms, and I've also linked the transcript.

There was a time when hyper-violent, sexually charged OVAs ruled the Japanese home-video market—and few creators embodied that era more than Yasuomi Umetsu, the director behind Kite and Mezzo Forte. Kite even spawned an American live-action remake starring Samuel L. Jackson (which… let's be honest, barely anyone saw).Now, Umetsu is back. His latest work just hit U.S. theaters last week, and we're breaking down exactly what we thought of it.

In May 2004, 53-year-old Al Kite was found brutally tortured and murdered in his Colorado home after meeting a potential tenant. The killer meticulously planned the murder, abandoning Al's truck and cleaning the scene with bleach. Investigators believe the motive was the "thrill" of the kill, with experts linking the unusual hog-tying and torture methods to practices like falaka. The case remains cold, but DNA evidence suggests they may be able to identify the true identity of the killer, "Robert Cooper." --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

The lights drop in Atlanta and Paul McCartney steps into a room full of memory—and invention. We unpack how an icon in his eighties still delivers a two-hour-forty marathon by leaning on tight harmonies, a punchy horn section, and the kind of live tech that lets Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite explode off a modern stage. The show's emotional peak arrives when Paul sings I've Got a Feeling with John via Get Back footage, a moment that proves technology can connect past and present without cheapening either one.From there we chase the thread of discovery. Remember when The Doors felt brand new again in 1980? A radio deep dive, Apocalypse Now, and a greatest hits record turned Hello, I Love You and Riders on the Storm into fresh obsessions for a new generation. We map that rush forward and backward: how L.A. Woman and Morrison Hotel still punch, how Mr. Mojo Risin' became every teenager's riddle. Along the way, we decode the stories behind The Rolling Stones' Get Off of My Cloud and Neil Diamond's Cracklin' Rosie, and how fame, loneliness, and late-night singalongs sneak into pop myth.Then we give American Beauty the close listen it deserves. From Box of Rain's tenderness to Ripple's campfire wisdom and Truckin's road-scarred grin, we talk sequencing, sunshine daydream codas, and the tradition behind I Know You Rider. We round out the tour with U2's Boy—lean, urgent, and still startling—and a Ramones reappraisal that finds great songs beneath Phil Spector's glossy wall. Through it all, one idea keeps returning: artists adapt, listeners evolve, and the best songs keep meeting us where we are.If that resonates, hit play, follow the show, and share it with a friend who loves live music and music history. Leave a review to tell us which song hit you differently this time—we'll feature our favorite takes on a future episode.Send us a one-way message. We can't answer you back directly, but it could be part of a future Music In My Shoes Mailbag!!!

Al Kite's murder is one of the most chilling and perplexing unsolved cases in Colorado. In 2004, the 53-year-old Aurora man rented out his basement to a tenant who turned out to be a sadistic killer operating under a fake identity. The tenant brutally tortured Kite over several hours before murdering him, then vanished without a trace, leaving behind no forensic evidence and using multiple false identities. Despite a composite sketch and nationwide investigation, the killer, described as having an Eastern European accent, remains unidentified. Theories suggest he may have been a professional assassin or serial predator, but to this day, the case remains a haunting mystery, with investigators still pursuing leads in hopes of bringing justice to Kite's family.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Whether he's talking training, competition mindset, or the feeling of complete freedom that comes from harnessing wind and water as one — Guy's story is all about flow, focus, and living a life built around the ocean. When he's not competing or coaching, you'll find him exploring new breaks, fine-tuning foil setups, and chasing that perfect connection between power, glide, and silence. Adz and Guy sit down and chat about his experiences and froth for riding the oceans waves.

In this episode, we sit down with guitarist and composer Ben Garnett to explore his new sophomore album Kite's Keep. We dig into the creative process behind the record — from world-building and sonic narrative to the delicate balance of ensemble interplay. We talk about how Ben frames the guitar not just as a lead instrument but as a collaborator in the story, weaving through textures, dynamic shifts, and conversational exchanges. We also break down his production and mixing choices, how he works with his collaborators (Darol Anger, Brittany Haas, Chris Eldridge, Ethan Jodziewicz, Paul Kowert, Matt Glassmeyer), and the emotional arc he designed across the tracklist. Whether you produce acoustic music, write for small ensembles, or just love hearing how a record is constructed from the inside out, this episode offers insights you can apply to your own musical projects.Topics Discussed in the Episode:Ben Garnett's artistic vision behind Kite's KeepApproaches to “world-building” in acoustic musicRole of instrumentation & ensemble interplayGuitar as collaborator: composing from inside the textureRecording, mixing & sonic decisions (space, balance, dynamics)Working with notable collaborators and improvisation vs structureCreative lessons & takeaways from the making of Kite's KeepConnect with Us:Chris Jacobie: Instagram • Website • Free Creative Connection ChatJP Ruggieri: Instagram • Website • PatreonBen Garnett: Website • InstagramWays to Support This Podcast:Visit our websites for show updates & extra resourcesShare this episode with fellow producers, instrumentalists, and music fansLeave us a review on your preferred podcast platformCheck out Kite's Keep and related music from Ben Garnett
In this week's episode, we're joined by the freshly crowned Farmers Weekly Dairy Farmers of the Year, Nicola and John Young. Hosts Will Evans and Ben Eagle dive into the Youngs' remarkable journey—from starting with just 80 cows to building a thriving herd of over 500, averaging 14,000 litres and almost 1,000kg of milk solids per cow per year. Joined by Kite's David Keiley, the conversation explores the history of their business growth, early-stage succession planning, technical herd performance, genetic strategy, key focus areas, business performance, current investments, and future plans. They also reflect on what it means to be recognised at the top of their industry—and what that recognition means to others. Sadly, there isn't nearly as much positivity in Chris Walkland's milk market report this week, but it's essential listening for anyone keeping an eye on dairy trends.

I can love without losing myself,And be loved just as I am.My task is to ask and decide what's true,Not live out another's dream.☉We are in the final stages (degrees) of perfecting ourselves in preparation for entering the world of relationship. This is symbolized astrologically by Venus now moving through the last few degrees of Virgo and entering Libra Monday. Zero degrees of Libra marks the midway point in the yearly cycle indicating a turning point from building up (inhaling) to giving away (exhaling). This year we have had this point function as the tail of a “Kite” formation as it is opposite to Saturn and Neptune while in a grand trine with Pluto and Uranus. Mars first crossed this point August 7th, Mercury September 18th, the Sun September 22nd, and now, on Monday Venus! These important dates (and this entire period) indicate a period where profound realizations and changes can and have occurred both externally and deep within our psyches. In today's reports (Yes, there are two!) I go in depth into the meaning of these times, what challenges are presenting themselves, and how to best use them as opportunities for growth. Probably the easiest and shortest way to sum it up is that we are in a time of reckoning. Reckoning with our past, with ourselves, with our relationships, and with our society. It is a time when false facades, deceitfulness and covert activities breakdown, fail, and crack open to reveal hidden secrets, truths, and solid reality. You might think that everyone would shout out and jump for joy! However, as delicate, frail, wounded, and longing humans, we have innocently created so many illusions, expectations, fantasies, and projections that it can be quite shocking when the truth emerges. Many institutions, public figures, respected citizens, and people you know are being humbled by the mistakes they have made in the past, erroneous assumptions, self-deceptions, and false identities they can no longer maintain. In other words “The s**t is hitting the fan!” The beauty of the kite configuration is that it indicates the possibility of using the wind to fly higher than we have yet been able to! For truth seekers who are passionately seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and the world, this is an amazing time! With the lies and deceptions exposed and swept away, we can begin building our new paradigm on firm foundations of truth. Our relationships can mirror back to us the harmony, peace and joy that comes from within as we align with our soul purpose. And ultimately, over time, the collective will awaken and expand their capacity to care, love, and support each other and mother nature. So, while grieving that which is no longer working and needs to go, let's keep hope in our hearts as we begin to rebuild a new world!

Having invaded his home in Hood River, commandeered his wifi, made cups of English tea, used his electricity to top up the airbeds, charged all electronic devices, and had a good poo, we figured we ought to sit down and do a podcast with the man of the hour, Ewan Jaspan. Ewan has been on Freddie and Liam's radar for decades as a professional kiteboarding athlete, pioneer amongst both the freestyle and wakestyle, and a standout filmmaker. Whilst he still pushes hard on the kite, he has been as hooked by foiling as the rest of us and rarely a windy day at the hatchery will go by without him sending a few laps with a paddle or parawing in hand.Nowadays Ewan is the lead parawing and kite designer for Naish who will soon by release the appropriately named 'Hatch' parawing. This is his baby from start to finish and is a firm favourite amongst those locals lucky enough to have experienced the prototype iterations through its development. It is a product we are excited to see hit the market.We hope you enjoy what we do. Rate us 5 stars on the podcast platforms, subscribe to our YouTube which now has some cool videos on there and send us a few quid on www.buymeacoffee.com/gfpodcast so we can keep doing trips and bringing you content recorded face-to-face, which we think produces much better results.Until next time, enjoy!
CJ takes the wheel this week and throws some heavy-hitting topics at the crew! First up, he challenges Rico: where would you rank Kite from Hunter x Hunter if he joined the Phantom Troupe? Then the debate gets heated as CJ and Rico go back and forth on which DBZ move would be the most destructive power a human could inherit — Destructo Disc or Kamehameha?The conversation doesn't stop there. CJ raises the question that stumps everyone: who are the strongest Naruto characters without being a Hokage, Uchiha, or Senju? Finally, the crew wraps up with a breakdown of One Piece episode 1144, including Rico's fresh takes on Gear 5 and what it means going forward.Tune in for debates, laughs, and some of the spiciest anime hot takes yet!
An Aries Full Moon featuring a Quadriform aspect pattern highlights the first half of October. We also have Pluto turning direct, tons of Mercury and Venus aspects, and more! In my previous forecast, I shifted from a chronological format to a theme-based format, with the most important events first. In response to your feedback, this time I'm trying a “best of both” approach. I start with the new format, but end with a concise chronological listing. Its individual events link to the appropriate theme-based sections. Please let me know what you think of this hybrid approach at benjamin@astroshaman.com. Resources Deep Dive Trauma Healing.

Billions of years ago, Mars may have looked less like the barren red desert we know today and more like Earth—with a blue sky, flowing rivers, and even seas. What happened to turn a once-habitable world into the frozen, lifeless planet we see now?On this episode of Big Brains, University of Chicago geophysical scientist Edwin Kite takes us on a journey through Mars' hidden past. From evidence of a lost carbon cycle to theories about ancient climate swings, Kite's research is rewriting the story of the Red Planet. But it's not just about the past—his work is also at the forefront of a provocative question: could humanity one day terraform Mars and make it a living world again?

A Virgo Solar Eclipse – 2025's strongest lunation – highlights the second half of September. We'll also feel the impact of a potent Autumn Equinox chart, an intense Mars-Pluto square, and much more! I also announce September's free session winner. I've also changed my forecast format. Instead of the chronological, day-by-day format I've used for 20+ years, I'm now putting the most important things first. I'm also focusing more on larger themes, rather than one-off events. I believe you'll find this new approach more easy and helpful in understanding your astrological opportunities! I'd love to know what you think.
