En este episodio exploramos Chelsea Girl, el debut solista de Nico, un álbum de 1967 que mezcla folk barroco y chamber pop con una atmósfera melancólica y una de las voces más distintivas de su generación. Con canciones escritas por Jackson Browne, Lou Reed y colaboraciones ligadas al círculo de Bob Dylan y The Velvet Underground, el disco es un retrato de una época donde la creatividad nacía del contacto constante entre artistas. A partir de ahí, hablamos de la enorme influencia cultural de las escenas musicales de los años 60 y 70, de la desaparición de los terceros espacios donde florecían estas comunidades y de cómo el aparente declive del dominio de la tecnología y las redes sociales podría estar marcando el inicio de una nueva etapa para la cultura y la creación artística.

This week, a continuation of our series called “In The Shadow Of…”, where we compare bands to a well-established mainstream act. This is not about copycats, but about artists that have similar vibes, share a sonic soundscape, or whose songwriting and playing styles are sympatico. This is another band near and dear to both of you humble hosts. A band that sits atop the pedestal of all things “heavy”. A band that defined metal in the 80s and 90s while becoming somewhat polarizing in more recent years; the iconic METALLICA! Join us as we discover other bands who were influenced and inspired by this hella great band. What's this InObscuria thing? We're a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This is not a statement about bands trying to copy one another, but more that they have a shared sound and vision. It's been said that there is no originality left in rock n' roll and also been stated that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. As always, we hope we turn you onto something new! Songs this week include: Trivium – “Unrepentant” from The Crusade (2006) Bloodstain – “Black Swan” from I Am Death - EP(2024) Thrasherwolf – “Shameless Loser” from Inside The Sickened Mind (2024) Evile – “Head Of The Demon” from Skull (2013) Machine Head – “Slanderous” from The Blackening (2007) Tantara – “Human Mutation” from Based On Evil (2012) ThrashWall – “War Outside The Wall” from ThrashWall(2020) Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/ https://bonelesspodcasting.com/shows/in-obscuria https://www.facebook.com/InObscuria https://twitter.com/inobscuria https://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/ Buy cool stuff with our logo on it: InObscuria Store Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/ If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/ If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/

Episode 072: We are pulling back the curtain on the grand illusions of life this week, delivering a heavy dose of reality to all those polished, idealized dreams we hold onto. We begin with the shimmering, melancholic haze of Beach House, before facing the sobering resignation of Jim Lindberg. We then pivot to the gritty frustration of Middle Class Rut, transition into the poignant social commentary of Stevie Wonder, and drift into the deceptively serene, bittersweet piano balladry of Lou Reed. We close out our set by letting Crowded House remind us exactly why even our most beautiful dreams are eventually forced to reconcile with the stark, unvarnished truth. It's a six-track exploration of disillusionment, the sobering light of day, and the messy reality of what happens when the fantasy fades.   Apple Podcasts Instagram Spotify Playlist Official Site

Este podcast está dedicado a nuestros montes, nuestros bosques, nuestros pueblos, nuestras raíces y nuestra infancia. Y nos hacemos eco de esta carta firmada por Ángel Malanda Lafuente, peón forestal en ELIF A3 El Barco de Ávila.  "El problema de ser un héroeSoy bombero forestal, aunque no lo diga mi categoría ni mi contrato. Soy persona, antes que nada. Tengo sentimientos, sufro, me duele lo que veo, tengo miedo, cada vez más, tanto cuanto mayor es la cantidad de riesgos que asumes. Nunca me gustó la etiqueta: los y las bomberas forestales somos héroes/heroínas. Es mucha responsabilidad, yo no la quiero. No quiero perder mi vida, la única que tengo, por salvar tu chalet levantado allí donde había bosque, cuando lo has rodeado de arizónicas y no has desbrozado ni un metro cuadrado en torno a él.He perdido toda mi infancia y adolescencia en 2 días. Puedo tachar mis paraísos cercanos en un macabro sile/nole como hacíamos de críos con los cromos. El Castañar del Tiemblo, nole. Las Cabreras en S.Martin de Valdeiglesias, nole. Valle de Hiruelas, nole. Embalse de Picadas, nole. Cerro Valdenoches, Alto la Mira, Cancho el Guarro... no ha quedado nada. Mi familia evacuada y yo intentando como una hormiguita que el fuego no se descuelgue por las laderas de Piedralaves, trabajando 8 horas con una azada frente a un monstruo. Y el héroe tiene que seguir ahí, incólume, recto, haciendo frente a algo jamás visto, y además tengo que salvar tu casa, tu pueblo, tus animales y escuchar tus insultos. ¿Crees que no querría hacer más? ¿Crees que tengo superpoderes? ¿No crees que si estoy parado es porque espero instrucciones? ¿Puede ser que esté protegiendo mi integridad física, mi vida? ¿Sabes?, a mí me esperan en casa, con inquietud, desasosiego, y no quiero faltar a la cita con el abrazo de mi compañera. Sufren también y mucho nuestras parejas, que son bastante más héroes y heroínas que nosotras.Soy persona, como tú, vivo en el rural y lloro como tú, y estoy roto, muy roto. No duermo, no descanso, estoy deshidratado, apenas como, me quito la capa de héroe y qué queda, solo pellejo, un cuerpo maltratado por la radiación, el humo, los golpes, las caminatas, el tam tam del batefuegos, el arriba y abajo de la azada, el estremecedor sonido del fuego que te recuerda lo pequeñito que somos. Y maltratado también por mi empresa, que regatea en material, que te dota de las herramientas más baratas y en las cantidades más míseras, que no piensa en tu ergonomía, en tus dolores, en tu efectividad frente a la llama. Y maltratado por la Administración que gestiona (mal) tus impuestos, que te niega la categoría, derechos ya recogidos en una ley, que no forma y especializa a sus trabajadores. Y maltratado, también, por la sociedad, esta sociedad egoísta, individualista, sin empatía, desconectada de su entorno, de su realidad más inmediata, que no nos acompañó en las manifestaciones, que se olvida de nosotras una vez desaparece el humo y que sigue votando por este modelo suicida y demencial que deja que sea el fuego quien gestione el territorio.Para ser justo y honesto, muchas personas me hacen llegar su admiración y respeto por el trabajo que hacemos. De verdad, de corazón. Por ellos y ellas sigo aquí.Y por favor, no me pongas la capa, solo soy una persona intentando hacer lo mejor como mejor sabe y puede. Solo eso, nada más, nunca un héroe"Ángel Malanda Lafuente,    LOVE OF LESBIAN - La HermandadLOVE OF LESBIAN - Noches ReversiblesLOVE OF LESBIAN - Un Día en el ParqueGORILLAZ - Some Kind of Nature (ft Lou Reed)COLDPLAY - ParadiseBIFFY CLYRO - MountainsFLORENCE + THE MACHINE - Rabbit Heart (Raise it Up)EDDIE VEDDER - SocietyAMARAL - Hacia Lo SalvajeNEIL YOUNG - Rocking In a Free WorldRAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - Take the Power BackAURORA - The SeedPULP - The TreesEscuchar audio

jD convenes the expert panel to dissect "700 Ft Ceiling," the song that lands like a baseball bat to the face right in the middle of Trouble at the Henhouse.The conversation starts warm — everyone's summertime Hip pick, from "Membership" to "Morning Moon" to "Summer's Killing Us" — before turning to the puzzle at the centre of the track: what exactly is a 700-foot ceiling? (Aviation term. Lowest layer of broken or overcast cloud sitting 700 feet above ground.)The panel unpacks Gord's habit of collecting phrases for their sound rather than their meaning, the wintery outdoor-rink imagery, and the Lou Reed-flat melody that barely distinguishes verse from chorus.Things get spicy on placement. Tracy calls it filler and skips it. Mikk and Jamie agree the song detonates a gorgeous opening run — "Gift Shop," "Springtime in Vienna," "Ahead by a Century," "Don't Wake Daddy," "Flamenco" — and kicks off what Jamie dubs the album's weird second half alongside "Butts Wigglin'" and "Coconut Cream." The Kids in the Hall theory gets floated. So does the grunge theory. Everyone concedes it hit much harder live than it ever did on record.Then the episode's real gift: Mick and Jamie tell the story of renting the Bathhouse for a weekend — sleeping in the studio, playing pool while spinning We Are the Same on vinyl, Billy Ray wandering in at 10pm with stories, engineer Niles behind the board, Gord's training bike still parked where he left it. Once-in-a-lifetime stuff, told well.Next week's shuffle: "Gus: The Polar Bear from Central Park" from In Between Evolution.Key Quotes"It's like an alarm clock goes off." — Mik, on where the song lands on the album"It is like a baseball bat in the face." — jD"Think about how many shows they played after 2004 that they did not play this song. That's why it ranks low. Guys, I'm telling it like it is." — Jamie"I think this is kind of Gord's secret talent — he listens better than everybody." — Mik"He says '700-foot ceiling' like four times, but the second or third time it's '700 and sinking,' which is just cool." — Jamie"It kind of felt very lived in. There was nothing you couldn't touch, nothing you couldn't sit on." — Mik, on the Bathhouse"I'll get emotional if I talk about it." — Jamie, on being shown the band's jam space"Well, I know what we forgot to do this week.

Welcome to Off The Beat and Track!In this special episode, host Stu Whiffen sits down with the incredible Joan As Police Woman—the acclaimed singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary music.Known for her soulful vocals, fearless songwriting, and genre-defying blend of art rock, indie, jazz, soul, and alternative music, Joan As Police Woman has built a remarkable career through critically acclaimed solo albums and collaborations with artists including Lou Reed, Rufus Wainwright, Antony and the Johnsons, and David Sylvian. In this conversation, Joan reflects on her creative journey, the stories behind her music, and the passion that continues to drive her artistry.

1976. You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs.Well, silly or not, the charts of this fascinating year were full of big, big hits. Crowdpleasers, I hear you cry? Well, whatever way you view 1976, and many so-called rock journos and hacks would do so rather disdainfully, the twelve months bookended by number ones by Queen and Johnny Mathis (!) were certainly colourful and (checks notes for suitable adjective) erm, eclectic. Whilst certain history threads (I'm looking at you again Channel 5) will tell you that everyone was embracing bondage trousers, safety pins and other overused punk stereotypes, the truth was that the cash registers at Woolworths were ringing to the sounds of everything from the Greek smock admirer Demis Roussos, Dutch fairground dwelling country swingers Pussycat and those loveable Rock and Roll revivalists and brothel creeper wearing funsters Showaddywaddy.And the biggest selling single of the year - well that would be the Brotherhood of Man's lip smacking shoe shuffler and Eurovision winning rocket.Yes, punk would no doubt influence the coming years of popular culture, but not whilst The Wurzels were ploughing the pop fields of '76.The world of compilations was shifting up a gear too as the album charts saw TV advertising become a major factor in changing the landscape of big sellers with huge number one sellers from the kids favourites Slim Whitman, Bert Weedon, Glen Campbell and The Beach Boys, who remained at number one for ten consecutive weeks through that Hot, Hot, Hot summer of 1976. Good vibrations indeed!And in the jet-pack future of the 21st Century, how much fun does 1976 look? Well, pop kids, let the Guardian's head rock and pop critic Alexis Petridis and author Ian Wade guide you through it courtesy of the spanking NOW Yearbook 1976.The emergence of the stadium rock, pop sound10cc inventing Paranoid AndroidGuilty Pleasures (or not!)The wonderfully weird world of FoxDisco - hello!And along the way, rediscover the shimmering sounds that kept us sane through the heatwave, explore how CB radio (and questionable radio 1 DJs, mate) became a real thing (but not by The Real Thing), consider what Cliff Richard and Lou Reed may have discussed in Studio 54, which single was Wadey's first, which artist's concert Alexis was joined by Johnny Trunk at, the story of Ruby Flipper and the Blue Peter garden, which acts not to get stuck in a lift with and why David Dundas is not struggling to find funds for his next pair of jeans.Confused? Lost? Over-stimulated? You're in great pop company then in 1976. And we wouldn't have it any other way.Whether you were there or are rediscovering this amazing pop year for the first time, grab a cool drink, and jump onboard. Hosted on Acast.

We open the show with a deep dive into Lou Reed's classic junkie anthem "Waiting for the Man" before reading incredible listener stories involving MDMA-assisted therapy, smashing open a safe with an axe for OxyContin, smoking crack in an airplane bathroom, a horrific flesh-eating abscess, and surviving Antabuse mixed with opioids. Then legendary author Jerry Stahl returns for one of the funniest and deepest conversations Dopey has ever had. Jerry shares never-before-heard stories about writing for Twin Peaks, working with David Lynch and Ben Stiller, learning from Hubert Selby Jr., meeting William Burroughs' son, Oprah admitting she loved crack, surviving heroin addiction, and why kindness matters more than bitterness.

We're gonna make you an offer you can't refuse...because this week, we go way back to discuss some of our favorite songs of 1972 with the marvelous Anne Richmond Boston from The Swimming Pool Q's! Possessing a crystalline voice, Anne's journey led her from church and high school choirs to the quirky new wave of the Swimming Pool Q's. Following their debut album The Deep End on DB Records in 1981, the Q's were one of the first Atlanta/Athens areas bands to be snapped up by a major label. For A&M, they recorded their self-titled second album (1984) and Blue Tomorrow (1986). A major tour with Lou Reed ensued, as did a major label makeover. Anne left the Q's in 1987, with her terrific solo debut, The Big House of Time (largely written by and recorded with then husband Rob Gal from The Coolies) following for DB in 1990. With such a promising start to her solo career, surely a second album was hot on its heels. Right??? Well, the intended follow up, I Should Be Happy, was recorded, roughly mixed, and then shelved for 30+ years for unknown reasons. Fortunately, the tapes were revitalized, revamped, and are at long last released! It's a beautiful song cycle about longing and loss, featuring a notable cast of musicians and singers. That should make us ALL happy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After Lou Reed tells him off mid-treadmill (entirely inside Bert's head), Bert starts deleting Jane's Addiction and Radiohead from his library, relives Shane Gillis walking out of a Wilco concert after five seconds, and learns his most-played song of all time is "Higher" by Creed. From there, the Bears get into Tom's tour of Kid Rock's 20,000-square-foot, two-bedroom replica White House and meeting Jimmy John from Jimmy John's, a deep dive on Subway Takes and why Bert believes celebrity hot takes are all fake, the viral "white people shouldn't sit on stoops in Bed-Stuy" debate, and a deeply satisfying story of a first-class line cutter getting humbled in front of Viola Davis. Bert also opens up about the final days of his five-and-a-half-month sobriety run, including the recovery books, journaling on planes, and why his first drink back is happening at his daughter Georgia's University of Oregon graduation before going scorched earth on the dad who posted his 4-year-old breaking a rope swing "world record" in Moab. Plus: the MyPillow guy, the thumb-to-arm gut health test, Garth Brooks friendship fantasies, and why Moby would hate them both.

Ian speaks with Noah Lennox and Pete Kember—aka Panda Bear and Sonic Boom—about the annoying Victor Wembanyama, ditching Spotify, the former glory of the charts, Lou Reed's Pickwick era, making music that makes them laugh, the evolution of their collaborative relationship, annoying-sounding keyboards, fostering a community that values art, and their sublime new record, A ? OF WHEN.  "A ? OF WHEN" AVAILABLE NOW (BUT NOT ON SPOTIFY)

"Real Life Evolution" With close to ten brilliant albums under her belt, including Real Life, To Survive and The Classic, it's hard to think of a more critically-acclaimed artist in recent memory than singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joan As Police Woman. After studying music as a violinist at the College of Fine Arts at Boston University with her lifelong friend Mary Timony of Helium, the Maine-born Joan Wasser Wasser played in punk bands, joined the Dambuilders, formed Black Beetle and played with Those Bastard Souls and Antony and the Johnsons. I'm cutting corners here, but over the course of her winning career, Wasser has become one of the most in-demand musicians on the planet. She's played, recorded and toured with the likes of Iggy Pop, Damon Albarn, Rufus Wainwright, Elton John, Tony Allen, Lou Reed, Sheryl Crow, Lloyd Cole, Joseph Arthur, Scissor Sisters, Tanya Donelly, David Sylvan and John Cale, just to name a few. Joan As Policewoman's new album finds Wasser revisiting her Real Life album on the occasion of its twentieth anniversary. Reimagined with soul, grace and musical precision, Real Life Evolution not only demonstrates the elasticity of the original compositions, it also demonstrates how art can be reimagined and reinterpreted by the artist themselves. Featuring guest like Iggy Pop and Krystle Warren, Real Life Evolution simmers with reggae grooves, jazzy shuffles, and spare, indie rock ache and it's not only the perfect companion to the original, it stands proudly by itself. www.joanaspolicewoman.com (http://www.joanaspolicewoman.com) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers: IG + BLUESKY + THREADS: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

How do you actually put a price on a music catalog in 2026?    In this panel from our recent Grow the TAM event, Billboard's Elizabeth Dilts Marshall sits down with three experts who each value catalogs from a completely different angle. Rob Frech of Raine Group has advised on catalog and M&A deals for Warner Music Group, Quality Control, and Downtown. Tom Sarig spent decades managing artists like Lou Reed and Bryan Ferry before launching Antifragile Equity Partners to acquire mid tier music catalogs. And Monica Corton of Go to Eleven Entertainment works with songwriters, artists, and producers across publishing, marketing, and royalty management, helping them maximize the value of their catalogs.   The conversation covers who is actually buying music catalogs right now, why active catalog management might matter more than the multiple you pay, how sync licensing drives real catalog growth, what tools like Disco and Luminate are doing to modernize catalog data and rights management, and how AI licensing and name, image, and likeness rights are starting to change what these assets are worth.   If you work in music publishing, catalog acquisition, artist management, or music finance, this episode breaks down exactly how catalog valuation is evolving heading into 2030.   The Music Tectonics podcast goes beneath the surface of the music industry to explore how technology is changing the way business gets done.

There’a a whole half a year to go! Start the second half strong with new habits. Free 1 hour workshop July 1 | 12 noon ET Sign up here ____________________ You’re preparing for retirement. For many of us, there’s another transition nestled within that one. It comes with joy and little instruction – becoming a grandparent. Celia Dodd, a journalist of 30+ years and grandmother of six, has written the book many grandparents wish they had: one that celebrates the delight and makes room for the honest, complicated feelings nobody admits out loud: Grand Expectations: The Joys and Dilemmas of Being a Grandparent. This conversation is about permission. Permission to feel torn between the grandchildren you adore and the next chapter you’ve spent years planning. Permission to be your own version of a grandparent rather than the one in your head. Permission to support without interfering, to say no without guilt, and to design these special years deliberately instead of drifting into them. Celia Dodd joins us from London. _________________________ Bio Celia Dodd is a journalist and author who wrote regularly for The Times of London, the Independent and other national newspapers and magazines, focussing on relationships, family life, health and education. She also wrote profiles of interesting people, including Gordon Ramsay, Lou Reed and actress Juliet Stevenson.  After thirty years as a journalist she turned to writing books about parenting and major transitions in life, such as the empty nest and retirement. They are subjects close to her heart as well as her own stage in life.  Her new book is Grand Expectations: The Joys and Dilemmas of Being a Grandparent.  She's also written All Grown Up: Nurturing relationships with adult children,  Not Fade Away: How to thrive in retirement, The Empty Nest: Your changing family, your new direction  and Conversations with Mothers and Daughters. Celia has two adult sons and a daughter, and six grandchildren. ______________________ For More on Celia Dodd Grand Expectations: The Joys and Dilemmas of Being a Grandparent Celia Dodd’s first visit with us: All Grown Up (on relationships with adult children, and thriving in retirement) _______________________ Retirement Podcast Conversations You’ll Also Love The Grandparenting Blueprint – Linda & Richard Eyre (Part One) The Mindful Grandparent – Dr. Shirley Showalter’ Grandparents' Day – Kerry Byrne & Ted Page ________________________ Wise Quotes On Grandparenting & Purpose “Grandparenting has been life-enhancing in so many different ways. It's brought me a new purpose.” On Being a Grandparent & Being Yourself “It's about being your own version of a grandparent.” On Relationships with Adult Children “There’s a fine line is between being supportive and interfering…Don't give advice unless they ask for it.” __________________________ About The Retirement Wisdom Podcast There are many podcasts on retirement, often hosted by financial advisors with their own financial motives, that cover the money side of the street.

This week on "How We Heard It," your hosts talk about bands and singers they haven't mentioned often on the show but who deserve to have their stories told. For example: How did Lauryn Hill squander the record-breaking fame and adulation for her solo debut so badly that she never released another studio album? Or why didn't Lou Reed's counterpart in The Velvet Underground have anything close to Reed's success? Then there's the Australian pop sensation who has been churning out hits since the 1980s and has achieved Madonna-like status around the world, even though in the U.S. she's only a minor star ... because she HASN'T had a scandal? Also, there's the British act that's been a phenomenon all across Europe but has proven too acerbic for Americans. The episode includes others, from Marty Stuart and The Band to Men At Work and Jamiroquai. And find out what happened to the Chainsmokers during the 2020 pandemic that took them from the middle of everything right off the radar. That's show business: You can go from overwhelming success one minute to obscurity the next. But it's still better than some mind-numbing office job.

For today's episode I thought I'd share an archived interview from around twelve years ago, that I did with session drumming legend - Clem Cattini.Based in Stoke Newington, UK - Clem Cattini is an English drummer who was not only a member of 'The Tornados' but so prominent in the 50's, 60's and 70's that he is actually regarded as one of the most prolific drummers in UK recording history, appearing on hundreds of recordings by artists like Cliff Richard, Lou Reed, Marc Bolan, The Kinks, Herman's Hermits, The Yardbirds and Tom Jones. Clem and I talk about his work with a young Jimmy Page, how hard it was to get lessons back in the day, songwriting and of course his legendary drumming career - where he played on over 40 UK number one singles.For more information on Clem or his work, please search for him across all socials or google.For further information on Travis Marc or 'Musicians-Mentor' website, please visit ⁠www.musicians-mentor.com⁠ As usual, thanks for checking out the channel and if you're getting anything useful from my content, please feel free to comment, like, share and subscribe, thank you.

Today, we're putting The Tonearm's needle on Stephen Emmer, a Dutch composer and musician based in Amsterdam. Stephen came up in the late 70s post-punk underground, and his band Minny Pops was the first international act signed to Factory Records. He is a curious genre-explorer who has worked with Lou Reed, Chaka Khan, Tony Visconti, Trevor Horn, Flood, and many others.His latest album, Asymmetrical Dot, is a chamber work rooted in his Dutch-Indonesian heritage, built around sustained tones, wordless vocals, vibraphone, and strings. The record came out of a year when his mother died, and his first grandson was born, and the contracting themes of grief and arrival appear throughout the work.We cover the album, his hearing loss, and why he walked away from commercial work to make the most personal music of his career.(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Stephen Emmer's Asymmetrical Dot)—Dig Deeper• Artist and Albums:Visit Stephen Emmer at stephenemmer.com and follow him on Bluesky, Instagram, and YouTubePurchase Stephen Emmer's album Asymmetrical Dot from Bandcamp or Qobuz and listen on your streaming platform of choiceThe two previous installments in the 'introspective trilogy': Maison Melody (2020) and Mt.

Well he's been banned from doing any DIY (read: superglueing things to walls) by his wife, so that's freed up a lot of his time.Elsewhere there's some intense Cymru Connecting, and a controversial crisp-based Made Up Game involving everyone's favourite owner of a bell tower.Got an important message to send Canope Fibbs, the CEO of Rubadubdub Productions?

Music critic Barry Walters joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and Christian Barter to discuss his new book, Mighty Real: A History of LGBTQ Music 1969-2000. Walters talks about how he chose the artists that he includes in his book and explains how musicians like David Bowie, Lou Reed, Grace Jones, and Sylvester saved his life. He explores how social repression shaped and complicated work from LGBTQ bands, how queer acts like Queen were pigeonholed by music critics, and how mainstream groups like Nirvana spoke to the LGBTQ experience. He talks about his personal connection to Madonna's work and reads from Mighty Real.To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

Madeline, Julian, and Emilio continue their cycle of Offbeat Musicals with a "Two-Shot" on a pair of turn-of-the-millennium glam-rock extravaganzas: Todd Haynes' "Velvet Goldmine" (1998) and John Cameron Mitchell's "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" (2001). Marking their fifth - yes, fifth - discussion on a Todd Haynes film, the trio begin by unpacking "Velvet Goldmine" and its refraction of the legacies of 1970s glam-rock icons such as David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, T. Rex, and Roxy Music. Presented in "Citizen Kane"-like fashion, the film conveys a distinct impression of a well-known popular music era without ever mentioning any of the aforementioned artists by name, and wandering in and out of the realms that often classify a musical. Premiering around the same time off-Broadway was the show that would then be adapted into the second film of focus, "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," unambiguously a musical, but one for people who may less typically gravitate to the genre. Drawing from many of the same influences in music, "Hedwig" portrays the unique story of the titular performer, from her fraught upbringing in East Berlin to her stateside music career with backing band the Angry Inch, and the numerous experiences that fan her rock-and-roll flames along the way.Listen to Dougie's Glam-a-Rama here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOjsoFA6he4_bWfjlCtNFoPf9Xr2cOofn&si=Vth2DPJed7RKNa7xIf you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.

It's been many years and many albums since our introduction to Denmark's Kashmir, and while the line-up stayed the same, the sound has evolved. This time we check out the 2005 album No Balance Palace, with a studio legend (Tony Visconti) behind the board, and two more legends (David Bowie and Lou Reed) making appearances. Kashmir didn't work for us the first time around, will maturity and a trio of big names help us connect with the band?   Songs In This Episode Intro - Jewel Drop 9:14 - Kalifornia 11:26 - The Cynic 14:14 - The Curse Of Being A Girl 26:09 - She's Made Of Chalk 21:33 - Snowman 28:21 - Black Building Outro - No Balance Palace   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

We look at this Harvard Business Review Press book about Taylor Swift. For more about the book, see here. There's Nothing Like This: The Strategic Genius of Taylor Swift, reviewed This book is certainly readable. As someone who is aware of who she is, knows a few songs, and has teenagers who may have even gone to see her in concert there are reasons why this book was of potential interest for reviewing. The author also cites a lot of business management and thoughtful marketing thinkers too, Clayton Christiansen and Seth Godin yes we are talking about you here. Similarly words like pivot and pilot are used with business dev enthusiasm. This is all fine and dandy, but, as we read it, it was hard not to wonder if this was an attempt to shoehorn the career of Taylor Swift into a startup ethos vibe. The other question, and challenge in reading this narrative, was that, were we looking at Taylor Swift's career through the prism of a confirmation bias. She was, now is, wildly successful for sure, but does that mean that all of her albums, and her musical steps, and decisions made were actually that strategic or as carefully considered as the subtitle of this book would like us to think? As Bill Gates may have said, success can be a lousy teacher. All the more so when you consider musical careers. Lou Reed was an awful grump and cranky guy, if many accounts are to be believed, the Velvet Underground were both wildly unsuccessful first time around, and yet created some great songs and are considered to be one of the seminal and most important bands to have come out of the sixties. Was this therefore a clever strategic performance, or did they, eventually, stumble onto fame and fortune. Walk on the wild side and Waiting for my Man would hardly be obvious topics towards musical stardom. Coming back to Taylor, the book was informative, interesting, but the business analogies felt a bit clunky at times. Many fans felt that The Tortured Poets Department was a good single, or perhaps double album, lost in a triple. It would have been good to see how the author factored in this mishmash of an album in the slightly breathless prose of her faultless strategic rise to the top? Perhaps the classic result of so many triples, like Sandanista for example, so great songs, mixed in with some slightly to very odd ones too. This book might fall between too stools, not Taylor enough for TS fans, and a bit of a reach for business insights for those coming from a business or marketing background. More about the book here A smart, page-turning exploration of the business and creative decisions that transformed Taylor Swift into an unprecedented modern cultural phenomenon. Singer-songwriter. Trailblazer. Mastermind. The Beatles of her generation. From her genre-busting rise in country music as a teenager to the economic juggernaut that is the Eras Tour, Taylor Swift has blazed a path that is uniquely hers. But how exactly has she managed to scale her success–multiple times–while dominating an industry that cycles through artists and stars like fashion trends? How has she managed to make and remake herself time and again while remaining true to her artistic vision? And how has she managed to master the constant disruption in the music business that has made it so hard for others to adapt and endure? In "There's Nothing Like This," Kevin Evers, a senior editor at "Harvard Business Review," answers these questions in riveting detail. With the same thoughtful analysis usually devoted to iconic founders, game-changing innovators, and pioneering brands, Evers chronicles the business and creative decisions that have defined each phase of Swift's career. Mixing business and art, analysis and narrative, and pulling from research in innovation, creativity, psychology, and strategy, "There's Nothing Like This" presents Swift as the modern and multidimensional superstar that she is–a songwriting savant and a strategic genius. Swift's fans will see their icon from a ...

In this episode we return to the Mudd Club, NYC's ‘intense laboratory' of cinema, performance, dance and music. We hear about how this new kind of club fused these various media in novel ways, both as a day-to-day scene hang out spot and a site of never-ending unusual parties (‘Rock'n'Roll Funeral Ball Extravaganza' anyone?). Tim and Jeremy detail the movement of artists into the East Village in the late 70s, the Fluxus inspiration for the Club's goings on, and throw a little light on another less well-remembered venue, Club 57.Elsewhere in the episode the guys talk about The Cure, Lou Reed, retromania and cable TV, whilst also spending a moment on the legacy of Anita Sarko, a much-loved DJ on the scene.Produced by Matt Huxley.Patreon.com/LoveMessagePod.Loveisthemessagepod.co.uk.Tracklist:Shrapnel - Combat Love Policeband - Mono The Cure - Killing an Arab Lou Reed - Vicious Bobby Freeman - Betty Lou Got a New Pair of Shoes 

这期节目，我想分享一位在华语世界或许略显小众，但绝对值得你用心聆听的伟大音乐人——ANOHNI（曾以 Antony and the Johnsons 的名字为人所知）。她的声音横跨了男女音域，带着一种极具辨识度的颤音。那是一种被世界狠狠拒绝过，却依然试图温柔拥抱世界的频率。她的声音像祈祷，也像伤口。它唱童年里没有位置的孤独，唱跨性别者对身体与灵魂合一的渴望，唱被河流带走的酷儿前辈，也唱正在消失的动物、树木、雪与地球。从一个在教堂和学校里找不到座位的跨性别孩子，到纽约东村地下俱乐部的前卫剧场；从凭借《I Am a Bird Now》拿下水星音乐奖，到用电子乐向气候危机与父权体制发出尖锐抗议。ANOHNI 的音乐轨迹，是一部从私密悲伤走向宏大史诗的生命线。我们常常把人生过成了一场寻找“标准答案”的巨大考试。当你发现自己的存在、你的真实感受与这个世界期待的“正确答案”背道而驰时，那种苦痛该如何度过？或许，你能从 ANOHNI 的故事里找到答案。她一路唱的，其实是人如何在被伤害之后，依然保留爱，最终把自己活成一条通往他人的路。如果你也曾感到自己不属于这里，如果你也曾在人群中感到格格不入，希望这期节目能为你造一间安全的房间，也为你带来直面真实感受的勇气。

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast, we've got an interesting pairing—two guys that hadn't met before, and who come from different parts of the arts world, and who are both pretty damn great at their jobs. It's Bill Callahan and Michael Imperioli. Bill Callahan made music under the name Smog for about 15 years, releasing an incredible catalog of gorgeous, mostly minimal, often wandering songs delivered in his unmistakable baritone. He's one of the most profound lyricists of the past 30 years, crafting careful little worlds that are often funny and heartbreaking at the same time. In 2005, he dropped the Smog moniker and started releasing records under his own name, but there's no obvious break in the continuity. It's a fantastic body of work and you can start almost anywhere: I'd recommend 1999's Knock Knock as an entry point, or maybe 2007's A River Ain't Too Much Too Love, which comes up in this chat. But you could just as easily jump in with Callahan's fantastic new one, My Days of 58, which was finished after a scary cancer battle. In spite of that—or maybe because of it—it's one of Callahan's most relaxed and charming ever. Check out “Why Do Men Sing” right here. Today's other guest is instantly recognizable to fans of The Sopranos as Christopher Moltisanti, the tragic character that surely wouldn't have been nearly as indelible without Michael Imperioli's genius-level portrayal. You've seen him in a million other things, too, from Goodfellas to Summer of Sam—which he also co-wrote—to The White Lotus. What perhaps you didn't know about Imperioli is that he's also a musician. He's the singer/guitarist in a band called ZOPA, which plays catchy, straight-ahead rock that sounds deeply rooted in New York City, which Imperioli still calls home. He also wrote a novel, which comes up in this chat with Callahan, and he's a practicing Buddhist, another topic of conversation. Even though Callahan and Imperioli didn't know each other, they were clearly fans of each other's work. In this chill chat, Michael tells Bill about the exact moment he first heard one of his songs. They also get into Bill's health scare and how it inspired his new record, Michael's kids and what they're up to, and there's a lot of talk about Lou Reed—a guy that inspired them both. Enjoy. 0:00 — Intro 2:35 — Living in Austin & New York 3:34 — On Bill's new record and discovering Smog's past work 5:03 — On birthdays and the Chinese Zodiac 6:34 — On cancer and writing the new album, My Days of 58 8:33 — On Michael's novel, fiction, and inspiration 10:47 — On practicing Buddhism, reincarnation, and monks 16:03 — On raising kids and their musical talents 19:07 — On AI and why human emotion matters in art and work 25:10 — On playing instruments and recording musicians 29:08 — On knowing Lou Reed, and his inspirations 34:35 — On Bill's upcoming tour, and favorite guitars Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast and thanks to Bill Callahan and Michael Imperioli for chatting.

NO ADS - 25 CENTS A DAY ON PATREON!($8 a month) www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on the replay! We open this Monday's show by reflecting on starting Dopey with Chris after meeting at Mountainside rehab and why replaying old episodes helps newer listeners understand Chris and the origins of the show. He then reads a long email from listener “Panda,” who says Dopey inspired him to start Couch to 5K and enter a Prospect Park race. Panda shares a brutally honest story about functioning alcoholism, drinking half bottles of liquor nightly, secret crack binges in Manhattan, and eventually quitting alcohol after deep ayahuasca experiences. He explains that psychedelics and microdosing have helped his recovery, while admitting the topic is controversial. Dave reacts with curiosity, jokes, and confusion over the word “mitigable.” Next comes a voicemail from Lauren describing detox desperation: buying dope inside treatment and discovering the syringe she borrowed had been smuggled in someone's butt. Then Dave launches classic Dopey episode 24 featuring vintage Dave and Chris in full chaotic chemistry. They discuss the documentary The Wolf Pack, mock HBO's Vinyl, and tell reckless stories about reviving overdosing addicts by injecting coke. Chris describes the “bell ringer” rush of shooting cocaine while Dave admits he mostly sniffed it. They read an email from listener Emily, leading to one of Chris's most absurd moments — replying that he'd “rest his anus on the microphone and blow you a kiss.” Dave is horrified. The show turns serious when Chris explains how rehab finally worked: he stopped pretending he knew everything, listened to a counselor, and followed directions. Then they remember Francis, a brilliant young musician they met in rehab who openly said he planned to get high after treatment and later died from overdose. Dave returns in present day with Billy Baroo (Randy Robles), one of the first Dopey superfans, who says he has listened since 2016, is still sober, and believes Dopey is better than ever. He praises Dave's growth as an interviewer and the emotional power of replaying old episodes with Chris.  ALL THAT AND PROBABLY MORE! on a brand new episode of a 10 year old Dopey show!
