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.

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.

There's Nothing Like This: The Strategic Genius of Taylor Swift, reviewed

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 ...

“Também Diane Arbus nos deu, na sua fotografia,/ da loucura não o refúgio (o asilo) mas a corrida/ (atrevida) – ou o passo de dança (Disse, Dança?)./ ‘Pass through the fire to the light', de novo L. Reed.” Isto é uma costela dessas que arrancamos para palitar a boca que gostaríamos de refazer a cada par de meses, dominados por um assombro que nos leve a um tal grau de estranheza que não tenhamos notícias nenhumas de quem costumávamos ser. Lemos a poesia para cair longe, para desaparecermos, sermos desses que se dão como perdidos. E a tal costela, neste caso, arrancada de um poema de Fernando Guerreiro, segue-se a um desses começos tão auspiciosos por estarem lançados no meio da maior confusão, nessa sua alteração interminável do estilo, uma alegria de ter por objecto o acidente, de viver variado, ir sabendo de si como de algo extraviado, assim, um ser disponível ao trespasse, fantasma de outros, fora dos eixos da sua biografia, abrindo-se a uma temporalidade mais vasta, inquietante… E o tal poema, esse belo estafermo, arranca assim: “Nada de obras completas – apenas champanhe, na primavera e um romance./ Por vezes esquecemo-nos de como morrer é simples –/ de sopro, no coração ou mesmo de cancro./ Num poema de Lou Reed todas as arritmias do espírito/ seriam resolvidas no aneurisma fluido do ritmo.” E aqui vemos Kafka passar ao fundo, aditando uma brevíssima explicação dos seus modos tão esquivos: “Evito as pessoas não porque quero viver sossegadamente, mas sim porque quero morrer sossegadamente.” É um abandono próprio de quem nunca, na verdade, teve qualquer margem de recuo na existência, e entendeu que pelo menos tinha direito a uma morte que não desse espectáculo, que não viesse a servir de gala a larvas e moscas. Afinal, o abandono é a morada que resta àqueles que nunca conheceram neste mundo uma condição propriamente doméstica. Cícero recordava aqui há um bocado um belo dito de Anaxágoras… “este filósofo agonizava em Lâmpsaco e os seus amigos perguntaram-lhe se ele queria, caso acontecesse uma desgraça, que o transportassem para Clazómenas, a sua pátria: ‘É absolutamente inútil', disse Anaxágoras, ‘de onde quer que se parta para os Infernos, o caminho é o mesmo.' Mas voltemos à fotografia de Diane Arbus e ao poema de Guerreiro: “talvez seja isso a loucura/ um Haloween dos subúrbios – uma ronda dos espíritos/ em que cada um entra, antes de regressar ao seu túmulo,/ para ensaiar (invertido no seu negativo) uma contra-dança./ Todos juntos, a máscara é ao mesmo tempo o que une e distingue – a bata: o impulso da forma, por onde a carne s'adelgaça – e o corpo, avança.” De algum modo esta é uma sensação comum, a de que este tempo como está só nos oferece um adeus intencionalmente arrastado em duração, a urgência de fazer um tempo contra o mundo, cada um arrastando as correntes para se manter acordado, deixando um rasto húmido e negro, como lesma ulcerosa e maldita. E assim acaba o mundo, não como uma coisa realmente tenebrosa, mas como algo que se faz esperar, ao ponto de alguns se queixarem de até nessa última hora estarmos sujeitos aos atrasos, a ficar na fila que não avança. “Mas esta porra não anda?”, resmunga alguém. Llansol diz que teve conhecimento não sabe onde de rituais primitivos de enterro em que se esvaziava a cavidade ventral de todas as vísceras do morto e aí se depositavam bilhetes com votos escritos… Talvez um ritual desses pudesse devolver algum impulso ao que se escreve, e, por mais que frágeis, nesse bafio doce daquilo que se usa para rechear o morto, talvez isso despertasse uma outra urgência dos vivos para com a vida. Seria um esforço a favor de uma persistência menos ordinária, e isto num momento em que aquilo a que por estes dias se usa tomar como uma atitude culta não é mais que uma disposição para sacralizar disparates, para se entregar a esses tributos que a estupidez presta ao orgulho. Os autores morrem cheios de tesão. Alguém os convenceu de que algo subsistirá dos seus espíritos, e andam por aí convencidos de que essa vergonha de serem inteiramente devassados pela fome da terra, não só pelos nossos corpos, mas por todos os sinais da nossa existência, a eles não poderá roer tudo, uma vez que lhe vão impondo um certo limite. Leram em Steiner que leu em Baruck de Mezbizh… “Quando uma palavra é pronunciada em nome do seu autor, os lábios deste movem-se dentro do túmulo. E os lábios de quem profere a palavra movem-se do mesmo modo que os do Mestre já morto.” É fácil detectar essa gravidade dos que falam com a confiança de que alguém fará deles mestres num porvir de dar à corda, mas a subtileza dos espíritos, toda essa delicadeza dos que desejam repetir-se pela eternidade fora, é precisamente aquilo que mais nos cansa, quando começamos a suspeitar que o verdadeiro génio é a coisa menos talentosa que há. Não está dotado de um dom, mas da sua ausência, de uma maldição, de um sentido dilacerante do tempo, de uma ânsia de explorar a cada momento essas zonas que mais resistem, de mergulhar no interdito, aquilo “que não se deixa dizer e que, justamente nessa medida, é preciso, de cada vez, tentar dizer” (Diogo Nóbrega). O que tem faltado já nem é tanto uma razão, mas a veemência de quem constrói o seu desacordo deixando-se queimar para ver as coisas a uma outra luz, esses seres que se entregam à profundidade vazia, e alcançam o que lhes é exterior, o fora, o Outro, uma força de dar vida a personagens precisamente porque não se insistiu mais em si, no mesmo. William Hazlitt não tem dúvidas de que Shakespeare era um espírito sem educação, tanto na frescura da sua argumentação como na variedade das perspectivas. “Shakespeare não fora acostumado a escrever redacções na escola a favor da virtude ou contra o vício. A isto devemos o tom desinteressado, mas salutar, da sua moralidade dramática.” Neste episódio, alguém que costuma ouvir assiduamente o podcast, quis apontar a alguns aspectos que lhe foram ficando deste esforço excessivo para erguer por cá um mau caminho. Com um balanço tremendo em leituras recomplicadas, densas, e uma estupenda capacidade para aceitar os convites e ciladas que trama aquela potência do falso, Diogo Nóbrega veio também partilhar um percurso memorioso de vorazes leituras, e uma compreensão arguta de alguns dos nós em que vimos esbarrando e que se mostram tão difíceis de desatar.

Kondo wa kondo, ima wa ima.Hirayama wakes at dawn to the sound of a broom sweeping the streets outside his modest flat east of the Sumida River. He makes his bed, marks the page on his book, and goes downstairs to brush his teeth, water his plants, and grab his keys and some spare change before going outside to look at the sky, breathe in, and smile. He grabs a coffee from a nearby vending machine, climbs into his van, and gets his music cassette ready. After a quick swig from his can humorously labelled 'BOSS', Hirayama drives off to begin his day as a cleaner of public toilets in Shibuya.Wim Wenders' modern masterpiece, Perfect Days, is a complex meditation on work, routine, and meaning. It touches on a vast array of topics such as capitalism and class, existentialism and relationships, and estrangement and grief. Rarely do films feel so well-rounded in their nuanced exploration of context, politics, and aesthetics, while also being piercingly poignant in what they have to say about transcending the limits of the body and spirit.Perfect Days is undoubtedly one of the great films of the twenty-first century; we could not help but watch it time and again to see and feel everything it has to offer. It is also one that is and will be important in the years to come, owing in no small measure to its thoughtful tone and sublime message, relevant more than ever in a world of growing alienation and individualism.This latest episode is in two parts: this one on Perfect Days, and the other (right before), on a surprisingly similar film by Akira Kurosawa: Ikiru. We had a fantastic time thinking through both stories' impact, and hope you gain as much from our discussion as we did from the films!

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!

Era el inicio del verano del año 1980, era Usera, el extrarradio de Madrid entonces, era un viernes por la noche, era la tercera vez que Lou Reed visitaba España. Cinco años antes la censura no le dejó cantar "Heroin" y los grises se liaron a porrazos en su concierto en Barcelona. Lo que pasó en el estadio Román Valero, el del Club de Fútbol Moscardó, superó todo lo anterior. El concierto comenzó con un gran retraso y en solo 7 canciones terminó porque el público, desatado y enfadado por la espera lanzó insultos y objetos al cantante. Cuenta la leyenda que el público enfadado se llevó sus instrumentos, que las bandas de aquel entonces les sacaron más partido que Lou Reed y su banda

Despite the allusion in the title, today's song has no spiritual content or religious references. It's just a description of life on the road with a hard rock band that's paying its dues. And, as the band members would tell you, they were–and are–a rock band, not a punk band, thank you very much. AC/DC was formed in 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young in their hometown of Sydney, Australia. The band name came from an electrical adapter on a sewing machine owned by their sister and not, dear reader, from the street slang that hints at one's sexual orientation. Within two months, the brothers Young were in the studio at their first recording sessions, and five months after that's they were touring Australia supporting and opening for Lou Reed. Their first lead singer, Bon Scott, joined the band in time to record their first studio album, High Voltage, in November 1974. That record was released in a limited market at first, but it did give the band its first Top 20 hit (“Baby, Please Don’t Go”) and their first radio play in the United States. The follow-up, T.N.T., led to an international deal with Atlantic Records in 1976. The next five years were undoubtedly the golden years for the band. Their third offering, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, was released in late 1976, and the band toured extensively around Australia, Europe and the Americas for the better part of the next three years. Put yourself in their shoes — 4 albums in as many years, with each album requiring at least 128 concerts a year — and you'd start to think of the road as being hellish. And that's the origin of the song we dive into in this episode.

Wim Wenders's intriguing and often baffling sequel to WINGS OF DESIRE reunites several actors from the original but places them in a shifting narrative that can be difficult to follow. At times FARAWAY, SO CLOSE! even transforms into a straight mafia crime thriller, a tonal detour that feels sudden and disorienting. In many ways it is clearly a sequel, tying off threads from the first film and expanding its angel mythology in ways that feel almost like fan service. We revisit Damiel, the former angel now living as a human with his trapeze artist wife Marion, happily running a pizza place called Angel's House. The film even repeats the musical cameo idea from the original. Where Nick Cave performed live in WINGS OF DESIRE, here we get a performance from Lou Reed. But other additions feel like they belong to a completely different cosmology. Willem Dafoe plays Emit Flesti, whose name reversed reveals his nature as "Time Itself." The character functions almost like a demon, tormenting angels who have fallen to the human world. These ideas add intriguing layers to Wenders's angel lore, but they also make the mythology far more complicated than the elegant framework established in WINGS OF DESIRE. That earlier film's bold choices, like casting Peter Falk as himself but secretly a former angel, ultimately reinforced its central themes. FARAWAY, SO CLOSE! often feels both too close and too far from its source. The film's ending highlights the tension. Cassiel is killed during an elaborate plot involving a hijacked barge, only for the tragedy to turn into relief when he is restored to angelhood. It raises an odd implication. If fallen angels can simply become angels again after death, the sacrifice at the heart of WINGS OF DESIRE begins to lose its weight. Still, this is not to say we did not enjoy watching FARAWAY, SO CLOSE! It is a fascinating and often strange expansion from one of cinema's most distinctive filmmakers, even if its ambitious ideas occasionally threaten the elegant foundation of the original.

You know Gina from unforgettable roles in Bound, Showgirls, Face/Off, Cocktail, and a career that has zig-zagged fearlessly between Hollywood glamor, indie grit, Broadway, and music. We talked about her work and life as recounted in her new memoir, 'Alpha Pussy: How I Survived the Valley and Learned to Love My Boobs' (a title that caught the attention of my 16 year-old son and, well, me). Gina shares stories about Prince, David Mamet, Paul Thomas Anderson, Robert Altman, Michael Mann, and Lou Reed. And she spills the beans about kissing both Tom Cruise and Jennifer Tilly (I'd go with Jen, personally). Oh, she also tells why it was so much fun to improv with Larry David on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'. Need I say more? Okay, yes - just a little: What I took away from this interview is that artists like Gina who prioritize freedom above commerce sometimes miss out on millions of dollars and a degree of “stardom,” but they maintain their sense of self and Alpha vibe.

Interview with  Steve Wynn of the Dream Syndicate. Steve Wynn is a singer, musician and songwriter. He led the band the Dream Syndicate from 1981 to 1989 in Los Angeles, afterward began a solo career, and then reformed the Dream Syndicate in 2001     Steve's info : (links to Medicine Show release ) https://www.stevewynn.net/dream_syndicate_medicine_show.php.   Steve's Bio: Steve Wynn was born in Santa Monica, California in 1960 and got his first guitar (a nylon-string acoustic) when he was nine, shortly after which he wrote his first song "Sing My Blues". He formed his first band "The Light Bulbs" that same year and the band made the circuit of parties and school functions; the band's oldest member was ten years old. By the time he was 13, Wynn had played in bands with such colorful names as Purple Passion and Sudden Death Overtime, alternating between his own early originals and songs by Neil Young, The Rolling Stones and The Who. In the years that followed, Wynn found himself sidetracked by a strong desire to become a sportswriter. Abandoning his electric guitar for a notepad, pen and typewriter Wynn found himself on the other side of the interview, speaking to football, basketball and baseball players and dreaming of one day seeing his name on the masthead of Sports Illustrated. During his high school years, Wynn entertained notions of becoming a sportswriter but the excitement and immediacy of the punk rock explosion of 1977 brought him back into the world of songwriting and performing. He found himself writing and playing guitar for UC Davis (near Sacramento) New Wave pioneers "Suspects", a band for whom Wynn wrote over 100 songs, none of which he has performed since. A move back to Los Angeles with Suspects lead singer Kendra Smith was the first step towards the formation of The Dream Syndicate, the band with whom Wynn would gain national and eventually international acclaim. The Dream Syndicate played together for the first time in December 1981 and within three weeks had recorded its self-titled first EP. The record was released in April 1982 and followed six months later by the band's debut album "The Days of Wine and Roses", an album which fans and critics alike still consider one of the best and most important rock albums of all time. Those early years are represented here by "When You Smile" and "That's What You Always Say," songs which have been covered, respectively, by Concrete Blonde and Luna. The band was almost immediately signed by A&M Records for whom it recorded the landmark "Medicine Show" (the title song opens this compilation), a record that was recently named one of the 40 best rock albums of all time by the London Guardian and whose songs have been covered by REM and The Black Crowes among many others. Several years of worldwide touring (including several trips to Europe and Japan and Australia) followed before the band broke up at the end of 1988. Wynn has said "As proud as I was of The Dream Syndicate, our music and our accomplishments I felt we had reached our peak and everything that followed would have been a disappointment. I wanted to be a band that broke up while we were still doing our best work." In 1990 Wynn came back with his first solo offering "Kerosene Man," an album of incredible diversity that showed Wynn's enormous growth as a songwriter and record-maker. The songs "Carolyn" and "Tears Won't Help" were among the most-played songs that year on Modern Rock radio stations and his video for "Carolyn" was in regular rotation on MTV for six weeks. The follow-up "Dazzling Display" was Wynn's most elaborate production to date, a dizzying synthesis of the best rock music of the previous 30 years featuring the talents of, among others, REM's Peter Buck, Concrete Blonde's Johnette Napolitano and members of The Bangles, The Turtles and the touring bands of Lou Reed and Tracy Chapman. A four-day writing vacation in Richmond, Virginia with the House of Freaks' Bryan Harvey turned into the side-project supergroup Gutterball who released two albums, garnered overwhelming press response and built a frenetic cult following; the Black Crowes took the band out as its opening act even before the first Gutterball record was released. Not one to stand still, Wynn followed the success of Gutterball with the more introspective "Fluorescent", an album whose single "Carelessly" picked up heavy radio play throughout the US and Europe. In 1994, Wynn moved to New York City. He harnessed the excitement and energy of his new home in his record "Melting in the Dark". The two albums that followed,"Sweetness and Light" and "My Midnight", found Wynn settling into the sound that would define the next phase of his solo career. In 2001, Steve went to Tucson and recorded the double album "Here Come the Miracles" which was released to overwhelming critical acclaim. The album was seen as a stunning comeback and appeared on many year-end critics' surveys along with winning Best Alternative Rock Album by the American Federation of Independent Music. The album was followed by "Static Transmission" and "...tick...tick...tick", both also recorded in Tucson with his new backing unit "The Miracle 3" and which were viewed as part of a "Desert Trilogy" that is seen by many as the best work of his career. But Wynn has never been one to settle into an easy or predictable groove. Since the last of the desert trilogy he has recorded "Cast Iron Soul", a new Danny & Dusty album with Green On Red's Dan Stuart, joined forces with his wife and drummer Linda Pitmon and legendary Spanish producer Paco Loco to concoct the twisted pop side project "Smack Dab", and collaborated with the Walkabouts' Chris Eckman in Slovenia on the lush and lavish "Crossing Dragon Bridge", a record that made up a tandem of new releases in 2008 with "The Baseball Project", a baseball song cycle collaboration with Pitmon and also Scott McCaughey and Peter Buck of REM and the Minus 5. In the midst of such a prolific recording career, Wynn has still found time to average over 100 shows a year all over the world. He has found himself as welcome in Rome, Oslo, Athens, Brussels, London and Madrid as he has in Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, Chicago and Boston. And for the devoted fans he has made in these and many other cities, his extensive discography of music reflects the consensus among fans: that Steve Wynn is one of the most adventurous, accomplished and exciting songwriters of the last few decades. If all of this is still news to you, just put on this cd and get ready to join the legions of people who have enjoyed Wynn's dazzling display of songs over the last 25 years.
