The Icelandic keyboardist and composer Eydís Evensen has released three albums of music that blends classical lyricism with the repeating patterns of post-minimalist music. "Her compositions, guided by emotion, are intimate explorations of mourning, hope, reflection, and renewal—creating a world that invites listeners to feel their way through the music" (Lincoln Center event program). On her latest LP, Oceanic Mirror, one might hear reflections of Iceland's landscapes – glacial stillness, volcanic tension, the power and motion. Eydís Evensen plays new songs from the album, in-studio. She plays in New York at Lincoln Center's David Rubenstein Atrium on Jan. 9, 2026.Set list: 1. OM, Helena's Sunrise 2. Drifter 3. Winter's Void, Somnolent
This playlist is 65% vinyl friendly. Very poor. Scorchio! ‘1960/1970 Vintage Stereo Design Record Player, in bright orange, the emblematic colour of the 1960 and an example of Mod Ultra Space Age Pop Art Raymond Loewy? France French Designer Museum-worthy‘ says the Etsy seller, adding ‘It has a few cracks, one of the speakers has a small tear in the cloth and may need an overhaul, a full check up to see how and if it works and if it is complete… WE HAVE NEVER TRIED TO USE IT AND I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WORKS OR PLAYS.‘ Thank flip it’s down to €4600, from €7100. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms tweak/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a bit dodgy, quality-wise. On top of that, the switch between different decades and production values never helps in the mix here. And a bit of a croak in my voice here and there. A temporary glitch, hopefully. Lyric of Playlist 146 Trickery involved but it has to be The Bots! 00.00 (Intro) THE FLAMINGOS – Stars (Edit) – Unreleased demo – 1983. Episode #1 for info. 00.41 NEW ORDER – Ruined In A Day (Reading Festival, 1993) – In Concert – 577, CD – BBC Transcription – 1993 I and my four-year-old, Alice were there, on what was a triumphant return, with the wonderful ‘Ruined’ in amongst new numbers from the band’s then recently released Republic album nobody would have previously heard in a live setting. BBC Transcription Services recordings – produced to service radio stations and usually for a very limited time frame for broadcast – had moved from vinyl to CD but with runs still only in their low hundreds New Order completists would be struggling to own a copy of this one… and I don’t. 04.42 MERIC LONG – A Small Act Of Defiance – Kablooey, LP – Polyvinyl Record Company – 2025 Book-ending a bunch of releases through the years as a member of The Dodos, Kablooey is seemingly Long’s first solo release under his own name since 2006. 07.43 BIOCHEMICAL DREAD – False Kings Of The Earth – 12″ – Pulsolid – 2004 Besides his work with Cabaret Voltaire this 12″ demonstrates there are gaps in my knowledge of Richard H. Kirk’s lengthy discography elsewhere. A copy of ‘False Kings… ‘ however is currently heading my way. RIP, Richard. 13.21 DARKSIDE – One Last Nothing – Download only – Matador – 2025 Including a past member of the 41 Rooms playlist parish, Nicolas Jaar, a US trio currently NOT releasing a 12″, though their Bandcamp visual hints otherwise. 18.32 AGENTS WITH FALSE MEMORIES – Agents With False Memories (extract), CD only – Ash International / Soleilmoon Recordings – 1996 Extract, indeed as Richard H. Kirk promptly returns to show 146 with this four minute snippet from a 53 minute track. 22.34 HUMANIZER – Shinobi – ? – ? – 2000s? Ignoring the slight Liam Gallagher drawl and with zero connection to any Death Metal band of the same name, this might have been Manchester sourced… and maybe with a Peter Hook connection. That’s what I’m vaguely remembering… from over a decade ago. Dunno… A ‘demo’ version, minus vocals, might also get an outing here at some point. 27.08 DIFFERENT GEAR – A Little Bit Paranoid (Extended Mix) * – 12″ – City Rockers – 2002 Courtesy of a ‘Phil Dirtbox’, the vocal is the winner here. 32.59 MERZ – Sorrow In The Sky (Nightingale Vs The Crow) – 7″ b-side – Lotus Records – 2002 The stuff that people sing about… and here with gusto and passion, to boot! 36.55 LUSCIOUS JACKSON – Why Do I Lie? (Sessions at 54th, 11.97) – Stream only – 1997 Vocalist, Jill Cunniff’s tale of lying sounding best live! 40.13 THE POPPY FAMILY – I Was Wondering – 7″ – London – 1971 A bit of a strange arrangement, this one. Albeit with a key change in there – verses with no choruses! Weird and wonderful… and maybe a bit brave in the pop world of the early ’70s, where the only PF track I remember hearing as a young teen was Which Way Are You Going Billy? That won’t be getting a 41 Rooms spin. 42.43 SOPHIE JAMIESON – Camera – I Still Want To Share, LP – Bella Union – 2025 Being over in Brighton recently it seemed appropriate I buy her clear vinyl album from the Bella Union shop and re Camera? It’s the subtle build in Sophie’s vocal and she’ll be here again at some point. 46.59 MARTYN BATES – The Rhyme Of Miracles – Arriving Fire, CD only – Ambivalent Scale – 2014 Martyn instils presence in a tune like few others for me. 50.28 JOSE FELICIANO – First Of May – 7″ b-side – RCA – 1969 ‘Feliciano seems to be on a heavy Bee Gees kick… after ‘Marley Purt Drive,’ he now does ‘First Of May’ and ‘Gotta Get A Message To You.’ And with his highly stylised projection, Jose manages to make them sound totally removed from anything the Gibb brothers originated’. – Disc (edited review of the album, 10 to 23), 15.11.69. As far as I know the Bee Gees tune was only ever released on a 7″ (my ‘format of choice’) for Jose in Mexico, New Zealand, Philippines and Spain and never as an A-side and arranger, Al Capps most probably winced if he ever got to see the NZ pressing below. Strangely, Jose’s very rarely performed the song live. I’ve only noted it three times, including two at London’s Jazz Cafe, in 1996 and again in 1998 and at the former it surfaced nearly under duress. With the audience (maybe unsurprisingly) constantly shouting out for past JF favourites Jose countered, ‘You know there’s a lot of songs you people ask me for that unfortunately… and I’m not being rude, a lot of artists are rude, they do it on purpose, but some of the songs that you ask me to sing, do you know that I haven’t sung them in years and I’ve forgotten the words and rather than make an ass out of myself that’s why I don’t sing them, OK? So, don’t take it personal… I don’t sing those songs anymore. But I’ll tell you what though there’s some that you ask for that I do remember, like this one. I hope that this one will satisfy you.’ That rare sighting was even more surprising considering Jose had taken the rare move of including his own recording of the song when guesting on Brian Matthew’s My Top Twelve for BBC Radio 1 back in June 1974. 54.11 JAPAN – Alien – Quiet Life, LP – Ariola Hansa – 1980 Bedford: Heronscroft, Putnoe, 1980 and Winkles, 1981… with a few Japan gigs thrown in at the time. 58.47 JOHN CALE – Chinese Envoy (M:FANS) – M: FANS, 2 LP – Double Six – 2016 ‘Approached as a reinterpretation of Cale's 1982 improvisational album, Music for a New Society… M:FANS is something of a funhouse mirror reflection of that work, using the basic song-structures of the original album as a starting point and using time, experience and the technological advances of the ensuing years to bring a new focus to the tunes. Some selections are comfortably familiar, while others have a significantly different footprint‘. – KCRW 01.02.32 ICEHOUSE – No Promises (Dance Mix) * – 12″ – Chrysalis – 1990 Fully five years after the track had seemingly done its thing it got an extended outing in Spain. 01.07.58 DAVID BOWIE – This Is Not America (BBC concert) – Bowie At The Beeb, 2CD – EMI – 2000 Part of Bowie’s special set for a small invited audience at the BBC’s Radio Theatre, in London, June 2000. 01.11.29 JOHNNY KEATING – Theme from Z-Cars (Johnny Todd) – 7″ – Piccadilly – 1962 Did I realise the grittier scripts involved here than had been delivered by Jack Warner’s strolling forerunner, Dixon Of Dock Green? Nah, I was five when Z-Cars kicked off but the theme (based on the traditional folk song, Johnny Todd) still brings a fuzzy feel. And Wikipedia will give you the full story on why Everton FC players come out to the tune at home games. 01.13.22 MARC COHN – ‘Walking in Memphis (Mahna Mahna)’ – Stream only – 1990’s? Cohn definitely wouldn’t have seen this coming, as the self proclaiming Mahna Mahna and the Snowths duo upstage him in a short but cheeky mashup (of sorts) I happened on via Youtube a couple of decades ago. I’ll openly admit I was a Muppets fan when they first aired on UK TV back in the mid ’70s and with Statler & Waldorf the stars for me I remember walking my girlfriend of the time, Jill home from work and then running up the hill to my house to record the show. Pre the age of video recorders, at one point there was a stack of ten to twenty AGFA(!!) cassette tapes of the shows in my bedroom. Getting back to Cohn, the fact he’s ‘racing’ a bit here actually adds to the cheeriness and I salute whoever was involved. 01.14.44 BERNARD CRIBBINS – The Hole In The Ground – 7″ – Parlophone – 1962 And like the Z-Cars theme I was five when this was released and I’d have definitely been singing this one in the years close after – and weirdly, although it’s the second tune from ’62 on this show, it’s not the last. 01.16.27 THE BOTS – Fuzzy Math – George W. Bush Greatest Hits, v/artists, CDr only – Spin The World – 2004 I heard this cut and paste work of art somewhere around its ‘release’ and as of 2004… ‘… utilizing the revolutionary Presidential Truth Filter(PTF). The PTF operates like this: All presidential statements are recorded, and made into a huge database. The database is searchable by speech, phrase, keyword, emotional intensity, etc. In parallel, an analysis is made of the historical circumstances of the particular presidency. The question must be asked, what is this man (all men so far…) really all about? What is a defining characteristic of this presidency? The final question which must be addressed by the PTF is, how can we use the assets in the database to concatenate the truth, and make the President speak it? The first attempt was Bushwack, in 1992. This turned into a huge hit before the Presidential election in 1992, though BMI denied that it was ever on the air at all. Through October of that year, stations such as San Francisco’s Live105 were playing it almost hourly. In 1997 Rock The House was a popular download at an early digital music download startup, muzic.com. In 2003 Bushwack2 was released at about the start of the Iraq war. The mood of the song is quite grim, as the truth of those times was interpreted by the PTF. In 2004, the PTF was reprogrammed to emphasize economics and general silliness, and Fuzzy Math was born. We think it’s the best one yet. Judge the results for yourself’. – thebots.net 01.19.26 DREXCIYA – Black Sea – The Journey Home, 12″ EP – Warp – 1995 First heard on either of Colin Faver’s or Colin Dale’s techno shows on KISS FM. Sounds more likely it was the former. 01.24.58 E-DANCER – Heavenly * – 12″ – KMS – 1997 The Inner City (‘Big Fun’) man, Kevin Saunderson with his techno head on. 01.28.51 CHARLES WEBSTER – Your Life * – 12″ – Peacefrog – 2000 Pitched up a bit (‘+3%’ says my file iD) this is a class slice of soulful techno/house. 01.33.11 CHARLOTTE DAY WILSON – Selfish – Download only – Stone Woman Music – 2025 This r&b musician has been around for a decade or so but I wouldn’t have guessed, judging by this slight departure to a ’90s UK garage feel (first half anyway). It suits her. 01.36.48 BENCH – Felice – Bliss, 2LP – Cylinder Recordings – 2000 The fifth appearance on 41 Rooms to date for this pretty much forgotten duo. 01.39.36 BLUE STATES – Your Girl – 12″ EP – Memphis Industries – 1999 First heard on a compilation CD a mate of mine, Sid put together, of fave tracks forwarded by mates of his. Not their own tracks, you understand. 01.43.45 THE MIRACLES – I’ll Try Something New – 7″ – Tamla – 1962 Hellfire! Those breakdown strings mid way are a bit of a jolt! Easy, Smokey! Writer, Robinson’s own version is actually the third to make it to 41 Rooms and his vocal arrangement sounds more like a remake than either Kiki Dee’s ‘straighter’ take or even the Supremes and Temptations stab at the song, when chronologically they both followed this Miracles single. 01.46.14 SMITH & MUDD – Blue River – 2LP – Claremont 56 – 2007 Electronic… downtempo… shuffling… drifting… or maybe flowing. 01.48.38 MERZ – A.M. (Good Morning) * – Single-sided, white label 12″ only – 1995 The second artist to return this show, multi instrumentalist and songwriter, Conrad Merz and his at times very idiosyncratic vocal (‘Many Weathers Apart’, for instance) seem to have trodden their own path through the years. 01.53.45 CRAIG ARMSTRONG (feat ELIZABETH FRASER) – This Love (& The Life That I Have) * – 41 Rooms Soft Mash Up only – Early 2000s I grabbed the extra voice – Virginia McKenna as Second World War spy Violette Szabo, reading the code poem The Life That I Have at the end of the film Carve Her Name With Pride – fully thirty plus years ago and I had a stab at floating it over This Love a long time ago but recently had another go. Aided by Jazz The Glass, we pitched her down slightly and then I took out a chunk of the poem in the second half. Not that it’s going to happen but I reckon it would need the song itself re-arranged/edited to work perfectly but methinks the idea is still a cool one. Show 147 hopefully surfaces Jan 4.

Corrían los dos juntos, pero el otro discípulo corrió más aprisa que Pedro y llegó primero al sepulcro. Y, asomándose, vio los lienzos puestos allí, pero no entró. Luego llegó Simón Pedro tras él, entró en el sepulcro y vio los lienzos puestos allí, y el sudario, que había estado sobre la cabeza de Jesús, no puesto con los lienzos, sino enrollado en un lugar aparte. Entonces entró también el otro discípulo que había venido primero al sepulcro; y vio, y creyó, pues aún no habían entendido la Escritura: que era necesario que él resucitara de los muertos» (Juan 20: 3-9).Todos conocemos este emotivo pasaje de los Evangelios, en el que dos discípulos todos hayamos observado un pequeño detalle, sin aparente importancia, pero que el testigo del evento, el apóstol Juan, subraya en estos términos: «Y el sudario, que había estado sobre la cabeza de Jesús, no puesto con los lienzos, sino enrollado en un lugar aparte» (Juan 20: 7). ¿Qué importancia tiene ese detalle?La tiene si, como muy bien traducen algunas versiones, el sudario de Jesús no estaba con los lienzos de su mortaja, sino aparte, cuidadosamente «doblado» (RVA2015), o bien doblado» (LP).Porque el sudario (del griego soudarion) era un gran paño blanco que entonces se usaba, entre otras cosas, y principalmente, como pañuelo, para enjugar el sudor del rostro, para proteger la cabeza del sol, o como servilleta para limpiarse la boca y las manos en las comidas.El detalle del sudario doblado tenía un mensaje que el joven Juan comprendió perfectamente nada más verlo. Porque tenía que ver con las reglas de la sociedad de su tiempo. Cuando el paterfamilias señor o dueño terminaba de comer o terminaba su aseo, al dejar la estancia o levantarse de la mesa, se limpiaba el rostro y las manos con el sudario y lo dejaba tirado en la mesa o en el suelo. Eso significaba «Ya he terminado». Y que el siervo podía disponer.Pero si el paterfamilias se levantaba de la mesa o de donde estuviera y dejaba el sudario plegado, el siervo sabía que ese gesto significaba: «Espérame. No te alejes, sigue a mi servicio, porque voy a volver».Por eso a Juan le bastó ver el sudario plegado para comprender el mensaje del Maestro: «Vendré otra vez» (Juan 14: 3).

Jonathan Greene delivers a solo milestone Episode 300, reflecting on what real estate investors really need to succeed in 2026. Drawing on 300 episodes' worth of conversations and ten key questions generated by ChatGPT, he walks through interest rates, debt and recapitalization risk, local supply and demand, asset selection, and how to think about the next phase of the market rather than trying to predict it. He shares how he's approaching the year ahead himself—doubling down on being an "asset hunter," investing as an LP in multifamily syndications, eyeing self-storage and Main Street mixed-use, and planning to add a short-term rental in upstate New York. Along the way, Jonathan talks about meetups, possible future retreats, and long-term plans to bring real estate education to younger generations, all while emphasizing the importance of daily research in your buy box over obsessing about national headlines. Listeners will hear why mindset and mental health come before any big investment move, how to vet operators in syndications, and why diversification by geography, asset type, and vehicle can help you weather whatever 2026 brings. Jonathan closes with reflections on legacy, his parents' influence, and what it means to build a real estate portfolio that actually supports a meaningful life. In this episode, you will hear: Why Jonathan treats interest rates as just one part of the deal calculation—and why waiting for "3% again" is a losing strategy. How to focus on your local buy box, study hot sheets, and spot the path of progress instead of obsessing over national housing headlines. The asset classes and strategies he's most interested in for 2026, from multifamily syndications and short-term rentals to self-storage and Main Street mixed-use. Why your mental health, personal life stability, and partner alignment are non-negotiables before making major investment decisions. How he uses tools like ChatGPT and data to research regulations, stress-test opportunities, and build more resilient, diversified portfolios without outsourcing his judgment.

When life feels overwhelming, the natural reaction for most people is to retreat, drift into some form of depression, and assume the pain or challenge they're experiencing is permanent. But what if the hardest season of your life could become the catalyst for your greatest transformation? Today's episode is all about accessing inner strength, gratitude, and possibility when life tries to knock you down. I'm joined by my good friend Matt Drinkhahn, author of The Eternal Optimist: It's Never Too Late and host of The Eternal Optimist Podcast. Matt is an executive coach to high-performing entrepreneurs, a devoted husband and father, and one of the most genuinely positive human beings I've ever met. But what makes his wisdom so powerful isn't that life has been easy for him—it's that he became an eternal optimist when life literally knocked him down so bad, he could barely walk for 9 months. In our conversation, Matt opens up about the most challenging period in his life when a devastating zipline accident left him in a wheelchair, virtually unable to stand up, handle chores, or provide for his family. He shares how he battled excruciating pain, which tested his marriage in addition to fears of losing his career, and the possibility he may never walk again—and the three principles he used to rebuild his life from the ground up.

I am thrilled to reconnect with Nick Norwitz today. Nick is a researcher and educator with a mission to make metabolic health a mainstream concern. He graduated valedictorian from Dartmouth College, completed his PhD in metabolism at the University of Oxford, and earned his MD at Harvard Medical School. He has become known as a clinical researcher and metabolic health educator, speaking and writing on various topics, including brain health, microbiome, mitochondrial function, cholesterol, and more. In our conversation, we discuss the challenges of providing evidence-based medicine, and Nick shares his personal story of overcoming inflammatory bowel disease with a ketogenic diet. We explore the research on statins reducing endogenous GLP-1 production, highlighting the importance of staying curious. We also clarify the different types of type 2 diabetes, the effects of biomolecular aging, and different perspectives on Lp(a). Nick always provides thoughtful and valuable insights on a range of topics. His Substack is one of my favorites, sharing several ways to enhance your learning process, as a clinician or a layperson. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How his struggle with inflammatory bowel disease led Nick to realize that the evidence-based care of western medicine is not always the best type of care, and how a ketogenic diet saved his life How a recent study highlighted several major physical issues statins cause, yet it went largely unnoticed in medicine and the media The need for clinicians to inform their patients about the potential side effects of their medications How physicians tend to ignore evidence in favor of one-sided messaging that erodes trust and undermines informed care The importance of remaining curious and acknowledging that what you learned initially might be incorrect How technological advances will make personalized medicine the future of healthcare The limitations of traditional one-size-fits-all randomized controlled trials The sub-phenotypes of type 2 diabetes How enzyme inhibitors (like statins) disrupt the gut microbiome How metabolic health and oxidative stress affect Lp(a), and how vitamin C can potentially reduce its impact Bio: Nick Norwitz Nick Norwitz, MD, PhD, is a researcher-educator whose mission is to “Make Metabolic Health Mainstream.” He graduated Valedictorian from Dartmouth College, majoring in Cell Biology and Biochemistry, before completing his PhD in Metabolism at the University of Oxford and his MD at Harvard Medical School.

Your VCs have hidden value beyond capital. Most founders never ask for it.D'Arcy Martin has been Head of Platform at Outward VC for six years. She's watched hundreds of funding rounds close. And there's one pattern she sees: founders who treat VCs like a bank account versus founders who extract every ounce of value.The difference? They ask.In today's episode, I'm joined by D'Arcy Martin, who sits at the intersection of founders, LPs, and portfolio companies at Outward VC.

If we had a nickel for every time we'd been dared to move we would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Back in the mid-nineties, a group emerged from St. Louis, later moving to Chicago, where they'd go on to make some of the most beguiling and unique music of the time. They were 90 Day Men. Over four albums and a few EPs, the band's sound developed into elaborate, experimental, baroque songs, influenced by the world around them and delving back into prog, sixties art rock, and beyond. Later this month Numero Group will release a new deluxe 25th anniversary edition of 90 Day Men's '(It Is It) Critical Band' LP, including a previously-unreleased album tracked at Steve Albini's Electrical Audio studio in Chicago. In this final episode, host Tim Kinsella speaks to the band about their final albums, trips to Japan, the burnout of relentless shows and being a little too ahead of the musical curve.

linktr.ee/AL99SpotifyInstagramTiktokLinkedinBioRapper AL99 Is Leveling Up with New Melodic Trap Banger “Superduper”AL99 wants people to remember to be themselves. The DMV rapper feels most authentic when he's expressing his thoughts and dreams through music. With his new single “Superduper,” he's stepping into a new level.Blending smooth rhymes, sharp wordplay, and heavy trap production, “Superduper” delivers a melodic, motivational sound. Inspired by the energy of artists like Future and Young Thug, the song reflects AL99's journey of confidence, determination, and growth.Produced, written, recorded, and mixed entirely in his home studio, the track showcases his skills as both a rapper and producer. AL99 creates all his beats using his digital audio workstation and MIDI controllers, handling every part of the process himself.The music video is now streaming on YouTube and shows AL99 in the club, drinking, playing cards, and embracing a boss-up mindset. Released through his independent label TPC Music Production, which he co-owns with his mother and manager, “Superduper” is also his first release under his new distribution deal with Bungalo Records under Universal Music Group. The partnership will carry into his debut LP, Elevate, arriving in early 2026.Music runs deep in his family. His grandfather, Herbert “TUBO” Rhoad, was one of the original members of the legendary a cappella group The Persuasions. Many other relatives performed in bands and in church, creating the environment that shaped him. Although his mother was hesitant about him pursuing music, AL99 studied the business side of the industry, kept creating, and showed her he could build a career with full control.Consistency is his biggest strength. When he isn't in the studio, he's performing at clubs from the DMV to Brooklyn, Atlanta, and Arizona. He designs his live shows as full experiences, moving from hip hop to R&B, pulling out the guitar, and closing with high-energy tracks.For AL99, this is just the beginning of the level-up.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.
Welcome back to the EUVC Podcast, your inside track on the people, models, and math reshaping European venture.This week, Andreas talks with Damian Cristian and Guy Conway, co-founders of Rule 30 - an AI research lab building what they claim is the world's first fully systematic venture strategy. We go deep on the difference between “data-driven” (hygiene) and decision-driven (engine), why labels matter, and how portfolio math crushes intuition.They unpack founder-trajectory signals, graph-based network evolution, market topology (yes, biology-inspired stats), and a portfolio design targeting 3x+ minimum returns with 97.5% confidence. We also debate the “access myth,” party rounds, and why they won't sell their alpha.Whether you're an LP testing managers, a GP rethinking reserves, or a founder curious how algorithms “see” you - this one's for the nerds and the pragmatists.Here's what's covered:01:46 | What is “Quant VC” and how it differs from traditional venture06:39 | Why pre-seed isn't an access problem — it's a triage problem09:55 | Can AI really make investment decisions at pre-seed?14:13 | Training the model on 15 years of startup data to find top-decile winners20:55 | The “Outlier Trajectory” of founders — decoding team evolution through data26:42 | Why Rule 30 calls itself an AI Research Lab, not a VC fund35:36 | Portfolio construction math: the danger of the “middle” strategy55:57 | Follow-ons vs upfront bets — why they avoid reserves entirely61:40 | Access myth-busting — why 99 % of pre-seed deals are open to smart capital

Congratulations are in store as the Italian imprint Pregnant Void marks their 20th release via a phenomenal LP from the Berlin based, Toxido Mask. With prior contributions on Semantica, Art Bei Ton, and Futurepast; the Tresor resident's latest offering titled ‘Spirit Waters' is a welcome addition and her first, furthering the label's commitment to contemporary music with an experimental edge. Coming in at eight tracks, six originals and two remixes by Ina Kacz, and Nadia Struiwigh respectively, the release maintains a transformative and introspective theme throughout as each track unfurls slowly and intentionally without pressure. Providing those moments of solitude and space to experience the surrounding sounds. Falling in the middle of the release, Spirit Guide is the beginning of the exhale to the inhale that is the first half of Spirit Waters. Listening from cover to cover, there's a subtle uplifting feeling in the first three tracks, the melodies ethereal, all channeling a sense of anticipation. Spirit Guide rises softly from the depths, its synths working overtime as they seemingly engulf and wash over the listener through the whole spectrum of frequencies. From the warmth of the low end to the spacey highs and glittering accents and tribalistic drum patterns, each element intertwines and works seamlessly with each other. Spirit Waters will be released on the 5th of December. @toxido-mask @pregnantvoid www.instagram.com/toxicmassk/ www.instagram.com/pregnant_void/ Write up by @huedj Follow us on social media: @itsdelayed linktr.ee/delayed www.delayed.nyc www.facebook.com/itsdelayed www.instagram.com/_____delayed www.youtube.com/@_____delayed Contact us: info@delayed.nyc
In this inspiring strength training transformation story, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson sit down with Coach Mac McGregor and his longtime client, Gillespie Ferguson, to explore one of the most powerful journeys ever shared on Beast Over Burden. Once a self-described "unathletic" late starter plagued by chronic pain, self-doubt, and years of setbacks, Gillespie rebuilt not just his lifts but his entire understanding of what he was capable of. Through patient coaching, persistent work, and a deep friendship formed through the process, he transformed from a hesitant beginner into a confident, physically capable Coast Guard volunteer on the Isle of Skye. In this candid conversation, Mac and Gillespie walk through the early struggles of pain and insecurity, the slow technical rebuild of every lift, the psychological work of staying committed through setbacks, and the surprising breakthrough that came years into training. They also share the dramatic impact of Lyme disease, the process of starting over from scratch, and why knowing how to train is the ultimate form of resilience. This episode is a reminder that strength is not reserved for the gifted—it's for anyone willing to start, struggle, and keep showing up.

Heart attacks in people with “normal” cholesterol are not rare outliers. They're the warning flare that our entire playbook is broken. In this episode of Medical Disruptors, I sit down with interventional cardiologist-turned-functional cardiologist Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj to unpack what happens when you do everything “right” on paper… and still end up in the ER with a heart attack. We get into advanced lipid testing (ApoB, Lp(a), and small dense LDL) and how different LDL particle patterns can drive very different levels of plaque risk. We also break down how standard stress tests miss the very plaques that actually rupture, and why CTA and smarter labs are finally giving us a way to see real cardiovascular risk. Your labs, your lifestyle, your environment, and your nervous system all matter—and you deserve a plan that reflects that. Hit play and start upgrading how you think about your heart.

Ugly Stick's Absinthe returns in 2025 with a long overdue vinyl reissue, more than thirty years after its first appearance on CD in 1993. Formed in Delaware, Ohio in 1989, the four-piece carved out a sound that was equal parts Los Angeles punk and Midwestern heartland rock, drawing on the grit of X and the melodic punch of Tom Petty to create what critics would later hail as “genre-crossing” and “seminal.” Hovercraft Records has remastered the album and added bonus material from contemporaneous live shows and unreleased studio sessions, marking the record's first-ever release on LP and digital platforms. Steeped in the small towns and shrinking industrial landscapes of Middle America, Ugly Stick were uniquely positioned to capture the tension of that moment in time. Their cow-punk attack carried both the edge of beer-soaked garage nihilism and the expressiveness of roots rock filtered through a landscape of carnival posters, endless farm fields, and collapsing barns. As Columbus Alive once wrote, Absinthe was “the bedrock of the Cowtown sound,” establishing Ugly Stick as central figures in a movement that defined the Columbus scene of the early '90s. The record's remastered release only underscores how prescient the band was. “Their mix of punk, college rock and alt-country was years ahead of its time,” noted Daggerzine. Exclaim! observed that “straddling the line between genres is never an easy task but with Ugly Stick's talent and experience the results have rarely been so rewarding.” From the ragged twang to the jangly guitars, the band's ability to transform punk and rockabilly into something original drew international praise, with Belgium's Rootstime calling them “pioneers of a genre and a sound which was baptized as the Columbus sound.”Photo Credit: Amy Rathbone UGLY STICK ONLINE INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK | BANDCAMP | YOUTUBE Checkout my YouTube Channel with long form interviews from the Subversives | the History of Lowest of the Low. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9d1VSeOHYuxFWKuRdmn9j8UTW6AHwS_fAlso my Weekly Tour Vlog is up an live on the YouTubeshttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9d1VSeOHYuwphwhc4zd0VgY66f1OUQZp Pledge monthly with Patreon https://www.patreon.com/apologueShop Apologue products at http://apologue.ca/shopCheck out new Four Square Here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/foursquare/brighton-beach-ephttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/foursquare/seven-oh-sevenhttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/foursquare/industry-at-home–21st-anniversary-remix-remasteredhttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/foursquare/when-weeks-were-weekends

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake continues to generate headlines as December 2025 unfolds, with significant developments spanning his personal life, health, and career ventures. On the relationship front, Radar Online reported today that Timberlake and wife Jessica Biel, who celebrated their thirteenth wedding anniversary in October, are facing notable strain. The couple has been leading increasingly separate lives as their careers diverge dramatically. While Biel, 43, is experiencing considerable success launching her production company Iron Ocean Productions, which has generated hit series including The Sinner, Cruel Summer, and Candy, Timberlake's musical output has stalled since his 2006 breakthrough SexyBack. Insiders claim Biel has expressed frustration that the 44-year-old is contributing little to household efforts despite having a relatively light schedule. The disconnect appears philosophical as well, with sources suggesting Biel is focused on evolving her career trajectory while Timberlake appears fixated on recapturing his former pop music dominance from his twenties and thirties.On the health front, Timberlake recently revealed a significant personal health challenge. Following the conclusion of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, the singer disclosed that he was diagnosed with Lyme disease during the tour's run. This announcement marks a candid moment where he addressed the condition publicly.Career-wise, Timberlake remains active on the touring circuit. He's currently bringing The Forget Tomorrow World Tour to additional venues, with a December 16th performance scheduled at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Additionally, he's been announced as a headliner for the 2025 Lollapalooza South American festivals alongside Olivia Rodrigo and Tool.His business ventures continue to reflect his Memphis roots. The Memphis native maintains strong ties to his hometown through various philanthropic and commercial endeavors, including his minority ownership stake in the Memphis Grizzlies, which he acquired in 2012.On the creative front, Timberlake is expected to announce a new album soon, reportedly titled Everything I Thought It Was, which would mark his sixth studio LP. The project will feature production collaboration with longtime collaborator Timbaland.His published book Hindsight and All the Things I Can't See in Front of Me, features over 250 never-before-published personal photographs and offers intimate insight into his creative process across music, acting, and personal life.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In this episode of the Rainmaker Podcast, host Gui Costin welcomes Karl Engelmann, co-founder and COO of Sarmaya Partners, to share the story behind the firm's rapid emergence and his philosophy on sales, leadership, and entrepreneurship. With over three decades of experience in financial services, Karl offers listeners a rare, behind-the-scenes look into launching an asset management firm and the strategic thinking driving its success.Karl begins by tracing his unconventional career path, from aspiring journalist to accomplished sales leader. His communication skills and passion for storytelling laid the foundation for a career that spanned roles at Angel Oak Capital, Cambiar Investors, and AIM/INVESCO. These experiences culminated in the co-founding of Sarmaya Partners, where Karl saw the opportunity to build a firm aligned with his vision and values.The conversation dives deep into Sarmaya's unique investment strategy, which centers around a thematic belief in a new commodity super cycle. Rather than chase overcrowded markets, Karl and his partner Wasif identified a return to tangible assets like gold, silver, and copper as the next long-term trend. After initially structuring the firm as an LP, they pivoted to launching an actively managed ETF in January 2024 to better serve a broader investor base.Karl shares Sarmaya's go-to-market strategy and how they've grown from two founders to a six-person team, carefully hiring seasoned professionals with deep industry relationships. He emphasizes the power of focus, targeting RIAs, family offices, and mid-sized broker-dealers—segments often overlooked by larger firms but open to differentiated strategies. A major theme throughout is the importance of relationships over transactions, and Karl's approach is deeply rooted in decades of trust and credibility built across the industry.Sales process and infrastructure also play a key role in the discussion. Karl highlights the importance of having a clean, well-maintained CRM as the central nervous system of the firm's sales efforts. Partnering with Dakota has helped Sarmaya stay agile and organized in an environment where client rosters and firm dynamics are constantly shifting.The episode also explores Karl's leadership style, which blends high accountability with trust and autonomy. He believes in empowering experienced salespeople to execute without micromanagement, while maintaining clarity through communication and shared goals. His mantra—"take the bit out of the mouth and let them run"—underscores his belief in hiring the right people and giving them room to perform.As the episode closes, Karl speaks candidly about the biggest challenge facing Sarmaya: growing assets under management. Yet his energy is unwavering. With a strong product, clear strategy, and relentless optimism, Karl's approach to sales and leadership provides an inspiring blueprint for anyone building a firm from the ground up. This episode is a masterclass in execution, resilience, and the long game of relationship-driven sales.Tired of chasing outdated leads?

Arcana Coelestia 7902. Innocence consists in acknowledging that in oneself there is nothing but evil, and that all good is from the Lord; and also in believing that man does not know or perceive anything from himself, but from the Lord, thus also the truth which is of faith. When man is in this state, then falsity can be removed from him, and truth can be instilled by the Lord. This state is what is signified by the unleavened things, and also by the eating of the paschal lamb. AC 7854 Upon things bitter. That this signifies by means of the undelightful things of temptations, is evident from the signification of “bitter things” or “bitternesses” as being things undelightful, here those which belong to temptations. For the good of innocence, which is represented by the paschal lamb, cannot be appropriated to anyone except through temptations. By “unleavened bread” such good is signified, and because this is appropriated through temptations, the bread was ordered to be eaten upon bitter things; and moreover, that bread was to them bread of affliction, like the manna (Deut. 8:15, 16; 16:3), because it was devoid of leaven, that is, of any falsity from evil, for man cannot endure pure truth and pure good. That things undelightful are signified by “bitter things,” is plain in Isaiah: Woe to them that call evil good, and good evil; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isa. 5:20).They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it (Isa. 24:9).That the undelightful things of temptations are signified by “bitter things” is evident from these words in Exodus:At last they came unto Marah, but they could not drink of the waters, on account of their bitterness, because they were bitter. And the people murmured against Moses, who, when he cried unto Jehovah, Jehovah showed him wood which he cast into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There He set for him a statute and a judgment, because there He tried him (Exod. 15:23-25).And also in John:There fell from heaven a great star, burning as a torch. The name of the star is called Wormwood, and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter (Rev. 8:10-11).In these passages “bitter waters” denote the undelightful things of temptations; the “men who died of the waters” denote those who succumbed in temptations. Third Round posts are short audio clips taken from Round 3 comments in the online Logopraxis Life Group meetings. The aim is to maintain focus on understanding the Text's application to the inner life while reinforcing key LP principles highlighted in the exchanges.

Everyone loves a "we closed" post… but nobody talks about what actually happens next. Year one of operations is the most chaotic, most demanding, and least "passive" part of multifamily real estate — and most people have no idea what they're stepping into. In this episode, I break down the real work behind owning and operating apartments. Year one is where the property starts talking to you. Tenants, lenders, partners, vendors — everyone needs something. Problems you never saw in due diligence suddenly show up. Bills spike. Delinquency hits. Contractors ghost you. Utilities jump. And every weakness in your business plan gets exposed instantly. This is the part Instagram never shows. In this episode, we cover: – Why year one feels like a constant fire drill – The truth about older buildings and hidden issues – Delinquency, turnover, and the residents you "inherit" – The vendor and contractor chaos nobody warns you about – Cash flow pressure, tax deadlines, and insurance headaches – Weekly operator habits that keep a deal alive – Why year one determines the success of the entire hold period – What real operators do when the pain hits If you're in year one right now, you're not crazy — you're becoming an operator. If you're thinking about becoming a GP, listen with both ears open. And if you're an LP, this is why operators get paid what they get paid.

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Benjamin Kanner, CEO and co-founder of 3V Infrastructure, a company focused on delivering long-term, scalable EV charging solutions for multifamily portfolios. With a background spanning commercial real estate, renewable energy project finance, and multiple startups, Ben brings a uniquely holistic view of how electrification intersects with property ownership and investor demand. His company's model—installing, owning, and operating EV chargers at no cost to property owners—creates a compelling new amenity for renters while helping owners stay ahead of rapidly shifting consumer expectations. Throughout the conversation, Ben and Jonathan discuss the accelerating adoption of electric vehicles, why multifamily properties sit at the center of this transition, and the economic forces shaping the need for reliable, long-dwell charging infrastructure. Ben explains the cost drivers behind EV ownership, how modular battery technology is evolving, and why Level 2 charging is the most practical option for home-based needs. He also breaks down how 3V underwrites utilization, diversifies risk across large portfolios, and helps property owners increase rents and tenant satisfaction—all without capital outlay. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how EV charging impacts NOI, what's really happening with power demand, why used EV markets will expand rapidly, and how owners can prepare their buildings for the next decade of transportation needs. Whether you're an LP, a multifamily operator, or simply curious about electrification, this episode highlights the strategic advantage of early adoption. In this episode, you will hear: Why EV adoption has crossed a national inflection point and what that means for multifamily owners. How 3V Infrastructure finances, installs, and maintains EV chargers with no upfront cost to operators. The economics of EV ownership—including maintenance, fueling costs, and battery modularity. Why Level 2 charging is ideal for long-dwell environments like apartment communities. The role of data, utilization modeling, and EV "rent rolls" in determining charger counts. How electrification, grid demand, and infrastructure investment will shape the next decade of CRE.

Welcome back to another episode of the EUVC Podcast, your trusted inside track on the people, deals, and dynamics shaping European venture.This week, Andreas Munk Holm is joined by Max Kufner, Co-Founder and CEO of again, and Jan Miczaika, Partner at HV Capital.again is one of those rare European deep-tech stories that blends academic brilliance, industrial execution, and venture pace. Born out of DTU, with roots at Stanford and MIT, again uses gas-eating microbes to turn CO₂ emissions into valuable chemicals and materials. In plain English: they take carbon that's already in the air (not the ground) and repurpose it into things we use every day, from plastics to fertilizers.Backed by HV Capital, GV, and a handful of top European and US investors, again is on a mission to decouple industrial growth from fossil carbon. But the conversation goes far beyond climate tech.Max and Jan unpack what it takes to build deep tech at venture speed, the reality of talent scarcity in Europe, the cultural differences between US and EU deep-tech ecosystems, and how to navigate board dynamics, milestone-based investing, and the journey to a Series B in a capital-intensive world.Whether you're a founder, investor, or LP curious about deep tech's reindustrialisation wave — this one's for you.Here what's covered:01:24 | again in one line — gas-eating microbes → chemicals (no oil out of the ground)02:53 | Why HV Capital backed again — climate upside and a chance to redefine European chemicals04:31 | Investor → founder pendulum — why Max went from Atlantic Labs partner back to operator06:20 | The serial founder advantage (and its hidden trap)10:17 | Building deep tech in Europe — talent constraints, optimism gaps, and moving early to the US15:30 | Multipolarity — global operations, risk appetite, and where to spend your time23:38 | Boardcraft — how to use your board (and avoid being over-managed)28:39 | On-air sparring — asset-heavy vs. platform-heavy business models33:17 | Prepping for Series B — risk, IRR, and the difference between validation and scale36:59 | Milestone-based investing in deep tech — bridges, binaries, and how to keep momentum43:12 | LPs and VCs — why deep tech is high-risk and high-alpha46:08 | Founder lessons — customer co-creation, speed, and building fast with scientists48:06 | Final reflections — Europe's industrial renewal through deep tech
Send us a textFrank stops by the show to discuss his solo record, his childhood adventures with his brother and so much more. *****Living Between the Lines is the debut solo LP from Frank Meyer. A long time coming, Meyer's been hinting at it for a while now with Bandcamp exclusive tracks, covers on tribute albums, acoustic solo shows, and his acclaimed collaboration album with Eddie Spaghetti of the Supersuckers. Like the Eddie collab, LBTL is out on Kitten Robot Records. The 11-song album adds touches of blues and soul to Meyer's expected high-energy rock ‘n 'roll, revealing a more mature voice. He is joined for duets by longtime friend and collaborator Lisa Kekaula of the Bellrays on the title track, Runaways icon Cherie Currie on “Piece of Me” and Spaghetti himself on “Partners In Crime.”An award-winning musician, filmmaker and author, Meyer has a track record that covers rock ‘n 'roll, punk, heavy metal, blues, and country. Known for his work with everyone from Rock ‘n 'Roll Hall of Famers James Williamson (Iggy & the Stooges) and Wayne Kramer (MC5) to legendary punk act FEAR, Meyer has carved out a career full of unlikely collaborations, hard work, searing guitar playing, and ace songwriting skills.“It meant a lot to have these particular vocalists join me on my solo debut,” says Meyer. “Lisa and I go way back to my earliest days of the music scene in L.A.. Eddie is also an ld friend and touring buddy, and was a big inspiration in making this album. Cherie saw the Streewalkin' Cheetahs early on and helped us get signed. So all of them are dear to me and have been integral in my career.”As kids, Frank and his brother (actor Breckin Meyer) put on plays and lip-sync concerts for their parents. By age 12, lil 'Frankie was playing guitar, writing songs and recording at Frank Zappa's house with his childhood friends Ahmet and Dweezil. By age 15, he was gigging professionally around the ‘80s Hollywood club scene with his teenage high school band. In the mid-'90s, Meyer formed punk act the Streetwalkin' Cheetahs, who went on to record many acclaimed albums, tour the world and carve out a niche as one of L.A.'s hardest working, hardest rocking bands. The band remains active with new releases and reissues out in stores on Rum Bar Records, Heavy Medication Records, and Ghost Highway Records, plus European and US touring activity.*****If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comUpcoming guests can be found: https://dmneedom.com/upcoming-guest Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

Corporate venture capital isn't just having “a bit of VC on the side.” Done well, it's a strategic lens on the future. Done badly, it's a short-lived pet project with a half-life of 3.7 years and a trail of confused founders and annoyed co-investors.In this episode, we sit down with Martin Scherrer, Partner & Head of Managed Funds at Redstone, alongside our own CVC lead Jeppe Høier, to unpack what really happens when corporates leave venture — and how to do it without destroying value or reputation.Redstone runs a dual model: classic VC funds + “VC-as-a-Service” for corporates and family offices. Martin himself has lived three lives:Inside Swiss Re's CVC (later shut down)As a founder of an insurtech in SwitzerlandNow as VC & fund manager at Redstone across multiple corporate mandates.
And Moses called all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw ye forth, and take you an animal of the flock according to your families, and kill ye the passover. And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in, the blood that is in the basin, and ye shall touch the lintel and the two posts with the blood that is in the basin; and no one of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning. And Jehovah will pass through to inflict a plague on Egypt; and He shall see the blood upon the lintel, and upon the two posts, and Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come unto your houses to inflict a plague. And ye shall keep this word for a statute to thee and to thy sons forever. And it shall be that when ye shall come unto the land which Jehovah will give you, as He hath spoken, that ye shall keep this service. And it shall be, when your sons shall say unto you, What is this service to you? that ye shall say, This is the sacrifice of the passover to Jehovah, in that He passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, when He inflicted a plague on Egypt, and liberated our houses. And the people bent itself, and bowed itself. And the sons of Israel went and they did as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. Exodus 12:21-28 The Heavenly Marriage Arcana Coelestia 7945… it is common in the Word for a thing to be seemingly repeated; but the first mention relates to the truth which is of the understanding, and the second to the good which is of the will. The reason is that in every detail of the Word there is the heavenly marriage, which is that of good and truth (see n. 683, 793, 801, 2173, 2516, 2712, 4138, 5138, 5502, 6343); and, in the supreme sense, the Divine marriage, which is that of the Divine good in the Lord and of the Divine truth proceeding from Him (n. 3004, 5502, 6179). From this also it can be seen that the Word is most holy. To remain in the house AC 7923 And no one of you shall go out of the door of his house. That this signifies that they shall abide steadfast in good, which must not be regarded from truth, is evident from the signification of “not going out,” as being to abide steadfast; and from the signification of “house,” as being good (n. 2233, 2234, 2559, 3652, 3720, 7833-7835, 7848). From this it is evident that by “no one of you shall go out of the door of his house” is signified that they shall abide steadfast in good. The reason why it signified that good must not be regarded from truth, is because to “abide in the house” denotes to abide in good; but to “go out of the door of the house” denotes to go from good to truth; for good is within, but truth without (n. 7910). (What it is to look from good to truths, see n. 5895, 5897, 7857.) From truth to look to good is to look from what is external to what is internal but from good to look to truth is to look from what is internal to what is external; for, as just said, good is interior, and truth exterior. From good to look to truth is according to order, for all Divine influx is through interiors to exteriors; whereas from truth to look to good is not according to order; and therefore when a man is being regenerated, the order is inverted, and good or charity is regarded in the first place, and truth or faith in the second. The need for self compulsion AC 7914 … the good of innocence, which is the good of love to the Lord, is not received by the man of the spiritual church unless he compels himself; because it can with difficulty be believed by him that the Lord is the only God, and also that His Human is Divine; and therefore as he is not in faith, neither can be in love to Him, consequently not in the good of innocence, unless he compels himself. (That man ought to compel himself, and that when he compels himself it is from freedom, but not when he is compelled, see n. 1937, 1947.) This is signified by “drawing forth,” namely the paschal animal. That to draw it forth involves some secret thing which does not appear in the sense of the letter, is manifest. Third Round posts are short audio clips taken from Round 3 comments in the online Logopraxis Life Group meetings. The aim is to maintain focus on understanding the Text's application to the inner life while reinforcing key LP principles highlighted in the exchanges.
Welcome back to another EUVC Podcast, where we explore the lessons, frameworks, and insights shaping Europe's venture ecosystem.Today, Andreas Munk Holm sits down with Jan Lozek, Co-Founder and Managing Director and Founder of Future Energy Ventures (FEV), the Berlin-based climate-tech investor born from the carve-out of E.ON's corporate venture arm.With a 50-company track record and a new €235M fund, Jan shares what it takes to spin out from a corporate, how to invest across the energy transition with venture discipline, and why Europe's renewable leadership is creating both opportunity and complexity.
Approaching 85 years old, guitarist Jorma Kaukonen talks about the early '60s onward — from the beginnings of Jefferson Airplane to his current solo career, including his new archival 2-LP live album, Wabash Avenue (out on Record Store Day Black Friday). Wabash Avenue is a special release, highlighting unheard songs at a solo acoustic performance in 1965 (before Kaukonen joined the Jefferson Airplane) at The Offstage, a folk club in San Jose, California. Guest host, longtime Goldmine contributor Lee Zimmerman, interviewed a vibrant Kaukonen about other subjects, too: Woodstock and Summer of Love memories, the essence of Hot Tuna (w/ former Jefferson Airplane member Jack Casady) and the guitar school of the Fur Peace Ranch, started by Kaukonen and his wife, Vanessa.

Arcana Coelestia 1871. I cannot describe how the Lord’s Word appears before angels, but it can be grasped to some extent by people who have seen optical cylinders in museums. These cylinders reflect beautiful images from distorted drawings projected in a circle around them. Although the surrounding drawing appears to have no shape, organization, or pattern but to be simply a confused projection, it presents a lovely picture when focused onto the cylinder. 1 That is how the Lord’s Word is, especially the prophetic part of the Old Testament. Hardly anything can be seen in the literal meaning besides a disorganized jumble; but when it is read by a person on earth (particularly a little boy or girl), it gradually rises up, turning more beautiful and more pleasing as it goes. In the end it presents itself to the Lord as a human figure representing the whole of heaven — not as heaven actually is but as the Lord wishes it to be; in other words, as his likeness. 1. Although one scholar (Potts 1888-1902, under “cylinder”) understands this device to be a kaleidoscope, Swedenborg seems here to be referring to a device called an anamorphoscope, which produces an optical illusion called an anamorphosis. The cylinder is polished (as indicated in similar descriptions in New Jerusalem 260; White Horse 11:4; Spiritual Experiences [Swedenborg 1998-2002] §2164) and acts as a curved mirror; it is set next to a distorted drawing that is composed in such a way that the reflection of the drawing on the surface of the cylinder appears properly proportioned. For examples of anamorphoses from Swedenborg’s time and before, see Leeman and others 1976. (A reflecting cylinder may be seen in plate 53 there.) Further examples, though not of the same historical interest, can be found in McLoughlin Bros. 1979. [SS, LHC] AC 7847. Angelic ideas are of such a nature that natural things bear relation to such things as belong to man. The reason is that the spiritual world or heaven is in the form of a man, and all things of that world, that is, all spiritual things, which are truths and goods, bear relation to this form, as has been shown at the end of many chapters in treating of correspondences. And whereas in angelic ideas natural things become spiritual, so also does a house, which to the angels is the mind of man; the bedchambers and inner rooms being the interiors of the mind; and the windows, the doors, the posts, and the lintels, the exteriors of the mind, which introduce. As angelic ideas are of such a nature, they are also living; and so when the things in the natural world which are dead objects, pass into the spiritual world, they become living objects; for everything spiritual is living, because it proceeds from the Lord. On reciprocity Intercourse of the Soul and the Body 12. [4] Furthermore, unless the understanding could be separately perfected, and the will by means of it, a man would not be a man, but a beast. For without that separation, and without the ascent of the understanding above the will, he would not be able to think, and from thought to speak, but only to express his affection by sounds; neither would he be able to act from reason, but only from instinct; still less would he be able to know the things which are of God, and God by means of them, and thus to be conjoined to Him, and to live to eternity. For a man thinks and wills as from himself, and this as from himself is the reciprocal of conjunction; for there cannot be conjunction without a reciprocal, just as there cannot be conjunction of the active with the passive without reaction. God alone acts, and man suffers himself to be acted on, and he reacts in all appearance as from himself, though interiorly it is from God. Divine Love and Wisdom 49. With respect to God: it is impossible for Him to love others and to be loved reciprocally by others in whom there is anything of infinity, that is, anything of the essence and life of love in itself, or anything of the Divine. For if there were beings having in them anything of infinity, that is, of the essence and life of love in itself, that is, of the Divine, it would not be God loved by others, but God loving Himself; since the Infinite, that is, the Divine, is one only, and if this were in others, Itself would be in them, and would be the love of self Itself; and of that love not the least trace can possibly be in God, since it is wholly opposed to the Divine Essence. Consequently, for this relation to be possible there must be others in whom there is nothing of the Divine in itself.

Welcome back to Transmissions. This week: Steve Von Till, of sludge legends Neurosis, the tribal ambient spin-off Tribes of Neurot, solo albums under this own name, and the psych folk project Harvestman. He runs the independent label, Neurot Recordings. And as if all that isn't enough, he's also a poet, and an educator—when he's not playing music, he's bringing knowledge to the next generation, working as a fourth grade teacher in North Idaho. If you've been listening to Transmissions for awhile, you know that we're hardly dogmatic when it comes to genres, but we don't often feature artists who could be classified as metal. But that's part of what makes Von Till such an interesting guest—his own music certainly qualifies as “heavy,” but it's shot through with influences from very much within the AD canon: krautrock, ambient, folk, haunted country rock. His latest is a solo LP, the piano and synth drenched Alone in a World of Wounds. It is full of songs that, to hear Von Till put it, work as expressions of his soul, his heart, mind, his “earthly being and the whatever unearthly bits…connect with it all.” In addition to his work with Neurosis and Harvestman, this talk focuses in on the connection between humans and their natural surroundings, his work with the indigenous suicide prevention campaign Firekeeper Alliance, and some reflections on how his early punk days made him peers with Green Day and Operation Ivy—not often bands you hear mentioned in relation to Von Till. We are pleased to share this conversation as we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, a time to reflect on our place in relation to each other and to the land itself. We hope you enjoy it. Transmissions is created in partnership with the Talkhouse Podcast Network. We're brought to you by Aquarium Drunkard, an independent music media crew headed by Justin Gage. Over at Aquarium Drunkard, you'll gain access to 20 years of music writing, playlist, essays, mixtapes, radio special, podcasts, videos and more.
In His Wake is the debut release from PINES, a new project from Detroit-born artist Josh Hight, a former member of early 2000s post-punk outfit The Detachment Kit and solo artist under the name Irons. The EP was recorded in East Sussex produced by Richard Norris (The Grid). In His Wake is being released via Semaphore Records on 10” LP vinyl, digital download and streaming services September 5. In His Wake was shaped by grief, disillusionment, and a search for something beyond the visible world. The songs here are intimate and expansive, fusing the weight of lived experience with a sense of mysticism and emotional pull. This is music made from memory, distance, and quiet intensity, possessing a rich sonic depth, blending shoegaze, slow-burn Americana, and dreamlike psychedelia. Special guests include Andy Bell (Ride, Oasis) on guitar, Emmett Kelly (Bonnie “Prince” Billy, The Cairo Gang, The Hard Quartet) on guitar and bass, and vocals from Dottie Cochran of Deary. The title track, “In His Wake,” is a reflection on being the only surviving child in a family touched by loss—haunted by absence but also frustrated by the dullness and complacency of adulthood. “Fifteen” explores a formative relationship marked by imbalance, looking back on it through the lens of maturity, with all its contradictions intact. “Uriel” is a ritual invocation—part hymn, part apocalyptic prayer—calling to the archangel in a time of digital saturation, collapse, and the possibility of transcendence. A professional photographer and director, Hight's creative work lives at the intersection of image, sound, and emotion. His musical vision is is raw, cinematic, and steeped in atmosphere. Richard Norris' first production was Jack The Tab, the seminal acid house album co-created with Genesis P-Orridge of Psychic TV. He went on to work with artists including Joe Strummer, Sun Ra, Robert Fripp, and Dave Ball of Soft Cell as part of The Grid, as well as Erol Alkan in the psychedelic duo Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve. Josh met producer Richard Norris at a Stone Club event in London, where they discovered they lived minutes from each other in Lewes. What began as a collaboration on film soundtracks soon evolved into a deeper creative partnership. The EP was recorded at Norris' Metal Box Studios in Lewes.

Chris Lopez and Paul Shannon sit down with investor and educator Julie Holly for a candid conversation about wins, losses, and leadership as an LP and GP. Julie traces her path from house hacking to syndications, shares the “receive & release” mindset she uses to process setbacks, and explains what changed in her underwriting and operator vetting after a tough year, including one deal where mismanagement led to a total loss. They cover how LPs should share accountability, the exact questions to ask sponsors (who underwrites, how they stress-test, and how they communicate), and why Julie paused new offerings to focus on stewardship and transparency. Key Takeaways Start as an LP to learn the experience end-to-end; early distributions can feel great, but plans must survive rate, insurance, and market shifts “Receive & release”: make space to process losses, own your part, then offload what isn't yours so you can lead and decide clearly Trust and verify: dig into vacancy, taxes, insurance, payroll, and who actually underwrites (in-house vs. outsourced/AI); stress-test more than one way Accountability is shared: GPs must report clearly and often; LPs must understand their risk profile, read docs, and avoid “write first, learn later” FOMO Choose relationships, not just returns: invest with people who answer candidly, welcome hard questions, and are reachable when things get bumpy Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.

Record Store Day Black Friday 2025 is this Friday, November 28th. This week's episode is the second of two special spotlights on a few of the featured titles from the Black Friday List, which is up now at RecordStoreDay.com. This week, we welcome back Talking Heads drummer and co-founder Chris Frantz to unpack Tentative Decisions: Demos & Live a vinyl collection from Rhino Records exclusively for RSD Black Friday featuring a newly discovered demo by pre-Talking Heads group, The Artistics, plus eleven demo and live tracks recorded by the original trio lineup of the band (with Tina Weymouth, Frantz and Byrne) recorded in 1975 and 1976. Chris even teases an upcoming Talking Heads project that will re-unite the group member once again. And staying in a New York groove, Deee-Lite founding member Supa DJ Dmitry Brill is here to celebrate the release of The Very Best Of Deee-Lite, a double LP on de-groovy purple and orange splatter vinyl. Along the way, the Ukrainian born musician shares the funkadelic story of Deee-Lite's early NYC club days, complete with tales of Bootsy Collins, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley, and Q-Tip, plus a most cherished classic rock album that Dmitry purchased at great expense back in the former Soviet Union. Finally, we mark the passing of Reggae superstar Jimmy Cliff (1944-2025), and Stone Roses/Primal Scream bass player Gary "Mani" Mounfield (1962 -2025) the soul of "Madchester." The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered, and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.

Barry Greenfield began his musical ride in 1965 when he was just 15 years old. Over the subsequent decades, Barry has become a greatly appreciated, old-school, singer songwriter, with three number one records, twenty-five plus covers, and life as a touring musician and storyteller. He actually walked away from the music business in the mid-70s saying, “it's not for me,” and yet he remained a dedicated songwriter and performer, releasing twelve LP's while sharing his music with audiences everywhere. Barry's autobiography, My Journey to Blue Sky, was recently published by New Haven Publishing. It covers the intimate details of his professional years, including, standing on the shoulders of various giants that he has known or worked with, like Cher, John Lennon, Larry Carlton, Supertramp, Kenny Rogers, Harry Nilsson, 10cc, and more. Barry's classic album, Blue Sky, released by RCA, has reached its 50th anniversary. And now with his book, Barry reveals the life changing experiences he received while attending the ‘music school' of the real world in those halcyon days of 1963 to 1975. Barry learned everything by listening, watching, and questioning. Please be sure to stick around at the end of the show for a very special treat. Barry has graciously lent us his powerful hit song, “New York is Closed Tonight.,” which we'll play for everyone to enjoy.

When you see someone talking to themself in public, your first thought might be that person is a little crazy and maybe has mental health issues. But what if it's actually one of the most powerful forms of self-leadership? In today's episode, I'll show you how using your own voice can immediately transform your mental and emotional state, elevate your focus, and help you lead yourself through any challenge. I'll share a story about a close friend who inspired me with his daily "self-talk" practice, and how I came to realize he wasn't acting crazy—he was actually being very intentional. Over time, I discovered that speaking affirmations and prayers out loud with intensity, not just thinking them silently, has a far more profound impact on my mental, emotional state, and physical nervous system. Lastly, I'll walk you through a simple 14-day challenge that you can track and rate the impact it's having on you. Because the truth is, silence helps you observe your mind, but your voice can lead it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why talking to yourself out loud isn't crazy, it's conscious self-leadership. How spoken affirmations and prayers can instantly shift your emotions. The science behind distanced self-talk and how it reprograms your identity. The difference that silence and speaking out loud has on your Miracle Morning. A 14-day challenge to strengthen your focus, faith, and mindset.
