Pro wrestling stables come in all shapes and sizes, but many of the most memorable groups are the ones with lots of people in them: nWo, Bullet Club, Planet Jarrett, Mad Blankey, The Alliance, etc. Similarly, there are plenty of bands that boast a large roster of people. On this episode, Andrew and returning guest Brady Trappett (Voices of Wrestling) play bands with at least five members in them at one time. Some of the picks have only five, but many others go well beyond that into double digits. Artists include Jurassic 5, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Earth, Wind & Fire, BROCKHAMPTON, INXS, Slipknot, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, and many more. There are so many people on this episode, it's a miracle they were all able to fit!Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent PartnerBluesky: @MusicoftheMat / @justandrew / @ydarbAll VOW podcasts, articles, previews, and reviews: VoicesofWrestling.comJoin the VOW Discord to discuss Music of the Mat and other shows/topics: VoicesofWrestling.com/DiscordDonate to Music of the Mat and other VOW podcasts: VoicesofWrestling.com/DonateAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week we soak with musician and newly inspired home ‘landscaper,' Austin Bisnow. Austin and I have connected over taking walks with our dogs in the mountains. Today we spend time in the bath, where he shares his path to creating his band, Magic Giant and the magical story of meeting his life partner. Austin grew up in Washington D.C. and now lives in Los Angeles. He made stops in New York and Boulder, CO along the way. However, it wasn't until living in Venice, CA where, as he describes it, “he discovered he could be himself and it was embraced.” Inspired by the life of artists like Benny Blanco, Jon Batiste and his friend Doug Akin (not to be confused with the fine artist Doug Aitken). Yet his biggest inspiration was his own brother Elliott Bisnow - founder of Summit. Austin explains how he wouldn't self-describe as musically gifted - but that his work ethic and dedication to what he loves (writing and producing songs) is what drives his success as an artist. Before starting his own band, Austin produced and wrote songs for other musicians, including Listen by David Guetta that featured John Legend. Austin recounts how he manifested this collaboration before either of the two artists ever met each other. As a firm believer in manifestation, Austin details how he called in his wife and life partner, Deena, through a series of manifestation exercises including a list of qualities and characteristics. Only a few months after completing the exercise, Austin would meet Deena. Austin traveled from California to New York and then to Montreal to “chase the women of his dreams.” Throughout his career, Austin mainly focused on pop records, but after attending Lollapalooza in Chicago and seeing Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, he was inspired to start a folk-electronic band: thus, the birth of Magic Giant. He observed that not only did they create a full band, but the energy in the emitted was infectious to the crowd and created a community. Community is something he actively builds with Magic Giant now. Listen now to hear how drive and manifestation have created synchronistic moments in Austin's life journey!To join Secular Sabbath membership, you can find us at secular-sabbath.com/membership.

In 2010, a song by a ten-piece hippie folk pop group unexpectedly started appearing in seemingly endless amounts of movies, TV shows, and commercials.

This podcast has highlighted many long-standing issues with New Age spirituality and the dark side of “good vibes only,” but according to today's returning guest, rockstar philosopher Alex Ebert, dunking on the New Age has become boring and there is much that is still valuable and relevant from its perspective and rituals. On the show we begin with a review of the issues with spiritual communities from the dark side of manifestation to how toxic positivity functions like cancer. Alex explains how the critique of New Agism can become its own shtick. He shares his experience with meditation, heroin addiction and death rituals. We discuss the issue of the antifragile ego and how language is the raw material for subjective reality. Finally we end with an exploration of what is still valuable from New Age spirituality from psychedelics to new ideas of gender. Alex Ebert, famous troubadour from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros now shares a philosophical substack called Bad Guru where he explore these and other timely topics.

Alex is the lead of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. Daniel is the Head of Curriculum at the Monastic Academy in Vermont. I got these two together to jam on the dark side of modern spirituality, and more specifically, the shadows behind mindfulness, meditation and eastern spirituality practices in the west. It is an incredible dialogue between these two, one that I did my best to stay out of the way of. We talk about Westernized Buddhism, spirituality in a capitalistic paradigm, transcending the fear of death, industrial strength meditation, Jordan Hall, status anxiety and so much more.

Alex Ebert is lead singer, songwriter and resident shaman of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, the hippie-inspired outfit that broke out in 2009 with a fresh sound that was difficult to pin down. Via his alter-ego messiah character Edward Sharpe, Ebert and the Magnetic Zeros' breakout single and signature song across four albums is, of course, "Home." An ebullient and endearing anthem of love and pure joy, the song has become iconic thanks to its instantly recognizable whistles and indelible opening lyric, "Alabama, Arkansas/ I do love my ma and pa." But the veneer of joy on "Home" hides an underlying truth: Ebert used Edward Sharpe to rise above his own personal demons. And out of that reality, Ebert later penned his solo song “Truth” – from his first solo album, Alexander – to set the record straight to his fans as a companion piece to "Home." Ebert joined host Peter Csathy for the 10th episode of The Story Behind the Song podcast to discuss his classic "Home." He takes listeners through the inspirations to the production (including that spoken-word ode to Castrinos), and reveals how the darker realities underpinning "Truth" connect to that original hit. Along the way, Ebert's candid, raw conversation reveals his musical journey from rapper to spiritual "Bad Guru" (the name of his philosophy and spirituality newsletter).

We had the pleasure of interviewing Marko DeSantis of Sugarcult over Zoom video! In August 2001, SoCal rockers Sugarcult burst onto the scene with their anthemic debut album Start Static. Combining high-energy punk riffs and irresistible power-pop melodies with a heavy dose of youthful angst, Start Static quickly earned the group a legion of fans, and spawned three hit singles, "Bouncing Off the Walls," "Pretty Girl (The Way)," and "Stuck in America." Now, two decades later, Craft Recordings commemorates this enduring favorite with a deluxe 20th anniversary vinyl and digital reissue. Set for an October 8 street date and available for pre-order, the vinyl edition of Start Static (20th-Anniversary Edition) will feature the original album — newly remastered by the GRAMMY®-winning engineer, Paul Blakemore — plus three special bonus tracks: an early demo of "Say I'm Sorry," a live version of "Bouncing Off the Walls," plus a spirited cover of Elvis Costello & The Attraction's "No Action." The album comes housed in a gatefold jacket, featuring sculpted emboss printing and updated liner notes from the band. Fans can also find a special variant of the LP — pressed on clear vinyl and limited to 500 units — exclusively on Sugarcult's website and at Craft Recordings' online store.  The digital edition, also available October 8, features an additional, previously unreleased live version of the band's hit single, "Stuck in America." and "Bouncing Off the Walls (Live)" Formed in Santa Barbara, CA, in 1998, Sugarcult — whose original lineup consisted of Tim Pagnotta (vocals/guitar), Airin Older (bass/vocals), Marko DeSantis (guitar), and Ben Davis (drums)— made their mark as one of the most dynamic and entertaining pop-punk bands to come out of the 2000s. After independently releasing two demos and two EPs, the quartet caught the ears of Ultimatum Music, who signed Sugarcult and connected them with producer Matt Wallace (Maroon 5, Faith No More, The Replacements) to work on their debut full-length.  Start Static went on to sell more than 300,000 copies, while the band embarked on nearly three years of non-stop touring. In addition to playing the main stage of Warped Tour and appearing at festivals like Glastonbury (UK), Summer Sonic (Japan), and Soundwaves (Australia), the group joined Green Day's American Idiot tour in the U.S. and Japan, as well as Blink 182's European arena tour. They would go on to headline hundreds of shows across North America, Europe, and Japan. Multiple songs off Start Static, meanwhile, could be heard on popular shows like MTV's Laguna Beach and in films like Van Wilder (the stars of which, Ryan Reynolds and Tara Reid, appeared in the music video for "Bouncing Off the Walls.)" In the liner notes, guitarist DeSantis recalls that Start Static  "was our confrontation and/or handshake with the world; our chance to get people to pay attention, earn their respect, and then, hopefully, win their hearts. The album title fit the narrative of the songs—which are mostly vignettes of young adult anxiety over the trials of messy romance and post-adolescent dissatisfaction and uncertainty. [Start Static] was our album title and our mission statement." Following Start Static, Sugarcult went on to release two more acclaimed albums (2004's Palm Trees and Power Lines and 2006's Lights Out), and two DVDs before embarking on an extended hiatus in 2008. Since then, each band member has excelled in a variety of fields within the music industry.  Tim Pagnotta is an award-winning, multi-platinum-selling songwriter and producer who has collaborated with the likes of Weezer, Blink 182, Neon Trees, Walk the Moon, and Elle King. Airin Older went on to become a founding member of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and joined British alt-rock group thenewno2, featuring Dhani Harrison. Marko DeSantis is now a professor of music business, artist development and artist coaching at Los Angeles College of Music, Musicians Institute College of Music and Citrus College. He has also enjoyed several DJ residencies in the U.S. and Japan and has been featured as a guest speaker and panelist at SXSW, UCLA, and Sonos LEAD, among others. Ben Davis, meanwhile, enjoys a successful career writing and producing music for film, TV and commercials. We want to hear from you!

This episode features even more shenanigans with Tim from The Post-Human Podcast.  We can't help but get lost in the sea of confusion I helped build with my unpreparedness.  It was an experiment in chaos and there's little I could do to stop it.  I also have some tunes that are reworkings of old Saint Low Joy (featuring Crash of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros) and a reworking of a vocal line I found on an old cassette tape that was in the attic of an abandoned condominium in Detroit, MI.  There's also some 4 track recordings I found.  Weird no-wave stuff on retuned guitars that I ran through vacuum tubes in an echo chamber somewhere near Los Angeles.  It's a long show.  I'm going on the road and I might have to go remote.  I may never be home again.  But they say you can't go home again, so that means I was never going to be home again anyway so why even mention it?Support the show

Hi Folks! This episode finds us listening to the debut album from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, 'Up From Below'.  This album has a lot of fantastic songs (if you're only familiar with 'Home' that's okay) that cover a lot of topics from addiction to recovery, love to loss and what it means to be home.  We discuss all of this as well as how this album could have been a product of the 1960's music scene, how Alex Ebert created the Edward Sharpe character and the departure of co-writer and singer Jade Castrinos.   Thanks for tuning in!Intro/Outro Music:Upbeat Forever by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5011-upbeat-foreverLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Having a self realization at the top and then at the very top you have transcendence of self which is the reestablishment of a collective will." -Alex Ebert"One of the most generative things that we can experience on earth is struggle." -Alex Ebert"As a kid, I manufactured struggle for myself; I manufactured hardship. " -Alex Ebert"I used to tell people my un-professionalizing professionalism was my profession." -Alex Ebert"There's more genetic differentiation within Africa amongst Africans than there is between the average African genome and the rest of the world." -Alex Ebert"And so race, being an abstract conservatism is going to seem to have a problem with trans, because the idea of trans is that we can declare ourselves any set.

In today's episode, Alexandra speaks with Alex Ebert!You may know Alex from the band Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, or on Instagram as Bad Guru. Alex has been bringing so many incredible philosophical conversations into the space of wellness and new ageism and we are so excited to have him on the show today.In this episode, you'll discover:Ideas and discussion on how the modern interpretation of the ‘law of attraction' in much of the mainstream wellness industry's teachings is centered around capitalism and has actually created the idea of no longer resonating with interconnectivity.The difference between the idea of mastering life vs. letting life master you.Examples of spiritual bypassing in the mainstream wellness and new age industry's teachings, and how creating a declaration and acknowledgement of our interconnectedness in the universe can help us heal this level of bypassing.Ideas on how the antidote to the mainstream's spiritualization of selfishness lies within reintegrating death rituals and safe spaces for ourselves and our communities to confront our mortality and shadow selves, in order to bring our neurosis (behavior, beliefs) back into the light.How we can sometimes invent challenges or hardships to solve, in order to continue to advance as a human being throughout our lifetime, and how that can really form us in becoming who we are and how we interact and relate to life.And so much more.

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros landed into the scene with their song ‘Home'. It was all over the radio, on soundtracks to films, you still hear it on TV advertisements. It was in 2012 that I asked Jade Castrinos and Alex Ebert from the band in to Take 5. They were wrapping up a huge tour with Mumford & Sons, and made some time to come by and share their songs from the road. Their song list was brilliant, so get ready for a perfect road trip soundtrack. Alabama Shakes - ‘Hold On' JAY-Z - ‘Young Forever {Ft. Mr. Hudson}' Willie Nelson - ‘On the Road Again' The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize?? The Beatles - ‘Two Of Us'

Alex Ebert is best known as the founder and lead singer of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. You have probably heard (and danced to) the song, Home. You may have seen the band perform on late-night TV, or heard them front line at a music festival. Alex also wrote the screenplay to Robert Redford's film, All is Lost, for which he won an Emmy, and also for A Most Violent Year. People have always found it incredibly difficult to pigeonhole Alex or Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Some people try to say it's '70s retro... But no, that doesn't quite fit, nor does indie, or folk, or any of the other labels. In my opinion, that's because Alex is creating, originally and authentically, without imitation. That's what we mean by Radical Brilliance. In this podcast, you'll hear about his creative process, how Alex reaches out into a realm beyond human understanding and brings back little fragments from there, rather like archeology, until an entire skeleton has been assembled and becomes alive.
