As I realised about a third into this episode, where I connect with pop genius Martin Fry of the immortal ABC, you don't really interview Martin Fry but listen to Martin Fry. And that's fine. If you wrote Lexicon of Love, the Sheffield band's classic debut album, I'd shut up and listen to you too. I think there's plenty of insight into that classic record in what follows mind, as well on as the band's origins, their philosophy, the influence of punk on the seismic creativity of the 1980s pop scene, David Bowie… all sorts of good stuff, and all in advance of the band's release of the group's forthcoming live album, Lexicon of Love Live, recorded in their home city in said record's 40th year, which arrives on April 28th on Live Here Now Recordings.

Nous allons nous attarder sur les lettres de l'alphabet présentes en détachées, en majuscules et avec des points dans les noms de tous ces bands. Quelle signification peuvent avoir ces lettres, ces abréviations ? UB40 l'histoire d'un groupe un peu particulier, qui a vu passé en son sein de très nombreux musiciens aux origines très diverses : anglaises, galloises, irlandaises, jamaïcaines, écossaises et yéménites… Un groupe aux influences variées qui va se résumer en 2 lettres et 2 chiffres : UB40 ! En Belgique, TC Matic fait référence à Tjens Couter, duo composé par Arno qui se faisait appeler Arno Tjens à l'époque et son ami le guitariste Paul Decoutere alias Paul Couter. La section " Matic ", quant à elle, est liée au poète surréaliste yougoslave Dusan Matic… Les trois premières lettres de l'alphabet A, B, C c'est efficace, et ça permet d'être bien placé chez les disquaires, c'est le nom que choisirent Martin Fry et ses musiciens après s'être appelés Vice Versa. Pas loin d'ABC nous avons ABBA, A pour Agnetta, B pour Bjorn, le second B pour Benny et le dernier pour Anni-Frid (alias Frida). --- Du lundi au vendredi, Fanny Gillard et Laurent Rieppi vous dévoilent l'univers rock, au travers de thèmes comme ceux de l'éducation, des rockers en prison, les objets de la culture rock, les groupes familiaux et leurs déboires, et bien d'autres, chaque matin dans Coffee on the Rocks à 6h30 et rediffusion à 13h30 dans Lunch Around The Clock.

This week, Pop Screen is warming up its fingers to peruse the lexicon of love with Mantrap, a short film starring ABC - but mostly their lead singer Martin Fry - and directed by Pop Screen's patron saint Julien Temple. Once again, we're joined by Gav Smith from the very fine My Favourite Film podcast, as he takes on his most challenging assignment to date - persuading Graham that early '80s synth pop is good, actually. Along the way, we discuss the film's romantic lead Lisa Vanderpump and her later career on reality TV, the wayward career of the prolific Temple and whether The Fast Show has rendered jazz inherently 'nice'. If this strikes you as a fairly obscure choice of film even for our podcast, you're not wrong - this is the first, and no doubt last, film we'll cover that was originally released on Laserdisc... If you don't want us to have to run away with a touring New Romantic band in order to make ends meet, you can support us on Patreon where you'll also get a plethora of articles about forgotten Asian cinema, classic Doctor Who, bonus episodes of this show and deep dives on the videogame industry.

ABC – "The Lexicon Of Love"

SWR1 Meilensteine - Alben die Geschichte machten

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 20, 2022 62:38

Es ist ein Album über das Scheitern der Liebe. In kaum einem anderen Genre könnte man das Thema vermutlich besser verarbeiten als in dem emotionalen, schönen, kitschig-triefenden Wave. Viele Kritiken aus dem Erscheinungsjahr 1982 feiern das Album, gespickt mit ein bisschen Verwunderung über die Platte. Mitchell Cohen von Creem hat das Album so beschrieben: "Ein Stück prächtigen Kitsches" und dass "das ganze Ding so blumig, so übertrieben und so verdammt eingängig ist – man möchte "The Look Of Love" ein zweites Mal hören, bevor es halb vorbei ist; es ist ein Auflauf von etwa vierzig verschiedenen Pop-Hits und Werbejingles, dass man sich schuldig fühlt, weil man darauf hereingefallen ist." Aber wie es in der Popmusik so üblich ist, gibt es nehmen vielen blumigen Lobeshymnen auch echte harte Kritik. Ken Tucker vom Philadelphia Inquirer schrieb zum Beispiel wenig begeistert: "Zimperliche Tanzmusik, leicht vom Beat und schwer von der Art des schwermütigen Gesangs, den die verweichlichten englischen Rockmusiker häufig mit Leidenschaft verwechseln." Das Album “The Lexicon Of Love” wurde oft als Konzeptalbum über das Scheitern einer Liebe angesehen. Schon der Titel lässt ja ein Konzept dahinter vermuten. Es sind sozusagen verschiedene Abschnitte und Artikel über die Liebe und eben deren Scheitern. Der Bandname ABC passt ja auch zum alphabetisch sortierten Lexikon. Martin Fry hat immer bestritten, dass es ein Konzeptalbum im engeren Sinne sei – trotzdem gib's auf dem Album zumindest eine thematische Stringenz und auch eine Struktur, die nicht zufällig ist. Die Band ABC kommt aus dem nordenglischen Sheffield. Das mag ziemlich abgelegen und weit weg sein, wenn man es von London aus betrachtet, aber es ist eine der größten Städte Englands mit einer guten halben Million Einwohnern. Früher war Sheffield ein Zentrum der britischen Stahlindustrie – quasi das Pendant zur deutschen Stadt “Solingen”. Anfang der 80er liegt die Industrie in Sheffield am Boden und die Stadt ist offiziell in der “ärmsten Region des Landes” – es gibt kaum noch Jobs in der Bergarbeiterstadt. Der Weg aus Sheffield und eben aus der Armut raus führte für einige Menschen über die Musik. Nicht nur für die Jungs von ABC, sondern auch für Musiker wie Joe Cocker, Paul Carrack oder die Rockband Def Leppard – allesamt aus Sheffield. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album “The Lexicon Of Love” wird im Podcast gesprochen: 17:08 Mins – “Show Me” 25:21 Mins – “Poison Arrow” 38:33 Mins – “Tears Are Not Enough” 46:41 Mins – “The Look Of Love (Part One)” 52:07 Mins – “The Look Of Love (Part Four)” 56:39 Mins – “All Of My Heart” __________ Über diese Songs wird außerdem im Podcast gesprochen: 07:59 Mins – “Video Killed The Radio Star” von The Buggles 33:14 Mins – “Theme Of ‘Mantrap'” von ABC __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Martin grew up through the formative late 70's in Sheffield with Martyn – hanging out at the same pubs, writing fanzines while he was studying at Sheffield University. Influenced by both the early Human League and Cabaret Voltaire initially, he became the singer of Vice Versa, and early electropop act, which soon evolved into that rarest of creatures – a fully realised, truly popular modern pop creation – ABC. With the help of Trevor Horn, they created indisputably one of the greatest debut albums of the 80's, possibly all-time. Martin has remained as creative and stylish as ever to this day, and, performing live, has continued to thrill audiences all over the world. Ladies and gentlemen – the King of Cool, Martin Fry…

Honeyroot - Heavy Drops A Flashback Mix By Mr. Turner https://hypeddit.com/track/p7e3lp Honeyroot is an ambient dance collaboration between Glenn Gregory and Keith Lowndes, signed to the independent record label Just Music. The project had its origins in the 1997 album, Skyscraping, by ABC. As ABC was essentially Martin Fry, after the departure of founding member Mark White, Lowndes and fellow Sheffield native Gregory of Heaven 17, were brought in for co-songwriting duties on the album. Lowndes and Gregory's first album, Sound Echo Location, was released in the UK and Australia in 2003 and in the US in 2004.[1] Honeyroot reached the UK Singles Chart in May 2005 with their ambient cover version of the Joy Division song, "Love Will Tear Us Apart", which also appeared in the Scottish film, Red Road. 2006 saw an online only release entitled "EP1". The Sun Will Come (2007) featured two singles, the double A-sided, "Nobody Loves You (The Way I Do)" b/w "Heavy Drops" and "Where I Belong". Though known primarily as the front man for Heaven 17, Glenn Gregory sings on just two tracks on The Sun Will Come; leaving remaining vocal duties to a variety of female singers including Briony Greenhill ("Nobody Loves You"), Kim Richey, Kerry Shaw, Elsie Wooley and Lindsay Crisp.

WORUM ES IN DIESER FOLGE GEHT … Hallo und ein herzliches Willkommen zum Game Changer-Podcast. Der Podcast für deinen Erfolg mit wirksamen Impulsen, spannenden Inspirationen, erkenntnissreichen Interviews und persönlichen Game Changern, die DICH in die Umsetzung bringen. Und das Ganze von und mit Torsten Koerting. Diese Podcast-Folge möchte ich einem neuen Service oder Produkt widmen, das der oder die eine oder andere vielleicht schon wahrgenommen hat. Ich werde immer häufiger darauf angesprochen. Deswegen habe ich mir gedacht, ich packe das einfach mal in eine Podcast-Folge und für alle, die es interessiert, die dürfen zuhören. Für alle, die sagen: „Ne, ist nix für mich“, können gleich die Podcast-Folge überspringen. Und zwar geht es darum, dass viele ja wissen, dass ich für Umsetzung stehe, für Massive Action, für das Kreieren von Ergebnissen, die dich in die Lage versetzen, deine grandiose Seele für dich und andere zu leben, und erlebbar zu machen. Und dabei unterstütze ich Organisationen ihr nächstes Level zu erreichen, transformiere Teams, initiiere Projekte, moderiere und facilitiere vieles im Bereich der Umsetzung und Veränderungsprozesse, sodass das Unternehmen, die Abteilung, das Team weiterkommt. Und natürlich - auf der anderen Seite - begleite ich die Trainer, die Coaches, die Berater, die Speaker, die Experten da draußen in die Kraft zu kommen, die Umsetzungspower auf die Straße zu kriegen und damit grandiose Ergebnisse zu erreichen, die wiederum in ihrem Kontext dann jeweils ihre Zielgruppe bereichern und neue Impulse setzen. Im Rahmen dieses Wirkens und im Rahmen dieser Umsetzung ist in den letzten Jahren bei mir – ich sag das immer wieder – viel entstanden und meine Transformation lag jetzt darin, nicht nur diese Power, diese Umsetzungspower auf mich selbst wirken zu lassen und hier meine Bücherschränke voller werden zu lassen, mit Büchern, Hörbüchern und anderem Zeugs, sondern ich diese Kraft auf die Menschen da draußen ausrichte. Auf die Menschen, die sich mir zugänglich machen und die ihre Ziele erreichen möchten, um damit wiederum andere zu inspirieren und andere weiterzubringen. Und eins dieser Produkte, welches daraus in den letzten Monaten entstanden ist, dass ich mit Trainern, Coaches, Beratern und Speakern hier in meinem Keller, beziehungsweise an anderer Stelle ihr ganz persönliches Hörbuch aufnehme, produziere und strukturiere. Da ich immer wieder angesprochen werde und gesagt bekomme:„Mensch, Torsten, machst du jetzt nur noch Hörbücher? Was ist denn mit dir los? Ja, du hast vielleicht äh eine gute Stimme und die resoniert auch und die macht was mit einem, aber dass du jetzt Hörbücher produzierst, wie passt das denn dazu? Und wie funktioniert das überhaupt?" Weil es eine komplette Transformation dessen ist, was eigentlich am Markt passiert. Ihr müsst euch das so vorstellen, dass in der Buchbranche erst das Buch geschrieben wird. Das dauert im Normalfall in der Buch-Szene zwischen neun und 15 Monaten von der Idee, beziehungsweise vom ersten Fingerstrich, bis das Buch dann fertig produziert in den Regalen steht, und bei den einzelnen Verlagen gelistet ist. Und dann im Nachgang überlegt man sich als Autor: Mensch, es wäre ja genial, das Buch auch als Hörbuch zu vertonen. Und man macht sich dann auf die Suche nach einem professionellen Sprecher, und dieser Sprecher dann das Buch abliest und daraus das Hörbuch entsteht. Und diesen Prozess habe ich umgedreht. Weil ich verstanden habe, sowohl für mich selbst, als auch viele andere Experten dort draußen, dass es vielen einfacher fällt, über ihre Expertise, über ihre Substanz, über das, was sie bei anderen Menschen erreichen wollen, das, was sie vermitteln wollen an Inhalten, an Impulsen und an Inspiration zu sprechen. Ein Beispiel dafür ist, den ich auch häufiger hier im Podcast schon erwähnt habe, unser Freund Martin Fry. Martin Fry steht im Guinness-Buch der Rekorde. Er hat die 7 Summits bestiegen, also den höchsten Berg eines jeden Kontinents. Und das haben zwar vierhundert Menschen schon vor ihm versucht, das macht ihn schon außergewöhnlich, aber er hat dann noch einen draufgepackt und hat nämlich die 7 Weltmeere durchsegelt. Und die sieben Weltmeere zu durchsegeln, haben auch ein paar schon geschafft. Nur beides in Kombination eben nur einer und das ist der Martin Fry. Und deswegen steht der im Guinness-Buch. So und Martin hat dieses ganze vor mehreren Jahren abgeschlossen und, ja, ist seitdem als Speaker in Amerika unterwegs, und bekommt teilweise für eine Keynote 25.000 Dollar. Er hat seine eigene Firma, ist viel in Corporates unterwegs, um dort Menschen zu helfen, sich zu entwickeln, und hat dort eigene Workshop-Formate und vieles, vieles mehr mit seinem Team entwickelt. Und er schreibt seit sechs Jahren ein Buch und hat sich einen grandiosen Ghostwriter zu eigen gemacht. Den Ghostwriter von Steve Covey „7 Habits of Highly Effective People“. Nur, seit fünf Jahren kommt halt trotzdem nix bei rum. Und mit Martin waren wir letztes Jahr zu viert auf den John Muir Trail und sind 17 Tage gewandert. Martin hat uns vor anderthalb Jahren in in den Alpen besucht. Wir waren dort zwei Wochen unterwegs, sind zum einen, ja, im Grindelwald auf den Trails gelaufen, beziehungsweise gemeinsam auf den Mönch geklettert. Und er war auch bei der Alpen X, bei unserem Nature-Leadership-Experience-Format letztes Jahr dabei. Dort hat man viel Zeit zu sprechen und es dreht sich immer wieder um dieselben Themen, nämlich: Wie kann er seine Erkenntnisse, die er während dieser 13-jährigen Expedition, darf man schon sagen, oder dieses 13-jährigen Projektes, nämlich die 7 Summits zu besteigen und die 7 Seas zu durchsegeln, wie kriege ich das an andere Menschen transportiert und wie schreibe ich ein Buch? Und seit sechs Jahren schreibt er dieses Buch. Er hat selbst das iPad mit auf dem John Muir Trail gehabt, aber ganz wenige Zeilen geschrieben, weil er lieber auf kleine Berge raufgerannt ist oder am Fluss oder am See geangelt hat. So und nach der Alpen X begab es sich, dass er drei Tage noch hier in Deutschland war, um dann nach Nepal aufzubrechen, um dort irgend so einen Siebenhalbtausender zu besteigen. Und in diesen drei Tagen hab ich ihn fast schon gezwungen bei mir hier mal einen Tag vorbeizukommen und sich gemeinsam mit mir in meinen Keller zu setzen, um diese ganzen Inhalte, die wir aus diesen Tagen der Gemeinsamkeit, ja, besprochen haben, aus ihm rauszuholen, um daraus ein Hörbuch zu machen. Ich hab uns nicht nur hier in den Keller gesetzt, sondern ich habe einen Kameramann besorgt, der mit drei Kameras hier einen riesen Setting aufgebaut hat, um, ja, zum einen dafür zu sorgen, dass wir hier einen Rahmen haben, der das überhaupt ermöglicht, zum Zweiten, dass Martin sich in diesen Rahmen hineinversetzt, also aus dem Martin sich gar nicht mehr rausfinden kann, weil ganz viele Commitments dran stehen, diesen Tag zu reservieren, Kameramann, mich und, und, und. To make a long story short: Er war dann hier und wir haben dann drei Stunden an der Struktur gearbeitet, sind über Flipchart und Flipchart drüber, haben überlegt, wie wir die Inhalte, die wir mal zusammengesammelt haben, strukturieren. Ja und dann haben wir uns von 14 bis 22 Uhr in den Keller gesetzt und haben 7 Stunden Interviews geführt. Und aus diesen sieben Stunden sind fünfeinhalb Stunden grandioses Material entstanden, welches nun in ein Hörbuch überführt wurde, das jetzt in Amerika publiziert wird. Worin all seine Kerninhalten und Schlüsselinhalte als Hörbuch nachvollziehbar, für allen Menschen die sich dies zugänglich machen möchten, beinhaltet sind. Und dieser Impuls, der war im letzten Jahr, also im September 2019. Und wir haben das dann im Oktober, November weiter abgemischt. Das hat dazu geführt, dass ich gesagt hab: „Mensch, ich bin irgendwie in der Lage, Themen zu strukturieren.“ Das war jetzt nix Neues für mich. Ich bin in der Lage, ein Interview zu führen. Und wenn ich in der Lage bin, ein Interview zu führen, wo ich fünf Prozent Redeanteil hab und der Interviewpartner 95 Prozent, umso besser! Denn da entstehen diese Inhalte. Und daraus ist dieses Produkt „Dein Hörbuch“ entstanden. Ich habe danach Menschen hier bei mir in den Keller eingeladen, beziehungsweise, sie haben sich selbst eingeladen. Menschen aus meinem engeren Umfeld, ob das der Kerim Kakmaci ist, ein ganz besonderer Speaker hier in Deutschland, der für das Thema Mut steht, … bei Tobias Beck, der Masterclass of Personality auf der Bühne stand, bei Gedankentanken auf der Bühne steht, sechsmal im Jahr sein zweitägiges „Lebe mutig“- Event macht, mit immer zwischen 70 und 120 Teilnehmern. Dann haben wir den Lorenzo Scibetta, auch ein Speaker-Kollege, der Emotional Public Speaking in die Öffentlichkeit bringt und Leader in die Lage versetzt, durch Emotion, durch Geschichten zu berühren und dadurch andere Menschen zu inspirieren. Und das macht er in einer ganz besonderen Art, nämlich der Art des Speakens und der Musik. Er ist leidenschaftlicher Gitarrenspieler, Singer, Songwriter und bringt beides zusammen auf die Bühne. Oder der Nico Gundlach mit seinem Hörbuch „Pitch Perfect“, der ein ganz neue Substanz für sich ermöglicht hat, indem er nämlich anderen Menschen dabei zu hilft, ihren Pitch, ihren Angebotsprozess in der Form so zu präsentieren, zu zelebrieren, dass der Kunde gar keine andere Möglichkeit hat als zu kaufen. Und er hat 2019 eine Pitch-Quote gehabt von hundert Prozent. Und er hat eine Agentur mit fünfzig, sechzig Mitarbeitern und da sind Pitches dabei, die um die paar tausend Euro gehen, aber auch Pitches, die siebenstellig sind. Also das heißt, über eine Millionen Euro. Wir haben auch ein fünfeinhalbstündiges Hörbuch aufgenommen, in dem er seine gesamten Tipps und Tricks, wie machst du deinen Pitch grandios, wie machst du dein Angebot grandios und wie sorgst du dafür, dass der Kunde kauft, ja, in ein Hörbuch gepackt. Und das wird etwas sein, was dieses Jahr noch ganz andere Wellen schlagen wird. Dann haben wir die Jessica Lackner hier gehabt. Die Jessica Lackner steht dafür, aus Kunden und Mitarbeitern nicht nur Fans, sondern Raving Fans zu machen. Und dort darfst du live erleben, was es heißt, wenn du dich um deine Mitarbeiter kümmerst, dann kümmern die sich um deine Kunden und du musst dich nicht mehr um deine Kunden kümmern. Also das Richard-Branson-Konzept oder die Richard-Branson-Botschaft, der immer sagt: „Kümmere dich nicht um deine Kunden, sondern kümmere dich um deine Mitarbeiter“. Weil wenn du dich um die kümmerst, dann werden die sich um ihre Kunden kümmern. Ja und so hat sich hier schon fast einer mit dem anderen die Klinke in die Hand gegeben und ich habe gesagt: „Damn Shit, irgendwie finden die das alle geil.“ Es kommt an so 'nem Tag was Grandioses bei raus. Und daraus ist dieses Produkt „Dein Hörbuch“ entstanden. Und seitdem, ich glaube, habe ich mittlerweile knapp zehn Hörbücher produziert und professionell abmischen lassen. Und, ja, mitunter ist es Ziel dieses Podcasts, euch nicht nur zu erzählen, wer da jetzt hier alles schon durchgegangen ist und was da auch alles möglich ist, sondern euch auch mal 'nen bisschen oder dir mal 'nen bisschen über dieses Konzept zu erzählen. Also, das Ziel ist, Experten, Trainer, Coaches, Berater, Speaker, die eine Substanz haben, die inhaltlich ein Fundament haben, ein neues Format zu ermöglichen, in drei, vier Stunden ein drei-, vierstündiges Hörbuch zu produzieren. Mit ihnen gemeinsam ihr Wissen zu strukturieren, und dann in einem sehr strukturiert, geführten Interview dieses Wissen aus ihnen raus zu ziehen, um daraus dann das Hörbuch zu produzieren. Und das Ganze passiert innerhalb eines Tages. Das heißt, wir sind einem Tag entweder hier bei mir in meinem Office oder bei dem einzelnen Kunden. Und mit einem Vorbereitungsprozess, der auch ganz bestimmte Fragen nach Zielgruppe, nach Titel des Buches, nach den Inhalten des Buches und, und, und, … und auch einer entsprechenden Struktur den Kunden schon mal darauf einstimmt, passiert an dem Tag, dass innerhalb von eins, zwei, drei Stunden diese Inhalte durch uns beide, also durch den Experten und durch mich so strukturiert werden, dass wir daraus eine Struktur erarbeiten, die dann am Ende ein drei- bis vierstündiges Hörbuch ausmacht. Und den Zuhörer auf eine Reise mitnimmt, die, ja, ihn an einem roten Faden entlanggehen lässt. So und dieser Tag führt dazu, dass als Endergebnis entweder einen drei- bis vierstündiges Hörbuch entsteht als MP3, du im Idealfall aber auch schon Erkenntnisse im Rahmen deiner Inhalte bekommst und auch vielleicht der eine oder andere Impuls noch mal kommt, wie diese so zu strukturieren sind, damit sie für andere zugänglich gemacht werden können. Und wir werden natürlich nebenbei noch besprechen, wie du diese Inhalte, das Hörbuch dann in deine Produktrutsche, Produkttreppe, je nachdem, wie du es nennst, miteingefügt werden kann und welche Marketingoptionen es gibt, dieses Hörbuch nach außen hin zu vermarkten und sichtbar zu machen. Und das kann bis dahin gehen, dass du die Verantwortung für alles an mich überträgst, nämlich inklusive Verpackung, inklusive Produktion von vielleicht tausend CDs, mit 'ner Vierfach-CD-Box und, und, und. Also das kann wirklich gehen von: wir machen 'nen MP4 zusammen, drei-, vierstündiges Hörbuch, was du dann auch ein paar Tage später nach diesem Tag hier dann schon in den Händen hältst, beziehungsweise dir runterladen kannst. Bis hin dazu, dass die gesamte Produktion, die Vermarktung dann komplett an mich abgegeben wird. Wie ist das möglich? Zum einen habe ich die Substanz und die Kompetenz, das umzusetzen. Und zum anderen habe ich im Hintergrund ein Team, was für mich auch meine ganzen Themen macht, und diese Kette der Wertschöpfung kannst du dann genauso mitnutzen. Und da diese Supply Chain so weit getrimmt ist, dass sie funktioniert, kann ich sie auch ohne weiteres für solche Produkte nutzen und hernehmen. Also, das darfst du dir so vorstellen: es gibt einen Fünf-Schritte-Masterplan, wie du in der Lage bist, mit mir gemeinsam dieses Hörbuch zu kreieren. Und der Schritt Nummer 1 ist, dass wir erst mal das Thema festlegen. Das machen wir gemeinsam in einem Vorgespräch, auf das du dich bewerben darfst. Weil ich nur zwei Hörbücher pro Monat mache. Zu mehr bin ich nicht in der Lage, weil ich ja noch viele andere Kunden und ganz andere Dinge zu tun habe. Und das Hörbuch ist mehr so 'nen Hobby von mir. Und in diesem Bewerbungsgespräch oder in diesem Umsetzungsgespräch sprechen wir darüber, welches Thema du nach vorne bringen möchtest. Ich überprüfe, was es braucht, damit dieser Tag gelingt, und ich validiere für mich, ob du die Substanz und auch das Potenzial hast, dieses Hörbuch an diesem Tag zu kreieren. Und deswegen richtet sich dieses Angebot eben fast ausschließlich an Trainer, Coaches, Berater, Speaker und Experten, die schon auf Bühnen gesprochen haben, die über ihre Themen leidenschaftlich sprechen können und die sich diese Substanz schon in einer ganz anderen Form ermöglicht haben und eben jetzt in Anführungszeichen nur noch ein Hörbuch produzieren möchten. Es ist nicht für die, die noch unsicher in ihren Themen sind, die mit der Substanz noch ein bisschen schwanger gehen, unsicher sind. Auch das können wir natürlich in so einem Gespräch klären, aber für mich validiere ich dann, ob wir gemeinsam in der Lage sind, das wirklich auch an einem Tag entsprechend umzusetzen. Also wir werden das Thema gemeinsam definieren. Wir werden das Thema durchstrukturieren. Du siehst auf der Website, die ich dann auch in die Shownotes schreibe, www.torstenkoerting.com/dein-hoerbuch auch diverse Beispiele und Fotos, wie das dann aussieht mit dieser Struktur. Also wir erarbeiten eine Struktur, die du dir vorstellen darfst wie so eine Art Inhaltsverzeichnis (Schritt #2) - von der Einführung, deine Story, wie bist du da hingekommen, wo du heute stehst, was ist dein Warum, was inspiriert dich, was ist deine intrinsische Motivation, deine Leidenschaft, deine Berufung, die du nach draußen erlebbar machen möchtest. Sodass wir darüber so 'nen bisschen auch den Proof of Concept und eine Autorität aufbauen, die deine Hörer in die Lage versetzen, dass sie verstehen und sagen: „Ja, das ist derjenige oder diejenige, mit dem ich zusammenarbeiten möchte.“ Und die Strukturelemente gehen dann weiter in deine vielleicht spezifischen Modelle, die du hast, die wir demaskieren werden, die du beschreiben darfst, als auch dann möglicherweise in ganz besondere inhaltliche Themen. Aber auch die Geschichten, die du zu erzählen hast, von deinen Kunden oder von dir selbst, die deine Inhalte noch mal in einer ganz anderen Form nahbar machen. Ja und wenn wir das Thema haben und die Struktur, dann führen wir das Interview (Schritt # 3). Und dieses Interview führen wir ganz, ich sage mal, ganz hart an der Struktur entlang. Ich werde das Interview so führen und dich entlangführen, dass wir zum einen die zeitlichen Marken einhalten, dass wir Kapitel haben, die sich in dem Rahmen bewegen, wie du dir das wünschst und wie wir es auch vorher in der Struktur festgelegt haben. Du kannst dich dann voll auf deine Inhalte und auf dich selbst einlassen und musst nicht nach der Zeit gucken, sondern antwortest einfach auf Fragen. Und ich hab‘s Eingangs schon gesagt, mit einem Redeanteil von 95 Prozent, was natürlich notwendig ist, um daraus das wunderbare Hörbuch abzumischen. Diese 95 Prozent sollen dir auch zugestehen, so dass du du nur auf meine Fragen antworten musst, die natürlich darauf aufsetzen, was wir am Vormittag im Rahmen der Struktur erarbeitet haben. Ja, dann wählen wir gemeinsam eine Musik (Schritt #4) aus, die in der Anmoderation des Hörbuchs zu hören sein wird. Die die Übergänge der einzelnen Kapitel mit unterstützt und die entweder eine Musik ist, die du dir schon zugänglich gemacht hast, oder wir finden sie auf einer der Musikportale - die natürlich zu lizenzieren sind. Die Musik- Lizenz (das ist auch nicht viel Geld) lassen wir dann später in das entsprechende Hörbuch mit einfließe. Ja, dann wird das Ganze von einem Profi abgemischt. Auch jemanden aus meinem Netzwerk, der sich die Rohdateien, die wir kreiert haben, auf Basis des Interviews zu eigen macht, zugänglich macht und dann dieses Hörbuch professionell abmischt. Und dann werden wir natürlich an diesem Tag auch noch Zeit haben. Und dieser Tag dauert so lang, wie er dauert. Denn mein Ziel ist, zum einen die Struktur, das Thema noch mal scharf zu kriegen, das Interview zu führen, und dann natürlich, wie ich jetzt sagen wollte, die nächsten Schritte, die Strategie zu besprechen. Wie bettet sich denn dieses Hörbuch in deine Produktrutsche ein (Schritt #5)? Wie kannst du dieses Hörbuch zu Marketingzwecken nutzen? Wie kann es dir ermöglichen, dir neue Zielgruppen zu eröffnen? Wie kannst du sichtbarer dadurch werden? Hast du vielleicht die Möglichkeit, auf Events, auf denen du sprichst, Postkarten auszulegen, die dann auf das Hörbuch hinweisen. Du kannst Teilnehmern von deinen Workshops und von deinen Speakings das Angebot machen, sich dieses Hörbuch als Download zugänglich zu machen. Ob du es verschenkst oder an deinem Verkaufsstand verkaufen lässt, … all das ist möglich. Und das werden wir dann in den entsprechenden nächsten Schritten besprechen. Ja, wie darfst du dir das vorstellen, … technisch? Auch da findest du Impressionen auf der Dein-Hörbuch-Seite. Und diese technische, ja, dieses technische Umfeld, damit du dich da mal ein bisschen drauf einlassen kannst, siehst du dort auf ein paar Fotos. Und es ist nichts, worum du dich kümmern musst, sondern es ist alles da, es ist alles so professionell hier organisiert, dass du dich fallen lassen kannst und wir gemeinsam in den Flow kommen, an diesem Tag wirklich deine Ergebnisse zu produzieren und das möglich zu machen, was du dir als Ergebnis wünschst. Das soweit zum Produkt und deinem Hörbuch. Und ich darf sagen, für die nächsten zwei, drei Monate bin ich da schon ausgebucht. Ich mache nur zwei Hörbücher im Monat, da ich, wie gesagt, noch viele andere Themen habe und das Hörbuch wirklich nur ein Hobby ist, und ich im Kern meinen Mentees zur Verfügung stehe, die ich ohnehin auch über einen längeren Zeitraum begleite. Und natürlich auch für Menschen, die neu in unser Umfeld rutschen, die uns mal kennenlernen möchten, beziehungsweise, die halt einfach ihr Hörbuch haben möchten. Und dadurch, dass die Zeit ein bisschen begrenzt ist, und es nicht mein Hauptbusiness ist, Hörbücher aufzunehmen, darfst du dich für dein Hörbuch bewerben. Und das kannst du gerne machen unter: www.torstenkoerting.com/dein-hoerbuch Dort siehst du noch weiterführende Informationen zu diesem Service, zu diesem Produkt. Und wenn du sagst, das ist stimmig für mich, das passt für mich, da hab ich Bock drauf, mal so richtig reinzugehen und das mal auszuprobieren, oder auch einfach mal nur 'nen Gespräch mit mir zu führen, dann kannst du dich auch über diese Website für dieses Strategiegespräch, für dieses Umsetzungsgespräch, für dieses Hörbuchumsetzungsgespräch bewerben. Du füllst ein paar Fragen aus, die dich auch schon mal inhaltlich zum Denken anregen und mir ein bisschen die Möglichkeit geben, zu verstehen, wo du stehst, was du brauchst, und wo du hinwillst. Ja und dann sprechen wir zusammen und dann schauen wir, was passiert. Ja, das mal hier an dieser Stelle demaskiert, wie dieser Prozess abläuft, wie die ganze Idee entstanden ist mit ‚Dein Hörbuch‘ und … wie sich das Ganze auch in mein Portfolio entsprechend einbettet. Und nun freue ich mich darauf, wenn du, ja, einfach dich da weiter umtust, wenn das was für dich ist, und wir dann vielleicht in naher oder fernerer Zukunft, dann, wenn es für dich passt, mal ins Gespräch kommen und genau das uns beide und gemeinsam ermöglichen. Ich freu mich riesig drauf, hab viel Spaß dabei, euch da auch mal ein bisschen umzutun. Ihr findet auch auf der Website Links zu Hörbüchern, die schon fertig, nicht nur produziert, sondern auch publiziert sind. Das liegt natürlich dann immer an dem einen Experten oder an demjenigen, der das Hörbuch in Auftrag gegeben hat, um da auch den richtigen Weg und den richtigen Zeitpunkt zu finden, es zu veröffentlichen. Und diese Links findet ihr alle auf der Website. Und ich freu mich drauf, wenn wir da gemeinsam ins Gespräch kommen und vielleicht dein Hörbuch gemeinsam, strukturieren, professionell abmischen und dann publizieren. Und damit viele andere Menschen inspirieren, und vielleicht den ein oder anderen Schritt weiterbringen. Liebe Grüße, der Torsten. Und ich freu mich auf dich. Bis bald.

When we spoke to Tom Cochrane in 1991, “Life Is A Highway” was just about to make him a superstar. Tom talks about being a songwriter as opposed to a rock star and why the song “Lunatic Fringe” was a political song for him (and still resonates today). Also, a 1982 interview with Martin Fry of ABC as their dance classic “The Lexicon Of Love” was defining the music of the ‘80s. Plus, the legendary BB King reflects on his achievements in a 1977 chat. And Christopher and Tom introduce a new segment called “They Shoulda Known Better” – bad decisions by famous musicians, who should have known better! (David Lee Roth, are you listening?)

Episode 51: ABC - How to Be a...Zillionaire! (1985) Part 1 Even with fifty episodes now under their belts, Brian and Sarah still have plenty of "new old" albums they want to talk about. But how to decide on the next one? Well, Martin Fry of ABC turned 60 on March 9, so it seems like a good time to take a look at a classic ABC album. The one they choose is not the seminal debut album, "The Lexicon of Love," but the band's third effort, "How to Be a...Zillionaire!," released in 1985. Part 1 - Album History This album marked yet another departure in both sound and style for ABC. Sarah explains how the album came to be produced by Martin Fry and Mark White, and she tells the story of the audition process for new band members. Both she and Brian then talk about how and why the new members were ultimately selected. The other notable aspect of this era of ABC was the cartoon imagery. Sarah explains where that originated, and Brian adds to the story with some information he gleaned from friend of the show Andrew Dineley's article in Classic Pop magazine. Both hosts also share reviews of the album and talk about how the band's new image was received at the time. Part 2 - Personal History Sarah goes first with her personal history and, in a rare occurrence, announces that she owned this album before Brian did. This actually puzzles Brian somewhat, because he was a fan of two of the singles and bought the 12-inch single for one of the songs. Sarah explains the circumstances that led to her owning the cassette, and she also shares a story which takes place at a church retreat but involves some of the non-church-friendly lyrics found on the album. Part 3 - Track by Track Due to Brian being under the weather during the show preparation, our hosts don't get too far in their look at Side One; only the first two tracks are discussed. But Brian's weakened state doesn't prevent him from providing insightful comments and interesting information about the music, the lyrics, and the one video. Sarah also shares some facts and opinions, both her own and from other sources, and one comment from a review causes Brian to temporarily slip into James Bond podcast mode again-- for which he seems eerily well-prepared. Sarah eventually brings him back to the topic at hand, and they end this episode after discussing "Be Near Me."

Tony James Shevlin Interview

The Slacker Morning Show

Play Episode Listen Later May 6, 2016 8:04

“Affable and unpretentious” would sum up Tony James Shevlin perfectly, yet this UK-based Anglo-Irish musician has a musical pedigree that would have gone to a lesser man's head. It's not often you'll have a solo guitarist playing a small venue who can introduce his next song and casually mention “this was the International Anthem of Peace chosen by Amnesty International” or “I wrote this one for REM”. However, as he starts to play, the tune and lyrics have that rare quality of true originality and you wonder why you've never heard of this singer-songwriter before. Tony's been a professional musician for most of his adult life, and has performed around the world, from Europe to Russia, Africa, America, the Middle East, Australia… in fact it would be quicker for him to tell you where he hasn't been. In between songs he'll tell you of times spent in a cell with Shane McGowan singing in his ear or some of his many other tales from a life spent in music. On his travels, he's played with top flight musicians such as Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello, Neil Finn, Sheryl Crow), Mike Casswell (Brian May Band, Cozy Powell Band), Bruce Thomas (Elvis Costello, Suzanne Vega), Justin Hildreth (Joan Armatrading, Thomas Dolby), Tim Bye (Tony Hadley, Martin Fry) and Spy Austin (Desmond Dekker, Style Council). He's also recorded with producers such as Colin Fairley (The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Elvis Costello, The Bluebells), Robin Millar (Sade, David Gray) and Jim Abbiss (Kasabian, Adele, Arctic Monkeys). Tony's work has been featured on national ad campaigns (for BT), recorded at BBC's Maida Vale Studios, performed at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, and played on BBC Radio 5 Live. Dues, as they say, have been paid. Tony chats with Slacker.

For awhile I had a pro account with much more bandwidth, but I couldn't justify the cost with my time limitations over the past three years. That said, I also don't like fans and followers to be cock-blocked for weeks on end by bandwidth overages. Right now, I have to be satisfied with a free account, but I didn't anticipate using up my bandwidth three days after the reset date each month. It's a good problem to have, but still a problem. Anyway, I'll keep you all in the loop should things change. For now, I guess, circle the 24th of each month on your calendar to remind yourself to grab these episodes when you can before my 15 gigs of bandwidth per month evaporates! Thanks to each and every one of you for tuning in. It really makes a guy feel good. Notes and other random things: Alright! It's 3 hours to dawn, I've got a full bowl of cereal, half a glass of water, it's dark and I'm making a podcast. Hit it! This sassy little number contains ABCs and OMDs, Counterfeits and Camouflages, Boxcars and Beloveds, something "vicious", something "new" and even a double DM! Happy Listening! Okay, so like any normal testosterone-fueled male member of the species I'm a competitive guy, my own worst critic and I can't stand giving a less-than-competent effort in whatever it is I choose to undertake. That said, I do read comments and check reviews with regard to my 'casts to make sure I'm living up to some realistic level of excellence. For the most part, I've been thrilled that this insignificant little program I assemble in my basement has brought so much joy to so many of you. I try to be honest and forthright in my write-ups for my sake, for your sake, for band's sake, for God's sake. Most of what I write is knowledge I've gleaned over the years from being a fan, from reading music mags, from collecting umpteen thousands of records and reading umpteen thousands of liner notes on the bands I feature here. Often, however, I look up artists to confirm or deny stuff I thought I'd read, thought I'd heard, figured I'd seen or otherwise dreamed. Most importantly, I try to get it right. But I don't always. ...Which brings me to the first band I'd like to mention here: Counterfeit. In episode #23, I included Lee McFadden and Co.'s song "The Good Samaritan" At the time, it was a new find for me, one I discovered on a compilation I had just purchased. Until that point I knew nothing of the band and had a difficult time finding much information on them. I jumped to the conclusion that the song I possessed was probably their only release. Thankfully, a kind listener made a comment to the contrary. He wrote: "In fact there is a three-track EP of "The Good Samaritan" that was released a couple of years ago. Myself and the other two members are still in contact and work together occasionally on music." - Lee McFadden. Holy S#!+, Lee McFadden just wrote to tell me I'm full of crap. That's so COOL! Anyway, thanks to Mr. McFadden for correcting my error. I thought it appropriate to let you all know there is more to the band than just one song. I also figured that by using Lee's comment as part of my write-up it would give me another chance to feature the excellent track here. So, back to the "my own worst critic" comment a moment ago. One of the things about this podcast that is endearing/aggravating is that it's a live mix. That is, I hit record and go for an hour or more - typically 15 songs. As you can imagine, things can sometimes go wrong when performing live, especially at 3 in the morning when I recorded this one. Some errors are bad enough I scrap the whole thing and start over. Sometimes, I just accept things like variances in recording levels or slightly mismatched beats because it's too time-consuming to spend an hour or more redoing an entire 'cast for small inconsistencies, especially when you're using cheap, finicky mixing equipment as I do. In the case of this podcast it turns out two of the tracks here had questionable endings. The first, Book Of Love's "I Touch Roses" mix had a repeated phrase for the last 30 seconds that sounded as if the track were skipping. Of course, I remembered that at the last possible moment and quickly began mixing it out. So, if it sounds like an unnatural point at which to fade in/fade out, it is. And now you know why. I'd say Daniel Miller should be flogged for ending the track in that way, but how can I possibly stay angry at the fellow who founded Mute Records? I forgive you Daniel. Just don't do it again! In case you were wondering about the other track with the weird ending it was 900 Hours by Boxcar. Thankfully, the first gaffe reminded me to avoid a second. I'd like to spend a moment to write about Belouis Some. Frankly, I could spend a day debating the correct pronunciation of Neville Keighley's alter-ego ... but I won't. Just know that all the variants I've encountered rank right up there with bands like INXS, Cetu Javu, EBN-OZN and others whose names were all butchered during their infancy. (C'mon ... admit it. You called them "Inks" the first time you saw their record in the storefront window. You know you did!) Anyway, the track "Animal Magic" was released in 1987 on Belouis Some's self-titled album, two years after the band found chart success UK and stateside with the songs "Imagination" and "Some People". Those songs led to opening gigs for Nik Kershaw and Frankie Goes To Hollywood during their heyday in 1985 and a track called "Round Round" which appeared on the Pretty In Pink soundtrack. The soundtrack is notable for two things: it's association with a John Hughes film and for being killer back when soundtracks were mostly filler. (That rhymes!) As an interesting side note: Nik Kershaw's song "Wouldn't It Be Good" also appeared on the Pretty In Pink soundtrack as a cover version by Danny Hutton Hitters. Belouis Some's "Some People" would also surface on a Swatch commercial circa 1986. Australia had its share of good rock music in the 80s. Men At Work, INXS (however you pronounce them) and Midnight Oil represent just a few of the names. But as club culture began to consume record racks in the mid-80s, fledgling bands began to dabble in electronics, shifting their focus from guitar-infused pub rock to synth-based dance music. Brisbane's Boxcar were one of those bands that gained prominence world-wide. But old pub-rock habits die-hard and the band had a difficult time of things even in their home country where they were often met by a chorus of boo-birds during live performances. The group was also ridiculed for being too derivative of established artists like New Order (whom they toured with at the turn of the 90s.) Thanks in part to producer Robert Racic, who had worked with Severed Heads (also an Aussie electronic band) and Single Gun Theory among others, Boxcar's first full-length release "Vertigo", issued in 1990, was praised by critics for it's sophisticated electronic sound. Tracks like "Freemason", which charted at #8 on the Billboard Dance Chart and "Gas Stop" brought the group some recognition outside Australia. But despite support gigs for Depeche Mode, Erasure, The Pet Shop Boys and the aforementioned New Order, the band was never really able to gain much traction and after two more albums, "Revision" in 1992 and "Algorhythm" in 1994, the band's output and live dates began to ebb even though they never officially called it quits. ABC were like the cool kids in high school that everyone wanted to be like. They had the swankiest clothes, the hippest hair cuts, listened to the coolest music and seemed to always have their finger on the pulse of whatever the "it" thing was to do at the time ... at least until the 20-year reunion rolled around and you saw them wearing the same clothes and sporting the same haircuts, albeit with much less hair and carrying around 50 extra pounds and you realized there had been little personal growth there. The band's roots grew from a band called Vice Versa. Both guitarist and synthesizer player, Mark White, and saxophonist, Stephen Singleton, were members of that group and are notable for their first ever gig being the opening act for Wire. (Not a bad way to kick off a career). After the release of an EP called "Music 4", future ABC singer Martin Fry, at the time editor of his own fanzine called Modern Drugs, interviewed the band. Shortly thereafter, they asked him to join. From the start, the band were pretty set on making 100% machine-made music. Having mega-producer Trevor Horn of The Buggles Fame, a guy affectionately nicknamed, "The Man Who Invented The Eighties" in your corner can certainly help chart a solid course for success. And did it ever. The first album, "Lexicon Of Love", went #1 in the UK, spawned innumerable imitators, featured great songs like "Look Of Love", "Poison Arrow", "Tears Are Not Enough", "Date Stamp" and others, and should be on a short list of the best albums from start to finish to come out of the 80s. From there, however, the band never ventured far from their original song-writing formula and were unable, despite some hits here and there, to duplicate the immense success of "Lexicon". In ABCs defense, not many bands could. Further, the group continued to splinter, losing members as the years went on. Drummer David Palmer left to join Yellow Magic Orchestra shortly after "Lexicon" was released. Stephen Singleton left in 1984. Remaining members Fry and White then recruited Fiona Russell-Powell (known as Eden) and David Yarritu to mitigate the departures of Palmer and Singleton. That line-up produced their biggest hit stateside with "Be Near Me". Mid-1987, ABC's album Alphabet City spawned the Top 10 hit "When Smokey Sings", a tribute to the great Motown singer, Smokey Robinson. Interestingly, Smokey was in the midst of a career resurgence for a new generation of fans and was himself firmly ensconced on the pop charts with his single "One Heartbeat" at the same time as ABC's tribute. It marked one of the only times in chart history a singer had a Top 40 hit while simultaneously being the focus of another. Not many bands can say they were responsible for coining a term that would become part of the vernacular. In an earlier CRC, I mentioned that Throbbing Gristle's Genesis P. Orridge is widely recognized to have created the "industrial" tag with the advent of his label, Industrial Music, in the mid-70s. March 27, 1982 - that's the date Vicious Pink described their music as "techno" in a feature published in Sounds magazine - almost 4 years before the term gained wider acceptance in the Detroit DJ subculture. Band members Josephine Warden and Brian Moss formed the group in 1981 in Leeds, England, getting their start as backup singers for Marc Almond and Soft Cell. Originally called Vicious Pink Phenomena, Brian describes how the name came to be: "I met [Josephine] when I was DJ at an alternative night, I put on with friends, at a pub called “The Adephi” in Leeds. I also met Dave Ball and Mark Almond there through Jose, as she went to the same College as them, Leeds Polytechnic. We decided to start a band together for a bit of fun. Jose, Dave Ball and I wrote our favourite words down on pieces of paper, turned them upside down and shuffled them about. Then we each chose one of the pieces of paper, after that we rearranged them into the name Vicious Pink Phenomena, Jose’s word was Vicious, Dave’s was Pink and mine was, well, Phenomena. It was a kind of lottery I guess, but it worked. We thought it also sounded like it could be the title for a 50’s / 60’s Science Fiction B Movie." In all, the duo would release 5 dance singles, many produced by Dave Ball of Soft Cell. Despite zero promotion and garnering next-to-no mainstream support Vicious Pink managed to chart all five of those singles in the UK. The particular track here, "Cccan't You See" was their third single and was produced by the great Tony Mansfield of New Musik fame. It was the highest charting single of the bunch, reaching #67. That's it for this episode. I'll be back soon with another. Thanks everyone and Happy Listening!
