Podcast appearances and mentions of maverick records

As can often happen to records made by virtual unknowns that end up selling over 30 million copies worldwide, Alanis Morissette's uncensored diary of an album 'Jagged Little Pill' is perceived by many with a degree of snark and cynicism. Our guest this week, singer/songwriter Lori Garrote, is not one of these people. Raw, unvarnished and intensely personal, JLP became much more than just another record for her and millions of other women. You oughta know...

Today's Episode Dr. Raj is joined by Kevin Martin from the band Candlebox! Today's Guest Kevin Martin is an American singer who is best known as lead vocalist of the rock band Candlebox. He also provided lead vocals for the bands The Gracious Few and The Hiwatts. Martin was born in Elgin, Illinois. His father worked for a salt company and the family moved to San Antonio, Texas when he was 10. They subsequently moved to Mercer Island, Washington near Seattle when Martin was 15. He and drummer Scott Mercado set out to start a band in 1990. Candlebox was formed in 1991 after guitarist Peter Klett and bassist Bardi Martin joined them. They gained a Billboard 200 top 10 hit in 1993 with their self-titled debut album, released by Maverick Records. The album's success was largely due to the single "Far Behind", a song written about two of Martin's friends who suffered heroin overdoses, including Andrew Wood of Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone. The single reached number 18 on the US Hot 100 and was a top 10 hit in both the US Modern Rock and US Mainstream Rock charts.

#timetotalkaustralia Music is the eighth studio album by American singer Madonna, released on 2000 by Maverick Records. Following the success of her previous album Ray of Light (1998), she intended to embark on a tour. However, her record company encouraged her to return to the studio and record new music before going on the road. Her collaboration with producers Mirwais Ahmadzaï and William Orbit resulted a more experimental direction for the album. Music has an overall dance-pop and electronicavibe, with influnces from rock, country and folk. The album was mostly recorded at Sarm West and East Studios in London, England. Elaborating on the country theme for the album, Madonna reinvented her image as a cowgirl.

Candlebox had a seemingly immediate success with their self-titled debut album in July 1993.  The group had formed in November of 1990, with lead singer Kevin Martin, guitarist Peter Klett, bassist Bardi Martin, and drummer Scott Mercado as the founding members.  They performed in clubs around Seattle, a musical mecca at the time that benefitted from the grunge movement, and released an EP that got the attention of the new Maverick Records.  Maverick would sign Candlebox, and the group would be the studio's successful act.  While grunge was still king in Seattle and on the air waves at the time, Candlebox does not neatly fit into that category.  Some of the band's work has a grunge feel, but it tends towards a more mainstream hard rock sound in general.  The debut album Candlebox would peak at number 7 on the Billboard album charts, and would see a number of singles hit both the radio and video charts.  The strength of their songs would land them as openers for Rush and Metallica, and they would be headlining their own tours by the end of 1994.Despite the rapid success, the popularity of Candlebox was a slower burn at the time.  The album did not enter the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart until August of 1994, and initial reviews were mixed.  However, the album would remain on the chart for 104 weeks, and would be certified 4x platinum in the United States.Candlebox would release three albums with Maverick Records before running into disputes, and they disbanded in 2000.  A revised lineup would reappear in 2006, and a new album would be released in 2007.  As of this podcast Candlebox has released seven albums and is still performing today.Rob brings us this debut album for this week's podcast. YouThe second single was inspired by the time that lead singer Kevin Martin gave up drug dependency.  He had seen Midnight Oil in concert and dedicated himself to becoming a rock singer.  The single peaked at number 78 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 6 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks charts.  The song in 6/8 time alternates between a heavy rock feel on the chorus and a softer portion in the verses.Don't YouThis song leads off the album, and is a deeper cut that was not released as a single.  It really rocks from the start.  “And I could break your heart down as I tell you that you've burned out.  Don't you?  You want to let it go, yeah - you want to let it go, yeah.”RainAnother deeper cut with a very bluesy feel at the start that continues for several minutes before picking up the pace.  The lyrics are about a woman leaving the singer, and the regret the singer feels at the loss.  About three minutes in, it changes to a more rocking jazz section with a staccato scat meter in the lyrics.Far BehindThe third single would be the big hit from the album.  Their most commercially successful song went to number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 4 on the Album Rock chart.  It was written as a tribute to Andrew Wood, a singer from the Seattle group Mother Love Bone, who died of a heroin overdose in 1990.  The lyrics are written from the perspective of the drug that killed him.   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Saturday Night by Ned's Atomic Dustbin (from the motion picture “So I Married an Axe Murderer”)  The Mike Myers dark comedy featured this cover of the Bay City Rollers' song on its soundtrack. STAFF PICKS:Long Day In the Universe by Darling Buds Wayne opens up the staff picks with a deeper cut, and one that also appeared on the soundtrack to “So I Married an Axe Murderer.”  The Darling Buds are from South Wales, forming in 1986 and disbanding in 1993.  Andrew Lewis, the lead singer, tells about a woman that misses her man so much she can't wait for him to come home. Dream All Day by The Posies  Bruce's staff pick is another Seattle band.  This song hit number 4 on the Modern Rocks Chart and number 17 on the Mainstream Rocks chart.  Band members and songwriters Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow wrote this about dreaming of accomplishing things that the singer either can't or won't achieve. Have I Told You Lately by Rod Stewart Rock legend Rod Stewart begins his crooner phase with this cover of the Van Morrison classic from 1989.  Lynch brings this staff pick which hit number 5 on the US and UK charts.  Morrison originally wrote these lyrics inspired by spirituality and religious conviction.   Zooropa by U2Rob reminds us just how big U2 was at the time with his staff pick.   The “Zoo TV Tour” was a huge production, highlighting the commercialism of the time.  “Be a winner, eat to get slimmer.”  This song takes the form of a suite of three movements.  The album of the same name was produced by Brian Eno. COMEDY TRACK:Achy Breaky Song by “Weird” Al Yankovic We close out today's podcast with Weird Al's parody of the Billy Ray Cyrus country hit which was constantly played at the time.

Vor 25 Jahren – am 22. Februar 1998 – erschien "Ray Of Light" von Madonna und wurde das damals erfolgreichste Album einer Künstlerin. Über 16 Millionen Mal hat es sich verkauft. Es ist das siebte Studioalbum der amerikanischen Sängerin und Songschreiberin und erschien auf ihrem eigenen Musiklabel "Maverick Records". Nach der Geburt ihres ersten Kindes begann Madonna mit den Produzenten Babyface und Patrick Leonard an "Ray Of Light" zu arbeiten. Nach gescheiterten Sessions mit den beiden verfolgte Madonna mit dem britischen Produzenten William Orbit eine neue musikalische Richtung, was zu einem wesentlich experimentelleren Sound für das Album führte. Orbit hat verstanden, dass sie ein elektronisch- futuristisches Album mit Einflüssen aus indischer und arabischer Musik machen möchte. Der Aufnahmeprozess war der längste in Madonnas Karriere, fast fünf Monate haben sie an dem Album gearbeitet. "Ray Of Light" gilt als ihr bestes Werk und wurde von Kritikern durchweg für die komplexe, innovative und experimentelle Produktion von Orbit und Madonnas Fähigkeiten als Sängerin und Songschreiberin gelobt. Hatte Madonna sich bislang christlicher Symbole bedient, kommen nun buddhistische und hinduistische Denkweisen dazu. Madonna erfindet sich vom Klang her neu, im Kontrast dazu stehen die intimen, sehr persönlichen Texte, mit denen sie Einblick in ihr Leben gestattet. Aus dem Album wurden fünf Singles ausgekoppelt, darunter die internationalen Top-Five-Hits "Frozen" und "Ray of Light". Die Videos zu Ikonen der späten 90er. "Ray Of Light" wurde gleich mehrfach mit Platin belohnt und mit Grammys ausgezeichnet. Der größte Hit auf "Ray Of Light" ist Frozen. Über das Vermächtnis von "Ray of Light", Madonnas Hinwendung zum Buddhismus und Hinduismus aus einer christlichen Prägung heraus und ihre vielen Gesichter, darüber sprechen wir unter anderem in dieser Podcastfolge. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album „Ray Of Light“ wird im Podcast gesprochen: 12:03 Mins – „Frozen“ 25:25 Mins – „Drowned World / Substitute For Love“ 38:38 Mins – „Swim“ 42:01 Mins – „Ray Of Light“ __________ Über diese Songs wird außerdem im Podcast gesprochen: 48:05 Mins – „Boys Don't Cry“ von The Cure __________ Shownotes: Offizieller YouTube- Kanal von Madonna: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC81VD6eeuLLSfyY_D-N8sVw „Die Wiedergeburt der Madonna“ – Kritik auf Laut.de: https://www.laut.de/Madonna/Alben/Ray-Of-Light-43936 Offizielle Homepage von Madonna: https://www.madonna.com/ __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

When producers Kip Ohman and Stuart Cornfeld decided to update an obscure 1958 horror B-movie, they likely had no idea that they would be embarking on a journey towards creating the groundbreaking critical success that would become The Fly. Directed by David Cronenberg, The Fly tells the story of Seth Brundle, a brilliant scientist and inventor, who has created what he believes to be a teleporting device. While conducting an experiment, he unwittingly allows a fly to enter the device with him, resulting in the two being spliced together. The film opened in 1986 to both critical and commercial acclaim, ultimately earning an Academy Award for Best Makeup and four Saturn Awards for Cronenberg and lead actors Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis.

Casio talks to Kevin Martin, lead singer of Candlebox! Seattle-based multi-platinum rock band Candlebox returns with its seventh album, Wolves. Dropping worldwide on September 17, 2021, on Pavement Entertainment. Candlebox formed back in 1991, and soon thereafter incited a record label bidding war in Los Angeles. The lineup went quadruple-platinum with their 1993 self-titled debut on Madonna's Maverick Records and released two more acclaimed albums (1995's Lucy and 1998's Happy Pills). The singles “Far Behind,” “You” and “Cover Me,” became ubiquitous fan and radio favorites.

Terry Anzaldo has worked with the likes of Madonna, Alanis Morissette and Wu Tang Clan. He's also a record industry veteran who's been the Senior Vice President of Maverick Records, Vice President of RCA Records and launched the band Los 5 all the way to the iHeatRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas! He breathes music. He breads talent. He's made some legendary deals in Hollywood. He's a story-teller. He speaks from the heart. He is T.A.

Did we do it? You KNOW we did it! At long last, Kenny and Mark kick off their conversation about all things “Erotica” - the song, the video, the remixes, AND the Sex book. Maverick Records, Shep Pettibone, Dita Parlo, Big Daddy Kane, Vanilla Ice … they're all here, kids. And - if that weren't enough - Kenny kicks off the episode with his testimonial on why this album is Madonna's masterpiece - and how formative it remains in his own life narrative. “We're not full of rage … we're full of HOPE!” “Erotica” video directed by Steven Meisel (1992)MTV Interview w/ Steve Blame (1992)Jonathan Ross presents Madonna on Erotica Interview (1992)“Erotica” Live from The Girlie Show - Madonna Down Under (1993)“Erotica/You Thrill Me” Live from The Confessions Tour (2006)

We're going big on this week's Broken Records this week by covering American Life, the ninth studio album from Queen Madge herself, Madonna. Released on April 21, 2003, by Maverick Records and Warner Bros. Records, the album is a concept album (apparently) with themes of the American Dream and materialism and was produced by Madonna herself and Mirwais Ahmadzaï, a collaborator who had worked wonders for Madonna's material on her previous studio album Music.   Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for American Life, an album that attempts to mix elements of Americana folk with electronica to sometimes risible, often just plan boring results. American Life featured Hollywood, the first Madonna single not to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 since 1983. Hollywood turns out to be one of the least of the album's crimes however, although there is some rip-roaring debate between Steve and Remfry over Die Another Day, the Bond theme to the film of the same name that also features on this album. Dance club banger or a turgid mess in search of a song?

Fred Croshal is one of the most positive, encouraging and charming people I know. He led the sales team at the WORK Group at Sony Music while I was an assistant for the Product Management team. He graciously wrote my business school reference letters and then he went on to be General Manager at Madonna's Maverick  Records. During my 2nd year at school, he spoke at the Media & Entertainment conference I produced and blew peoples' minds when he gave a sneak peek at Madonna's new song, Music. Fred and I discuss sports, leading teams vs. telling teams, and thoughts on long-term mgmt and innovation effects due to the pandemic.

Hoy, en este nuevo capítulo de la Historia del Rock en La Gran Travesía, repasamos los primeros años de Muse, el grupo formado a mitad de los años 90. Y recordad que lo podéis escuchar también en https://radiofreerock.com Chris Wolstenholme al bajo, Dominic Howard a la batería, Matt Bellamy como principal compositor, guitarrista y cantante del grupo. Matt Bellamy, nacido en 1978 es hijo del guitarrista de una banda de surf instrumental de los años 60 llamada los Tornados, el primer grupo inglés en tener un número 1 en EEUU, en verano de 1962. Cuando sus padres se divorciaron él tenía apenas 14 años, y se iría a vivir con su abuela. De pequeño, con 7 años, ya había empezado a practicar y aprender a tocar el piano, pero poco después se decantaría por la guitarra eléctrica. Ahí, de niño, también empezaría a jugar con amigos con tablas ouija intentando contactar con el más allá, y posiblemente de ahí le viniera esa devoción por la astronomía, el espacio y la vida más allá de los confines de la Tierra. Todo eso le iría formando en cuanto a las alusiones en sus letras, pero musicalmente Nirvana, Queen, Rage Against The Machine, Radiohead y Jeff Buckley podrían ser algunas de sus primeras inspiraciones. Muse se conocerían en la pequeña ciudad de Teignmouth, al suroeste de Inglaterra cuando los tres tenían 14-15 años y sus respectivos grupos se estaban separando. Contarían Muse que mientras el resto de chavales de su edad se iban de fiesta, a ellos les gustaba ensayar y tocar, y pronto tuvieron claro que querían crear sus propias canciones. Agitated sería una de sus primeras canciones, y sería grabada en Noviembre de 1996 en unos estudios de grabación, dentro de las maquetas conocidas como Newton Abbot. Con apenas 16 años, la primera encarnación del grupo se llamaría Rocket Baby Dolls, y su primera gran actuación llegaría en una especie de batalla de bandas donde parece ser que el único grupo de rock serían ellos. Tal vez el impacto que causaron, rompiendo sus instrumentos al final de la actuación, estilo Nirvana, sería uno de los factores que les inclinaría la balanza y terminaron ganando. Según contarían, ahí se dieron cuenta que la emoción no estaba reñida con la calidad técnica, y descubrirían que sus habilidades podían tener metas mayores. En enero de 1997 volverían a grabar algunas canciones propias, y muchas de ellas terminarían formando parte de su primer álbum. Renombrarían a su banda Muse y continuaron tomándoselo muy en serio. En 1997, Dennis Smith, propietario de Sawmills Studios, un estudio de grabación en Inglaterra, los descubrió tocando en un pueblo y quedó bastante sorprendido de la habilidad del grupo y de su enorme creatividad. Tras ese descubrimiento, les ofrecería grabar algunos temas gratuitamente en sus estudios Terminarían firmando con Dangerous y luego con Taste Media, un pequeño sello discográfico independiente, creado fundamentalmente para la publicación de sus primeros álbumes. Y, tras unos cuantos conciertos, en los que Muse llegarían a telonear a Skunk Anansie, despertaron el interés en Madonna y su sello Maverick Records con quienes firmarían en la víspera de navidad de 1998 para su distribución en Estados Unidos. Ese año, 1997 grabarían su primer EP con apenas 4 canciones en ese pequeño sello, Dangerous, y donde ya dejaban claro cuales eran sus principales referencias. El EP fue grabado dos días después de que Dennis Smith, en los Sawmills Studios ofreciera a Muse tiempo libre en el estudio. Se lanzaron 999 copias del EP, cada una con una pegatina numerada a mano, y escrita personalmente por Matt Bellamy. Se entregaron otras 100 copias promocionales sin numerar a emisoras de radio y periodistas, mientras que las copias numeradas se vendieron por correo y en tiendas de discos independientes Muse apenas ganaría unas 300 libras.Escucha este episodio completo y accede a todo el contenido exclusivo de La Gran Travesía.

El flamante debut de la banda de Sacramento, California. Un álbum que vio la luz en 1995 a través de Maverick Records y que nos muestra a unos jóvenes Chino Moreno (voz), Stephen Carpenter (guitarra), Abe Cunningham (batería) y Chi Cheng (bajo) que tenían mucho dentro para contar al mundo. Después llegarían los reconocimientos, las giras por todo el mundo y los discos de versiones. Pero todo empezó con este "Adrenaline" que venía a mostrar el camino que debía seguir el metal en los 90, algo que perdura hasta nuestros días.

The upending of the moral majority has been consistent for decades as the self-righteous slunk from one faux outrage after another. No one was more effective in raising their ire than Madonna. As a pop princess in the 80's, she reached the pinnacle of pop-stardom with slickly produced vanilla fair that tantalized and tweaked our inner-demons. By the end of the decade, she had perfected her dalliances and maximized her persona of controversy and sexuality inviting the kind of criticism that would only serve to make her star shine brighter. In 1989, she released Like a Prayer to equal amounts praise and criticism. The lead single's video portrayed a black Jesus Christ as a sexual object. This affront to religion was considered an apostasy by Christians. The follow-up single Express Yourself was a testament to female empowerment and respect. While the production values of the album relied on the smooth pop structure of her previous efforts, the Shep Pettibone remixes of these songs capitalized on the burgeoning underground House Music scene at the time, taking the songs to an entirely new level. In 1990, Madonna took that sound mainstream with the release of Vogue off of the "I'm Breathless: Music from and Inspired by the Film Dick Tracy". That same year, she released the semi-greatest hits package The Immaculate Collection which sold over 30 million copies worldwide and has gone on to be one of the biggest selling albums of all-time. More controversy ensued as the sexually charged video for the lead single Justify My Love which contained imagery of sadomasochism, voyeurism, and bisexuality¹ was initially banned from MTV and then allowed to air only after midnight. Because of the limited airplay, the video was released as a VHS single (the first of its kind) and went on to sell over a million copies. By 1992, all bets were off and Madonna had not only secured a new multimedia deal in conjunction with Time Warner worth $60 million but simultaneously released her first album on the new label Maverick Records entitled Erotica along with the coffee table book of sexual fantasies entitled SEX. The album itself received mixed reviews by critics but by most standards is now considered one of her greatest works. Erotica is a concept album about sex and romance, incorporating her alter ego named Mistress Dita, inspired by actress Dita Parlo. Some songs also take on a more confessional tone, influenced by the loss of Madonna's two close friends to AIDS.² The book was critically panned even by fans who felt she had taken sexual matters too far. Its intention was not only to provoke but to allow people to openly discuss their sexual desires and fantasies; often times things they were already doing under the covers. Through the years, however, critical reception towards Sex has become more positive, with academics deeming it a defining phase in Madonna's career. Sex is noted for its impact on society and culture as well as on Madonna herself, and is considered a bold, post-feminist work of art.³ 1989 until the beginning of the millennium was not only the most productive and experimental work Madonna has ever produced but it was the same time that I became sexually woke. As a young gay man from small-town America, dancing my ass off to Express Yourself at Rich's in Houston with more gay men than I had ever witnessed in my entire life empowered me to move forward and be open about who I am. It just happened to coincide with Madonna's extended middle finger to all the prudes and religious zealots who would later be plagued by their own sexual demons. Oh, the hypocrisy. Erotica and the SEX coffee table book now stand as some of the most important work by any artist of the 20th century. Madonna certainly wasn't the first and owes a great deal of gratitude to Grace Jones, Deborah Harry, Donna Summer and others that had preceded her. Nevertheless, she paved the way for artists like Janet, Beyoncé, Britney,

Meshell Ndegeocello's CV may include collaborations with the eclectic company of Herbie Hancock, Basement Jaxx, Robert Glasper and Madonna, yet with every project she remains resolutely herself. Whether it's through guest spots or her own releases, Meshell's sound has always been her hallmark. In 1993, Madonna's fledgling Maverick Records released Plantation Lullabies, Meshell's debut which perfectly highlighted that sound: dual pleasures of baritone singing and spoken word with her distinctive bass-playing washing over and through you. For more than 20 years and 11 albums, this restless artist has touched upon genre after genre without sacrificing her identity or style. Utilizing her laptop as a new instrument, this year Meshell plans to release a new album that aims to fuse both politics and dancing.
