Flopcast episode 682! It’s another 80s-themed episode, and we’re up to 1982. And to keep this one short and silly, we’re just looking at the albums we bought from that year. It’s a mix of goofy mainstream pop (Hall & Oates, Air Supply, REO Speedwagon), some slightly cooler stuff (Elvis Costello, Devo, Midnight Oil), and […] The post Flopcast 682: Well, We’re Living Here in ’82 appeared first on The ESO Network.

Ahhhh g'day mate! We're heading down under for one of Australia's finest. When Queen told us we had to look out for the planet, we really weren't fans of being preached at by rocks stars, so how will we find this politically-charged chart topper? We get another question in our #AskUsAnything channel from Barry and there's a little bit of Britney involved.... what a time to be alive!If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "How do we sleep while our beds are burning?", or possibly, "Get out of the building you idiot, your bed is on fire!"The twelfth episode in this podcast-within-a-podcast covers a song submitted by the marvellous Mocca Smith and is the song that pushed Midnight Oil into the global consciousness; "Beds Are Burning".The poem, titled "Tonic" is by a fantastic fella Kev served with in the military, named Paul Cather, who performs poetry under the name BAMPOeT.

Interview by Kris PetersSydney punk/rock outfit Crash & The Crapenters have become well known since their 2016 debut for their signature immature but experienced psychedelic rock that touches on themes of mental health, addiction, and burnout, and their latest EP Species Du Faeces is a showcase of their sound.This four-track journey - which is out now - is packed with homages to their musical influences, the first of which is the album name, a reference toSpecies Deceases, the 1985 Midnight Oil EP.HEAVY caught up with singer/songwriter Chris Carpenter to go more in-depth."We honestly feel, at this point in time, creatively it's a turning point for us," Carpenter voiced. "We're already looking forward to what we do next. The working title for our next album which is in pre-production at the moment is Surpass, and we'd like to think that we're going to be able to surpass everything that we've done before with what we do. When you look back at Midnight Oil's career, they pretty much were able to do that and achieve their greatest creativity and their greatest successes after having used Species Deceases as that sort of bridging that gap between Red Sails and Diesel and Dust."In the full interview, Chris provided an overview of his band, Crash & The Crapenters, and their new EP, Species Du Faeces, which features four thematically linked tracks addressing drug abuse and its consequences. The title pays homage to Midnight Oil's Species Deceases, reflecting the band's influences.We explored individual tracks, including All Geared Up, which narrates personal experiences with drugs and party culture, and Depression, (Smells Like Middle-Aged Spirit), which delves into mental health struggles, plans for the rest of 2025 moving forward plus more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

In the ever-evolving landscape of rock music, where authenticity often takes a backseat to fleeting trends, Elephants and Stars emerge as a beacon of genuine artistry. Hailing from Canada's Golden Horseshoe region, with roots deeply embedded in both Hamilton and Toronto, this quartet crafts music not out of obligation, but from an intrinsic need to express, connect, and resonate. The Genesis of Elephants and Stars At the heart of Elephants and Stars lies the enduring partnership between singer-guitarist Manfred Sittmann and bassist Mike MacMillan. Their musical journey began in the early 2000s with the formation of Soap Opera, a band that quickly garnered attention and secured a deal with Bullseye Records, leading to the release of two albums: Poised and Welcome to the Tangiers. Not content to rest on their laurels, the duo ventured into new sonic territories with The First Time. Their 2004 debut, It's On, produced by the esteemed Warne Livesey (known for his work with Midnight Oil and Matthew Good), was a faster, heavier evolution of their previous pop-punk sound. The album's acclaim was underscored when it clinched the Best Punk Record at the 2005 Toronto Independent Music Awards, with singles like "Goodbye Harlowe" and "New Day Dawning" receiving widespread radio play and television licensing. A Sound That Resonates Elephants and Stars are not just another band in the crowded rock scene. Their music is a testament to maturity, experience, and a profound understanding of the genre's roots. Eschewing the typical grind of endless touring for minimal returns, they focus on delivering performances that matter—sharing stages with luminaries like Television's Richard Lloyd, Against Me!'s Laura Jane Grace, and indie legends Lowest of the Low. Such collaborations not only elevate their profile but also place them in front of audiences that appreciate depth, nuance, and authenticity in music. 'Under The Earth And Above Heaven' February 2025 marked a significant milestone for Elephants and Stars with the release of their album, Under The Earth And Above Heaven. Produced by the legendary Ian Blurton, the album is a masterclass in blending high-energy rock with heartfelt lyricism and anthemic melodies. The lead singles, "The Ceiling" and "Strangers on a Train," have already captivated listeners, showcasing the band's knack for big hooks and guitar-driven energy. Blurton's production amplifies the band's dynamic range, resulting in what many critics hail as their most powerful release to date. The album's title carries a unique backstory. After sharing a stage with Richard Lloyd of Television, Sittmann was inspired by Lloyd's autobiography. "We got the title from the Richard Lloyd (Television) autobiography after we played a show with him last year," Sittmann recalls. "When I told him we were thinking of using the title, he thought it was a great name—and that was pretty much that." Critical Acclaim and Audience Reception The release of Under The Earth And Above Heaven has been met with widespread acclaim. Cashbox Canada highlighted the album's fusion of high-energy rock and heartfelt lyricism, noting that it marks an exciting evolution for the band. Similarly, Dropout Entertainment praised the album as a bold new chapter, emphasizing its anthemic melodies and raw, heartfelt lyricism. A Commitment to Authenticity What sets Elephants and Stars apart is their unwavering commitment to authenticity. They eschew the trappings of the modern music industry, choosing instead to focus on crafting songs that resonate on a deeper level. Their approach is evident in their recording process, opting for old-school studios and seasoned producers like Ian Blurton to capture the raw essence of their sound. This dedication ensures that each track is not just heard but felt, leaving an indelible mark on the listener Looking Ahead With Under The Earth And Above Heaven now available on all major streaming platforms,

It's taken us nearly seven years, but the time has come. Midnight Oil, one of Australia's quintessential bands, is probably best known for its tireless political activism as expressed through hits like "Beds Are Burning" and "Blue Sky Mine," as well as the on-stage acrobatics of their 6′4″ frontman, Peter Garrett. But behind the sloganeering and agitprop, the Oils are a fiendishly creative and charmingly oddball band, and their 1982 Australian breakout album 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, recorded at a make-or-break moment for the group, was when they first really landed on their unmistakable aura. Rich has been an Oils fan literally since he was a teenager, and he's called in Ben and returning special guest Dave Weigel to deconstruct 10 to 1 and all of the power and the passion that went into these incredible songs.

Folks, we're stretching a bit on this one. Lynch noticed that Roger Waters performed "The Wall" at the Berlin wall in this month, and used that as an excuse to feature A Momentary Lapse of Reason, which was the latest studio album by Pink Floyd. Since that originally came out in 1987, we're asking you to squint a bit to see it's relevance to the summer of 1990. That being said...A Momentary Lapse of Reason is the first Pink Floyd album released after bassist and primary songwriter Roger Waters left the band. Waters had expected that Pink Floyd would simply disband, and was surprised when David Gilmour and Nick Mason decided to continue without him. Acrimony and lawsuits appeared, but in the end a Water-less Pink Floyd continued on.Unlike many prior Pink Floyd albums, this one is not playing off a single concept. Instead, it is a more traditional collection of songs. Gilmour presented the album as a return to earlier Pink Floyd material, which was perhaps a reaction to common critiques of their previous album "The Final Cut" as a Roger Waters solo effort masquerading as a Pink Floyd album. There are a number of well-known session musicians that participated in the making of this album.The album was a commercial success, debuting at number 3 on both the US and UK albums charts. The US tour was the most successful of the year, selling out almost every venue it played in the States. Roger Water's lawsuits would be overcome, and a settlement was reached between Waters and the band by the end of 1987.Lynch brings us this Pink Floyd reboot album for today's podcast and we're joined by guest host Julie Doran joins us on this episode. On the Turning AwayThis power ballad was co-written by Gilmour and British experimental composer Anthony Moore. It is an anti-war song, one of the more political Pink Floyd songs written since the departure of Waters. It begins with a solemn Gilmour vocal supported by understated keyboards, then builds to an almost orchestral conclusion. Learning to FlyA surprisingly upbeat song for the group, the inspiration for this first single is David Gilmour's experience learning to fly airplanes. At the time he would do practice flights in the mornings and work in the studio in the afternoons. It is also a metaphor for the band coming back together after splitting with Roger Waters.One SlipThe fourth US single discusses the long-term consequences of a one-night stand, and contains the lyrics that would become the title to the album as a whole. Gilmour co-wrote this song with Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera. Fans of bassist Tony Levin may recognize his work on a Chapman Stick in the instrumentation for this track. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Real Wild Child by Iggy Pop (from the motion picture “Problem Child”)This dark comedy starring John Ritter follows the trials of Ben Healy Jr. as he adopts a less-than-model child from a questionable adoption agency. STAFF PICKS:Stop by Jane's AddictionWayne leads off the staff picks with a college radio hit off the "Ritual De Lo Habitual" album. Lead singer Perry Farrell warns about apathy towards environmental disaster, telling people to turn off the smokestacks. "And the water will run, come a day, the water will run, no man will stand for things he had done."Brave New World by Michael PennRob brings us a jangly deeper cut with a song with rapid fire lyrics off Penn's "March" album. The song reflects confusion in where the singer is going, perhaps making a commentary on society as it heads into a "brave new world." "This may not be my best day, but this ain't no golden age. You looked pretty on the freeway. Let's drive into the brave new world."Give It Up by Hothouse FlowersBruce features a s song from an Irish group off their second album, "Home." This song that went to number 2 on the US Modern Rock chart is summed up in the lyrics, "Well, this song's inspired by a good man and his tune doing good for others, sing 'Amazing Grace' for you." Rub You the Right Way by Johnny GillJulie's staff pick is an upbeat hip hop song, and Gill's first single after he left New Edition earlier in the year. Despite the lyrics, Gill was the son of a minister and got his start in gospel music. He signed with Motown as a teenager. Gill had become very accustomed to performing live, and had a difficult time switching to studio work. Blue Sky Mine by Midnight OilLynch closes out the staff picks with the first single off Midnight Oil's seventh studio album. The inspiration for the song was the experience of workers in the Wittenoom asbestos mines in western Australia, where they contracted a variety of asbestos-related diseases. The "blue" in the title refers to "blue asbestos," a form of the mineral considered most hazardous.

Je vous ai déjà raconté comment tant de chanteurs étaient arrivés d'Australie dans les années 60 et 70, des Bee Gees aux Easybeats en passant par Flash and the Pan. Et ça ne s'est pas arrêté dans les années 80 avec Kylie Minogue, Midnight Oil et Icehouse.Et justement, Icehouse, ça, c'est le groupe typique dont on connaît au moins une chanson par coeur, du genre qu'on monte le son sans savoir exactement ce qu'on aime en elle mais dont on ne sait rien. Je ne savais même pas qu'ils étaient Australiens ! C'est vrai que leur fameux single a fait un sacré tube fin 1982, début 83 et que cela leur avait valu d'assurer la première partie de la tournée du retour de David Bowie, la même année. Alors cette voix qui a sûrement dû vous accrocher avec son léger grain quand il descend dans les graves et sa clarté dans les aigus, c'est celle d'Iva Davies. Oui, comme les frères Davies des Kinks mais rien à voir, son père Neville a été garde forestier toute sa carrière dans la région de Sydney. Un père qui chante lors des festivités, alors son fils à qui il a inculqué l'amour des arbres, chante lui aussi, et joue de la guitare. On ne s'étonne pas que son premier groupe se nomme Flowers et qu'il rencontre un joli succès en Australie, avec sa voix, proche de celle de Bryan Ferry de Roxy Music. Alors, un jour de 1981, sa firme de disques décide de le lancer en Grande-Bretagne et par conséquent, le reste du monde. Le nom de Flowers étant déjà pris dans tous les sens, il en faut un nouveau, Iva demande :Que pensez-vous de Icehouse ? Icehouse ? Quelle idée ! Ben, c'était le nom que j'avais donné au flat que je louais à l'étage d'une vieille maison et où je me les suis gelés durant des mois.Icehouse ? vendu ! C'est d'ailleurs le titre du premier single qui paraît en 1982 et qui, au milieu de la New Wave des Ultravox, Depeche Mode et Human League serait sans doute passé inaperçu si la vidéo n'était pas tournée par le réalisateur australien, Russell Mulcahy, hyper célèbre, il est l'auteur du premier clip diffusé sur MTV : Video killed the radio stars et futur réalisateur de Highlander. Le gros succès arrive quelques mois plus tard avec Hey Little Girl, tellement New Wave, et puis un second titre de l'album plus tardivement, chanson d'un film intitulé pour ado Young Einstein, comme on en a tant tourné dans les années 80. Alors voilà, vous savez désormais que la voix de ce groupe mystérieux qu'il était à lui tout seul, appartenait à un certain Iva Davies, immense célébrité dans son pays de l'autre côté de la Terre, mais pour nous, simplement Icehouse, qui nous a offert un des très bons moments de ces années 80.

"Blue Sky Mining" von Midnight Oil erschien im Jahr 1990. Die australische Alternative-Rockband schaffte es mit der Platte erneut, mit Protestsongs die Leute zum Tanzen zu bringen. Dabei stand die Band rund um den Sänger und späteren Politiker Peter Garrett ziemlich unter Druck. Ihr vorheriges Album "Diesel And Dust", das den Hit "Beds Are Burning" enthält, verhalf ihnen zum weltweiten Durchbruch. Schließlich standen Midnight Oil vor der Frage, wie man nach diesem Erfolg weiter machen sollte. Mit "Blue Sky Mining" haben sie eine Antwort auf diese Frage gefunden und sich künstlerisch weiterentwickelt. Das Album wird erneut ein internationaler Erfolg und von der australischen Musikindustrie gefeiert. Unter anderem erhält es die Auszeichnung als Australiens Album des Jahres 1990. Midnight Oil sind dafür bekannt, komplexe politische und gesellschaftliche Themen in ihrer Musik zu verarbeiten. Auch "Blue Sky Mining" ist ein eindringlicher Protest – jedoch ohne erhobenen Zeigefinger. Dabei bleiben sie stets das, was sie immer waren: eine ehrliche Rockband. Trotz allen gesellschaftlichen Missständen, die in "Blue Sky Mining" thematisiert werden, vermittelt das Album eine zentrale Botschaft: Es gibt Hoffnung. Besonders deutlich wird diese Botschaft in "Bedlam Bridge", dem dritten Song des Albums. "Bedlam Bridge" ist ein Lied über eine trostlose und dystopische Gesellschaft, das von einer atmosphärischen Klanglandschaft untermalt ist. Die Musik und der Text lassen spüren, dass selbst in dunklen Zeiten noch Hoffnung besteht. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Blue Sky Mining" wird im Podcast gesprochen (02:27) – "One Country"(10:37) – "Blue Sky Mining"(28:20) – "Bedlam Bridge"(37:47) – "Mountains Of Burma"(49:37) – "Forgotten Years"(54:18) – "King Of The Mountain" __________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge: https://1.ard.de/midnight-oil-blue-sky-mining?podcast __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Send us a message, so we know what you're thinking!Every band/artist has to have a first album. Sometimes those albums are good, sometimes they're not, and sometimes they just show potential. This episode, we look at some first albums over the gamut of the rock era that we regard as great, including some Australian albums. You've probably heard of most, but not all.

The Brits had taken over music and pop culture in the 1960s, and then--to a lesser extent--they did it again in the early 80s. But now, it was time for the Aussies to take over... This is a look back on the 1980s Aussie invasion, a time when the Land Down Under heavily influenced radio, record stores, TVs, and movie theatres in North America, and around the world... Whether you played knifey-spoony before or not, it was hard not to be aware of the Australian influence. From Kylie Minogue to Midnight Oil, and Paul Hogan to Yahoo Serious, the Aussies made a big impact on 1980s pop culture.

In the scriptures, there is a warning that many who believe they are saved may not be. In the parable of the 10 virgins, Jesus emphasizes that simply going through the motions of Christianity will not grant us entry into the eternal Kingdom of God unless our actions are motivated by genuine salvation, demonstrated by the presence of the Holy Spirit, living in anticipation of His return. Pastor Rob Danz teaches from Matthew 25:1-13.

Welcome back to Trey's Table Podcast! In our latest episode, we dive deep into the powerful resonance of Midnight Oil's iconic song "Beds Are Burning" and how its message inspired a broader conversation about reparations for African Americans. As a host passionate about African American history, politics, and culture, I believe it's essential to explore how music can serve as a catalyst for social change. Midnight Oil, an Australian rock band, released "Beds Are Burning" in 1987 as a rallying cry against the injustices faced by Indigenous Australians. The song's urgent tone and poignant lyrics emphasize the need for action and accountability, reminding us that change does not happen without a collective effort to address past wrongs. This message resonates profoundly within the context of reparations for African Americans. Just as Midnight Oil called for recognition and redress of historical injustices, the conversation around reparations seeks to confront the legacy of slavery, systemic racism, and economic disparity that continues to affect African American communities today. In this episode, we explore the historical context of reparations—examining the long-standing demands for acknowledgment, restitution, and systemic changes that could pave the way for healing and equity. We also discuss contemporary efforts, including legislative proposals and grassroots movements, that highlight the urgency of this issue. #treystablepodcast https://youtu.be/ywA79iRmAtQ?s...https://youtu.be/Q_F8syI8fyI?s...
A Way with Words — language, linguistics, and callers from all over
What exactly is a planet? Controversy over this question led to Pluto's redefinition, along with a brand-new English word. And: Some people now use the phrase all the things! to mean and whatnot or you know what I mean. This new sense of all the things comes from a hilarious cartoon in which someone approaches daily tasks with exceptional vigor. Speaking of which, if you're working hard and burning the midnight oil, what kind of oil are you burning, anyway? Plus curfew, shoo it away!, a kibitzing quiz, Irish wristwatch, quemar las pestañas, the Hawk that's a cold wind, hot as brinjer, virar a noite, and sigma male.

In 1985, a group of musicians came together to raise awareness about the oppressive, racist government in South Africa. Organized by Steven Van Zandt, the group calling themselves Artists United Against Apartheid was, according to music critic Dave Marsh, “the most diverse line up of popular musicians ever assembled for a single session” and the list is pretty amazing.” Just some of the names include Bono, George Clinton, Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed, Kurtis Blow, Miles Davis, Ringo Star, David Ruffin, Joey Ramone, Run DMC, Keith Richard, Bruce Springsteen, Herbie Hancock, Bonnie Raitt, that dude from Midnight Oil, AND the Fat Boys.

Get that horny feeling with Prog-Watch this week!! (No, not like that!) But tune in to hear lots of brassy sounds from the likes of Tony Banks, Happy the Man, Thank You Scientist, The Alan Parsons Project, Gentle Giant, Snarky Puppy, Genesis, Caravan, Midnight Oil, Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, Chicago, Yes, Edgar Winter, and Van Morrison!
Not only did the mighty Midnight Oil bless the world with their incredible music, they also educated us on the plight of Australian people and politics which ended up informing many of us and how we see the world. Guitarist and primary songwriter Jim Moginie recently released a memoir called The Silver River which tells the band's story, but, even more impressively, tells his personal journey as someone who was adopted at a young age and found his birth parents later in life. That story is really at the heart of this excellent book. We also talk about that powerful music, the pressure he felt to produce hits, saying goodbye, his writing process, and much much more. We are so lucky to hear from anyone in the Oil's camp. Enjoy! www.jimmoginie.com www.patreon.com/thehustlepod
