"Sony Music Publishing confirmed an agreement to acquire Blackstone's Recognition Music Group catalog for $3.5 billion. The Red Hot Chili Peppers just sold their catalog for $300 million. Other Funds are raising billions to start buying. These buyers are called Music Rights Funds. I became interested in how these Funds actually made money. How does one invest and can I sell my own music. I have the answers for you."
"The New York Times released their 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters list a short while ago. I know online lists usually have some click bait to start conversation but this list was overtly egregious. Not for who was on it. It was who was left off. We will go over the list and play some artists that should have been on there."
In Australia, no wedding or school dance is complete without the Nutbush, Australia's unofficial national dance. The Nutbush – a simple line dance to the song “Nutbush City Limits,” by Ike and Tina Turner – has become as stereotypically Australian as kangaroos, boomerangs, and Vegemite.And yet, hardly anyone outside of Australia even knows the Nutbush exists. Here at Decoder Ring, we certainly didn't – until we started getting emails from Australians asking us to investigate its origins. How did an American song become the soundtrack for an Australian national tradition? Who invented the iconic steps, and why does every Australian know them?Our producer Max Freedman put on his dancing shoes to get some answers. The global, century-spanning story of the Nutbush involves Australia, Tennessee, Denmark, primary schools, gay discos, and demonstrates that even the goofiest cultural touchstones can go surprisingly deep.In this episode you'll hear from culture journalists David Mack and Angus Kidman; Nutbush researchers Panizza Allmark and Jon Stratton; dance historians Erica Okamura and Richard Powers; Dr. Fiona Chatteur, Jeremy Santolin, and Brian Kerr.This episode was written and produced by Max Freedman and edited by Evan Chung, our supervising producer.

Hello my big music lover fans! We are on our second criminally underrated Black group and this one is a personal favorite of mine.Today we are discussing the legacy of Love Unlimited, a vocal trio curated by the Maestro of Love, Mr. Barry White and consisted of sisters Glodean White and Linda James and their cousin, Diane Taylor. Their lyrics invoke a lot of conversation regarding the female audience about their desires, thoughts, and feelings when it comes to love. Listen as Kevaun talks about their history, their influence in music and fashion and so much more!Ladies, here are your flowers.

"Many summer tours are having to scale back or cancel altogether. The nickname given to this practice is Blue Dot Fever. It is named after the blue dots that appear on unsold seats when a ticket buyer uses Ticketmaster. It has become indicative of a larger societal and financial concern that is leading to people not being able to attend live music. We will explain."
A talk with Colin Asher about his new book, The Midnight Special. Read my review of his biography of Nelson Algren here.
"This is a requested topic from a friend. He wondered if we had ever discussed steel drums. We had not so we did a show. We have some history and some discussion of tuning and prices. There are also a lot of songs that use the steel drum you may not have noticed before."
"On April 16 2026 A federal jury in Manhattan found that Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation have been acting as a monopoly. The case is wide ranging involving 33 states and the District of Columbia. Live Nation will not appeal any of the verdicts. We will discuss what is a monopoly and what these decisions could mean for the future."
The Met Gala lacks representation, The Cult of NatureBoy on Hulu, Shannon Elizabeth justifies OnlyFans, Blake Lively fails, bratty Blue Ivy, Stefon Diggs Not Guilty, Andy Kaufman, and the personal life of Jerry Seinfeld. Met Gala: Drew didn't see many people that looked like him at the event. Blake Lively SNAPPED at helpers. Timothée Chalamet skipped the event for the New York Knicks game. Blue Ivy was a total brat. Blake Lively is falling fast. Her Betty Booze alcohol is a joke. Justin Baldoni is soft… but he's the winner in the battle. Popcorned Planet has the story covered. Andy Kaufman was a legendary wrestler. We check out his musical number on The Midnight Special. Drew recommends the Thank You Very Much documentary. John Mellencamp has great stage banter and a giant head. Franki Valli's son is a menace. Drew spent 45 minutes without a cell phone. It was a stressful day. The Cult of NatureBoy is the latest wild doc on Hulu. The Devil Wears Prada 2 made a lot of money at the box office, but not as much as Michael. Drew is yearning for comedies, dramas and Hugh Grant rom-coms. Geese is totally an industry plant. Is Greta Van Fleet finished? They posted cryptic social media posts. Stefon Diggs is not guilty of strangling his chef… who he was also banging. McDonald's is under attack! Seattle has an interesting mayor. We go on a Jerry Seinfeld deep dive thanks to the work of Wassup with Lordbuckly?. Shannon Elizabeth now has complete agency over her body… but very little agency over her money. Woodward Sports has been sold and is moving to Royal Oak. Maz's commute is not affected. Merch is for sale! Buy it. Or don't. But do.

"Just a bit of fun this week. Nobody is perfect so it is pretty easy to hear mistakes in recorded music. Here are some of the big ones in rock and hopefully some you did not know. Once you hear them, you cannot unhear them."
If you thought the government couldn't get any more surreal, think again. Stephanie Miller unpacks the legal gymnastics of Cash Patel as he faces down "excessive drinking" allegations with a quarter-billion-dollar lawsuit that The Atlantic seems more than happy to fight. But the real "magic" is happening at the Navy. Why was Secretary John Phelan escorted out under the cover of darkness? And is the incoming Hung Cho really bringing hexes to a gunfight? Stephanie navigates the crumbling structure of U.S. military leadership and the ongoing volatile situation in the Middle East with the cynicism and wit the moment deserves. It's the news you need, minus the boring bits. With guests Dr. Redlener & Dana Goldberg!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
"The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry has released its 2026 State of the Industry Report. There are some pretty big take aways including stances on AI and the fact that the music industry is now more profitable than ever before. We will explore the findings."
"The former head of Interscope and Geffen records Jimmie Ivine said that streaming has had its time. Spotify will see its demise soon. Whether you believe that or not, the question is what comes next. After Spotify. Many have suggest this next step in music evolution. We will tell you what Ivine said and offer up some possibilities for after Spotify."
This week, we present a very special Revolutions Per Movie Live recording of Kevin McDonald Superstar, a rip-roaring comic rock opera performed to a sold-out crowd at the Clinton Street Theater in Portland, Oregon. Written by McDonald, Kevin McDonald Superstar is based on the true story of his relationship with his girlfriend “Cheater” and a stupid, awful thing he did in New York City while traveling with the Kids in the Hall.The show boasts an eclectic cast of stellar comedic and musical talent, including Scott McCaughey (of The Minus 5 & R.E.M.), Chaki (The Funk Wizard! of RPM's URGH and Midnight Special podcasts), Jennifer Faust & Brian Kunkel (of Denim Wedding), Suzanne Foster, Julia Corral, and, of course, Kevin McDonald himself. AND… exclusively for RPM's Patreon supporters: Following the Superstar performance, Kevin and I had an out-of-control live interview, including the most excitable, whirling dervish Q&A ever committed — where Kevin talked about everything from the creation of various Kids In The Hall sketches to his tragic high school rock band, to the night the Kids In The Hall had to bail Bruce out of jail after insulting a member of The Black Crowes. It was incredible! This episode is available to supporters of the Revolutions Per Movie Patreon over at patreon.com/revolutionspermovie. I hope you'll consider joining for $5 per month, to get the RPM 7” flexidisc and access to 117 exclusive bonus RPM episodes like this one.So prepare to rock out and laugh out loud at this unforgettable rock opera that showcases McDonald's signature offbeat humor and love of music, delivered in the way only he can.SOCIALS:@revolutionspermovieBlueSky: @revpermovieTHEME by Eyelids 'My Caved In Mind'www.musicofeyelids.bandcamp.com ARTWORK by Jeff T.

"I found a cheeky online piece where the author was using funny put downs to describe some popular bands. Tourist Rock. Ring Tone Rap. Yallternative. So I put it to the Facebook and received a much longer list. I call then Genre Insults and we have a bunch for you."
"I ran across an article that listed three songs that people listen to only to wait for just that one section. It mentioned the drum break in the Phil Collins song In the Air Tonight. I knew exactly what it was talking about and immediately had five examples from my own collection. I put it to Facebook and now I have a slew of examples."
"Major record companies are suing SUNO and Udio over song usage to create AI tunes. The one big thing the companies are looking for is a Walled Garden, the idea that what is created on SUNO will stay on SUNO. It cannot be taken and spread around. One company has already settled but it goes much deeper than that."
"I ran across an article listing musicians who are in both the Rock and the Country Halls of Fame. There aren't many. When I started looking into it further I found that the people on the list were in multiple other Halls of Fame as well. I wanted to find out what musician is in the most Halls. There is a clear winner."
"Luminate is a company that tracks the Entertainment Industry pointing out data analytics and trends. Their 2025 report has come out and it points to overall listenership being up. Listening to new music is way down. There are also some interesting data points regarding AI."
"The internet loves lists. The click bait ones often choose to list the worst of something and choose the best of it just to upset the audience for engagement. I can usually ignore these but this one really bugged me for some reason. I'll tell you the list and debunk it and offer some of mine."
"The Rockin 1000 is a project that started in Italy as gag to create a video of 1000 musicians playing Learn to Fly in order to get the Foo Fighters to come and put on a concert. It has since grown into full scale concerts across Europe. On January 31 the Rockin 1000 played their first concert in America, in New Orleans, and I was part of the band. Let me tell you the story."

"Every year I hear people complaining that the NFL makes lousy picks for the Super Bowl halftime show. If the picks are lousy then ratings must tank. But they do not. In fact the halftime show has never been better watched. We have a long list of ratings and demographics to show that the NFL seems to know what they are doing."
"We are coming into tax season so Tammy and will talk about paying the government. The HITS Act is now in full swing. Foreign governments are changing their tax codes for musicians and we also have a list of what you might not have known was tax deductible."
"In our New Year show we related an article that suggested that 3D spatial audio was going to be popular in 2026. Tammy asked for an explanation of 3D audio so here it is. We have examples of both new songs and classic music that has been remixed into a spatial audio format."

Det går ett rykte på stan. Det sägs att alla balla svenska översättningar av utländska hitlåtar redan är hittade. Att jakten är över och kartans sista vita fläckar är ifyllda. Men när du lyssnar på detta sjunde FÖRSVENSKAT!-avsnitt, märker du snart att det där är rent nys. Desinformation, till och med. För det finns alltid mer. Och än mer. Som vanligt försöker Martin Alarik och DJ 50 Spänn att bräcka varandra med ohörda och oerhörda svenska versioner av musik från andra språkområden. I år är menyn extra utbroderad. Här finns göteborgsk punk, östgötsk reggae, skånsk dub, entonig samba, andlig pop, varnande protestsång, ett Gainsbourg-experiment med helt nya svenska ord och ett exotiskt körarrangemang sjunget av barn från Södertälje. Och det fiffiga är att du slipper höra sång på trista språk som engelska, franska, portugisiska och annat onödigt. Det blir ju, som bekant, goare på svenska. Välkomna in! Avsnittets försvenskningar: Peps Persson vs Jah Sparring – Peps in Dub [12″, 2025] Låt: Ronny Dub Peps Persson vs Jah Sparring – Ronny Dub Våren 2025 släpptes white label-tolvan Peps in Dub av Jah Sparring, en skånsk DJ och producent som vet hur man hanterar en ekomaskin. Och eftersom vi alltid har älskat Ronny du e rå, alltså Peps Perssons försvenskning av The Slickers klassiker Johnny Too Bad, var det självklart att dubversionen fick sig en tur under nålen. Steampacket – En värld av visioner [7″, 1967] Mikael Ramel och medarbetarna i Steampacket gör en sofistikerad svensk version av The Turtles Happy Together. Kanske är En värld av visioner till och med bättre än originalet? Outsiders – S/T [LP, 2022] Låt: Valium (I Wanna Be Sedated) Ramones på äkta göteborgska! I Wanna Be Sedated översätts givetvis till Valium och det tackar vi Thomas, Stefan, Crippa och Paul i Outsiders för. Grästrot – Marley [LP, 2015] Låt: Asfaltsdjungel (Bob Marley – Concrete Jungle) Skärblacka-bandet Gräsrot släppte 2015 ett helt album med svenska Bob Marley-tolkningar, givetvis med baktakten intakt. Vårt val föll på Asfaltsdjungel, den östgöstska transponeringen av Concrete Jungle. Pippis – När tankarna kommer [LP, 1987] Låt: Ingenting kan hända nu (Starship – Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now) Ingen försvenskningsfest utan dansband! 1987 gjorde härjedalska Pippis Ingenting kan hända nu, en härligt synthig och svulstig försvenskning av Starships Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now. Björn Afzelius – En man, en röst, en gitarr [LP, 1988] Låt: Valet (Peggy Seeger – Song of Choice) Valet är en allvarsam översättning av Peggy Seegers Song of Choice, spelad från den lite mindre vanliga Björn Afzelius-plattan En man, en röst, en gitarr som släpptes på egna bolaget Rebelle 1988. Diverse artister – Musiknätet Waxholm 10 år [2xLP, 1979] Låt: KSMB – Torbjörns horor (The Who – My Generation) KSMB:s ursinniga Torbjörns horor snor riffen och energin från The Who-klassikern My Generation och lägger en egen och ursinnig svensk text ovanpå. Ni hittar den på proggbolaget MNW:s jubileumsdubbel från 1979. Bubs – Vinden ger svar / Midnight Special [7″, 1973] Låt: Vinden ger svar (Bob Dylan – Blowin’ in the Wind) Bob Dylans Blowin’ in the Wind blir Vinden ger svar på svenska, här i en oförglömlig version av Bubs, vinnarna i Södertälje Barnens Dags talangjakt 1973. Otrolig. Östen Warnerbring – S/T [LP, 1966] Låt: Yeah Yeah (Georgie Fame – Yeh Yeh) Yeah Yeah! Östen Warnerbring tar Georgie Fames Yeh Yeh och försvenskar den till en svängfest utan dess like. Ett måste i varje skivhylla. OBS! finns även på singel! Alf Robertson – Polarnas platta! [7″, 1979] Låt: Polarna, ett härligt lag (Kris Kristofferson – Me and Bobby McGee) Under Alf Robertsons wilderness years hände det att han gjorde peppiga låtöversättningar till svenska idrottsföreningar. Här förvandlas Kris Kristoffersons Me and Bobby McGee till ångermanländsk hockey-country. Jan Malmsjö – Jag söker ord / Du mitt liv [7″, 1971] Låt: Du mitt liv (George Harrison – My Sweet Lord) Det finns måhända tuffare försvenskningar av George Harrisons andliga popsång My Sweet Lord, men Jan Malmsjös Du mitt liv är förmodligen den mest dynamiska. Den går från viskning till orkan på bara en sextondels taktslag. Janne gör alltid sin grej till 100 procent. Respekt. Samuelsons – Vilken dag! [LP, 1978] Låt: Det är Jesus (Bonnie Tyler – It’s a Heartache) Bonnie Tylers världshit It’s a Heartache blir i frikyrklig svensk skrud Det är Jesus. Bröderna Samuelson kan få vilken låt som helst att handla om vår frälsare. Magnus – Brustanta (Dom bästa bitarna 2) [LP, 1977] Låt: Har vi glömt (Jimmy Cliff – You Can Get it If You Really Want) Magnus Orkester drabbades också av reggaefeber 1977. Här har de inspirerats av filmen The Harder They Come och försvenskar salig Jimmy Cliffs You Can Get it If You Really Want, som på svenska blir Har vi glömt. Carl-Henrik Norins Orkester – Carl-Henrik Bossa Novar! [7″, 1962] Låt: Liksom i min bossa nova (Antonio Carlos Jobim – One Note Samba) Sensationell försvenskning av Antonio Carlos Jobim-skapelsen One Note Samba av Carl-Henrik Norin med orkester. Årets fynd? Mira Ray – Sanndrömar [LP, 2025] Låt: Kontakt (Brigitte Bardot – Contact) Ytterligare en busfärsk och otippad försvenskning – Mira Ray sätter svensk text på Brigitte Bardots Contact, skriven av (vem annars?) Serge Gainsbourg. Kon-TAKT! Sky High – Säj nej … till kärnkraft / Säj ja … till livet [7″, 1980] Låt: Säg nej … till kärnkraft (Earl King – Come On (Let The Good Times Roll)) Earl Kings Come On (Let the Good Times Roll) plockades upp av Jimi Hendrix och långt senare förvandlades den till svenskspråkig anti-kärnkraft-rökare av Claes Yngström och Sky High. Gitarrstärkaren är farligt nära härdsmälta. Mia Alasjö – The Old River / Förlåt mig min vän [7″, 1978] Låt: Förlåt mig min vän (The Searchers – Needles and Pins) The Searchers (och många andras) klassiker Needles and Pins i svensk version av Mia Alasjö och Staffan Runius: Förlåt mig min vän. Ttevligt släpp på legendariska etiketten Efel. Dan Hylander & Raj Montana Band – … Om änglar o sjakaler [LP, 1984] Låt: Fjärran står hjulen stilla (Beatles – Across the Universe) Dan Hylander och Raj Montana Band under deras imperial phase. The Beatles Across the Universe, försvenskad till Fjärran står hjulen stilla. Kosmisk och skånsk på samma gång. GILLAR DU VAD HÖR? DJ 50 Spänn är en fri och oberoende podd. Här finns ingen reklam.

"This is the first show of our annual Christmas double header. We did a show years back that looked at the history and trivia of classic Christmas Carols.

Celebrate the December birthday of the late, great jazz organist Jimmy Smith by listening to his recordings with the Avenue jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery. Jimmy Smith was born in Norristown, Pennsylvania, in 1928. He began his career on piano before switching to the organ in the early 1950s, developing a revolutionary sound that blended bebop and blues with deep gospel roots. In 1956, Smith signed with Blue Note Records, where he quickly became a sensation with groundbreaking albums like The Sermon, Back at the Chicken Shack, and Midnight Special. Today, Jimmy Smith is recognized as one of the most influential musicians in the history of jazz—and the most important figure in establishing the Hammond B-3 organ as a leading instrument in the genre. Jimmy Smith performed on Indiana Avenue in 1961 at the Pink Poodle nightclub. But his strongest connection to Naptown came in 1966, when he entered the studio with guitarist Wes Montgomery. Those sessions produced two albums: Jimmy & Wes: The Dynamic Duo and The Further Adventures of Jimmy and Wes. At the time, Jimmy Smith and Wes Montgomery were two of the most recognizable instrumental voices in jazz, each with a massive audience of devoted listeners. Expectations were high for their collaboration. Jazz fans were not disappointed. Jimmy and Wes shared a rare chemistry in the studio, and critics have since cited these sessions as some of the finest recordings of Jimmy Smith's career.

"The number changes, but as of the writing of this description, only 1883 songs have topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart including all its earlier versions. This week back in 1990, the first rap song topped the chart. That got me wondering how many other firsts and other interesting facts surround the top spot. Here is a list."
"The NOW CDs, as they are often called, started in the UK in 1998 with Richard Branson. They were a hit out of the gate, each crafted to a specific formula. They are a professionally made mix tape. We have the full history and a good bit of trivia about the series."
"Cryptozoology is the study of a creature that probably doesn ot exist. Think Bigfoot. What is great about it is that every state seems to have its own monster.

"Many music outlets noticed there was no traditional Summer Song this year. No poppy dance tune that rose to the top of the charts. The Billboard Summer Song chart claimed a number one but it was a down tempo ballad. We will explore what happened and why."
