Podcasts about The Monkees

An ode to the horniest group of short kings since The Monkees. Sugar, we're going down! Me and Ashley's Fall Out Boy Hate F**k playlistAshley's podcast Good Noticings Patrick Stump's upsetting op-ed Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on Friends Talking Nerdy, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd swing from ‘60s pop brilliance to modern digital chaos with their signature mix of heart, humor, and deep nerdery.First up, the duo dives headfirst into their 12 favorite songs from The Monkees — a band that began as a TV creation and evolved into something genuinely magical. Expect stories, laughter, and a surprising amount of reverence for an underrated catalog that includes classics like Last Train to Clarksville, I'm A Believer, (I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone, Daydream Believer, and deeper cuts like Porpoise Song and Me and Magdalena. The Professor and Tim wax nostalgic about the band's legacy, the genius of Michael Nesmith, and how The Monkees managed to sneak counterculture weirdness into bubblegum pop.Next, they drift across the pond to talk about their new favorite binge: the BBC series Ghosts. It's witty, heartfelt, and absolutely packed with charm — much like this very podcast. The pair trade laughs over their favorite spectral roommates, discuss the show's mix of history and humor, and lament that American remakes rarely capture that British balance of clever and cozy chaos.Finally, Tim the Nerd takes aim at YouTube's newest headache: the platform's “Restricted Mode” being switched on by default. He argues that while keeping kids safe is essential, burying creators' content behind algorithmic walls isn't the way to do it. There's a lively discussion about digital gatekeeping, the illusion of choice online, and how creators who use a few choice swear words shouldn't be punished like they're smuggling contraband.From Pleasant Valley Sunday to online policy outrage, Friends Talking Nerdy Episode 432 is a mix of pop nostalgia, media critique, and unabashed enthusiasm for all things weird and wonderful.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Steel guitarist and country music historian Pete Finney joins me on the show this week.I got to know Pete's playing when I'd go and see Chris' Scruggs' band The Stone Fox Five out in the parking lot of the East Nashville Legion during Covid. They'd put on a well-distanced weekly show that was my only live music for a couple of years! I loved Pete's soulful playing and got to learn more about his interesting history, mostly on the pedal steel guitar, playing for all kinds of country legends - artists like Reba McIntyre, The Judds, Vince Gill, The Chicks, The Monkees and lots more. Pete has a unique style, and while he has clearly absorbed the classic country sounds, he doesn't sound like anyone else. Pete's path from the DC area playing almost every night in country bars, to Austin to play with Doug Sahm, to his move to Nashville in the 80's is an interesting one, and Pete has carved out an incredible career in that time. Lately, Pete has also taken on the role of historian, and had a big hand in producing the Country Music Hall Of Fame's “Dylan, Cash and The Nashville Cats” exhibit, which was one of the best collections of 60's and 70's country music stories, exhibits and paraphernalia ever put on display. Pete is a well loved Nashville icon and plays around town with many different artists. He has no website or social media, so you'll have to just keep your ear to the ground about where to see himj play if you're in Nashville, but don't miss your chance if you get it!Enjoy my conversation with Pete Finney.This season is brought to you by our main sponsors Larivée Guitars, Audeze, Izotope, FabFilter, and Chase Bliss.

This week, Donnie speaks with Ryan Posner, a Los Angeles-based bass player, side man and musical director, about balancing his home and professional life, how to define country music, why it is important to push art forward and how bass players make great dads. They dive deep into the value of his current project, the nearly weekly Y'all Star Revue, a showcase at the original Desert 5 Spot in Hollywood. This event highlights the best local and touring country music talent who are on the verge of breaking out. Show Notes1:50 -- Ryan's origin story: From a 16-year-old rocker to figuring out playing country music right before the pandemic. He tells Donnie that his first concert was Willie Nelson at age five and his second concert was Weird Al opening for the Monkees in the early 1980s -- which really summarized his musical existence. Until he watched Ken Burns' Country Music documentary.6:38 -- Bass players make great dads: Ryan has always been attracted, and it seems that the Country Music Dads are attracted to bass players. Perhaps the kind of person who likes to play bass is also the kind of person who wants to be a dad. 8:58 -- How do you truly balance the parenting? Being honest is a good start. 10:40 -- What is The Y'all Star Revue, and what is the impact of this program on country music?17:25 -- What is real country music? Ryan ends the debate of what country music is and what it is not. His platform is to share new music with new audiences. 20:19 -- Freedom from Choice: Ryan hopes that his new curated platform can help bring so many different kinds of music together to help develop a new experience outside of the over-saturation of the Los Angeles music scene. He prefers “freedom from choice” rather than “freedom of choice.” 22:19 -- More Debate on What Makes Real Country Music: But does this kind of platform push country music too far? Ryan says no. There is no line too far. Country music evolves just like every other kind of music, and the only person who can define “real” country music for that person is that person. 30:55 -- The Dad Life Sound Check: Ryan brings “Funny How Time Slips Away” by Willie Nelson, and Donnie talked about Waylon's “Songbird.”38:15 -- THE LIGHTNING ROUND, which gets completely derailed by the last question about the one concert you could attend at any time.

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives.  In this episode, we feature the next entry in The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series. It's Chuck's chat with Larry Knechtel, the Wrecking Crew keyboard player and bassist who—along with Brian Wilson & The Beach Boys—has worked with Simon & Garfunkel, Duane Eddy, The Mamas & The Papas, The Monkees, The Doors, The Byrds, The Grass Roots, Elvis Presley, Jerry Garcia, and Billy Joel. He also was a key member of the band Bread. Larry passed away a few years later in 2009, which makes this posthumously released “Chuck Chat” yet another priceless buried treasure.   Here are just a few of the many things that Larry discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: What he ascertained early on as a studio musician's average career length, which then led to a healthy fear of his phone no longer ringing; His legendary work on Simon & Garfunkel's “Bridge Over Troubled Water”; Besides Brian, the only Beach Boy he says his fellow studio musicians ever saw in the studio along with them; The curse of having perfect pitch; And his friendship with Jim Gordon…not to mention the fate of the 50+ hours of jam tapes that he recorded with him, which included spoken ruminations on what was bugging Jim at the time.  There'll be a short sneak peak running publicly for free, but the entirety of this podcast will only be accessible on the Major Tier of Discograffiti's Patreon. Don't miss it, or you'll only be getting part of the story. Get it as a one-off, or better yet just subscribe…and then we'll all have world peace.

In episode 210 I dive into the history of the 60 year hit, (I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone. Made famous as a B Side to the Monkee's debut album in 1966. But the song has an amazing history to it and even now is still a cultural staple as Micky Dolenz the last member of the Monkees continues to sing the song today.

Hey hey it's my podcast.

At the peak of their popularity, The Monkees released their only feature film. Virtually no one saw it. Perhaps it was because the movie was a deliberate subversion of their popular show, or maybe it was due to a bizarre marketing strategy, but this week all we care about is what the movie did well.

Joining host Michael Azevedo on this episode is Jonathan Berman, director of the newly restored documentary "Commune." Originally released in 2005, the film has been newly restored with vibrant sound and picture quality and is currently making the rounds at movie houses across the US.    Commune chronicles the story of Black Bear Ranch, launched in 1968 with help from luminaries like The Doors, Frank Zappa, and The Monkees. This abandoned goldmine transformed into a hub for radical living, fueled by the motto "Free Land for Free People."   The film is packed with rare interviews—including with well-know actor and frequent documentary narrator Peter Coyote—as well as home movies and candid stories that unpack the contradictions, challenges, and wild hope behind the commune movement.   From free love and experiments in co-parenting, to the practical struggles of survival, "Commune" lets viewers consider what it really takes to build, and sustain, genuine community.   Learn more about screenings near you: https://www.opensignalstudios.com/films/commune   Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum.

Okay, lets you and him fight! In shameless pursuit of ‘brand synergy,' this episode of Casual Trek celebrates the return of Strange New Worlds to our streaming services by doing an episode about those lizardy bastards Kirk fought once at those rocks from Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, the Gorn! In ‘Arena,' Kirk fights a string vest wearing space lizard while Spock watches and provides inane commentary (hey Spock-o, that's OUR job) and then in the Strange New Worlds Season 2 finale and Season 3 opener ‘Hegemony Parts 1 and 2' Pike spends more time hiding and less time building rudimentary cannons, Spock and Chapel play a little Alien Isolation and Ortegas loses herself in the job… Bogus. Episodes discussed: Arena (07:20) and Hegemony Parts 1 and 2 (38:27)Talking Points include: American Family Reunions, Donkey Kong Bananza, young Tom Jones is weird looking and The Monkees are great, Oh no not another Godlike being, Vasquez Rocks, everyone got tinnitus making this episode, Charlie's time as a scout, Miles has a legitimate reason to bring up ‘Blake's 7,' they tried to build the cannon on Mythbusters… it did not go well, we're not Trying That in a Small Town but we finally listen to The Mountain Goats for the show! Pike's brief moment of religious crisis is weird, Strange New Worlds' making the Gorn so monstrous clashes with how it went down in ‘Arena', Alien Isolation, the nature of ‘Good' and ‘Evil' members of various Star Trek races and how the idea the Gorn might be biologically evil might not be a great look for Trek.

On the special episode of Right Between The Eyes, RBTE lets  ⁨@roguerecordmusic⁩  takes over the feed in a double YouTube upload crossover episode.   Its been a rough summer for RBTE, Rob addresses the lack of content and the state of RBTE.

In this episode, Nathan sits down with documentary filmmaker Jonathan Berman to discuss the newly restored 20th anniversary release of his 2005 film Commune—a fascinating portrait of Black Bear Ranch, a real-life countercultural commune founded in 1968 with help from rock legends like The Doors, Frank Zappa and The Monkees.Together, they explore the ideals and contradictions of communal living, what it means to build something outside the system and why Commune feels more relevant than ever in today's fractured world. Jonathan shares the behind-the-scenes journey of tracking down former residents, preserving decades-old archival footage and telling a story that still sparks conversation and curiosity.Whether you're drawn to the 1960s counterculture, alternative living experiments or just love thoughtful documentary filmmaking—this is a conversation worth tuning into.Watch the film / Learn more: communethemovie.comFollow the film on Instagram: @communethemovie More from Jonathan Berman: OpenSignalStudios.comRead Nathan's thoughts on ‘Commune.'Support the podcast: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/moviesarelife

“I like the Pickwick score, it's robust and British. I've often been offered parts in American musicals but I've always turned them down. No matter how good they are, I always feel they are not part of us. That's why I waited and thought of this idea of making a musical of ‘Pickwick.” - Harry Secombe, 1963.And so the idea was realised, based on the 1837 Charles Dickens novel The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, better known simply as The Pickwick Papers. Harry got the idea for the musical while on holiday in the Bahamas, inspired by the success of Oliver! The writer Wolf Mankowitz agreed to turn it into a musical but faced the considerable challenge of condensing the 250,000words and loosely-linked anecdotes from the original novel into a workable stage production. He eventually decided to use the Pickwick-Bardell breach of promise action as a basic skeleton from which to hang the two-act musical adaptation. Pickwick premiered in Manchester in summer 1963 and as well as Secombe as the titular rotundity featured the likes of Anton Rodgers, Julian Orchard, Hilda Braid, Peter Bull and Norman Rossington among the cast.It swiftly transferred to the West End and two years later opened in the United States. Some of the original British cast reprised their roles (obviously including Harry) but Charlotte Rae came on board as Mrs Bardell and a young scapegrace called Davy Jones took up the part of Sam Weller. The story is he was spotted and signed up for The Monkees during this, and was subsequently replaced by the great Roy Castle. An original cast recording was released on LP in 1963 and in 1969 the BBC broadcast a 90-minute colour adaptation of the musical, adapted for the screen by James Gilbert and Jimmy Grafton. It reunited Secombe with Roy Castle and Julian Orchard and introduced us to Hattie Jacques as Mrs Bardell, Aubrey Woods as Mr Jingle and Robert Dorning as Tupman.This week returning guest Tim Worthington talks all things Pickwick but as you would expect with someone like Tim the conversation is wide-ranging and he pulls many a thread from the tapestry of sixties popular culture!

ONE IF BY LAND, TWO IF BY SEAPAUL REVERE AND THE RAIDERS GREATEST HITS by Paul Revere and the Raiders (Columbia, 1967)This group, this record: they were fundamental elements in the experience of the 13 year old Captain Billy. My band, The Full House, played a smokin' cover of “Steppin' Out”; Dick Clark's WHERE THE ACTION IS tv show was a can't miss, daily after-middle school check in; I coveted those Vox amps and Mark Lindsay's ponytail. And, re-listening to this setlist 56 years later verifies that this band kicked hard and tight. Just ask Quentin Tarantino, who included two of the cuts for the soundtrack of ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD. America's answer to the British Invasion actually started earlier, in 1958, in Boise Idaho, when keyboardist Paul Revere and sax player Mark Lindsay met and collaborated in the instrumental group The Downbeats. Revere was the organist's actual name, so the subsequent donning of Revolutionary outfits was a natural, if cringey gimmick. The fact that Mark Lindsay was also one of America's best rock singers was a secret weapon.The initial bombshell was dropped in April, 1963, in Portland, Oregon, when the group recorded the seminal rock standard “Louie Louie” in the same year and the same studio as the Kingsmen (the version everybody remembers): The Northwestern Motion Pictures and Sound Recordings, Inc. studio. But, that didn't matter. Yes, The Kingsmen's recording was a one hit mega-wonder, but, the Raiders became a national institution with a string of 12 top 30 hits. The first incarnation of the Raiders dissolved around the same time that this collection came out, but they kept reforming in various line ups until Revere's death from cancer in 2014. Like their contemporaries, The Monkees, there was a media hyped, manufactured quality (Producer Terry Melcher fattened their sound with the help of The Wrecking Crew), but the Raider's street cred as musicians was impeccable, and very few could wail like Mark Lindsay. 

We’re speeding through the final lap of season 6, and not even the return of an archeologist / treasure hunter ex-husband can slow us down! The gang analyzes a throwback romp that includes a classic Cory and Shawn scheme and a member of *NSYNC offending one of the Monkees off-camera. Rider remembers some weird vibes on set that week, but it doesn’t stop him from giving us a lesson in bee science.

Today on another brand new episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast we have a first in our history. We bring you the first ever, three part episode. Our guest today is Peter Rafelson, son of director Bob Rafelson. Admittedly, we sort of lied to you on because there really wasn't going to be a third episode. But after our chat with Peter on the first two episodes, we decided there was more to discuss and we bring you the result. It's a fun one too. On this episode, we discuss Peter's remembrances of his father's favorite LA restaurants – from Dan Tana's to The Cock and Bull, Hamburger Hamlet and a mob joint at the end of Sunset whose name is lost to the mists of time. Somehow this turns into a discussion about visiting the Playboy Mansion in elementary school, dressing in drag while dining for a very specific purpose and sneaking into a nude stage production at age nine. Clearly, the Wild Child we discussed in prior episodes still has stories to tell us that will delight and amaze you. From there we learn about what kind of car his father drove and why he (and his mom) got a new one every year. Thank you Colgems! We segue from here to Peter's own career in music and a discussion about the most unlikely place he met a member of Fleetwood Mac who recorded a song of his, watching Madonna clear the hall of Teamsters before a surprise appearance on network television, meeting Prince in the rafters of a private home, playing piano alongside Burt Bacharach on a piano bench, driving Babs home after a one take recording and so much more. We really hope that our white lie was worth it and you enjoy the first ever three part interview on the Rarified Heir Podcast with Peter Rafelson. As you know, everyone has a story. This one just has three parts. Take a listen. 

A charming song by one of our favorite songwriters, and a band that carved out its place in history, and the cover where everyone realized the world had changed in an important way. Different Drum, originally by the Greenbriar Boys, covered by Stone Poneys.  Outro music is Papa Gene's Blues, by The Monkees, because we don't often get to share a song where Mike Nesmith is credited as the lead vocalist. 

Today on part two of our conversation on the Rarified Heir Podcast, this episode continues our conversation with Peter Rafelson, son of director and producer Bob Rafelson. Recorded the week after part one, this episode delves into some pretty heavy as well as some pretty of the wall stuff. And as you have heard on part one, it seems like that was par for the course in the Rafelson household in the 1960s and 1970s. As one of the leading figures in the American New Wave filmmakers, Bob Rafelson was responsible for producing or directing some classic, seminal films that influenced generations of film makers. It's quite a resume including films like The Postman Always Rings Twice, Head, The Last Picture Show, Easy Rider, The King of Marvin Gardens, Mountains of the Moon, a film we discuss at length, Stay Hungry as well as an unfortunately named anthology, Porn.com. Beginning with Davy Jones, we also discuss what each member of The Monkees was like off camera, how he spent the Summer of 1975 pumping iron with Arnold Schwarzenegger in Alabama, his role in the Alan Parker movie Fame, how the magazine Psychology Today saved his bacon growing up as a kid and everything in between. We discuss dyslexia, smoking pot with your teachers, trade school, working with his dad scoring a film and much more. So get ready for part two of our conversation with guest Peter Rafelson and learn what it was like having The Monkees instruments in his basement for years after the show ended its run. It's up next on part two of our conversation with the son of an Easy Rider or a Raging Bull. We're just not sure which one it was. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story.

My guests today are the filmmaker Jonathan Berman, director of "Commune", Elliott Sharp, the film's composer, and one of its producers, Christian Ettinger. In 1968, two hippies hiking near Mt. Shasta in Northern California stumbled across an unlikely property for sale: an abandoned goldmine and surrounding land, 300 acres for $22,000. Fueled by contributions from the Doors, the Monkees, Frank Zappa and others, they bought the property and named it Black Bear Ranch. It quickly became the prototypical 1960s commune, with the motto “Free Land for Free People.” Utopian communities have always been a part of the United States, but in the 60's and 70's their audacious goal was to reshape the world with free love and common property – creating a revolutionary movement that would spread to the rest of society. But utopia is different for each person, and these experiments often brought strife, jealousy and sometimes even endangered lives. Featuring interviews with several Black Bear alumni, including actor/activist Peter Coyote, alongside a wealth of photographs and home movies, this acclaimed documentary offers a candid look into the joys and difficulties of free love, nude farming, survival in the wilderness, multiple-parent childrearing and other fascinating aspects of communal living. "Commune" is enjoying a new theatrical release based on its recent 4K restoration. It will be screening at DCTV's Firehouse Cinema beginning Friday, July 11th.

Today on part one of the latest episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast we are speaking with musician, producer, entrepreneur and much more Peter Rafelson. Son of director and producer Bob Rafelson & production designer Toby Carr, Peter spent this episode really digging deep and getting into some intense as well as humorous stuff about growing up the son of an easy rider. Or is that a member of The Monkees? No matter. We get into it all and then some on this episode. Fans of the sixties and seventies counterculture will know the work of Bob Rafelson for his associations with very specific touchstones of American film and television thar forever changed the course of the entertainment industry. From The Monkees to Easy Rider, from Five Easy Pieces to The Last Picture Show, Bob Rafelson along with partners Bert Schneider & Steve Blauner ushered in a new wave of independent film in Hollywood that smashed convention as well as the studio system. Along with writer, star and co-hort Jack Nicholson, Bob Rafelson directed films like The King of Marvin Gardens, Stay Hungry, The Postman Always Rings Twice and many more. Bob Rafelson was in the epicenter of films that brought an independent streak to a staid industry and never looked back. Our conversation with Peter centered around the growing up too fast where he learned about drugs, revolution and the FBI is one for the ages. Along the way we talk about Madonna, Abbie Hoffman, The Black Panthers, Dennis Hopper, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sally Field, how he ended up with the Monkees instruments in his bedroom and the death of his sister under troubling circumstances. Ladies and gentlemen, we bring you part one of the latest episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast with guest, Peter Rafelson. Take a listen.

Susie went to a Micky Dolenz of the Monkees concert, and the next day a stranger stopped her at the grocery store to make a comment about something Susie did at the show. We learn why medical professionals and workers at senior facilities are being trained to stop using "elderspeak" with their patients. They say that the baby talk and cutesy language infantilizes older folks and causes greater resistance to care and more anti-psychotic prescriptions. We discuss the Carter family documentary and hear how the stardom of their sons Aaron and Nick contributed to strife, addiction, and death in the family. We talk about a man who intentionally injected himself with snake venom and willingly let snakes bite him hundreds of times with the hope of becoming immune to their poison, and somehow, someway, he actually did it. And he might end up being responsible for creating a universal anti-venom. We debate whether the Pulitzer prize-winning photo of the Vietnam War victim "Napalm Girl," who is running naked after being burned, should be allowed on social media or if it's pornographic.LIVE TRIVIA NIGHT: MAY 22nd 8PM - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/LiveListen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comBCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:For 20% off your order, head to https://www.harvesthosts.com and use code BRAINCANDY.Use code BRAINCANDY at https://cozyearth.com for 40% off best-selling sheets, pajamas, and more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
