The compact 9-track, 31-minute project on Atlantic Records delivers a ballad-heavy, mid-1970s retro-soul vibe with strong Motown and Philly soul influences, emphasizing slow-dance romance and timeless dancing.Launch day dominated US Spotify: lead single "I Just Might" (January 2026 Hot 100 #1, Grammy-performed) jumped to #3, while "Risk It All"—a Latin-influenced bolero ballad with mariachi trumpets, violins, guitarrón, and vihuela—debuted at #1 with 2.32 million streams. "Cha Cha Cha" (#6) and "God Was Showing Off" (#8) joined for 4 Top 10 entries, plus 8 in the Top 20 total."Risk It All" music video (co-directed by Mars and Daniel Ramos) features a wedding narrative in a vintage Catholic church, mariachi band, all-white suit and cowboy hat, "Just Married" exit, and life montage—perfect for Latin crossover appeal, backed by co-signs from Rancho Humilde, Fuerza Regida's JOP, and Ivan Cornejo.Critical takes praise vocal prowess, cohesive aesthetic, and authentic vintage textures, though some note cliché lyrics and limited depth compared to Silk Sonic's collaborative energy.Promotion included The Romantic Flower Shop pop-up in LA with free flowers, photo ops, merch, and global "love lock" walls. The Romantic Tour kicks off April 2026 in Las Vegas, featuring Anderson .Paak (as DJ Pee .Wee) on all dates, plus Victoria Monét, RAYE, and Leon Thomas on select shows across North America and Europe.Analytic Dreamz analyzes the streaming explosion, Latin fusion strategy, multi-generational wedding/slow-dance potential, and Bruno's enduring pop dominance post-2025 hits like "APT." and "Die With a Smile."Tune in for the full unfiltered review on Analytic Dreamz—hip-hop and pop culture insights.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/exclusive-contentPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This playlist is 63% vinyl friendly. Very poor. The Vertere DG-1 Dynamic Groove. One commentator queried whether ‘the design wandered in the direction of form over function‘, but this, the company’s entry level version, was voted in What Hi-Fi‘s updated 2025 ‘20 very best turntables of (the magazine’s) lifetime‘… but it had detractors elsewhere. My first thought was ‘sandwich’ and lo and behold the review mentions the plinth’s ‘three layers of acrylic reinforced with a steel chassis to give a rigid yet well-damped structure‘ with that middle layer, from a distance, reminding me of some marbled cheese. Near £2k for one standard version spotted on eBay and £3550 for a DG-1S updated model, with a bullet pointed spec to match. When you get up to these prices (and way, way beyond) manufacturers are duty bound to work overtime to justify their prices. NB: Apologies. A bit of a glitch in recording my parts for this show but they just about do the job. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms tweak/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a bit dodgy, quality-wise. On top of that, the switch between different decades and production values never helps in the mix here. Lyric of Playlist 149 On another day and in another frame of mind it could have gone to Baby Rose but much aided by a gorgeous key change backdrop, the gold star sticker goes to Banderas! It’s hard to tell though if their ‘There is no rehearsal. No second chance. No false start. No better circumstances… ‘ words of wisdom would change much with the type of peeps in their video. 00.00 (Intro) THE FLAMINGOS – Stars (Edit) – Unreleased demo – 1983. Episode #1 for info. 00.41 NEW ORDER – Doubts Even Here (Instrumental) (Cargo Demo) (2019 Remaster) – Movement, Definitive Edition Boxset – Warner Music – 2023 Doubts Even Hear? I should coco, and if you want ‘tentative’ in your music then this has it in shed loads. My guess is this maybe wasn’t Hooky’s first stab at the track in the band’s rehearsal room but you can nearly hear him finding his way into and over the ARP Quadra’s strings. 05.15 COCTEAU TWINS – Road River and Rail (Live) – Stream only – 2026 Live in 1991 but only very recently uploaded to the net, a mixing desk recording from The Warfield, in San Francisco and a rare treat to hear Liz this clear in a gig setting. At your leisure, search out the rest of the gig. There’s no visual from the above show, so here’s a barely rescued – but previously unseen/unpublished – photo of mine. Liz and Simon soundchecking at Newcastle’s Tiffany’s, 19.4.84. Photo credit / copyright: Dec Hickey 08.37 JOHN CALE – Thoughtless Kind (M:FANS) – M:FANS, 2LP – Double Six – 2016 A pedestrian, sledgehammer beat and a more forceful take on the lyrics than found in the ex-Velvet Underground man’s original. To my ears, they’re better suited here. 13.59 EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER – Take A Pebble * – Emerson, Lake & Palmer, LP – Island – 1970 I bought this album maybe four or five years after release and without doubt after having heard maybe just one of the three tracks on it I had taken to. I wouldn’t have been listening to any radio that might have played this album, so I’m guessing I borrowed it from a mate – very likely Phil Harris or Tom Locke (RIP). Greg Lake’s vocals were the thing for me back then and on my National Panasonic SG-1070L I’d have skipped Keith Emerson’s often lengthy rock-orchestral leaning keyboard workouts from all three… and likewise it’s a massive edit on the show for Take A Pebble. 17.33 BABY ROSE – Stop The Bleeding – Through And Through, LP – Secretly Canadian – 2023 If I thought the vibrato in Baby Rose’s vocal on the last 41 Rooms’ show entry (‘Go’) reminded me of Anonhi/Antony and the Johnsons then this does so with knobs on… as it maybe sounds even more of a song and arrangement the latter could have penned. 21.17 A RACE OF ANGELS – Golden – Broadcast No. 1, CD only – Luv Classics – 2005 It’s not often a CD gets a visual look in on 41 Rooms but the majority of Broadcast No. 1’s tracks have been or are on course for inclusion… and there was no vinyl. A 21st century left field folk soul beaut. Saluting Yeofi Andoh once again. 23.56 KRAFTWERK – Boing Boom Tschak * – Electric Cafe, LP – Kling Klang / EMI – 1986 The German maestros with some playful mid ’80s electro. Who else could it be? 27.01 BESIDE (with BERNARD FOWLER) – Odeon (Dance Mix) – 12″ – Celluloid – 1984 In 1984 the only place I’d have heard this was on John Peel’s radio shows – and he was partial to some electro. With the other side playlisted on 41 Rooms years ago, that would make this Afrika Bambaataa-produced 12″ a bargain to me these days, at less than the price of a pint on Discogs. Back in 1984, ordering it on import from Bedford’s HMV (as I did) its £5.29 price tag would seemingly have between five and ten pints plus worth! 32.37 MIDNIGHT STAR – Midas Touch (Vocal Extended Remix) – 12″ – Solar – 1986 With Electro roots, some breezy mid ’80s glitzy dance which has aged far better than – ‘Look away now’ (or don’t look at all) – the clothes and hair in the video. 38.42 ROZALLA – Born To Luv Ya – 12″ – Pulse-8 – 1990 At some point, when I do get to wade through the Record Mirror‘s I have from the the late ’80s/early ’90s I’d put a quiet fiver on the late James Hamilton having used ‘bubbling’ in a review of this particular mix of the tune. Par for the course lyrics but given some decent beats Rozalla has a voice that more than matches. 43.00 THOMAS LEER – Forgive and Forget – 1982, CD only – Klanggalerie – 2015 When I first happened on the 1982 CD recordings I thought Leer had re-found his youthful energy in the ‘now’. It’s in the title, Dec… so, a ‘series of tracks for unreleased album circa 1982‘ states the man himself. That would put them around the time of his Letter From America and Contradictions EPs but way before the ‘pop’ album, The Scale Of Ten. Forgive and Forget is though definitely a dry run for that album’s belter, Control Yourself. 47.23 MINT ROYALE – I Don’t Care – See You In The Morning, CD only – Faith & Hope Records Limited – 2005 Aagghh, it’s another CD… but needs must, as no vinyl surfaced and by this point Neil Claxton was flying solo as Mint Royale. 51.48 OSCAR FARRELL (feat SAMPHA) – Dream Therapy (George FitzGerald remix) – Download only – ? – 2026 The So Far South EP original rightly has many admirers but I’m more with this moodier take. Screenshot 55.22 NOSTALGIX – Mess With Me – Download only – Confession – 2019 Out of Vancouver, British Columbia, she seems through the years to have occasionally just digitally floated singular tracks out there. 58.32 SUICIDE – Ghost Rider – Self-titled, LP – Red Star Records – 1977 There’d be a bunch of my early ’80s mates who’d have gone for the album but it’s only this track that grabbed me. 01.01.01 CABARET VOLTAIRE – Nag Nag Nag (Live 2025 Single Edit) – Download only (for now) – Mute – 2026 ‘Updating’ and then capturing – just ‘right’ – this classic track’s first live outing in forty five or so years could have gone wrong but all involved nailed it, and seeing as I caught four of the Cabs’ six gigs last year there’s a good chance I was in on this actual recording. In fact, given the advances in sound technology Nag is likely sounding better in the room than it would have done live back in 1979-82… something I never witnessed. 01.05.10 THE SOUND – Heartland (Mike Read session, 1980) – The BBC Recordings – 2CD only – Renascent – 2004 If Adrian Borland and crew were pushing for a radio session in their early throws (who wasn’t) I’d have thought John Peel would have got in there first. The band did subsequently do a Peel session but here Mike Read edged it and the band were firing. 01.08.19 JOY DIVISION – Warsaw – An Ideal For Living, 7″ EP – Enigma – 1978 I never owned this original 7″ but somewhere around 1980-81 and through the back pages of the inkie press I bought the subsequent 12″ from an ‘MJ’ in Crewe who reckoned in an enclosed note he’d leant Steve Morris £60 to pay for the sleeves. When I sold the single years later I thought I’d kept the note… but if I did, it then went AWOL. 01.10.40 TURNSTILE – Dreaming – Never Enough, LP – Roadrunner – 2025 They’ve eased up here on their early hardcore leanings which might go some way to why this tune gets a thumbs up from me and those who take occasionally take a punt on an album because of the sleeve could still be in for a shock. 01.13.00 TV21 – Ideal Way Of Life – A Thin Red Line, LP – Deram – 1981 Other tracks on the album have already graced 41 Rooms as indeed they did back in Winkles in 1981-82. 01.15.27 THE TEARDROP EXPLODES – Went Crazy – Kilimanjaro, LP – Mercury – 1980 Julian in 1980. Sounding ‘quirky pop’ in 2026? 01.18.03 NATURAL SCIENTIST – See Through You – 7″ – Dental Records – 1982 Even though I bought their Terminal Velocity debut 12″ at the time, this their follow up somehow by-passed me for four decades 01.22.07 IRMA THOMAS – My Heart’s In Memphis – My Heart’s In Memphis – The Songs Of Dan Penn, CD only – Rounder Records – 2000 Criminally, only seven thousand plus peeps have ever viewed the fan video online of Irma on an outside stage, live in New Orleans from 2003 and I nearly went with its muffled sound here, as the more she gets in to the song the more she really lives it. 01.25.53 STEVIE WONDER – (I) Don’t Know Why (I Love You) – 7″ – Tamla Motown – 1968-9 For the UK release Motown couldn’t quite make up there mind on the title – but this stark outpouring and arrangement is still a killer, even though it was maybe trumped for radio play by the lusher, romantic appeal of the b-side, My Cherie Amour. 01.28.25 MT JONES – I Don’t Understand – Joy, LP – ? – 2026 New(ish) blue-eyed retro soul with as much effort on the visual. A fab single but I’ve got a feeling an album of his accentuated vocal might be too much for me. We’ll see. 01.31.49 WILLIE HUTCH – Hurt So Bad – Season For Love, LP – RCA – 1970 Before his switch to maybe his more spiritual Brother’s Gonna Work It Out home of Motown. 01.34.39 BANDERAS – This Is Your Life (PanoΣigma Edit) – Stream only – ? – 2019 Just the one album, squarely aimed at the mainstream, and some cerebral tunes from these two shaven-headed girls. I’m not sure how much the decent lyrics and sumptuous key change helped but this was their biggest UK hit. Even in the sometimes throwaway nature of ‘pop’ charts, quality will out. 01.39.36 DIANA BROWN & BARRIE K SHARPE – Eating Me Alive * – 12″ – FFRR – 1992 ‘Weaving together many different dance music sounds of the late sixties/early seventies, including such as vintage Jackson 5 and Norman Whitfield era Temptations, Timmy Thomas beats and Chicago Transit Authority guitar chords (“I’m a man, yes I am, and I love you so”), this brilliant intensely driving jiggly chugger has been promoed as a twinpack with 0-104.7-0bpm Undisputed Mix Part 1 & Part II, 0-104.7bpm Original Groundbeat, 0-105.25-0bpm Funky Funky Sugar Heavy Groundbeat Mix, 0-105.4bpm One Trip Too Many Mix, more recently influenced grooving 115.8-0bpm Groundbeat House Ensemble/Instrumental, hi-hat hustled 118.7bpm Undercover Dub Mix 1 and 118.6bpm Undercover Dub Mix 2, Dianamite!‘ – James Hamilton, Record Mirror (Music Week), 20.6.92 Any time I re-edit etc I really should remember the source of the original… and there’s a heavy 41 Rooms re-edit going on here. Whatever. James Hamilton’s ‘vintage Jackson 5’ reference is spot on and the bridges and chorus are so strong they make the verses sound absolutely tepid. Weird. 01.45.08 RHYTHIM IS RHYTHIM – Strings Of Life (‘Original Piano Mix’) – 12″ – Transmat – 1987 ‘So enduringly popular and still steadily selling that it could follow A Guy Called Gerald up the chart, Derrick ‘Mayday’ May’s synthetic strings stabbed and sawed techno pioneeringly jerky instrumental leaper is now out here in its frantic acidic 130/129 1/5-130-0bpm Exclusive Remix, more scrubbingly hustling organ accented 128 1/5-127 4/5-128-128 1/5bpm Flam-boy-ant Mix, and piano emphasising jerkier 122 1/5-122-121 2/5-121 1/5bpm Piano Mix, flipped by the washing machine ‘sizzled’ 129-129 1/3bpm ‘Kaos’ plus the ‘Magic Juan’ Atkins created jiggly wriggling Model 500 ‘Off To Battle’ in its 125 2/3-126 1/5bpm 2emix and 126 1/5-126 2/3bpm Original Version‘. – James Hamilton, Jocks, 3.89 ‘Based on a piano sequence by May’s friend Michael James. He dropped in for a visit at May’s house and sat down to play a piano ballad he had been working on called, “Lightning Strikes Twice”. This piece went into May’s sequencer and was kept there until May decided to listen to it all the way through. He found some portions which interested him, and he started to work with it. The song was originally at 80 BPM before May increased the tempo, chopped it up into loops, and added percussion and string samples’. Wikipedia The history of this stark track is interesting. I called this ‘near punk like, house / techno’ on the show, what with its crude/rough arrangement feeling like it nearly takes four minutes to settle… just in time for it to sound like it’s breaking down on the outro! And it’s become a classic! Enough to warrant a bunch of remixes and the mighty ‘live with orchestra’ version that follows. 01.52.18 RHYTHIM IS RHYTHIM – Strings Of Life (Live, Weather Festival, Paris, France) – Stream only – 2015 Derrick May, with Francesco Tristano (ex-Aufgang) loving it big time on extra keyboards, with the weight of the full Philharmonic Orchestra Lamoureux, under the direction of Dzijan Emin… and all beautifully captured by ‘producer, Amos Rozenberg and Paramax Films in 4K with 9 Cinema cameras by Samuel Petit for Arte TV‘… it says somewhere. Strings Of Life, indeed. Catch the video in the usual places. Show 150 will upload April 5. Dec x The post Post Punk Plus Podcast Playlist 149 – Original upload 1.3.26 appeared first on 41Rooms.

Every song's got to have a hook - or at least it does if you want it to be popular. A song can have the best vocalists, the best instrumentalists and the best lyrics, but unless it has a great hook, it'll never be all that it can be. And unlike words, voices and music, it's hard to articulate how hooks even work; they hit us on a primal level that can't fully be explained. The most common hook in popular music comes with a punch - for instance, it's often in the chorus, where the song's title is directly or indirectly referenced and the arrangement rides a crescendo. But sometimes a hook is in the verses or the bridge, sometimes it's an instrumental passage like a guitar solo, and sometimes it's a sudden pivot, like a dramatic change in tempo. One-hit wonders frequently find the magic to a good hook only once, while more savvy artists have a knack for hooks. On this week's episode of "How We Heard It," your hosts talk about some of the greatest hooks in modern music history, whether they came from Buddy Holly or Motown, The Who or The Kinks, David Bowie or Cheap Trick, New Wave or disco, Sheryl Crow or Weezer, Kendrick Lamar or Mariah Carey, and Olivia Rodrigo or Taylor Swift.  Have you ever been captivated by a song and you aren't sure why? It was probably the hook.

In 1967 the Temptations were hitting their prime with their "classic 5 lineup" just coming off their major breakthrough album Back In Black with their "classic 5" era lineup of singers, David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin and Paul Williams. The Temptations With A Lot O' Soul made it to #7 on Billboard album charts and was their biggest selling album from their classic 5 era. The album featured hits like (I Know) I'm Losing You, All I Need, You're My Everything & more. The great Funk Brothers provided their music and Norman Whitfield writing and production was all over the album as usual. This album continued The Temptations unique one of a kind soul music and style. David Ruffin was solidified as the main lead singer, but valuable contributions and lead vocals was still provided by the other members. This was Zeus' pick and as usual the boys breakdown and dissect the tracks and rank the songs. They then rank the album and the album cover against the previous albums reviewed on the Album Review Crew. So tune in to find out all about Zeus' man crush on David Ruffin and why yesterday football stars from Tecmo Bowl and more like Warren Moon, Barry Sanders and Dennis Green make appearances!

Leroy Sibbles is one of the biggest names in reggae history. Known as the undisputed king of the reggae bassline, Leroy first rose to fame as the lead singer of The Heptones. He was also an integral part of Jamaica's Studio One record label, which is often described as “the Motown of Jamaica.” In the early '70s, Leroy left Jamaica for Canada, where he helped build Toronto's fledgling reggae scene. In this conversation with guest host Garvia Bailey, he talks about his incredible life and career.

Good Morning, it's time to get up with a Motown mauling. Wemby and the Spurs make a big statement. Was it a bad game or a bad sign for the Pistons? (0:00) Plus - will it be bye Eagles bye for AJ Brown? Wait until you hear what Nick Sirianni said about his star receiver. Is Philly about to make a big mistake? (8:50) Then - in a QB class filled with questions, Fernando Mendoza is surely going first! Which past MVP is Mel Kiper seeing in the Indiana standout? (14:10) And - speaking of receivers, drama in Dallas. The Cowboys play a game of tag with George Pickens, will it lead to offseason chaos? (23:50) Learn more about your ad choices.

Un viaje inolvidable por las perlas más suaves y elegantes del smooth jazz, con historias detrás de los artistas que lo hicieron posible Bienvenidos al episodio 75 de **Smooth Jazz Classics**, donde no solo revivimos tracks icónicos, sino que también exploramos un poco del alma detrás de cada uno. Este volumen es un homenaje a la era dorada del smooth jazz (con fuertes raíces en los 90 y 2000s) mezclado con toques más contemporáneos. Aquí encontrarás saxos que susurran emociones, guitarras que acarician como una brisa de atardecer y ritmos que invitan a desconectar del ruido del mundo. Desde clásicos que marcaron generaciones hasta piezas que siguen sonando frescas décadas después, este episodio es ideal para tardes relajadas, noches de luna llena, paseos costeros o simplemente para dejar que la música te envuelva sin prisas. Vamos a sumergirnos en la tracklist con algunas anécdotas y curiosidades de los artistas que dan vida a estas joyas. **Tracklist – Smooth Jazz Classics Vol. 75** - **1994 | Richard Elliot – Candlelight** Richard Elliot, el saxofonista escocés criado en Los Ángeles, comenzó su viaje musical gracias a la colección de discos de su hermana mayor: desde Joni Mitchell y Santana hasta Smokey Robinson y The Temptations. Un momento transformador fue escuchar a Dexter Gordon en vivo; él mismo dijo que pensó “estoy acabado, nunca sonaré como esto”. Pero forjó su propio estilo, fusionando R&B, rock y smooth jazz. Con más de 20 singles Top 10 en el género, tracks como *Candlelight* capturan esa calidez íntima que lo convirtió en un referente indiscutible. - **1997 | Boney James – Sweet Thing** Boney James lanzó este álbum homónimo en 1997, con colaboraciones estelares como Al Jarreau en “I Still Dream”. El título track es un groove seductor que samplea y rinde homenaje a clásicos del R&B/funk. Boney, conocido por su enfoque en melodías accesibles y soulful, giró con Jarreau tras este disco, fortaleciendo su presencia en el smooth jazz de los 90. Un álbum que destila puro feeling nocturno. - **2008 | Warren Hill – La Dolce Vita** El saxofonista alto canadiense Warren Hill firmó con Koch Records para este álbum, cuyo título track fue un #1 en las listas de smooth jazz. Warren es un pionero olvidado por algunos: ¡él organizó el primer Smooth Jazz Cruise del mundo en 2004! Tras años de éxito en cruceros temáticos, volvió a enfocarse en su música. *La Dolce Vita* evoca esa “dulce vida” italiana con elegancia y swing mediterráneo. - **1994 | Joe McBride – Walking In Rhythm** Una pieza groovy y bailable que captura el espíritu upbeat del smooth jazz de mediados de los 90, con influencias de funk y R&B que invitan a mover los pies sutilmente. - **2009 | The Sax Pack – Can't Help Myself** The Sax Pack era un supergrupo de saxofonistas (incluyendo a Steve Cole, Jeff Kashiwa y Kim Waters en diferentes etapas), y este track del álbum *The Pack Is Back* es un hit infeccioso con palmas, teclas y saxos en armonía. Es de esos temas que te hacen decir “no puedo evitarlo”… ¡y terminas moviendo la cabeza al ritmo! - **1999 | Chieli Minucci – Fresh And Clean** Chieli Minucci, líder eterno de Special EFX, lanzó esta pieza fresca y pulida bajo su nombre. Su estilo melódico y world music siempre añade un toque exótico y luminoso; *Fresh And Clean* es como un soplo de aire puro, perfecto para refrescar el alma. - **1997 | Paul Taylor – Pleasure Seeker** Paul Taylor, con su saxo tenor cálido y sensual, entrega aquí un groove irresistible que busca (y encuentra) puro placer auditivo. Un clásico de finales de los 90 que sigue sonando sofisticado y adictivo. - **2010 | Tim Bowman – Let It Shine** Tim Bowman, el guitarrista smooth jazz con raíces gospel (nació en 1959 y debutó en 1996), llevó este track al #1 en las listas Billboard Smooth Jazz. Su sonido limpio y uplifting, con toques inspiradores, refleja su enfoque en música que eleva el espíritu. Tres tracks suyos en este volumen: *Let It Shine*, *Soul Dream* y *Acoustic Rain* muestran su versatilidad entre grooves luminosos y baladas acústicas soñadoras. - **2010 | Tim Bowman – Soul Dream** Una balada soulful que invita a soñar despierto, con la guitarra de Bowman tejiendo melodías que tocan el corazón. - **2010 | Tim Bowman – Acoustic Rain** Imagina lluvia suave cayendo mientras la guitarra acústica fluye… este track es pura serenidad y atmósfera relajante. - **2005 | Nils – Pacific Coast Highway** Nils evoca los paisajes costeros de California con este tema que suena a carretera abierta, sol y mar. Un clásico del smooth jazz instrumental que transporta directamente a un drive eterno por la costa pacífica. - **1999 | Norman Brown – Out'a Nowhere** Norman Brown, influenciado por George Benson, entrega en *Celebration* (su álbum de 1999) este track sorpresivo y alegre que aparece “de la nada” con grooves que unen a la gente. Su meta siempre ha sido “una vida unida a través de la música”, y este tema lo logra con su estilo laid-back y melódico. - **2021 | Mezzoforte – Cruising** La banda islandesa de jazz-funk-fusion Mezzoforte (famosos por “Garden Party” en los 80) regresó con energía en los 2000s y 2020s. *Cruising* es un groove fresco y moderno que cierra el episodio con un toque de jazz-funk actualizado, perfecto para sentir que sigues navegando sin fin. Este episodio 75 es más que una playlist: es un recorrido por artistas que han dedicado décadas a crear música que calma, inspira y conecta. Desde los inicios influenciados por Motown y R&B hasta producciones que siguen dominando las listas smooth jazz, todos estos tracks tienen historias de pasión, evolución y puro amor por el sonido. ¡Dale play, relájate y déjate llevar por 75 episodios de Smooth Jazz Classics! Perfecto para concentrarte, desconectar o simplemente disfrutar de la buena vibra. 🎷🌅✨

"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."

Send a textFor 25 years, Phil Vassar has written and performed songs that defined an era of country music. But behind the hits like Just Another Day in Paradise, Carlene, and The Sound of a Million Dreams is a story of rejection, resilience, health scares, and hard-earned perspective.This week on Here's What We Know, Phil reflects on the roadblocks that nearly stopped him, the heart attack that changed his outlook, and why he believes songwriters are more like therapists than hitmakers. From owning his own bar in Nashville to outlasting the gatekeepers who said piano players would never work in country music, Phil opens up about what it really takes to build a lasting career.This is a conversation about instinct, grit, healing, and the power of a song to carry you through the hardest seasons of life.In This Episode:Writing Songs Is Therapy“They Said Piano Players Don't Work in Nashville”Building a Following Before a Record DealThe Hits They HatedKnowing When You've Got SomethingSurviving a Heart Attack and StrokeJust Another Day in ParadiseThe Story Behind CarleneThe Sound of a Million DreamsBands, Egos, and Going SoloToby Keith, Vince Gill, and Songwriting BrotherhoodSlowing Down After 25 YearsEnding with Piano ManThis episode is sponsored by:Sterling Oak Cabinetry (Be sure to tell them Gary sent you!)Bio:Phil Vassar is a chart-topping country artist and acclaimed Nashville songwriter whose piano-driven sound helped redefine modern country music. Raised in a home filled with Motown, gospel, bluegrass, and classic rock, Vassar developed an eclectic musical foundation that blends heartfelt storytelling with unforgettable hooks. Influenced by artists like Billy Joel and Elton John, he found his true voice behind the piano, crafting songs that resonate across generations.Over a 25-year career, Vassar has earned two ASCAP Songwriter of the Year awards, ACM's Top New Male Vocalist honors, and scored 10 No. 1 hits including “Just Another Day in Paradise,” “Carlene,” and “Six-Pack Summer.” As a songwriter, he's penned major hits for Tim McGraw, Alan Jackson, Jo Dee Messina, and others, cementing his reputation as one of Nashville's most versatile hitmakers.Now celebrating the 25th anniversary of his breakout success, Vassar continues to tour nationally, blending his classic hits with fresh interpretations and new music. After surviving a life-altering heart attack in 2023, he brings renewed gratitude and perspective to both his life and career.

It was a hotel gig in New Rochelle, playing the same 20 songs every other Friday night.A connection from that gig led me to a tour.That tour opened the door to subbing.And subbing eventually brought me to Broadway.In this new solo episode, I break down:• Why saying yes early in your career matters• Why showing up beats just posting• How small gigs compound over time• And how to know when it's time to start saying noIf you caught my talk at NAMM, this episode goes even deeper into that topic.READ: And if you're serious about building a real career in theater, get my book:Broadway Bound and Beyond: A Musician's Guide to Building a Theater Career.You can order it right now on Amazon or Barnes and Noble.If you want a signed copy, go to SignatureBrandWorks.com.Listen to the new solo episode.Pick up the book if you're interested.And I hope to see you at the Broadhurst!Clayton Craddock is the drummer for the upcoming Broadway musical Cats: The Jellicle Ball, opening at the Broadhurst Theatre on April 7th.

Send a textJoin Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musiciansSinatra's swagger meets a mic‑drop freestyle and the result is pure delight. We sit down with Adelaide's own Hugh Sheridan to trace the spark that began on a kitchen‑table “stage” at age five and follow it all the way to a sharpened, joy‑driven career across theater, TV, and a beloved live act: the California Crooners Club. Hugh opens up about growing up in a creative family of seven children, a jazz‑playing dad, and the tough‑love push that turned dance from weakness into strength—proof that triple‑threat isn't a label, it's a work ethic.Then we dig into the California Crooners Club itself: the Rat Pack look, tight harmonies, and bold arrangements that splice classics with modern edge. The signature twist arrives when Gabe steps forward to rap over standards, a move that wakes up nostalgia and makes new fans out of skeptics. With the show returning to the Adelaide Fringe, Hugh teases a fresh setlist full of old‑school gems, a Supremes tribute (sshhhhh), and a few timely surprises, all built to make the room light up. Along the way, we touch the tender stuff—releasing jazz recordings with his late father, crafting a Christmas album rooted in Adelaide, and writing a holiday track that's joyful and honest.Hugh also shares the real calculus behind career choices, from a left‑field run on The Masked Singer to the screen roles that many still cherish, including Pack to the Rafters and the INXS mini‑series. What ties it all together is a simple aim: entertain well, tell the truth in song, and send people home feeling better than they arrived. If you love live music, swing, Motown, clever mashups, or just a good origin story, this one's for you.If you enjoy the show, follow the podcast, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—what classic would you love to hear remixed at the next California Crooners Club night?What has Hugh Sheridan and The California Crooners Club been up to lately?  Let's find out!Get out when you can, support local music and I'll see you down the front!!Visit: ThatRadioChick.com.au

"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."

Jeff Bright in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://www.jeffreyalanbright.com/ https://thepleasurespale.bandcamp.com/ https://jeffbrightthesunshineboys.bandcamp.com/ The Pleasures Pale was an influential indie quartet+ based in Dayton, Ohio, active from 1985 to 1987. Often compared to UK groups of the era, TPP's influences can now be read as more diverse — taking cues from post-punk, rockabilly, swing, Motown and Dayton funk. A band for misfits, their extensive, lyric-driven output sought to light a way through the rust belt's post-industrial bleakness.

Toby Manning joins the Coming From Left Field Podcast to discuss his book, “Mixing Pop and Politics: A Marxist History of Popular Music,” a sweeping, theory-driven history of commercial popular music from the 1950s to today. Dr. Manning traces how popular music doesn't float above politics but is shaped by – and responds to – capitalism, class struggle, race, empire, and changing economic regimes from Fordism/New Deal social democracy to neoliberalism and austerity. Rather than a narrow history of “protest songs,” he reads big-selling hits and major genres (rock and roll, Motown, soul, reggae, punk, post-punk, hip-hop, grunge, electronic dance music, contemporary pop) as expressions of dominant ideology, resistance, and contradiction inside a profit-driven culture industry. Drawing on Marxist concepts such as alienation, ideology, and dialectics, he shows how music both reflects the world and helps people imagine alternatives. Toby Manning is a British writer, journalist, critic, and educator based in London. He describes himself as a “professional music geek.” Dr. Manning was born and grew up in North Wales and lived in various parts of the UK before settling in London. He holds a PhD in English and Creative Writing from The Open University, completed in 2015, and much of his later work has developed from his doctoral research. He has written for major UK music and cultural publications such as NME, Q, Mojo, The Word, The Guardian, The Quietus , New Statesman, Red Pepper, and The Big Issue. He has also contributed to journals and essay collections, including work on The Velvet Underground and Talking Heads.   Resources: Order the book: https://www.amazon.com/Mixing-Pop-Politics-Marxist-History/dp/1913462676  Twitter/X: @TobyManning Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TobyLManning/ Spotify Playlists: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6SzgjiHOtNowpny0zqkixQ?si=a0f8a7ad38f642a2 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7As7CSf79iXtQ6p8SCNODL?si=e2bebc6ec514442d https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0mki0qN9TeIxiTn8kfZH1Z?si=923e5c9ee6154dc7   Greg's Blog: http://zzs-blg.blogspot.com/ Greg's Article on Coltrane: https://mltoday.com/coltrane-s-revolutionary-musical-journey/ Pat's Substack: https://patcummings.substack.com/   mixingpopandpolitics#marxisthistoryofpopularmusic#tobymanning#popmusicandcapitalism#marxismandmusic#historyofrockandroll#punkandpolitics#hiphopandclass#popularmusicideology#fordismandculture#neoliberalismandmusic#protestmusic#musicandsocialchange#musicandalienation#politicalmusichistory#PatCummings#PatrickCummings#GregGodels#ZZBlog#ComingFromLeftField#ComingFromLeftFieldPodcast#zzblog#mltoday

Can you tell a good joke? Sure! How about can you make a puppet tell a good joke? Yes, indeed. OK, so can you tell a good joke and make the puppet banter with you -- all without moving your lips? And that's what separates Willie Tyler (and his dummy Lester) from the rest of us! A ventriloquist since his school days, Willie Tyler brings top notch skills to his act which he has been performing since the 1960s. From early work in Detroit clubs, to recurring spots on Motown tours in the 1960s, to joining the cast of Laugh-In, Willie worked his way to becoming the most successful African-American ventriloquist act in history. A frequent opener for top Vegas headliners, as well as a reliable guest on tv variety and game shows, Willie also managed to branch out into guest roles on tv and he was the first act to take the stage when David Letterman held his Late Night "Ventriloquist Week" in the early 2000's. Now in his mid-80s Willie and Lester keep trucking along, recently appearing in Adam Sandler's 2024 Netflix special. Not too bad for a dummy from Detroit! As always, find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows. Want more Willie Tyler and Lester? Willie Tyler and Lester weren't a musical act, but that didn't stop them from appearing on Dick Clark's American Bandstand back in 1976. https://youtu.be/L0rnH99cNVA?si=Cfo_lVgZ-f3E4_Px When Willie and Lester were added to the Laugh-In cast in 1972 it introduced the duo to a whole new audience. https://fb.watch/Fb6NonKmKn/ When David Letterman held a "Ventriloquist Week" on his late night show back in 2006 the first act to appear was Willie and Lester -- and, as usual, they killed. https://youtu.be/6Q1JkAa5ksc?si=KeyaLwQxzJ4MhoHi

My guest today is Kerry Gordy, a name woven into the fabric of modern music and a force in his own right at the intersection of brand, culture, and intellectual property. Yes, he's the son of Berry Gordy, but Kerry's career stands on its own merit. He grew up inside the Motown ecosystem, managed Rick James through his comeback years, played a pivotal executive role at Prince's Paisley Park Records, and helped architect one of the most important independent moments in music history with The Most Beautiful Girl in the World. Beyond music, Kerry has become a leading advocate for artists' rights, pioneering copyright termination strategies that have helped creators reclaim ownership and long-term value. I met Kerry years ago when we were both speaking at Harvard, and from that moment on we've been brothers. This conversation is a rare blend of history, hard-earned lessons, and real-world insight into how brands, artists, and legacies are actually built.

“She was a beautiful person, loving and warm...She was down-to-earth, she loved to laugh, and everyone loved her.” - Marvin Gaye, on fellow Motown star and original Supreme Florence BallardThis week, the Dolls Pod presents the true story behind the Tony-winning musical “Dreamgirls,” and the very real woman that was its muse. Both Jennifer Holliday and Jennifer Hudson won Academy awards for their portrayals of Effie White, based on the fiery founder of the Supremes. Florence Ballard sang on 16 of their top 40 hits, and 9 of their number ones. But she did not have the happy ending Effie gets in “Dreamgirls.” She's often called “the Lost Supreme,” as she was virtually erased from the group's history. But as this episode will show you, Flo Ballard was anything but “just a backup singer.” She was brave in the face of hardship and a true trailblazer; the soul of Motown's first girl group. “Florence Ballard: The Real Effie White” is available wherever you stream your podcasts

"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 the early hours of March 3, 1993, someone snuck into the Maryland home of Millie Horn, where she lived with her disabled eight-year-old son, Trevor, and his nurse, Janice Saunders. After shooting both women in the head multiple times, the intruder smothered Trevor Horn to death, then quietly left the house. Hours later, the bodies of all three were discovered by Millie's sister, who stepped by to check on them.Almost immediately, suspicion fell on Millie Horn's ex-husband, Lawrence, who lived thousands of miles away in California, but with whom she'd spoken just hours before the murders occurred. In time, investigators were able to establish a financial motive, linking Lawrence Horn to the murders, yet they were unable to place Horn in Maryland when the murders occurred. Ultimately, Lawrence Horn would be tried and convicted for all three murders, but by that time, he wasn't sole perpetrator of the crime. And when prosecutors were finally able to pin down the men responsible for the deaths, it turned out the killers received guidance from a very surprising source.Recommendations:Phantasma By Kaylie SmithHappy Place By Emily HenryReferencesAssociated Press. 1993.
