Billy Bob Thornton returns to share fascinating tales from his six-year residency at LA's iconic Sunset Marquis Hotel, featured in the new documentary 'If These Walls Could Rock.' He recounts wild encounters with neighbors like Keith Richards, Jimmy Page, and Richard Harris, plus some pretty outrageous moments on the property. Billy Bob also discusses The Boxmasters' 21st album and their incredible experience opening for The Who, where they earned standing ovations. After that, Soul Asylum frontman Dave Pirner sits down for a wide-ranging conversation about the band's upcoming double album MPLS Unplugged. Dave opens up about being a self-described technophobe who just recently got an iPhone, the story behind Prince covering 'Stand Up and Be Strong,' and how the new acoustic record differs from their MTV Unplugged performance 30 years ago. They dive into Dave's songwriting process, which songs work acoustically versus electrically, and the incredible impact of 'Runaway Train' on both missing children and mental health awareness. Rounding out the podcast, Mikkey Dee joins for an in-depth conversation covering his terrifying health scare with sepsis that led to three surgeries and five weeks in the hospital. The Scorpions and former Motorhead drummer explains how the aggressive infection nearly took his right leg and his life. He discusses the formation of Lex Legion, reuniting four-fifths of a classic King Diamond lineup to create old-school metal with a modern twist. Mikkey also talks about Scorpions' continued vitality (despite the band members approaching 80), their upcoming Vegas residency, and why he's now the last man standing to carry Motorhead's torch forward.

Alice in Chains is one of the biggest bands from the 90s. But by 1996, they were ghosts. Over two and a half years had passed since their last real concert. Layne Staley's heroin addiction had derailed the band's touring schedule. Yeah, they dropped their self-titled album in 1996 and it went to number one, but they couldn't go on the road behind it. The band was out of the spotlight and the rumors about Layne's addiction were deafening. MTV had chased them Unplugged for years and, in 1996, the finally said yes. The rehearsals were rough – guys not showing up and old habits refusing to die – but Layne got himself together long enough to step on that stage – with a little dose of H to round off the edges. On April 10th, they delivered what many – and I – call one of the greatest MTV Unplugged performances ever. The stage was dark, intimate—candles flickering, lava lamps barely moving. Layne showed up in his trademark wraparound glasses looking thinner than normal. It wasn't perfect… and that's exactly why it was perfect. A false start here, a wavering note there, Layne visibly frail but fighting through it. That raw vulnerability made it electric.They reached across their whole career—from early tracks to the new album—with acoustic versions that sometimes enhanced the songs, like the gorgeous ‘No Excuses,' and other times exposed just how dark and brutal the lyrics really were, like ‘Sludge Factory.' When Layne's voice cut through ‘Nutshell' or ‘Down in a Hole,' you felt every word. It was haunting, beautiful, and heartbreaking… one of Layne's final stands with the band.

Gäst: Björn Ferry - Programledare: Daniel Westman I detta avsnitt av PAUS lämnar Daniel studiomikrofonen för en stund och bjuder in till ett genuint och avslappnat vardagsrumssamtal över en folköl. Gäst i fåtöljen är ingen mindre än OS-guldmedaljören och skidskyttelegendaren Björn Ferry. Det visar sig snabbt att den rätlinjige idrottsmannen bär på ett djupt och passionerat musikintresse format av en frihetstörstande uppväxt. Det blir ett fascinerande samtal om kontraster – från det stenhårdauktoritära träningslivet med cykelpass på 15 mil till magin i Paul Stanleys röstkontroll under MTV Unplugged. Björn delar med sig av varför han föredrar Eric Singers kompromisslösa dubbeltramp framför Peter Criss sväng, och hur han som förmodligen den enda skidskytten i Sverige har stenkoll på obskyra Kiss-spår som "Charisma" och "Danger". Dessutom utmanar Daniel honom i en nostalgisk, handvikt Kiss-loppa gjord av döttrarna! Slå dig ner, ta en paus och lyssna på ett samtal om vikten av kontinuitet, sökandet efter det unika och varför man måste våga odla det konstiga för att bryta igenom bruset.
Some people dream of peace and quiet. Other people point guitar amps out the window for seven straight years. Welcome to another completely normal daily comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show.This episode starts with one of the most ridiculous neighborhood stories we've seen in a long time—a guitarist in Japan whose nonstop hard rock obsession finally got him arrested after years of driving his neighbors absolutely insane. Naturally, the conversation spirals into terrible garage bands, learning guitar, drummers next door, digital rehearsals, and whether hearing someone slowly improve at "Smoke on the Water" actually counts as character development.From there the crew somehow pivots into travel planning as Rizz talks about wanting to take his daughter on a father-daughter trip before college. Paris? Maybe. Japan? Definitely on the list... unless Mom finds out and insists on coming too.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where everything from Fleetwood Mac reunion rumors and Motley Crüe drama to Billy Idol, Alice In Chains, Madonna, Harry Styles, Donna Mills joining OnlyFans, and Netflix buying the entire Walking Dead universe gets thrown into the blender.The music conversations get especially nerdy as the crew debates backing tracks, live performances, Motley Crüe's ongoing feud with Mick Mars, classic MTV Unplugged performances, and why some concerts feel completely authentic while others... maybe don't.Elsewhere, Jonathan Taylor Thomas mysteriously continues aging about one year every decade, Steve Savard lands one of St. Louis television's biggest jobs, Chuck Norris gets honored, Kim Kardashian surprises everyone by actually doing something nice, and Forbes releases the highest-paid podcasts in the world—giving everyone in the studio just enough motivation to keep showing up tomorrow.As always, expect plenty of sarcastic commentary, random tangents, pop culture, celebrity news, weird stories, and the kind of conversations that only happen when nobody tells a morning radio show they're supposed to stay on topic.If you're looking for a daily comedy podcast full of hilarious news, entertainment gossip, rock music debates, awkward neighborhood stories, and the usual Rizz Show nonsense, you're exactly where you belong.Whether you're listening on your commute, at work, pretending to work, or hiding from your own noisy neighbors, thanks for making The Rizzuto Show part of your day.Because if someone can get arrested over 40 guitars... literally anything is possible.This daily comedy podcast is proudly brought to you from St. Louis by The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Somehow we managed to pack lottery theft, family betrayal, international travel planning, terrifying roadside accidents, hot tub diseases, AI teachers, and a duct-taped iguana into one episode... and honestly, that barely scratches the surface.Scott is getting ready to head to Paris, which immediately turns into a debate about Jim Morrison's grave, French sandwiches, river swimming, smoking European cigarettes, and whether anyone voluntarily listens to The Doors anymore. Moon tries to be practical, Lern encourages absolute chaos, and somehow everyone ends up talking about hot tubs instead.Speaking of hot tubs... would you still climb into one after hearing about all the horrifying things that can apparently live inside them? From mysterious rashes to Legionnaires disease, the crew discovers there are way more reasons to shower after swimming than anyone wanted to know. Somehow this spirals into Russian bathhouses, vacation rentals, questionable romantic hot tubs, and why no one should ever trust an Airbnb jacuzzi without reading the laminated instructions.Then comes one of the strangest local stories we've covered in a while: someone duct-taped a giant iguana to a tree in St. Peters. Thankfully the reptile survives, but not before the crew imagines the poor guy giving a full police interrogation like he's starring in a crime movie. It's ridiculous, it's hilarious, and somehow also incredibly wholesome because a good dog named Mochi ends up saving the day.We also revisit one of everyone's biggest driving fears thanks to another Final Destination-style highway story involving a portable toilet that fell off a truck with tragic consequences. If you already avoid driving behind anything hauling oversized cargo, this episode won't help.Later, an AI-powered classroom robot gets canceled after parents realize the company behind it also manufactures highly realistic adult dolls. Naturally, that conversation goes exactly where you'd expect. Then Arizona State University announces a new bachelor's degree in content creation, kicking off a surprisingly thoughtful conversation about social media careers... before the sarcasm inevitably returns.TJ Miller sends the crew a surprise delivery of gourmet peanut butter before stopping by later, and suddenly everyone becomes an expert food critic. Cherry chocolate? Chocolate coconut? Toffee crunch? There are passionate opinions, questionable life choices, and at least one person ready to smear it on absolutely everything.Meanwhile, Lern officially reaches the finish line of an entire month without alcohol, and the crew wastes absolutely zero time asking the important questions. Does she feel different? Is she immediately celebrating? What exactly is the first airport drink after a month of sobriety? The answers lead to a surprisingly honest—and hilarious—conversation about habits, moderation, and why airport cocktails somehow exist outside normal life rules.Then things take another unexpected turn when the crew dives into brand-new statistics showing that daily marijuana use has officially surpassed daily alcohol consumption in America. Naturally, nobody can simply read the numbers and move on. Instead, the discussion wanders through changing social habits, cannabis culture, nightly routines, and whether America has quietly rewritten the rulebook on what "unwinding after work" actually looks like.As if that wasn't enough chaos already, the gang celebrates another birthday, previews everything coming in August—from football returning and Cardinals optimism to new TV shows, movies, and bizarre national holidays—and somehow manages to make even a calendar feel ridiculous.It's the perfect mix of weird news, sarcastic commentary, pop culture, and the kind of conversations that somehow only make sense when you're hanging out with The Rizzuto Show.Packed with funny stories, celebrity chatter, unexpected debates, and the kind of off-the-rails conversations that feel like you're sitting in the studio with the crew, you've found it. Whether you're here for the laughs, the ridiculous opinions, or simply wondering which peanut butter flavor wins the day, this episode delivers exactly the kind of unpredictable energy that keeps people coming back.Some people dream of peace and quiet. Other people point guitar amps out the window for seven straight years.

" Ladies and gentlemen, Rock and Roll. » Le 1er août 1981. MTV lance son premier programme avec une chanson mythique : Video Killed the Radio Star. Le succès est fulgurant. MTV s'impose auprès des jeunes et dicte ses lois à l'industrie musicale. Elle ne se contente pas de diffuser la musique : elle crée des stars, lance MTV Unplugged, et s'ouvre aux téléréalités et aux émissions de divertissement. Une chaîne qui aura marqué toute une génération. Un héritage immense, balayé par l'arrivée de YouTube et des nouvelles plateformes.

Today, Loretta welcomes DUST OF SOUL who is an internationally recognized musical duo and the creators of an innovative approach to healing through music, intuition, and vibration.Founded by Saskia, the Singing Psychic Medium, and Michael Angeles, the Piano Medium, Dust of Soul combines intuitive guidance, original music, frequency healing, and live performance into what they call Soul Technology—a transformational modality designed to reconnect individuals with their authentic selves through sound.At the center of their work is the belief that every person carries a unique energetic signature or Soul Song. Through intuitive channeling, Saskia receives lyrical messages and symbolic insights while Michael translates energetic impressions through piano, harmony, rhythm, and chakra resonance. Together they create original musical experiences intended to promote emotional healing, nervous system regulation, intuitive awakening, and greater inner coherence.Their work incorporates intentional healing frequencies including 432 Hz, 528 Hz, 741 Hz, 852 Hz, and 888 Hz, each selected to support different aspects of emotional, energetic, and spiritual well-being.Dust of Soul's work is deeply personal. Saskia's life changed dramatically after surviving a devastating brain stroke that left her temporarily paralyzed. During her recovery she discovered the extraordinary healing power of her own voice, an experience that became the foundation for the work she and Michael now share around the world.For more than thirteen years they have presented concerts, retreats, workshops, and private sessions throughout North America, Europe, India, North Africa, and the Middle East. Their performances have included MTV Unplugged, the Muscat Amphitheater for the Royal Family of Oman, and the United Nations International Day of Peace in Times Square.Their newest book, music, and Soul Song experiences continue their mission of helping people awaken through sound, reconnect with their intuition, and remember the unique song each soul carries within.Learn more at: www.DustOfSoul.comApp: https://soulsong.appInstagram: https://instagram.com/dustofsoulFacebook: https://facebook.com/dustofsoulTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@dustofsoulYouTube: https://youtube.com/dustofsouldustofsoul.commusic@dustofsoul.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks, the podcast where host James Cox—himself a lifelong champion of music's healing power—delves into the stories, science, and soul behind live performance. In today's episode, James sits down with Nate Terracio, director of the Kroger Center for the Arts and a former chemist turned arts‑leader, to explore how a free, outdoor concert series is reshaping Columbia's cultural landscape.Together they discuss the challenges of moving concerts outdoors—weather, logistics, and the magic of “rain‑or‑shine” shows—while highlighting the community‑building spirit that informal, open‑air gigs create. Nate shares how his scientific background fuels his problem‑solving approach to programming, his love for eclectic line‑ups (from classic‑rock “MTV Unplugged” vibes to modern tribute bands), and his vision for making high‑quality arts experiences accessible to every fan, regardless of taste or ticket price.The conversation also drifts into the deeper psychology of live music: why seeing a performer is as vital as hearing them, the goose‑bumps‑inducing energy of shared audiences, and the irreplaceable warmth of analog sound. Nate reveals his personal “Mount Rushmore” of musical inspirations—Beck, The Velvet Underground, Jane's Addiction, and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra—offering a window into the eclectic soundtrack that shapes his curatorial choices.Stay tuned for behind‑the‑scenes anecdotes, future plans for the Kroger Center's Thursday‑after‑work series, and a rapid‑fire lightning round that uncovers Nate's favorite venues, sounds, and the most stressful production role. Whether you're a music lover, a community organizer, or simply looking for a dose of inspiration, this episode proves once again that when words fail, music truly speaks.

Today, we're putting The Tonearm's needle on singer and songwriter Ora Cogan.Ora Cogan's music pulls from folk, country, psychedelia, and gothic rock. She holds all of it without flinching, as heard on the fantastic album Hard Hearted Woman, her latest release on Sacred Bones.Ora has worked as a photojournalist and human rights advocate, and those experiences feed directly into how she thinks about art, resistance, and what the music is actually for.

We get into all of that, including her creative process, the long arc of folk music as a living tradition, and why staying soft in hard times is a form of defiance in itself.(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Ora Cogan's Hard Hearted Woman)—Dig DeeperArtist and Album:Visit Ora Cogan at her official site and follow on Bluesky, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTubePurchase Ora Cogan's album Hard Hearted Woman from Sacred Bones, Bandcamp, or Qobuz, and listen on your streaming platform of choiceLabel:Sacred Bones RecordsCollaborators and Band:Lankum — Irish doom-folk group; Cormac MacDiarmada contributed to Hard Hearted WomanBackxwash — Zambian-Canadian rapper and producer; collaboratorY La Bamba — Portland-based indie folk group; collaboratorEmma Ruth Rundle — artist Ora has toured withLori Goldston — legendary cellist (Nirvana's MTV Unplugged); appears on the Bury Me EPMusical References:Fire Draw Near — Ian Lynch's podcast on Irish traditional musicOne Leg One Eye — Ian Lynch's experimental solo projectActivism and Organizations:Trans Lifeline — Grassroots hotline and microgrants organization run by and for trans people; US: (877) 565–8860, Canada: (877) 330–6366Advocates for Trans Equality — Legal and political advocacy for transgender rights in the USHeiltsuk Nation — The First Nations community on British Columbia's Central Coast whose members accompanied Ora on the canoe journey she describes as a turning point in her lifeIndigenous Climate Hub — Resource hub for Indigenous-led climate action in CanadaGLAAD Transgender Resources — Directory of support resources for trans people and allies—Dig into this episode's complete show notes at podcast.thetonearm.com—• Did you enjoy this episode?

Welcome to Songs of Experience: A Bob Dylan Podcast, where we explore the man and the music one song at a time. Henry brings in Professor Jon Lasser to teach us all about the early 60's Bob Dylan song that didn't see the light of day till the mid 90s, "John Brown." Learn more from Jon at @teachingbobdylan! Listen and follow along with the song here: John Brown Written by: Bob Dylan John Brown went off to war to fight on a foreign shore His mama sure was proud of him! He stood straight and tall in his uniform and all His mama's face broke out all in a grin “Oh son, you look so fine, I'm glad you're a son of mine You make me proud to know you hold a gun Do what the captain says, lots of medals you will get And we'll put them on the wall when you come home” As that old train pulled out, John's ma began to shout Tellin' ev'ryone in the neighborhood: “That's my son that's about to go, he's a soldier now, you know” She made well sure her neighbors understood She got a letter once in a while and her face broke into a smile As she showed them to the people from next door And she bragged about her son with his uniform and gun And these things you called a good old-fashioned war Oh! Good old-fashioned war! Then the letters ceased to come, for a long time they did not come They ceased to come for about ten months or more Then a letter finally came saying, “Go down and meet the train Your son's a-coming home from the war” She smiled and went right down, she looked everywhere around But she could not see her soldier son in sight But as all the people passed, she saw her son at last When she did she could hardly believe her eyes Oh his face was all shot up and his hand was all blown off And he wore a metal brace around his waist He whispered kind of slow, in a voice she did not know While she couldn't even recognize his face! Oh! Lord! Not even recognize his face “Oh tell me, my darling son, pray tell me what they done How is it you come to be this way?” He tried his best to talk but his mouth could hardly move And the mother had to turn her face away “Don't you remember, Ma, when I went off to war You thought it was the best thing I could do? I was on the battleground, you were home . . . acting proud You wasn't there standing in my shoes” “Oh, and I thought when I was there, God, what am I doing here? I'm a-tryin' to kill somebody or die tryin' But the thing that scared me most was when my enemy came close And I saw that his face looked just like mine” Oh! Lord! Just like mine! “And I couldn't help but think, through the thunder rolling and stink That I was just a puppet in a play And through the roar and smoke, this string is finally broke And a cannonball blew my eyes away” As he turned away to walk, his Ma was still in shock At seein' the metal brace that helped him stand But as he turned to go, he called his mother close And he dropped his medals down into her hand Copyright © 1963, 1968 by Warner Bros.

Welcome to this week's episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! We hope you enjoy it. We're pretty sure you will, as this week Steve nad Gaz are joined by Pop, Collaborate & Listen's Dave Fensome to celebrate 30 year's since Alice in Chains recorded their now legendary MTV Unplugged session.From the troubles the band faced getting their shit together in the mid-90's; drug issues, the lack of touring, their fractured relationship with the press and each other, you'd have thought it almost impossible that Alice in Chains would be able to rework some of their finest ever material into the acoustic format. But on the 10th of April 1996 at the Majestic Theatre in Brooklyn, they did exactly that. Little did we know it would mark the end of the classic line up of the band, and a swansong from frontman Layne Stayley, and go on to be spoken about as once of the greatest ever live music broadcasts in history. We go through the entire story, from the troubles getting it made to the tragic aftermath, and give our take, track by track, of the entire performance.There's also chat about new music from Thundercat, Of the Trees, Slayyyter, The Scratch and The Math Rock Clangers... I mean Angine de Poitrine and live reports on President and Ignite.
Corey Morrissette is back with Sean and Todd for Part Two, and we're coming in hot. We pick up with a conversation about the radio industry — specifically how corporate ownership reshaped music selection and stripped DJs of the autonomy they once had to break new artists and take real risks. We talk about what it used to mean to hear a song on the radio for the first time, and how that experience has largely been replaced by pre-determined playlists built for engagement metrics rather than music discovery.On a more hopeful note, Corey shares his plans to host a show called Hoser Rock Hour on a community cooperative radio station — and honestly, the concept is exactly what radio needs more of. We also get into album-oriented rock stations and how AOR formats used to be the ones deciding which songs became singles, not the labels. It's a fascinating piece of music industry history that doesn't get talked about enough.From there we get into concert war stories, and this is where things really get going. We talk about seeing the Headpins live, with Darby Mills commanding a stage the way very few performers can. We swap memories of Pantera opening for Skid Row in Montreal — a lineup that, on paper, sounds almost too good to be true — and we get into the Killer Dwarfs, including a wild story about a vocal showdown between Sebastian Bach and Russell Dwarf that you genuinely have to hear to believe. These are the kinds of nights that remind you why live music matters.Then we take on one of rock's great what-ifs: was there actually a rivalry between Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen? Two of the greatest guitarists of their generation, both rising at exactly the same time — it's the kind of question that sounds like it should have a dramatic answer. The reality might surprise you.Things take a genuinely unexpected turn when we get into Mary Shelley's writing group — yes, that Mary Shelley — and the remarkable fact that the circle of writers who gave us Frankenstein and Dracula were all in the same room, cooking up horror together. Corey also recommends Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein film, which he found to be a faithful and beautifully crafted adaptation. It's one of those historical footnotes that sounds made up but absolutely isn't.We close things out with a look back at 1994 — one of the most stacked years in modern music history. Green Day, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Nirvana's MTV Unplugged, Oasis, Smashing Pumpkins, R.E.M., Beck — we go through the releases and argue about which ones still hold up. Along the way, Seanorama drops an unexpected piece of history about Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me to the End of Love" that genuinely stopped the conversation cold.It's been an absolute blast having Corey on for both parts.

Christian Meier llega por primera vez a La Clave Pop con Así Es La Ley, su sexto álbum como solista y el más ambicioso de su carrera. Grabado en Los Ángeles con el productor Gustavo Borner — el hombre detrás de Fito Páez, Andrés Calamaro y todos los MTV Unplugged latinos — y con músicos que han tocado con Elton John y Ringo Starr, el disco es rock puro: nueve canciones para escuchar de principio a fin.En esta entrevista, Christian habla con Marysabel Huston sobre el origen de “Puerto de Palos”, la canción que le escribió a Pedro Suárez-Vértiz meses después de su partida, y por qué decidió que el coro no tuviera letra. También hablamos de los 30 años de “Carreteras Mojadas” y de algo que pocos conocen: que todas las disqueras del Perú le dijeron que no, que trabajó de noche para pagar el estudio y que fundó su propia disquera para salir adelante.Un episodio sobre música, pérdida y lo que significa no rendirse.Así Es La Ley ya está disponible en todas las plataformas. Christian Meier está de gira por Perú y el 20 de mayo abre el show de Ed Sheeran en el Estadio Nacional de Lima.Keywords: Christian Meier, Así Es La Ley, Pedro Suárez-Vértiz, Arena Hash, Carreteras Mojadas, rock en español, música peruana, Gustavo Borner, podcast de música, La Clave Pop, entrevista Christian Meier 2026, artistas latinos, música latinaSigue a Marysabel Huston en sus redes sociales: Instagram y Threads: @marysabelhuston TikTok: @marysabelhuston Facebook: Marysabel.HustonX (antes Twitter): @hustonmarysabelYouTube: Marysabel HustonCréditos: Producción ejecutiva, edición y mezcla por Marysabel HustonMúsica: Una producción de Techy Fatule

We kicked off our first-ever podcast recorded on Zoom and covered a little bit of everything this week. From the nostalgia of collecting things growing up to the random corners of the internet that still keep us entertained.We talk about why collecting is basically in our DNA, share our Movie of the Week, and take a trip back to when MTV Unplugged was absolute peak music television. We also react to the news about Lou Holtz passing away, and get into the weird world of Facebook mugshot pages and why people can't stop scrolling them.Plus, we debate whether Druski is really that funny — are his sketches on the same level as classic sketch comedy like the Chappelle Show, or is it just social media hype?To wrap it up, we dive into the 90's music vibes that still hit different today.
Send us a textJoin Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musiciansWhat happens when four road‑tested artists put ego aside, pick up acoustics, and chase the pure heart of a song? We sat down with Monstr—a supergroup featuring members from The Superjesus, The Screaming Jets, TaxiRide and Dragon—to unpack how they're reviving the spirit of MTV Unplugged while keeping it fiercely alive for today's crowds. From their first studio step with Tears in Heaven to bold turns on Mariah Carey and Rod Stewart, the band shows why a strong melody and a truthful lyric can survive any arrangement.We dig into the art of curation: balancing Seattle-era grit with pop brilliance, threading Bryan Adams' emotional punch through Live's cathartic anthems, and slipping mandolin and 12‑string textures into places you don't expect. Each choice serves the room, not the playlist. That means rotating setlists, key changes that respect the singer, and arrangements that let the chorus breathe. Along the way, we swap stories about the moments these songs scored in our lives—because music is a time machine—and how that memory shapes performance. When Jimi lights up recalling Bryan Adams, or Pete leans into Emotions with a grin, you can feel the crowd lean closer.Another spark here is community. Monstr brings together fanbases that rarely overlap, and that chemistry is electric. Screaming Jets shirts stand next to TaxiRide diehards, and by the end of the night, new favorites have been made on all sides. We talk Adelaide Fringe excitement, the thrill of sold‑out rooms, and why recording select cuts from the live list is the next smart move—capturing the unguarded takes that turned skeptics into believers. If you love acoustic performances, 90s rock, classic pop, Aussie music, or just want to hear great songs stripped to the bone and rebuilt with care, this one is for you.Listen now, share it with a friend who lived through the MTV Unplugged era, and leave a quick review to help more music lovers find the show.

A bright blue guitar covered in orange koi fish vanished from a museum display … and Swifties immediately knew what it meant.That distinctive guitar—the one Taylor Swift used to record Speak Now—had been a gift. Hand crafted, by the founders of Taylor Guitars. When she brought it back on stage during her Eras tour, the fans went wild.In this episode, Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug tell the unlikely story behind one of the world's most respected acoustic guitar brands—how it grew from a tiny San Diego repair shop doing $30,000/year into a global business with nine-figure revenue. And how it survived every challenge that should've ended it: a distributor deal that didn't add up, a brutal market crash in the disco era, and such slow growth that—five years into the business—the founders could barely pay themselves a salary ($15/week).It's a story about serendipity, obsession, and the quiet power of a partnership where each person knows their lane—Bob with relentless craftsmanship, Kurt with the discipline to turn it into a massive business.Plus: the purple 12-string featured in Prince's “Raspberry Beret” … the MTV Unplugged boom that boosted the business … and why the founders eventually chose to convert the business to 100% employee ownership.What you'll learn:The operating principle that changed Taylor's production: one finished guitar beats 10 half-finished onesHow to make a slow-growth business survivable (and why Bob saw it as “education”)How to recognize a bad distribution dealThe design innovations that drew musicians to Taylor guitarsWhy Bob got a call from Taylor Swift's dad when she was 14—and the iconic guitar her fans grew to loveHow the business managed demand shocks during COVIDWhy an ESOP can be a founder's best “succession plan” decisionWhat a great partnership looks like in practiceTimestamps:(Timecodes are approximate and may shift depending on platform.)00:06:39 – The high school moment: “I didn't have $175 … so I thought, I'll just make a guitar.”00:07:14 – The American Dream shop: the hippie setup that became a launchpad00:10:20 – The “baseball bat neck” problem with guitars—and Bob's happy-accident innovation00:11:59 – Buying the shop for $3,700 … then realizing it didn't include the name (or phone number)00:22:31 – The sentence that changed everything: “Would you rather have 10 half-done guitars or one done guitar?”00:26:28 – The distributor deal that ended in layoffs: good sell job, bad math, and what they learned00:38:30 – Buying out the third partner: why the business doubled when “the brakes were off”00:59:52 – Before Taylor Swift was Taylor Swift: a phone call from a proud dad, and a promotional concert that almost went unheard01:09:36 – The inflation economics of guitar building***Hey—want to be a guest on HIBT?If you're building a business, why not get advice from some of the greatest entrepreneurs on Earth?Every Thursday on the HIBT Advice Line, a previous HIBT guest helps new entrepreneurs work through the challenges they're facing right now.

Send us a textOrder a copy of my debut film, Cape Cod Cthulhu!The infomercial products we saw in the 80s and 90s. The legacy of MTV Unplugged. The companies that went under when the Dot-Com bubble burst.Episode 228 carries us through the hazy shade of winter with a warm fire filled with GenX nostalgia.It kicks off with a look back at some of the most famous, or in some cases infamous, infomercial products we'd see when staying home from school in the 1980s and 1990s. Spray-on hair? Knives that can cut through cans? Stopping the insanity? It's all here and much more.Sometimes less is more, and sometimes quieter makes a louder sound. MTV Unplugged took music's polished studio sound and flipped it on its head. Rock, Pop, Grunge, Hip-Hop, and more made the jump into smaller settings and acoustic instruments. We will examine the history of one of the most influential television shows in music history.All bubbles burst. When the Dot-Com bubble burst at the turn of the 21st century, it created a vacuum that took with it many once-prosperous companies. This week's Top 5 will look at some of the biggest to burst along with the bubble.There is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking back at the first inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.You can support my work by becoming a member on Patreon.

For the first time in our nearly eight years of being a podcast, we are presenting you coverage of a full length episode entirely on our YouTube Channel! This week is week two of our episodic series following every Pearl Jam tour year in chronological order, which means we're covering one of the most important years in their history - 1992. After a year of playing small venues and opening up for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam's popularity was growing in 1992 mainly due to radio and music video networks playing Alive and Even Flow. But the band truly saw their fame escalate once their MTV Unplugged performance aired and the Jeremy music video hit rotation, the former of which happening two nights before this show in San Francisco. We'll get into deep discussion over how good the band sounded this night and Ed's on stage mannerisms featuring clips from the entire show. We'll also talk about some discoveries made when listening to this bootleg, including a Paul Simon song that was tagged, and perhaps the first hint at Yellow Ledbetter live. Massive versions of Black, Porch, Alive, Once and all of the favorites from the Ten era will dominate the conversation as well, and we pay tribute to a man deeply connected with San Francisco who we lost this past week, Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead.

Onverwacht veel Apple-nieuws in de Bright Podcast vandaag: Apple slaat de handen ineen met Google en komt met een eigen alternatief voor de Adobe-abonnementen. Verder is er goed en slecht LEGO-nieuwsen een interessante subsidie voor thuisbatterijen. Tips uit deze aflevering: Site: MTV is terug: MTV Rewind is een website zonder ads en diverse kanalen, waaronder MTV 80’s en MTV Unplugged. Oh, en check Primal S3 op HBO Max van Genndy Tartakovsky: hier onze review. Miniserie: His & Hers op Netflix. Een sterke mysterie thriller met hoofdrollen voor Jon Bernthal & Tessa Thompson. Zes afleveringen: hoe minder je weet hoe beter, maar het verhaal is ijzersterk. Serie: Hijack begint vandaag weer op Apple TV. In het eerste deel zat Idris Elba in een gekaapt vliegtuig en zal je net zien: nu zit hij in een gekaapte trein. Je zou denken dat dat minder eng is, maar ze hebben ongetwijfeld allemaal enge dingen bedacht want het vorige seizoen was voortdurend op het puntje van je stoel zitten.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Spoločnosť Paramount na jeseň tohto roka oznámila, že hudobná stanica MTV končí všade okrem Spojených štátov a Kanady. Prežije len kanál, ktorý vysiela reality shows. Končia u nás teda MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV a MTV Live. Ani tie zaoceánske stanice nemusia prežiť najbližšie obdobie, pretože ich vlastník povedal, že bude ich fungovanie ešte analyzovať. Z televízie 90. rokov si živo pamätám niekoľko vecí – okrem Mečiarovho "Neublížil som" tam patrí aj videoklip kapely Nirvana k piesni Heart Shaped Box na MTV. Zízala som naň ako zhypnotizovaná, aj som sa trochu bála, bola som, predsa len, stále dieťa. Ale nikdy som sa nedonútila ho prepnúť a s otvorenými ústami sledovala Kurta Cobaina a výraznú symboliku kulís a postáv v klipe. To pre mňa osobne znamená MTV, aj keď mi je jasné, že táto stanica priniesla svetu oveľa viac. Formovala generácie, revolucionalizovala hudobný priemysel a obohatila nás výnimočným MTV Unplugged. V novom roku už však nebude vysielať inde ako v Spojených štátoch a Kanade. Je to skutočne koniec jednej éry, ako tvrdia hádam všetky titulky článkov alebo sa táto éra skončila už oveľa dávnejšie? Nikola Šuliková Bajánová sa o prvej hudobnej stanici na svete, jej význame, prínose a napokon aj páde rozpráva s hudobným publicistom, moderátorom a producentom Jurajom Čurným. – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Odoberajte aj audio verziu denného newslettra SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/brifing See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Music in Me, I'm taking you on a nostalgic, hilarious, and totally entertaining journey through the history of MTV — the channel that changed music forever. From the very first rocket launch and “Video Killed the Radio Star,” to the golden age of iconic music videos, to the reality-TV takeover that none of us were ready for but all of us watched anyway… we're covering it all. I share my own memories of growing up glued to MTV for the newest videos (and, later, the wild drama of The Real World), while breaking down how the channel shaped music, culture, fashion, and pop history as we know it. If you've ever danced in your bedroom, waited hours for your favorite video, or gotten way too invested in an MTV reality show — this episode is for you.THE LAUNCH OF MTV 8/1/81The Magic of Michael Jackson's Thriller Ep 62Purple Reign: The Story of Prince Ep 93What did you think of this episode?

Welcome to “When Words Fail, Music Speaks,” the podcast that turns melodies into medicine for the soul.In today's episode host James Cox sits down with Jastin Artis—a gold‑and‑platinum‑streamed indie producer, songwriter, A&R mentor, and relentless “chronic‑health warrior.” From the origins of his unusual middle name—Jastin, a blend of his parents' names, and Artist, a tribute to a grandfather he never met—to his journey from a class‑room clarinet player to a guitar‑driven “hip‑hop Renaissance” creator, Justin shares the stories that have shaped his sound.We'll dive deep into his creative process, exploring how a simple keyboard chord evolves into the layered instrumentals of Love in Darkness and the genre‑bending anthem “Tag This.” Jastin reveals the challenges of living with fibromyalgia, insomnia and low testosterone, and how music, meditation, video games, and even Netflix binge‑watching become his lifelines when depression looms.The conversation also touches on:The power of naming and identity in an artis' career.The mastermind collaborations he'd love to see—Pharrell, Jimi Hendrix, and a female legend like Queen Latifah or Alanis Morissette.The songs that move him to the brink of tears—Lauryn Hill's MTV Unplugged performance and John Mayer's “Gravity.”A glimpse of his future merch empire (stickers, throw‑pillows, beach towels) and his relentless drive to turn streams into tangible support for creators.If you've ever felt the weight of chronic illness, the sting of creative doubt, or simply crave a soundtrack for resilience, this episode is your reminder that when words stumble, music never does. Grab your headphones, press play, and let Jastin's story inspire the next stanza of your own journey.As always.....when words fail...music speaks!
Well known indie artist Rebecca Pidgeon conceived of her upcoming release "Unillusion" (August 29th release)as a more relaxed and intimate recording from the start to contrast with the intricate, polished, layered sound of her most recent albums. When she discussed her ideas with Perdomo, he had her look at episodes of MTV Unplugged series and Rebecca decided then and there, "It felt like the right approach —minimal, human, with moments that are as stripped down as just voice and acoustic guitar." Pidgeon and Fernando went into the studio with a team of outstanding musicians: Perdomo (bass, electric guitar); Andy Studer (violin, viola), Eszter Balint (violin on "Monkey Man" and "Where is the Man"); Matt Tecu (drums); Rebecca on acoustic guitar and vocals. Together they recapture the unfiltered warmth and immediacy of her earliest recordings while showing impressive sonic evolution showcasing her ever-maturing songwriting. The album's lyric themes range from the epic to the deeply personal. Tracks like "Dasharatha" draw inspiration from the ancient Indian epic poem, the Ramayana, weaving timeless tales of jealousy, grief, and rebirth into contemporary idiom recalling work like Bob Dylan's "Isis" or PJ Harvey's retelling of the Biblical story of Samson and Delilah in "Hair." More personal tracks venture into raw, emotional territories, resonating with listeners on a deeply human level.
