“I felt this really compelling amount of nostalgia and I was kind of living in the past, so I thought that maybe songwriting was a way to capture that and a way to protect it, because I felt like it was slipping away -- just... childhood," says Bedouine's Azniv Korkejian, talking about the inspiration for her beautiful new album, Neon Summer Skin. "I felt really sad about it and I started to write with that in mind and it was kind of more than anything kind of therapeutic for me, I understood that I needed to address it because I understood that it was all consuming.”It was such a pleasure to finally get to do this interview with Azniv. We've been friends for years, but there was still so much I didn't know about her earlier life and her creative journey. In episode 145, we delve into that evolutionary stuff: singing along with Mariah Carey's Music Box as a kid, falling in love with artists like The Strokes and Norah Jones as she got a bit older, working in sound editing for film and TV after college, and eventually starting to perform her own music a little more than a decade ago. And we also talk about the making of Neon Summer Skin and how it helped her process some of the bittersweet nostalgia she was feeling about childhood and the safety of family. Bedouine has a North American tour starting in mid-October. Get tickets here.

Montague Summers collected nightmarish legends from around the world that have become movie and fiction fodder--vampires, the werewolf, and witchcraft. Novelist and lawyer John F. Wirenius visits the podcast to discuss his new biography of the clergyman and curator of the macabre. The book includes a chapter on Dark Shadows, (super)naturally. Along the way, John talks about his fandom for Dark Shadows and touches upon Summers' influence on Gothic cinema and television.Terror at Collinwood and Shilling Shockers shirts, stickers, mugs, and merch at the Penny Dreadful XIII TeePublic shopHelp support the podcast by donating at Buy Me a CoffeeFollow the Terror at Collinwood Facebook pageMontague Summers, Occultist: A Study of the Writings on Witches, Vampires and Werewolves by John F.

In this episode, Car Con Carne heads to Joliet for a special live conversation from inside the Illinois Rock & Roll Museum on Route 66 (9 W. Cass St.). Founder Ron Romero joins me to preview the 2026 Illinois Rock & Roll Museum Hall of Fame induction ceremony taking place Sunday, September 27, at the Harris Theater in Chicago. Ron breaks down the extensive public nomination and voting process, how the museum preserves and documents Illinois music history across all genres, and new initiatives like the upcoming Amplify Illinois project (which I agreed to help with). We dive into this year's stacked class of inductees and honorees, including Terri Hemmert, Plain White T's, Jim Peterik, Kevin Cronin, Koko Taylor, The Flock, The Boyzz, Curtis Mayfield, WDRV (The Drive), and Brunswick Records. Plus, Ron shares stories about the museum's roots, the all-star house band, and what fans can expect on induction night.

For this episode, I caught up with Dogs With Hats founder/frontman Sam Shrier outside Beat Kitchen to talk about the band's rapid rise, creative evolution, and upcoming plans. Sam details how Dogs with Hats grew from a solo bedroom recording project into a tight, hard-touring unit, as well as the organic recording sessions at Palisade Studios for their debut EP Lampshades at the Party. We also get into the impact of their infectious song "Almost Famous," navigating major-label interest on DIY terms, and why staying committed to craft and full-length album cohesion matters far more than feeding the modern release algorithm.

fWotD Episode 3405: Music Box (album) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 31 August 2026, is Music Box (album).Music Box is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey. It was released on August 31, 1993, by Columbia Records. In an attempt to appeal to a wider audience, Carey sought a radio-friendly approach for Music Box. Music Box saw Carey working with both new and returning producers and songwriters, including Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Robert Clivillés, Walter Afanasieff, David Cole, and Daryl Simmons. It is a pop and R&B album infused with soul, gospel, dance, and jazz. Music Box consists mainly of pop ballads and uptempo dance tracks. Despite the involvement of multiple producers, most of the songwriting was handled by Carey and Afanasieff, who had previously collaborated on Emotions (1991), continuing a partnership that would conclude with Butterfly (1997). She also experimented with different production techniques, including a more live-oriented sound and a more restrained use of her upper register.Music Box was promoted with the North American Music Box Tour—her debut concert tour—and five singles. The first two, "Dreamlover" and "Hero", spent eight and four consecutive weeks at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, respectively. They were nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 36th (1994) and 37th (1995) Annual Grammy Awards, respectively. The international third and fourth singles, "Without You" and "Anytime You Need a Friend", were commercially successful worldwide; "Without You" became her most successful song globally. In the US, "Without You" and "Never Forget You" were issued as a double A-side single that reached the top three of the Hot 100.On release, Music Box received generally mixed reviews from music critics, who praised Carey's vocal performance and some of the songs but criticized its mellow, formulaic, and subdued lyricism. Retrospective reviews have been more positive; many have underscored its significance in her career. The album topped the charts in fifteen countries, including Australia, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. In the United States, it topped the Billboard 200 for eight non-consecutive weeks and was certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America. Music Box remains Carey's bestseller and one of the best-selling albums of all time, with over 30 million copies sold worldwide.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:31 UTC on Monday, 31 August 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Music Box (album) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ayanda.

In addition, Robert shares his memories of attending many Dark Shadows Festivals and ShadowCons. Other topics include teen magazines, visiting the old DS studio, attending the Paley Center DS Reunion event, and more!

Blue October's Matt Noveskey | 20 Years of Foiled, 1.5 Billion Streams & a Full-Circle JourneySome interviews are about meeting someone for the first time. This one is about reconnecting with a story that has been part of mine for more than 25 years.I first saw Blue October at Rock Fest 2000 in Omaha, Nebraska—a legendary lineup featuring 311, Stone Temple Pilots, Incubus, Papa Roach, Nickelback and more. Months later, I opened for Blue October at the Ranch Bowl and eventually several more times, including at the Music Box. There was even a day spent hanging out at Fun-Plex before one of their Omaha shows.Then, in 2006, Justin Furstenfeld unexpectedly showed up at my band's show at Knickerbockers in Lincoln. He loved our set, gave us Blue October's manager's number, and asked if we wanted to tour. That opportunity ultimately became one of the moments that changed the trajectory of my band.Years later, I found myself working security when Blue October returned to Lincoln.Now, more than 25 years after I first saw the band, I sit down with bassist Matt Noveskey.We talk about Blue October's early days, the road to Foiled, the explosive success of “Hate Me” and “Into the Ocean,” the challenges that came with that success, and what has allowed the band to remain creatively relevant nearly three decades later.We also dive into the 20th anniversary of Foiled, the album's lasting impact, Blue October's connection with generations of fans, and the incredible milestone of their catalog surpassing 1.5 billion streams.For me, this conversation is more than an interview. It's a full-circle moment with a band whose story has intersected with mine in ways I never could have predicted back in 2000.Listen. Watch. Subscribe.

Some actors make an impression. Katy Kurtzman made two—and both are unforgettable. Little House fans first fell in love with her as Anna Gillberg in the beloved Season 3 episode "The Music Box," where she delivered one of the most heartfelt performances in the series as a shy young girl with a stutter who finds an unlikely friend in Laura Ingalls (and unfortunately crosses paths with one very smug Nellie Oleson and one very stolen music box). She later returned as young Caroline Quiner in "I Remember, I Remember," giving us a sweet glimpse into the early romance of Charles and Caroline. Beyond Walnut Grove, Katy built an impressive career with starring roles in television movies, hit series, and earned three Young Artist Award nominations before expanding into writing, directing, producing, and coaching the next generation of performers.In this episode, we have the absolute joy of talking with the incredible Katy Kurtzman—and wow, what a guest. She's funny, dynamic, honest, refreshingly open, and shares stories with the same heart she brought to every performance.

Singer/songwriter Josh Joplin sits down to talk about the silver anniversary of his 2001 album, Useful Music. The silver anniversary finds Josh's breakthrough pressed onto handsome vinyl alongside the digital release of "Useful Music (The Silver Anniversary Sessions)," a warts-and-all revisiting of the album's creation. Beyond the Useful Music reminiscence, Josh dives into his most recent album, Gap Year (stylized as GpYr). He shares the personal evolution behind its tracklist, focusing on the definitive mission statement of "Colored Copies", the resilience found within "Predator and Prey", and the full-circle emotional realization of "Before the Light Takes Us," a standout track featuring beautifully tracked backing vocals by his daughter. Josh also talks about what led him to relocate to Chicago in recent years, and how the adjustment has affected him creatively and motivated him professionally. Catch Josh Joplin live at The Hideout for a special matinee show on October 17th!

On a sweltering 90-degree summer day, Deanna Belos of Sincere Engineer joins James VanOsdol in the car for episode 1128 of Car Con Carne. To beat the heat, they enjoy ice cream from Rainbow Cone while diving into the new Sincere Engineer album, Probable Claws, which arrives on June 26th. Deanna shares behind-the-scenes stories about writing the tracks, and how her songwriting has evolved to focus on a more refined, classic structure for this release. The conversation covers the fascinating details behind the album's tracks, including the opening song "Twist My Tongue" and the standout track (and JVO favorite) "LOL," which features a surprise spoken-word introduction from actor Wil Wheaton. Deanna explains how that internet friendship blossomed, leading to a fun discussion about her own name being inspired by Deanna Troi from Star Trek: The Next Generation. She also reveals the hilarious, stealthy process of filming her latest music video inside a Jewel grocery store right before closing time. As Sincere Engineer prepares for a massive summer ahead, Deanna also previews her upcoming performances at major Midwestern festivals, including Summerfest in Milwaukee on June 25th and a return to Chicago for Riot Fest in September.  Check out Probable Claws on June 26! ## Exploding House Printing is here for all of your screen printing, embroidery and other merchandising needs.

This is a crossover episode with my friends Ben Montgomery and Wayne Fugate from Records Revisited! Records Revisited is a show that celebrates the magic of music. Each episode they have a distinguished guest - I emphasize distinguished as I have appeared seven (?) times - as of this writing. The group decides on an album to listen to and discuss and then rank the songs on the record from their favorite to least favorite. Then, they turn the mics on and go track by track to defend their rankings. I love those guys and their show so I jumped at the chance to record this episode with them.  The idea came from Ben's brain. Ron Pope is a songwriter from New York who now makes his home in Nashville. He has been a guest on both The Marinade and Records Revisited. We are all huge fans of his music and it was an honor to have this conversation. In June of 2025, Ron released a song called "Things Jesus Didn't Say," which inspired Ben to ask: What are our favorite protest songs? Each of us brought five songs to Ron's show at Tuffy's Music Box in Sanford, FL, earlier this year, sat down in the green room, turned on the mics, and made some magic.

Zeb and Ray from the fantastic North Carolina band Bask join me for this episode as we chat on the back patio of Livewire Lounge in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood. Bask released their epic, genre-defying album The Turning last year, blending elements of psych, prog, atmospheric rock, and country into an incredibly awesome, cinematic vibe. We dig into their collaborative songwriting evolution, how they execute their massive sonic dynamics, and how their music serves as a true journey for the listener. Plus, since the interview fell on Zeb's birthday, we talk about the band's essential Chicago birthday stop: hitting up Johnny's Beef in Elmwood Park (this band knows how to maximize their tour down time).   Support Our Sponsor Exploding House Printing is here for all of your screen printing, embroidery and other merchandising needs.

L7 takes victory lap on 'Last Hurrah' tour (Episode 1124) L7 is embarking on their final run, The Last Hurrah Tour, capping off a legendary career with a final celebration of iconic songs, hooks, and unforgettable riffs. For Chicago fans, the circle closes at the Vic Theatre on Sunday, November 1, a stage the band hasn't commanded since 1994. In this episode, L7 co-founder, guitarist, and vocalist Donita Sparks joins the show to reflect on the long road, the band's legacy, and what it means to finally say goodbye on their own terms. Donita looks back at the band's transition from its indie roots to early 90s alternative mainstays and highlights along the way, like being anointed by John Waters for Serial Mom. "We wanted our gender to not be relevant... we just wanted to prove in a punk rock way that you could throw a band together, work hard, and go on tour." — Donita Sparks Beyond the nostalgia, Donita dives deep into the sonic DNA of L7, explaining why they will always be a "guitar band, not a vocal band." She opens up about the realities of the 90s major label system, the resilience it took to create The Beauty Process: Triple Platinum, and the joy of reconnecting with fans over the last decade. It's a candid conversation about hard work, and ultimately, a mission accomplished. The end is near, and you don't want to miss the last hurrah.

WELCOME TO ATHCASTMUSIC: THE MUSIC OF ATHENS GA, NOW AND THEN. Quentin Love, is an up-and-coming musician based in the Athens, Georgia. He describes himself as a “songwriter and musician. I play everything on my records and produce them myself.” He maintains he doesn't have a select style of music. “However, if you have heard Quention, which you should, he definitely has some vintage Californian music. I definitely caught wind of Brian Wilson in many of his songs.This is Quentin's first podcast, and he talks about why he records by himself, where he started his life on this planet and what's in the future There are a total of 7 previous released EP's and albums, with his 8th and newest called “Music Box.” Here is me with this rising Athens Musician, Quentin Love.Listening to Quentin continuously reminds me of the young and talented musicians and bands we have here in Athens. I repeat myself many times, it must be over 200 when all is said and done. Quentin is truly remarkable in his abilities to work on these albums himself and how good they sound. A lot of musicians will still record on four track cassette. It's crazy but it's true. I have Quentin's contact and some other info about him in my liner notes. Now to the heavy part…..Today is the end of season 5 of AthCastMusic. I always take a sabbatical of 3-4 months after each season. Usually that time allows me to rest, put together guests for the next season and decide on how I'd like my podcast to continue. But I have more to think about today. Today is the last time at Tweed Recording and working with Kayla Dover, my engineer from day 1. Kayla and I fit together like peanut butter and jelly! But Kayla's work just gets better and better and she has to focus on the unbelievable things going on at Tweed Recording. I cannot thank Andrew Ratcliffe enough for giving me this incredible space to record in and Kayla jumping in as my engineer with a vengeance. I will miss working with her!What this means is, I have to reevaluate whether I move forward with some of the ideas I've already had, change the format of the podcast or just say “I did it!” and engage in more activities and people in my life. I've decided to put some feelers out there and gather some thoughts and then look deep into my heart and decide if I should continue. Make no mistake about it though, I LOVE this baby of mine called AthCastMusic and the decisions are difficult no matter which way I go. Until then, this is Marlene Sokol Stewart, and this is my Podcast, AthCastMusic..BUT REMEMBER ...IF YOU DON'T LISTEN, YOU CAN'T HEAR!AthCastMusic (©): The Music of Athens Georgia, Now and ThenSEASON:5 EPISODE: 60LENGTH: 46:30PUBLISHED: THURSDAY, MAY 28UPDATED BI - WEEKLY ON THURSDAYSENGINEER: KAYLA DOVERRECORDED AT TWEED RECORDING AUDIO PRODUCTION SCHOOLPHOTOS BY: MARLENE SOKOL - STEWART & KAYLA DOVERPRODUCER: MARLENE SOKOL STEWARTCONTACT FOR ATHCASTMUSIC:EMAIL: marlene@athcastmusic.comINSTAGRAM: AthCastMusicFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550294283019TO CONTACGT QUENTIN LOVE: https://quentinlove.bandcamp.comIG: QUENTIN_LOVE516

She restores antique music boxes, so hearing one play at odd hours isn't unusual. Testing, adjusting, letting them run—it's all part of the process, and most strange sounds have a simple explanation if you know what to listen for. When one started playing from her office late at night, she assumed it was something minor, the kind of small oversight that happens when you've been working on multiple pieces at once.But then it happened again. And then again.Always late. Always when the house was quiet enough to hear it clearly from down the hall. It didn't behave like the others she'd worked on, and the pattern never quite made sense the way a mechanical issue should.She tried to treat it like any other project—checking it, moving it, setting it aside—but eventually, she stopped approaching it that way at all.#RealGhostStories #HauntedMusicBox #ParanormalActivity #GhostStory #HauntedObject #AntiqueHaunting #UnexplainedMusic #EstateSaleFind #CreepyAtNight #TrueGhostStory Love real ghost stories?

"We're a little egoless. We're happy to just do the content, be a part of the lighting, or help anybody execute and create something cool." — Robb Jibson In this episode, I sit down with Robb Jibson, the founder and creative director of So Midwest, a Chicago-based production design firm. Robb has spent decades building the visual experiences that define live music for artists like Fall Out Boy, Incubus, and Panic! At The Disco. We discuss his journey from a teenager in Michigan to the center of the concert production world. Episode highlights The "Tetanus" origin story: Robb recounts his early days in a metal band called Tetanus and how an attempt to use car headlights for stage lighting led to a run-in with the law and a formative stint doing community service at the Frauenthal Theater. Touring with the Backstreet Boys: At just 19 years old, Robb landed a spot on a tour with the Backstreet Boys during the height of their popularity. The birth of So Midwest: Originally started as a tax shelter while touring with Incubus, the company name was inspired by a simple 1-inch button found at the Empty Bottle. The shift to motion graphics: Robb explains how the industry transitioned from "smoky beams of light" to complex video content and 3D animation around 2007. Working with Chicago legends: We talk about his long-standing relationships with local favorites like Alkaline Trio, The Lawrence Arms, and Chevelle.

In this episode of Car Con Carne, host James VanOsdol talks with Colombian icon Andrés Cepeda. A multi-Latin Grammy winner and 2026 Grammy nominee for his album Bogota, Cepeda visits the podcast to discuss his upcoming performance at the Riviera Theatre on May 10. This Chicago date marks the beginning of the final leg of a tour that has spanned two years and multiple continents. Highlights from the conversation Cepeda reflects on his 30 years in the music industry, offering insights into his creative process and his evolution from a teenage rock musician to a global solo artist. Starting the US tour in Chicago: Although the tour routing began in Chicago due to logistics, Cepeda shares his excitement about returning to the city where he has performed on several previous tours. The power of storytelling: Cepeda explains how sharing the anecdotes behind his songs helps him connect with multi-generational audiences, including those who may not be familiar with his music. Finding an authentic voice: Having served as a mentor on The Voice and The Voice Kids, Cepeda emphasizes the importance of originality for independent artists. He suggests that authenticity is the only way to stand out in a world where thousands of songs are released daily. The recording of Bogota: The album was recorded in Los Angeles and Bogota using analog techniques. Cepeda describes the experience of "locking himself in" with a band for weeks to capture a more organic, realistic sound. What comes next: As the Bogota tour concludes, Cepeda is already looking toward the future. He plans to begin a new project in July and is working with several producers on a fresh album this summer. Event details Catch Andrés Cepeda live as he kicks off his latest run of shows. Venue: Riviera Theatre (Lawrence and Broadway, Chicago) Date: May 10, 2026 The Show: A full band performance featuring musicians who have collaborated with Cepeda for over 20 years.

James VanOsdol sits down with Sean Mulroney at the legendary Gallery Cabaret in Bucktown to discuss the evolving landscape of Chicago's music scene. Mulroney, the owner of Double Door, shares major updates regarding the iconic venue's future and his new role as the operator of Gallery Cabaret.     A new chapter at Gallery Cabaret After 38 years as a Bucktown staple, Gallery Cabaret is undergoing a revitalization under Mulroney's guidance. The goal is to preserve the dive bar's classic Chicago vibe while elevating the experience for artists and patrons. Upgraded Sound: The venue now features a professional sound system, incorporating high-end gear from the Double Door collection. Community Focus: The heart of the bar remains its open mic nights, which provide a platform for everyone from jazz musicians to poets. Staff Continuity: To maintain the bar's soul, Mulroney has retained a mix of legacy staff and new team members. The pivot of Double Door Mulroney provides a candid update on the Double Door relocation. While the previously announced move to the Wilson Theater in Uptown is no longer moving forward, the brand is far from dead. "Double Door was never intended to be a nine million dollar venue. The math doesn't work for a 750-capacity club." The high costs and rigid requirements of city grant programs made the Wilson Theater project unfeasible. Instead, Mulroney is currently scouting a new location that aligns with the "roadhouse" spirit of the original Double Door. He is currently working through zoning and city requirements to bring this new vision to life. Open mic and booking information Gallery Cabaret continues to be a home for local talent. Musicians, poets, and performers of all stripes are encouraged to participate in the weekly schedule: Sundays: Open Mic (Sign-up at 6:30 PM). Tuesdays: Open Mic hosted by Victor. Thursdays: Open Mic hosted by Kelly Wazer. Artists interested in booking a set or showing art can reach out to the venue directly at bookinggallerycabaret@gmail.com.   Exploding House Printing is here for all of your screen printing, embroidery and other merchandising needs.  They're local, headquartered in the heart of Hermosa.
