En este episodio de Observador Paranormal, Juan Manuel Torreblanca (compositor y pianista) conversa con Juan Manuel Torreblanca y Roberto Belmont sobre la sobrenaturalidad de lo creativo: cómo el arte puede sentirse como una fuente externa, cómo los sueños pueden traer letras completas y cómo la sensibilidad musical se relaciona con el trabajo emocional. Hablan de terapia a partir de una carta astral, de la técnica Meisner y del reto de “cerrar” procesos cuando se abren emociones intensas; también de muerte, duelo y música como memoria (incluida una canción pensada para un funeral y la idea de dejar una lista de reproducción para los hijos). El episodio recorre el vínculo entre belleza y verdad en la música, referencias como PJ Harvey, Björk, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Jeff Buckley y They Might Be Giants, y termina con una mirada realista a la industria musical, la inspiración como disciplina y el lanzamiento del proyecto Protocolo de Caídas como una obra en actos.

The supernatural side of music: Juan Manuel Torreblanca on dreams, astrology, and the creative mystery In this episode of Observador Paranormal, Juan Manuel Torreblanca joins hosts Juan Manuel Torreblanca and Roberto Belmont for a deep, human talk about the unseen mechanics of artistry. They unpack how songwriting can feel like channeling, how dreams can seed lyrics and melodies, and how emotional work (including Meisner repetition) can open powerful inner material that requires conscious “closing” tools afterward. The episode touches on grief, funeral rituals, and leaving music as a message for children, then pivots into the tension between beauty and truth in art, with references to PJ Harvey, Björk, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Jeff Buckley, and They Might Be Giants. It closes with a clear-eyed view of the music industry and an update on Torreblanca's release plan for Protocolo de Caídas, structured as acts.

O episódio aborda morte, memória e a ideia de deixar uma seleção de músicas para os filhos, além do contraste entre beleza e verdade na arte, com referências a PJ Harvey, Björk, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Jeff Buckley e They Might Be Giants.

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Ryan Cabrera. After graduating from high school, Cabrera played acoustic guitar in Rubix Groove, opening for Cheap Trick and Third Eye Blind. A solo career came calling, though, leading to early 2000s pop stardom, mall tours, and a platinum album. That eventually segued into guest appearances on The Hills and meeting WWE superstar Alexa Bliss at a SmackDown premiere in LA, whom he married in 2022. Sitting down with Madden, the duo has a funny, vulnerable conversation about growing up in public, balancing family and touring, and what success means. ------- Chapters (0:00) Intro (3:02) Married to a Wrestler (8:32) On-Stage Persona (11:59) Good Charlotte's Christmas Performances (15:00) Boy Bands & Emo Writing (19:00) Mall Tours & The Early Years (23:15) Keeping Integrity in the Music Industry (27:05) Performing When You're Not Okay (28:00) Fatherhood Changes Everything (32:38) Therapy & Fatherhood (36:06) How Ryan Met Alexa Bliss (40:30) The Stalker Experience (43:07) The Dark Side of Fame (45:50) Self-Esteem & Self-Acceptance (48:00) Handling Conflict in Marriage (49:00) What Success Really Takes (54:28) Returning to Music After Fatherhood (57:53) Ryan Key & Ryan Cabrera's Friendship ------- Listen to their Artist Friendly conversation on ⁠⁠Spotify.⁠ ------- Follow Artist Friendly!

Natasha Owens was once canceled for her vocal support of President Trump and conservative values. The former Christian music mainstay has become a popular MAGA brand, vindicated by the massive success of her number one smash hit, Trump Won. And despite ongoing censorship, her music has topped music charts and generated billions of social media impressions, solidifying her as a leading voice at the intersection of faith, patriotism, and culture.Today, Natasha Owens is a patriotic powerhouse who started the trend of conservative anthems topping the pop charts, and recently has responded to Bruce Springsteen's new protest song, which criticizes federal immigration enforcement actions in Minneapolis, with a song of her own. Natasha's new song, The Boss, was released on February 6th, and the new single immediately debuted to number one on the iTunes rock chart, knocking Springsteen to number two, and landed at number two in the iTunes all genres chart ahead of Springsteen, and new singles from Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, T.I. and more. The new single is available on all platforms now.Before Natasha Owens took aim at Bruce Springsteen's protest song and topped the charts with her new single The Boss, she also released another song called The Somali Waltz.Natasha recently met with President Trump in the Oval Office at the White House to present him with an award plaque commemorating the tremendous success of her single, The Chosen One. The release of The Chosen One does mark the last time Natasha was on the program, and I look forward to bringing her on again to talk about not just her recent two singles, but also the seventh studio album That's America which released on October 2025.

Some Dare Call It Conspiracy is an award-winning podcast that examines conspiracy theories, misinformation, and moral panics — not from the outside, but from the inside.The show is co-created and hosted by Brent Lee and Neil Sanders, both former insiders in the conspiracy world who spent years immersed in conspiracy belief, alternative media, and grassroots activism before walking away. Their experience gives them first-hand insight into how conspiracy narratives are built, why they feel so convincing, and why leaving those communities can be difficult.Drawing on lived experience, deep research, and expert interviews — alongside a distinctly British sense of humour — the podcast breaks down conspiracy culture with clarity and bite. Episodes vary in format, but all focus on who benefits when misinformation spreads, how harm is done, and how bad ideas gain influence.The result is a show that is sceptical without being smug, serious about real-world consequences without losing its edge, and unafraid to call out grift and power where it thrives.Join us to discover where the truth… lies.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/some-dare-call-it-conspiracy--5932731/support.Some Dare Call It ConspiracyAn investigative podcast hosted by Brent Lee and Neil Sanders.Website: https://www.somedarecallitconspiracy.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/somedarecallitconspiracyTwitter/X: https://x.com/somedarepodcastBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/somedarepodcast.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/somedarecallitconspiracyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/somedarecallitconspiracyTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@somedarecallitconspiracyYouTube: https://youtube.com/@somedarecallitconspiracyContact: somedarecallitconspiracy@gmail.com

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on AI-generated music.

The Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA) yesterday hosted an AV Room briefing for Members of the Oireachtas focused on the growing role of artificial intelligence in the music sector. The presentation highlighted the importance of the music industry to the Irish economy and the potential for AI to be a powerful and transformative tool for creativity and growth, while warning that without safeguards and enforcement of laws governing its usage, its misuse poses serious risks to artists, consumers and the wider economy. The average adult in Ireland spends close to €800 per year on music across streaming, physical formats, merchandise and live events. This economic activity sustains thousands of jobs across live performance, production, hospitality and the wider night-time sector and provides €1 billion to the Irish economy. IRMA emphasised that AI is a permanent feature of the technological landscape and that the industry is keen to approach AI in a constructive manner. However, where copyrighted works are used without consent or compensation, the consequences for artists and the wider economy are serious. To demonstrate the sophistication and accessibility of current tools, with the panel shared a live deepfake example: a digitally generated version of Wicklow-Wexford TD Malcolm Byrne (made with his prior consent). The demonstration highlighted the potential misuse of such technology in both the music industry and political life, and the possibilities of its ethical and lawful use. IRMA called on legislators to ensure: Full and robust enforcement of copyright and intellectual property law Clear rules governing the lawful use of copyrighted works in AI training Transparency and accountability from AI developers A commercial licensing market that guarantees fair remuneration for creators. IRMA head of Public Affairs and Communications, David Kitching, said: "Irish music is a global success story, with real social, cultural and economic value.. AI has the potential to create new opportunities, but it must operate within a framework that respects the law and values human creativity." He added: "If we fail to enforce copyright protections in the AI era, we risk undermining a sector worth €1 billion annually and the thousands of livelihoods it supports. Legislators have a critical role in ensuring innovation and creativity can thrive side by side."

OddKidOut pulls up to talk creativity, career pivots, and how he built a lane by refusing to stay in one lane. From a wild “one night in LA” moment that turned into living with Skrillex, to learning the power of simplicity, motifs, and world-building inside a track, this episode is packed with real producer talk.We get into finger drumming, Maschine, Ableton workflow, label experiences (and what labels actually do beyond “plays”), and the mindset shift that helped him go from experimenting across genres to funneling his sound into a stronger live show + artist identity.In this episode:The Skrillex story: how one session turned into moving to LA and building a careerThe biggest lesson from watching Skrillex work: simplicity, callbacks, and using what's already in the trackWhy OddKidOut avoids reference tracks, templates, and overthinking—“fishing” for ideas insteadMaschine as an instrument (not a DAW): why it's strictly performance-first for himHow he navigated releasing across major labels—and the real “perks” that matter (touring, games, community, opportunities)Performing without CDJs: how to make venues/sound techs love you even with extra gearEDM friendships vs business relationships: building real connections without forcing itIf you're a producer trying to find your identity, improve your workflow, or understand how to play the long game in electronic music, this one's for you.

The lights go down, the bass hits, and we realize one screening won't be enough. We grab two nights of Stray Kids on the big screen, get our biases wrecked by Changbin's power and duality, and come away convinced: repetition doesn't dilute the moment, it deepens it. Between the close-up interviews, unit stages, and a set design that refuses to sit still, the film turns performance into a masterclass in craft and stamina.We start with something softer but equally charged: what a “final” wave of Arashi merch means when a group has soundtracked your life. Clear files, Uchiwa, and years of magazines aren't clutter; they're a living archive. That sparks a bigger idea—turn collections into a fan-led exhibit at a cafe or gallery, with donations supporting causes that align with the artists' values. Curation by the community, for the community.From there, we widen the lens. Trainee life and dorm pressure echo our own cramped roommate horror stories; proximity builds friction, but it also creates performance chemistry you can't fake. We look at how labels are stepping up legal action against malicious posts and how online “anonymous” doesn't hold in court. And when BTS's V has private messages surface as evidence without consent, we draw a line: public figures deserve boundaries, and consent still matters, even in headline season.We also track industry shifts that signal real change. BMSG moves toward a COO and a risk compliance office—proof that creativity scales best with structure. NUMBER_i taps WME for international growth, hinting at U.S. stages and maybe a tour circuit. And for KCON, we make the Boston case—great venues, easy transit, fans who show up—and map how regional stops can build lasting audiences beyond the usual LA and (once upon a time) NYC anchors.If you're here for fandom realities, tour talk, governance moves, and the thrill of getting your heart hijacked by a performance, you're in the right place.

Last month, Conn-Selmer – a manufacturer that's said to be the last to produce brass musical instruments in the United States – announced that it would be closing its plant in Eastlake, Ohio.And while it's not exactly an unfamiliar story, this situation has a bit of an interesting twist: the production is reportedly going to a Conn-Selmer plant in China, and the company's owner, John Paulson, has been an outspoken critic of offshoring.On the line are 150 union jobs and Conn-Selmer workers, members of UAW Local 2359, are predicted to lose their positions at the end of June. According to the union, they'd planned to bargain a new contract last month when, instead, they were told the plant would close. Leaders called it “a slap in the face.”A recent report by the BBC cited union workers who claimed Conn-Selmer has had a plan in the works for a while. They said the company opened a new facility in China last year and the Ohio plant's workload gradually began to shift overseas – even though workers were allegedly told that the China plant would not have an impact on the U.S. factory's workload.#ConnSelmer, #ManufacturingNews, #Offshoring, #USManufacturing, #MadeInUSA, #FactoryClosure, #UnionJobs, #UAW, #OhioManufacturing, #BrassInstruments, #MusicIndustry, #JobLoss, #LaborNews, #SupplyChain, #ChinaManufacturing, #IndustrialNews, #AmericanJobs, #EconomicNews, #PlantClosure, #ManufacturingIndustry, #CNBC, #BBCNews

In this episode of Acta Non Verba, Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with virtuoso guitarist Angel Vivaldi to explore the intersection of artistry, authenticity, and perseverance. Angel shares insights from his recent tour with legendary guitarist Steve Morse, discusses his creative process behind concept albums like "Synapse," and reveals how he balances being 65% artist and 35% business. The conversation dives deep into topics ranging from working with difficult people and learning from enemies, to the role of AI in music, the importance of vulnerability, and why the only thing worse than living with regret is dying with it. This is a masterclass in commitment, creativity, and staying true to yourself in an industry that constantly demands compromise. Episode Highlights [2:14] Learning from Steve Morse's Humility and Reinvention - Angel describes touring with guitar legend Steve Morse and witnessing him reinvent his playing technique due to arthritis. Despite being one of the greatest guitarists alive, Morse remained humble enough to learn legato and tapping techniques from Angel, demonstrating that true mastery includes the willingness to continuously evolve. [20:59] The Muse and Discipline: Speaking Her Language - Angel shares his philosophy on creativity and the muse: "She has a lot of people to visit and she's gonna favor those who know how to speak her language. What is her language? Music." He explains why showing up consistently to practice—even without inspiration—is essential, because you're refining how you speak music so the muse can work through you. [39:44] The Synapse Album: Painting Studios and Neurotransmitters - Angel reveals the extreme creative process behind his concept album "Synapse," where each song represents a different neurotransmitter. He painted his studio a different color for each song (red for adrenaline, green for serotonin), changed scents, and even wrote at specific times of day to embody each neurochemical state—a process that nearly broke him but resulted in some of his most authentic work. [82:13] Learning from Your Enemies: Unfiltered Feedback - Angel offers a provocative perspective: "Your enemies have no stake in you liking them or them liking you. If you want unfiltered, uncensored, direct feedback on your flaws as a human being, look to your enemies." He explains how to parse criticism from adversaries to find genuine insights while filtering out projection and insecurity. Angel Vivaldi is an American virtuoso guitarist, songwriter, and producer who has been pushing the boundaries of instrumental guitar music since beginning his solo career in 2003. Self-taught from age 15, Angel has released multiple concept albums including "Universal Language," "Away With Words Parts 1 & 2," and "Synapse," each showcasing his unique blend of progressive metal, fusion, and melodic sensibility. Beyond his solo work, Angel is a multifaceted creative force—he's a cinematographer, fashion enthusiast, interior designer, and entrepreneur who founded Zenith Council, an artist services company helping musicians with branding, marketing, and creative vision. Recently, he toured as a guest guitarist with legendary Steve Morse, managing Morse's career while contributing rhythm guitar and content creation. Angel's approach to music and life embodies his belief that authenticity and vulnerability are the keys to creating art that truly resonates.

Karl Ferguson Jr. never planned to be a photographer. He picked up a camera because he was following his interest in the burgeoning Hip Hop Scene. Years later, his portraits of Black culture have appeared in Vibe, Billboard, and The Hollywood Reporter. In this conversation, Karl talks about what it really takes to build a creative life on your own terms, why he spent two decades at Verizon while quietly becoming one of the most sought-after photographers in entertainment, and what it means to be a visual historian when representation is still a fight.

I got to sit down with Alison Prestwood, an A-list bassist, singer, and bandleader whose playing has been anchoring records and stages for decades, and it felt like catching up with someone I should've known for years.We talked about her leap from Atlanta to Nashville in the early '90s, what it's like leaving steady work to chase the next chapter, and how those five-to-six-nights-a-week club years built the kind of chops and confidence that translate anywhere. Alison shares the winding path that led her into Nashville's session world (including a wild early moment overdubbing on a Ronnie Milsap master), and how hearing players like Glenn Worf and Michael Rhodes up close pushed her into that “forever climbing” mindset that great musicians live in.She also goes deep on her musical north stars: Paul McCartney, James Jamerson, Willie Weeks, Lee Sklar, and especially Carol Kaye, including an incredible story about spending a full weekend at Carol's house working on pick technique and soaking up stories and wisdom.From there, we get into the nuts and bolts: how Alison thinks about the difference between R&B feel vs. country feel, note length, subdivisions, and the “rules” you learn in Nashville, plus when to break them. She's also launching a brand-new Merle Haggard tribute band called We Are the Merle.We also talk about her time touring with Peter Frampton, how that gig came together, what it's like playing major stages (including the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame experience), and the weight and gratitude of watching a legend keep doing the work.And because Alison is also a fellow podcaster, we dig into her show “Hey, Good For You”, a funny, honest, and sharp look at life as a working bassist (and the absurd things people say to women musicians).It's part career map, part hang, part deep musicianship chat, and by the end, we basically agree this needs to be part one.Music from the Episode:Nadine (Is It You) (George Benson)Turning Waylon Down (Alison Prestwood)Austin (Blake Shelton)Beautiful Man (Alison Prestwood & Rodney Crowell)Thank you for listening.

What if the life you worked so hard to build still left you feeling empty? Host Chuck Thuss guides this conversation with Jerry Dale, whose life has spanned the heights of the music industry and the adult entertainment world behind closed doors. Jerry experienced success, access, and influence — and the quiet disconnection that followed when identity became tied to achievement. Together, they explore the internal conflict of living misaligned with your values, the wake-up calls that force you to slow down, and the moment Jerry chose a different path. This episode isn't about perfection or quick fixes. It's about honesty, reckoning, and what happens when you stop running from the truth and choose peace instead.

This is the story of five teenage girls who used rock ‘n roll to escape their lives, their names, and their futures—only to find themselves trapped in a nightmare of fame, exploitation, and identity turned inside-out. From the Sunset Strip to a jail cell in England, from David Bowie fantasies to Kim Fowley's real-life horrors, this is how the Runaways reinvented what rebellion could be—and paid the ultimate price in the process.
