Als Elissa Hiersemann Lael Neale 2021 für ihre radioeins-Sendung "Swagga" interviewte, traf sie auf einen bekennenden "Morgenmenschen", der dem aktuellen Albumtitel "Acquainted With Night" gemäß gerade Bekanntschaft mit der Nacht gemacht beziehungsweise diese musikalisch verarbeitet hatte – und das auf äußerst einnehmende Weise. Auch kamen der Künstlerin Liebe zur Naturprosa von Dichtern wie Rainer Maria Rilke oder Rumi sowie die besondere Bedeutung des Omnichords für die Musik der aus dem ländlichen Virginia stammenden Neale zur Sprache. Jenes in der Pop-Welt eher seltene elektronische Instrument ist auch auf "Altogether Stranger" zu hören, dem vor wenigen Tagen veröffentlichten neuen, vierten Album unseres heutigen studioeins-Gastes. Dieses wurde inspiriert vom Gefühl der Fremdheit, das Lael beschlich, als sie in ihre Wahlheimat Los Angeles zurückkehrte, die sie 2020 zu Beginn der Corona-Pandemie verlassen hatte. In neun unaufgeregten, aber alles andere als belanglosen Songs mit einfallsreichen, klugen Texten erzählt sie aus der Außenseiter-Perspektive eines "Alien" von der Sonderbarkeit des menschlichen Alltagsdaseins. Für die musikalische Umsetzung zwischen Garagen-Pop, "Omnichord-Meditationen" und minimalistischen New Wave-Sounds, bei der pluckernde und zischelnde antiquierte Drum-Machines im Wechsel mit Schellenkränzen den Takt vorgeben, setzt Neale ganz auf eine Lo-Fi-Ästhetik, in die sich das Grundrauschen der Natur immer mal wieder durch alte Gitarrenverstärker hineinzuschleichen scheint und die den idealen Rahmen für ihre zugleich zurückhaltend zarte wie ausdrucksstarke Stimme und wirkungsvollen, gerne verspielten Gesangsmelodien bildet. Am 21. Mai gibt Lael Neale in der Kantine am Berghain ein Konzert, einen kleinen Vorgeschmack bekommen wir bereits heute Abend im studioeins, wo sie einige Songs auf der kleinen Bühne live spielen wird, nachdem sie sich im Interview vorgestellt hat.

Lael Neale's fourth album Altogether Stranger released on May 2nd, and oh boy is it a beautiful body of work. Elle spoke to Neale about the production of the album with her partner Guy Blakeslee at their home studio, the process that goes into writing her lyrics and her love of the omnichord. Highly likely that this is Elle's album of the year.

Arthur Coldwells had the chance to ride the all new Harley Softail Cruisers recently, and he has to say, he quite liked them! The six models can be separated into three distinct genres, Classic, Statement, and Sport, and although he definitely erred towards his favorite category, he can still see the appeal of the others. Harley made some big changes including adding the new 117 ci motor, and he chats with Editor Don Williams about what he discovered and how they all rode.   The Motos and Friends Podcast is brought to you by Arai helmets. The founder of Arai Helmets was the man who created the first motorcycle helmet in Japan to protect his own head, and as a result, launched the Japanese motorcycle helmet industry. Arai focuses on glancing off performance, accumulating small differences decade after decade, to further rider protection. The Arai Difference: If your experience has been that “Arai helmets are hard to get on,” then the Contour-X, designed with a wider bottom opening than previous models for easier on/off, is the helmet you've been waiting for. Once inside, you will be amazed at the extreme comfort, a key benefit of the Contour-X for long-distance touring, and if you're into ADV or dual-sport riding, then you'll want to check out the new Arai XD-5. So try on an Arai at your local dealer. You will be instantly amazed at the fit and all-day comfort of any Arai helmet. You should also check out AraiAmericas.com to learn more. In our second segment this week, Neale Bayly chats with author Sam Manicom. Sam's amazing story-telling recounts his adventures that really began with his travels in Africa. The adventures he recounts in this episode make for some fun listening, and his final message at the end will certainly inspire all of us ...and perhaps, a few may even take his advice! Here's a quick reminder to leave us your comments on our social media—we're on all the usual platforms at Ultimate Motorcycling. We love hearing your feedback… so good or bad, please let us know what you think. If there's something you'd like us to cover, we'd love to hear those ideas too!   @ultimatemotorcycling  @UltimateMotoMag  @UltimateMotorcycling  producer@ultimatemotorcycling.com

This week, longtime friend of the pod, Neale Barnholden (he/him), joins Marcelle and Hannah to discuss the materiality of comic books and their influence on modern-day meme culture! They talk reading conventions, colonization, de- and re-contextualization, as well as the raced and classed history of comics. Together, they then dive into Paul Davis's idea of "the culture text" (adaptations, parodies, references of the text created by culture at large). They consider how Richie Rich came to reference Donald Trump in 2016, how comic artist KC Green's dog in a burning house (the "This is Fine" meme) became ubiquitous, and how we might make sense of our current visual culture in relation to the "lurid" history of comic books. There's a lot to unpack in this episode and if you have thoughts, questions or comments, submit them over Instagram for our next Material Concerns episode! Follow on Neale on Instagram @ominousgarfield. Buy his book, From Gum Wrappers to Richie Rich: The Materiality of Cheap Comics, at your local bookstore! You can also see more Neale on our Patreon!Learn more about Material Girls on our Instagram at instagram.com/ohwitchplease! Or check out our website ohwitchplease.ca. We'll be back in two weeks with a Material Concerns episode, but until then, go check out all the other content we have on our Patreon at Patreon.com/ohwitchplease! Patreon is how we produce the show and pay our team! Thanks again to all of you who have already made the leap to join us there!***Material Girls is a show that aims to make sense of the zeitgeist through materialist critique* and critical theory! Each episode looks at a unique object of study (something popular now or from back in the day) and over the course of three distinct segments, Hannah and Marcelle apply their academic expertise to the topic at hand.*Materialist Critique is, at its simplest possible level, a form of cultural critique – that is, scholarly engagement with a cultural text of some kind – that is interested in modes of production, moments of reception, and the historical and ideological contexts for both. Materialist critique is really interested in the question of why a particular cultural work or practice emerged at a particular moment. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this Episode, we are delving into a profound conversation with Neale Donald Walsch, the spiritual teacher and author of 41 books, including the world-renowned Conversations with God. In this insightful discussion, Neale shares his personal journey of overcoming life's challenges and how these experiences led him to the powerful conversations with God that have transformed millions of lives worldwide. From the lessons learned through adversity to his current perspective on relationships, spirituality, and free will, Neale offers wisdom that can help you navigate life's chaos with clarity and purpose.  What You'll Discover In This Episode  The Power of Adversity (4:47): Neale reflects on the transformative lessons he learned from the challenges he faced in the 1990s, including a devastating house fire, a broken neck, and a series of personal setbacks. These events, he shares, acted as catalysts for his spiritual awakening and set him on a path to deeper understanding.  The Role of Consciousness in Our Lives (7:11): Neale explains how spiritual growth is often birthed through chaos and challenges. He discusses how the awareness of our own consciousness can lead us to see that every change, even when difficult, serves a higher purpose.  The Importance of Free Will (19:08): Neale talks about the significance of free will in shaping our lives. He stresses that our choices define our path and that embracing personal responsibility is key to spiritual evolution.  Twin Flames and Relationships (12:02): Neale shares his personal experience of meeting his twin flame and the deep connection that transcends time and space. He discusses how relationships evolve over time and how understanding this dynamic can bring deeper clarity in love and connection.  Humor and Spirituality (23:48): Through lighthearted moments, Neale emphasizes the importance of humor as a tool for healing and connection. He reveals how his humorous dialogues with God have shaped his perspective on life.  Transformational Takeaway:  "Life is not a school; it's a place to remember who you truly are."  Neale's profound insight into our spiritual journey is that we are not here to "learn" in the traditional sense but to remember our divine essence and reconnect with the higher truth of who we are. By embracing this perspective, we can let go of limitations and align with our true power, living a life of authenticity, peace, and purpose. Reflect on what it means to remember who you are today. Take a moment to pause, breathe, and ask yourself: What parts of yourself have you forgotten? What would it look like for you to reconnect with your true self?  Resources Mentioned:  GodTalk  Conversations with God  Connect deeper with Neale's teachings at CWGConnect.com.  Disclosure: Some of the links above are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission if you make a purchase.  Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn   LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.
