Don and Dude keep celebrating Casey Kasem's legacy, spotlighting the warm spirit of Casey's Top 40. This episode visits the week of November 16, 1991, when radio united pop, rock, and R&B in a dynamic mix. Each host picks an album tied to a defining Top 10 single, featuring two records that shaped early '90s airwaves and capture the era's bold musical shift.Prince & The New Power Generation – Diamonds and Pearls (1991) Minneapolis visionary Prince shook up the game by fusing funk, new jack swing, R&B, and pop with his New Power Generation band. The album features the chart-topping hit "Cream," a sly, empowering funk groove that became Prince's last solo Number One. From the album's spiritual opening track “Thunder” to the lush balladry of “Diamonds and Pearls” and the epic closer “Live 4 Love,” Prince's thirteenth LP marks a creative rebirth and mainstream resurgence. The production mixes real-deal musicianship with slick digital edges and gospel-fired harmonies. Critics and fans alike see it as a dazzling crossroads, where Prince blended past genius with '90s modernity.Guns N' Roses – Use Your Illusion I (1991) Axl Rose, Slash, and crew upped the ante with a sprawling double-album era, but Use Your Illusion I is where their ambition truly went wild. Kicking off with the menacing “Right Next Door to Hell” and dialing up the drama with power ballad “Don't Cry,” the album explores everything from punk-riff rage to epic piano pop. “November Rain,” a nearly nine-minute symphonic epic, ranks among MTV's most iconic video moments. Meanwhile, “Coma” finishes the set with a genre-bending, ten-minute odyssey. The record's sound is both raw and over-the-top, capturing a band teetering between chaos and brilliance, a defining entry in hard rock's history.Dude is Diggin':Colter Wall – Memories and Empties (2025): Rugged, western country storytelling from a baritone master, full of 1970s honkytonk vibes.Skid Row – Slave to the Grind (1991) (vinyl): Gritty, heavy riffs and soaring metal vocals define this Billboard-topping classic.Don is Diggin':Mavis Staples – Sad and Beautiful World (2025): Soul rooted in seven decades, with powerful collaborations and timely social gospel.The Mountain Goats – Through This Fire Across from Peter Balkan (2025): Indie folk storytelling set on the high seas, with dreamlike production and striking guest artists.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds.

Bland connected with Jazz88's Sean McPherson to talk about his approach to Prince's music and his familial connection to his fellow New Power Generation bandmates.

Le 12 décembre 2015 contre toute attente, Prince sort sur la plateforme digitale Tidal, HitNRun Phase Two, soit 3 mois après la phase One qui en avait désarçonné plus d'un.À 57 ans, l'artiste est plus que jamais imprévisible, indépendant, et créatif. Ce qui distingue "Phase Two", c'est son assemblage unique de titres qui circulent déjà sur internet, tandis que d'autres morceaux sont issus de sessions d'enregistrement récentes à Paisley Park.Si pour certains HitNRun Phase 2 est supérieur à l'album précédent, plus cohérent, et ne cherchant pas à être dans l'ère du temps ; d'autres sont déçus que ce qui va devenir l'album testamentaire de l'artiste, soit une compilation de titres enregistrés sur 5 ans.Hébergé par Ausha.

KARATE OLD WAYS & NEW POWER GENERATION Steve Lowe Interview "Karate was never meant to be a sport." "The fighting came first; the kata came from that." "We should not overlook the stuff that's gone before us." In this riveting episode of the World of Martial Arts Show, host Mick Tully welcomes the remarkable Sensei Steve Lowe, a true paradox in the martial arts community. Known for his humour and warmth, Sensei Steve embodies the essence of karate while taking its deeper principles seriously. The conversation kicks off with Steve's early experiences in martial arts, ignited by a childhood filled with challenges on the rough council estates of Wigan. His journey from being bullied to discovering the power of Southern Praying Mantis kung fu under the guidance of his friend's father is both inspiring and relatable. As he transitioned into Shotokan karate, Steve shares the lessons learned from his varied experiences, including a brief stint in the nightclub security scene, which forced him to reassess his martial arts approach. Delving into the philosophy of karate, Steve passionately argues that karate was never meant to be a sport. He emphasises the importance of understanding its roots in self-protection and the necessity of power generation in practical applications. The discussion touches on the evolution of martial arts, the significance of kata, and how they can be applied in real-world scenarios, revealing the depth of knowledge that Steve has acquired over the years. Listeners will appreciate Steve's candid reflections on the current state of martial arts, where traditional practices often clash with modern interpretations. He shares insights into his dojo, Koru, which serves as a sanctuary for those seeking genuine martial arts training, free from the commercialisation that often plagues the industry. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for martial arts enthusiasts and anyone interested in the deeper meanings behind their practice. Join Mick and Sensei Steve as they explore the intricate world of martial arts, filled with laughter, insights, and a shared passion for the ancient ways of self-defence.

20 ans après avoir mené une guerre contre sa maison de disque, Prince devient un fervent détracteur des plateformes audio. Ce pionnier d'internet milite maintenant contre l'exploitation des artistes, et les gains ridicules générés par le streaming.  Si sa musique doit être disponible "online", ce sera selon ses règles, et avec un modèle économique qui doit lui convenir. En attendant, ni Spotify, ni Deezer, ni Apple music ne sont en mesure de proposer le catalogue de Prince.C'est ainsi qu'au mois de mai 2015, il va signer un contrat avec Tidal, la plateforme fondée par Jay-ZPrince promet des exclusivités, et ce sera le cas le 7 septembre 2015 avec la diffusion de son nouvel album HitNRun Phase 1Ce disque va déstabiliser bon nombre de fans. Pour la première fois de manière aussi caractéristique, Prince va impliquer un tiers dans la production. C'est Joshua Welton, dont nous avons déjà parlé dans les épisodes sur PlectrumElectrum et Art Official Age, qui va avoir les coudées franches pour inscrire HitNRun dans son époque. Si l'album est inaudible et immédiatement oublié pour certains, d'autres vont y voir un Prince totalement en phase avec son temps, capable de sortir à 57 ans, un disque qui talonne la jeune génération.Hébergé par Ausha.

Seth and Marc celebrate episode 200 in the midst of Princetober with the very troublesome Work That Fat. This isn't a single and, in some ways, it's barely a song. A voice-altered Prince makes a bunch of middle school jokes at a fat woman's expense while also saying how much he loves fat women. Yikes.

It is an honor and privilege to welcome singer-songwriter and performer Liv Warfield to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.  A former track star and gymnast, Peoria, Illinois-born Liv Warfield began building her legend in Portland, Oregon. Despite having no formal background in singing, she gained the respect of local superstars and became an icon in her own right. While she takes cues from musical influences like Nina Simone, Etta James, Mavis Staples, Sade, Tina Turner, and Mary J. Blige, Warfield has carved out a style all her own, which can best be described as “alternative soul with a lil bit of Rock ‘n' Roll.” In 2006, she self-released her debut album, Embrace Me. By 2009, she caught the eye of the one-and-only Prince and ultimately joined his group, the “New Power Generation.”  After touring for several years and soaking up as much knowledge as she could from the ultimate music mentor, Warfield made her big splash on the national scene in 2014, first as a featured artist for VH1's “You Oughta Know” campaign and then with the release of her major label debut album “The Unexpected,” which was executive produced by Prince. What followed were show-stopping performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with David Letterman, and The Arsenio Hall Show; a 2014 Soul Train Music Award and nominations for two others; a BET Best New Artist Award nomination; an interview with National Public Radio; and high-profile cosigns from Lionel Richie, Cyndi Lauper, and Nancy Wilson of HEART. That same year, Warfield's performance closing out Essence Fest was hailed as one of the most memorable after-shows at the New Orleans House of Blues. In 2015, the accolades grew, with Warfield and the NPG Hornz being named one of the top 10 bands to see at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. It's no wonder she has left celebrities like Letterman declaring it's time to “cancel show business!”   In 2017, Warfield began the next phase of her ascension, collaborating with another of her childhood influences, the aforementioned Nancy Wilson, to create the band Roadcase Royale. Their lead single, “Get Loud,” was featured prominently in the 2017 Women's March, and they released their debut album, First Things First, later that year. If that weren't enough, their remake of HEART's “These Dreams” was featured in Molly's Game, which starred Idris Elba, Jessica Chastain, and Kevin Costner. Warfield recently recorded music for the Oscar-nominated HBO documentary Da Bronx. She also tipped her hat into the theater realm to rave reviews playing Madame ZinZanni in the Chicago version of Teatro ZinZanni.  This past summer, Liv Warfield auditioned for the NBC talent competition America's Got Talent: Season 19. Liv and her band performed an original song: “Stare,” that received a standing ovation from not only judges Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara, and Simon Cowell but also a Golden Buzzer from the Got Talent creator.  During the AGT: Season 19 Quarterfinals, Liv and the band blew the audience away by performing “The Unexpected,” a song Prince wrote for her.  In this edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Liv Warfield spoke about the lessons she learned from Prince, her time on AGT, and performing in Teatro ZinZanni.

Le 26 septembre 2014, dans un geste artistique audacieux, Prince offre au monde non pas un, mais deux albums. Tandis que PlectrumElectrum met en avant les 3rd Eye Girl, Art Official Age le voit seul maître à bord. Œuvre introspective et visionnaire, Art Official Age arrive dans les bacs sans le soutien d'un single fort ou d'une tournée, passant presque inaperçu. Pour enfoncer le clou, le nouveau look de l'artiste va créer le trouble même chez les plus fidèles. Pourtant après son décès le 21 avril 2016, cet album va connaitre une nouvelle lecture. Considéré par des millions de fans à travers le monde comme prémonitoire, il résonne désormais comme un testament, éclairant les profondeurs de l'âme de Prince.Contact : www.schkopi.comFacebook : Violet - Le Podcast  Aidez nous, en soutenant gratuitement ce podcast !Comment ?

In einer Welt vor dieser Zeit würde es unseren heutigen Gast zwar geben, aber vielleicht hätten wir Sveamaus als Fotografin eingeladen. Oder, weil ihre spektakulären Installationen für Aufsehen sorgten. Wer weiß. Aber seit geraumer Zeit gibt es ja nun dieses Internet und das hat, es lässt sich nicht leugnen, vieles auf der Welt verändert. Jobs verschwanden, neue Jobs entstanden. Neben Influencern für quasi alles, gibt es eine ganze Reihe von Leuten, bei denen nicht ganz klar ist, wie man beschreiben soll, was sie da tun. Sie sind klug, humorvoll und begeistern mit ihren pointierten Kurztexten Hunderttausende von Followerinnen und Followern. So eben zum Beispiel bei Sveamaus, die 1993 als Svea Mausolf in Frankfurt an der Oder zur Welt kam und später an der Essener Folkwang Universität der Künste Fotografie studierte. Sie ist die Queen der Memes. Wer aktiv durch die Sozialen Medien huscht, kennt sie. Und wer das nicht tut, lernt sie jetzt kennen.

From the merciless funk Ghost-Note and Prince & The New Power Generation all the way to the Mitteleuropean cool of Franz Koglmann, here for you is a playlist of music that is as eclectic as it is compelling.

Today's guest makes me feel like royalty. It's drummer Michael Bland and he has worked with some of the best in the business. But before that, he played in school and found out he had perfect pitch! Finding that out helped solidify his decision to be a musician. But his parents weren't exactly thrilled about the idea and pushed him to have a backup plan. That is, until Prince called the house looking for Michael. This started a trend of Michael being offered jobs on stage in the middle of jams. Michael was the drummer for The New Power Generation during a time where Prince was reinventing himself. But Prince isn't the only high profile artist Michael has worked with. There's Paul Westerberg, Chaka Khan, Maxwell, Nick Jonas, & Soul Asylum.  Michael relays some behind-the-scenes stories about Prince, Paisley Park, and The Paisley Park Power Trio, among other things. And that ties in to a new project he's working on with long-time collaborator, Sonny Thompson called (Br)others. They have a single coming out and are playing a show with a lot of The New Power Generation. Check Michael out @michaelblandofficial & @brothersmusic2024 on Instagram. Check out Brothers Forlife on Facebook. And look for Soul Asylum on tour this summer with Our Lady Peace, Live, & Stone Temple Pilots. Look for us @PerformanceAnx on socials.

The early bird sale was released for Celebration 2024 at Prince's Paisley Park and the date and talent was also announced which include The Revolution, New Power Generation, and Morris Day with special guests. We talk about the pricing, the acts playing, and all that we know so far.

We sit down with two music legends Sonny Thompson and Michael Bland. Both of them have shared the stage with Prince's New Power Generation, but they have plenty of stories of their own becoming legends in their own right. We talk about musical history in Minneapolis before Prince became a household name, Michael's work with Soul Asylum, dispelling vault myths, and so much more.

This week we will be discussing the great Diamonds and Pearls deluxe edition set by Prince. We will be talking about the addition of Prince's new band the New Power Generation with a focus on Rosie Gaines during this period. We will be discussing the songs from the original LP as well as some great previously unreleased songs. If you're a Prince fan, you're going to want to hear this.  

Planet LP host Ted Asregadoo and Popdose writer Keith Creighton are inching closer to the end of the year with the November New Music Report. This episode is jam-packed with some stellar music recommendations just in time for the holidays. Segment One: The Big Album It's Prince! Known at various times as The Purple One, Christopher, His Royal Badness, The Artist, or Jamie Starr, Prince was at the top of his game between 1980 and 1987 with an impressive music output that few in the music world could match. Why? Because of The Vault. A prolific writer, Prince vaulted roughly 8,000 songs.  In 1991, after a series of lackluster albums, Prince released “Diamonds and Pearls” with his new backing band, the New Power Generation. The result was his fifth (and final) #1 hit in the US with “Cream,” a #3 hit with the title track, and two top 20 hits with “Gett Off” and Money Don't Matter 2 Night.” Overall, “Diamonds and Pearls” was an absolute commercial success for Prince.   On October 27, 2023, Sony released a super deluxe version with three CDs of vaulted tracks, a double live album, a remaster of the original record, and a disc with singles and different mixes. That's a lot of music, and Ted and Keith break it all down into digestible bits to highlight what's brilliant about the super deluxe edition, what's good, and what misses the mark.   Segment Two: New Music Releases The Transcanada Highwaymen's “Explosive Hits Vol #1 is mostly a carefully curated album of cover songs popular in the 1970s. These are Mellow and Radio Gold songs sung by a supergroup consisting of Moe Berry from The Pursuit of Happiness, Chris Murphy from Sloan, Craig Morthey from Odds, and Steven Page formerly of the Barenaked Ladies, but has gone on to a fantastic solo career. Featured songs include their cover of Andy Kim's “Rock Me Gently, and “Which Way You Goin' Billy” by The Poppy Family. Samples of both songs are embedded in this episode.  Lol Tolhurst (former drummer from The Cure), Budgie (from Siouxsie & The Banshees), and producer Jackknife Lee have created a cinematic mindscrew of an album entitled “Los Angles.”  Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark are back with what will likely be the final album of their career, and boy what a way to go out! Nowhere on the record are songs that sound like their biggest US hit, “If You Leave.” Rather, as Keith says, this is a soundtrack for the end of the world. Ted compares “Bauhaus Staircase” to Tears for Fears' “The Tipping Point” for its strength, its familiarity at times, and the satisfying way it's all put together. Duran Duran is back with Dance Macabre, a Halloween-theme mashup of covers, updated obscure deep cuts, and some originals. Also, guitarist Andy Taylor returns to the group, and so does the drummer of 17 years with the band, Warren Cuccrullo.  If you want to go on a journey with a musician who is a bit of an acquired taste, give Christian Kjellvander a try. “Hold Your Love Still” may not be for everyone, but once you become familiar with Kjellvander's voice, you'll find this record mesmerizing — as you will hear. Nat Jay's latest EP, “Turns Out It's Not The End” is one of Keith's favorites this year. Comparing her to an outlier star to Taylor Swift's galaxy-consuming supernova, Jay's song “Something More” could have been included in the new Hunger Games soundtrack — and you'll be able to hear why. Shplang! has been on the music scene for almost three decades, and is part of the International Pop Overthrow scene. Their latest song, “Understood” is featured in this episode.  Segment Three: Stream It Before You Buy It Quick hit recommendations. "Pretty Vicious" by The Struts “Telephone Line” by Juliana Hatfield “New Blue Sun” by Andre 3000 “Revisions of Truth” by One Square Mile “Chronicles of a Diamond” by Black Pumas “Can't Find The Brakes” by Dirty Honey “Purple Rain” by Dolly Parton “Harridan” (Live) by Porcupine Tree
