It's a big milestone this week. We've hit show 800, and I've decided to do something a bit different. No themes, no guest takeovers, just a selection of music that means the world to me. These are the tracks that move me, the ones I find important, and the ones that remind me why I started this show in the first place. We're kicking off with the absolute masters of the pocket, The Meters, and keeping that heavy groove alive with Blues is Truth, Karena K, and Paul Michael. This episode feels personal because it is—we're traveling from the delta grit of Leadbelly to the singular genius of Tom Waits, through to the West London soul of Robert Hokum and the Guv'nors and The Geoff Garbow Band. I've made sure the heavyweights are present too. You'll hear Freddie King, BB King, and Buddy Guy showing us how it's done, alongside the pure fire of Derek and the Dominos and Nick Curran. There is space for the deep, soulful moments from Percy Sledge and the early magic of Fleetwood Mac, while Rob Millis, Yuri Apsy, and Bruce Mississippi Johnson keep the story moving forward. We're also checking in with The Steady Rollin' Revue, the funk-infused mastery of John Cleary, and the legendary Sly and the Family Stone. It's a real journey through the sounds that have shaped my ears over the years. It's show 800. It's special. And more than anything, it's the truth.

The new episode of Blues is the Truth is up now. Ian McHugh is back at the helm and, as always, the show is supported by the Tuesday night Blues Jam at the Rising Sun in Isleworth. It is one of those weeks where the playlist just seemed to fall into place. You start with a couple of tracks and before long the whole thing takes on a life of its own. There is some proper heavyweight blues in the mix too. Stevie Ray Vaughan turns up in fine form, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers take things right back to the British blues boom, and there is early Fleetwood Mac reminding everyone just how good they were when the blues was front and centre. This week's show also includes a couple of respectful nods to people who meant a great deal to the music. There is a tribute to Mike Vernon, whose work helped shape the British blues scene, and another to John Hammond, a true keeper of the tradition who left an enormous mark on the blues world. You will also hear the great Freddie King, Albert Collins, Junior Wells and Otis Rush. That alone would make for a decent show, but there is plenty more going on. Selwyn Birchwood brings a modern edge, Duke Robillard is on terrific form as always, and John Hammond appears twice with a couple of tracks that are well worth the space. Elsewhere there is music from Nick Curran, Jordan Officer and Laura Chavez, plus a welcome appearance from Connie Lush. Terry Marshall and Friends keep things moving nicely, the Paul Michael Band are in there again, and you will also hear Mike Vernon and the Mighty Combo, Doc Stenson and the Amazing Hot Shots, Richard Carr, Boogie Beasts, Jerry Portnoy and the Streamliners, and Studebaker John. It is a cracking mix this week. Old school blues, newer sounds, a few surprises along the way. Give it a spin and see what you think.

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 107 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by film critic Brandon Streussnig discuss the latest film in their Paul Verhoeven series, Basic Instinct (1992). We enter a new chapter in the Verhoeven series, as the guys talk about one of the most iconic erotic-thrillers of all time with the most iconic image of the genre. But beyond that one scene lies an ode to Hitchcock, as we follow a sleazy detective down a rabbit hole of deception, sex, and murder as he investigates the death of a wealthy rock star, and the prime suspect is his old girlfriend, a writer whom wrote about his death in her latest book. Purposive, wild, and slightly progressive and regressive at the same time, Basic Instinct is the crown jewel of a type of film that audiences used to obsess over, perfectly made by a director at the height of his powers, featuring an all-time performance from Sharon Stone. Ryan, Jay, and Brandon breakdown their thoughts on the film, the history of the erotic thriller, the controversy over the iconic scene, how sex is weaponized throughout, the introduction to Joe Eszterhas as a writer to the world, the laughable sequel made several years later, ice picks, and just how good of a cop is Michael Douglas' Nick Curran. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 1h56m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Paul Verhoeven with a review of his film, Showgirls. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental or stream on HBO Max in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it. Music: MUSICALIFE, from Pond5 (intro) and “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

En 2012 sufrimos la -posiblemente- mayor pérdida que ha golpeado el rock’n’roll del siglo 21. Nick Curran falleció con solo 35 años, dejando una trayectoria a sus espaldas que ya lo había encumbrado como uno de los más valiosos, carismáticos y talentosos artistas de su tiempo. Se reeditan ahora, por primera vez en vinilo y de la mano del sello Sleazy Records, su tercer y cuarto álbumes. “Doctor Velvet” (2003) y “Player” (2004) fueron sus dos discos para el sello de blues Blind Pig Records, álbumes que giraban en torno al blues o el rhythm n’ blues, en donde el joven artista de Maine mostraba un bagaje y unas formas excepcionales, además de una visión que ya comenzaba a enfocar más allá de los límites del género, como demuestran sus versiones de The Sonics, Hank Williams o The Stooges.Playlist;(sintonía) NICK CURRAN and THE NITELIFES “Stompin’ at the fort” (Doctor Velvet)NICK CURRAN and THE NITELIFES “Doctor Velvet” (Doctor Velvet)NICK CURRAN and THE NITELIFES “Drivin’ me crazy” (Doctor Velvet)NICK CURRAN and THE NITELIFES “Lonesome whistle blues” (Doctor Velvet)NICK CURRAN and THE NITELIFES “Shot down” (Doctor Velvet)NICK CURRAN and THE NITELIFES “Don’t be angry” (Doctor Velvet)NICK CURRAN and THE NITELIFES “Cold cold heart” (Doctor Velvet)Versión y Original; HANK WILLIAMS “Cold cold heart” (1951)NICK CURRAN and THE NITELIFES “Beautiful girl” (Doctor Velvet)NICK CURRAN and THE NITELIFES “The Groovy Jam” (Player)NICK CURRAN and THE NITELIFES “Player” (Player)NICK CURRAN and THE NITELIFES “Heeby Jeebies” (Player)NICK CURRAN and THE NITELIFES “What about love” (Player)NICK CURRAN and THE NITELIFES “No fun” (Player)NICK CURRAN and THE NITELIFES “Leavin’” (Player)NICK CURRAN and THE NITELIFES “Come back” (Player)Escuchar audio

When "Basic Instinct" first graced cinema screens in 1992, it didn't just arrive; it detonated with the force of a cultural and cinematic bombshell. Directed by Paul Verhoeven and penned by Joe Eszterhas, this neo-noir thriller became a topic of fervent discussion, controversy, and analysis. Damo's pick for the podcast, undoubtedly, underscores not just the film's enduring impact but also its provocative standing in the annals of movie history. So, let's dive into the icy waters of "Basic Instinct" and explore what makes it such a compelling, if contentious, masterpiece.The Plot: A Labyrinth of Desire and DeceptionAt its core, "Basic Instinct" is a detective story, but labelling it as such feels reductive. The narrative follows San Francisco police detective Nick Curran (played by Michael Douglas), who investigates the brutal murder of a rock star. The prime suspect? Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone), a brilliant, enigmatic novelist whose fictional murders eerily resemble real-life killings. What unfolds is a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, but who's the cat and who's the mouse shifts with the narrative's serpentine twists and turns.Cinematography: Crafting the Neo-Noir AestheticVerhoeven's direction and Jan de Bont's cinematography paint "Basic Instinct" in the stark contrasts and shadows of classic film noir, yet with a distinctly modern flair that's both sleek and raw. The film's visual style is not just a backdrop but a character in its own right. It amplifies the story's erotic tension and the psychological depth of its characters, using the moody landscapes of San Francisco and a chilling score by Jerry Goldsmith to deepen the atmosphere of suspense.The Controversy: Pushing Boundaries or Crossing Lines?No discussion of "Basic Instinct" can skirt around the controversy it ignited upon release. Its graphic violence and explicit sexuality, particularly the infamous interrogation scene, sparked debates on misogyny, homophobia, and the exploitation of women in cinema. The film was both condemned and celebrated for its unapologetic content, becoming a lightning rod for discussions about censorship, artistic freedom, and the portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters in media. Despite the polarized reactions, it's this very controversy that cemented the film's place in pop culture and academic discourse.Character Development: An Intricate DanceThe chess match between Nick and Catherine is underpinned by their complex psychological profiles. Douglas' portrayal of Curran—a cop with a troubled past and a penchant for self-destruction—offers a fascinating glimpse into a man ensnared by his own desires and demons. Sharon Stone's Catherine Tramell, meanwhile, is an iconic figure of the femme fatale archetype, redefined. Stone delivers a career-defining performance, imbuing Catherine with an icy intelligence, seductive charm, and an enigmatic aura that challenges both Nick and the audience's perceptions at every turn.The Screenplay: A Double-Edged SwordEszterhas' screenplay is a masterclass in building suspense and developing intriguing characters, though it's not without its flaws. The dialogue sometimes veers into the melodramatic, and certain plot elements haven't aged well, reflecting the era's less enlightened attitudes. Yet, it's these imperfections that make "Basic Instinct" such a rich subject for analysis. The film's narrative bravado, combined with its thematic ambitions, provides fertile ground for discussions about power dynamics, obsession, and identity.Cultural Significance: A Mirror and a Maeldrome"Basic Instinct" arrived at a crossroads in American cinema and society, reflecting the burgeoning discourse on sexuality, violence, and censorship. It challenged audiences and filmmakers alike to confront their boundaries and biases. The movie's impact extended beyond the silver screen, influencing fashion, music, and literature, and sparking a wave of erotic thrillers that sought to emulate its success. Over three decades later, it remains a reference point for discussions about gender roles, media representation, and the intersection of sex and violence in storytelling.Damo's selection of "Basic Instinct" for the podcast is a testament to its multifaceted legacy. It's a film that can be celebrated for its craft, debated for its content, and analyzed for its cultural impact. Beyond the controversy and the steamy scenes lies a meticulously crafted narrative, compelling character studies, and a commentary on the human psyche's darker recesses.In revisiting "Basic Instinct," we're not just watching a movie; we're engaging with a piece of history that continues to provoke, unsettle, and fascinate. It's a testament to the power of cinema to challenge societal norms, to reflect our deepest fears and desires, and to leave us pondering long after the credits roll. For its boldness, its artistry, and its undiminished capacity to generate discussion, "Basic Instinct" remains a pivotal piece of cinematic art. And, perhaps, that was its intention all along – not just to entertain, but to incite, to provoke thought, and to remain indelibly etched in our collective consciousness.

“If you're out helping others get to their dreams, that will come back to you,” says Nick Curran, Founder, and CEO of Numbers4Nonprofits. When a former boss called Nick for guidance with a non-profit's financials, Nick was happy to assist. Due to word of mouth, Nick's work quickly snowballed, leading him to launch Numbers4Nonprofits, an accounting firm that helps non-profits manage their money. Nick was not an expert in the non-profit finance world, but he was excited to try. Knowing that he could always fall back on traditional accounting, Nick did not fear failure as he built his successful business. Although difficult days are inevitable and management solutions may be needed, Nick reminds entrepreneurs that throughout the good and the bad, you have to show up for your team and dream no matter what. Tune into this week's episode of Move Forward Anway for a conversation on effective leadership. Learn more about how Nick started Numbers4Nonprofits, the challenges of running a business, and why you must keep moving forward every day. Quotes • “We help nonprofits with all things numbers.
