Richard and Linda Thompson - I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight (1974) The Free Design - 2002 - A Hit Song (1969) Noel Murray from the AV/Club wrote: By 1969, the New York sunshine-pop act The Free Design had released two albums and a string of singles, and all the band had to show for that effort was a handful of well-received TV appearances and one minor regional hit (1967’s “Kites Are Fun”). So on album number three, Heaven/Earth, Free Design frontman Chris Dedrick briefly set aside his usual lyrics about pretty days and happy vibes, and wrote a song about his group’s predicament. One of the most talked-about movies of 1968 was 2001: A Space Odyssey, a mind-blowing vision of a nigh-inconceivable future. With “2002: A Hit Song,” Dedrick imagined something that at the time, to him, seemed even more far-fetched. Sonically, “2002” resembles nearly every other Free Design song. It’s airy and upbeat, with an arrangement that emphasizes the harmonies of Dedrick and his bandmates (who were mostly his siblings). The Free Design was like an east coast adjunct of California pop combos The Association, The 5th Dimension, and The Mamas And The Papas, but with lyrics more in line with the burgeoning “bubblegum” movement, and instrumentation the wouldn’t have sounded out of place on one of The Anita Kerr Singers’ easy-listening albums. They were simultaneously freakier and squarer than any other young band trying to make the charts at the time. That quirkiness is the best explanation for the oddity that is “2002: A Hit Song.” Beginning with a little studio trickery courtesy of engineer Phil Ramone (later the go-to producer for Billy Joel and Paul Simon), the speeded-up voices of the Dedricks sing hello to DJs and “teenyboppers,” before launching into a pitch for the song itself. The Free Design insists that “2002” is unique, fast-paced, well-promoted, and sung “with reckless abandon,” which means there’s no way it won’t be a “hit hit hit.” The band then tacks on a twist ending, admitting that all their previous songs were equally catchy, but failed anyway. PSA - Englewood Police Department - Boys Beware (1961) Ralph was sick! Ralph was a homosexual! Jimmy No!!! PSA - Batman, Robin, Batgirl, and the Federal Equal Pay Law. (1966) As things change... The Citizens - Go, Goldwater (1964) Billy May and His Orchestra - Marrakesh Express (1970) From LP #10 in the Reader's Digest 1969/70 album, "Up, Up & Away" Brady Kids - Candy (Sugar Shoppe) (1972) "Come on, Sugardrop, and give me some."

Burgess Meredith (as The Penguin) - The Escape (1966) How to Undress in Front of Your Husband (1937)  From IMDB: Elaine Jacobs was a 16-year-old high school student in New York in 1931 when she went to see the John Barrymore film Svengali (1931). From that moment, she later said, she fell in love with Barrymore and vowed that one day she would marry him, even going so far as to change her name to Elaine Barrie. A few years later she read in the newspaper that Barrymore was in a New York hospital due to an "illness" (he was actually undergoing one of his periodic "cures" for his severe alcoholism). She sent him an adoring fan letter asking for an interview, and Barrymore wrote back and granted her one. After that first interview she returned to see him every day for more "interviews", and when Barrymore was finally discharged from the hospital he moved into the Jacobs' family apartment in New York City. Barrymore's divorce from actress Dolores Costello was still not final, and Elaine was 30 years younger than Barrymore, and when the press discovered the situation, they had a field day. Barrymore took Elaine and her mother out to nightclubs, parties and theaters all over the city, with reporters and photographers in hot pursuit. The coverage of the pair was so extensive that in 1935 the Associated Press named Elaine (along with presidential candidate Alf Landon) as one of the people who made that year most interesting.Barrie and Barrymore were finally married in 1936, and it turned out to be a stormy one. She appeared in one of his films and made two shorts (one of which, How to Undress in Front of Your Husband (1937), was made by low-rent exploitation legend Dwain Esper) capitalizing on her status as Barrymore's wife. She also co-starred with him on Broadway and in several radio dramas. However, Barrymore's heavy drinking and serial infidelity resulted in several trial separations, and they finally divorced in 1940.

Not many would associate Nixon, a firm Cold Warrior who excelled at fierce anti-liberal attack ads, with a spot that scrolls from stills of young people frolicking in the sun to clips of a smiling Nixon shaking hands with constituents. All the while, a festive song hails Nixon for "reaching out to find a way to make tomorrow a brighter day, making dreams reality. More than ever - Nixon now for you and me."

Interview Date: October 7, 2019 October 6 marked the 47th anniversary of the beginning of the October 1973 War between Israel and Arab States Egypt and Syria. After over four years of a war of attrition between Israel and its Arab neighbors, and diplomatic efforts moving at an unhurried pace, President Nixon woke up on the morning of October 6, 1973 to a cable from Ken Keating, America’s Ambassador to Israel, reporting that Israel’s Prime Minister Golda Meir told him Egypt and Syria had launched a two-pronged surprise attack as Israel stood unprepared to defend itself on Yom Kippur (or Day of Atonement) the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. On this edition of the Nixon Now podcast, we explore this topic with William Quandt. He served as the Middle East hand on the National Security Councils during the Nixon and Carter administrations, and was actively involved in the negotiations that led to the Camp David Accords in 1978.

In July 1970, President Nixon delivered his special message to Congress on Indian Affairs, breaking with two centuries of unjust practices and policies against Native Americans. Nixon said: “From the time of their first contact with European settlers, the American Indians have been oppressed and brutalized, deprived of their ancestral lands and denied the opportunity to control their own destiny. Even the Federal programs which are intended to meet their needs have frequently proven to be ineffective and demeaning.” On this edition of the Nixon Now podcast we discuss the dramatic reshaping of American Indian policy with one of the foremost experts and pioneers in Indian Law. A Harvard Law graduate, Reid Peyton Chambers served as associate solicitor for Indian affairs in the Department of Interior from August 1973 to September 1976. Since 1976, for over forty years, he’s been partner of Sonosky, Chambers, Sachse, Endreson, and Perry, a law firm dedicated to representing Indian tribes and Alaskan native organizations. He’s also author of an extensive article in the Spring 2018 University of Tulsa Law Review titled “Implementing the Federal Trust Responsibility to Indians After President Nixon’s 1970 Message to Congress on Indian Affairs.” Photo: Richard Nixon with the Taos Pueblo Indian leaders on July 8, 1970, the same day he delivered his special message to Congress on Indian Affairs.

Auf diese Ausgabe von Radio Brennt! habe ich mich besonders gefreut. Denn dieses Mal hatten wir die St. Pauli-Allstar-Band Thee Pounders zu Gast. Mit Anfang 20 war ich viel auf Garage Punk Konzerten unterwegs, auf denen Thee Pounders oft die Support-Band war. Über einige Jahre waren sie ein fester Bestandteil der Hamburger Musikszene, nicht zuletzt deshalb, weil alle Mitglieder gestandene Musiker mit einer langen Bandvorgeschichte sind. So spielen u.a. ehemalige Mitglieder von Bands wie den Trashmonkeys, Nixon Now, Prollhead und The Punkles bei Thee Pounders. Sänger ist VJ Vasted, der seine Kunst u.a. für Deichkind einsetzt. Immerhin zwei Pounders, Dennis Rux, seines Zeichens auch Chef der berühmten Yeah!Yeah!Yeah! Studios und Eckhardt Marheinicke, sonst auch bei der Barage-Band The Cool tätig konnten wir ins Studio bekommen. 6 Jahre haben Thee Pounders zwischenzeitlich pausiert. Dass die legendäre St. Pauli Supergroup nun für ein vorerst einziges Konzert und eine EP wieder zusammen kommt, dafür ist der nicht minder legendäre DJ Starlight Steven verantwortlich, der die Band zu seinem runden Geburtstag wieder zusammengebracht hat und der unser dritter Gast in der Sendung ist. Somit sind gleich drei absolute Vinyl-Freaks bei Radio Brennt! an den Mikrofonen und natürlich auch an den Plattentellern, denn heute gibt es nur Garage-Perlen direkt vom Plattenteller auf die Ohren. Wir bedanken uns bei allen Bands und auch bei den Sikorski Musikverlagen für die Erlaubnis die Songs aus der Sendung für den Podcast zu verwenden! Wer mehr von den Pounders sehen und hören will, schaut auf Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thee.pounders Intro-Song: Smiling Cynic - "It's a Jazz Thing" via opsound.org Playlist: 1.

Hamburgs Nummer 1 Underground-Musiksendung gibt es jetzt auch als Podcast. Einmal im Monat stellen sich Stefan, Alex und Mischa in unterschiedlichen Kombinationen ins Studio von Hamburgs führendem Musiksender Tide 96.0 und laden (meistens) eine Band aus der haseatischen Musikszene ein, die die Mehrheit der Hörer noch nicht kennen dürfte. Das macht Radio Brennt! (benannt nach dem Ärzte-Song) zu einer Sendung für Musikentdecker. Auf das Ohr gibt es so ziemlich alles, außer elektronischer Musik. Die Moderatoren hatten schon Singer/Songwriter, Punk-, Pop-, Rock ' n Roll und sogar Funkbands zu Gast.

The subject of the most recent addition to the Nixon Now podcast is a timely one. Since the fall of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi in 1979, Iran and the United States have not had diplomatic relations.

Professor Cooper is a contributing columnist to Foreign Policy and the Guardian newspaper’s Tehran Bureau website. He is affiliated with Columbia’s Center for Global Energy Policy and is a member of the UK Energy Institute.
