Send us a textCurtis and Aaron Vaughn came up with the idea for this podcast. The concept for this podcast is to give information and opinions about ten songs each month that may fly under the radar for most listeners of music. Also, we will play a snippet of each song and ask the listener to comment to us through one of our social media outlets so we can get different opinions on what you think about these songs and what they mean to you. The opinions of the music selected are only the opinions of Aaron and Curtis and may not reflect what the artist had in mind. They believe that is the beauty of music. It can mean so many different things to so many different people.  In short, Curtis came up with this quote to describe the show: “Sharing the joy of music in hopes of bringing back old memories or helping listeners discover unfamiliar artists, bands, or songs that they might want to look further into. At the same time, helping out Veterans and their families with donations along the way."Songs for this month are:1. White Sparrows - Billy Talent2. Pepper - Butthole Surfers3. She Don't Use Jelly - The Flaming Lips4. Promise - Matchbook Romance5. Watch the Children Pray - Metal Church6. Grey Cell Green - Ned's Atomic Dustbin7.  Patches - Clarence Carter8.

In two weeks, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as president in Washington. There is a new order in America but where does it leave those close to the old establishment? Many are scurrying to be onside. Meta are abandoning fact-checking, Jeff Bezos is censoring cartoonists at the Washington Post and Elon Musk might be outstaying his welcome at Mar-a-Lago. “In America, the land of the free, we saw in the past election that freedom is universally valued but not universally defined,” Bono said as he received the medal of freedom from Joe Biden.What does this even mean? On Free State, Joe and Dion look at how the world is changing and how Bono will change with it. Few serious people would claim that freedom was universally valued by everyone at the last presidential election but does this tell us something about how Bono has operated in the US and around the world? In Ireland, in Derry, there are families of those who lost loved ones in Bloody Sunday who are angry with Bono for U2's song and who were angry again when he received the medal of freedom. But does it just prove that when it came to ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday', Alan Partridge was right?Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.For more on Free State: https://freestatepodcast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

On this episode of One Song, Diallo and LUXXURY break down The Pharcyde's “Runnin',” the track from the legendary hip-hop group that brought new flavor to the West Coast sound in the ‘90s. They dive into the group's introspective lyrics about vulnerability and personal struggle, how they met and collaborated with soon-to-be legendary producer J Dilla (at the time known as Jay Dee), and how Dilla's genre-reinventing beatmaking style – blending old school hip-hop and bossa nova samples – helped The Pharcyde popularize the alternative hip-hop movement.

One Song Nation – won't you smile for another episode? Because we know you're gonna love it! On this episode of One Song, actor, comedian and musician Jon Benjamin (Archer, Bob's Burgers) joins Diallo and LUXXURY to break down one of Steely Dan's most beloved, jazz-infused songs from 1977, “Peg.” They discuss the lengths the band's core duo – Walter Becker and Donald Fagen – went to achieve their vision for this song and its album 'Aja' (it took 40 musicians!), and why it may be “one of the strangest hits to ever grace the mainstream.” (Pitchfork's words, not ours.)

As Spooky Season falls across the land, no mere mortal can resist the power of this 1983 smash hit. On this very special Halloween episode of One Song, Diallo and LUXXURY break down Michael Jackson's spookiest pop song, “Thriller.” They discuss how the King of Pop teamed up with Quincy Jones to make the iconic title track for the best-selling album of all time (70 million+ copies!), and how its cinematic music video redefined what a music video can even be. And prepare yourself to hear Michael's isolated and stacked vocals…they'll make you jump right out of your seat!

Get ready to share the spice of life and glide like a 747 to a classic cookout jam from one of the best selling bands of all time! On this episode of One Song, Grammy Award-winning pop star, rapper, and actress Estelle joins Diallo and LUXXURY to talk about Earth, Wind & Fire's 1981 hit “Let's Groove.” They break down band leader Maurice White and his bandmates' recipe for creating certified gold songs and albums that blend funk, soul, disco, jazz, and beyond; and how their music spreads messages of Afrocentricity, universal love, harmony, and spiritualism.

If there's anything you want done, baby, just turn to a legendary artist who knows how to do it naturally. On this episode of One Song, award-winning journalist, author, and podcaster Danyel Smith (Shine Bright: A Very Personal History of Black Women in Pop) joins Diallo and LUXXURY to break down Chaka Khan's “I'm Every Woman,” the 1978 disco crossover hit that launched her incredibly successful solo career. They discuss Chaka's powerful, dynamic vocal range (just wait until you hear the isolated stems!), how the song became an anthem for female empowerment (among many other things), and Chaka's professional and personal connections with Whitney Houston, who famously covered the song 15 years later for The Bodyguard soundtrack.

This week on One Song, we're sharing another podcast that LUXXURY and Diallo both love: Petty Crimes. It's a weekly comedy podcast where co-hosts and long-time friends Ceara Jane O'Sullivan and Griff Stark-Ennis add a playful twist to the world of true crime. In each episode, the hosts passionately investigate minor interpersonal disputes and deliver a hilarious yet analytical verdict.

Today, we're sitting down with musician and songwriter Jake Scott to discuss his rise in the music industry and how he managed to stand out among new artists with a unique strategy: releasing one song per month for over three years.Jake's journey in the LA music scene is distinctive in other ways as well. Born and raised in Arkansas, a place not typically associated with pop artists, Jake's unconventional background, including writing music for other artists, has shaped his unique songwriting style, proficiency, and sound.

If there's not a soul out there, or someone to hear your prayer, just turn to one of the most popular and successful musical groups of all time – ABBA. On this episode of One Song, actor and comedian John Early (Now More Than Ever; The Afterparty) joins Diallo & LUXXURY to break down the Swedish disco supergroup's hit “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)." They discuss how the members of ABBA managed to craft the song in the middle of a divorce, how their meticulous production process makes their songs so catchy, and why the Swedes are so incredible at songwriting.

The one-long-song album is a rare event in the metal genre, and a tough assignment to tackle and get right. We hold up these five albums as the finest examples of the approach. While it's difficult to convey their scope in snippet form, we tried our best and had a lot of fun doing so. (Incidentally, this also happens to be one of our longest-ever episodes!)

One, two, three, and to the fo' -- Diallo & LUXXURY is at yo' do'...ready for another One Song episode! And on this episode, they break down Dr. Dre's hit that introduced the world to g-funk, tell the story of how Dre recruited Snoop to be a featured artist, and discuss why "'G' Thang" has become one of the most influential hip-hop tracks of all time.

Hipsters Unite? This week on One Song, Diallo Riddle and Luxxury are tackling a confrontational track from one of the most successful alt rock bands of the 90's — “Cherub Rock” by The Smashing Pumpkins. The guys go deep on the early 90's indie rock scene, band frontman Billy Corgan's quest for musical family, and the Pumpkins' complicated relationship with the indie rock community.

As the hosts of One Song, Diallo Riddle and Luxxury know a thing or two about being a duo. This week, One Song's most dependable pairing uses their knowledge to analyze “I Can't Go For That” from the hitmaking duo of Daryl Hall and John Oates. Join the guys as they break down the tenuous balance of creative partnerships, the effects of the blue-eyed soul phenomenon, and uncover the secret third person who co-wrote many of Hall & Oates' biggest hits.

This week on One Song, we're sharing another music podcast that LUXXURY and Diallo both love. It's called Switched On Pop, and it's about the making and meaning of popular music, hosted by musicologist Nate Sloan and songwriter Charlie Harding.The episode we're sharing focuses on the fact that the first half of 2024 has been for the “pop girlie.” It seems like every major artist who's dominated the discourse this year has been a woman, ostensibly making music about what it means to be a woman. There's Camila Cabello's "Chanel no.5,” Lorde and Charli XCX working out the labyrinth of emotions that come with female friendship on the “Girl, so confusing” remix, and Sabrina Carpenter's ode to the female ego, “Please Please Please." On this episode, Charlie, Nate, and Reanna – with some insight from journalist Ilana Kaplan – unpack these tracks at length, exploring what these artists are saying about femininity, and by extension, themselves.
