RockerMike and Rob Presents: Mad Dog Duce of The Mentors and special guest George Figueroa In 2006 Singer and drummer Mad Dog Duce Marc DeLeon, of the Mentors tribute band The Mantors, replaced Huber and, later, Savage. 2009 saw the release of Ducefixion, their eighth full-length record. The Mentors are an American heavy metal band, known for their deliberate shock rock lyrics. Originally formed in Seattle, Washington in May 1976,[1] they relocated to Los Angeles, California in 1979. The band garnered attention both from noted hard rock acts and pro-censorship movements such as the Parents Music Resource Center,[2] but the death of drummer and lead singer Eldon Hoke ("El Duce") in 1997 brought them unprecedented attention. The band remains active today with a different line-up: Sickie Wifebeater (Eric Carlson) on lead guitar, Dr Heathen Scum (Steve Broy) on bass guitar, Mad Dog on Vocals and drums. #TheMentors #SickieWifebeater #DrHeathenScum #ElDuce #PunkRock #ControversialMusic #ShockRock #Maddog #Executioner https://www.facebook.com/thementorsband https://x.com/thementors?s=21&t=Mzw5de5zsR-SDDbhyzH0Lg https://youtube.com/@thementorsband?si=QE05SGEZ_VaOEKEk https://open.spotify.com/artist/0TpMvuotiz4lgTGvdckWC0?si=e8GTBBCLTkCH_2qO4gmV6Q https://www.instagram.com/mentorcult https://www.instagram.com/mentors_rockumentary/?hl= https://instagram.com/musicmentorsonline?igshid=NzZlODBkYWE4Ng== Please follow us on Youtube,Facebook,Instagram,Twitter,Patreon and at www.gettinglumpedup.com https://linktr.ee/RobRossi Get your T-shirt at https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/gettinglumpedup And https://www.bonfire.com/store/getting-lumped-up/ Subscribe to the channel and hit the like button This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support https://www.patreon.com/Gettinglumpedup
In this episode we travel south of heaven where Hell awaits to spend seasons in the abyss and reign in blood with our undisputed attitude that God hates us all in the Chri$t illusion. Without divine intervention we see a world painted blood in repentless diabolus musica and tell the story of Slayer's debut album, Show No Mercy.In 1981 Huntington Park California guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman met at an audition and realised they were into the same stuff. Living only just around the corner was like-minded bass player and singer Tom Araya. All they needed to create the loudest, heaviest, fastest and most satany band ever was a double kickarse drummer. Then suddenly there was a knock at Kerry King's door. 16 year old Dave Lombardo had been told there was another long haired disreputable type in the area. So the plucky, pizza delivery man went and introduced himself. The original, the classic and the most persistent line up was complete.We will pick up the story there and tell you how that debut album came to be. There will be cameo guest star appearances from Bitch, Metal Blade Records, Iron Maiden, Phantom of the Opera.

You know what really makes people want something? Tell them they can't have it. If your goal is to cast some reverse psychology incantation, you're golden! But in the 1980s, when a group of concerned parents with close political affiliations (read: married to politicians) wanted musicians to put content warnings on their albums, reverse psychology was not intended. Instead, we got a big ol' battle between a committee of “Washington Wives” and any musician publishing music with violent or explicit language and themes.Rob teaches Ray about Tipper Gore's vendetta against explicit music; the founding of the Parents Music Resource Center and its mission to enforce a music rating system; how musicians like Prince and Madonna (and Cyndi Lauper) found their songs on the “Filthy Fifteen”; Frank Zappa being a boss; Dee Snider being even more of a boss; and how issues of censorship continue to be debated today.If you like what we're doing, please support us on Patreon, or you can subscribe to our bonus content on Apple Podcasts.

Check Playlist This episode of The Five Count featured an exclusive interview with Blackie Lawless. Blackie is best known as the founder and singer for the band W.A.S.P. He also played in bands like Circus Circus and London. During the show he discussed his experience battling the Parents Music Resource Center, his memories of appearing in the film The Dungeonmaster, and W.A.S.P.'s “The 40th Never Stops” tour. See W.A.S.P. on Aug. 16 at The Fillmore in Minneapolis! During the rest of the show we discussed the forgotten trend of wrapping toilets in carpet, heard from a guy who called from a haunted mall, and decided which Kool-Aid flavors would taste best injected into bratwurst. The obvious answer is Great Bludini! https://youtu.be/LA3ID178XLE
Does music censorship still happen in America? Is “sex, drugs, and rock ‘n' roll” dead? Is transgression in art and culture celebrated anymore (or was it ever)? From Beyonce and Taylor Swift to Ozzy Osbourne and Robin Thicke, SPIN magazine founder Bob Guccione Jr. and Reason magazine Editor at Large Nick Gillespie join a lively discussion of our current moment in pop culture. Bob also shares some war stories from his fight against the Parents Music Resource Center in the 1980s. www.sotospeakpodcast.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freespeechtalk Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/freespeechtalk Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sotospeakpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/freespeechtalk/ Email us: sotospeak@thefire.org

Dem Vinyl Boyz going CRAZY for Prince (aka the symbol) and his legendary album from 1984. Purple Rain is the sixth studio album by American recording artist Prince, released on June 25, 1984, by Warner Bros. Records and the soundtrack to the 1984 film of the same name. Purple Rain was musically denser than Prince's previous albums, emphasizing full band performances, and multiple layers of guitars, keyboards, electronic synthesizer effects, drum machines, and other instruments. Much of the album had a grandiose, synthesized, and psychedelic sheen to the production and performances. The music on Purple Rain is generally regarded as the most pop-oriented of Prince's career, though a number of elements point towards the more experimental records Prince would release after Purple Rain. The music video for the album's lead single "When Doves Cry" sparked controversy among network executives, who thought its sexual nature was too explicit for television. The risqué lyrics of "Darling Nikki" raised complaints from Tipper Gore and the Parents Music Resource Center and contributed to the implementation of Parental Advisory stickers and imprints on album covers. Prince designed Purple Rain as the project that would make him a superstar, and, surprisingly, that is exactly what happened. Simultaneously more focused and ambitious than any of his previous records, Purple Rain finds Prince consolidating his funk and R&B roots while moving boldly into pop, rock, and heavy metal with nine superbly crafted songs. Even its best-known songs don't tread conventional territory: the bass-less "When Doves Cry" is an eerie, spare neo-psychedelic masterpiece; "Let's Go Crazy" is a furious blend of metallic guitars, Stonesy riffs, and a hard funk backbeat; the anthemic title track is a majestic ballad filled with brilliant guitar flourishes. Although Prince's songwriting is at a peak, the presence of the Revolution pulls the music into sharper focus, giving it a tougher, more aggressive edge. And, with the guidance of Wendy and Lisa, Prince pushed heavily into psychedelia, adding swirling strings to the dreamy "Take Me With U" and the hard rock of "Baby I'm a Star." Even with all of his new, but uncompromising, forays into pop, Prince hasn't abandoned funk, and the robotic jam of "Computer Blue" and the menacing grind of "Darling Nikki" are among his finest songs. Taken together, all of the stylistic experiments add up to a stunning statement of purpose that remains one of the most exciting rock & roll albums ever recorded. Enjoy this week's episode.

Spotify has decided to put a warning on Joe Rogan's podcasts in response to the calls to censor him. After a few artists began to protest by removing their music from the platform, and many more subscribers canceled their subscriptions it was important for them to get ahead of the controversy. It's reminiscent of Tipper Gore's obsession in the late 20th century to censor Rap and Heavy Metal music. As her group, the Parents Music Resource Center, began to demand action from the record companies the record companies agreed to put a "parental advisory" on music with "explicit lyrics". Gore's objective was to reduce the consumption of music that she considered bad for society, music with sex, drugs, and violence. If you've listened to the radio lately you know she failed. How are those attempting to censor Joe Rogan making the same mistake as Tipper Gore, and how will it backfire on them? Join the conversation and get answers to these questions and more on According2Sam episode #103.

We're diving into the Parents Music Resource Center, Tipper Gore's crusade against offensive music. Parental advisory: Some of these songs suck and Kerouac curses at least twice.

Once upon a time...during the "Satanic Panic" of the 80's , a group of Washington wives formed a group called the PMRC. This stood for the Parents Music Resource Center and was headed by Tipper Gore, wife of , then senator and future Vice President Al Gore. After, walking in to her daughters room while hearing her play Prince's "Darling Nikki", Mrs Gore was SHOCKED to hear her 11 year old daughter hear the tale of Darling Nikki "masturbating to a magazine". So just like any true Karen, they complained to the manager! They had their husbands hold a Senate hearing in the summer of 1985 and asked the RFIAA (The figure head of the music industry) to start labeling music for sex, violence, drugs, alcohol , and the occult....much like the MPAA and the Movie industry. However, many artist argued that this would lead down a road to CENSORSHIP. This battle cry was headed by the three headed beast that was Frank Zappa, Dee Snyder of Twisted Sister, and .....JOHN DENVER. Ultimately there would be a compromise and most edgy content would be labeled with the infamous "PARENTAL ADVISORY " sticker we see on most album art today. However, this only became a badge of honor and some may argue made music...MORE EXPLICIT ....good job guys !

In October, 1973, WBAI radio in New York City aired legendary comedian George Carlin's "Seven Dirty Words" at around 2:00PM. A complaint was lodged by a listener, and the results of that complaint took the radio station (Pacifica Foundation) all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1978. Years later in 1985, 22 individuals who called themselves the Parents Music Resource Center leveraged their disproportionate political power to challenge free enterprise in the music industry. Dane shares speeches by John Denver and Frank Zappa, and provides all the context surrounding these events, and how they lead to the present reduction of our 1st Amendment rights and greenlit situations of "limited Free Speech." His Song of the Day to Check Out is John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High."Note: George Carlin's "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television" are now a preserved work in the Library of Congress's National Registry, along with the rest of his fantastic 1972 album Class Clown.This episode of MCREC, as well as my free story, "How To Get a Head in Life," now on MEDIUM, are brought to you by my Patreon patrons.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/danecurley)
#remodelyourlife #makemenmanlyagain Contains paid promotion. This week we’re joined by Brian Swanson from the “Denim & Pearls” podcast to discuss entrepreneurship and failure. In the news we’re covering some things you might not know about Tom Selleck, the mayor of Nashville’s treacherous efforts to keep bars closed, and a Canadian court’s decision to classify a man as married even though he never lived with his romantic partner. In politics we have some music from Joe Biden. The EXO Autoworks’ tool of the week is both man and tool. In sports we cover “Karate Combat” and a rare (for us) NFL story. Finally, this week in “Hist Story” has a look at Constitution Day, Tipper Gore and her “Parents Music Resource Center’s” attempt to censor music, and John Paul Jones’ (not the Zeppelin bassist) defeat and capture of a British ship.

Years before her husband Al was elected vice president of the United States, Tipper Gore established a reputation of her own, as a social issues advocate. And her issue, in the late 80s, was protecting America's children from sex and violence in the media. She was co-founder of the Parents Music Resource Center, which led the effort to require warning labels if on media contained profanity, sexual references, or violence. I met her in 1987. She had just published a book called Raising PG Kids In An X-Rated Society.
W.A.S.P. (1984) es el álbum debut (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81lbum_debut) de la banda estadounidense de heavy metal W.A.S.P. Para el álbum se había preparado una canción titulada "Animal (Fuck Like a Beast) (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_(Fuck_Like_a_Beast)) ", pero fue retirada del mismo por presiones de la discográfica. Sin embargo, fue añadida en la reedición de 1998, junto a otros dos temas extra. El Centro de Recursos Musicales (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parents_Music_Resource_Center) (o PMRC) incluyó la mencionada canción en su lista de las "Quince asquerosas", en la que aparecían canciones con contenido que atentaba contra la moral según este centro. Tras la presión por retirar la canción del álbum por parte de Capitol Records (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_Records) , la banda la publicó como sencillo en el Reino Unido en 1984. La canción "I Wanna Be Somebody (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Wanna_Be_Somebody) ", publicada como el primer sencillo del disco, obtuvo éxito comercial y se ubicó en la posición No. 84 en la lista de las "100 mejores canciones de hard rock" elaborada por VH1 (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/VH1) . Muchas de las canciones incluidas en el disco han sido tocadas por otros artistas. "Sleeping (In the Fire)" fue tocada por las bandas Tiamat (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiamat_(banda)) y Anders Manga (https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anders_Manga&action=edit&redlink=1) , "Hellion" por Children of Bodom (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_Bodom) e In Aeternum, "L.O.V.E. Machine (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.O.V.E._Machine) " por Fallen Man, Lullacry (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lullacry) , Fozzy (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fozzy) y Alghazanth, "I Wanna Be Somebody" por Sentenced (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentenced) , Catamenia (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catamenia) , Witchery (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witchery) , Avulsed (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avulsed) y Gates of Ishtar (https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gates_of_Ishtar&action=edit&redlink=1) , y "The Torture Never Stops" por el grupo de death metal Torture Division. La canción "Tormentor" fue utilizada en las películas The Dungeonmaster (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dungeonmaster) (1984) y TerrorVision (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/TerrorVision_(pel%C3%ADcula)) (1986)

Buckle up BS'rs, we're heading to court. Yep, we're jumping in the ol' time machine again and visiting the year 1985 to sit in on the Senate hearing instigated by The Parents Music Resource Center that culminated in letting every kid know exactly which album they wanted to buy because of the resultant "Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics" rating system. The theme of this week's song relies heavily on the idea that some people just think they know better than everyone else what is good for not only themselves, but the rest of us too.

In Episode 23, Vinnie summarizes heavy metal's first major battle against the establishment starting with the founding of the Parents Music Resource Center, and the creation of a list called the "Filthy Fifteen", leading to the famous testimonies by Frank Zappa, John Denver, and Dee Snider who became the voices of musical freedom of speech. This would all eventually lead to the creation of the iconic black and white Parental Advisory label.
Did Cyndi Lauper's hit song She Bop deserve the caution placed on it by the Parents Music Resource Center when it was released in 1984? Was Cyndi being coy about the real meaning of "bop" to get past the censors? How does its supposed or real message measure up today? Will Elizabeth ever find her autographed Cyndi photo?Very little to burn about this song, which was ahead of its time.

Popular culture is morally bankrupt, flagrantly licentious and utterly materialistic.
The Opus is out of the Blizzard and on Capitol Hill. Long before he was a teddy bear on reality TV, Ozzy Osbourne was seen as a demon through the eyes of many Americans. In fact, throughout the '80s, the Prince of Darkness was the subject of two separate court cases involving his music. Both "Suicide Solution" and "Mr. Crowley" drew ire from parents and politicians, who were no doubt fueled by the fear and rage of America's rampant Satanic Panic. This brought Ozzy into the sights of Tipper Gore and her Parents Music Resource Center. Host Andy Bothwell concludes his journey through 1980's Blizzard of Ozz by heading to America's capital with a team of experts. Today, he's joined by legendary pop culture writer Chuck Klosterman and The Columbine Effect author Beth Winegarner. Together, they discuss how Ozzy's battles during this time shaped first amendment rights for artists forever, how the war against censorship continues with social media, and how science sides with the holistic qualities of heavy metal. Next year marks the 40th anniversary of Ozzy Osbourne’s groundbreaking debut album, Blizzard of Oz. To celebrate, you can preview or stream music from Ozzy Osbourne here. Bonus: We’re also giving away his new career-spanning vinyl box set, See You on the Other Side.
Here's your daily look at 'Today in Rock History' featuring: "Tonight Show" host, Jimmy Fallon is 45. Lita Ford is 61. "Inside the Actors Studio" legend, James Lipton is 93. Adam West was born on this day in 1928. Today in 1985, a U.S. Senate committee heard testimony on the labeling and rating of music with explicit lyrics. It was initiated by the Parents Music Resource Center, led by Al Gore's wife Tipper Gore. The PMRC had made a list of the most objectionable songs. Their "Filthy Fifteen" included Prince's "Darling Nikki", Sheena Easton's "Sugar Walls", Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It", and Cyndi Lauper's "She Bop". The Senate committee heard testimony from Frank Zappa, John Denver and Dee Snider from Twisted Sister, who were opposed to music censorship. AND today in 1988, Bon Jovi released their fourth album "New Jersey."
Though the title of this episode might suggest such, this episode actually contains no explicit content. It does however contain thoughts on explicit content as an outlet for adolescence and perspectives on the nature of explicit content. From the Parents Music Resource Center to Phil Donahue, Dean explores the possible benefits of explicit content.
The Parents Music Resource Center in the 1980s was really just censorship in disguise. But it kind of backfired. Learn all about Tipper Gore's crusade in today's episode. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

Comedian Ed Wallick joins us to review songs found objectionable by the Parents Music Resource Center in 1985.
De um lado, músicos depravados. Do outro, a tradicional família conservadora americana. Essa briga existe desde que a música virou uma expressão artística. Mas nos anos 80 houve uma cruzada para classificar as músicas que seriam boas ou não para consumo do público. A Parents Music Resource Center, ou PMRC, criou um selo indicativo que … Continue lendo "BM #46 – As 15 Imundas"
The Whole Shebang: The Minute-by-Minute Velvet Goldmine Podcast
In Minute 96 of The Whole Shebang, Mike and Jenny start off with a seemingly-huge tangent to the “stranger danger” paranoia of their childhoods (thanks to the presence of “Gimme Danger” in this minute), then we dive into Arthur's frantic phone call to find Curt Wild, Curt's pretending to not be on the other end of the line, Curt's strange grungy garage-like office, the two men, presumably from the Reynolds regime, watching Curt carefully, why the Reynolds administration is so scared that word will leak out that Tommy Stone is Brian Slade, crackpot theories about subliminal messages and backmasking, which we link back up to the 1980s paranoia about stranger danger, the Parents Music Resource Center under Tipper Gore, what the hell kind of name is Tipper, rock opera dystopias from The Wall to The Apple, and the unsatisfying ending to the film's 1984 segment and Jenny's pitch for a Velvet Goldmine sequel.

INTRO A quick warning: today’s episode contains profanity and adult content. Sensitive listeners may want to skip ahead to next week’s discussion of Michael Hedges. Also, I’ve changed some names around so that the people that acted like jerks in my story can continue doing so in relative anonymity. Recordings: Matthew Cochran, “Cicadas at the Equinox” from Vapor Trail from a Paper Plane PART ONE: ZAPPA IN THE SCIENCE LAB I talk about an incident with a high school science teacher on the day I learned about Frank Zappa’s death, which takes us to a discussion of Zappa’s cultural relevance. We explore the Parents Music Resource Center and those oddball Senate hearings involving Frank, John Denver and co. Videos: Frank Zappa on MTV in 1984 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eT8Ip5mpZ0; Frank Zappa and John Lofton on CNN’s Crossfire in 1986https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpdvfTlKjP8 Recordings: The Mothers of Invention, “Dog Breath, In the Year of the Plague” from Uncle Meat PART TWO: TWO FRANKS AND A WATERMELON From Frank Zappa’s first interviews promoting The Mothers of Invention’s 1966 debut Freak Out, Frank identified himself as a composer who chose rock instrumentation as his primary medium. Understanding this distinction is absolutely critical to appreciating Frank Zappa The Guitarist, because when Frank Zappa the Composer chose to highlight Frank Zappa the Guitarist, it was because Frank Zappa the Guitarist had something unique to contribute to the composition as a whole. Recordings: Frank Zappa, “Watermelon in Easter Hay” from Joe’s Garage Commercial Break: Bernunzio Uptown Music (music bed: Lionel Loueke, “Ami-O” from Mwaliko) PART 3: A PASTICHE OF MUSICAL INFLUENCES (FILTERED THROUGH AN ICONIC MUSTACHE) Frank is one of those rare musical figures who seemed to arrive fully formed, the master of his musical domain. As distinct and idiosyncratic as Frank’s compositional voice may seem, his music is an amalgam of disparate influences that he himself outlined in the liner notes of Freak Out. We take a look at some of the most prevalent influences throughout Fran Zappa’s compositional output. Videos: Frank Zappa “The Lost Interview” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdncUKMFPiI Recordings: Edgar Varese: Poème électronique; Mothers of Invention, “The Return of the Son of Monster Magnet” from Freak Out; Igor Stravinsky, The Rite of Spring, San Francisco Symphony, Michael Tilson Thomas, cond.; Frank Zappa, “In-A-Gadda-Stravinsky” from Guitar, Muddy Waters “Country Blues” from Muddy Waters, the Early Recordings; Guitar Slim, “The Story of My Life” from Story of My Life; Howlin’ Wolf, “Who Will Be Next” from The Complete Chess Masters; Johnny Guitar Watson, “Three Hours Past Midnight” from Three Hours Past Midnight; Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, “I’m the Slime” from Overnight Sensation; Frank Zappa, “St. Alfonso’s Pancake Breakfast” from Apostrophe Commercial Break: Santa Cruz Guitar Company (music bed: Leo Kottke, “Parade” from Leo Live) PART 4: THE INSTRUMENTAL RECORDS Shut Up ‘n Play Yer Guitar, Shut Up ‘n Play Yer Guitar Some More, and Return of the Son of Shut Up ‘n Play Yer Guitar are superb documents of Frank Zappa the Guitar Player, but they’re mostly jam records without a lot of compositional content, so after a few minutes, the tracks get a bit tedious for my taste (send angry letters to matt.goes2eleven@gmail.com). However, there are some tracks that are just plain irresistible, so I spin a couple of them. Recordings: Frank Zappa, “Why Johnny Can’t Read” from Shut Up ‘n Play Yer Guitar; Frank Zappa, “St. Etienne” from Jazz from Hell; Frank Zappa, “Chunga’s Revenge” from Trance-Fusion PART FOUR: A SIT-DOWN WITH STEVE VAI, 20 YEARS LATER Another personal anecdote, this time about the great Steve Vai showing up at a coffee shop where I was playing a gig. Recordings: Frank Zappa, “Dog Breath Variations” from Yellow Shark
If I had been younger when record companies began putting warning labels on albums and tapes, responding to pressure from the Parents Music Resource Center and others, I'm sure I would have responded like almost every teenager I observed while working in a record store. The "Tipper sticker" served as a beacon, telling them which albums to buy. Only very rarely did I observe this attempt at censorship (some associated with the PMRC openly hoped their approach would lead to album bans) go in the other direction, with the sticker telling "concerned parents" not to fund a purchase. It did reveal some significant ethics and intelligence lapses within the United States Senate. In that respect, the sad spectacle delivered some nominal value. Different Drummer: Frank Zappa
In een recente reclamecampagne legt het tijdschrift Guitar Player de schuld voor de economische crisis bij ‘foute muziek’. In de reclames zie je een grafiekje met een correlatie tussen de stijgende populariteit van Carly Rae Jepsen, One Direction en Justin Bieber in 2012 en de economische neergang in dat jaar. Tagline: “nothing goes right when music is wrong”. Dit is natuurlijk grappig bedoeld, maar misschien klopt het wel? Is er een verband tussen muzieksmaak en bredere sociaaleconomische of technologische ontwikkelingen? Over deze vraag buigen de mediadoctoren zich samen met Koos Zwaan, Associate Lector bij de hogeschool INHolland en gepromoveerd op popmuziek. We belichten verschillende invloeden op smaak. Zo hebben ouders invloed, maar niet op de manier waarop de meeste mensen verwachten. We hebben het ook over technologische ontwikkelingen, zoals de opkomst van de walkman en later de iPod, maar ook die van de downloadcultuur. Het praktijkinterview is met Niels Aalberts, voormalig manager van Kyteman en nu vooral actief in marketing van muziek. Hij legt uit wat de rol van marketing is en hoe je als bandje marketing kunt inzetten om succesvol te worden. Aalberts geeft als advies dat je vooral niet je muziek moet afstemmen op trends. Het 200-seconden-item is deze keer gemaakt door Vincent, over de Parents Music Resource Center geleid door Tipper Gore (vrouw van). Hun protest leidde uiteindelijk tot de stickers ‘Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics. Aan de ene kant een label om ouders te waarschuwen, aan de andere kant een magneet voor jonge luisteraars die graag grenzen overschrijden. Dit item is ook apart via YouTube te beluisteren. Aan het einde proberen we een antwoord te formuleren op de vraag. Muzieksmaak is verweven met onze maatschappij en veranderingen in de omgeving hebben dus een weerslag op wat we willen luisteren. Muziek verandert dus mee. Die verwevenheid maakt het wel methodologisch lastig om zulke dingen te onderzoeken. Links bij deze aflevering: Persoonlijke pagina Koos Zwaan bij INHolland.
