"The purpose of this record is to demonstrate a neglective factor in funnel pickup design. Namely, the ability of the pickup to stay in contact with the groove modulation over a wide range of frequencies and intensities. In other words, to track the groove..." -- DJ Magic Mike, "The House of Magic," Bass is the Name of the Game (1988)I've been peeling back the layers of the music-world onion for as long as I can remember.One of my fondest chapters in that book of memories is the chunk in which my cousin, Rob, lived near me. It was a twoish-year stretch; he and his family lived in Shawnee, KS for a minute, and in Ottawa, KS for another (They've otherwise always been FLA/NJ people.). When he/they moved to the area, though, I'd just entered my first full season as a bona fide (in my mind) music connoisseur. Rob had been doing his own heavy lifting as well. And we got to merge.That pair -- or trio -- of years were incredible for me. Truly life-changing. I got to spend time with my four cousins and my aunt and uncle; had they never made the move, I'd barely've ever known them. They treated me like one of their own, coming to get me on Fridays and returning me on Sundays, seldom leaving the burden on my mom.It was so fantastic. The kids all got along. Frank and Maureen loved each other and showed tons of affection. I felt like my every need was catered to. And Rob and I became closer friends than either of us knew we needed. It's one of the fondest memories of my youth.We ate like kings and were both doted on and left to our own. We played baseball and wrestled and went places in their big-ass van. But more than anything, Rob and I both shared a love of music. And we turned each other on to stuff. And shopped for cassettes.One of the artists my cousin turned me on to -- via his then-freshest release -- was DJ Magic Mike. And I loved it. And I turned a bunch of my homies on to it.It was a pivot in my music education, and my gratitude for that experience has never faded.I love doing this podcast because I get to meet folks.I get to meet them and learn about who they are (in person!) and what they're in to, and what some of their favorite albums have been.It's really been great, and I've felt grateful from Day 1 that this is a thing that I'm doing in Kansas City, because it's a beautiful town with lots of amazing people in and around it.So this one's a me episode because I hit a patch. I talk about five of my faves, which're these:Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti (1975)Junta (1989), PhishDe La Soul's Stakes Is High (1996)Mushroom Jazz (1997), Mark FarinaKurt Vile's Wakin' on a Pretty Daze: Deluxe Daze (Post Haze) (2013)And that's all I have to say about that.copyright disclaimer: I do not own the rights to the audio samples contained within this episode (and it's a lengthy list this go-round 'cause I've included some song snippets from my selections) but -- for intro/outro purposes only -- they are snapshots from a tune called, "The Seed (2.0)" by The Roots from their 2002 release, Phrenology, which is a Geffen Records Release c/o UMG Recordings, Inc.

Octagon City was an attempt at establishing a vegetarian Utopia on the plains of Kansas in the mid 1850s. The Reformers of the Day were out to change the world through Phrenology, avoiding the evils of liquor, coffee and tea, limiting the spread of slavery and improving their life through a meat-less diet. A little spot on the banks of the Neosho River was chosen. The vegetarian emigrants also believed the Octagon to be the best design for a family home and the entire community was based on that shape. One hundred  brave souls arrived in Kansas in the Spring of 1856 to make their new start, until... SUPPORT INDEPENDENT ARTIST! Check out all we have to offer at withinpodcast.com!

Historian and Author of 'Science and Power in the 19th Century Tasman World' Alex Roginski on how phrenology made its way into our lounge rooms.

Phrenology is a pseudoscience that emerged in the early 19th century, proposing that the shape and size of various areas of the brain (and thus the overlying skull) determine a person’s character, personality traits, and intellectual abilities. It was founded by German physician Franz Joseph Gall around 1796. Gall theorized that different brain regions were … Continue reading Episode 406: Phrenology – The Skull Bump Pseudoscience

In the 19th century, a new discipline swept over the medical and legal professions.  This belief held that a person's personality could be determined by analyzing the contours or bumps on their head.  The belief had a surprising amount of sway among certain people, and it developed a large following before eventually being thoroughly discredited. Learn more about the pseudoscience of phrenology, how it was developed, and why it caught on on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

This week, we discuss the infamous pseudoscience called phrenology - the prediction of mental traits by measuring bumps on the skull.

Can we know your personality by studying the shape of your head?    

It is 1834. Can you learn how the human mind works by massaging the decomposing skull of Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns? The Dumfries Burns Club certainly seem to think so...

The contentious science of phrenology once promised insight into character and intellect through external ‘reading' of the head. In the transforming settler-colonial landscapes of nineteenth-century Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, popular phrenologists — figures who often hailed from the margins — performed their science of touch and cranial jargon everywhere from mechanics' institutions to public houses.  In Science and Power in the Nineteenth-Century Tasman World: Popular Phrenology in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand (Cambridge UP, 2023), Alexandra Roginski recounts a history of this everyday practice, exploring how it featured in the fates of people living in, and moving through, the Tasman World. Innovatively drawing on historical newspapers and a network of archives, she traces the careers of a diverse range of popular phrenologists and those they encountered. By analysing the actions at play in scientific episodes through ethnographic, social and cultural history, Roginski considers how this now-discredited science could, in its own day, yield fleeting power and advantage, even against a backdrop of large-scale dispossession and social brittleness.

When Rock 'n' Roll Attorney Everett Newton stops by the Treehouse, you'd think it would elevate the discourse. You'd think.

In this chunky episode, we get into the work of The Roots where whilst we would make an effort to bomb through discographies for the sake of time, we simply couldn't for The Roots because they seemed to depart from their past album nearly every time. The subtle switches in their music over time would end up creating a wide reach. From "Jam Session" Hip-Hop to dense concept albums, it was certainly worth taking the time.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:08) (Ben = Bold / Charlie = Italics) Lil Uzi Vert - Pink Tape The Alchemist - Fly High Curren$y & Harry Fraud - Vices LUCKI - s*x m*ney dr*gs Conway - Drumwork Stu Bangas x Chino XL - God's Carpenter D-Block Europe - DBE World Itee - PAPERS Maeta - When I Hear Your Name Speech Debelle - Sunday Dinner On a Monday Elmiene - EL-MEAN Splurgeboys - Jet Pack Flows Meshell Ndegeocello - The Omnichord Real Book Terrace Martin - Fine Tune Topic Intro/Ben's Research House - (16:56)Organix - (27:12)Do You Want More?!!!??! - (35:17)Illadelph Halflife - (44:37)Things Fall Apart - (57:27)Phrenology - (1:12:59)The Tipping Point - (1:23:04)Game Theory - (1:34:15)Rising Down - (1:40:59)How I Got Over - (1:46:37)"Undun" & "...And Then You Shoot Your Cousin" - (1:50:55)Ranking The Roots - (2:05:31)Lighter Note - (2:08:57)

What with popular attribution of the phrase “We are not amused” to Queen Victoria and the widespread belief that Victorians were obsessed with etiquette and death, it's easy to get the impression that many people during this period lacked a sense of humor.

As broadcast March 30, 2023 with The Roots and Durand Jones proving they are omniscient.  Just about 20 years ago today saw The Roots release their landmark Phrenology LP, so we started with the smashing lead single to commence proceedings.  Both Black Thought and Durand Jones show up not once but twice during our Sampled funk & soul first hour, then we had great stuff from Freedom Fry, Tyler, Lonnie Liston Smith, and Lord Echo just to rattle off a few legends featured with new joints out.  Hour 2 we get AMPED once again, with Dan Lloyd dropping dimes from GEL, boygenius, and The Beths to make sure we finish the process extra strong.Tracklist:Part I (00:00)The Roots feat Cody Chestnutt – The Seed 2.079.5 feat Durand Jones – Our Hearts Didn't Go That WayTyler, The Creator – DOGTOOTHThee Sacred Souls – Running AwayFreedom Fry – Je T'aime Pas, Je T'aimeSalami Rose Joe Louis feat Brijean – PropagandaFreedom Fry – Merci, Non MerciPart II (32:20)El Michels Affair & Black Thought – I'm Still SomehowLord Echo – In Your Life (Lisa Tomlins vers)Devon Gilfillian – Right Kind of CrazyLonnie Liston Smith & Jazz Is Dead feat Loren Oden – A New SpringDurand Jones – That FeelingLeonid & Friends – Street Player (Dimitri from Paris Super Disco Blend Pt 1 & 2)Part III (64:20)Empire State Bastard – HarvestThe Beths – Watching the CreditsBoygenius – True BlueCrawlers – That Time of Year AlwaysLinkin Park – Fighting MyselfSamiam – Lights Out Little Hustler Part IV (95:59)Smashing Pumpkins – SpellbindingGel – Honed BladeGord Downie and Bob Rock – Greyboy SaysCable Ties – Time For YouLockstep - WeaveDEVO – Beautiful World

Dylan and Danny are joined by supreme overlord audio embassador of the pod Ian Wendrow to discuss the albums Phrenology and The Tipping Point by The Roots.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has produced amazing images in its first 5 months, but amazing science as well. Roland hears from one of the leading astronomers on the JWST programme, Dr Heidi Hammel, as well as other experts on what they are already learning about the first galaxies in the Universe, the birth places of stars, the strange behaviour of some other stars, and the first view of Neptune's rings in over 30 years. Over the past 12 months, CrowdScience has travelled the world, from arctic glacierscapes to equatorial deserts, to answer listeners' science queries. Sometimes, the team come across tales that don't quite fit with the quest in hand, but still draw a laugh, or a gasp. In this show, Marnie Chesterton revisits those stories, with members of the CrowdScience crew. Alex the Parrot was a smart bird, with an impressive vocabulary and the ability to count and do basic maths. He was also intimidating and mean to a younger parrot, Griffin, who didn't have the same grasp of the English language. Scientist Irene Pepperberg shares the consequence of this work-place bullying.  Take a tour of the disaster room at ICPAC, the IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Centre (ICPAC) based in Nairobi, Kenya. It's a new building where scientists keep watch for weird new weather and passes that information to 11 East African countries. Viola Otieno is an Earth Observation (EO) Expert and she explained how they track everything from cyclones to clouds of desert locust. Malcolm MacCallum is curator of the Anatomical Museum at Edinburgh University in Scotland, which holds a collection of death masks and skull casts used by the Edinburgh Phrenological Society. Phrenology was a pseudoscience, popular in the 1820s, where individuals attempted to elucidate peoples' proclivities and personalities by the shape of their heads. We see what the phrenologists had to say about Sir Isaac Newton and the “worst pirate” John Tardy. While recording on Greenland's icesheet, the CrowdScience team were told by Professor Jason Box about “party ice.” 40,000 year old glacial ice is a superior garnish for your cocktail than normal freezer ice, apparently. This starts a quest for the perfect Arctic cocktail. (Image: Young stars form from clouds of interstellar gas and dust in the stellar "nursery" of the Carina Nebula.

Have you thought you were literally going crazy since a loved one died?  You're not alone! Learn how grief changes the brain and things you can do to improve.Grief is Much More Than an EmotionYou may think that grief is a single emotion, but it is actually a powerful, multifaceted, and often uncontrollable response that human beings experience following a personally painful or traumatic event, such as the death of a loved one. Grief can affect us not only emotionally but also physically, mentally, and even spiritually. While difficult and often painful, grief is a normal and necessary response to the death of a loved one, and most people will see a reduction of grief-induced physical effects with the passage of time.Here's the road map:00:00 Intro06:13 Phrenology and Phlogiston Theory10:06 Your Brain on Grief26:27 Tips for Coping with GriefFollow us on Facebook | Instagram | Email us at mail@every1dies.orgClick on this link to Rate and Review our podcast!

His book, After Phrenology: Neural Reuse and the Interactive Brain, calls for a re-conceptualization of how we understand and study brains and minds. Neural reuse is the phenomenon that any given brain area is active for multiple cognitive functions, and partners with different sets of brain areas to carry out different cognitive functions. We discuss the implications for this, and other topics in Michael's research and the book, like evolution, embodied cognition, and Gibsonian perception. Michael also fields guest questions from John Krakauer and Alex Gomez-Marin, about representations and metaphysics, respectively.

In this 9th episode of A Special Place in Hell, Meghan kicks off the conversation by pondering a friend's advice that she not make fun of herself for being an “aging Gen Xer.” She asks why Sarah's tagline gets to be “self-hating millennial” when she, too, is self-hating (to which Sarah explains that she doesn't hate herself, merely the entire rest of her generation). They then move on to an uncharacteristically somber topic: the attack on writer Salman Rushdie. Sarah expertly lays out the chronology of the whole affair, even though the offending work, The Satanic Verses, was published before she was born. She predicts that this event will change nothing. Meghan's contribution to the conversation consists mainly of pretending to remember what The Satanic Verses was about and avoiding saying that she was already in college when it came out. Finally, they tackle the more critical topic of Sarah's recent Twitter escapades, including a poll about physical affection (in which Meghan reveals herself as an Ice Queen, and Sarah reveals herself to be needy hugger) and one embarrassingly ratioed thread in which which Sarah wondered how physicality might play a role in friend selection. She recalls meeting online friends “irl” for the first time and being surprised when their physical appearances and mannerisms didn't match their online personae, and asks if Meghan has ever felt out of place in such a circumstance. Meghan proclaims to have never had this experience because she is an #AgingGenXer and made all her friends in the real world. The girls/women remind listeners to rate and review the show and announce perks for paid subscribers, including at the highest level, the opportunity to braid Sarah's hair. In the bonus content, available only for paid subscribers, the girls/women get big mad at the non-binary Joan of Arc production at Shakespeare's Globe Theater in London, and then proceed into a disagreement about how this will all end, concluding with a lighthearted discussion on mass rape in England.

While the credibility of phrenology inevitably deteriorated over time, it was neither a completely original concept, nor, in some respects, a completely useless one. In the second part of this two-part series, Ben, Noel and Max explore the ancient precedents of judging inner qualities based on outer appearance, as well as what modern scientists have to say about how phrenology, as imperfect as it was, helped establish some concepts that stay with the world of research today. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we discuss personality tests. Can we test ourselves into self understanding? Topics include: Myers-Briggs; the Big Five; the Unknowability of the Self; and Phrenology. 

Once upon a time, a young man named Franz Joseph Gall thought "That's weird... all my school chums with big eyes are good at memorizing things." Years later, he took this idea and ran with it, assuring people that bumps on their skulls held profound insights about both their flaws and their talents. Nowadays everyone agrees phrenology is bunk -- but in its heyday, folks across the US and Europe were convinced this quackery was the bleeding edge of scientific innovation. In part one of this two-part episode, Ben, Noel and Max dive into the origins of cranioscopy and phrenology. (We also fell in love with a side character named Dr. Finger.)

Snatching bodies from graves to sell them to medical and anatomy schools was once a super-common reason for disinterring corpses, but it's definitely not the only reason people have disturbed the dead. And as strange as this may sound, it turns out many people have had their skull stolen from their grave -- sometimes for research, sometimes for ransom, and sometimes, because they were considered prized possessions.

Jasmine and Kyla are staples in the behind the scene production of the show. Not in an editorial capacity like Grae and Spellcheck, but in a "Marco Polo the group chats at 2 in the morning to show off a cool find" capacity. Since their first visit to the show, the ladies of Corkscrew have become lifetime inmates at the Mothball Asylum. And that's the way we like it. The foursome cover the opening of the brick and mortar extension of Corkscrew Curiosities, go over tips for selling and prices (if that's what you're into), and just generally faun over each other until everyone is crying. But really it was just Sam who cried. Because this week's guests are family, the Estate Sale Walkthrough was basically the Texas Chainsaw Massacre in podcast form. The Curio Corner is an especially divine treat this week. We are graced with the presence of Mr. Grae himself, filling in for Jill who is currently out of town (and as such feels no obligation to work in any capacity). Phrenology, UFOs, and the living embodiment of nature's rage all make appearances. Listen to this one twice because who knows when we'll get to hear Grae's voice again. He's basically Punxsutawney Phil.
