The year was 1984. Prince came out with “Purple Rain.” Bruce Springsteen was touring for “Born in the USA.” And on the south side of Milwaukee, America’s polka king, Frankie Yankovic, performed at the Our Lady Queen of Peace parish festival. In attendance that day was six-year-old Mike Schneider. The Yankovic concert changed his life because it inspired Schneider to pick up the accordion. WPR’s Nick Rommel recently talked with the Wisconsin Polka Hall of Famer at a gig in Eagle.

In this radical episode of Past Tens: A Top 10 Time Machine, Dave and Milt hop in their DeLorean — flux capacitor fully operational — and set the date for June 16, 1984. They're not just cruising through the Billboard Top 10; they're living it like extras in Footloose. The episode kicks off with a heartfelt and totally tubular tribute to Dave's late father — think The Karate Kid's Mr. Miyagi, but with better dad jokes. From there, it's a parade of parachute pants, popped collars, and personal memories as they discuss the artists who ruled the airwaves: Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Duran Duran, and Cyndi Lauper — basically the Justice League of 1984 pop. Of course, it wouldn't be Past Tens without a few twists. There's a Playdate Quiz that would stump even The NeverEnding Story's Atreyu, a musical mashup segment that's more chaotic than Gremlins after midnight, and their signature song substitution game — think Indiana Jones swapping the idol for a bag of sand, but with Huey Lewis tracks. Some highlights: 00:54: A heartfelt memorial for Dave's father, complete with more heart than Kevin Bacon dancing alone in a warehouse. 08:33: Pop Culture Highlights: Ghostbusters hit theaters, Purple Rain was on the horizon, and nobody put Baby in a corner (yet — Dirty Dancing was still a few years away). 15:22: Countdown kicks off — Night Ranger's “Sister Christian” taught us all what "motoring" really means (spoiler: it's not what your dad thinks). 38:01: Musical Mashups — imagine Footloose meets Thriller but performed by the cast of Revenge of the Nerds. 39:22: Laura Branigan's “Self Control” — the unofficial soundtrack to sneaking out past curfew in 1984. 44:54: Huey Lewis reminds everyone that the heart of rock and roll is still beating — even if it's wearing leg warmers. 59:33: Steve Perry's “Oh Sherrie,” a ballad so powerful it could get E.T. to phone home twice. 01:19:50: Cyndi Lauper's “Time After Time” — guaranteed to make even the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man misty-eyed. 01:23:15: Cyndi's legendary ties to the wrestling world — she could literally have body-slammed a Goonie. Milt also teases his upcoming trip to Africa, though we're unclear whether he'll be traveling by Toto song or Temple of Doom bridge. It's a journey that's equal parts nostalgia, musicology, and a John Hughes movie montage. Crank up your Walkman and join the ride — just don't feed Milt after midnight.

It's that time of year again - on May 17, 2025, the masses will descend upon Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA, for the 4th installment of what has become a destination, a cultural touchstone for fans of classic alternative, new wave, punk, synth-pop, goth, and dark wave - the Cruel World festival.  Goldenvoice has once again put together a fantastic lineup of legends, younger bands who are carrying the torch, and a couple of surprises thrown in.  This year's lineup includes New Order, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Go-Go's, Devo, OMD, Death Cult, Garbage, Madness, the first appearance of the original ‘Til Tuesday lineup in 35 years, Midge Ure, Clan of Xymox, Buzzcocks, Stereo MC's, Blancmange, Alison Moyet, and "next generation" acts like Nation of Language and She Wants Revenge. As has become O3L tradition, we celebrate this annual event with an episode where we each pick the five acts that we are, or at least would be, most excited to see at this year's festival.  This year, we've got a special guest Third Lad joining us, a gentleman who can rightfully be called Gen X's DJ - someone who grew up, like us, under the spell of this music and continues to keep it alive to not only our generation, but subsequent generations.  Jake Rudh has hosted Minnesota Public Radio's The Current for 15 years, the weekly Transmission club night in Minneapolis for nearly 25 years, he has been a resident DJ at the famous First Avenue (yes, where a lot of Purple Rain took place) for 15 years, as well as the annual ‘80s music festival '80s in the Sands in Mexico, which is hosted by Richard Blade and many of the classic MTV VJs.  We also have Jake to thank for the amazing content on the Slicing Up Eyeballs Facebook page - album anniversaries, artist birthdays, tour announcements and other news.  Plus, the world can partake in Transmission on Twitch, featuring 5+ hours of classic videos every week.  Jake Rudh Website: ⁠https://transmission-music.com/djs/jake-rudh/⁠ Facebook:⁠ https://www.facebook.com/JakeRudh/⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

1984. Prince is at his commercial and creative peak. "Purple Rain" – the album, the soundtrack, and the film – is a sensation. But that's when the backlash sets in. That's when Prince's public persona sours, thanks in part to a tell-all story sold by a former bodyguard for a big drug-money payday. All the while, the world is sinking further into chaos and disorder; guns, gangs, murder, AIDS, earthquakes. In these dark times, can Prince find purpose ... and a musical revolution?

A bottle of wine carries more than fermented grapes. It embodies intellectual property worth billions in global markets. From the tapas bars of Barcelona to the vineyards of Australia, wine names spark international incidents with real-world consequences.When a small Spanish bar named "Champanillo" (little champagne) faced the wrath of the powerful Comité Champagne, it revealed how geographical indications function like luxury brand protections. No actual champagne was sold, yet the European Court of Justice ruled the mere evocation of champagne's prestige violated EU law. Similarly, Belgian customs officials destroyed thousands of Miller High Life beer cans for daring to call themselves "The Champagne of Beers" despite using the slogan for over 120 years.These battles extend beyond Europe's borders. Croatian winemakers watched helplessly as their traditional Prošek dessert wine, despite being nothing like sparkling Prosecco, was blocked from registration after Italian opposition. Meanwhile, Australia and the EU reached a trade negotiation impasse over whether "Prosecco" refers to a grape variety (as Australians argue) or a protected place name (as Europeans insist). The dispute demonstrates how a single wine term can become geopolitical leverage worth potentially billions in trade.Luxury producers fight equally fierce battles, with Château Petrus winning a €1.2 million judgment against a cheaper wine called "Petrus Lambertini," while even Prince's estate successfully challenged an Ohio winery's "Purple Rain" wine. Counterfeiters face serious consequences too, fake Lafite bottles distributed through nearly 2,000 supermarkets resulted in an $11 million judgment, while Europol's "Operation Epigraphy" dismantled a multinational fake Rioja network spanning three countries.Whether through trademarks, geographical indications, certification marks, or patents (as seen in the competitive synthetic cork industry), wine intellectual property serves as the legal foundation for an industry that blends agriculture, culture, commerce and law. What's inside the bottle is only half the story, the rest lies in who has the right to tell it.Listen now to understand why every sip comes with a side of intellectual property law, and why the words on a wine label can be worth millions in courtrooms worldwide.Send us a text

Las etiquetas de vino esconden más que notas de cata, ocultan batallas legales feroces donde cada nombre, región y corcho pueden ser motivo de demandas millonarias. Al descorchar este episodio de Intangiblia, viajamos desde Barcelona hasta Australia para revelar cómo una pequeña cadena de tapas llamada "Champanillo" enfrentó la ira del poderoso Comité Champagne, y por qué miles de latas de cerveza fueron destruidas simplemente por usar la palabra "Champagne" en su eslogan. Te sorprenderá descubrir que incluso nombres con siglos de historia, como el vino croata Prošek, pueden ser bloqueados por sonar "demasiado similar" a Prosecco italiano.Desentrañamos conflictos comerciales globales donde lo que está en juego no son solo palabras, sino identidades culturales y millones de dólares en exportaciones. Revelamos operaciones internacionales contra falsificadores que replican vinos de élite como Lafite Rothschild y Rioja, demostrando que el fraude vinícola es crimen organizado a escala global. También exploramos las innovaciones en corchos sintéticos y cómo las patentes han transformado silenciosamente la industria.Este viaje por las copas conflictivas y pleitos con aroma a barrica te dejará cinco lecciones claras sobre la propiedad intelectual en el mundo vinícola. Porque, como descubrirás, el vino no solo se bebe y se disfruta, también se protege por ley. ¿Te gustaría conocer más historias donde la creatividad y el comercio colisionan?

No todo el mundo que se adjudica o al que adjudican la palabra Artista lo es. Cantante, músico, bailarin, compositor, productor, Prince Rogers Nelson, más conocido como Prince, 150 millones de discos, los consabidos premios, las multitudinarias actuaciones, representó ese papel. “Purple Rain”, ”Sign of the Times” o "Kiss” entre sus canciones memorables en un personal estilo que mezclaba funk, “dance” o tecno pero cuya última gira -"Microphone & Piano Tour”- podía apostar por el minimalismo. “El Artista antes conocido como Prince”, aún reza Internet, murió un 21 de Abril de 2016 (tres meses después de Bowie) en Paisley Park , solo, pero quizás la soledad la que acredita al verdadero Artista.

Look Behind The Look
The Spike Lee Joint GIRL 6 | Desperately Seeking Theresa Randle

Look Behind The Look

Welcome back to another bite-sized episode of Look Behind the Look. Today, we're back with another obscure cinema excavation exploring Spike Lee's 1996 film, Girl 6. The film offers a unique take on the world of phone sex operators through the eyes of an aspiring actress in New York City and, of course, so much more than that. We'll explore how this film fell into obscurity...and the layered messages on race and female exploitation.Despite its ambitious narrative, the film received mixed reviews upon release and was a commercial disappointment, grossing approximately $4.9 million against a $12 million budget. Girl 6 was dismissed so hard when it came out; it's like it just vanished from Spike Lee's filmography. Reviewers like The Washington Post's Rita Kempley described it as "little more than a profane litany punctuated by Oscar-caliber orgasms," while the Post's Desson Howe stated that "it's enough to reduce expectations over him forever."Even when discussing He Got Game two years later, Spike wouldn't mention Girl 6…That's how much people sidelined it. It's wild because after Girl 6, Spike didn't make another film centered on a female perspective until Chi-Raq in 2015, almost 20 years later. You have to wonder if the reception to Girl 6 made Spike pull back from telling stories about women, especially Black women, navigating systems that weren't built for them. Girl 6 is one of Spike's most overlooked films, but also one of the most fascinating. That's exactly why it deserves a closer look behind the look.A Cultural ReassessmentIn 1996, people didn't know what to do with Girl 6. It barely made a dent at the box office, critics were lukewarm at best, and ultimately, it faded into obscurity. But here's the thing—Girl 6 wasn't a failure. It was a film about performance, sex, race, capitalism, and identity. It didn't fit the mold Hollywood—or even Spike Lee fans—wanted it to fit.This was Spike's first time directing a script he didn't write. The screenplay came from Pulitzer Prize-winner Suzan-Lori Parks, and what they created together was something totally different from the more straightforward sociopolitical narratives people had come to expect from Spike. Instead of overt protest, Girl 6 gives us a quiet, messy rebellion in the form of one Black woman trying to survive the film industry without selling her soul.Theresa Randle plays Judy, a struggling actress who ends up working as a phone sex operator to make ends meet. And that premise could've easily become male-gazey or exploitative in the wrong hands. But it doesn't. This is a story about the male gaze, not one that indulges it. The camera doesn't leer. It's observant. It's empathetic. It's watching Judy navigate objectification. Beyond general objectification, it shows how she manages which specific forms of objectification she subjugates herself to, like being told by her boss, Lil played by a perfectly cast, Hollywood legend, Jenifer Lewis, she needs to sound “Caucasian” on the phone, because that's what “the client likes.”The film also drops in these surreal, meta moments that throw you off, especially the interspersed news storyline of the young black girl who survived falling down the elevator shaft in her building, but that's the point. It draws a direct line from girlhood to adulthood—how young Black girls are burdened from the start with invisibility, impossible standards, and stereotypes they're expected to navigate alone just to survive. We see Judy auditioning for roles where she's told to be more "urban," more "real," while directors like Quentin Tarantino, in his now-infamous cameo, barks at Judy with lines laced in microaggressions that escalate—into full-blown aggression, unchecked racism, and flat-out exploitation as he demands she take her top off on camera. It's violent in its familiarity. And that's the point. Girl 6 doesn't flinch—it forces us to sit in the discomfort, to confront how easily Black women are dehumanized under the guise of “opportunity.” This isn't just a scene. It's a reckoning that begins Judy's arc. It's Spike and Suzan-Lori Parks holding up a mirror and asking, ‘How many times has this happened—and how many times did we call it art?' or better yet "This is what you do to Black women when you 'give them a chance.'"And that's why the ending hits so hard. Because after everything—after all that growth and pain and disillusionment—it's gutting to see Judy go back to Shoplifter. It's framed like a reunion, maybe even a resolution—but it isn't. It's a return to something familiar. Something that once had control over her.And when she heads to L.A. for her so-called fresh start, she walks right into the same kind of exploitative audition that launched this whole journey. The loop restarts. But this time—she doesn't freeze. She doesn't stay quiet. She doesn't submit. She assertively leaves. That moment shifts everything. Because even though the circumstances haven't evolved, she has. It's not loud. It's not celebrated. But it's powerful. It's self-possession. It's Judy refusing to play the part again, even if the script is exactly the same.So no, the ending isn't tied up in a bow. But it's not hopeless either. Girl 6 isn't offering a fantasy of escape—it's showing us what resistance looks like when the world and the people around you won't meet you halfway. Quiet, deliberate, exhausted… but still yours.So why did Girl 6 flop? Because audiences weren't ready for a Black feminist art film disguised as a phone-sex dramedy. It didn't check the boxes. It wasn't "important" in how people expected a Spike Lee joint to be. The film's portrayal of Judy's experiences resonates with contemporary discussions about the empowerment and exploitation inherent in everything we've come to understand about performance, labor, and digital sex work (hello, OnlyFans), Girl 6 feels prophetic. In recent years, Girl 6 has been reassessed for its ahead-of-its-time commentary on sex work and female agency.It's time we stop calling it a misstep. Girl 6 didn't fail. We did—for not seeing what it was trying to show us. With all that said, I do still think it's worth critiquing how a man directing the film despite having a female screenwriter is a statement and impression in and of itself that is left upon this film, and that's something we're still unpacking today.The wigs, costuming, and futuristic sets are all intentional and impeccably designed. Judy is a chameleon, adapting to the fantasies projected onto her. She tries never to lose herself, but as the film progresses, it becomes a hard line to walk. And Randle does it brilliantly. Her performance is nuanced, internal, and often quiet—maybe that's why it got overlooked. People expected something louder. But Judy's strength is in her stillness. I paused the film so many times in awe, wondering - how we didn't get Theresa Randle leading dozens of films post-Girl 6. Her performance has always stuck with me. She is the film.Girl 6 is a wig-lover's dream. Theresa Randle wears over 20 different wigs and styles throughout the film, and each one feels like a window into her state of mind or her persona at that moment. Her hair isn't just flair—it's fashion, character, power, and commentary all in one.There's the long honey-blonde crop she rocks in the phone booth—classic "sex symbol" vibes and we see everything from her an ode to Dorothy Dandridge, bantu knots, finger waves, a full-on Foxy Brown afro—it's a whiplash of transformations that, if you blink, you might miss one. Her hair becomes armor, a mask, a performance. And what's genius is that the wigs and styling reflect the emotional tone of each scene without her having to say a word.It also speaks to the fantasy that phone sex work sells. Every call, every client, is a role she steps into. And Theresa's ever-changing look mirrors that idea—who she is depends entirely on who's on the other end of the line and what they're paying for.Plus, let's give some flowers to the hairstyling team. There is not much information out there about who exactly was responsible. I tried to get in touch with Lisa Hazell, but could not reach her for an interview. The hair designs gave Theresa an entire visual vocabulary of Black femininity, expression, power, seduction, and identity.Theresa Randle played Judy, the lead role. Before this, Randle had appeared in supporting roles in Lee's "Jungle Fever" and "Malcolm X." Her performance as Judy marked her first leading role, showcasing her range and depth as an actress.And while a lot of this film wasn't exactly the norm for Spike, he still had a role, as he often does—but this time, it feels especially personal. He plays Judy's cousin and best friend, Jimmy, a comic book nerd obsessed with blaxploitation and sports memorabilia. It's sweet and totally feels like a little bit of an opportunity for Spike to get all his Brooklyn Dodgers gear into the production design. He's one of the only people in her life who doesn't sexualize Judy, who just wants to hang out and talk about old-school movies. It's giving Letterboxd boyfriend energy… uh if your boyfriend was your cousin and just wanted to debate Pam Grier films over pizza. Their friendship grounds the film, a reminder of who Judy is underneath all the wigs and roleplay.The opposite of Jimmy is Isaiah Washington's character—Judy's ex, known only as “Shoplifter.” And that name alone tells you everything. He's not even given the dignity of a real identity—just a label, a behavior, a red flag. He's controlling in the way so many men are: smiling, supportive on the surface, but constantly trying to reshape her into someone more manageable. He pushes her to get a “real job,” but what he really wants is her dependence. He wants her small.The tension between them is always there—quiet, but constant. And the way Spike shoots those scenes, you can feel the power imbalance. It's intimate, but it's not safe. These aren't just moments between two people with history. These are scenes about how easily women—especially Black women—are asked to compromise themselves in exchange for stability, approval, or love that's conditional.Both of these male characters exist to show us different versions of masculinity—Jimmy is supportive, if a little clueless, and Isaiah's character is the opposite: demanding, judgmental, and ultimately part of the reason Judy needs to reclaim her voice in the first place.The film is peppered with notable cameos, adding layers of meta-commentary. As mentioned previously, Quentin Tarantino appears as the self-absorbed director, and this collaboration, interestingly enough, occurred before the well-documented disagreements between Lee and Tarantino over the use of racial slurs in cinema.We also get Halle Berry, Debi Mazar, John Turturro, Ron Silver, John Cameron Mitchell, and Michael Imperioli giving their best, if not strangest, character acting bits to the film.Other notable appearances include Madonna as the competing strip club owner. She looked insanely good—possibly the best she's ever looked, and that's saying a lot for someone who literally invented iconic beauty in the 80s and 90s—and, of course, supermodel Naomi Campbell as a fellow phone sex operator, taking on a more demure and reserved role.Pete Travers at Rolling Stone called Girl 6 "the worst movie Spike Lee has ever made," one that "[resorts] to all-star cameos to disguise structural shortcomings." Still, I believe these cameos contribute to the film's commentary on fame, exploitation, and the blurred lines between reality and performance.The PRINCE SoundtrackI could never go without mentioning one of the film's most essential elements, being its soundtrack, composed entirely of songs by Prince. You can't say that about any other film outside of Purple Rain. The entire soundtrack is Prince. Yup. Not just a song or two—the whole thing. And it's not a greatest-hits situation either; We're talking deep cuts, unreleased tracks, B-sides, and songs he gave just to this movie. "She Spoke 2 Me"? Unreal. "Don't Talk 2 Strangers"? Are you kidding? These weren't just throwaways—he curated a whole vibe for Judy's world, and I can't even believe we aren't talking about this every day.Prince was famously selective about who he worked with, and it says a lot that he said yes to this film. You get the sense that he understood what the story was about—performance, femininity, identity, power. And that's all over his music, too. Prince elevates the whole damn film. That's the kind of creative alignment that doesn't happen often. Honestly, the Girl 6 soundtrack is one of the most slept-on parts of Prince's catalog—and of 90s cinema in general.How this happened still blows my mind and definitely leads me to believe that, aside from Spike distancing himself from the film, the complexity of continuing to secure rights to Prince's catalog may be why we haven't been able to stream the film. That's a whooooole other can of worms to dive into for another day…But I will get to the bottom of it.Girl 6's unique collaborations, themes, and the conversations it continues to inspire about representation, exploitation, and agency for Black women and in the entertainment industry are why it remains a fascinating entry in Spike Lee's filmography. Although its approach to these themes may have been clunky, convoluted—dare I say, disjointed—it's 1000% worth watching, studying, and taking the time to understand the story beyond traditional narrative form.Unless you own a VHS or DVD copy, it's a shame you can only find it for $100+ on eBay right now. Kelli and I mailed the DVD back and forth like it was 2006 to study and put this episode together.

1985 hat Prince mit seiner Band "The Revolution" das Album "Around The World In A Day" herausgebracht, da schwebte er noch auf der Erfolgswelle von "Purple Rain". "Around The World In A Day" ist opulent, bunt und ganz anders als die Musik, die Prince vorher so erfolgreich gemacht hat. Das Album ist auch kommerziell gesehen nicht so erfolgreich geworden wie die Vorgängerplatte "Purple Rain", aber an die Spitze der Charts hat Prince es damit trotzdem geschafft. So unterschiedlich die Songs auf dem Album sind, so unterschiedlich urteilen auch die Kritiker über "Around The World In A Day". An den Erfolg von "Purple Rain" anzuknüpfen war zu diesem Zeitpunkt aber auch gar nicht möglich, suggeriert SWR1 Musikredakteur Stephan Fahrig im Podcast. Mit "Purple Rain" war Prince zu der Zeit vielleicht sogar größer als Michael Jackson oder Madonna, findet Stephan Fahrig. "Von so einem Erfolg (wie "Purple Rain") hätten andere Künstler zwei oder drei Jahre gezehrt", erklärt Stephan Fahrig – Prince nicht. Der hat nach seinem Über-Album direkt diese Platte nachgelegt, zum Unmut seiner Plattenfirma, die das Meisterwerk von Prince gerne noch mehr finanziell ausgequetscht hätten. Nach seinem Welterfolg von "Purple Rain" hatten viele Fans von Prince eine Art Fortsetzung erwartet oder erhofft, als "Around The World In A Day" im April 1985 rausgekommen ist. Die Realität sah ganz anders aus. Statt mit einem kraftvollen Rocksong, wie man es vielleicht als Fan von Prince erwartet hat, startet das Album mit Trommeln und orientalischen Klängen – also ganz anders. Das hat auch unseren Podcastgast Patrick Obrusnik überrascht. "Das ist ja ein mutiger Einstieg", hat er gedacht, als er die Platte damals aus dem Laden nach Hause gebracht hat und zum ersten Mal die Nadel auf die Rille gesetzt hat. Trotzdem ist das Album für den Journalisten vom BR ein tolles Album, erklärt er. Meilensteine-Gast Patrick Obrusnik sagt, für ihn war das Album "Around The World In A Day" von Prince damals eine "Offenbarung", weil das Album zeigt, was der Ausnahmekünstler Prince auch über "Purple Rain" hinaus noch so alles drauf hat. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Around The World In A Day" wird im Podcast gesprochen: (13:49) – "Around The World In A Day"(24:13) – "Paisley Park"(35:52) – "Raspberry Beret"(43:32) – "America"(48:14) – "Pop Life"(59:07) – "Temptation"__________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge: https://1.ard.de/prince-around-the-world-in-a-day- __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

We're one week away from the start of Pearl Jam's 2025 tour, and as we have come to know over recent years, anything can happen at a Pearl Jam show. This show from Amsterdam in 2022 is an excellent example of that. After suffering vocal damage from wildfire smoke in Paris, Eddie was not cleared to sing in the three shows following the incident. Shows in Vienna, Prague and the first night of Amsterdam were canceled, leaving doubt that the planned second show would take place. However, Ed was able to take the stage without being at 100% and still put on a show to remember. You can say that this show was the beginning of a new era for them. There were stools on the stage to open as the band would play the first five songs seated. This was something that the band would bring forth into the next two tour years in order to ease themselves into a set to prevent Ed from over-exhausting his voice. This section proved to set the tone for a night full of surprises and deep cuts as Nothing As It Seems opened the show for the first time since 2000, and W.M.A. made a rare appearance in the set. With Ed needing some vocal help, he sought the rest of the band for respite as we got to hear Stone sing Mankind, Mike and Matt tag team on KISS song Black Diamond, and Josh wailing away on Purple Rain. We invite our friend, Lori Jernberg, on for this episode and hear her stories of attending the show and dealing with the cancelation the night prior.

Send us a textGuitar prodigy Zack Quintana takes us through his remarkable musical journey, from picking up the guitar at age four to fronting bands by eight years old. With footage showing him shredding Hendrix solos as a child, it's no wonder the podcast host introduces him as "one of the best guitarists I ever met."During this intimate conversation, Quintana reveals the profound impact of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon on his approach to guitar playing. Rather than focusing on technical prowess, he learned to appreciate David Gilmour's "simple but powerful and tasteful" style where "every note is perfectly placed." This watershed moment coincided with his discovery of synesthesia – a condition that allows him to "hear colors" – making the album particularly significant in his development.The spiritual dimension of Quintana's artistry emerges through his discussion of Ram Dass's "Be Here Now," which helped him navigate the tension between artistic expression and ego-driven validation. "Creating for me is now almost meditative than trying to get a hit record," he explains, offering valuable perspective on maintaining authenticity in an industry often focused on external metrics of success.Live performance holds special significance for Quintana, inspired by the Grateful Dead's legendary Europe '72 recordings. He champions the idea that each performance should be unique, a philosophy that extends to his recording approach – prioritizing live energy even in studio settings. With influences ranging from Hendrix's revolutionary guitar techniques to Prince's commanding stage presence, Quintana continues crafting his distinctive musical identity with new releases on the horizon. Follow Zack on Instagram @ZackQuintanaOfficial and don't miss his upcoming projects – a Valentine's Day single and two albums dropping this spring!Follow My Pop Five: @mypopfive on all platforms We'll see you next time.

durée : 00:55:01 - Very Good Trip - par : Michka Assayas - Jeudi soir dernier, on apprenait stupéfait la mort de Prince Rogers Nelson dit Prince. Peu importe de quoi, peu importe comment, il est parti, et Michka Assayas lui rend hommage. Le 14 avril dernier, Prince se produisait sur la scène d'Atlanta. Artiste prolifique, le «Love Symbol» incarnait la pop des années 80. Il a notamment marqué toute une génération avec ses tubes comme par exemple Purple Rain. Petit par la taille mais grand par le talent, déjà à l'âge de 7 ans il a écrit sa toute première chanson, elle s'intitulait Funk Machine . Tout est dit. - « Sign ‘o' the Times » - « When Doves Cry » - « When You Were Mine » - « Around the World in a Day » - « Endorphinmachine » - « 4 the Tears in My Eyes » - « Purple Rain » - « The Cross » - « Sometimes It Snows in April » - réalisé par : Lilian ALLEAUME

The Black History Month Marathon ain't over! Thanks to Markellus from So Wizard Podcast, the three of us finally get to check off a big one. Yes folks, none of us had ever watched Purple Rain before this but we were all familiar with that album. Chris has been dreading this day, but Anita and I were looking forward to it. We review each song as it comes up, Anita gets mad at some hand gestures I made during a certain scene, Chris surprises us both, Anita has thoughts about Prince's kissing style, and I do my best rendition of "Gigolo's get Lonely Too" by Morris Day and The Time.

Nikki O'Neill, an R&B/Americana singer-songwriter and guitarist based in Chicago, is releasing her third solo album, Stories I Only Tell My Friends. It's being issued on Blackbird Record Label on March 14, 2025 on 12” LP vinyl, CD, digital download and streaming. This interweaving of Soul, Americana, Rock, Gospel and Blues is an integral part of O'Neill's sound, and likely due to her upbringing. “I was born in L.A., but grew up mostly in Stockholm, Sweden with a Russian grandmother and Polish mother,” she says. “Both of them, and also my father, grew up with war and had a history of constantly moving from one country and one apartment to another. My mom was young when she had me, and music seemed to be her source of joy. She loved listening to all kinds of artists, from Al Green to Santana, Dinah Washington, Stevie Wonder, John Lennon, and the Traveling Wilbury's. I soaked it all up like a sponge. I started making up songs when I was twelve, and first picked up a guitar when I was 16. I loved going to record stores, and when Prince's Purple Rain album came out, I bought it immediately and listened to it religiously. Then a friend and drummer in my first band introduced me to Sly Stone. The way Prince and Sly fused soul and rock, and were leaders of multi-racial bands with male and female musicians was tremendously influential.” O'Neill moved from Stockholm to New York City where she mostly played guitar in other bands. She relocated to Los Angeles after meeting Rich Lackowski at a music trade show. O'Neill became a solo artist, and the couple (now married) eventually became members of L.A.'s small, but supportive Americana artist community. After self-releasing her 2017 solo EP, Love Will Lead You Home (with songs co-written by lyricist Paul Menser), she regularly performed around L.A. with Lackowski in their 4-piece band, and was signed to Blackbird Record Label in August, 2020. In October that same year, she released World is Waiting, her second solo album and label debut. With touring opportunities erased by the pandemic and California becoming unaffordable, they packed up their instruments into her little red Honda Fit and drove to Lackowski's hometown of Chicago. “It took me a while to get rooted in Chicago, meet musicians and start writing again, but I also didn't want my songs to sound like leftovers from the last album,” O'Neill says. “I wanted to find out how Chicago would inspire me.” Stories I Only Tell My Friends is eloquent testimony to the inspiration she found.   Nikki's Info :  https://nikkioneill.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5FA6InY3pide4vE_YFEmYw/featured?view_as=public http://www.instagram.com/nikkioneillguitar http://www.facebook.com/nikkioneillmusic https://nikkioneill.bandcamp.com https://music.apple.com/us/artist/nikki-oneill/274063501 https://open.spotify.com/artist/6AJzwE3ASiLk4z10P3245T?si=KJZg1M00TA-DdVhRCXcr- gSiLk4z10P3245T https://www.bandsintown.com/a/7592729 https://bsky.app/profile/nikkioneill.bsky.social
