Podcasts about Purple Rain

What if the sixth album is where artists finally step into their truest selves? We kick off season six by chasing that idea across genres and decades, building a mix from Radiohead, Bruce Springsteen, Kendrick Lamar, Prince, Beyoncé, The Beatles, Jay-Z, John Mayer, The National, Michael Jackson, Foo Fighters, and A Tribe Called Quest. The pattern that emerges is hard to ignore: at album six, craft meets courage, and the results can be seismic.We start with contrasts—Radiohead's brooding There, There and the stark intimacy of Springsteen's Nebraska—spotlighting how restraint can be as bold as maximalism. Kendrick's TV Off punches at the attention economy while delivering meme-worthy flair; Prince's Purple Rain towers as a career-defining epic that still feels alive. We trace personal and cultural stakes in Beyoncé's Formation, then pivot to The Beatles' Michelle to show how Rubber Soul reshaped their sound with subtle, melodic confidence.The timeline gets playful when Jay-Z's '03 Bonnie & Clyde foreshadows what Lemonade would later complicate. We celebrate narrative craft in John Mayer's Walt Grace, sit with The National's vulnerable “45%er” admission, and marvel at Thriller's near-greatest-hits density anchored by Billie Jean. Foo Fighters' The Pretender turns sixth-album freedom into kinetic fuel, and A Tribe Called Quest's We the People closes with legacy, politics, and gratitude—proof that a final statement can still move the culture forward.https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/sam-2026-6th-album-mix/pl.u-1LX0auZaGX7V1.

For this episode, Trevor and Shane are joined by acclaimed writer James Campion, author of Revolution: Prince, the Band, the Era, whose deep well of knowledge on Prince proves invaluable as he selects Around the World in a Day for a full track-by-track dive. Coming on the heels of Purple Rain, this album represents one of the boldest pivots in Prince's career and an intentional left turn away from blockbuster expectations and toward psychedelic color, whimsy, and artistic autonomy. With Campion as guide, the conversation explores how Around the World in a Day functions not as a retreat, but as a statement: Prince asserting that commercial dominance would never come at the expense of curiosity. Trevor and Shane unpack the album's playful textures, spiritual undercurrents, and surprising emotional weight, while Campion contextualizes each song within Prince's broader mythology, creative restlessness, and refusal to be pinned down. More than a reaction to fame, this record emerges as a crucial hinge point in Prince's discography bridging eras, expanding his sonic palette, and reminding listeners that unpredictability was always the point. Anchored by Campion's mastery and passion, this episode celebrates Around the World in a Day not as an odd detour, but as a fearless declaration from an artist determined to stay ahead of himself.   check out James Campion's patreon “Profunde Musique” so you don't miss out on anything James puts out next: https://www.patreon.com/cw/ProfondeMusique _______________________________________________________________________________ HOW TO CONNECT WITH ALBUM DIVERS: *You can submit your questions or comments about this episode or anything else on your mind here via our text line at: (502) 792-8080 *Leave us an audio message here: https://www.speakpipe.com/AlbumDivers We promise to respond and may even feature your thoughts on a future episode.  *Follow us on Facebook and Instagram at Album Divers *Email us at Albumdiverspodcast@gmail.com *Please subscribe and review wherever you get your podcasts!

Prince's Sign O' the Times is one of our most requested albums at You'll Hear It. But, there is a certain window of millennial that doesn't really "get" Prince. If that's you, this episode is your on ramp into his music. We start with Prince's earliest albums, tracing his incredible run from 1978 through to 1986. By the time we hit 1987 (around the time our dear mid-millennials were born), you can hear exactly why Sign O' the Times has become so beloved by critics and music-lovers alike.If you're already a Prince fan (like us!), get comfy. Put on your purple rain coat. We talk through the influences we hear all over this music: James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Parliament, Earth, Wind & Fire. We share our apex moments from Sign O' the Times.

REMEMBERING JELLYBEAN JOHNSON (Morris Day and The Time drummer)1956 - 2025with Prologue by Zapp Band drummer LESTER TROUTMAN, SR. and RICK FLYNNThis is a very special edition of the podcast RICK FLYNN PRESENTS as we celebrate the homegoing of one of the "Good Guys in Show Business," to say the very least,JELLYBEAN JOHNSON.As the drummer for THE TIME, Johnson worked alongside famed producers ⁠ Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis⁠ and recorded with and/or produced many notable artists including ⁠ Alexander O'Neal⁠, ⁠Cherrelle⁠, ⁠New Edition⁠, and ⁠Janet Jackson⁠, with whom he had the 1990 No. 1 single, "Black Cat".Jellybean appeared in the PRINCE movies “Purple Rain” and Graffiti Bridge"Quote From Cincinnati DJ/Emcee RICK FLYNN on 11/25/2025:“I first met Jellybean Johnson in Cincinnati, Ohio during the PRINCE “Controversy Tour” in which I was an emcee. This tour featured the headliner PRINCE and, in the middle slot, was a Greater Cincinnati area band called “ZAPP FEATURING ROGER” and the then, largely unknown local Minneapolis band, known as MORRIS DAY and THE TIME which featured Jellybean Johnson on the drums. I was instantly impressed by the raw talent and showmanship of, not only Jellybean, but of the whole organization. This man was someone I was fortunate to have met and I have never forgotten the experience ever! The resulting popularity and huge success of THE TIME band to follow did not surprise me at all. They deserved it and I will forever miss “Bean” but I will never, ever forget the times I spent with him.” Thank-you MARTY for all you have done and my God bless you both!Thank-you to my brother and ZAPP BAND drummer LESTER TROUTMAN, SR. for your gracious contribution to this memorial show. i hope you all enjoy it as we proudly remember and pay tribute to what I call "One of the Good Guys in Show Business"JELLYBEAN JOHNSON!

Are you ready to dive deep into the archives of rock 'n' roll history with me? On this week's episode of The Struts Life, I'm bringing back the fan-favorite WAPS for a no-holds-barred dissection of the fifty—yes, fifty!—bands that have dared to open for The Struts over the last decade. We aren't just reading a list; we are decoding the secret formula of what actually makes a killer opening act capable of matching Luke Spiller's electric energy, and dropping some seriously hot takes on who brought the thunder and who just brought the noise. From the chaotic genius of Starcrawler to the infectious vibes of Des Rocs, and a few controversial opinions that might just divide the Strutters community (we're looking at you, Purple Rain haters), we are covering it all. Plus, we're placing our bets on the absolute dream lineup for a hypothetical 2026 tour—did your favorite underground band make our cut, or did we leave them in the dust?

Purple Rain is a call back to our royal identity in Christ. We are not common. We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a people marked by the blood of Jesus and called to carry both authority and access. This sermon awakens the revival of royal generosity: living saturated in the presence of God, speaking with Kingdom authority, and stewarding resources for the glory of God and the healing of nations.Through Scripture, story, and prophetic call, Purple Rain invites us to step into who we truly are: Rain Men, Rain Makers, and Rain Harvesters. When the King reigns, the rain falls. Revival begins in the heart and pours out into households, cities, and generations.

In this episode of The Music in Me, I dive deep into the incredible world of Prince — an artist who didn't just make music, but created an entire universe of sound, style, and emotion. From his early days as a young prodigy in Minneapolis to his rise as one of the most iconic performers of all time, Prince was never afraid to be different. He taught us that standing out is something to celebrate, not hide. I'll talk about how songs like “Let's Go Crazy,” “When Doves Cry,” and “Purple Rain” shaped not just the music world, but pop culture itself. I'll share what these songs mean to me personally — how their energy, passion, and message of individuality have always inspired me to be myself, no matter what. Prince wasn't just a singer or a musician; he was a movement. He broke barriers, redefined genres, and left behind a legacy that still shines as bright as ever. So, join me as I celebrate the life, the music, and the magic of a true original — the one and only Prince.ALBUMS MENTIONED...For YouDirty MindControversy1999Purple RainSign o' the TimesDiamonds and PearlsMusicologySONGS MENTIONED..."Purple Rain""When Doves Cry""Let's Go Crazy"What did you think of this episode?

Taste Ireland…more specifically, taste the Hidden Heartlands of the Irish Midlands through a completely original cuisine designed around the fresh local produce from surrounding farms, on offer at Athlone's Michelin Bib Gourmand culinary destination, Thyme Restaurant.Chef John Coffey conjures up his ever-evolving menu around the vegetables local organic farmer Shannon is pulling or plucking from her nearby farm that day.Local flavors, regional aromas, beautifully presented courses all plated by the Chef/Owner himself, the lively chatter of diners sitting down to what they know will be a memorable meal, the warm welcome and flawless service from the staff and the understated, unstuffy, intimate surroundings combined to provide a multisensory sendoff to Irish Stew's “Off the Beaten Craic" series, the audio chronicle of podcast hosts John Lee and Martin Nutty's eight-day ramble through Ireland's Hidden Heartlands, starting in Athlone, the geographic heart of Ireland astride the River Shannon's “brightly glancing stream.”Chef Coffey relates how he opened Thyme in November 2007, just months before the financial crisis devastated Ireland's economy, surviving days with no customers, weeks of no salary, and months of operating with a skeleton crew. Maybe it was his unwavering commitment to hyperlocal sourcing that pulled him through. The menu changes constantly depending on seasonal availability of local produce—plums for three weeks, game in autumn, heritage potatoes in varieties like Purple Rain that supermarkets abandoned decades ago. Coffey's outlook is based on community interdependence, where farmers, butchers, and their families create a self-sustaining economic ecosystem.Don't look for Reality TV chaos in the kitchen, as Coffey creates an aura of focused calm in his domain, even when diners fill all of Thyme's 56 seats.On the podcast, Chef Coffey explains why he's rejected expansion opportunities, so you'll have to get to Athlone to sample his ballotine of quail with yuko leaf and heritage potatoes or anything else he creates.So, lend an ear to Irish Stew as it begins its Midlands meanderings with a celebration of Ireland's culinary transformation and the growing appreciation for slower-paced, ingredient-focused Irish dining experiences that await in the Hidden Heartlands.Go raibh an bia blasta! LINKSThyme RestaurantWebsiteInstagramFacebookShannon's Eco FarmInstagramHidden Heartlands Travel ResourcesIreland.comDiscover Ireland's Hidden HeartlandsIrish Stew Social MediaInstagramLinkedInXFacebookTikTokEpisode Details: Season 7, Episode 30; Total Episode Count: 133

Jason is joined in studio by former Prince Music Advisers and bandmates Bobby Z and Morris Hayes as they discuss what it means to see the music take shape, what was conversation like with the creators, providing a window for new generations to experience Prince, why Minneaspolos is the perfect place to launch Purple Rain and more.

Send us a textA pop-up asked for a photo just to watch a video, and that's where everything exploded. Arizona's new age-verification rules for adult sites triggered a cascade of roadblocks, workarounds, and big questions about privacy, identity, and who deserves our data. We swap stories about phones that blur content, fire sticks that sneak through, and platforms demanding ID photos or credit cards. The vibe is funny and chaotic, but the stakes are real: how do adults prove they're adults without handing a stranger the keys to their identity?From there, we zoom out. AI deepfakes get a hard look—not just for NSFW use, but for fake trailers, synthetic music, and the way impersonation can wreck trust at scale. If verification is here to stay, what's the least invasive way to do it? Could anonymous age tokens or privacy-preserving third parties help? We don't claim to solve it, but we put the right questions on the table: minimize data, verify only what's necessary, and demand transparency from any vendor that wants your face or card.We balance the heavy with the nostalgic: classic movie anniversaries like The Last Dragon and Purple Rain, a debate on sequels versus standalones, and a run through action staples—from Blade to Jason Statham's best. Then it's wrestling time, connecting the old territory days and masked legends to today's micro wrestling spectacle. Across it all, the theme is clear: people want authentic fun without jumping through endless digital hoops, and they want to protect their privacy while they're at it.Hit play for a lively roundtable that blends tech policy, culture, and comedy—plus a few ridiculous detours that'll make your day. If this episode sparked thoughts or helped you see the verification debate in a new light, share it with a friend, leave a quick review, and subscribe so you never miss the next curveball.Thanks for listening to the Nobody's Talking Podcast.

Putting the 'X' in eXtra, this latest BONUS TRAX following the pod-proper edition of SURFACE NOISE is one for the books! The dais discusses some disagreement in the Vinyl Community over the recent Because Sound Matters edition of Prince's classic "Purple Rain", and how important it can be to disagree with kindness. And we learn a new term for our vinyl thesaurus: "seasoned audiophile".  The guys put some attention on some deals and steals and ask the question: is it officially markdown season? The show closes with some cd buy-up strategy talk and a pointed discussion on whether regular sellers at record shows should be charging the same prices as brick and mortar record stores.  Is Discogs the villain in all this? Possibly.
