Today on the LaunchLeft Podcast, Rain Phoenix engages in a rich dialogue with renowned music producer and composer, Tony Visconti. Tony reflects on his early influences, including his high school music teacher and his family's musical background. He shares fascinating stories about his collaborations with David Bowie and Brian Eno, highlighting the innovative techniques used in producing albums like Heroes and Low. The episode also explores Tony's work with T. Rex and Paul McCartney, offering listeners a glimpse into the unique creative processes behind some of rock music's most iconic records. Then, Tony launches Daisy the Great. Mina and Kelly, the voices behind the raw and playful album Spectacle: Daisy the Great vs. Tony Visconti give us a glimpse into their creative process and co-writing with Toni Visconti. The conversation is both nostalgic and insightful, providing a deep dive into the world of music production. -----------------  LAUNCHLEFT OFFICIAL WEBSITEhttps://www.launchleft.com  LAUNCHLEFT PATREON https://www.patreon.com/LaunchLeft  TWITTER https://twitter.com/LaunchLeft  INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/launchleft/  FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/LaunchLeft  --------------------- IN THIS EPISODE:  [1:57] Tony discusses his unique and creative work with David Bowie and how they captured the unique vocal sound in the album Heroes [14:28] Tony reflects on how his high school music teacher, Dr. Israel Silberman, inspired him and helped build his foundation for music theory and love for music composition [20:00] Tony discusses the musical talent in his family, then how music found him [27:15] Tony reflects on his collaborations with David Bowie and Brian Eno [37:03] How Tony ended up composing for Paul McCarney [43:29] Meet Mina and Kelly, the voices behind Daisy the Great, and hear how their latest EP Spectacle: Daisy the Great vs. Tony Visconti came to be and a discussion about collaborating with Tony. KEY TAKEAWAYS:  From a young age, Toni studied the master sheet music of classical artists like Mozart and Beethoven, learning each instrument’s part, then figuring out how they came together. This is how his passion for producing music was sparked and led him to dive straight into the music industry after high school Tony, David Bowie, and Brian Eno worked so well together and each brought their own innovative skill sets and creative energy into the studio. Together, they created some of rock music's most iconic records. Even so, each artist would still create their own work or have other collaborations in progress, which was ideal, because it kept them from growing stagnant as artists. They were constantly learning and trying new techniques or experimenting with equipment, which they would bring into their next album together After decades creating music with icons, Tony is still passionate about learning from and collaborating with artists. For instance, while working with Mina and Kelly, his co-writing experience was something that he had never experienced before.  RESOURCE LINKS:  LaunchLeft Podcast Smart Link Daisy the Great Links: Daisy The Great - Website Spectacle: Daisy the Great vs. Tony Visconti Daisy the Great - Instagram Daisy the Great - TikTok Daisy the Great - YouTube Spectacle: Daisy the Great vs. Tony Visconti is the most expansive release from Daisy the Great yet.

Happy Monday, Fabulous Listener! Hope you are all doing amazing on this fabulous Monday. We are excited you have joined us during the 2024 season. We are getting ready to wrap up and are so grateful for your support. This evening, we have an amazing guest, the fabulous Mr. Jeff Giles, sharing his latest book, Langley Powell and the Society for the Defense of the Mundane. An experienced culture writer and editor who's been featured in a long list of publications including Paste Magazine, the Village Voice, American Songwriter, Ultimate Classic Rock, and Rotten Tomatoes, Jeff Giles makes his debut as a novelist with Langley Powell and the Society for the Defense of the Mundane. Although it's his first novel, Langley Powell is Jeff's third book, following Llanview in the Afternoon: An Oral History of One Life to Live, and Uncle John's Beer-Topia: A Heady Brew of Beer Miscellany. He can also be heard regularly as the co-host of the long-running Record Player podcast with Matt Wardlaw. When Jeff isn't working on his next project, he's probably either running off yesterday's calories or playing guitar (badly). Jeff lives in New Hampshire with his wife, two children, and a pair of dogs. For even more of his writing, subscribe to his Jefitoblog newsletter or follow him on Twitter. You can also find him on his site at https://langleypowell.com. Thank you for joining us this evening. Always a pleasure bringing you new books from incredible authors. Make sure to stay for next week's last episodes of the season. Happy Listening, DC

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Jeff Giles, author of the book Langley Powell and the Society for the Defense of the Mundane. An experienced culture writer and editor who's been featured in a long list of publications including Paste Magazine, the Village Voice, American Songwriter, Ultimate Classic Rock, and Rotten Tomatoes, Jeff makes his debut as a novelist with Langley Powell and the Society for the Defense of the Mundane. Although it's his first novel, Langley Powell is Jeff's third book, following Llanview in the Afternoon: An Oral History of One Life to Live and Uncle John's Beer-Topia: A Heady Brew of Beer Miscellany. He can also be heard regularly as the co-host of the long-running Record Player podcast with Matt Wardlaw. When Jeff isn't working on his next project, he's probably either running off yesterday's calories or playing guitar (badly). Jeff lives in New Hampshire with his wife, two children, and a pair of dogs. In my book review, I stated Langley Powell and the Society for the Defense of the Mundane is a humorous fantasy - another combination I had never read but truly enjoyed. It was sort of Harry Potter "esque" with far more tongue-in-cheek references and great bits of history trivia thrown in. The story starts with Langley's death - he is crushed by a falling piano. Langley spent his entire life debunking the idea of ghosts, magic, and anything you couldn't see with your own eyes or prove with science. However, when he becomes a ghost, he realizes he's been wrong. Before he can wrap his mind around his error, he finds himself on a quest to save mankind by finding his childhood hero - the magician who failed and thrust Langley toward his lifelong obsession of proving magic doesn't exist. This dual timeline story moves quickly, has great characters, and lots of laughs. However, it also causes the reader to think about what is important in life and what holds the universe together. I highly recommend this book.

Send us a textThis is almost a "lost episode" of sorts. To pull the curtain back a bit, we recorded this episode back in July and then promptly got busy with a bunch of other things. So if you hear a mention or two that sound a bit dated, there ya go. What remains is a fun discussion that we had regarding Robert Wyatt's 1974 album Rock Bottom. We examine where Robert was career-wise in 1974 as he was continuing to evolve his solo work following his time with Soft Machine and subsequently, Matching Mole. Fellow prog aficionados and those who like a good, weird album, just generally, this one's for you.P.S. As we get into the fall, we've got a bunch of fresh episodes ready to roll and you'll be hearing them here in the coming weeks!

Part supernatural comedy, part mystery, and part history, with throughlines of philosophy, pathos, and wackiness, it concerns the afterlife adventures of the world's most reknowned skeptic and debunker, who finds himself on a spiritual plane tasked with preventing a dark force from undoing all of existence. Along the way, Langley meets Albert Einstein, Tom Petty, a goofy president, a surly toddler, and his childhood hero / disgraced magician.   This is the first novel by Jeff Giles, a pop culture writer whose work has appeared on Paste, Rotten Tomatoes, Ultimate Classic Rock, and Popdose.

Send us a Text Message.In 1984, Christopher Cross added a unique new entry to his discography. "A Chance For Heaven" was selected as the official swimming theme for the Olympics. I bet you didn't even know there was an official swimming theme that year, did you? Neither did we. Discovering that factoid during our episode about Christopher's 1985 album, Every Turn of the World, was enough to send us out on an important quest.What if we were to discuss the Olympics soundtrack albums for 1984, 1988 and 1992? That's the task that Jeff and Matt decided to tackle on today's episode of The Record Player. It's not an easy one, because none of the three volumes are on streaming. Which means, YouTube to the rescue!Here's streaming links for all three volumes:The Official Music Of The XXIIIrd Olympiad Los Angeles 19841988 Summer Olympics Album: One Moment in TimeBarcelona Gold (1992) - note that a few songs are not streaming officially, but 12 songs are. You'll get the point. But here's the complete rundown.This is a wide-ranging discussion that explores the bulk of the first two compilations track-by-track with scattered thoughts on Barcelona Gold, because we  were at the clock limit and honestly, the tone of the song curation changed with Barcelona Gold in a way that felt less specific to the Olympics. But where else are you going to find En Vogue and Damn Yankees back to back on the same album? That's a really good question.There are references along the way to the Ghostbusters soundtrack, the We Are the World album and a bunch of other things -- including the most excellent Little Feat-related tribute album from the '90s, Rock & Roll Doctor: A Tribute to Lowell George. Streaming the Lowell tribute appears to be a bit of a chore -- it's on Apple Music at the very least, but finding it on Spotify was an elusive task.Anyway, we talk about some things and you've got some fresh listening material to enjoy now as well. Thanks as always for listening and don't forget to visit Jefitoblog for even more thoughts from Jeff. Have a good weekend!Support the Show.

Send us a Text Message.It's time for the first solo Jeff and Matt episode in a good while! Today, the guys team up to look back at Every Turn of the World, the third album by Christopher Cross. They dig through a number of topics including the album's relative lack of success, how Jeff found it -- and why he loved it so much at the time.We also discuss Jeff's forthcoming debut novel, Langley Powell and the Society for the Defense of the Mundane, which is set for a July release. Jeff gives fans of The Record Player an inside look at what they can expect from the book -- and how it came to be! Along the way, we discuss Mike Seaver and Boner, Matt Sledge and why Cleveland is a big deal and numerous other topics too boring to detail here. We're kidding about that last part, probably.OH....and if you see that link at the top of this episode description, you'll be aware that we can now receive fan mail -- which we will likely discuss on the podcast. We dig into an especially crazy submission that came in recently from an "anonymous caller."Thanks for listening and don't forget to find more words from Jeff at the coolest destination in the nation, Jefitoblog.Support the Show.

My Record Player's Music by Mackenzie by 826 Valencia

Emmy-nominated songwriter Ben Arthur released his third album, Edible Darling, in 2004. A longtime friend of the podcast (long before there was a podcast, in fact), Ben joins Jeff and Matt to look back on the album in its 20th anniversary year. He recaps his rollercoaster experience navigating the music industry in those early years and how it ultimately influenced where he's gone with his life's work since then.To date, Ben has released 10 albums and an ongoing series of singles, with his most recent song release being "Bless Your Heart" earlier this year. He is the creator and host of SongWriter, a podcast that turns stories into songs. SongWriter is launching its sixth season and has featured guests/collaborators that include  Questlove, Joyce Carol Oates, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd,  Susan Orlean, Neil Gaiman, George Saunders, Katie Melua, David Sedaris, and Steve Earle.Our thanks to Ben for hanging out with us. We had a blast looking back at one of our favorite albums and learning more about what was going on at the time.If you're new to The Record Player, check out our extensive archive of past episodes wherever you get your podcasts!

UCR's Allison Rapp is back with Jeff and Matt for another episode of The 1974 Project. This time, they're talking about On the Border by Eagles and digging into a bunch of related (and yeah, sometimes, unrelated topics). For instance, why do so many people hate the Eagles? Why do people get worked up about calling them "the Eagles" instead of "Eagles" when the band is discussed.What was it like covering the recent trial regarding the allegedly stolen Hotel California lyrics and being in the presence of Don Henley? Allison shares details about that experience. For those of you who take a drink every single time that Jeff says, "It's fine," you're in luck once again this episode.Because this is The Record Player, there are also stray references to Michael McDonald and Chicago. P.S. Make sure that you read Michael's upcoming memoir, because it rules.Our thanks to Allison as always for joining us.

We couldn't miss out on the chance to post a new episode of The Record Player on a rare Leap Day!As one of our comrades said very recently, "Happy Leap Year, to all who celebrate!"We're back with the latest installment in The 1974 Project, our ongoing collaboration with Ultimate Classic Rock spotlighting a variety of albums that were released, as you might have guessed, in 1974.UCR's Nick DeRiso joins Jeff and Matt to discuss What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits by the Doobie Brothers. The wide-ranging conversation touches on a number of topics including a Doobies song that was once compared to both Chicago and Eagles, bands with two drummers, the Doobie Liner and five-time Grammy Award winner Michael McDonald.There's more, but those are the dubious highlights of our discussion. Nick also shares details regarding Journey: Worlds Apart, his new best-selling book about Journey and its many eras and side projects. Our thanks to Nick for taking the time!

Katherine Yeske Taylor is our guest today on The Record Player and boy, this conversation was an absolute joy. We discuss her new book, She's a Badass: Women in Rock Shaping Feminism, which is coming out on January 16, but we also dig deep into a bunch of different topics.Katherine is a fellow music journalist who began her career as a rock critic in Atlanta in the 1990s, interviewing Georgia musical royalty such as the Indigo Girls, R.E.M., and the Black Crowes while still a teenager. Since then, she has conducted several hundred interviews and contributes regularly to Billboard, Spin, and American Songwriter, among others. She is a longtime New York City resident and is extremely active in the downtown rock scene.We talk a good amount of journalism shop -- including the many things and particulars that go into the craft of interviewing. Katherine also shares a lot of good Athens stories and tales of how music can intersect with life in some pretty cosmic ways.R.E.M.'s Automatic for the People weaves in and out of the discussion -- with some choice memories filtering through the songs and moments. If this episode doesn't make you want to visit Athens, you probably should think about visiting Athens.If there's any justice, Katherine's book will become a valuable resource  -- both now and in the coming years -- for anyone who wants to know the often difficult path that women in rock have traveled as part of the ongoing fight for gender equality.  Our thanks to Katherine for an inspirational, illuminating and entertaining discussion. We'll look forward to the next round!

Guitarist Mike Connell of the Connells is our guest on the latest installment of The Record Player.  The North Carolina band has had a busy few years, including the long awaited arrival of a new studio album, 2021's Steadman's Wake. Their entire back catalog went digital, including a few things that had been out of print. Here in 2023, they released their first-ever official live album called Set the Stage.This summer, their 1993 album Ring was expanded to a double disc in honor of its 30th anniversary, adding a full bonus disc of previously unreleased tracks.Mike joins us to discuss all of the above and also shares his thoughts and memories regarding The Kinks and their seminal compilation, The Kinks Kronicles.As a bonus (depending on your point of view), Jeff and Matt dig into a chunk of random items in the podcast intro, a throwback of sorts to their sorely missed Cassingle entries. So for those of you who were hoping we'd discuss a bunch of random stuff? It's your lucky day!Our thanks to Mike for joining us and sharing some great stories about the band's history.

Jeff and Matt are alone in the studio this week to discuss Michael Bolton's big breakout album, 1989's Soul Provider. They review the history which led up to this record (including "Fools Game," which could be one of the best Bolton songs you've never heard) and dig into some of the stories and Michael's own musings from the time period. Is this the smoothest episode of the Record Player that you'll hear in 2023?

Our buddy Rob Smith likes to talk about albums that are "the one after the big one" and Lucinda Williams' 2001 album Essence is in that category. Both Jeff and Matt enjoyed diving into the record for the first time -- with special guest Mya Byrne.If you're not familiar with Mya's music, you should be! Playing Americana steeped with potent branches of blues, rock, glam and country music, Byrne is every bit the voice of the outsider that built the foundation of the genre, where we behold stages beaming with the light of those who are so willing to stand tall and confident in the entirety of their truth. Here Byrne stands too. Americana has many champions, but there are scarce few like Byrne; a queer trans woman creating ripples that will find themselves born again and again as waves.On Rhinestone Tomboy, Mya's newest album, we are treated to a portrait painted with shades of Byrne's youth, one spent listening to stacks of her mama's dusty 45s, and thrift store 8-tracks blasting from blown speakers out the window of an old Chevy. Songs that opened the trailhead to a lifelong journey that informed Byrne's musical landscape.Find all of the latest episodes of The Record Player wherever you get your podcasts -- and if you enjoy what we do here, we invite you to join our Patreon and become a member of the Record Club.

Gilbert O'Sullivan has had an amazing career with 16 Top 40 hits and six of them that went to number one. While some artists would be content to coast on those stats, Gilbert keeps rolling. His latest album, Driven, featuring collaborations with Simply Red's Mick Hucknall and others, arrived in 2022. On the heels of that release, he's heading back to the United States for his first tour here in ages. The tour launches on Saturday, 3/11 in Boston and will run through the month of March, wrapping up in Nashville on 3/22.Gilbert also has a new collection featuring 67 tracks, a comprehensive overview of his career including material from Driven. Physical media lovers, you can get the three disc version here.

Visit his official website for tour dates and other information.

For our 75th episode, we've got the most significant interruption by Jeff's dogs to date. They'll have to work hard to top this one. But we're here to discuss a number of topics, including Roomful of Blues' 1997 album Under One Roof. For more than 50 years, Roomful of Blues have been delivering their unique blend of music to the masses -- and that's something that we explore: what is it that makes them unique in the crowded field of blues bands? We've got that answer for you. Matt also details a recent music transaction that didn't go exactly as planned and we dig into a bunch of other subjects beyond that -- including laserdiscs!For more Record Player fun, check out our Patreon or bother us on Twitter. We love a good musical discussion! Thank you very much for listening.

Blue Rodeo recently played a great evening of deeper cuts from their history at the Songs Seldom Heard performance at Massey Hall in Toronto. As Matt watched the events (virtually) unfold, it brought him back to a conversation he'd had with the band's Jim Cuddy in late November of 2021. The pair discussed Many a Mile, the latest album from Blue Rodeo, which was released that December.Whether you're a longtime fan or this is the first time you're hearing about Blue Rodeo, we think you'll enjoy this conversation with Jim. The chat covers a lot of ground, including some great memories of the late Gord Downie of Tragically Hip.Stay tuned for more from The Record Player and thanks for listening!

Libby Cudmore was our first guest on The Record Player. Sort of.Here's the thing -- as we were batting around the ideas for the podcast which became this one, we made up a spreadsheet and started writing down albums that we wanted to discuss. Then we began to think about people who would be fun to discuss those albums with.We reached out to Libby in November of 2021 and quickly had her committed to discuss a particular album. Flash forward more than a year and we're here to discuss a completely different album with Libby.It was such a thrill to discuss Zoot Suit Riot: The Swingin' Hits of the Cherry Poppin' Daddies with Libby and she came armed and ready times one thousand. She made us a playlist, Consider the Daddies, which we are linking here for your listening pleasure. It was everything, as your ears will reveal to you after you're finished listening.Quick disclaimer: We just kind of logged in and all started talking. A proper intro of Libby arrives about 10 minutes or so into our discussion. If you can imagine that you walked into a local establishment and we were already there deep in conversation, that's kind how this one unfolded.However you think you feel about the Daddies right now, leave those feelings at the door. Listen to Libby's playlist, listen to this episode and get yourself a new favorite band.As far as today's episode, we dig through a lot of topics -- including how Libby's own writing was inspired by the Daddies. We had a blast and look forward to our next round with Team Cudmore. Thanks as always for listening!By the way, if you enjoy these episodes, how 'bout checking out our Patreon?
