Join Cult of the Living Dead as we plunge headfirst into cosmic nihilism, nerd fantasy, and rotoscope spectacle in Heavy Metal (1981). In this episode, The Dale, Cea, and Twan unpack the film's cult reputation, tracing the corrupting journey of the glowing green evil known as Loc-Nar as it threads together a chain of brutal, sex-charged, and apocalyptic tales across time and space, from doomed astronauts and warrior women to undead bombers. We explore how Heavy Metal collides science fiction, sword-and-sorcery, horror, and rock-and-roll excess into a delirious animated assault on morality, power, and desire. More than four decades later, it endures as one of the most abrasive and confrontational cult animation landmarks of the early 1980s.

Cousin Brucie interviews Merrilee Rush. The conversation serves as a Valentine's Day tribute, transitioning from nostalgic stories about her musical evolution—from a classically trained pianist to a rock and roll performer—to a vulnerable discussion regarding her recent health struggles involving brain surgery. A lighthearted highlight of the exchange explores the joy and authenticity found in her accidental, laughter-filled phone greeting, which the host views as a testament to her resilient spirit.

Limberlost Release New Single "Give it to Me(Redux)"New EP Villian Due Out Later This Year! Interview with Limberlost. Steve Unger is in the band. He is formerly of metal Church and AutographExplosive. Fierce. Unapologetic. Limberlost kicks off 2026 with a re-imagined version of their 2023 only released in Europe, fan-favorite anthem "Give it to Me", transforming it into a modern rock powerhouse that hits harder than ever. Reborn from its original roots, this version fuses high-energy guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and powerhouse vocals that redefine the band's signature sound. “Give It to Me (Redux)” is a declaration of strength, passion, and pure rock 'n' roll adrenaline — a sonic punch that dares listeners to take back their Power and Claim what's theirs. With production that's both cinematic and raw, it bridges classic rock intensity with a cutting-edge alternative edge, appealing to fans of Halestorm, Evanescence, Linkin Park, and The Pretty Reckless.Lyrically, the song captures the hunger for authenticity and emotional connection in a world of noise and distraction — a cry for something real and uncompromising. Backed by their acclaimed new album Beautiful Scars, three SMR Top 50 singles, and 2 award winning videos with over a million views each, Limberlost proves once again that their fire only burns hotter with time.Turn it up, feel the pulse, and demand it all — this is “Give It to Me” like you've never heard it before.Limberlost is a powerhouse American rock band delivering a bold fusion of modern and classic rock with soaring vocals, electrifying guitar riffs, and thunderous rhythms.

Their songs capture themes of strength, resilience, and empowerment, making them a force in the rock scene. With a commanding stage presence and dynamic compositions, Limberlost is redefining female-fronted rock, bringing authenticity, passion, and rock authority to audiences worldwide. Limberlost's rise is backed by Paul Crosby Management, led by Paul Crosby, drummer of the multi-platinum rock band Saliva.

Leads Brittany Lauren and Sammie Gorham both classically trained and accomplished opera singers that bring their beauty, power and precision to cut through rock's sometimes predictable expectations.Adding to their momentum is the recent addition of Metal Hall of Fame bass player Steve Unger, known for his work with legendary bands Metal Church and Autograph. His veteran stage presence and technical prowess bring a new depth to Limberlost's already dynamic sound, elevating their live performances and recording capabilities to the next level.If that's not enough the addition of Steve's son Devon Unger on Lead Guitar.

Paul Rees' Raised on Radio: Power Ballads, Cocaine and Payola - the AOR Glory Years 1976-1986 (De Capo, 2026) is a massively entertaining oral biography of the golden era of critically derided yet monumentally popular radio rock, when Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon, Toto, and more ruled the airwaves Paul Rees' Raised on Radio is, remarkably, the first biography of the (at the time) critically derided and yet massively popular AOR (album-oriented rock) bands whose heyday was 1976-1986, when groups like Journey, Boston, Foreigner, Toto, and REO Speedwagon sold many millions of albums, toured stadiums, and whose songs continue to stream in record numbers. Many of them still tour. And sure, they were punching bags for the elitist rock critics more interested in covering punk and new wave, terminally uncool, and never fashionably cutting edge, but their music was, and is, the soundtrack to so many people's lives. Who among music fans (of a certain age) didn't pump their fist to "Don't Stop Believin'" (long before The Sopranos), play air guitar to "More Than a Feeling," bellow along with Toto's "Africa," or have their heart broken to the strains of "Can't Fight This Feeling"? Even better: their tour stories and the tales of making the music are as entertaining and eye-opening as any of the antics from the annals of rock and roll history. Cocaine use was rampant, intra-band fighting was par for the course, and for better or worse, the groups' members lived life to excess. In so many ways, it was these artists' music (they are responsible for the power ballad) and lifestyles that led directly to the soon-to-follow hair metal scene. And in spite of what the critical establishment wrote, it turns out the music has aged . . . rather well! Raised on Radio is a stadium-sized, massively entertaining oral history in the bestselling tradition of Meet Me in the Bathroom, Nothin' But A Good Time, and Please Kill Me, capturing a time and a place that was as big and booming and as unabashed as the music that provided its soundtrack.

DON McLEAN MARKS THE 55TH ANNIVERSARY OF “AMERICAN PIE” AS THE SURF BALLROOM ANNOUNCES A 2027 LIFE SIZE BRONZE STATUE HONORING THE ICONIC SINGER SONGWRITERStatue will be installed at the legendary venue where Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson played their final showCLEAR LAKE, Ia. (February 3, 2026) — Fifty five years after its release, Don McLean's “American Pie” remains one of the most enduring anthems in American music — a sweeping, eight minute epic that captured a nation in transition and immortalized the phrase “the day the music died.” Today, as “American Pie” turns 55 (1971–2026), McLean is celebrating the milestone on tour while also helping propel a new chapter of preservation at the Surf Ballroom & Museum in Clear Lake, Iowa.The Surf Ballroom — the National Historic Landmark where Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson performed on February 2, 1959 as part of the Winter Dance Party tour — announced that a life size bronze statue honoring McLean will be erected on-site in 2027. The statue will stand as a permanent tribute to the songwriter whose work helped carry the story of that night into global cultural memory, bridging generations of listeners, historians and music fans.The new statue is inspired from an existing life size bronze portrait created by acclaimed sculptor Zenos Frudakis (Philadelphia). Originally completed in 1989, the portrait was featured on the cover of McLean's album ‘Classics'. Frudakis, an acclaimed portrait sculptor and lifelong friend of McLean, is known the world over for his statues of Muhammad Ali, Nina Simone, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and many more. He is creating an entirely new statue for public display at the Surf, adding a new landmark for visitors to the historic ballroom and its adjacent museum experiences. The announcement comes on February 3 on the heels of the 2026 Winter Dance Party at the Surf — the anniversary of the 1959 plane crash that claimed the lives of Holly, Valens and Richardson — a date forever intertwined with McLean's songwriting.“The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation is thrilled that one of our most iconic ambassadors is being honored with a statue at The Surf Ballroom, the site of Buddy Holly's final performance,” said Rick French, chairman of The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation and a national trustee of the famed Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “While American Pie was famously inspired by the plane crash that claimed the lives of Buddy, Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson on February 3, 1959 , it has stood for more than half a century as an anthem to the cultural shifts of our country and is as relevant today as it has ever been.”The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation (TBHEF) works to extend musical education — including songwriting, production, arranging, orchestration and performance — to new generations regardless of income or learning levels. The Foundation also supports emerging artists through mentoring and songwriting retreats, and its Ambassadors receive a replica of Buddy Holly's own Gibson J 45 to encourage new music in his memory.“To this day Don remains one of Maria Elena Holly's closest friends and she was overjoyed to learn a statue is being cast in his honor,” added Peter Bradley, Jr., vice chairman of The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation, who is working closely with McLean, his management team and Jeff Nichols at the Surf Ballroom to plan a blockbuster unveiling of the statue upon completion.First opened in 1933 (and rebuilt in 1948 after a fire), the Surf Ballroom continues to host concerts and special events year round and welcomes visitors to explore the site's museum offerings. In recent years, the Surf expanded its educational mission with new immersive experiences honoring the artists and cultural moments that shaped early rock 'n' roll — ensuring that the ‘Winter Dance Party' story is preserved not only as history, but as a living, visitable place.DON McLEAN 2026 TOUR DATES (SUBJECT TO CHANGE):Fri, Feb 06 — Lobero Theatre — Santa Barbara, Calif.Sat, Feb 07 — Saban Theatre — Beverly Hills, Calif.Fri, Mar 20 — Seminole Casino Hotel Immokalee — Immokalee, Fla.Sat, Mar 21 — Maxwell C.

Chapter 1: Pipeman interviews Welsh metalcore band Bless Your Dead.Rising from the ashes of When We Were Wolves, the band announce their arrival with the release of their debut single “Everyone's A Target” — a no-holds-barred statement of intent from a band reborn heavier, sharper and more focused than ever.They've just announced their debut show, performing at Noizzefest in Cardiff this April.The track is due for release on 5th February and is the first single from a wave of new music lined up for 2026. Bless Your Dead are poised to make a serious impact, returning with a sound that is heavier, more refined and more confrontational than ever before. Formerly known as When We Were Wolves, the four-piece metalcore outfit have spent the past year tearing everything down and rebuilding from the ground up. The result is Bless Your Dead: a band delivering heavy riffs, crushing breakdowns and anthemic choruses, driven by a renewed sense of purpose and aggression. The band features vocalist Mitch Bock, guitarists Jay Coatsworth and Jack Adams, and drummer Kristian Eirsland “After taking a year away to write and record, it became apparent that the material we were working on was something completely different to what we'd done before — and that's when Bless Your Dead was born,” explains vocalist Mitch Bock. “Everyone's A Target” serves as the first taste of what's to come. Though it was the final video shot from an upcoming run of three singles, the band felt it was the strongest introduction to their new sound. “Being a band that mixes heavy and melodic, we felt this track was the perfect place to start,” says Mitch. “It's got riffs, a big chorus and a breakdown — everything that represents us right now. ”Lyrically, the track channels raw frustration and defiance. “It's about reaching breaking point with forced loyalty and surface-level behavior, and finally snapping back."With a wave of new music lined up for 2026, Bless Your Dead are poised to make a serious impact, returning with a sound that is heavier, more refined and more confrontational than ever before. Chapter 2: Pipeman interviews horror/industrial metal band Horror Scene. Our music blends aggressive metal with horror storytelling, characters, and cinematic themes. We'd love to come on your podcast to talk horror influences, creating dark characters through music, and the intersection of horror films and metal.Welcome to Your HellHorror Scene emerged from the underground of Harrisburg, PA with one mission: to turn fear into music. Formed by a group of musicians obsessed with horror cinema, psychological thrillers, serial killers and the darker edges of industrial metal and rock, the band fuses theatrical storytelling with heavy, atmospheric soundscapes. Their songs explore themes of dread, hauntings, obsession, and the monsters—real or imagined—that live inside us all.On stage, Horror Scene transforms the venue into their own chilling universe. Fog, distorted visuals, blood-red lights, and immersive sound design create a multisensory experience that blurs the line between concert and horror film. Their electrifying live shows have earned them a fiercely loyal fanbase drawn to the adrenaline, the spectacle, and the catharsis. Touring the US with such acts like Soulfly has helped the band have a better understanding of how to adjust to a crowd to give them the best entrainment experience the band has to offer.Musically, Horror Scene pulls inspiration from industrial metal, gothic rock, modern metalcore, and classic horror film scores. The result is a sound that blends cinematic tension with explosive energy: pounding drums, razor-sharp guitars, haunting synths, and vocals that shift from melodic to monstrous. Working with Producer Daniel Malsch has helped the band develop their sound into something unique with a twist.Click Here to Subscribe to The Adventures of Pipeman for PERKS, BONUS Content & FREE GIVEWAYS! Pipeman in the Pit features all kinds of music and interviews with bands & music artists especially in the genres of Heavy Metal, Rock, Hard Rock, Classic Rock, Punk Rock, Goth, Industrial, Alternative, Thrash Metal & Indie Music.Pipeman in the Pit also features press coverage of events, concerts, & music festivals.

Classic rock and roll bands and artists releasing new music?  What's the point?  Is it worth a listen?  Do we discount some excellent rock from these bands just because it's not 1987? Or is it a shell of their sound and original fire? Def Leppard has a new song, in conjunction with a run at the Sphere in Las Vegas.  We take a first listen. Then we look at the past 12 months of rock and roll releases from bands like Alice Cooper, Styx, and others who are still making and releasing new music—an objective ear on the sound of what some bands are doing today. Let's check it out together.  No BS.  Just our ears and the vibe. What works and what doesn't?

Andy Biersack shares details about Black Veil Brides' next studio album, including diving deep into their latest track, "Certainty."

***Special thanks to KEEL Radio’s Erin McCarty and Mike Martindale; to Tony Taglavore (shreveportbossierjournal.com) for his excellent 2024 feature story about Larry Ryan, and to Twin Blends: Northwest Louisiana History Hunters’ Facebook page for a few photos in today’s story.  I had the pleasure of working as a part-time announcer for Larry Ryan nearly 50 years ago. During the early 1960’s, Larry Ryan may have heard the phrase “You’re fired!” more times than cartoon’s George Jetson did from his boss, Mr. Spacely. The young radio announcer had bounced around from one radio market to another in search of a few extra dollars per week. This 26-year old disk jockey was offered a $25/week raise to move to Shreveport, Louisiana and begin working the evening shift at Top 40 radio station KEEL 710AM in 1964. For more than 60 years, Shreveport, Bossier City and Ark-La-Tex region have embraced “Lovable” Larry Ryan and his immense radio creativity and talent. Last Friday, Ryan’s most recent Shreveport radio station employer (which played “The Greatest Hits of All Time” oldies format) abruptly advised him and his morning crew that their long-time popular morning show was being canceled. Effective immediately. The FM station was recently acquired by a new owner.  They wanted to go in a different direction with their 6-9AM morning show. Though it had been awhile, Larry Ryan was quite familiar with hearing that line again. Today, Larry Ryan’s first radio station employer in Shreveport brought him back on the air to provide him with a very dignified way to say, “Good bye” to his legions of loyal radio listeners. The final hour of Wednesday’s News/Talk 710 KEEL morning show featuring Erin McCarty and Mike Martindale was filled with tributes to the area’s radio broadcasting legend. Shreveport mayor Tom Arceneaux and Bossier City mayor Tommy Chandler each read proclamations making it “Larry Ryan Day” in both cities (February 11, 2026). How did Iowa native Larry Ryan become so beloved in Shreveport, LA? Larry Ryan is a native of Marshalltown, Iowa – just northeast of Des Moines.  After a one year stint at what is now Northern Iowa University, he joined the Air Force. If he thought it was cold in Iowa during the winter, Larry Ryan found himself stationed in frigid Minot, North Dakota.  That’s when he knew it was time to leave the Air Force and find a real job. He would become a radio announcer (DJ, if you prefer) who worked at stations in Iowa, Arkansas, Alabama, and Virginia prior to receiving an offer to work the evening shift at AM powerhouse KEEL Radio in Shreveport.  Larry reminded listeners today that he also brought along his long-time girlfriend, Suzy. They were married in Marshall, Texas upon his arrival in Shreveport.  More about Suzy Ryan in a bit. Larry Ryan’s evening show became a huge hit with the younger audience. He interacted with callers, had fun doing creative “live” spots for sponsors, and even created funny comedy song features such as “Hide The Booze” (performed to the instrumental version of “The Can-Can Song”). It wasn’t long before Larry Ryan was promoted to become KEEL’s morning show host. The 50,000 watt daytime signal of KEEL AM stretches from Texarkana to the north and southward through northeastern Texas and western and central Louisiana down I-49 to Lafayette. “Lovable” Larry Ryan’s morning show beginning in the mid-1960’s featured Top 40 rock and roll hits along with topics of local interest.  Talented radio newsmen like Ken Booth and Scott Hodges, syndicated commentator Paul Harvey, and a very unlikely local weatherman added more flavor to this increasingly popular show. This morning, Larry recounted that KEEL’s morning newsman Ken Booth did not like being asked to read the weather at the end of his local newscasts.  KEEL’s co-located FM affiliate KMBQ was playing automated reel-to-reel tapes of beautiful music.  Larry quickly grabbed the FM station’s young audio operator named Ralph Montgomery and said, “Get in here!  I want you to come read the weather on the air for me – now!” Ryan introduced his nervous and totally unprepared 6:05AM weather man to KEEL’s massive audience. “And now…the effervescent…Mr. Weather!”  Ralph Montgomery somehow made it through that first weather forecast and won a 50+year radio co-hosting role alongside of Larry Ryan. Mr. Weather’s unique sense of humor always seemed to tickle Larry’s funny bone. It was pure radio magic Larry Ryan & Mr. Weather became the foundation for KEEL’s incredible radio ratings success for the next decade.  KEEL’s morning show captured an unheard-of 50% of the total radio audience as both youngsters and their parents were fans of the show. Larry became KEEL’s program director and hired a number of extremely talented on-air personalities to work at other times of the day.  Howard Clark, Steve Kelly, Tommy Kramer, Ronald F. Montgomery (no relation to Ralph “Mr. Weather” Montgomery) and many others graduated to work at major market radio stations after being mentored by Larry Ryan at KEEL in Shreveport. Producing a top-notch commercial for clients is very important for radio stations. The creative voice and production talents of Larry Ryan and his team of announcers was in high demand for producing effective commercials on behalf of local, regional and national ad agencies. Larry’s wife, Suzy, became involved in selling radio advertising for KEEL.  She possessed a sincere belief in the effectiveness of the station’s primary product – especially her husband’s top-rated radio show.  Suzy remained laser-focused on business and supported Larry’s creative talent behind the microphone.  The duo’s business acumen translated into solid income for their soon-to-be growing family. After Suzy became pregnant with each of the couple’s two children (Corey and Casey), Larry frequently brought Suzy on the air to talk about how she had been feeling.  Their willingness to share such personal details over the air further endeared the couple to thousands of KEEL’s adult listeners. Larry Ryan played sports in high school and brought his love of sports to Shreveport Ryan formed the KEEL “Dirty Dribblers” basketball team and the KEEL “Nasty Nine” softball team.  The basketball team featured a few of the radio announcers but included legitimate sports talent such as former Northwestern State University basketball player-turned-media advertising specialist Al LeGrand.  The KEEL Dirty Dribblers and Nasty Nine softball teams played dozens of fund-raising games against the teachers and coaches at area schools. The goodwill resulting from those charity games served to reinforce the personal bond between the radio station’s listeners and “Lovable” Larry Ryan’s radio team. By 1974, the World Football League had started a new pro football league.  This came a few years after the American Football League had successfully merged with the NFL in 1970. The new WFL franchise located in Houston was already failing in Year #1. Larry Ryan took to the air expressing his firm belief that Shreveport and Bossier City (with about 350,000 residents) was quite capable of supporting the Houston WFL franchise – assuming it could be moved to Shreveport. Within weeks of Ryan’s daily on-air encouragement to local businesses and governmental leaders, the WFL’s Houston Texans (that was their name!) moved the franchise to Shreveport midway through the initial football season. The Shreveport Steamer of the World Football League was born.  A local crowd of more than 21,000 attended the Steamer’s first home game against Memphis in September, 1974.  Though Shreveport’s attendance remained solid, the WFL folded midway through its second season in 1975 under mounting financial pressures. Around this time, Larry and Suzy Ryan were offered a chance to buy another local radio station in Shreveport.  Unlike KEEL’s 50,000 watt signal, local station KBCL’s signal was just 250 watts and operated on a daytime-only frequency. The duo took the plunge anyway. They built a top-notch on-air and sales staff and pursued FCC approval to relocate the radio station onto a frequency with 24-hour capability.  Talented on-air personalities like Randy Davis (who enjoyed a long career in New York City), K.C. Daniels, Howard Jennings Hart, and Larry “Charlie” Monk joined the staff. Current FOX Sports football and basketball broadcaster Tim Brando also worked for Larry Ryan at KBCL prior to moving to a larger radio market and into his future television career. Though this under-powered AM radio station’s ratings were quite impressive, the inability to obtain a 24-hour operating frequency from the FCC, a declining local employment market, and the rise of FM competition forced the Ryans to return to their radio roots in the early 1980’s. Bringing it forward Larry Ryan would work for another 40 years (!) in the Shreveport area at various radio stations. He spent most of the past few decades playing 70’s and 80’s music formats for his faithful listeners. Ralph “Mr. Weather” Montgomery began a career in another field, but his employer allowed him to work early mornings with his long-time partner, too. Long-time friend and sales pro Al LeGrand stuck with Larry, too.  Al provided sports commentary for Ryan’s morning shows and enjoyed participating in some of the on-air hijinks until retiring several years ago. LeGrand built a very successful media advertising agency in Shreveport. Larry’s one-woman dynamo wife, Suzy Ryan, proudly formed her own media advertising agency.  She would (of course) provide sales support for Larry’s successful radio programs.  The Ryans’ two children would also enter the media business after completing their education. Sadly, Larry Ryan’s beloved wife and life partner, Suzy, passed away in 2013.  Larry has (at least until last Friday) continued to work his morning radio show for a local FM station. Interviewed two years ago, Larry Ryan (now in his 80’s) knew that his time behind the microphone would eventually come to an end. In that print interview in 2024, Larry Ryan said, “I’ve done good.  I’ve been nationally recognized, which really doesn’t mean that much other than ego.  That has never been part of my being.  I had fun!” And so have we!  Thank you for six decades of terrific memories, Lovable Larry!

“Recognize” is Original 8 (OG8) lead singer Jaime Lynch's personal mantra. And while she ends the new single, “W.O.M.A.N” with the phrase “I am woman, recognize…”, the meaning behind it goes way back to how Lynch and her bandmates have approached both the music business and life.Based in Portland, Ore., the driving force behind OG8 is founder and guitarist Troy Williver. Bent on being a band that doesn't rely on a record label for both success and acknowledgment, in early 2023 Williver established Beat Farm Music. From there, the OG8 band took hold. Williver's search for a vocalist that matched the values and could both command the stage and captivate the audience in a way that accentuates OG8's eclectic rock-Americana-blues sound led him to Lynch.“W.O.M.A.N” is a profound, unapologetic anthem redefining the rock and roll landscape“I wanted to capture confidence, freedom and owning who you are without apology or explanation,” Lynch, a multiple winner of “Best of Las Vegas” for her powerful vocals and stage presence for Pussycat Dolls, Peep Show, Vegas The Show and more, said. “So many times as women in this society, and especially in this industry, we are expected to behave a certain way, look a certain way – be a certain way. This song is really about taking that power back and owning it for yourself.”Sure, the streams and the album sales are nice, but for OG8 the recognition that they have a bond and a central mission, they can look in the mirror and see that they are doing meaningful work. They are unapologetically true to themselves. Their origin story is rooted in decades of musical collaboration, friendship and a shared ideological belief system of love of music over pursuit of ego. Drummer Michael Thomas Underwood III, Renato Caranto on saxophone, George Mitchell on keyboard, bassist Phil Baker and sound engineer Drew Canulette round out the band.A recuring theme in all of their experiences - OG8 has endured the pressures and feeling of being overlooked.“Stay in this place – don't go higher,” Lynch said. “People see you one way and use you for what they need. I want credit where it's due.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

In this episode of Americana Podcast: The 51st State, we listen for a different kind of music.Not the kind that starts on a stage. The kind built into process. The low hum of a sewing machine. The steady rhythm of hands at work. The quiet beat of something being made with intention.The story begins in Tupelo, Mississippi, a town forever tied to music. Gospel, blues, and early rock and roll left their fingerprints here. Rhythm lives in the ground, and making something, whether a song or a pair of jeans, has always meant putting a little of yourself into the work.Blue Delta Jeans was founded here by Josh West and Nick Weaver. Two men who believed craft still mattered, and that manufacturing could carry the same soul as the music that shaped its region. What they built was not about chasing trends. It was about slowing things down, listening closely, and letting process lead.This episode explores the connection between music, labor, and culture. The same values that shape a song shape the things we wear. Authenticity. Repetition. Imperfection.

Toby Manning joins the Coming From Left Field Podcast to discuss his book, “Mixing Pop and Politics: A Marxist History of Popular Music,” a sweeping, theory-driven history of commercial popular music from the 1950s to today. Dr. Manning traces how popular music doesn't float above politics but is shaped by – and responds to – capitalism, class struggle, race, empire, and changing economic regimes from Fordism/New Deal social democracy to neoliberalism and austerity. Rather than a narrow history of “protest songs,” he reads big-selling hits and major genres (rock and roll, Motown, soul, reggae, punk, post-punk, hip-hop, grunge, electronic dance music, contemporary pop) as expressions of dominant ideology, resistance, and contradiction inside a profit-driven culture industry. Drawing on Marxist concepts such as alienation, ideology, and dialectics, he shows how music both reflects the world and helps people imagine alternatives. Toby Manning is a British writer, journalist, critic, and educator based in London. He describes himself as a “professional music geek.” Dr. Manning was born and grew up in North Wales and lived in various parts of the UK before settling in London. He holds a PhD in English and Creative Writing from The Open University, completed in 2015, and much of his later work has developed from his doctoral research. He has written for major UK music and cultural publications such as NME, Q, Mojo, The Word, The Guardian, The Quietus , New Statesman, Red Pepper, and The Big Issue. He has also contributed to journals and essay collections, including work on The Velvet Underground and Talking Heads.   Resources: Order the book: https://www.amazon.com/Mixing-Pop-Politics-Marxist-History/dp/1913462676  Twitter/X: @TobyManning Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TobyLManning/ Spotify Playlists: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6SzgjiHOtNowpny0zqkixQ?si=a0f8a7ad38f642a2 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7As7CSf79iXtQ6p8SCNODL?si=e2bebc6ec514442d https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0mki0qN9TeIxiTn8kfZH1Z?si=923e5c9ee6154dc7   Greg's Blog: http://zzs-blg.blogspot.com/ Greg's Article on Coltrane: https://mltoday.com/coltrane-s-revolutionary-musical-journey/ Pat's Substack: https://patcummings.substack.com/   mixingpopandpolitics#marxisthistoryofpopularmusic#tobymanning#popmusicandcapitalism#marxismandmusic#historyofrockandroll#punkandpolitics#hiphopandclass#popularmusicideology#fordismandculture#neoliberalismandmusic#protestmusic#musicandsocialchange#musicandalienation#politicalmusichistory#PatCummings#PatrickCummings#GregGodels#ZZBlog#ComingFromLeftField#ComingFromLeftFieldPodcast#zzblog#mltoday

This week, one of my favorite humans ever, god's Favorite, Dani stops by.We talk about a lack of safety, due to a lack of accountability within twelve step groups and programs. We discuss the almost open r#&e culture in which victims become isolated while predators are protected. This is a microcosm of society at large in which we victim blame and remove accountability from the predators placing it firmly and continuously on those most effected by the assaults. Whenever Dani and I sit down, you can assume that there's a trigger warning for our episodes. We talk openly about subjects a lot of folks don't want to hear about because it not only attacks their sensibilities, but it reminds us all that the world is an increasingly and incredibly dangerous place, for some more so than others. Thank you, god's favorite; rock and roll my friend.

Youtube FacebookBioRock and roll enthusiast Rourke blends classic rock, politics, and compassion into his latest single, “I Can't Breathe,” part of his upcoming album Starstruck, set for release before summer. Writing about real people and real events, Rourke maintains the true spirit of rock while delivering songs that resonate deeply.“My goal is to create a brand of rock that brings the genre back to where it used to be, where the 70s meet the 80s. I want to write songs that stay in your head, the kind you are still hearing an hour later. That's what's missing from rock and roll these days. I want to bring rock back to basics,” Rourke shares.Rourke's musical journey began in his preteen years when he first picked up the guitar. Though he later pursued film school, music eventually became his primary platform for expression. In 2016, after growing frustrated by political debates on social media, he stepped away and returned to his guitar, channeling his emotions into songwriting. What began as personal release quickly evolved into a powerful creative outlet. Within a short time, he had written over 1,000 unfinished songs, setting the stage for what would become Starstruck.Over the past five years, Rourke has dedicated his spare time to developing the album one story at a time. What started as an acoustic demo inspired by Guns N' Roses and classic 70s and 80s rock gradually evolved into a full electric production featuring hard rock, blues, and emotional ballads. The album consists of ten songs accompanied by original artwork, including a cover photo Rourke captured himself while driving through downtown Los Angeles, which became a symbolic reflection of division in America.Working alongside his producer and studio musicians in Los Angeles, the project grew from a simple four song demo into a full band album and immersive musical experience.“I Can't Breathe,” the album's third single, delivers a powerful and emotional message inspired by the death of George Floyd and the broader struggles facing the country. The song takes listeners through five emotional stages of the Black experience, beginning with fear, anger, sadness, and frustration before resolving with hope. “When I first wrote it, I started on acoustic guitar,” Rourke explains. “The outro was added at the last minute because it didn't feel complete without it.”With help from childhood friend Rami Jaffee of Foo Fighters, who performs keyboards throughout the album, Rourke transformed the track into a moving statement piece. Guitarist Richard Fortus of Guns N' Roses also contributes to two tracks, adding depth and intensity to the record.Listeners drawn to socially conscious rock should also explore Rourke's single “Rise,” which he describes as his “Michelle Obama” song. Inspired by her famous quote, “When they go low, we go high,” Rourke turned the phrase into the chorus “When they go low, we rise.” The call and response structure transforms political tension into a soaring rock anthem, drawing comparisons to Bon Jovi and Green Day.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

One of the few “rules” of the monthly new release series is that reissues aren’t generally considered for inclusion in these shows. But this is rock and roll, and there’s no real rules…especially when a former member of The Replacements is concerned. This story actually begins a few weeks ago when I saw a notice in Record Collector that there would be some sort of Slim Dunlap compilation coming out in February. A few days later, another UK music mag reported that this package would include remastered versions of his two albums PLUS bonus tracks! Then came the official announcement. Every Little Word indeed consists of both of his wonderful solo albums, plus another 80 minutes of bonus material! Yes, this is a set worth breaking my rules, so we start the show off with five of these rarities. After that it’s a typical new release episode. There’s plenty of “friends of the show”, including Numb Surprise, The Ex-Bombers, Rob Moss, and a double shot of Vista Blue. Speaking of double shots, there are previews of new albums by The Darts (US) and UltraBomb, along with great new albums by Sweet Reaper and Music City.  What tracks did you dig […]

Rumors swirl about ICE agents potentially showing up at voting locations — and Pags cuts straight through it with a simple point: only citizens can vote, so what's the problem? From there, he delivers the civics lesson everyone's been waiting for, breaking down where the filibuster came from, why it exists, and why Republicans are debating whether it's time to change it. Then the heat turns up as Anna Paulina Luna and Mike Johnson sound off on the SAVE Act — and you need to hear their takes. Finally, rock-and-roll legend Ted Nugent joins Pags for a no-holds-barred, two-part conversation blasting Super Bowl wokeness, weighing in on Bad Bunny and Green Day, defending the Second Amendment, reacting to Minneapolis, and torching the culture shift overtaking sports and music.

Encore! Encore! This February Janet, John, (and Pen) wanted to revist the spectacular life and career of this absolute Queen of Rock and Roll... Tina Turner! Born on November 26. 1939 in Brownsville, Tennessee, this star was the youngest of three daughters. Her childhood characterized as frenetic and unstable due to her parents' work and personal lives. By the age of 16, Anna Mae (Tina Turner's birth name) was enamored with the nightclub scene. There she met Ike Turner, who invited her to be a backup vocal for his band after she stole the microphone from him and sang out "You Know I Love You," by B.B. King. By 1960, Anna Mae found her first big break when she stepped in for a missing vocalist on the track, "A Fool in Love." Soon she was rebranded as Tina Turner and continued performing with Ike Turner in their band, Ike & Tina Turner Revue. Unfortunately this stint in stardom came to an end, as Turner's marriage to Ike to a turn for the worst. To keep herself afloat during their separation, Turner continued to sing and perform as a celebrity guest on game shows and sitcoms— one of her happiest times. Turner found her big break into stardom again when she released a cover of Al Greene's "Let's Stay Together." From there, Turner would go onto release multiple sucessful albulms like Private Dancer and What's Love Got to Do with it— in which a single off the latter would garner Turner three grammys! She would also appear in George Miller's Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985), for which she also wrote two hit songs. By 1999, Turner would release her tenth and final solo album, "Twenty Four Seven"— what a life well lived!  To learn more about this episode and others, visit the official Cinema Sounds & Secrets website!

The Projection Booth kicks off a month devoted to Australian oddities with Shirley Thompson Versus the Aliens, the startling 1972 debut from director Jim Sharman. Long unseen outside of archival corners of the internet, the film sits at the crossroads of experimental theater, pop music, political anxiety, and institutional paranoia. Heather Drain and Chris O'Neil join Mike to unpack the film's radical shifts in tone and form: the oscillation between black-and-white and color, the omnipresent off-screen voices, the rock-and-roll aliens, and the way Sharman folds Cold War fears, ecological warnings, and Australian cultural touchstones into Shirley's fractured psyche. The discussion also traces how the film anticipates Sharman's later work, with its collision of spectacle, provocation, and musical disruption. The episode features an interview with production designer Brian Thomson, who reflects on the film's theatrical roots, handmade aesthetic, and the creative freedom that allowed such a strange debut to exist. Part asylum drama, part pop-art warning, Shirley Thompson Versus the Aliens stands as a message from the margins nobody was prepared to hear.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth 

All Shook Up: A Novel by Enid Langbert https://www.amazon.com/All-Shook-Up-Enid-Langbert/dp/1684632641 Enidlangbert.com This YA debut speaks to the continued interest in the teen culture of the 1950s—Elvis Presley, teenage rebellion—with a young girl embarking on adventure and music, ultimately uncovering family secrets. Being fourteen is especially hard in 1956, when the world is changing around you. Honor student Paula Levy was born into a family of historical victims: her mother's youth was lost in the Depression and her father's was destroyed in the Holocaust, an as-yet-unnamed event about which no one speaks. But Paula has heard the new music taking hold of the nation—rock and roll—and it has given her hope. And she has two friends to get her through life's ups and downs: Holden Caulfield, hero of Catcher in the Rye, who shares her view of the world, and Barbara, a “cool” girl in her high school who unexpectedly shares Paula's view of Holden. Paula's mother is not a fan of Barbara, and she prohibits her daughter from associating with her. Paula manages to get around her mother's rule and see Barbara anyway—but when Paula asks the wrong questions about her father's past and Barbara is caught with her “boyfriend,” their private world of Holden, rock, and Elvis Presley crumbles. Angry with the adults in their lives, the two girls run away to find Barbara's real father, a jazz musician. Disappointingly, he does not live in a mansion or socialize with Elvis—but Paula and Barbara may find something even better. About the author Enid Wolfe Langbert was not as adventurous as her protagonist, Paula, in high school, but she made up for it in the sixties by marching, sitting in, and raging against segregation and the war while, in her spare time, raising three children. Eventually, she went to law school. She loved zealously advocating for her clients as an attorney, whether they deserved it or not, until her husband became ill and she closed her practice to care for him. After he passed, she traveled widely and enrolled in an English literature master's program. She is now writing her thesis, tracing the influence of James Joyce's legal issues on his writing of Finnegans Wake—a topic about which she is unambiguously passionate. Enid lives in New York City.

On the 127th Episode of Dorm Damage With Tom & Zeus the guys welcome twins Matthew & Gunnar Nelson!
