Podcasts about rock operas

Robert shares how his favorite radio station from the 90s introduced him to the band Savatage and their beautiful blending of keyboards and hard rock. He is less enthusiastic about rock operas, musicals or insurance products that blend life insurance with investments or living benefits.

Show Notes This week on MSB... it's finally time for the first part of never-before-translated SD Gundam movie SD Gundam Matsuri - SD Command War Chronicle: Gundam Force: Super G-Arms: Final Formula vs Norm-Gather! It's time for Space Battles and Rock Operas as the forces of good, evil, and music team up to take down an eldritch horror from beyond the stars. Check out the MSB translation available in the PDF attached to this post and then listen to the episode for the best (and only?) English-language discussion of this epic confrontation. Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/. We would like to thank The Lenape Center for guiding us in creating this living land acknowledgment.

So many people peg Alice Cooper as the Father of Shock Rock or Creator of Shock Rock. Nay Nay! Thanks to a man named Alan Freed (famous radio DJ who pegged the slogan 'Rock n Roll' and a man named Screamin' Jay Hawkins - the original shock rock performance was Screamin' Jay singing I Put a Spell On You as he came out of a coffin. This famous performance deserves all the credit, and we talk about the whole history of the song and Jay Hawkins in this Roots Music History Podcast Episode Most recently known for the Hocus Pocus I Put a Spell On You Song, the song I Put a Spell On You by Screamin' Jay Hawkins has not only been around for decades, it was also the first song/artist who brought us 'Shock Rock' or 'Rock Operas' that people like Alice Cooper are most known for. It was also birthed by the man who came up with the term 'Rock and Roll', famous radio DJ Alan Freed. #rockandroll #rootsmusichistory #rootsmusichistorypodcast #historypodcast It's been covered by multiple artists including but not limited to: IZA, Nina Simone, Jeff Beck, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bonnie Tyler, Seal, John Debney, Kandace Springs, Queen Latifah, and more. While you might know every word to this diddy, you might not know the full story behind the man who wrote it. A man named Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Turns out, screamin' Jay was just as spooky and eccentric as the song itself. While most peg Alice Cooper as the 'Godfather of Shock Rock' and/or 'Rock Operas' we must give credit where credit is due: Screamin' Jay was actually the first performer to bring us the Shock Rock theatrics, thanks to famous radio DJ, Alan Freed. So pour yourself some goblin juice, and enjoy this episode of Roots Music History as we dig up the Roots beneath the song 'I Put a Spell On You' by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. #rootsmusichistory #podcast #documentary #rootsrockumentary #halloween2023 #halloweenparty #stories #storybehindthesong ✅Suggested Links Original Performance of I Put a Spell On You by Screamin' Jay Hawkins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kGPhpvqtOc ✅Become a Roots Music History Member (Level 3 = Members Only Videos):

We're kicking off another Junesical Theatre Month by covering the concept of rock operas! It's a little teaser for the rest of the month, as we will be covering rock operas and rock musicals each week this month. We dig into rock operas, rock musicals, the differences and similarities, and for some reason we talk a lot about if there are more stars in the universe or sand grains on the earth. We also talk a lot about our team Anarchy, the improvised rock opera, so go see it and support our improv in Chicago!

Green Day...American IdiotThe Kinks...Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)David Bowie...The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spider From MarsTim Rice / Andrew Lloyd Webber...Jesus Christ SuperstarAll of these incredible Rock Operas have a few things in common. First of all, there's some pretty serious genius going into the whole thing. Secondly, they give us the bigger picture of a story that comes from a unique song.  Finally, they are just damned enjoyable. This month, the boys at Three Drinks In explore other possible songs that could or should be made into some fashion of a deeper production, perhaps even a Rock Opera. Spotify Playlist for 040

What IS an opera, anyway? It is a dramatic story told with music rather than acting. The songs tell us the story. The 1970s was not only a golden era for classic rock, it was especially a golden era for the rock opera. This episode of For the Record: The 70s examines some of songs from the iconic rock operas of the decade, most of which have the similar theme of youth angst and desire at their core. Artists and bands such as The Who, Meatloaf, and Pink Floyd created characters and told stories with their songs and, in the process, created some of the best rock that the 70s had to offer. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/amy-lively/message

(04/22/22) - Andy's Top 6 rock operas and concept albums

Bulutsuzluk Özlemi 10. albümünde benzersiz bir çalışma sundu dinleyicilere. Nâzım Hikmet'in 1936 yılında yayımlanan destansı şiiri Simavne Kadısı Oğlu Şeyh Bedreddin'in hikâyesi, Nejat Yavaşoğulları'nın bestesiyle yeni bir forma bürünüyor. Mehmed Çelebi‘ye karşı ayaklanma hazırladıkları gerekçesiyle asılan Şeyh Bedreddin, Börklüce Mustafa ve Torlak Kemal‘i ölümsüzleştiren bu manzum eserin müzikal dönüşümünü konuşmak için 17 Ocak 2022 akşamı Kıraathane'de buluştuk. Nejat Yavaşoğulları'ndan, Hakan Kurşun'un moderatörlüğünde Bedreddin'i dinledik.

Benjy Bradshaw The Phantom Electric Ghost Interview 2021 Benjy Bradshaw Bio Described as a “creative chameleon” and a “fierce musical force,” Benjy Bradshaw is the epitome of a DIY musician — one that embodies self-invention. Known for his extravagant looks and one-of-a-kind live performances, Benjy is an independent recording artist pushing for love, self-acceptance, and creative exploration. Raised in a working-class suburb outside of Oakland, California, USA, his multi-ethnic background (Native American, Portuguese, English, Irish) and private Catholic school education ultimately contributed to his constant exploration of self identity. Rock Operas such as “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” as well as 1980s synth pop anthems served as a foundation of sorts — allowing him to realize that he wasn't alone in his “queerdom.” It was this curiosity of self that inspired him to begin creating music. Locking himself in his garage-turned bedroom, Benjy began to create Casio synthesizer melodies and lyrics, even without any formal training. After taking a musical hiatus through most of high school and university, Benjy was re-introduced to his creative impulses after living the London, England nightlife scene (during a study abroad experience at Central Saint Martins School of Design). He was so enthralled with big city life, that when Benjy graduated from the University of San Francisco, he went directly to study interactive art at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. It was living in New York City (a lifelong dream), where music re-entered Benjy's life. Two months after graduating NYU, as a way to fight mid-summer loneliness, Benjy wrote his first official pop song, “Online Boy,” touching on the innovations and pitfalls of 21st century queer life. In the years following, Benjy always found healing through creating his own electronic music in private. Today, Benjy is ready to share all the music that he has made — inspired primarily by dance, house, and new wave music. Besides singing, songwriting, producing, and performing, Benjy also loves to "art direct his life" -- experimenting with photography, makeup, fashion, and design. He fights everyday to make sure others also find their creative voice — in whatever form that may take. Currently producing an unreleased catalogue of over 30 songs, Benjy does not fit the blueprint of a typical pop star, but proves that being a perfectly imperfect self-built artist can be even more exciting. Benjy Bradshaw "Love Is Love (Remixes)" is OUT NOW.

Billy Gardell returns ahead of Thanksgiving with a tune of the ages stuck in his head, Randy bails him out in like four seconds - and it's the deep cuts of all deep cuts. Plus, a look back at the 70s rock opera fad.

In the novel Lost Horizon, Shangri-La is the mystical, hidden paradise of legend. In the The Kinks song, it's the name given to the humble home of Arthur, the main character in Ray Davies' concept album/rock opera Arthur (Or The Decline and Fall of The British Empire). Written as the accompaniment for a TV movie that was never produced, Arthur still stands as one of The Kinks' best works, and "Shangri-La" is the stand-out track from this album. "Shangri-La" (Ray Davies) Copyright 1969 Davray Music Limited, Carlin Music Corp If you enjoyed this show, please check out this episode:http://lovethatsongpodcast.com/the-kinks-autumn-almanac-- This show is one of the many great podcasts on the Pantheon Podcasts network.

The Who released a string of classic albums, but many consider Quadrophenia to be their best. It's certainly one of their most ambitious. Pete Townshend wrote the songs, but the stunning performances by Roger Daltrey (vocals), Keith Moon (drums) & John Entwistle (bass) bring the songs to life. Nowhere is that more evident on "The Real Me", which features all four members in top form, showing why they were one of the all-time great bands.The Who - "The Real Me" (Peter Townshend) Copyright 1973 Fabulous Music Ltd, Towser Tunes Inc and ABKCO Music IncLike this episode?

When was the last time you jammed out to sum Andrew Lloyd Weber?

How the heck do I create what I can imagine? I've got really awesome ideas of things and visuals and music and movies that I want to put on the CoyoteRadio.TV website. I want the “Coyote Radio TV Show” to be as awesome as my hallucinations… I mean imaginations… During THIS PODCAST I am “The Hippy Coyote.” Yippee! “Kung Fu Cowboy” has become the senior version of me, The Coyote. As a kid before my psychedelic years, I spent time with the coyotes of San Diego as I went collecting snakes, lizards, salamanders and toads. I was a real “nature boy.” The neighbors called my backyard “The Menagerie” because I had so many wild animals. That's why I didn't mind being called, “Coyote,” after Michael J. Fox made our rock opera, Coyote In A Graveyard, famous when he came around and jammed with us on stage at Madame Wong's nightclub in Santa Monica. My band was, THE RICH, but we billed ourselves as “Coyote In A Graveyard” because we were performing that rock opera of stories. A romantic rock opera in a looney bin. Very similar to “One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest” by another acid popping hippie. In today's “Coyote Radio TV Show” podcast I read the poem, “Romantic Chaos,” about my cat named Bear plopping onto whatever I'm working on… Today's song, “Whose Heaven Is This?” is from LEVEL 1 = Peace Of Mind album by American Zen. I mention about how miserable life was so you can appreciate the title of that first album by American Zen. Sometimes “Peace Of Mind” is worth its' weight in gold. Hmmm. Maybe a brain's weight of gold? That's a few pounds… Maybe I'll turn down the heat so Bear will snuggle with me when I go to bed in a minute. When we lived in my car it would get near freezing. Bear would climb into my sleeping bag and snuggle under my left shoulder. It was a hard life, but we found some “Peace Of Mind” together everyday. He's like my war buddy, a soldier whose been to Hell and back with me. I tell him, “I love you,” probably every day. I don't think about it. I just get the opportunities to hold him and then I say it. (Neither of my parents have ever said those words to me.) We're in the story of LEVEL 1 of American Zen, and despite the hardship back then—I even had the love of my wife. I never imagined it would only last a couple more years. That love you share in hard times makes it more permanent—at least in my mind… or heart… or wherever love seems to be gone from… “Whose Heaven Is This?” Features a UKULELE instead of an electric guitar. The song is so resentful that I thought the ukulele would lighten the mood without changing the lyrics. What do you think? “Stuff The Coyote Likes™” https://www.CoyoteRadio.TV The song “Whose Heaven Is This?” Is from the album LEVEL 1 = Peace Of Mind by American Zen https://www.shaolinrecords.com/RecordStore-R/americanZenLevel1-R.html American Zen Official website: https://www.AmericanZen.org Produced by Richard Del Connor for Shaolin Records. https://www.ShaolinRecords.com Copyright 1984-2021 Shaolin Communications https://www.ShaolinCOM.com Music used by permission of Shaolin Records and licensed by Shaolin Music.

This week the word is SpaceOpera. First the nerds discuss various types of operas before focusing in on the various types of Space Operas. They also talk about Rock Operas, Horse Operas, Klingon Operas and Planetary Romances. Turning to work, they talk about ideas they've been having for running games for people using Zoom and such. Keith talks about the start of season 4 of Fargo, and shares his excitement about the new Right Stuff series that's about to launch, plus Archer and Bob's Burgers. Then they drop the spoiler curtain to talk about Star Trek: Lower Decks, before circling back to space operas again. Lastly, Keith complains about Animal Babies.SPOILER WARNING: contains spoilers.

Eric whines about his new experience with sciatica (look it up), which one would have thought only 60 year old people experienced. He continues to acquire new maladies. What is wrong with this guy? J&E recall bullied kids learning karate when they were kids as a self-defense tool and feel that it generally would have failed them against larger, tougher bullies. Contact us if you're a former karate kid and you feel we are wrong on this one. As part of the covid-19 experience (that's what it's called now yes?), we have all hit a forced reset button on society. J&E discussed how some people just naturally found "dream jobs", the ones that they always wanted as kids. Perhaps now is a time for us to reset and pursue those. Side topics of rock operas, penis puppeteering, whale training, marshmallow roasting. Discussions of the challenges women face from the time they are born, especially from an aesthetic front. As an additional side effect, women have been wearing less or no makeup and it's the show's position that they typically look better without it. J&E like to see women sticking to their authentic selves and that includes being able to see their faces. Discussion of pregnancy as a sacrifice and a gift. Thanks for listening! 

In this very brief episode, I talk about Rock Operas in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of The Who's Tommy.

In this episode, composer Landon Braverman discusses rock operas in musical theater, including deep dives into the scores of Evita and Jesus Christ Superstar. We also talk about Michael Friedman's songs "I'm Not That Guy" and "I'm So That Guy" from his 2010 musical Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson.

Episode 2 of the Take Me to the World Musical Theatre Podcast is all about Jukebox Musicals. I'll be giving some examples of different musicals, and I'll be talking about the two categories that you can break most jukebox musicals into. As well I'll touch on some good and bad points about jukebox musicals in general, and why I think it's important to talk about and see jukebox musicals.

This week Joe and Newg discuss comically large penises, what their porn star name would be, Chelsea Manning and Rock Operas.

Forget about Carmen or Madame Butterfly. Sound Opinions' own divas, Jim and Greg, share their favorite Rock Operas.

Alrighty, Geeks and geekettes I know I've said this in the past, but this is our best episode yet! This time around we tackle the vast catalog of Warner Brothers cartoons and come each come up with our top 5(at least off the top of our head). How we got through this episode without totally losing it laughing is amazing, but that's how professional we are! Besides, you, the fans are worth it! The laughs and the reviews can be found here. Our next couple episode include our salute to the Beatles on film for our one year anniversary show and after that a lesson in Narrative Rock(Concept Albums, Rock Operas, anything that tells a story). Check out our sister podcast at the Secret Lair Drive-In where we review the 1954 classic, Them! Til next time , kids, remember, It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man. Later, kids! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well, after the the truly demented heights(or lows?) of our Looney Tunes Episode we decided to scale things back a bit for this weeks discussion of The Beatles On Film! Just as the Beatles themselves attempted to get back to their roots with what eventually became Let It Be, We're giving you loyal listeners a sort of retro episode(for us anyway). That means no sound clips, no background music, just D-Dub and I having an old-fashioned discussion on The Beatles film career. Still a pretty spiffy episode, if you ask me(and if you didn't why are you reading this blog?). Any road, you can sample its' Beatle-y goodness here. Our next two topics we will tackle will be Narrative Rock, which is my weird term for Rock Operas, Concept Albums, anything that tells a story(and rocks, hopefully!), followed by a look at the DC Comics Animated Universe. Like (or don't like)what you hear and want to let us know? Drop us a line at geeksexplainitall@gmail.com Check out our sister podcast at the Secret Lair Drive-in where we are doing our review of our first year by awarding the Lair-ies for the films we loved, (as well as those, well, not so much). Be good kids, and til next time, remember, you should never drink and drive(even though to get a drink, you have to show them something that says you can drive). See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well, we're definitely trying to stretch our limits and knowledge this week! Our subject is what I like to refer to as Narrative Rock, which is a catch-all name for Rock Operas, concept albums, i.e., anything with a storyline. I know it was an educational experience for D-Dub and I learned a few things myself. Check out this slice of EPIC-ness here. Our topic we tackle next time around will be a look at some of our favorites from the DC Animated Universe. Comments? Questions? Queries? Posers?
