EX60 - The 1975 - I'm In Love With You and It's Not Living If It's Not With You The 1975 are an English pop rock band formed in 2002 in Wilmslow, Cheshire. The band consists of lead vocalist, principal songwriter and guitarist Matty Healy, lead guitarist Adam Hann, bassist Ross MacDonald, and drummer and primary producer George Daniel. The name of the band was inspired by a page of scribblings found in Healy's copy of On the Road by Jack Kerouac that was dated "1 June, The 1975". The band members met in secondary school, and first performed together as teenagers in 2002, before professionally releasing music in 2012 under independent label Dirty Hit Rolling Stone stated that the band has been at "the forefront of modern pop rock" since their debut. Pitchfork has described them as a "band of friends" who "ascended from scrappy emo rockers to global superstars". Entertainment Weekly has characterized them as "British Phenoms," with Billboard declaring them "the most ambitious pop-rock band of their generation". They have received several awards and nominations including four Brit Awards, two Ivor Novello Awards, as well as two nominations for the Mercury Prize and Grammy Awards. In addition, they have been awarded "Band of the Decade" at the 2020 NME Awards.

⚡ ️ Love on Tour is over and Harry Styles shows gestures of gratitude and respect  for fans in his closing speech. From the Barbie movie, Ryan Gosling gifts Ken's guitar to Jimin of BTS for wearing the same outfit as the idol in the “Permission to Dance” music video.  ⚡Doja Cat goes on a Twitter tirade against fans using the “Kittenz” fandom name, and says they need to “get a job.” This isn't the first time Doja has berated fans. In 2022 she tweeted that “Planet Her and Hot Pink were cash-grabs, and y'all fell for it.” We discuss why Doja Cat might be a bad person, what that means for her career, and if listeners even care. This is in stark contrast to Jungkook of BTS who recently went live to talk about how he considers ARMY to be his best friends.  ⚡The 1975 were banned from Malaysia after Matty Healy kissed Ross MacDonald on stage at Good Vibes festival over the weekend. This was preceded by a lengthy speech criticising the Malaysian government for its anti-LGBTQ+ policies. We discuss why Matty Healy's actions are performative and harmful for Malaysian citizens, why Matty needs to check his privilege, and how to be a proper ally in this situation. Enjoy this episode?

Lana Zand, Babs Drougge och Matilda Rånge på P3 Nyheter förklarar morgonens stora nyheter, tillsammans med programledarna för Morgonpasset i P3: Torbjörn Averås Skorup, Assia Dahir och Carl-Johan Ulvenäs. Idag sammanfattar vi helgens stora musiknyhet. Bandet The 1975 bannas från att spela i Malaysia efter att sångaren Matty Healy i en lång rant kritiserat landets anti-hbtqi lagar och sedan kysst basisten Ross MacDonald på scen. Sedan pratar vi om kokainhajar i Florida. Amerikanska forskare har nämligen hajat till efter att ha noterat hajar som rör sig ryckigt, simmar i cirklar och fokuserar på inbillade föremål. Man tror att smugglares dumpade knark kan vara orsaken till detta.

Medaya Ocher and Eric Newman speak to Rachel Nuwer about her recent book, I Feel Love: MDMA and the Quest for Connection in a Fractured World. They discuss the drug's emergence in the Bay Area during the 1960s when pioneers hailed it as a groundbreaking mental health therapy for treating everything from addiction to trauma before the US government classified it as a dangerous Schedule I drug. Eric, Medaya, and Rachel also discuss MDMA's surge in popularity as a party drug during the 1980s and 1990s, as well as inclusion in new clinical trials currently underway to research its effectiveness in treating severe cases of PTSD. Across her account of MDMA's past, present, and future, Nuwer's accessible journalistic account informs and challenges what we know about how the drug works and how the government, researchers, and underground renegades have shaped the scientific and cultural discourse that surrounds it. Also, Kristin Ross, the author of The Politics and Poetics of Everyday Life returns to recommend a range of works that capture and comment on everyday life: Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments by Saidaya Hartman, the writing of Mike Davis and Fredric Jamison on Los Angeles, the noir novels of Raymond Chandler and Ross MacDonald set in Sothern California, the detective novels (and even-darker fictions) of George Simenon, and the historical novels of Janet Lewis, including The Wife of Martin Guerre.

The author of the Commissario Guido Brunetti mystery series, Donna Leon, is joined by writer-entrepreneur Margaret Heffernan and the presenter Harriett Gilbert. Donna has chosen a book by an author she greatly admires, Ross MacDonald, who she read before she became a writer herself. His 1971 noir novel, The Underground Man, follows a detective as he tries to track down a missing child, whilst a mysterious fire rages through the hills of Southern California. Margaret loves Butcher's Crossing, the lesser-known book by John Williams, the author of Stoner. Set in 1871, this is about a young Harvard drop-out who heads out into the American West to discover a new way of living and which Margaret describes as an 'anti-Western' novel. Meanwhile Harriett's choice is A Golden Age by Tahmima Anam, which follows a mother's struggle to protect her children as Bangladesh fights for independence. Produced by Eliza Lomas.

His two novels for children – Chase and Escape – star a computer-enhanced dog named Chipper who's on the run from the evil organization that turned him into a super-pup. Barclay's 2011 thriller, The Accident, has been turned into the six-part television series L'Accident in France, and he adapted his novel Never Saw It Coming for the movie, directed by Gail Harvey and starring Eric Roberts and Emily Hampshire. Several of his other books either have been, or still are, in development for TV and film, including the Promise Falls trilogy. After spending his formative years helping run a cottage resort and trailer park after his father died when he was 16, Barclay got his first newspaper job at the Peterborough Examiner, a small Ontario daily. In 1981, he joined the Toronto Star, Canada's largest circulation newspaper. He held such positions as assistant city editor, chief copy editor, news editor, and Life section editor, before becoming the paper's humour columnist in 1993. He was one of the paper's most popular columnists before retiring from the position in 2006 to work exclusively on books. In 2004, he launched his mystery series about an anxiety-ridden, know-it-all, pain-in-the-butt father by the name of Zack Walker. Bad Move, the first book, was followed by three more Zack Walker thrillers: Bad Guys, Lone Wolf, and Stone Rain. (The last two were published in the UK under the titles Bad Luck and Bad News.) His first standalone thriller, No Time for Goodbye, was published in 2007 to critical acclaim and great international success. The following year, it was a Richard and Judy Summer Read selection in the UK, and did seven straight weeks at #1 on the UK bestseller list, and finished 2008 as the top selling novel of the year there. The book has since been sold around the world and been translated into nearly thirty languages. Barclay was born in the United States but moved to Canada just before turning four years old when his father, a commercial artist whose illustrations of cars appeared in Life, Look and Saturday Evening Post (before photography took over), accepted a position with an advertising agency north of the border. Barclay, who graduated with an English literature degree from Trent University, in Peterborough, Ontario, was fortunate to have some very fine mentors; in particular, the celebrated Canadian author Margaret Laurence, whom Linwood first met when she served as writer-in-residence at Trent, and Kenneth Millar, who, under the name Ross Macdonald, wrote the acclaimed series of mystery novels featuring detective Lew Archer. It was at Trent that he met Neetha, the woman who would become his wife. They have two grown children, Spencer and Paige.

“When you have cattle grazing on these grassland landscapes, it really encourages plant and soil biodiversity,” says cattle rancher Ross Macdonald, as he wanders through a bucolic landscape in central Canada. “See that soil is alive,” he adds as dirt falls through his fingers.    “The cattle and the ecosystem coexist,” echoes fellow rancher Lieschen Beretta, standing in a lush field in Ontario, “and they actually need each other.”  No, this is not a conversation from a webinar on regenerative agriculture or from a conference on climate change. It's from a new advertising campaign by Canadian fast-food company A&W for their new grass-fed beef burgers. The ad, one of five, runs frequently on national TV, compelling consumers to believe that the once-vilified cow is now needed for the health of the planet and that their consumption of grass-fed beef is somehow part of the fight against climate change.  Jessica Scott-Reid is a Canadian freelance journalist focused on animal rights & welfare and plant-based foods. She also co-hosts the animal law podcast, Paw & Order.Hear the whole story read by Devatha Nair. Read the article here: https://sentientmedia.org/how-grass-fed-beef-is-duping-consumers-again/ Hit subscribe and find us here: Newsletter: https://sentientmedia.org/newsletter​ Facebook: https://facebook.com/sentientmediaorg​ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sentient_media​ Instagram: https://instagram.com/sentient_media​ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sent...​
