Podcasts about seventeen candles

We open with Maurice Rocco- Rocco's Booogie Woogie and Tonky blues. An Australian Pressing on Decca, 1940. Never released in Britain. Rocco played piano standing up. Way before Jerry lee Lewis. Succesful during the 40s his star began to wane in the 1950s. A great shame, as what a performer and composer he was. He was murdered in Thailand in 1976. Big Joe Turner(vocals) and Pete Johnson(piano)- Roll 'em Pete and Going away blues. Roll 'em Pete is regarded as one of the most important precursor songs to Rock and Roll.  Albert Ammons, Meade Lux Lewis,  Pete Johnson and Joe Turner-  Cafe Society Rag. Meade Lux lewis- Whistling Blues. Wingie Carpenter, Trumpter, singer and bandleader- Put me back in the alley. Vocals by Mae Hopkins. Who was mae Hopkins? Nothing about her on the internet, other than cutting four sides for Decca with Mozelle France in 1940. Sam Price and his Texan Bluesicians- How 'bout that mess. Pianist who performed  in numerous bands right up until the 1980s. Throughout the 1960s and 70s he was a civil rights campaigner and activist. An amazing man. Vic Filmer and his Murray Club Band- If you can't sing whistle(1931). Excellent advice in my case. Nice quality track on the Piccadilly label. Been waiting for a Ken 'Snakehips' Johnson and his West Indian Dance Band record to turn up for a while. Here we have Seventeen Candles and Last time I will fall in love. Johnson was an important figure in the history of black British music. Originally from British Guyana his West Indian band brought a real flavour of US style band music to Britain. Johnson was sadly killed in a bombing raid in 1941, he was playing at The Cafe Paris in London. Members of the band joined other British groups and influenced British jazz for years to come. Yorke Desouza, Dave Wilkins and Joe Deniz worked extensively with F.S favourite Harry Parry. We have a wee flavour of George Formby Senior from 1920. This is on an Ariel Grand Records disc. He died the year after this recording, aged 46. He was a huge music hall and recording star at the begining of the 20th century. Elements of his act may well have inspired Chaplin's tramp. His upbringing was incredibly harsh and impoverished. A strong contrast to the height of his career when he was earning £350 a week(£40k in 2022). He was reluctant to allow his son into show business and sent him away for jockey training. Didn't stop young George though. He went on to become an even greater star. We finish with Buddy's Blues from Buddy Featherstonehaugh and his Radio Rhythm Club and the Gerry Mulligan Quartet. Yeah I know he's hardly forgotten but when do you hear him played directly from a 78 record?

Who the F**k Is Gossip Girl? is recorded at the awesome Loading Bar in Dalston which is essentially the bar in The Palace Hotel except with more board games and video game themed cocktails so…probably better, in a way.

KJ-52 and Chunjay sit down for coffee in Florida and reflect on their experiences in hip-hop and the Christian hip-hop subgenre.   Little Cuban cafe, on KJ discovering Cuban colada coffee. KJ does not enjoy pour over coffee. Chunjay eating a Cubano sandwich. On what KJ-52 is up to: crowdfunding new album, videos, documentary. Adding public speaking to rapping. “I’m coming from the perspective of a 42 year old man. I’m not coming from where I was when I was 25 and came into the industry….I’m an old MacBook Pro with updated software.” KJ-52’s struggle after his record deal with Essential ended. Shopping to Nashville record labels. Ended up with Tooth & Nail/Uprok.  KJ on Flicker Records: “Then they turned round and signed you guys, and I was so ticked off.”   “Revenge of the Nerds” by KJ-52 with Pigeon John from the KJ-52 Remixed album.   On figuring out his niche, and finding a way forward. On catching criticism for things he did. On his “backpack rapper” origins with Sons of Intellect and Shadow of the Locust. “I always looked at every record as ‘starting over.’” On his platform, not just “youth group rapper.” History: Goatee led him to Todd Collins. Todd took him to Essential. On the KJ-52/Royal Ruckus tour of Maui in 2001. On Royal Ruckus: “You two were the most interesting, hilarious, weird people I’d ever hung out with in a long time. And I think because of that, I was like, ‘I’m really drawn to these guys, cause they’re so bizarre, but so like, genuinely themselves.’ And I think that resonated with me.” On getting sunburnt in Hawaii.   “Cheese Rappers in Paradise” (Demo) by Royal Ruckus from Seventeen Candles. Available free at noisetrade.com/royalruckus.   On crossing paths with each other in Nashville, TN and Bakersfield, CA. “I’ve played in Bakersfield so many times.” Headlining the “White Privilege Conference” in the middle of Iowa.

Paraphrase: I went from getting a couple grand shows to getting $250 a show locally, if I was lucky. Finding alternate ways to survive and stay in his own lane. Graffiti. School assemblies. Being a pastor. Rapping still. “It’s like I wrecked the ship, took the wood, and built a house.”   “Fight Music” by KJ-52 featuring Lecrae and Propaganda, from the album, Mental.   On KJ’s lack of facial hair. KJ loved street tacos in Baja, Mexico, and Korean-fusion tacos in San Francisco. KJ recommended podcasts: What She Wants (formerly Ask Women), Sexy Marriage Radio, Stuck in the 80s, and The Cypher Show. KJ on women: they don’t want men to be nice, they want ALPHA. “I realized how technically challenged some of my fanbase is. So I was like, ‘How can I make this as simple as possible?’” KJ52 Podcast. @kj52 at twitter and facebook, @kj52instagram for insta. “Let me say, and I dig your podcast, too. Because I like how you explore back stories.” On having something to say, and less to lose.

Thom Nickels interview. Rain storm. Northern Liberties in Philadelphia.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Liberties,_Philadelphia “Gone are the days where you go to a bar and there’s just the sound of conversation.” What we were drinking: Thom had Coors Light, and plotting on French wine. Chunjay drinking PBR and bourbon, the Philadelphia “City Wide Special.”  https://billypenn.com/2016/01/20/the-philly-citywide-special-index-whose-combo-packs-the-most-punch/ Sharing a memory of a Russian New Year mishap. Thom’s faith past. Roman Catholicism, agnosticism-atheism, Orthodoxy. Walking out on Ash Wednesday. “My father tried to break down my door, because he wanted me to stop reading.” Discovering his sexuality, discovering gay bars. On 1969/1970: “To announce that you were gay to your family then, was really paramount to saying you had a mental illness. Nobody talked about it.”  Working in the hospital.  Falling in love with all the wrong people. One night stands. Collecting experiences. On marijuana and drugs. The Gay Liberation Movement. The Black Panthers. Homosexuality in black and Latino communities. His first partner was black. On pacifism. Bringing his partner home to his family. On wrestling with homosexuality and faith. “The whole concept of a gay emotional life, a gay person, didn’t exist then.” “Were we to be in an automobile accident, and were a priest to come to our bedside, we would confess our ‘gay sins,’ as it were.” “We are all slaves to our baptism. I can’t entirely liberate myself.” “Certainly promiscuity, wild ‘Don Juan’ promiscuity, whether you’re gay or straight, it may feel wonderful, you get a diverse hors dvours sense of tasting of the lights when the moon is full…. But falling in love changes the speedometer.” “I think that promiscuity whets your appetite for more promiscuity. Once you’ve opened those doors, really really wide, it’s really hard to go back and settle for one person.” St. Mary of Egypt and promiscuity. Visiting an older gay man in the hospital who was near death. Chunjay introduces "Bad Haircuts" and misremembers the age of a girl mentioned in the song.   “Bad Haircuts” Demo by Royal Ruckus from Seventeen Candles, free at http://noisetrade.com/royalruckus   Chunjay talks about Samson Society.  Straight men with same-sex attraction. Does bisexuality exist? “Situational homosexuality.” A band-aid. “Some straight men, let’s face it, are so tired of doing what society expects, worshiping and pleasing the woman.” “When you go to situations where there’s no emotional connection, that feeling of let down will easily turn into disgust, because there’s no real human connection. You’ve both used each other as a way to get off. That’s when our higher selves, our spiritual nature, reminds us that we’re not total machines, we’re not sexual robots.” How Thom found his way back to faith in Christ. Considered being a monk or a priest. An experience at a Benedictine monastery. His work as a writer, exploring reincarnation and New Age thinking. The death of a friend.

Important people in Philadelphia. Biography of writer Dominic Dunn. Find Thom Nickels at Philadelphia Magazine online, HuffPost, Icon Magazine, and buy his books at Barnes and Noble or Amazon.
