Send us a textChristian, the lead singer and bassist for The Ritualists, stops by the show to discuss bass playing, the new album Too Pure to Cure, cooking, history, and more.*****NYC-based The Ritualists' upcoming album, Too Pure To Cure (out now) is a trip. Produced and mixed by GRAMMY-winner Mario J McNulty (David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails, Prince), the album is packed with the band's signature mix of goth, glam, and modern rock, all wrapped up in their larger-than-life energy.Following their darkly danceable single "You Know Better", the band has recently released "The Wake" —a soaring, synth-heavy anthem inspired by classic ‘80s dark fantasy films (The NeverEnding Story, anyone?) and the shimmering hooks of the New Romantic era. Frontman Christian Dryden describes it as a reflection on childhood, resilience, and the ability to pull oneself out of tough situations. And it's already earned praise from The NeverEnding Story theme song's own (and fellow Reybee client) Limahl, who says:"I really like this—a little surreal, very melodic and with a video that has a classic early '80s vibe. The chorus asks, ‘Whoever wakes up?' — well, I just did, to The Ritualists!" Tracks on the album range from "King of Air," a surrealist reflection on feeling misunderstood, to "Every Thread," which juxtaposes cosmic insignificance with the universal pangs of love and envy. And of course, there's the title track, "Too Pure to Cure," which lead vocalist/songwriter Christian Dryden describes as less of a protest and more of a shoulder shrug—it's a declaration of knowing who you are and refusing to be “cured” of it. The Ritualists are Christian Dryden (vocals, bass), Jeffrey Andrew (keyboards), David Andreana (guitars), and Eric Kuby (drums). Too Pure To Cure is available on all streaming platforms today. *****If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comUpcoming guests can be found: https://dmneedom.com/upcoming-guest Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

In this episode, we're joined by Christian Dryden of the New York-based band, The Ritualists.Emerging from the underground glam scene in NYC's East Village, The Ritualists have become a key player in the Lower East Side music scene, a community that deeply influenced Dryden's musical vision. Immersed in a world that draws inspiration from icons like The Velvet Underground and New York Dolls, as well as British glam rock, Dryden's sound blends these influences with his own contemporary twist. Reflecting on his musical journey, Dryden shares, "Being inspired by larger-than-life figures like David Bowie, Simon Le Bon, Bryan Ferry, and Marc Bolan was both a gift and a challenge. While it was transformative to imagine these legends as musical soulmates, it also brought a sense of loneliness, as I felt like I was the only one with that vision... until I discovered the venues and clubs of the Lower East Side."MusicThe Ritualists "Wake Up"Additional MusicThe Charms "So PrettyThe Dogmatics "I Love Rock N Roll"Produced and Hosted by Steev Riccardo

The Ritualists : 'You Know Better' Rocks" Review by Grant Crossan "Get ready to groove with The Ritualists' latest single, "You Know Better"! This NYC-based band brings a British flair with their Franz Ferdinand-esque rhythm, The Cult-inspired guitars, and glam vocals reminiscent of Brian Molko & Brett Anderson. Co-produced by Mario McNulty (David Bowie, Prince), their upcoming album "Too Pure to Cure" is set to electrify the scene. Simon Le Bon calls them "pure new romantic psychedelia" - and we can't agree more! #TheRitualists #TooPureToCure #YouKnowBetter" https://youtu.be/aS_la8bQKaw Brutally Delicious Podcast#thebrutallydeliciouspodcast #brutallydelicious #britrock #theritualists #heavymetal #heavymetalmusic #newmusicreview #toopuretocure #NowPlaying #foryourpageシ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode — recorded on the somewhat sombre Wednesday after the U.S. elections — we welcome the wonderful Beverley Glick to our Hammersmith lair and ask her about her New Romantic nom de plume Betty Page. Beverley tells us about her early days on Sounds, where she started out as editor Alan Lewis' secretary, and talks us through her seminal 1980 encounters with Spandau Ballet and Steve Strange. Her subsequent early interview with Duran Duran leads us to clips from David Keeps' 1993 audio interview with the Brummie band's frontman Simon Le Bon. After touching briefly on Depeche Mode, whom Beverley also interviewed very early on, our guest revisits the short-lived Noise! — Sounds' very own attempt at "doing" a Smash Hits — and recounts her subsequent path to the editorship of the rather longer-standing Record Mirror. Memories of mad moments with Happy Mondays (for Vox), and Beverley's eventual graduation to national newspapers, take us to her decision to forsake journalism for a career as a life coach specialising in "leadership communication" — and as the author of this year's In Your Own Words. A few glum thoughts on the political distortion of words such as "freedom" segue into our homage to the brilliant and outrageous Quincy Jones. Mark then quotes from newly-added library pieces about the Who (1965) and Ronnie Scott (1979)... and Jasper wraps up the episode with his thoughts on articles about "Brazilian Prince" Ed Motta (2006) and Tricky's magnificent Maxinquaye (2023).

Luego de la forzosa eliminación en el segundo episodio de UK6, presenciamos los latigazos y consecuencias del drama entre las costureras, que se complementa con un reto de actuación donde las queens debían protagonizar comedias románticas inglesas de antaño, que tuvieron tantas referencias que en algunos momentos terminaron siendo caóticas. En un capítulo cargado de emotivas confesiones, tuvimos una pasarela que -en presencia del iconic Simon Le Bon de Duran Duran- nos vino a enseñar sobre el “nuevo romanticismo” y cómo las queens interpretaron la categoría. ¿Cómo quedaste con el palabreo gratuito de la Dita a la Zahirah? ¿Se sorprendió la primera eliminada “oficial” de la season? ¿Qué opinamos del lipsync de “Girls on Film”?

Welcome to Dem Vinyl Boyz, where we're about to set sail on a sonic yacht-rock adventure with Duran Duran and their iconic album, "Rio." Released in 1982, this is not just an album; it's a voyage into the sleek, glamorous world of the New Romantics. "Rio" is a dazzling array of new wave brilliance. From the infectious groove of the title track to the anthemic "Hungry Like the Wolf," Duran Duran's second studio album is a testament to their ability to blend catchy pop hooks with sophisticated production. The album is a sonic journey that captures the essence of the early '80s, from the danceable rhythms to the synth-driven melodies. Simon Le Bon's distinctive vocals, paired with the band's stylish image, created a potent combination that made them global superstars. Beyond the music, Duran Duran's impact on the '80s music and fashion scene is immeasurable. "Rio" is not just an album; it's a cultural touchstone that defined the New Romantic movement, influencing everything from music videos to fashion runways. "Rio" is a celebration of allure. Tracks like "Save a Prayer" and "New Religion" showcase Duran Duran's ability to infuse their new wave sound with emotional depth and complexity. The album's lush production, courtesy of Colin Thurston, creates a sonic landscape that feels both futuristic and timeless. As we place the needle on the vinyl, we invite you to join us in exploring the allure of "Rio." We'll delve into the album's impact on the '80s music scene, the cultural significance of Duran Duran, and the legacy of an album that remains a glittering gem in the crown of new wave. So, sit back and let the shimmering beats of "Rio" transport you to a time when the music was as vibrant as the fashion, and every note carried the allure of a sonic adventure

“Glastonbury, I want to play Glastonbury… and it's got to be the pyramid stage.” Simon Le Bon tells Nihal about what he loves about being in a band, how to manage being a rock star and having some sort of balance in life… and the things he still wants to accomplish with Duran Duran.

To mark Halloween, Duran Duran have released Danse Macabre, a “spooky concept” album. Samira talks to Simon Le Bon and John Taylor about working with Nile Rogers, covering The Specials' Ghost Town and taking pop music seriously. This evening Filkin's Drift play the last of almost 50 concerts, concluding their two month that has seen them travel 870 miles…on foot. The duo has walked from gig to gig, carrying their instruments. As they reach Chepstow they tell Samira about their approach to sustainable touring and how this connects with ancient Welsh bardic tradition. Born in 1923, the artist Dobrivoje Beljkasic found refuge in Bristol after the outbreak of the Bosnian War. His daughter Dee Smart and author Priscilla Morris celebrate his life and legacy on the centenary of his birth, marked by a new exhibition in Sarajevo. George Orwell's seminal Nineteen Eighty-Four continues to occupy a lauded, and sometimes controversial, position in political discourse and popular culture three-quarters of a century after it was first written. Sandra Newman discusses reimagining the story from the perspective of Winston Smith's underwritten lover in her new novel, Julia.

The huge band from the 80s are back with a brand new Halloween themed album, released on Simon Le Bon's 65th birthday.

7 WAYS TO HELP YOU BE UNIQUE Podcasting is growing by leaps and bounds everyday. There are so many podcasts in your niche. That makes it even more critical for your podcast to be unique. If you want to stand out in the sea of sameness, there are a few things you can do that are easy to implement to make you special. WHY BE UNIQUE In the era of artificial intelligence, you can't afford to be information alone. AI can easily reproduce your information. AI cannot copy you, your story and your personality. A fews day ago we took a roadtrip to see Duran Duran in concert. It was the opportunity for my wife to cross off one of her bucket list bands. They put on an amazing show. Nile Rodgers and Chic opened the show. Bastille was the middle act. Then, Duran Duran brought down the house. It was fantastic. Duran Duran started as a band in the Birmingham, England in 1978 with Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Stephen Duffy. They struggled for a few years as Stephen left the band. Seven others came in and out of the band until they found the five that would become the famous Duran Duran as most know it. Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Roger Taylor, and Andy Taylor. They were part of a scene known as the New Romatic movement. It was a musical movement influenced by David Bowie, Marc Bolan and Roxy Music. The New Romantic movement developed fashions inspired by the glam rock era coupled with the early Romantic period of the late 18th and early 19th century. Bands emerging from the New Romantic movement included Spandau Ballet, A Flock of Seagulls, Boy George, and Classix Nouveaux. Though they had success in the U.K., Spandau Ballet and A Flock of Seagulls both only had one big hit in the U.S. Classix Nouveau were hardly known. On the other hand, Duran Duran and Boy George had numerous hits. Duran Duran had 13 songs that hit the Top 20 in the U.S. and many others that cracked the Top 40. DURAN DURAN So what set Duran Duran apart from the rest of the New Romantics? The band learned how to be unique better and unlike any other group. They had John Taylor, Andy Taylor and Roger Taylor in the band. However, none of the three were related, which made a great conversation piece. Nick and Simon were both heartthrobs who wore makeup and fashion epitomizing the style of the New Romantics. They were interesting, gave great interviews, created unique music, and influenced a style in the 80s unmatched by other bands. They wrote and recorded "A View To A Kill" to be the title track of the James Bond film of the same name. It was the first Bond theme to hit number one on the U.S. charts. Duran Duran created fantastic videos to usher in the age of MTV. The iconic videos for "Rio", "Girls on Film" and "Hungry Like the Wolf" were masterpieces in heavy rotation on MTV and still remembered today. Their popularity was demonstrated by the thousands of people singing every note to their songs nearly 40 years after they were released. It was one big party from start to end. You can take seven fundamental lessons from Duran Duran to help you be unique. These fundamentals will help you create raving fans rather than being a one-hit wonder. BE YOURSELF First, to be unique, be yourself. Be authentic. Only you can be you. If you try to fit in, you'll blend in. You won't get noticed. Don't simply copy somebody else. Blaze your own path. Infuse your content with your personality. Nobody can copy you. Duran Duran blazed the way for the New Romantic movement. Their style was unique. The music was original. Simon Le Bon came out of art school straight into the band and it showed. STORIES Next, incorporate your story into your podcast. People love a good story. More importantly, they love a true story. It is authentic and original. Listeners will learn about you with stories. Your stories define your character. They help your audience get to know who you are, what you're about, and what you value. Stories breed friendships. Think of your best friend. How much do you know about your best friend? You know everything, because your best friend tells you everything. They tell you every great story that happens in their life. Relationships derive from revelation. The more you reveal about yourself, the more your listener gets to know you. That's how friendships are formed. TELL THE TRUTH The third fundamental to be authentic is to tell the truth. Honesty fosters relationships. When your listeners learn they can count on you, they discover they can trust you. If you say you will post something on Wednesday, post it on Wednesday. Little deposits in your trust account will go a long way when you tell the truth consistently. Members of Duran Duran left the band, rejoined the band, left the band and rejoined again. They were always upfront with their fans. Andy Taylor joined the band in 1980. He left in 1986 before coming back in 2001. Andy left again in 2006. In 2022, Duran Duran was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The remaining four were there to accept, while Simon Le Bon read a letter from an absent Andy Taylor. The letter revealed Andy was battling prostate cancer. Earlier this year, the band announced they are working on a new project that will include a collaboration with Andy Taylor. They are always authentically truthful and their fans love them for that. BE TRUE TO YOURSELF You can be unique when you stick to your beliefs. Be true to yourself. It is impossible to consistently be something you're not. Trying to be like somebody else will eventually fall apart. It is hard to fake it without tripping up. Your listeners will see through it. Be proud of your features and your flaws. These all combine to make you the unique person you are. Nobody can duplicate your unique combination of qualities. Even during the tough times of the early 90s when grunge and hip hop were taking over, Duran Duran stuck to their mod dance style. They had a drought of four years without reaching the Top 40 chart in the U.S., but they kept true to themselves. It paid off when they hit #3 in 1993 with "Ordinary World" and #7 with "Come Undone". The band has a powerful fan base, because their fans know exactly what they are going to get at every show. PERSONAL STYLE The fifth fundamental to be unique is to use your personal style. To make your show unique, add your personal style. Duran Duran had their fashion. They had their hair, eye liner, ruffles. They had a swagger unlike any other. Do it in a way that only you can do it. Not a made up way. Your unique way. HAVE FUN Like the party Duran Duran put on, have fun. When you have fun, everybody has fun. You attract the right crowd. People don't simply want info, they want entertainment. They are here to get away from life for awhile. Help them do that. It is much more fun to learn when the content is entertaining. Don't be so serious. Lighten up and have a good time. BE MEMORABLE Finally, be unique by being memorable. Make them remember you. Own your category. When your listeners think of your category, they think of you. That happens when your niche is focused. It is nearly impossible to own the "business" category. However, you could own the "bookkeeper for solopreneurs" category. Get focused. Then, get listeners to talk about you. You don't want listeners to casually listen then go away. It is hard to monetize your activities if you are not top-of-mind. Most marketing is focused on top-of-mind awareness and a strong call to action. Your call to action is powerfully effective when you are the first one that comes to mind. When Duran Duran hit the scene, nobody said, "Boy, they sound like Band X." Even though they were inspired by David Bowie and Roxy Music, they sounded different. You can hear David Bowie singing "Wild Boys" or "Notorious". The band knew who they were and stuck to their niche to be memorable. BE UNIQUE THIS WEEK This week, I'd love to see you review two of your episodes. See how many of these fundamentals are present in your podcast. Find one personal story to include in your next podcast. Do one thing in a way only you can do it and make it memorable. Then, let me know how it goes. Email me. And if you have a chance, catch Duran Duran next time they are close. You'll have one incredible night that you will be talking about for years.

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got a pair of fantastic musicians who've been intimately involved with each other's lives and work for the past decade and a half: Cate Le Bon and Huw Evans. Le Bon and Evans each have their own incredible discographies that wouldn't have been the same without the other: They're not in a band together, but each has been a key component of the other's work over the years, starting when they were young and romantically involved. Though they're no longer in a relationship, they're still a huge part of each other's lives. And as you'll hear in this conversation, they like to give each other shit—to the point where while recording I wasn't sure if there was some real hostility happening. (There wasn't.) Evans records under the name H. Hawkline, and this week he'll release his fifth album, Milk For Flowers. It's his most personal and intense yet, though strong emotions remain shrouded in what he once called “strange pop.” Hawkline first found a bit of fame in his and Le Bon's native Wales as a TV presenter, but found his musical voice with a unique blend of classic-sounding songwriting flecked with psychedelic and folk influences. He's worked with Tim Presley of White Fence a bunch; as you'll hear, Presley even played a pivotal non-musical role in the creation of Milk For Flowers. Le Bon produced it, helping to shepherd some intense feelings onto tape. Here's the title track. Evans was there right at the start of Le Bon's career, as you'll hear in this chat: They were living together, and he convinced her to start playing her otherworldly songs outside of their house. He even had to come up with her stage name in order to create a flyer: What may or may not have been a reference to Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon stuck. The two eventually moved to Los Angeles together and continued making music: Le Bon has amassed an unforgettable discography—you know immediately when you hear her music. (Jeff Tweedy once said he could always tell when it was Le Bon playing guitar, which sounds like a compliment to me.) Le Bon's latest album is last year's Pompeii, a grand, height-of-the-pandemic record that feels like an amazing high-wire act, with saxophone, clarinet, and synthesizers all complementing her voice, guitar, and bass. And it's a matter of some debate, as you'll hear, whether Evans contributed any bass as well. Check out “Remembering Me” from Pompeii. In addition to giving each other grief about song titles and bass parts, the two talk about their history together, about how Le Bon narrowly avoided recording a song that sounded like Jane's Addiction, their different writing styles, and about how the story of Le Bon's first gig was like “a shit indie film.” Enjoy.

Janice Dickinson steps Behind The Rope. Let me repeat that. Janice Dickinson. Icon. Living Legend in the Flesh. The World's First Supermodel. The Simon Cowell of America's Next Top Model. Reality TV veteran from before reality TV was reality TV a la Oxygen's “The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency”. In true Janice fashion, she - DOES - NOT - HOLD - BACK! Of course, we begin with a chat about Janice's early career where we talk about her then Supermodel colleagues Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss and last, but certainly not least, Tyra Banks and the many men in her life for a moment, a moment plus, or what could have been a moment, Mick Jagger, Sylvester Stallone, Simon Le Bon. Speaking of Tyra Banks, Janice was front and center for the first many cycles of the juggernaut hit “America's Next Top Model” as the most outspoken judge. Notoriously anti-plus size model, Janice has never shied away from controversy or speaking her mind. Janice opens up about how she clashed with Tyra, discusses Tyra's notoriously bad on set behavior and is kind enough, we asked, ok begged, to reveal secrets from behind the scenes of filming. As often happens here Behind The Rope, all roads lead to Housewives or, in this case, Housewives offspring and Kardashians. Janice shares her opinions on the current modeling industry and models like Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Delilah Belle Hamlin, Bella Hadid, Amelia Gray Hamlin, Hailey Baldwin and Kaia Gerber - how do they compare to the Icons of yesteryear and have they earned, or instead bought, their way in with money and / or a famous last name. We also address the current “influencer”, for lack of a better word, culture and how anyone with abs and a great pair of t*ts can be insta-famous. While we had Janice, and lucky we are to have been graced by the presence of royalty, we had to ask about her current relationship with Tyra and if she feels differently all these years later. We also pay homage to all, and we mean all, those other Reality TV shows she has been a part of: Botched!, Celebrity Big Brother, I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and The Surreal Life.  @janicedickinson @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ALLBIRDS - www.allbirds.com (Get Running Today with the Tree Flyer or Any Other Allbirds Products) RADIX REMEDIES - www.radixremedies.com (15% off Plus Free Shipping On Orders Over $35.

Janice Dickinson steps Behind The Rope. Let me repeat that. Janice Dickinson. Icon. Living Legend in the Flesh. The World's First Supermodel. The Simon Cowell of America's Next Top Model. Reality TV veteran from before reality TV was reality TV a la Oxygen's “The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency”. In true Janice fashion, she - DOES - NOT - HOLD - BACK! Of course, we begin with a chat about Janice's early career where we talk about her then Supermodel colleagues Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss and last, but certainly not least, Tyra Banks and the many men in her life for a moment, a moment plus, or what could have been a moment, Mick Jagger, Sylvester Stallone, Simon Le Bon. Speaking of Tyra Banks, Janice was front and center for the first many cycles of the juggernaut hit “America's Next Top Model” as the most outspoken judge. Notoriously anti-plus size model, Janice has never shied away from controversy or speaking her mind. Janice opens up about how she clashed with Tyra, discusses Tyra's notoriously bad on set behavior and is kind enough, we asked, ok begged, to reveal secrets from behind the scenes of filming. As often happens here Behind The Rope, all roads lead to Housewives or, in this case, Housewives offspring and Kardashians. Janice shares her opinions on the current modeling industry and models like Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Delilah Belle Hamlin, Bella Hadid, Amelia Gray Hamlin, Hailey Baldwin and Kaia Gerber - how do they compare to the Icons of yesteryear and have they earned, or instead bought, their way in with money and / or a famous last name. We also address the current “influencer”, for lack of a better word, culture and how anyone with abs and a great pair of t*ts can be insta-famous. While we had Janice, and lucky we are to have been graced by the presence of royalty, we had to ask about her current relationship with Tyra and if she feels differently all these years later. We also pay homage to all, and we mean all, those other Reality TV shows she has been a part of: Botched!, Celebrity Big Brother, I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and The Surreal Life. Did we mention the whole reason Janice was here was thanks to her good friends, literary agent Alan Nevins and celebrity chef Joey Santos. Not only do these guys know Janice well, they know everyone, and we mean everyone, in Hollywood and are talking about it on their stellar new Podcast aptly titled, “Two Guys From Hollywood”. On their Pod, they don't dish, they serve. Literally, they serve food and drinks (thank you Joey) to their guests each week while they unpack never before heard tidbits from some of the entertainment business finest including, but not limited to, our BFFs from across the river Margaret Josephs and Dolores Catania and, well, yours truly (yup Behind The Velvet Rope appeared last week! - feel free to check it out). Thanks boys for all, especially for delivering Icon in the Flesh Miss Janice Dickinson Behind The Rope. Oh, and the best part of this foursome?
