La Miastenia Gravis es una enfermedad autoinmune y neuromuscular crónica que se origina debido a un desorden en el sistema inmunológico, generando anticuerpos que interfieren con los receptores de los músculos, dañando la conexión entre la sustancia química que circula por las terminaciones nerviosas y los receptores. Esto ocasiona debilidad y mal funcionamiento de los músculos. Esta enfermedad rara puede afectar a personas de cualquier edad, siendo más común en mujeres jóvenes y hombres de edad avanzada.

By his 20s, he was working as a sound designer for Akai, Roland, Emu/Ensoniq, eventually signing on exclusively with the latter. Later, due to a growing demand for software instruments and libraries, Eddie began developing libraries for various software manufacturers, including Native Instruments, Kiesel, Sound Effects Library, Rob Papen, Arturia, and Propellerheads.During this time, he trained in music production. He soon gained several prominent contracts working with some notable artistes such as Busta Rhymes, Greensleeves, 9 Bar, SFP, Sleeveless, Chris Campbell and Gam Productions. He contracted to Island Records and Chrysalis as a producer and remixer, and was commissioned to write the score for Macbeth that ran at 2 Way Mirror at Alexander Palace for the Cambridge Shakespeare Company. This led to him offering educational workshops and classes, and becoming a contributing creator and Forum moderator for Sound On Sound.Recently, he was invited by the Recording Academy to become a professional member, approved educator, and mentor for their member base. Eddie now concentrates on providing private sound design and mixing/production tuition, and creating content for Sound On Sound magazine.https://eddiebazil.co.uk/Catch more shows on our other podcast channels: https://www.soundonsound.com/sos-podcasts

Le succès de Video Killed the Radio Star aurait pu rester un heureux accident, une parenthèse fulgurante dans la carrière d'un musicien de studio, comme c'est arrivé à tant d'autres. Et c'est d'autant plus évident que Trevor Horn n'aime pas sa voix, il ne se voit pas en chanteur, et supporte mal l'exposition de son image. Et logiquement, l'aventure des Buggles ne dure pas.C'est vrai ! Notre tête quand on apprend en 1980 que Trevor Horn et Geoff Downes des Buggles rejoignent le groupe Yes en tant que chanteur et claviériste ! Un épisode aussi improbable que bref. Car très vite, Downes part rejoindre un nouveau groupe, Asia, en plein enregistrement du second album des Buggles. C'est la fin, dommage, il y a des moments d'une intensité et beauté immense dans ce disque ...Et c'est justement en se retrouvant seul aux commandes de ce disque que Trevor Horn découvre le plaisir de ne plus être au premier plan. Il a trouvé mieux : contrôler le son, le modeler, le pousser là où personne n'est encore allé. Et c'est précisément à ce moment-là qu'il croise la route de ABC.Des gars qui viennent des Midlands, comme lui, Sheffield précisément, une Angleterre industrielle en plein marasme. Deux musiciens qui jouent une musique électronique sombre et expérimentale, genre David Bowie et Kraftwerk. Et qui bien sûr reste underground jusqu'au jour où un jeune journaliste de fanzine, Martin Fry, vient les interviewer. Passionné, curieux, et surtout parfaitement en phase avec leurs références, de Roxy Music à Bowie. Il lui ressemble étrangement d'ailleurs, vous ne trouvez pas ? Le courant passe immédiatement. Singleton et White lui proposent de les rejoindre. Martin Fry accepte, et en 1981, Vice Versa devient ABC.Le projet change alors de nature. Là où Vice Versa cultivait le minimalisme robotique, ABC cherche le style, l'élégance, une forme de pop sophistiquée qui emprunte autant au funk qu'à la new wave, comme les Spandau Ballet et les Duran Duran. ABC sort un premier single sur son propre label, qui entre dans le Top 20 britannique et attire l'attention de Trevor Horn.C'est un déclic pour lui car il entend dans ce son non abouti comment s'en emparer pour en faire une redoutable chanson.Et de fait, il ne se contente pas de les produire : il organise leurs chansons comme un architecte, joue avec les ruptures, les contrastes, les effets, introduit des gimmicks sonores qui surgissent et disparaissent, ou une conversation en voix off. Leur musique devient quelque chose de singulier, qu'on ne peut que remarquer : on dirait un décor en mouvement.Et c'est vrai que le premier titre de ABC produit par Trevor Horn ne ressemble à aucune autre chanson de l'époque. Non seulement elle va servir de modèle, ce qui est déjà énorme, mais surtout, la question est : qui aujourd'hui est capable de nous servir trois minutes de chanson avec autant de folie et de précision ?Avec ABC, Trevor Horn a trouvé sa place. Lui qui ne voulait plus être devant un micro est devenu celui qui décide de tout ce qu'on va entendre. Oui, c'est fou, après avoir annoncé les années 80 à la fin de la décennie précédente dans une chanson, Trevor Horn va cette fois leur ouvrir la voie.

The new singer of Spandau Ballet (yep they're still around) got in a lot of trouble AND they're not on this list

After ten another draw - this time against Fulham - Billy “The Bee” Grant and Dave “Laney” Lane are back to break down all the latest Brentford news and look ahead to Monday night's trip to Old Trafford, where the Bees face third-placed Manchester United. They're joined by Andrew from the Cream of Manchester podcast, who offers a Red Devils perspective, while JB returns with his usual mix of Facts and Funk.

On a tous une année de notre jeunesse qui reste ancrée en nous. Et qui est bercée, bien évidemment, par de nombreuses chansons. Tellement qu'on a du mal à discerner si ce sont des événements de notre vie qui sont marqués par des musiques ou bien le contraire. Vous voyez de quoi je parle ?Tenez, si on me posait la question, c'est sans hésitation : 1983. L'année de mes 20 ans, c'est bien plus tard que le classique été de nos 15 ans mais sans doute est-ce la production musicale hors norme qui en est la cause.Car oui, 1983, c'est au moins une centaine de hits sur les 200, 250 qui ont circulé cette année-là, qui sont encore, plus de 40 ans après, connus de tous y compris de ceux nés la décennie suivante, voire dans les années 2000. C'est l'année du Thriller de Michael Jackson avec son train de 45 Tours hallucinants, le triomphe fulgurant de nouveaux groupes comme Culture Club, Eurythmics, Tears for Fears, Spandau Ballet, et celui plus inattendu d'anciens comme David Bowie, Mike Oldfield, ZZ Top, Yes et Lionel Richie. C'est vrai que sous une telle averse, on ne se rendait pas compte que ces nouveaux titres qu'on découvrait à la télé ou sur la bande FM, on allait les écouter à une cadence toujours aussi soutenue 40 ans après. Comment aurait-on pu imaginer ça ? Qui écoutait des chansons des 40 en 1983 ? Et puis, cela serait revenu à dire que ce qui allait sortir par après ne serait plus aussi fort, du moins en de telles quantités. Vraiment, ce n'est pas pour rien que, où qu'on aille en Europe, la musique des années 80 soit toujours aussi présente partout.Oui, 1983 est une année miraculeuse. Tenez, par exemple, le Greg Kihn Band, ça vous dit quelque chose ? C'est typiquement le groupe dont plus personne ne sait rien alors qu'en 1983, tout le monde a entendu ceci : …Et ben, je vais vous dire, ce n'est pas du tout un groupe sorti de nulle part. Greg Kihn, c'est un garçon de Baltimore qui s'installe à San Francisco au milieu des années 70 et monte un groupe qui va faire ce que font des centaines de groupes américains sérieux : tourner, enregistrer, sortir des albums, passer sur les radios FM locales, construire petit à petit un public fidèle. Et pendant des années, le Greg Kihn Band, c'est ça : un bon groupe. Ils sortent disque sur disque sur un label indépendant californien, et finissent même par décrocher un premier succès local en 1981 (The breakup song). Et deux ans plus tard, ils tombent enfin sur la bonne chanson au bon moment. C'est du rock qu'on appelle FM, mais surtout, il arrive avec MTV. Le clip, ce mariage bizarre et un peu absurde, aide en effet énormément.Résultat : Jeopardy monte jusqu'à la 2e place aux États-Unis, son accès à la première place du podium, le tant convoité N°1 du Billboard est en effet bloqué par le légendaire Beat It de Michael Jackson. Pas mal pour un groupe qu'on n'avait jamais vraiment invité à la table des grands.Mais on était en 1983, personne pour s'étonner d'un tube tardif, le jackpot d'un groupe de musiciens qui avaient jusque-là bien appris toutes leurs leçons et fait tous leurs devoirs. La preuve : il résonne encore en 2026 avec une fraîcheur étonnante

This week on The Midpoint we're doing things a little differently. Instead of the usual conversation with one guest, Gabby is joined by one of the most enduring couples in British showbusiness: Martin Kemp and Shirlie Kemp.Martin, best known as the bassist in Spandau Ballet and for his acting career, and Shirlie, former member of the pop duo Pepsi & Shirlie, have spent decades navigating fame, family life and the ups and downs that come with both.In this episode, they talk openly about marriage, loyalty, and what it takes to grow together through life's different chapters. From the intensity of their early pop careers to raising a family in the public eye and facing serious health challenges, Martin and Shirlie reflect on resilience, perspective and the strength that comes from partnership.A warm, honest and often funny conversation about love, longevity and supporting each other through the many midpoints life throws our way. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Send a textMy guest this week on Thrive Solo is British country singer-songwriter, Harley Moon Kemp, who also happens to be the daughter of Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp, and Shirlie Kemp of both Pepsi and Shirlie, and Wham. Harley Moon appeared in last year's Celebrity Race Across The World with her brother, Roman Kemp, and not only did they appear in it, but they won it. I'm sure many of you will have seen it and subsequently heard Harley Moon mention her happily single status. In this episode, Harley Moon and I talk about how she ended up getting into country music in particular and what she loves most about that genre; we talk about how she is absolutely loving single life right now; we talk about how her parents very happy marriage has impacted what she wants and expects from a relationship. We also discuss the shift in the dating scene in her generation, how people are no longer going out to meet people in the way they used to, and how dating as a high profile person can present its own challenges. 02:15 Meet Harley Moon Kemp03:45 Harley Moon's Musical Journey06:00 Discovering Country Music14:47 Embracing Single Life23:49 The Modern Dating Scene31:07 The Inspiration Behind 'My Girls (Love Me Better)'32:45 Reflecting on the song 'I Know What Good Looks Like'35:12 Personal Reflections on Relationships38:43 Living with Intention and Positivity47:29 The Adventure of 'Race Across the World'54:43 Final Thoughts and FarewellFollow Harley Moon on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/harleymoonkempListen to Harley Moon on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7lTrAtvHlfVsJZgXMMR05X Support the showBuy my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Join my membership community for single women, Thrive Solo: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/thrivesolo Download my FREE PDF 'Top 10 Comebacks for the MostAnnoying Questions Single Women Get Asked' Go to: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/comebacks Check out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thrivesolowithlucymeggeson Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=share Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrivesolowithlucymeggeson/ Email me: lucy@lucymeggeson.com And thank you so much for listening!

”Vi spelar SO-lärarmetal. Glasögonormsrock!” Metalbandet Horndal från bruksorten med samma namn har gjort plattor om facklig kamp, nedlagda stålverk och tech-industrins törstiga demoner. Just nu spelar de in ett nytt album som handlar om arbetsplatsolyckor i stålindustrin. Låttitlarna blir i stil med Engulfed in Steel och Drowned in Tar. Brutalt. Horndals batterist Pontus Levahn och brorsan Henrik, textförfattare och sångare, tog en paus från studion för att gästa DJ 50 Spänn. De fick varsin inköpsbudget att spendera på varsitt håll, vilket innebär att det detta avsnitt innehåller dubbelt så många skivor och därmed blir två gånger roligare. Den musikaliska spännvidden är dessutom enorm. Grammofonen snurrar allt från flummig krishnajazz och progressiv kabaretmusik till äkta in-law country och nylonsträngad muzak från Brasilien. Och så testar vi hypnos! Vi pratar om vinnargitarrer, poverty metal, den legendariska Musik för Sex-skivan, jättedyra synth-intron, dubbla baskaggar, groupies som vill prata om postindustriell historia, hur MTV sabbade karriären för gubbar med skägg, hårdrocksdrömmar på Sunset Strip anno 1984, skivgrävarrealism, hängpungsmusik (och annan bluesrock), parnassen i Avesta, den hypnotiserade Ricky Bruchs världsrekord och någonstans i det hela ställs den retoriska frågan: vem skryter idag om sina Spandau Ballet-skivor? Tyvärr plockade en mikrofonkabel upp störningar, så just det här avsnittet låter lite mindre HiFi än vanligt. Men humöret och energin är det inget fel på. Välkomna in! Pontus och Henriks skivor Bethnal – Crash Landing [LP, 1978]Låt: Crash Landing Jim Reeves – Forever [2xLP, 1975]Låt: He’ll Have To Go 3rd Stage Alert – S/T [12″ EP, 1984]Låt: Adagio (For a Dead Soldier) Los Indios di Mayas – Maria Elena [LP, 1973]Låt: Maria Elena Brian Protheroe – Pick-Up [LP, 1975]Låt: Pick-Up Lars-Eric Uneståhl – Hypnos [LP, 1968]Spår: Rökavvänjning J.O.B.

From pharaohs' tombs in Ancient Egypt and medieval currency, to priceless royal jewellery and Spandau Ballet songs - gold has been prized for millennia. But it's only really in the last century or so that we've started uncovering its usefulness in less decorative applications.Today, gold is used in masses of electricals; it's also revolutionised part of the manufacturing sector by stopping a dangerous reliance on mercury as a catalyst; and it's vital to space missions. Although there are also some more frivolous modern uses for gold, as Hannah and Dara discover. (Gold-leaf in your cocktail, anyone?)Challenged to find out whether all the world's mined gold would really fit in an Olympic swimming pool, our science-savvy duo discover that this antisocial element might just be the best darn thing on the periodic table...

In this episode Steve Norman attempts to cut a long story short but the Spandau Ballet legend is a tale that cannot be abridged. We know this much is true.

In this episode we welcome not one but two wonderful guests to RBP Towers. Susan Compo and Derek Ridgers have been trans-Atlantic pals for decades and first met on a FourFourTwo assignment to interview and photograph the L.A.-expats "soccer" team Hollywood United. Starting with Susan's punk years in Southern California, we hear about her memories of seeing the Sex Pistols live in Dallas and Tulsa in January 1978. She also talks about her trip to London the year before, prompting Derek's recall of the punk scene he began photographing at clubs such as Vortex and the Roxy. Derek then rewinds his story to his late '60s days at Ealing School of Art when fellow student Freddie Mercury nicked his girlfriend in a local pub. The conversation oscillates between Susan's reflections on her career move – from music journalism to short stories about star-crossed Goths – and Derek's memories of the New Romantic "movement" he documented so brilliantly in early '80s London. In between clips from John Tobler's 1984 audio interview with Spandau Ballet singer Tony Hadley, Derek talks about his approach to his chosen medium. After touching on Derek's years at Loaded magazine and Susan's terrific books about Warren Oates and David Bowie, we discuss our shared passion for football/"soccer" before paying tribute to Derek's former NME colleague Jack Barron. Jasper then talks us out with quotes from newly-added library pieces about Grandmaster Flash (2000) and Boy George (2024). Many thanks to special guests Susan Compo and Derek Ridgers. Susan's books, include Malingering and David Bowie and The Man Who Fell To Earth are available from all good bookshops. You can visit Derek's website at derekridgers.com and his latest book, Hello, I Love You, is published by IDEA.  Pieces discussed: The Sex Pistols Shoot To The Top, The Cure: Happily Ever After, White Noise/White Sands: The Bowie Who Fell to Earth, Gary Kemp on the RBP podcast, New Romantics, Electro-Disco: Night Moves, Spandau Ballet's Tony Hadley audio, Jack Barron, Nick Cave: The Needle And The Damage Done, The Stone Roses: Bliss This House, Gregory Isaacs: Gregorian Rants, Gong: The Gong Remains The Same, The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash in the Game of Life⁠ and ⁠Boy George⁠.

Miss Heard celebrates Season 7, Episode 320 in this synth-fueled episode, I will revisit Depeche Mode's 1981 classic Just Can't Get Enough and the hilariously misheard lyric: “I just can't get it up.” We dive into the band's early history, the surprising influence of Spandau Ballet, and the song's lasting cultural impact—from football chants to viral charity singles. Plus, we explore how this catchy hit helped launch Depeche Mode into global stardom. It's misheard lyrics, music history, and a touch of synth-pop nostalgia—all in one 30-minute episode!

Writer, filmmaker and co-host of the Box Office GROSS podcast Rob Stammitti joins me from Pittsburgh to begin a miniseries on the UK cult band Prefab Sprout, a critically acclaimed band that sold millions of albums and yet didn't become as huge as they deserved to be. They were hard to categorize, barely toured outside of continental Europe and were somewhat out of step with prevailing trends in popular music in their day and still left behind a fascinating body of work that more people should be aware of.In part one we discuss arriving late to the game in discovering Prefab Sprout and the long shadow Paddy McAloon casts on modern music before returning to the origin story in County Durham, England, their attention-getting early singles and then track-by-track on their 1984 debut LP Swoon (Songs Written Out Of Necessity). McAloon throws down the gauntlet here, combining post-punk with Bacharach and Broadway influences to create a stunning set at odds with the commercial trends of the era, songs about hard-to-express emotions presented in complex arrangements, which also served as a portrait of the artist as a young man and his declaration of intent, which included projecting an insane youthful self-confidence in his own greatness and great scorn for his contemporaries, wanting to be compared to Sondheim, not Spandau Ballet.Along the way we discuss the importance of Wendy Smith's voice, the Steely Dan factor, Paddy's “Shots Fired” diss tracks, and some of our favourite moments from Swoon that we hope will Sproutpill the uninitiated.Follow Rob Stammitti on Bluesky, subscribe to his Substack, visit his YouTube page and listen to his podcast with Brian Schmid, Box Office GROSS.“Side by Side with Sondheim – Swoon and the Great American Musical”, from the Sproutology website, a great resource for the Sproutpilled.Music video for Don't Sing, Prefab Sprout, 1984

London's Blitz club in 1980 had a huge impact on the way the decade looked and sounded, the launchpad for Boy George, Spandau Ballet, a new age of electro-pop and many writers, designers and photographers. The author and broadcaster Robert Elms was one of its cornerstones, “a place for people who'd outgrown the 20th Century”. We talk here about his book ‘Blitz: the Club That Created the ‘80s' with all of this on the dancefloor … … the Blitz Club rules, “unspoken until Steve Strange spoke them”. And the door policy: “Look at yourself, darling. Would YOU let yourself in?” … first nights “with a Space Cossack shirt and asymmetric wedge” and the origin of the term New Romantic … the rise of the “home-made Macaronis” (dictionary definition: “over-dressed popinjays of dubious sexuality”) … Bowie's Starman, Roxy, soul, disco, Weimar, Max Ernst, Otto Dix, Edith Piaf, Swinging London, Andy Warhol and other keys strands of Blitz DNA … its anti-rock stance and impact on the mid-‘80s American charts … the news-friendly night Mick Jagger was barred entry … “I was spat at by an old lady at a bus stop for wearing eyeliner and a kilt” … when Island offered Spandau a deal after just three numbers … the role of the Face, Smash Hits and the new full-colour media … the author's “dilettante” passage through skinhead, suedehead, soul boy and punk … and the night Bowie appeared, “like Jesus walking into your local church and sitting in a pew”.

Gary Kemp, whose career highlights as a musician and actor include writing Spandau Ballet's seminal hit "True," tells us about about the time David Bowie almost made Gary's son late for a playdate; going on a bender with Duran Duran the night before the 1984 Band Aid recording session: and why he and his old mate, Def Leppard's Joe Elliott, charted different musical paths even though they were fans of the same bands. In this short VIDEO, Gary muses on why Joe Elliott didn't laugh when they watched This Is Spinal Tap together. Might it have hit a little too close to home???

In this episode of My Music, I sit down with singer-songwriter Alan Dreezer to explore his journey through music, influence, and resilience.From supporting Brother Beyond and recording at Abbey Road, to making a limousine entrance that left headliners in a Ford Sierra staring in disbelief, Alan shares the unforgettable highs of his career. We also dive into the deep challenges, including personal tragedy, and how the unshakable pull of songwriting brought him back stronger than ever.Alan talks openly about the influence of George Michael, Spandau Ballet, and 80s icons, the importance of really listening to music in today's fast-paced world, and how nostalgia for record shops and vinyl still fuels his passion. He also reveals how one track called Unknown unexpectedly became a game-changer through a sync deal years after its release.This is a conversation about creativity, loss, resilience, and rediscovering joy through music — plus a reminder of why we should slow down and actually listen.

By his 20s, he was working as a sound designer for Akai, Roland, Emu/Ensoniq, eventually signing on exclusively with the latter. Later, due to a growing demand for software instruments and libraries, Eddie began developing libraries for various software manufacturers, including Native Instruments, Kiesel, Sound Effects Library, Rob Papen, Arturia, and Propellerheads.During this time, he trained in music production. He soon gained several prominent contracts working with some notable artistes such as Busta Rhymes, Greensleeves, 9 Bar, SFP, Sleeveless, Chris Campbell and Gam Productions. He contracted to Island Records and Chrysalis as a producer and remixer, and was commissioned to write the score for Macbeth that ran at 2 Way Mirror at Alexander Palace for the Cambridge Shakespeare Company. This led to him offering educational workshops and classes, and becoming a contributing creator and Forum moderator for Sound On Sound.Recently, he was invited by the Recording Academy to become a professional member, approved educator, and mentor for their member base. Eddie now concentrates on providing private sound design and mixing/production tuition, and creating content for Sound On Sound magazine.https://eddiebazil.co.uk/Catch more shows on our other podcast channels: https://www.soundonsound.com/sos-podcasts

By his 20s he was working as a sound designer for Akai, Roland Emu/Ensoniq, eventually signing on exclusively with the latter. Later, due to a growing demand for software instruments and libraries, Eddie started to develop libraries for various software manufacturers, including Native Instruments, Kiesel, Sound Effects Library, Arturia and Propellerheads. A meeting with Phil Allen, a Capital Radio DJ, resulted in the company Samplecraze, which Eddie has spent 20 years developing as an educational resource. At this time he trained in music production and soon gained a number of prominent contracts working with some notable artistes such as Busta Rhymes, Greensleeves, 9 Bar, SFP, Sleeveless, Chris Campbell and Gam Productions. He contracted to Island Records and Chrysalis as a producer and remixer,  plus was commissioned to write the score for Macbeth that ran at 2 Way Mirror at Alexander Palace for the Cambridge Shakespeare Company. His ongoing development of Samplecraze has led to him offering educational workshops and classes, releasing four books via PC Publishing and becoming a contributor and forum moderator for Sound On Sound.
