In this episode of Seeing Them Live, Charles sits down with Ben Daughtry and Jonathan Palmer of Love Jones — the Louisville-born, LA-based band that has been crafting their unique blend of lounge, soul, pop, and sharp-witted storytelling for over three decades. The conversation kicks off with a shared love of live music, as both Ben and Jonathan trace their concert-going roots back to the same unlikely starting point: Van Halen. Ben recalls sneaking into a show at 14, way too young to be there, watching a then-unknown Van Halen open for Black Sabbath and feeling like "a bomb going off." Jonathan recounts his own Van Halen baptism at Freedom Hall in Louisville on the Women and Children First Invasion Tour — complete with $7.50 festival seating and his mother taking notes in the stands. From there, the episode becomes a wide-ranging tour through decades of live music obsession. The guys swap stories about Ted Nugent crowd surges, jumping on stage with GWAR in New Orleans, playing congas with Tool at an early Lollapalooza, and watching Rage Against the Machine move 60,000 people. Jonathan shares privileged industry moments — seeing The Rolling Stones at a 600-capacity room in New York alongside Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz, and Questlove, and catching Nine-Inch Nails at The Troubadour when they felt "too big for the building." The conversation is fueled by genuine enthusiasm, with each story triggering another in a kind of joyful avalanche of rock and roll memory. The second half of the episode turns to the band's own story — from their residency at Largo on Fairfax, where David Bowie once sat quietly in a booth and Tool's crew became regulars, to their unexpected appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon celebrating the 25th anniversary of their debut album Here's to the Losers. Charles and the guys dig into the Cocktail Nation moment of the '90s, the making of their new album The Greatest Show on Earth — written during COVID jam sessions in a Louisville warehouse with crickets chirping and trains passing — and the cinematic, Gil Evans-influenced sound that ties its six expansive tracks together. The episode closes with the band expressing hope to get back on the road, a shout-out to their partnership with Whiskey Thief Distillery, and a tease of possible activity around the 30th anniversary of the film Swingers, on whose soundtrack Love Jones famously appeared. BANDS: Adele, B-52s, Beastie Boys, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Black Sabbath, Chicago, Combustible Edison, Devo, Earth Wind & Fire, Fishbone, Foo Fighters, GWAR, James Brown, Led Zeppelin, Love Jones, Metallica, Metric, Molly Hatchet, Morphine, Nine Inch Nails, Oasis, Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rolling Stones, Sea and Cake, Steely Dan, Supertramp, Ted Nugent, The Cars, The Cocktails, Tool, Tortoise, Van Halen, ZZ Top.

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks—the podcast where host James Andrew Cox battles depression with the healing power of song. In today's episode, James sits down with New Jersey‑born singer‑songwriter Greg Amici, a musician who literally sang his way out of a 16‑year silence after a vocal‑cord injury forced him off the stage.Greg shares the story of his early love for vinyl classics—from Steely Dan and The Who to XTC and The Kinks—how those influences shaped his own witty, heart‑on‑sleeve style, and why he calls his breakthrough solo record Tragicomic “lyrics first, tragedy meets comedy.” Listeners will hear behind‑the‑scenes tales of the NJ/NY underground scene, the eye‑opening moment he discovered a polyp on his vocal cord, the long road back to CMJ, and the creative process behind his standout track “Girl Next Door.”From nostalgic debates about Beatles vs. Stones to a lightning‑round of coffee vs. tea, the conversation stays candid, funny, and deeply personal—exactly the kind of musical therapy James promised. Whether you're a DIY artist, a longtime fan, or simply looking for a reminder that music can pull you through the darkest chapters, this episode delivers inspiration, humor, and a fresh look at what it means to keep singing when words fall short.Stay tuned, press play, and let Greg's story remind you: music is the one aspect of life that keeps us wanting to live as long as we can.

From improv stages to some of the most beloved comedies of the last two decades, Wendi McLendon-Covey joins Media Path for a lively, laugh-infused conversation about finding and trusting her voice.Wendi looks back on her Groundlings run where she honed fearless comedic instincts and created characters that would define her career. Though she always knew she wanted to perform, it took time, and a leap of courage for her to fully pursue it. While holding down a full time job, she signed up for a bunny slope Groundlings class called “Fun Shop” and stayed for ten years, moving all the way up to seven years in the main company!.She shares behind-the-scenes Reno 911 deep dish! like how she created “Clementine Johnson” (based on a Groundlings character who was based on her real-life aunt) and the back stories behind iconic moments like the drunk catwalk and her Ill-fated “lottery win.”Wendi's favorite Reno 911 movie iteration is The Search For QAnon which was shot on The Queen Mary during the pandemic. And ghosts being vaccinated by death, the ship was still haunted!A Steely Dan fangirl, Wendi recounts how a storyline revealing her Clementine as a groupie led to an unexpected real-life live show invitation, and an onstage shoutout from Walter Becker! The conversation inevitably turns to The Goldbergs set, where a decade-long run fostered deep bonds among the cast. Wendi reflects on what she misses most, shares what it was like to meet the real Beverly Goldberg, and offers memorable stories about The Goldbergs' beloved George Segal.Now starring in St. Denis Medical, Wendi tells us how she embraced the role of Joyce and reflects on her career's ongoing evolution. She also credits her husband Greg as a constant source of support and encouragement throughout her journey.And we learn how Wendi has lent her impeccable comic skill and timing to some beloved and feel-good favorites in a memorable round of IMDB Roulette!Plus, in a perfect Wendi moment, the episode wraps with a roll call of her eight cats!And in current media recommendations, Lisa and Weezy discuss the Netflix comedy competition series, Funny AF with Kevin Hart.Path Points of Interest:Wendi McLendon-Covey on InstagramWendi McLendon-Covey on WikipediaWendi McLendon-Covey on IMDBSt. Denis MedicalFunny AF with Kevin Hart

On its 50th anniversary, we take a track-by-track look at The Royal Scam, Steely Dan's dark and guitar-driven portrait of ambition, illusion, and failed dreams. From “Kid Charlemagne” to the title track, it's an album where every escape comes with a price.

In 1979, Sister Sledge changed the sound of wedding receptions forever with “We Are Family.” Believe it or not, the Chic-penned banger never made it to No. 1. Steely Dan helped invent Yacht Rock with 1977's jazzy bop “Peg.” (They would have loved it better if it had cracked the Top 10.) And in 1972, Elton John told a timeless tale of a blue-jean baby, a “Tiny Dancer.” Casey Kasem never counted it down.Today on Hit Parade: Chris Molanphy celebrates “near misses”—now-ubiquitous hits that missed the mark on the pop charts, stalling out at No. 2, No. 11, or No. 41. In this episode, Chris zooms in on near-misses from the 1970s, including songs from Paul McCartney, the Spinners, Jackson Browne, Cat Stevens, Diana Ross, and Michael Jackson.

On connaît tous le nom du chanteur des Rolling Stones, Queen, Indochine. Et parfois, de tous les membres, jusqu'au batteur. Et puis, il y en a dont on connaît un tas de chansons, qui nous ont accompagné de leurs hits pendant une, voire deux, trois décennies, et pourtant on ignore tout de leurs membres, jusqu'à leur nom.Ah si ! Tenez, il y en a même dont on ne connaît pas le visage. Si je vous dis Toto, Hold the line, Rosanna, Africa, etc. Mis à part les fans, bien sûr. Qui pourrait reconnaître leur chanteur, Bobby Kimball, … ben personne. Je m'en suis rendu compte, le soir où il y a bien longtemps, j'allais dîner avec lui dans un restaurant connu de Bruxelles, et ben ils n'ont pas voulu croire que c'était lui. Dans le doute, on vous apporte quand même le livre d'or, a dit le chef de salle, ça l'a bien fait marrer, Bobby.Son histoire commence au Texas. Bobby a grandi dans une famille très religieuse. Il galère pas mal dans des petits groupes, petits concerts locaux. Puis comme des milliers d'autres musiciens à l'époque, il débarque à Los Angeles avec une seule idée : réussir avant d'être obligé de rentrer dans son Texas natal.Et c'est là qu'il rencontre un groupe de musiciens de studios. Des types capables d'enregistrer avec Steely Dan ou Michael Jackson pendant la journée, pour faire bouillir la marmite, puis en rentrant, brûlés par leur passion pour la musique, ils travaillent sur leurs propres morceaux.Ces mecs ont tout : les musiques, les arrangements, les idées mais il leur manque une voix capable de faire passer la vitesse supérieure à leur belle mécanique. Et voilà que Bobby Kimball arrive avec ce qui leur manque encore : le feu. Le désordre, l'énergie, la chaleur humaine qui donne à leur musique, une âme.Mais comme souvent avec les groupes immenses de ces années bénies, l'histoire se complique avec le succès, les tournées gigantesques et la pression incessante. Drogue, alcool, fatigue, bagarres, Bobby Kimball quitte Toto une première fois au milieu des années 1980.Et si le groupe continue à avoir du succès, quelque chose manque. Sa voix. Alors il revient. Puis repart encore. Puis revient de nouveau. Une histoire de séparations impossibles, comme certains vieux couples du rock qui passent leur temps à divorcer avant de se retrouver.Le plus étonnant, finalement, c'est que malgré les millions de disques vendus, Bobby Kimball soit resté un visage discret dans l'histoire de la pop. Juste un chanteur. Un type dont des millions de gens reconnaissent immédiatement la voix sans rien savoir de lui.

Part 1 of my conversation with guest Phil Stacey as we discuss our favorite guitar solos. Show notes: Occasional chiming in from CC intern Lily Rolling Stone recently released a top 100 solos list Phil likes the long jammy solos Solos can go along with a riff or go off on crazy tangents Steely Dan used many guitarists Jay used to be into '80s speed guitar Vinnie Vincent went way over the top Charlie Sexton was a guitar prodigy who went on to play in Dylan's band The greatness of early Dire Straits Tough to narrow down our lists Appreciating Billy Idol Eagles bad, Joe Walsh good Terry Kath could rip So many great Jimmy Page solos The vast and weird catalog of Frank Zappa Billy Corgan has many excellent solos Kim Thayil was an unconventional soloist Bowie worked with many great guitarists: Mick Ronson, SRV, Belew, Earl Slick, Reeves Gabrels Townshend's solo on "I Can See for Miles" is simple but intense Fun weirdness from Focus on "Hocus Pocus" Phil's #10 is a tie Roger Hodgson of Supertramp was better known for playing keyboards Many hidden gems in the Who catalog Jay's #10: Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age Phil's not a fan of mosh pits To be continued Completely Conspicuous is available through wherever you get podcasts.

In this second round we take up: a playlist of KYE's Straussian-related episodes; (Straussian) esoteric writing versus (French) death of the author and the art of writing (and interpretation); prose style—what it is, why it matters, its relationship to poetry, and the rhythms of Norman Maclean; a "Straussian" reading of Steely Dan; and why liberalism is (mostly) worth defending. Thank you to everyone who attended our live event in NYC on Thursday! We had a great time.  Sources: Leo Strauss, Persecution and the Art of Writing (1952) — Thoughts on Machiavelli (1958) Stanley Rosen, Hermeneutics as Politics (1987) Wallace Stevens, "The Snow Man," Poetry, Oct 1921 Norman Maclean, A River Runs Through It and Other Stories (1976) — The Norman Maclean Reader (2008) Edmund White, Nocturnes for the King of Naples (1978) Marilynne Robinson, Gilead (2004) W.H.

Nearly perfect albums are a trap and we walked straight into it. We go down a punchy list of 1980s rock staples and actually argue the hard part: what makes a classic rock record feel flawless from top to bottom, and what makes it feel “too polished” even when the songs are huge. From Back In Black to Appetite For Destruction to Purple Rain, we swap favorites, call out the moments where bands start chasing the mainstream, and talk about how producers and the 80s studio sound shaped what we still hear today.Then we hit the headlines with music news that's equal parts heartfelt and nerdy. We talk about Dolly Parton stepping away from her Las Vegas residency for health reasons, the growing wave of big releases and comebacks, and the live music trend that sent us spiraling: metal shows inside caves. If you've ever wondered how acoustics, reflective surfaces, and a room full of bodies change a mix after soundcheck, we break it down in plain English.We also bring the community into the driver's seat with the question of the day: what 70s or 80s artist had a completely unique sound? The crew drops everything from Bowie and Hendrix to Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Run-DMC, and more. Add current country and rock charts, a quick 2001 time capsule on radio and CDs, and a mailbag on branding and “too polished” artists, and you've got a full hour of music podcast conversation that feels like hanging with real fans.

Structurally, it's divided into four distinct suites: a set of pop songs, a galaxy-brained section centered on Elvis Presley (including the idea of his faked death and surprise return), a medley of love songs, and a final movement contemplating God, death, and redemption.On Jordan, McAloon fuses the accessible melodicism of The Beatles and The Beach Boys with the lyrical and musical intricacy of Steely Dan, all filtered through his own literary and theatrical sensibilities, to create a dreamy, atmospheric, forward-facing masterpiece that sounds like nothing else and holds great appeal to modern ears. Jared and I go track-by-track on the album, which includes many of the band's greatest songs.My thanks to the Sproutology website, the ultimate online resource for the band.Follow Jared Bailey on Twitter and Bluesky.

This episode originally aired November 19, 2024 It was a real magic moment to connect with Aimee Mann, a musician I’ve listened to for decades. She indulges my curiosities about lyric choices and instrumental training, and I learn how much goes on behind the scenes of an Aimee Mann production. We talk about the traumas of her past, which hardships do and do not influence her work, and why there feels like a creative imperative to turn pain into art. Then, to lighten things up (at least a little) we bond over some of our favorite artists of years past, like the sneakily somber Steely Dan. Follow me on Instagram at @davidduchovny.

Access this entire 115 minute episode (and additional monthly bonus episodes, including the entire Prefab Sprout series) by becoming a Junk Filter patron! https://www.patreon.com/posts/228-prefab-songs-151720106In the fourth episode of the Junk Filter miniseries exploring the work of the UK band Prefab Sprout, I'm joined by Patrick Svensson, a library worker in Seattle, for a track-by-track discussion of their “lost album” Protest Songs.Recorded quickly and cheaply in Newcastle right after Steve McQueen, Protest Songs was intended for release at the end of 1985 but shelved by CBS Records to avoid cannibalizing sales of the hit single “When Love Breaks Down”.  After four years of bootlegs and rumours, the album was released without fanfare in 1989, serving as a stopgap between From Langley Park to Memphis and Jordan: The Comeback, yielding no hit singles while still making the Top 20 UK album charts.Patrick and I wish to make a case for this album as one of their best releases, with a more stripped-back, less hyperproduced sound that captures the band's live energy and provides further background on Paddy McAloon's upbringing and sensibilities, as he delivers “protest songs” about the struggles of daily existence in Thatcher's England as opposed to stridently political material.We dive into our favourite Protest Songs tracks, era-specific B-sides, and the unmistakable influence of Steely Dan on McAloon's songwriting.Follow Patrick Svensson on Bluesky.My thanks to the Sproutology website, the ultimate online resource for the band.Demo version #2 of Talkin' Scarlet from 1983- more of a duet, with a different set of lyrics.Tiffanys, live in Munich, December 1985

Is Steely Dan's Gaucho more perfect than Aja? Maybe even ... too perfect? Two years in the studio. The greatest session musicians alive asked to play take after take after take until it was exactly right. And sometimes that STILL wasn't enough for Donald Fagen and Walter Becker.On today's episode of You'll Hear It, jazz pianists Peter Martin and Adam Maness are breaking down the 1980 album track by track: the jazz harmony hiding inside those smooth grooves, the abstract poetry of the lyrics, and the insane stories behind how this thing got made. Including the $150,000 drum machine invented specifically for this record, the interview quote that cost them a third of a song, and the drum track that took 85 takes and 35 tape edits to piece together.And after all that, we didn't get another Steely Dan record for 20 years.Was it worth it?Read about the simple mistake that would haunt Steely Dan for 44 years in this week's edition of the You'll Read It newsletter: https://youllhearit.com/newsletterWatch our FULL breakdown of Steely Dan's Aja: https://youtu.be/G10mYohR6T400:00 - Steely Dan's Gaucho: A Monument to Perfect01:15 - "Babylon Sisters"11:00 - What Makes Steely Dan Genius13:35 - The Precision of Purdie's Drums on Babylon Sisters16:10 - Abstract Lyrics19:35 - "Hey Nineteen"22:25 - Pristine Rhodes25:25 - Isolated Vocal Stems on "Hey Nineteen"33:00 - "Glamour Profession"38:55 - The Mingus Influence40:10 - "Gaucho"43:20 - The Keith Jarrett Lawsuit48:50 - Gaucho Chorus Deep Dive54:10 - "Time Out Of Mind"57:50 - Monument to Perfectionism (Lead Boots)1:01:35 - Perfectionism and Jazz1:05:05 - Is Gaucho More Perfect Than Aja?1:06:25 - "My Rival"1:10:40 - Bowie / Steely Dan Side-By-Side1:14:00 - Too Fussy?1:19:05 - Open Studio Plays "Glamour Profession"
