Dylan Jones – writer, former editor of i-D, Arena and GQ - was 15 in 1975 and dressed like Henry McCullough of Wings (“a lot of denim and silk scarves”), a time he thinks had enormous influence on the following five decades. There are many highlights in his latest book ‘1975: The Year The World Forgot', a lot of them discussed here with David and Mark, including … … the lasting impact of the cover of Patti Smith's Horses. … the “frightening” Millie Jackson, 50 years ahead of her time. … why Blood On The Tracks was the first middle-aged rock album.  … the information black-out and the value of the ‘70s rock press - particularly Street Life – for such experimental music. … how the sarcasm of Steely Dan still feels contemporary – “Donald Trump is a figure they could have made up 50 years ago”. … the three key rhythms of the ‘70s – Fela Kuti's afro-beat, James Brown's funk and Klaus Dinger's Neu!-beat. … the reason Donna Summer's Love To Love You Baby is 17 minutes long. … how Brian Eno's accident led to the birth of ambient music.  … “writing about pop music allows you to write about anything”. … how the sophistication and intellect of the mid-‘70s was pilloried in Punk's Year Zero. … the Quiet Storm genre - aka “foreplay music” – from Sade to Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye. ... the unrecognised power of the female record-buyer and the sexism of the rock press. … and the greatest record of 1975! Pre-order ‘1975: The Year The World Forgot' here:https://www.amazon.co.uk/1975-World-Forgot-Dylan-Jones/dp/1408721988Help us to keep the conversation going by joining our worldwide Patreon community: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textIn this episode of Street Life, we had the pleasure of speaking with the talented Olga Kolovac, a self-taught abstract and street photographer from Dubrovnik, Croatia. Olga is known for her unique black-and-white photography that captures fleeting moments and emotions, often in rainy and dark conditions.We kicked off the conversation by discussing Olga's journey into photography, which began in her childhood but took a hiatus during her university years. It wasn't until her 30s that she rediscovered her passion, leading her to explore street photography. Olga shared her preference for shooting in less-than-ideal weather, explaining how the rain and cold inspire her creativity and allow her to capture images that many others might overlook.We delved into her distinctive style, which is heavily influenced by expressionist painters and characterised by a dreamlike quality. Olga emphasised that her work is about conveying emotion rather than adhering to traditional beauty standards, which often leads her to capture the more melancholic aspects of her surroundings.As we wrapped up, we asked Olga about her future projects and her thoughts on the rise of AI in photography. She expressed confidence in the irreplaceable nature of human emotion in art, highlighting that while AI can replicate styles, it cannot capture the essence of human experience.Overall, this episode was a deep dive into the world of street photography through Olga's eyes, offering inspiration and insight for both aspiring and seasoned photographers.

It's unnecessarily expensive."Hi: उनके बीच छोटी-मोटी बहस चलते ही रही।En: Minor debates continued among them.Hi: तभी, नीलम की नजर उन रंगों पर पड़ी जो बाकी रंगों से ज़्यादा चमकीले और महंगे थे।En: Just then, Neelam noticed colors that were brighter and more expensive than the rest.Hi: उसने थोड़ा झूझते हुए दुकानदार से पूछा, "इनका दाम थोड़ा कम नहीं हो सकता?"En: She asked the shopkeeper a bit hesitantly, "Can't the price be a little less for these?"Hi: दुकानदार मुस्कुराया और बोला, "यही रंग आपकी होली को यादगार बनाएँगे, मैडम।"En: The shopkeeper smiled and said, "These colors will make your Holi memorable, madam."Hi: आरव ने एक और आइडिया फेंका, "क्यों न हम कुछ खास कपड़े लेकर इन रंगों के साथ कुछ नया करें?"En: Aarav threw another idea, "Why don't we get some special clothes and try something new with these colors?"Hi: रोहन ने सिर हिलाया, "हमारी जेब पर असर पड़ेगा, आरव।"En: Rohan shook his head. "It'll affect our pocket, Aarav."Hi: थोड़ी सी चर्चा और विचार-विमर्श के बाद, नीलम ने निर्णय कर लिया।En: After a bit of discussion and deliberation, Neelam made a decision.Hi: "कुछ विशेष रंग लेंगे, और बाकी सामान्य। इस तरह सब संतुलित रहेगा।"En: "We'll buy some special colors, and the rest, the usual ones. This way, everything will be balanced."Hi: रास्ते में निकलते वक्त आरव ने उन्हें बताया, "मुझे खास अंदाज़ में थैंक्स कहने का तरीका मिला है।"En: On their way out, Aarav shared with them, "I've found a special way to say thanks."Hi: उसने एक बैग में से घर पर बने मिठाई के डिब्बे निकालकर दिखाए। "यह होली को और भी मीठी बनाएँगी।"En: He showed some homemade sweet boxes from a bag. "These will make Holi even sweeter."Hi: नीलम के चेहरे पर संतोष की मुस्कान थी।En: Neelam had a look of contentment on her face.Hi: उसे समझ आ गया था कि त्यौहार की खुशियां बेतहाशा खर्च करने में नहीं, बल्कि सही संतुलन में हैं।En: She realized that the joy of the festival wasn't in spending extravagantly, but in the right balance.Hi: दिल्ली हाट से चलते समय, तीनों खुश थे।En: As they left Dilli Haat, all three were happy.Hi: होली यादगार बनेगी, इसकी सबको उम्मीद थी।En: They hoped this Holi would indeed be memorable.

“Figuring out what version of Dion I wanted to be. Definitely came with a lot of mistakes and definitely came with a lot of eye-opening experiences.” Dion Dawkins NFL Pro   Pivot Family, ya'll definitely want to tap into this episode! It is a true example of “Accept, Adjust and Move Forward” as Ryan, Fred and Channing sit down with Buffalo Bills Pro Bowl tackle Dion Dawkins to go beyond the surface of who he is as a player and learn more of his life journey as he opens up with honesty and accountability, going from young athlete to NFL star despite some off field obstacles.  As the core of The Buffalo Bills team, Dion has become one of the faces of the franchise and community for his leadership, dominant play and boisterous personality. Dawkins has high praise for MVP teammate Josh Allen, calling him “one of one” and revealing what makes him a great leader that the world doesn't get to see. He keeps it real about the Bills' Super Bowl drought, saying they have the key to the door but just can't seem to open it. Although making peace with their painful AFC Championship loss this season and jokingly sharing what or rather who the team needs to get to the big dance, Dion voices his opinion and confidently claims that Buffalo would've put on a better show than Kansas City in Super Bowl LIX. Dion is unapologetically himself and approaches life with 100% confidence and explains you can still be a dawg on the field and a nice guy in real life. A few wrong-time wrong-place type decisions early in his life led Dion to revamp his path the man he wanted to be and living out his vision. He shares how he always knew he was built differently, from shoveling snow for money as a kid to being the last one on football field taking extra reps to adhering his cousin's warning of the pitfalls that the streets offered.    Suffering from a variation of survivor's guilt, Dion explains how the complicated relationship with his father heavily weighs on him as he opens up on why the two have failed to make peace and the root of the hurt. He talks about being the one who made it in life but is rather ridiculed for it than celebrated. Transparent with his challenging family dynamic, Dion is also an open book with some of his early mistakes that he made navigating his football talents while learning through tough moments that caused others' pain and himself. Reflecting on his college suspension at Temple, Dawkins talks about the humiliation of watching someone else take his reps, the one part of that experience he hasn't reconciled and his message to young athletes about second chances.   This conversation is filled with so much honesty, humility and proof that not everything is what it seems and sometimes those who portray a certain persona have a story to tell because often the things that shape us, are not what define us.

Laura Fox is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Streetlife Ventures, a seed-stage venture fund investing in B2B urban climate solutions to transform sectors including mobility, buildings, energy, waste, and water. She joins to discuss the challenges and opportunities in improving quality of life in cities and the urban climate space Takeaways Street Life focuses on the climate transition in the mobility and logistics industry, seeking opportunities beyond traditional big players. The MORE framework (enablement, rebuild, mobility solutions, maintenance) guides Street Life's approach to addressing mobility challenges. Infrastructure rebuilding and reimagining are crucial, as a significant portion of urban infrastructure needed by 2050 does not exist yet. Balancing business goals and impact is a challenge, but partnerships with the public sector can be a major accelerant to growth. Policy plays a vital role in driving change, and resistance to change can be navigated through thoughtful implementation and clear benefits.
