For this final episode from Lollapalooza, I sat down for a quick chat with Nick Francis and Steve Filippone of Surfing for Daisy! Childhood friends from Asbury Park, NJ, Nick and Steve have been playing music together since they were kids. As life then happened and they both went separate directions for a bit, they never forgot the keen musical connection they have always shared. They re-formed that connection three years ago, and hence Surfing for Daisy was born. And now they're continuing to solidify that bond with their highly anticipated sophomore album, Echo the Madness, due out September 25. Nick and Steve talk to me about that shared bond, their musical influences and their individual experiences and adventures that lead them to this point. I love their classic rock vibe and their sheer determination to make this all happen, but most of all, I love how both these guys express their dedication to each other, to the band and to their music!!=======================================Chapters:00:00 Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg03:55 - Introducing the band and the Asbury Park vibe04:16 - Growing up in Freehold, New Jersey05:28 - Lifelong friendships and how the band members first connected06:45 - Why “Babe I'm Gonna Leave You” fit their live set07:37 - High school bands, bedroom musicians, and early attempts to play together09:15 - Nick's years in the Navy and how Guam shaped his musicianship11:04 - Finding the band through shared Jersey roots and mutual friends11:46 - Touring for the last few years and building momentum12:18 - Staying independent while assembling a strong team13:14 - Playing shows on little sleep and building endurance on the road13:50 - Musical influences: doo-wop, James Taylor, The Supremes, Zeppelin, and more15:19 - The story behind “Methamphetamine” and writing about addiction16:50 - Jersey directness versus Colorado passive aggression17:35 - The sophomore album and making something more cinematic18:37 - Upcoming shows, including the Basement and Beat Kitchen19:21 - Why there are no September dates and how weddings and life plans fit in21:13 - Episode Wrap-up with Host Josh Rosenberg=======================================For more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email: info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music: "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer
Journalist Gil Durán argues that a small circle of Silicon Valley billionaires and venture capitalists have concluded that democracy is in their way — and that they should be governing in its place. Durán traces their fringe ideologies from blogs, manifestos and private talks straight to the White House. “The weird stuff these guys say in their blogs or in their speeches is not just eccentric fluff. Because they have so much money, they can turn these weird ideas into policy and cause tremendous damage.” His book is The Nerd Reich. Also, Ken Tucker has a 50th anniversary appreciation of the Sparkle soundtrack. Loosely based on the girl group The Supremes, the 1976 film starred Aretha Franklin and the music was written and produced by Curtis Mayfield.

MY HEART TOOK A LEAP - THE POETIC INNOCENCE OF THE SHANGRI-LAS" -RICH BUCKLAND'S EPIPHANY NOTEBOOKLike so many pre teens growing up in the sixites I slept with a transistor radio under my pillow. That receiver was the best friend a 12 year old could possibly have. It told me only what I wanted to hear and unlike the parental tunes regulary dispensed, I could slide the dial to another frequency and change the feel and tempo. 1964 was an extraordinary year for popular music and youthful urges. My wireless companion delivered the sound of pleading voices reciting urgent love calls through the night air. The first feminine intonations that whispered directly to my adolescent hunger ariived through The Supremes in June of that year. I would wait anxiously through the bedtime darkness to hear the DJ conduct another spin of the salvation revealed within a Diana Ross plea requesting an explanation to what would become the eternal question of "Where Did Our Love Go". I was fully captured by the gentle elocution each conflicted tone incited. She was conducting a sorrowful inquest, the meaning of which I was not experienced enough to comprehend and yet fully accepted. It felt like a sensual revolution emanating from the magic of a wireless, spiritual trasmission, but more importantly a glorious awakening having nothing to do with sexual messaging. It was my initiation into the significance of lonliness. And then it became more complex. In August of that same period, a group calling themselves The Shangri-las, dispatched a 45 revelations per second record titled "Remember (Walking In The Sand )" It ignited something dark and dramatic. This was my first migraine heartache and I understood the origin. It was the voice of Mary Weiss, the groups teen vocalist from Queens NY, the very borough I lived in. She was singing a story of such anguish, I just wanted to embrace her and make it better. "Oh, no, Oh no, Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Remember (Walking In The Sand)". The song and it's production were the child of a music business misfit named George "Shadow" Morton" But it was the urgent hurt of Mary Weiss that has lived within me going on 55 years. I recall ruminating, " If this is 12, what the hell will 13 be like." I began to find out when the next Shangri-las recording was released in December. The melancholy of "Remember" surrendered to another George Morton composition sung as only Mary and her partners could. It was called "Give Him A Great Big Kiss" and made me feel better about our fate and the abyss she had us both falling into only four months earlier. Teendom was just around my Queens, NY street corner. Hope and the sound of rock and roll transmitted by Murray The K, wrestled with the gusty winds which flowed beneath the Throgs Neck Bridge where my friends and I spent long summer days.In retrospect Mary Weiss was my first true infatuation. The emotions were real, especially for a kid who cried over Jackie Wilsons "Lonely Teardrops" at age 7. Rock and Rhythm and Blues produced awakenings and sensations with no age restrictions.After 4 marriages I still have similar questions posed by The Shangri-las and The Supremes . I owe a great debt to those remarkable women and their sacred voices. If we are fortunate, the eternal flame of yearning begs new understanding with each sunrise. Just give the one you love a Great Big Kiss and always Remember. Always.
This playlist is 91% vinyl friendly. Near perfect. Philips, The Tina Century Bluetooth Turntable room.. A £350-£400 retro look to blend in with your wood panelling room, it reminds me of a car grill from the 1960s. Built-in speakers with deep (how low can you go) bass and crystal-clear highs. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms tweak/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a bit dodgy, quality-wise. On top of that, the switch between different decades and production values never helps in the mix here. Lyric of Playlist 154 Tim Hardin’s lyric and song title. 00.00 (Intro) THE FLAMINGOS – Stars (Edit) – Unreleased demo – 1983. Episode #1 for info. 00.41 NEW ORDER – Dreams Never End (John Peel session: 16.2.81) – The Peel Sessions 12″ EP – Strange Fruit – 1987 Diary for Jan 16, ’81 says ‘Karl W round. NEW ORDER JOHN PEEL…‘ Those caps signal something special and the journey had begun at Heaven, London a week earlier. Two good mates called Karl were there, though I hadn’t realised the one at my house listening to the first broadcast of the session was a Carl. 03.45 THE TEARDROP EXPLODES – Second Head – Kilimanjaro, LP – Mercury – 1980 Listening to this album now it’s got a bit of a bubbly and bouncy feel. Judging by a set list suggested for the Manchester Poly night’ that followed ours/mine it doesn’t look like Second Head made into our night here. Packed with Kilimanjaro tracks though. 06.55 TOM PETTY and THE HEARTBREAKERS – I Need To Know – 7″ – Shelter – 1978 Still with a fair amount of ‘rock’ in my world at this point in time, for some reason I thought I’d had a 12″ of this but that would have been a bit daft. At just 2mins 22 plus, a fiery new wave feel that could have made it as an Elvis Costello tune. 09.17 FORMAL SPPEEDWEAR – Who Needs Spain Ball – Punch Card, LP – Melodic – 2026 “Who Needs Spain Ball?”. ‘On the surface, the single functions as a highly accessible, synth-forward New Wave track featuring the record's biggest, most infectious pop chorus. However, the title and the song’s inner mechanics are intentionally surreal, designed to “pull the rug” out from under the listener‘. – Apologies, I forgot the source. An early Talking Heads vibe going on? They’re pulling the rug even more with their merch – with the band’s name the only lettering… album t-shirts! 12.28 BIG JOANIE – It’s You – Sistahs, LP – The Daydream Library Series – 2018 So post punk! 14.48 EGOSLAVIA – Twist Face – Self-titled, (mini) LP – 9 1/2 x 16″ Records – 1982 Not that many will have debated it but I’ve always pronounced this band as ‘Egoslayvia’ and it’s only just dawned on me it was likely ‘Egoslahvia’. Better late… and a band I was introduced to by a US guy who dropped in on John Peel’s radio show somewhere in the ’80s. Very unusual for Peely to have anyone else in the studio with him but his guest was picking tracks from three or so US bands that Peely had never heard of, something that irritated the latter, slightly. 20.08 BIFFER BONKER – 4 Prong, Fucked Up, 2 Potato Thing – Biffer Bonker Is…Unabashed, download album only – ? – 2026 Anyone with a decades long history of Bedford, UK’s musical landscape stretching back to punk bands of the mid to late 70s will have knowledge of Biffer in a former life or three fronting a wealth of different bands but his present world view is available here, with something from the man for me currently getting waylaid by various postal services. ‘No god is required… ‘ Ain’t that the truth and if there isn’t a lyric sheet involved somewhere I might be requesting one :), as he’ll be back here at some point. He’s also the man who introduced me to Click Click via an early demo tape of theirs somewhere around 1984. 23.17 BROKEN SPINDLES – To Die, For Death – Fulfilled / Complete, LP – Saddle Creek – 2004 Content with having spun Induction on an earlier show, and as it turns out, rightly guessing on the album’s diversity I hadn’t been rushing to grab the physical vinyl… but here we are! One Joel Peterson, from Omaha, Nebraska. 25.35 TARWATER – 20 Miles Up – Silur, LP – Kitty-Yo – 1986 From the US to Germany and there’s a far wider breadth to this duos ‘catalogue’ than the two tracks now spun on 41 Rooms would suggest. 29.35 RIPPLE – I Don’t Know What It Is But It Sure Is Funky – 7″ – GRC – 1973 I don’t know about I Don’t Know… but with no UK release it’s unlikely our mainstream radio of the time spun this, though maybe a DJ or two down the Pilgrims or in the Anglers (Inn) Lair across the road could have. I have strong memories of hearing Willie Henderson’s Dance Master at the latter. 32.53 MARY KENT – Lost Generation – 7″ – CBS – 1969 It’s a slower, darker take than the version the song’s writer, Jim(my) Webb put out himself a year later and though Mary’s intro needed red carding for the show her version has some gravitas and feels ‘worthier’ now than it may have done to the UK’s record buyers back in 1969… what with the Vietnam war being… yep, somewhere else. The intro brings to my mind Common Sense’s Resurrection ’95. 36.57 LADY BLACKBIRD vs CROOKED MAN – Whatever His Name (Pt 1) * – Crooked Spirituals Remixes, 12″ – Foundation – 2025 She’s rightly got her soul audience but I much prefer her vocals set against some electronic goings on, as with the already 41 Rooms’ spun Athletes Of God and some remixing bods, including here, Crooked Man. They seem to give her vocals more of an edge for me. 42.18 ROBERTO RODRIGUEZ (feat. MAX C) – About This Love (Crazy P Remix) (Dub) * – 12″ – Compost Black Label – 2009 The vocals are incidental but the track just keeps building, dropping, shifting. A head-nod-a-thon of slight unease. 45.42 CLICK CLICK – Stay Out Of The Water – 12″ b-side – Rorschach Testing – 1985 Great times in the summer and autumn of ’85. Our RT label is off and running with a party at Winkles (Bedford), a P(roduction) and D(istribution) deal with Rough Trade, 500 copies of the initial yellow and blue sleeved 12″ pressing head straight to the US off the back of A-side (Sweet Stuff) getting CC Single Of The Week in Sounds and with spins on John Peel’s radio show there are one-off gigs in London, Brighton and Northampton and rehearsals are sounding great. Gig poster for 28.11.84. Part of a Rorschach Testing ad, The Catalogue #29, Aug ’85. 49.24 SIMPLE MINDS – Premonition (John Peel session: 7.1.80) – Silver Box, 5CD – Virgin – 2004 Having already seen them on the OGWT (live from Hurrah’s New York) and live at the Marquee the previous month I must have heard this session but for whatever reason I definitely didn’t record it. A ropey photo below of mine from London’s Hammersmith Palais, 26.8.80. 54.28 THE FALL – Dktr. Faustus * – Bend Sinister, LP – Beggars Banquet – 1986 It’s about time Mark E Smith (RIP) and his gang made it back here… so they have. 00.01.00 ECHO and THE BUNNYMEN – I Bagsy Yours (John Peel session: 22.8.79) – The Peel Sessions 12″ EP – 1988 This show’s third Peel session track of the era and the song renamed Monkeys in time to nestle next to the track Crocodiles months later on their debut album. I’m with ‘Bagsy’, though. Even us southerners used the term back then, though it might be best to not remember how it was being used here. 01.02.47 THE MOVE – I Can Hear The Grass Grow – 7″ – Deram – 1967 ‘An early, proto-psychedelic freakbeat masterpiece‘ in some modern day circles but a fab bit of wild pop back then. As the years rolled on though, the ‘weedier’ (sadly) Roy Wood’s guitar interjections have sounded. 01.05.52 PETULA CLARK – The Other Man’s Grass (Is Always Greener) – 7″ – Pye – 1967 Husband and wife writers, Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent (or in this particular case, Jackie Trent and Tony Hatch :)), with their key and tempo changing swirler giving ‘Our Pet’ her last Top 20 hit. So idiosyncratic it never got covered by anyone else or maybe offered as an exclusive to Petula? Either way, I bet Trent (no mean singer herself) forwarded a guide vocal version and I’d have been interested in hearing that. And it’s taken me a week to realise I’ve placed two songs next to each with ‘Grass’ in the title. Very unintentional but spooky and true. 01.08.49 BROOKE COMBE – Tears Won’t Lie * – 7″ – Fontana – 2026 I reckon Northern soul’s younger followers will dance and some older purists will very likely pick at the production but Combe and co-writer, James Skelly have nailed it, and if this song had been recorded in the mid 1960s – and maybe on the label this 7″ now pays homage to (with say Kiki Dee?) – there’d be an even bigger price tag on it than this barely out of the 2026 pressing plant £18 7′ already commands. Also, all involved in the Combe camp will have been as meticulous on the look for the dancers in the video as was MT Jones for his I Don’t Understand. Paying homage can be tough stuff. 01.11.19 TERRY CALLIER – Ordinary Joe – 7″ – Cadet – 1972 Terry and producer, Charles Stepney with a ‘skipping along the road’ feel. An even more expensive buy than the above… and I have neither. 01.15.17 CHAIRMEN OF THE BOARD – Give Me Just A Little More Time – 7″ – Invictus – 1970 INV 501. Did Invictus kick off their UK releases with a homage to Tamla Motown’s UK singles catalogue. Five years earlier the latter had also started with (TMG) 501, via The Supremes’ Stop In The Name Of Love. 01.17.57 JACKIE WILSON – I Get The Sweetest Feeling – 7″ – Brunswick – 1968 1968 for Jackie but the mid ’70s for me. Putnoe, Bedford… sunshine… Gill H… 01.20.49 THE CONTROLLERS – Somebody’s Gotta Win, Somebody’s Gotta Loose (7″ version) – 7″ – Juana – 1977 I didn’t knowingly hear this til maybe twenty years ago. With the amount of music that bypasses us, is it possible I’ve never heard the greatest song I could ever hear? 01.24.42 UMBRA MOON – Don’t Let Me Down – Download only – 2024 This Australian girl is seemingly taking longer to break out than I would have imagined but though stylistically aside of my normal listening, this is a gem. 01.28.02 SHAWN PHILLIPS – Solitude – 7″ b-side – Columbia – 1965 With my copy bought for this side alone, there are few artists I’ve come across who have been both super jaunty and deeper than deep in the songwriting department and 41 Rooms can be with Shawn in both moods. 01.30.48 JOHN and BEVERLEY MARTYN – Primrose Hill – 7″ – Warner Brothers – 1970 In 1970 approximately 1% of the American population had a passport, so aside thinking (at best) Primrose Hill maybe had some Civil War battle reference for them they were going to struggle to warm to this London landmark being referenced, even though somebody at Warners US – as opposed to their UK counterpoints – thought this Carole King-like tune had legs as a single. Sadly, they were wrong, with the promo 7″ likely more common than the stock copy. 01.33.40 TIM HARDIN – You Upset The Grace Of Living When You Lie – 7″ promo only – Verve Forecast – 1967 Yep, lyric and title of show 154 goes to… though at 1min 45 it’s nearly over by the time he’s got through singing the line. A ragged, slightly altered take of the song was part of Hardin’s performance at Woodstock but his set only got to make it to an official release of the festival in 2019. 01.35.22 JOSE FELICIANO – Dirty Work – For My Love… Mother Music, LP – RCA – 1974 It’s likely I’d be outnumbered with my thinking here but Jose’s passion makes Steely Dan’s own recorded version, sung by their then main vocalist, David Palmer, sound lack lustre. 01.38.08 VANGELIS – He-O – Earth, LP – Vertigo – 1973 Back in Vangelis’ big years I only got around to wanting his 1976 single, Pulstar but then hearing the Beatfanatics Balearic Boogie Remix of Let It Happen in 2007 led me backwards to this album and it’s the vocals (of one Robert Fitoussi) on both tracks that seem to make the difference for me. 01.42.05 STEVIE WONDER – Pastime Paradise * – Songs In The Key Of Life, 2LP – Tamla Motown – 1976 I bought the album at the time but my youthful ignorance didn’t fully take in the scale of Stevie’s accomplishment and looking now at the full tracklisting there were only six tracks I regularly played, with Pastime Paradise being one of them. The American buyers who took Songs… to No 1 in the Billboard album charts will have delved deeper. 01.45.21 KOICHI OZAKI – Petal Of The Cherry Blossom * – Novo Tempo / Koichi Ozaki: Novo Tempo Meets Eurasian Suite Vol. 2, 12″ – Eurasian Suite – 2004 If I could dip into the whole of the soul/(acid)jazz/beats etc etc world of the Japanese from the ’90s onwards there’d be a basket full of great tunes I’ve yet to hear. So little time… 01.51.22 KEITH JARRETT (TRIO) – Dancing – Changeless, LP – ECM Records – 1989 ‘Original material which is deeply subversive (though also respectfully aware) of the whole tradition of jazz as a system of improvisation on ‘the changes’… On Changeless, there are no chord progressions at all; the trio improvises each section in a single key, somewhat in the manner of an Indian raga‘. – The Penguin Guide to Jazz. ‘These pieces – not written, rehearsed, thought out, sketched, or arranged – ‘came up’ in the middle of four distinctly different concerts. Process is swifter and more accurate than thought.‘ – Keith Jarrett’s album liner notes (edited). Show 155 arrives Sept 6.

The Jim Craine Show Title: Back on the Boardwalk: A Radio Return Filled with Atlantic City Memories Summary A Celebrated Return to Radio Jim Craine opens the program by welcoming listeners to a new Saturday-afternoon broadcast from Pleasantville Music Shop near Atlantic City. After years away from regular radio, he describes his excitement about returning to the air in his 51st year in show business. The episode establishes a relaxed, live-party atmosphere built around comedy, music, local guests, audience interaction, and classic entertainment. Craine also previews future appearances by performers and personalities including Jon Provost, Deana Martin, Frank Ferrante, and comedians from his long career in show business. Supporting the Jersey Shore Community A major theme of the episode is the importance of supporting locally owned businesses. Craine highlights Pleasantville Music Shop as a long-running, family-operated store offering instruments, school rentals, vintage guitars, pianos, drums, keyboards, and vinyl records that customers can hear before buying. He also acknowledges area restaurants, Copiers Plus, Maplewood restaurants, the Dr. Jonathan Pitney House, the Colonial Inn, Smithville businesses, and other regional sponsors. His comments frame the show as both an entertainment program and a continuing spotlight on the people, restaurants, events, and small businesses of South Jersey. Upcoming Events and Boardwalk Attractions Craine shares several upcoming entertainment and community events, including the Happy Together Tour at the Ocean City Music Pier, Lucy the Elephant's birthday celebration in Margate, and a Steel Pier alumni reunion scheduled for August 23, 2026. He invites former pier employees, performers, dancers, ushers, game workers, food-service workers, and longtime visitors to attend the reunion. He also discusses the Italian Festival in Smithville, where he and the Atlantic City All-Stars have performed for many years. These announcements reinforce the program's close connection to the boardwalk, the Jersey Shore, and Atlantic City's live-entertainment culture. Stories from a Life in Show Business Much of the broadcast is devoted to memories from Craine's decades as a singer, lifeguard, entertainer, and bandleader. He recalls working with Red Skelton, opening for Connie Stevens, appearing with Rich Little, singing at a Phillies game, and participating in a 1983 juvenile-diabetes telethon. He remembers Red Skelton signing hundreds of autographs and explaining why performers must remain gracious to their audiences. Craine also directs listeners to archival performances, interviews, concerts, and career-retrospective material available under the spelling C-R-A-I-N-E. Steel Pier and Atlantic City Entertainment History Craine offers an extended account of his years at Steel Pier from 1963 to 1973, where he worked as an usher, cared for the diving horses, operated the Diving Bell, and absorbed lessons from generations of entertainers. He remembers seeing or encountering Chicago, Jay and the Techniques, Tommy James and the Shondells, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Pat Boone, Duke Ellington, the Bee Gees, Les Paul and Mary Ford, Chet Atkins, Herman's Hermits, The Monkees, Sam Cooke, The Temptations, The Supremes, and a young Michael Jackson. He presents Steel Pier and Atlantic City as places where popular-music history, variety entertainment, boardwalk culture, and personal opportunity came together. Music, Comedy, and a Personal Farewell The episode is punctuated by musical recordings, produced announcements, audience reactions, and a series of short jokes. Craine shares performances of “Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody,” “On the Boardwalk in Atlantic City,” and “Over the Rainbow,” dedicating the closing song to mothers. He thanks his wife, Joanne, for being his partner for 35 years and invites listeners to return for future guests, calls, comedy, music, and community features. The broadcast ends as a warm introduction to the show's intended style: nostalgic but lively, rooted in Atlantic City history, and centered on enjoying the personalities and stories behind classic entertainment.

在这个被演算法与短影音统治的时代,你有多久没有耐着性子,从头到尾好好听完一张专辑了?我们习惯了五秒内就必须抓耳的「A面」,什么都能一键跳过、倍速播放,却也渐渐失去了等待与倾听的耐心。这集节目,我们要聊聊一个在当代音乐工业中逐渐消亡的文化符号——音乐的「B面」。「B面」不只是唱片翻过来的那一面,它曾是音乐人摆脱商业压力、尽情实验,甚至允许瑕疵存在的后花园。当整个社会的演算法都在逼迫我们展示最成功、光鲜亮丽的「A面」时,我们是不是也越来越不敢拥抱自己那不够完美、有点别扭、却最真实的「B面」?别急着滑走,给自己一点喘息的时间。让我们一起慢下来,在被商业演算法抛弃的角落里,找回倾听的纯粹乐趣,也获得拥抱自身不完美的勇气。

As the High Court justices are requesting millions of dollars for 6 extra security/safety guards each, America's reaction is divided. The court wants protection from its own decisions? Or from the woke crazy that has been allowed to fester and threaten people on the right they don't agree with? Senator Susan Collins calls out Chuck Schumer for inciting violence against the Supremes. Jack Smith illegally spied on 44 lawmakers' text messages... and LIED ABOUT it under oath. A tranny moves to the Netherlands because he feels unsafe in America only to find out 2,000 Muslims have relocated to his new community. Guess who's coming back home?
Hace 30 años, cinco jóvenes británicas grabaron en menos de una hora una canción que cambiaría la historia del pop: "Wannabe". En este episodio de Interesante Historia reconstruimos el nacimiento de las Spice Girls, desde el casting de Heart Management hasta el rodaje de su videoclip en un hotel victoriano de Londres, y exploramos por qué los grupos femeninos, de The Supremes a TLC, de Destiny's Child a Flans, han sido una de las tradiciones más influyentes y subestimadas de la música popular.
Why do hyphenated Americans—Mexican, Italian, Irish, Polish. Greek, you name it—root for the country on the left side of that hyphen? Ben riffs. Adolfo elaborates. And that leads them to the Supremes coming close—too close—to erasing the 14 amendment. So much for being textualists. Next thing you know, Ben & Adolfo are breaking down the meaning of Country Road. You know—“almost heaven, West Virginia…” Which US fans sing at soccer games.

On the Supreme Court today there is a 6 to 3 majority—I hesitate to call them 'conservatives' because they have been ripping apart tradition so drastically—right-wing Republican rule; Harold Meyerson comments on the "week of do this but don't do it here decisions".Trump's biggest losses in the Supreme Court rulings announced this week were on birthright citizenship—widely anticipated—and the voting rights case where the majority ruled states could count ballots mailed but not received by election day. His biggest win was abolishing independent agencies except for the Federal Reserve. David Cole has our analysis—he's the former legal director of the ACLU.Also: This July 4th, the 250th anniversary of the signing of Declaration of Independence, is an anxious and unhappy holiday for Americans this year; as threats to our democracy have not be this dangerous since the Civil War. The question: "What is to be done?" is visited in "Common Sense 2026"—it's not a TikTok video, not an instagram post, but a pamphlet, inspired by "Common Sense" by written Thomas Paine in 1776—Alan Minsky, its author, explains.

Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson famously observed that “The Constitution is not a suicide pact.” With yesterday's ruling concerning so-called “birthright citizenship,” a majority of his successors on today's Court decided that it actually is. They declared the 14th Amendment makes absolutely everyone born here a citizen. They did so knowing that's a formula for more illegal immigration to create “anchor babies,” giving extended families a foot in our nation's proverbial “door.” Worse yet, Peter Schweizer's excellent book, Invisible Coup, put the Supremes on notice that Chinese men are exploiting the 14th Amendment to spawn perhaps as many as a million children birthed here by American women, but then removed, raised and indoctrinated entirely in China. They will have the vote upon turning 18, and unlimited access to this country before and after. What could possibly go wrong? National suicide. This is Frank Gaffney.

Did The Supremes Get Birthright Citizenship Right_ by Ron Paul Liberty Report
This episode is presented by Create A Video – Today, the US Supreme Court issued a 5-4 ruling that children born to illegal aliens in America are US citizens. The decision creates massive security threats as "birth tourism" has exploded in the USA, with tens of thousands of Chinese nationals traveling to the US territories to have babies and then raise them in communist China. Those babies would be legal US citizens with the right to vote in our elections and even run for office.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast My preferred podcast platform: SpreakerAll the links to Pete's Prep are free!Get exclusive content here!Media Bias Check: GroundNews promo code!Advertising and Booking inquiries: Pete@ThePeteKalinerShow.com

The Strange Brew - artist stories behind the greatest music ever recorded
Otis Williams discusses over six decades of The Temptations and their upcoming UK tour. Williams talks about moving from Texas to Detroit as a kid, catching Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers at the Fox Theater, and getting spotted by Berry Gordy at a record hop. He remembers the strings going onto ‘My Girl’ in 1964 and knowing straight away it would be a hit, a hunch confirmed by telegrams from The Beatles, The Supremes and Berry Gordy. He looks back on their first UK dates in the mid-60s on the Tamla Motown package tour and how hits were chosen at Motown. There’s also a look at the shift to psychedelic soul with ‘Cloud Nine’ in 1968, plus his thoughts on keeping the group together through nearly thirty line-up changes.

The Supreme Court recently heard arguments in Monsanto v. Durnell, a case that could decide the fate of state-level glyphosate warning-label lawsuits — and perhaps the MAHA movement. If the Supremes rule in favor of Bayer, which owns Roundup, the glyphosate-based herbicide that powers industrial agriculture in this country and around the world, MAHA's leaders may revolt. Theodore and Helena discuss this, and the other ways MAHA is flexing its political power, including on the long-delayed Farm Bill.

Dan, Manny, & Billy put 8 oldies from the 50s & 60s to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST! “The fact that [“The Twist”] goes on for more than a minute boggles my mind because at weddings usually it's in a mix of oldies. Right? [...] So imagine twisting over the whole length of this song.” -Manny Coelho This is a fun look back at the oldies from the 50s and 60s that filled the streets of the boys' black parties (also, are block parties only a NY thing?), weddings, family BBQs, and their homes. It's music that was playing daily on 101.1 FM on Long Island. The songs that Dan, Manny, and Billy put rank and put to the test are, Bobby Darin's “Splish Splash,” Little Richard's “Rip It Up,” The Four Tops' “Reach Out I'll Be There,” Aretha Franklin's “Think,” The Supremes' “Baby Love,” The Ronettes' “Be My Baby,” Sinatra's “I've Got You Under My Skin,” and Chubby Checker's “The Twist.” They also talk about some honorable mentions, their favorite cocktails, mob movies and the music that made them so memorable, and more block party talk. This is an episode that opens a whole new part of The Nostalgia Test Podcast because these are songs that were popular way before any of the hosts were born, so can these be nostalgic? Is nostalgia period specific for the individual? This episode answers these questions with a lot of reflections on family and those free concerts in the part that if you were from Long Island your parents dragged you to during the summer. Sometimes there were fireworks, sometimes there were drunken adults dancing the lindy with each other, and most times there was a collection of Igloo coolers being carried with folding chairs and blankets. See, these songs create a time capsule of both the moment they were released and the moments of childhood for kids from the 80s and 90s. So, grab your most comfortable folding chairs, a chill group of friends, set up in the street out front on your block, crack a few domestic beers, and wait to be called in when it's too late.

Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KAnalytic Dreamz dives deep into Kanye West's (Ye) highly anticipated 2026 solo album Bully. Born in 1977 in Chicago, Ye began his career as a producer at Roc-A-Fella Records, contributing major work to The Blueprint before launching his own legendary run. His artistic evolution spans soul-sampled classics like 2004's The College Dropout, the Auto-Tune innovation of 2008's 808s & Heartbreak, and the industrial experimentation of 2013's Yeezus. With 24 Grammy Awards, Ye is celebrated for constant reinvention and polarizing creative shifts. Bully arrived on March 28, 2026, via YZY / Gamma as an 18-track project. The sound returns to heavy soul sampling with influences from Sam Cooke and The Supremes. Development included an early V1 version with AI-generated vocals in 2025, multiple delays from an original June 2025 target, and final re-recording with human vocals. The title draws from a comment by Ye's son and references to the Larry Clark film. Release featured listening parties and pre-save campaigns. Critical reception is mixed: production earns praise for its strongest soul chops and stadium hooks in years, yet many reviews describe the album as lifeless with weak lyricism and a lack of fresh artistic reset. Pitchfork scored it 3.4/10, with an Album of the Year critic average around 51/100. Commercially, Bully opened with approximately 117,000 first-week units for a Billboard 200 debut at #2, behind ARIRANG. It marks Ye's first solo album not reaching #1 since 2004 and the lowest opening of his career, though it extends his streak of 14 consecutive Top 2 albums. Streaming dominated with an estimated 50 million Spotify streams on day one, securing the biggest hip-hop streaming debut of 2026 and global #1 album status. Pure sales landed at a career-low ~20,000 units, reflecting the independent model with minimal traditional marketing and heavy reliance on fanbase and DSPs. Physical bundles sold via Yeezy.com. This segment explores the AI vocal controversy, the shift to streaming-first strategy, the production-versus-content divide, and what Bully reveals about Ye's ongoing career trajectory in 2026.
