Suzanne Vega is the latest guest on Leo Sidran's "The Third Story" podcast
Legendary singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega looks back at her remarkable career — and forward to her new album, Flying with Angels, her first collection of original songs in nearly a decade. From the moment she emerged in the 1980s with her self-titled debut and follow-up Solitude Standing, Vega has occupied a singular space in popular music. Known for her literate lyrics, calm delivery, and understated innovation, she became an unlikely pop star with songs like “Luka” — a devastating portrait of abuse — and “Tom's Diner,” which began as an a cappella sketch and became a surprise dance hit, later used in the development of the MP3 format. Vega discusses how those early hits shaped her identity, and how she's maintained a relationship with her past work while continuing to evolve as an artist. She shares stories behind her biggest songs, her longtime collaborations (including with producer and ex-husband Mitchell Froom), and her connection to a vibrant downtown New York songwriting community that included figures like Jack Hardy and Fast Folk magazine. She also reflects on the new material, including the haunting “Mariaupol,” inspired by the war in Ukraine, and “Rats,” inspired during the lockdown in New York. These songs mark a subtle shift for Vega: from her usual allegorical storytelling to more direct commentary and bearing witness to events in real time. Along the way, the conversation touches on Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, motherhood, stagecraft, artistic responsibility, and the strange alchemy of simplicity and resonance. Vega shares anecdotes from her life on tour, her early performances (including a childhood appearance at Pete Seeger's feet), and her unexpected intersections with technology and culture. www.third-story.com www.leosidran.substack.com www.wbgo.org/podcast/the-third-story

Suzanne Vega usually heads straight to the compost heap for song ideas. "I have a compost heap of at least 50 notebooks dating back many years, and I pull from those notebooks when writing a new album," Vega says. She starts the process with a theme in mind then heads straight to that pile of notebooks to look for ideas to fit the theme. Some of her songs take years to emerge: "Lucinda" started as an idea more than 25 years ago. It's a pretty rich compost heap that can produce "Tom's Diner" and "Luka." Vega wrote "Tom's Diner" on a walk after leaving the diner, further proof of how movement improves the creative process. She's also a voracious reader and cites James Joyce as a big influence.Suzanne Vega's latest album is Flying With Angels on Cooking Vinyl Records.

Davida Hrbeka som spoznala počas práce na albume hudobníka Davida Kollera Československo. Je publicista, textár, básnik, moderátor. Pochádza z Olomouca, kde aj pracuje ako edukátor v Múzeu umenia Olomouc. Hrá v kapele Tak co? pre ktorú píše aj texty. Vo viacerých divadlách- či už v Prahe alebo v Olomouci uvádzal svoju talkshow - v tej pražskej boli jeho hosťami napríklad Václav Havel, Tomáš Klus, Suzanne Vega, Michael McCartney (brat Paula McCartneyho), či Lou Reed. Vydal viacero kníh rozhovorov, nás však budú zaujímať najmä jeho zbierky básní či textov: Dobrou noc, odcházím z roku 2020 a Ty nejlepší věci z roku 2025.
“New Girl Syndrome” The New Zealand-born Lisa Crawley has fearlessly created art and then just as fearlessly followed that art all over the world. From a small town in Japan to a cruise ship to Los Angeles, Crawley is not afraid of the hard miles and she's bravely traversed the globe performing wherever she can. Armed with a luminescent voice and melodic muscle, Crawley's work suggests a dreamy mix of Amy Winehouse and Bic Runga. Over the years she appeared in the Tony-Award winning musical Once, opened for Paul Weller, Simply Red and Suzanne Vega, she's performed with the Auckland Symphony Orchestra and she's had her work appear in everything from The Last Days Of Capitalism to Nancy Drew to Good Trouble. Her new EP New Girl Syndrome is an infectious and stirring song cycle that's contemplative, probing and unreasonably catchy. Lisa's a really funny person and her humor is deadpan and sly and it's a fascinating counterpoint to her emotive and affecting songbook. www.lisacrawley.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.bombshellradio.com www.alexgreenbooks.com IG + Bluesky: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Een podcast over een artiest – overleden in 1997 - die meer waardering verdient. En haar collega's waren het wel eens over haar kwaliteiten. Elton John, Jackson Browne, Todd Rundgren, Janis Ian, Suzanne Vega, allemaal zijn ze fan van haar. Elton droeg op zijn nieuwe album met Brandi Carlile het majestueueze openingsnummer aan haar op. En artiesten als Barbra Streisand, Three Dog Night en Blood, Sweat & Tears scoorden hits met haar liedjes. Maar haar eigen platen liepen lang niet zo hard. Dit is het verhaal van Laura Nyro.

On this week's show, we catch up with a flurry of singles from the past several weeks with a Music Dance Experience Mix Tape featuring - but not limited to - fresh tracks from HAIM, The Waterboys & Chappell Roan. All this & much, much less! Debts No Honest Man Can Pay is over 2 rock-solid hours of musical eclectica & other noodle stories. The show started in 2003 at WHFR-FM (Dearborn, MI), moved to WGWG-FM (Boiling Springs, NC) in 2006 & Plaza Midwood Community Radio (Charlotte, NC) in 2012, with a brief pit-stop at WLFM-FM (Appleton, WI) in 2004.
We explore the DNA remix of Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner" by taking a deep dive into the song's history and cultural significance, particularly how the original version became an integral part of the MP3 narrative. We also discuss the themes embedded within the lyrics - a stream-of-consciousness portrayal of someone experiencing life through a pane of glass, which gives us not only a time capsule of 1980s New York City, but also triggers our own bittersweet (painful) memories. Additionally, you'll hear about the worst bartender in St. Catharines, a chaotic mixtape, and about the recognition of our own branding: Bill as the know-it-all and Frank as the sexy bad boy. Welcome to an episode featuring the intersection of music, technology, and personal memory – pretty much a good summation of what we do here! Thank you for joining us. Here are some helpful links to further your enjoyment of the episode: First known recorded version of "Tom's Diner" The original video for the released version of "Tom's Diner" The DNA video for "Tom's Diner" (the one you probably know best) Tom's Essay by Suzanne Vega And, finally, this is incredible: "Tom's Diner" Live at Royal Albert Hall, 1986 You can find us on Instagram, Facebook, and our website.

Schon früh von seinem Vater, einem Jazz-Pianisten und -Produzenten, mit dessen großer Musikbegeisterung angesteckt, brachte für den gebürtigen Kopenhagener Lasse Matthiessen der Umzug nach Berlin ein Erweckungserlebnis mit sich: Dort habe er "herausgefunden, was mir am meisten liegt: Mir einfache Melodien auszudenken und eine Menge Stimmung um sie herum zu legen. Ich hatte immer schon Lieder geschrieben, ab da beschloss ich, sie so einfach wie möglich zu halten." Gesagt, getan, gelungen – wie zuletzt sein 2022er Album "Dreams Don't Make Noise" belegt. Dessen nachtblauer Pop-Sound mit einem Mix aus organischen Synthesizern, elektronischen Beats und samtigen Bass-Lines bietet den idealen Rahmen für Matthiessens zugleich intim-verletzlich und kraftvoll klingende Stimme, die zu einem Abenteuer in diesen ganz besonderen Stunden irgendwo zwischen Schlaf und Wachsein einlädt. Apropos Einladen: Dies taten bereits Größen wie Anna Calvi, Glen Hansard, Suzanne Vega und Clueso, die allesamt Lasse Matthiessen baten, bei ihren Auftritten das Vorprogramm zu bestreiten. Auch eigene Headliner-Konzerte des Dänen stießen auf große Resonanz, wie etwa Ende 2022 in der Kantine am Berghain. Nun kehrt er zurück auf eine Hauptstadtbühne, und hat für die Show im Badehaus nicht nur die Unterstützung seiner kompletten Band, sondern zudem noch neue Musik angekündigt.

New York's Greenwich Village is a compact sanctuary that has attracted a legion of visionaries and non-conformists who had an outsized influence on 20th-century culture – on alternative lifestyles, progressive politics, and the arts, especially music.

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticIn this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz dives into the key points and highlights of Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre's latest album, 'Missionary.' Released on December 13, 2024, through Death Row Records, Aftermath Entertainment, and Interscope Records, this album marks a significant reunion since their seminal work 'Doggystyle' in 1993, which shaped the West Coast rap scene.Analytic Dreamz discusses the album's 15 tracks, emphasizing the eclectic mix of collaborations that span genres, including singles like "Gorgeous" featuring Jhené Aiko, which peaked at No. 26 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, alongside other tracks like "Outta da Blue" with Alus and "Another Part of Me" featuring Sting. The segment outlines notable collaborations with artists such as BJ the Chicago Kid, Jelly Roll, Method Man, Eminem, 50 Cent, and even Tom Petty, showcasing how 'Missionary' blends rap with elements of soul, rock, and Middle Eastern music. Innovative samples, including The Police's "Message in a Bottle" in "Another Part of Me" and Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner" in "Sticcy Situation," are highlighted as creative touchpoints.Analytic Dreamz explores Dr. Dre's production approach, where he treats Snoop's voice as an "instrument," leading to a G-Funk sound that's both classic and modern. Snoop's lyrical maturity at 53 is a focal point, balancing his iconic "gangsta" persona with thoughtful content, all underpinned by diverse musical dynamics like piano hooks, brass sections, and string arrangements.The cultural and historical context of 'Missionary' is analyzed, presenting it as a sequel to 'Doggystyle' and a celebration of their influence over three decades. The album's themes of nostalgia mixed with innovation aim at a broad appeal across generations, with its cross-genre collaborations breaking traditional hip-hop boundaries.Promotion efforts are covered, including social media teasers like previews of "Gunz N Smoke" and strategic appearances linked to Snoop's business ventures. 50 Cent's role in marketing through humor and social media is noted as pivotal.The reception and impact of 'Missionary' are discussed, positioning it as a "cultural moment" with critical acclaim for tracks like "Hard Knocks" and "Pressure." Analytic Dreamz also reflects on how this album signifies broader trends in music towards genre blending and challenging stylistic norms.In summary, 'Missionary' is described as a landmark release that reaffirms Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre's enduring legacy in hip-hop, offering listeners a blend of nostalgia and fresh creativity in 2024.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Time to get your surfboards waxed, get into your togs,and head to the beach.....if you're in the Southern Hemisphere. While you're splashing in the southern waves, you might want to soundtrack your time with music from the band most identified with Northern Hemisphere beaches....except we're not discussing any beach songs. Huh? Welcome to episode 180 of Love That Album. It had been a while since I had my beloved team of Shane Pacey and Kerry Fristoe on the show, so I invited them to join and gave Kerry the pick of album to discuss. She selected the 1971 Beach Boys release, Surf's Up. I added their 1970 album – the debut album on the Brother Records label – Sunflower to the mix. I felt that the albums are tied together in some ways (and given the recent box set of these sessions, Feel Flows, so do the Beach Boys). They're also quite different in many ways. We're here to contrast these albums from each other, and what came before it. But wait.....we have another wonderful guest. Joining the show for a second time is Lisa Torem. She's about to publish a book in early 2025 called “Beach Boys 1965-1979: (On Track)”. She knows her BB, that's for sure. The conversation goes to interesting places as we discuss the group's relation to ecology, politics, 1950s wistfulness, lust, harmonies (not fraternal....the other kind), musical sincerity, and much more. We look into the merits of each BB as songwriter, and why it seemed their popularity declined in the US before rising slightly with the release of these albums. Shane and I crack bad puns....I get taken over the coals for reading too deeply into something (isn't that what this show is about????) In other words.....it's a typical LTA. There's a specialist podcast about the Beach Boys I recommend called “Sail On”...so check them out (AFTER you listen to us, of course). Check out Lisa's website at https://www.lisatorem.com/ to see what she's up to, and how to get a hold of her books. We discussed Suzanne Vega last year, but she's written about other musicians as well. Turns out Lisa herself is a musician / songwriter as is her daughter Madi Torem. Madi has just released a single called Look Both Ways Before You Cross My Heart written by Lisa. Give a watch of the music video...great song...Madi has a touch of Stevie Nicks to my ears. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Wk2KjbTkso You can look around Shane's work at either https://shanepaceytrio.com.au/ or at https://bondicigars.com/ There's a terrific live gig with the Trio at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1iDpLOMQTw You can read Kerry's terrific film essays at https://prowlerneedsajump.wordpress.com/ and tune into her every month on See Hear podcast.

Alt-rocking, Melbourne-based dream pop quartet Arbes (a play on trees in French), recently released their debut album Counterways. Jess Zanoni’s breathy vocals on “Full Sight” conjure the wistful embrace of Suzanne Vega. The mathematical and intricate guitar work of this track was the first to be written and built for the album, and it came about during their first full rehearsal welcoming new member, guitarist Ryan Basile, into the fold.
When developing the mp3 compression algorithm, engineer Karlheinz Brandenburg used a specific song to tweak settings and get them just right. What was that song? And why does Jonathan not like it?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
For decades—literally since Woodstock—female musicians had battled music-industry perceptions that amassing too many of them, on the radio or on the road, was bad for business. And yet, by the '90s, women were vital to the rise of alt-rock and hip-hop on the charts: from Suzanne Vega to Queen Latifah, Tracy Chapman to Sheryl Crow, Natalie Merchant to Missy Elliott. Sarah McLachlan harnessed this energy into an all-woman tour she dubbed Lilith Fair. Its string of sellouts from 1997 to '99 affirmed women's clout in the decade of grunge-and-gangsta. But the festival was also criticized for its narrow focus and for branding “women's music” as a genre. More than two decades later, Hit Parade assesses the legacy of Lilith on the charts and on the road—how its performers, attendees and musical descendants are helping to ensure the future is female.
