Keir Starmer a récupéré un Etat en piètre état : services publics délabrés, instabilité économique, hausse de la précarité… Les défis sont immenses pour le nouveau premier ministre, en poste depuis le 5 juillet. Et nul doute qu'au Royaume-Uni, l'automne s'annonce difficile. Si son parti, le Labour, a bénéficié d'une victoire écrasante il y a deux mois aux élections législatives, l'euphorie a été de courte durée pour les travaillistes. Face à l'état des finances publiques, Keir Starmer fait d'ores et déjà le choix de l'austérité et s'apprête à prendre des décisions qu'il qualifie lui-même de « douloureuses ».Dans le même temps, le premier ministre continue d'affirmer sa volonté de réformer en profondeur et d'investir pour « reconstruire les fondations » du Royaume-Uni, en commençant par remettre les services publics sur les rails, notamment le système de santé, à bout de souffle depuis des années.L'ancien avocat de 62 ans saura-t-il convaincre les Britanniques que sa feuille de route est la bonne ? A-t-il les moyens de mettre en œuvre ses ambitieuses réformes ? Et comment envisage-t-il ses relations avec l'Union européenne, dans un pays toujours très marqué par le Brexit ? Dans cet épisode du podcast « L'Heure du Monde », Cécile Ducourtieux, correspondante du Monde à Londres, répond à toutes ces questions.Un épisode écrit par Claire Leys et réalisé par Florentin Baume. Présentation et rédaction en chef : Jean-Guillaume Santi. Lecture des traductions : Pierre Lecornu.Dans cet épisode : extrait des prises de parole de Keir Starmer les 5 juillet et 27 août 2024, d'une vidéo explicative du service vidéo du « Monde » sur les émeutes racistes au Royaume-Uni publiée le 4 août 2024, d'un reportage de l'émission « C dans l'air » diffusé le 8 juillet 2024, du titre « Things Can Only Get Better » de D : Ream.

After a day of increasing speculation, Rishi Sunak called the next general election which will take place on the 4th of July. Sadly, for him, he was almost drowned by the pouring rain, and drowned out by the pounding of D:Ream's ‘Things Can Only Get Better', the song widely known as Labour's 1997 anthem.To kick of the New Statesman's general election coverage, the team review yesterday's events, the prime minister's potential motives, and the kickstarting of campaigns.Hannah Barnes, associate editor, is joined by Freddie Hayward, Rachel Cunliffe, and George Eaton.Have you got a question about the election?

Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:(1) Standing in the rain and being drowned out by protesters playing the Labour Party's 1997 victory anthem “Things Can Only Get Better” will not have been Rishi Sunak's preferred backdrop for his announcement naming the date of the next UK election.(2) UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's decision to stake the Conservative Party's future on a rare summer election was so secret that even his chancellor of the exchequer, Jeremy Hunt, appeared surprised by the plan.(3) Nvidia the chipmaker at the center of an artificial intelligence boom, gained in late trading after a bullish sales forecast showed that AI computing spending remains strong.(4) Federal Reserve officials earlier this month coalesced around a desire to hold interest rates higher for longer and “many” questioned whether policy was restrictive enough to bring inflation down to their target.(5) BHP Group just won an extra week to convince Anglo American Plc on its $49 billion takeover plan.

What on earth were they thinking? The Conservative Party's weird, dystopian, GOP-style attack ad on Sadiq Khan shows just how much the party has lost its mind. The panel unpack what was wrong with it and why the Tories might have thought this was a good idea at all. And Jeremy Hunt says £100k a year “doesn't go far” – is he right?

D:Ream is a Northern Irish/English pop rock and dance group. They had a UK No. 1 hit with "Things Can Only Get Better" in 1994. Eight more top 40 hits followed, including "U R the Best Thing" and "Shoot Me with Your Love". They released three albums, two of which reached the UK top five. The group had an all-male line-up which varied in number, but mainly centred on lead singer Peter Cunnah. The live band included keyboard player Brian Cox, who is now a renowned physicist and television presenter; although Cunnah, as the only official member, normally played keyboards (along with all other instruments) on studio recordings.D:Ream first came to prominence with the euphoric single "U R the Best Thing" in the summer of 1992, an anthemic piano-house tune which did not chart but thanks to a Sasha remix was Pete Tong's Essential Tune of 1992. "Things Can Only Get Better", released in the spring of 1993, gave the group their first chart success. "U R The Best Thing" was eventually re-released in April 1993 and gave the group their second chart hit. The band were nominated for Best Dance act in the MTV Europe music awards in 1994 and for Best Single in the Brit Awards in 1995.The band's first album, D:Ream on Volume 1, which was promoted for almost two years, produced seven singles ("Star" and "I Like It" came on a joint release as a double A-side). It was the track "Things Can Only Get Better" that gave them UK success and international fame. After they supported Take That on their tour, "Things Can Only Get Better" topped the UK Singles Chart, in early 1994. Originally released in early 1993, when the track reached No. 24 in the UK, it was later adopted by the Labour Party as their theme for the 1997 UK General Election, and consequently released for the third time; this time reaching No. 19 on the UK chart.Between 1992 and 1997, the band released two studio albums, (D:Ream on Volume 1 and World), ten different singles (two of which were released three times), and an official greatest hits album, (The Best of D:Ream). The group's record label released their first compilation, The Best of D:Ream, in 1997 instead of their third studio album, which remains unreleased. In 2006, a second collection was released, for The Platinum Collection series.When D:Ream broke through into the charts, the band's main touring line-up consisted of core member Peter Cunnah (vocalist, songwriter), Al Mackenzie (musician), and Cian McCarthy. Other main performers included physicist Brian Cox who played keyboards for several years while working towards his physics PhD before being replaced by Richard Garbutt, Derek Chai on bass, and drummer Mark Roberts. The group also used a number of guest vocalists – such as T.J. Davis, who is featured as co-lead vocalist on "The Power (Of All the Love in the World)", one of the singles taken from their second album, as well as providing backing vocals on many other songs.

Howard has sold over 8 million albums across the globe. To this day he still tours the world to sold out crowds and his new album Dialogue will be coming out soon and is the third in a series of four electronic albums.

As if 2021 wasn't already on our "worst years ever" list, it dealt us another blow on its way out. Betty White died today. She was 99, less than three weeks shy of 100. Makes you hate this year even more. And then you realize that the next year is 2020 too. (2022... we just can't escape it!) I generally like this day. It's even my wedding anniversary! David and I got married six years ago tonight. Mostly we'll be celebrating that, certainly not the year (or 5) just past... And I'm sad that I don't hold out much hope that things will be better in 2020 too either. Though a girl can hope. Today, the phone lines are open for anything you'd like to share... thoughts on the year(s) gone by, Betty White, resolutions or lack thereof... Or maybe you've spotted the missing in action so-called governor of Florida, the man I call MoRon DeathSentence. The worst COVID outbreak yet, and he's not been seen in public in over two weeks. At some point in the hour, Harvey J. Kaye will pop in to review the stupidities of 2021 and project the imperatives of 2022. And I certainly won't forget. But if you somehow miss this part, I will thank you for listening and supporting this program. Without you, I couldn't do this every day. Perhaps I'll end with a quote from Howard Jones. "Things Can Only Get Better" (if only that were true...)

We talk to Pete Cunnah - Singer songwriter and frontman for 90's Pop and Dance group D:REAM who topped the charts with their Number 1 hit 'Things Can Only Get Better'. Pete shares his journey from Derry, Northern Ireland and his early days as guitarist for the rock band 'Tie The Boy' who would garner attention from U2's record label and bring them to London. Following their break up, Pete would remain in London, falling in love with the experimental House Music scene of the time, fuelling his creativity and eventually leading to the formation of D: Ream with his songwriting partner Al Mackenzie. What followed would be many chart topping hits and a career which remains strong to this very day.This episode is brought to you by our friends Dead Skull Coffee.https://deadskullcoffee.co.uk/discount/STVPlease visit The Straight To Video Patreon Page to find out how you can help grow this show. https://www.patreon.com/stvpod

Derek and Kieran are delighted to be joined by singer and songwriter Peter Cunnah. Performing is intertwined into the DNA of Peter Cunnah. The Derry native always had a strong draw to all things music. In this weeks episode we delve into the roots of this passion for songwriting and what inspires him. With the troubles in Northern Ireland as a backdrop music was the way out and would lead Peter to great chart success with D:Ream. We discuss the hits and the problems that arose from the Tony Blair led Labour government using the hit "Things Can Only Get Better" during the 1997 British general election campaign, touring with Take That and the coffee making ability of Professor Brian Cox. D:Ream have a new album, "Open Hearts Open Minds" and is available for purchase at http://d-ream.co.uk/  Let Christy Take It are proud to present, Peter Cunnah. Special thanks to Mark Cullen for his continued hard work and excellence in editing.

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Peter Cunnah and Al Mackenzie of British Pop/Rock and Dance Band, D:ReamD:Ream is an Irish/English pop rock and dance group. They had a UK No. 1 hit with "Things Can Only Get Better" in 1994 as well as eight more top 40 hits.[1] They released three albums, two of which reached the UK top five.[1] The group had an all-male line-up which varied in number, but mainly centred on lead singer Peter Cunnah. The live band included keyboard player Brian Cox, who is now a renowned cosmologist and a television presenter; although Cunnah, as the only official member, normally played keyboards (along with all other instruments) on studio recordings. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com http://www.d-ream.co.uk/https://www.facebook.com/d.ream.co.uk/#d-ream  #harveybrownstoneinterviews

Continuing the all male vocal sets comes Men 15. The past editions of Men have related to Mardi Gras Men which have been a mixture of gay and straight male vocalists. For this first edition of Pride Men, I wanted to feature only male artists who identify as gay or non binary. I wanted this set to be Pride personified for gay men but still be accessible to all lovers of great male club anthems. Artists such as Matt Zarley, Jason Walker, Tony Moran, Brian Justin Crum and Steve Grand from the USA mix it up with Sam Smith, Will Young, Peyton, Calum Scott and D:Ream from the UK. Australia's Troye Sivan and Bulgaria's Kristian Kostov round out the artists featured here. Remixes come from 7th Heaven, Dave Aude`, Barry Harris, Russ Rich & LFB, Toy Armada & DJ GRIND, The Alias and Dirty Disco. Throw in some high energy mixes from Sagi Kariv and Tommer Mizrahi and Pride Men is set to ignite the dance floor.

You may ask yourself what the difference is between the two so I'm here to set you straight (no pun intended). Tea Dance used to begin as a brunch party with mimosas and later evolved into a late afternoon Sunday party that went on into the early evening so gay men could get their disco on and still be in bed early enough for work the next morning. Over the years, the tradition had pretty much faded but is still in place in various metropolitan areas around the country. In fact, you'll see Barry Harris frequently playing at many of these events and Houston's Dirty Disco (who own their own club) has also maintained the tradition. The past few years have brought out more vocal disco house tracks typically associated with these weekly events as opposed to the big room tribal house you normally expect. Because music has evolved, you can still throw in some modern future house tracks that have a younger gay appeal and still keep your audience. A good example from this set is the AWESOME Matt Consola, Aaron Altemose and Brenda Reed collaboration on "Every Moment." Every thing about this track screams GAY. For this set I closed it out with the house-friendly remix by Larry Peace but the Russ Rich and Andy Allder club mix is equally fantastic as a future house track that maintains all the uplifting elements that make this song so fabulous. Peyton's fantastic "Things Can Only Get Better" is another fine example of this balance as well though I went with the Eric Kupper remix since that's who jumpstarted Peyton's career. It had been my intention since last year to resurrect this series but I hadn't gotten around to it until now.

In this first edition, you will find current songs, updated 70's, 80's, and 90's classics, new songs that sample familiar beats from previous eras and lots and lots of DIVAS.

SERIES FINALE! Back in 1994, this week's guest was riding high at the top of the charts with the anthemic tune, Things Can Only Get Better. Peter Cunnah spent his pop star years living in London but the Derry-born star was eventually drawn back to the North West of Ireland last year. In our final episode of this series, he chats about childhood memories, how nature has been inspiring his new music and how he really felt about Labour hijacking his hit record. We also answer Amy's question about the difficulties of remote working - something that many of us are currently coming to terms with. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Steve Cooper talks with musician Howard Jones. Howard was one of the defining figures of mid-'80s synth pop. His music merged the technology-intensive sound of new wave with the cheery optimism of hippies and late-'60s pop. He racked up a string of hits in the mid- and late '80s before he retreated into being a cult figure in the '90s.  He released his first single, New Song, in England in the fall of 1983 and it became a big hit, peaking at number three. His second single, What Is Love, was released a few months later and it reached number two and his debut album was released in the spring of 1984 and quickly rose to number one in England. In 1985 he released Dream Into Action. The record became his most successful, reaching number ten and going platinum in the U.S. spawning the hit singles Things Can Only Get Better, Like to Get to Know You Well, Life in One Day and Look Mama. In the spring of 1986, he released Action Replay an EP of remixes that featured a new version of No One Is to Blame which became his biggest U.S. hit, peaking at number four. In 1989 his single Everlasting Love became a number one adult contemporary hit in America, reaching number 13 pop. Since then he has continued to release new music and constantly tours, whether it be his solo show or as part of the Retro Futura Tour.

Nearly 2 years after the amazing day club UP! closed it's doors, our lovely promoter Randel decided to hold a reunion party. He gathered all 10 of the original DJ's & threw an open invitation to all fans of the event and any new friends they wanted to invite. The result was a completely sold out event held at the Midnight Shift club on Sydney's Oxford Street on Saturday the 19th of November. The music was inspiring and the energy was palpable. Here is part of the set I felt privileged to play - a hands in the air trip down memory lane. Enjoy Anthony 1/ "I'M GONNA GET YOU" (Rich B. & Phil Marriott Club Mix) - DAVE AUDE` ft.

Howard Jones, Keyboardist Extraordinaire Interview Howard Jones is currently touring and will be in Leesburg, VA Nov 28, at the Tally Ho Theater. Tickets and information HERE. We caught up with Howard recently and talked ELP, his gear, his music and what's next for the pioneer keyboard artist. It was in 1983 that Howard Jones released his first single "New Song" in the UK. The expectation was that it might sell a few thousand copies and introduce his fresh new music to an unsuspecting world. The reality was quite different. The single steadily  climbed the UK chart to peak at No. 3. Then came the second single "What Is Love?" which reached No. 2, and then Things Can Only Get Better", and the classic "No One Is To Blame", which reached No. 1 in the U.S. singles chart.   Howard Jones, of course, is well-known for these and a series of colossal hit albums and 15 top-40 hit singles throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s. The British musician's work also played a pioneering role in the introduction and acceptance of synthesizers and sequencers in pop and rock recordings and performances. It would be easy for Jones to rest on his laurels and rely solely on performing his hits. However, that's simply not an option for him.  Still active, still engaged, highly creative, Howard Jones will be in Leesburg, VA Nov 28, at the Tally Ho Theater.

Daylight Saving Time is over and the days are getting shorter. The holiday decorations are coming out way too quickly, the turkeys are running for their lives and everyone's cuddling up a little closer with that person they want to spend winter huddled indoors with. (Again, maybe not in LA!). And the beats keep droppin' with dance music stayin' alive and well! From established singers like Gwen and J-Hud, to new artists like Ella's Henderson and Eyre, there's great music to be found all around. This might just be my track of the year… "We've all been played, we all get hurt Just take that pain and let the motherfucker burn And you know that in time you will find that They'll always come back, yeah they'll always come back" - Ella Eyre, "Comeback" If you heard me play at all over Halloween, you heard a lot of these tracks in my sets. George and I's "Black Widow" got such great reaction -- we were truly humbled by the response to it on the dance floor. And be sure to check out George's incredible new original production -- "I Run This" -- exclusively first here. This track is a banger and I'm so proud of him for his work on it!

'Things Can Only Get Better' sang Prof. Brian Cox when he was in D:Ream, and he was correct. Back then in the pre-Higgs Boson days, we used to all wander about, struggling to comprehend what it was that gave us all matter. Then in 2012, CERN discovered the Higgs Boson and it all changed for the better. With this in mind, please enjoy our latest episode in which Rich highlights just how much he hates Bob Monkhouse.

Play Show, or Right-Click to DownloadThis is the 84th and final 'DogBox'. Thank you to everyone who has downloaded and listened to the show, and the rally fans, from all over the world, who emailed me to share their enthusiasm for rallying and motorsport in general. It's been great fun producing the show over the last two years. Bruce.The last WRC event of 2007 and Marcus Gronholm's 150th and final event.Marcus didn't get the fairy-tale ending he'd hoped for. A strong second place behind team-mate Mikko Hirvonen was the best he could muster, while Sebastien Loeb hung on for third place, good enough to claim the 2007 drivers title.Rally Wales really threw the conditions at the crews, the rain and mud made even more difficult by stages run in darkness. And after an off late on day one, Jari-Matti Latvala showed just what he could do by winning the bulk of the stages on the final two days.There's a new generation of drivers waiting to take centre-stage, but 2007 will go down as one of the classic years in WRC history.

Rather than offer some obvious comparisons, we'll just tell you that this band plays songs that are kind of melodic, maybe even 'joyous'.You can purchase Los Campesinos from eMusic, and this track comes courtesy of Arts & Crafts.Howard Jones - Just Look At You Now.
