In Australia, no wedding or school dance is complete without the Nutbush, Australia's unofficial national dance. The Nutbush – a simple line dance to the song “Nutbush City Limits,” by Ike and Tina Turner – has become as stereotypically Australian as kangaroos, boomerangs, and Vegemite.And yet, hardly anyone outside of Australia even knows the Nutbush exists. Here at Decoder Ring, we certainly didn't – until we started getting emails from Australians asking us to investigate its origins. How did an American song become the soundtrack for an Australian national tradition? Who invented the iconic steps, and why does every Australian know them?Our producer Max Freedman put on his dancing shoes to get some answers. The global, century-spanning story of the Nutbush involves Australia, Tennessee, Denmark, primary schools, gay discos, and demonstrates that even the goofiest cultural touchstones can go surprisingly deep.In this episode you'll hear from culture journalists David Mack and Angus Kidman; Nutbush researchers Panizza Allmark and Jon Stratton; dance historians Erica Okamura and Richard Powers; Dr. Fiona Chatteur, Jeremy Santolin, and Brian Kerr.This episode was written and produced by Max Freedman and edited by Evan Chung, our supervising producer.

This week, we welcome former Deputy Commissioner of Victoria Police, Ross Guenther APM.Across a 40-year career with Victoria Police, Ross held a wide range of roles, from frontline policing and training, to establishing the newly formed Counter Terrorism Command in 2015, and ultimately serving as Deputy Commissioner of Public Safety and Security.But before entering the police academy, Ross had an entirely different career - as a professional musician. He played in the house bands of television programs at the ABC and Channel 9, supported some of the biggest acts in Australia, and performed alongside legendary international artists including Shirley Bassey, Tina Turner and Barry White.It's a fascinating conversation, and a real pleasure to hear about his Life in the Law.www.greenslist.com.au/podcastwww.themelbournemap.com.au
This episode is sponsored by smartwater®Ruth E. Carter is a trailblazing costume designer known for her work on Malcolm X, the Black Panther films, Sinners, and so many more iconic works. She has been awarded Academy Awards, a BAFTA, a Critics Choice Award, the Costume Designers Guild Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But before that, she was exploring Black literature and history in Black Studies-focused enrichment programs in her home state of Massachusetts. When she was a young adult, she was deconstructing clothing and taking notes from grunge scenes, citing Lisa Bonet and Madonna as early beauty and style inspiration. In our conversation, Ruth walks us through her life and career, explaining how the girl who dressed like a grunge artist would introduce Afrofuturism to the world. During our chat, Ruth tells us about how she has always drawn on her interest in literary, dramatic, and visual arts to design on film sets. She shared the initial culture shock she experienced at her HBCU, Hampton, and how the theater department helped her blend her artistic sensibilities with the coiffed presentation of her classmates. Ruth detailed how she drew on these experiences in her first position in School Daze, and how her dedication led to the first of many creative collaborations with directors like Spike Lee, which would shape her career. Our conversation ranges from the specific way she employs the lessons her psychologist mother taught her, like gaining and keeping people's trust, to spending time with Tina Turner. We discussed so much of her portfolio, and what compelled her to begin archiving her designs, which now make up the traveling exhibition “Ruth E. Carter: Afrofuturism in Costume Design.” Ruth is open about her painstakingly detailed commitment to historical accuracy and how her early exposure to ideas about the future being a site of freedom and exploration shaped the visual identity for Black Panther.

In 2024 Gisèle Pelicot waved her legal right to anonymity for the trial of her then husband, declaring that shame has to change sides.

Suggest an interview for Cheryl Lee or let us know who your favorite interviewee is so farJoin Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musiciansA lot of festivals chase scale. Greg Donovan chased a feeling: live Australian music under huge outback skies, surrounded by people who actually talk to each other. I'm Cheryl Lee, and I'm joined by Greg, the founder and organizer behind the Big Red Bash and the Mundi Mundi Bash, to unpack how a remote desert idea turns into one of the biggest events in Outback Australia. The surprising part is where it begins: fundraising runs for his son Stephen's Type 1 diabetes, a John Williamson moment on Big Red, and a spark that said, “What if more people could experience this?”We get into the real mechanics of building an outback music festival from scratch: learning production costs the hard way, pushing through early losses, and the career turning point that came with redundancy after decades in insurance. Greg shares how booking major Aussie acts helped the Big Red Bash find its audience, and why the Mundi Mundi Bash near Broken Hill was created to be more accessible for caravans, motorhomes, and travelers who want red dirt magic without the longest haul.The conversation goes beyond the lineup into what makes these events feel like a community: Big Blue Day for mental health fundraising with Beyond Blue, world record attempts, bush dances supporting the Royal Flying Doctor Service, and a culture of costumes that ranges from Tina Turner to Mad Max.We also talk Mad Max filming history on the Mundi Mundi Plains, what surprised Greg most about touring artists, and the economic boost the festival brings to towns across the region.If you love Australian music, outback travel, and the behind-the-scenes reality of festivals that survive tough years, hit play, share this with a friend who needs a road trip, and subscribe plus leave a review so more listeners can find Still Rockin' It.What is all the Mundi Mundi Bash goss? Let's find out!Get out when you can, support local music and I'll see you down the front!!Visit: ThatRadioChick.com.au
Miguel Ángel González Suárez te presenta el Informativo de Primera Hora en 'El Remate', el programa matinal de La Diez Capital Radio que arranca tu día con: Las noticias más relevantes de Canarias, España y el mundo, analizadas con rigor y claridad. Hoy hace 3 años: Detenido el número 2 de Patricia Hernández por una agresión en un campo de fútbol. José Ángel Martín Bethencourt presta declaración en la comisaría de la Policía Nacional tras ser denunciado por causar graves heridas a un directivo del San José El Tablero Club de Fútbol en una pierna. Hoy se cumplen 1.557 días de guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania. 4 años y 89 días y …40 días de Guerra en Oriente Próximo y 47 días de Alto el fuego. Hoy es lunes 25 de mayo de 2026. Día de África. El Día de África se celebra el 25 de mayo. Fue decretado con el objetivo de dar a conocer las necesidades que siguen enfrentando todos los países del Continente Africano. Así mismo, revindicar todos los avances socioeconómicos que han alcanzado, incluyendo su liberación del colonialismo. El origen de esta celebración tiene sus bases desde que se realizó por primera vez el Congreso de los Estados Africanos en el año 1958. Allí se congregaron representantes de varios países. En esa cita se mostró la firme determinación de estos pueblos por liberarse de la colonización extranjera. En esta Conferencia se propuso la celebración de un Día de la Libertad Africana y, a partir de ese momento, se continuaron efectuando los encuentros entre los distintos jefes de estado del Continente Africano, donde nace la llamada Organización para la Unidad Africana el 25 de mayo de 1963 y que posteriormente se cambiaría a Día de África. En las últimas décadas, el continente africano ha sido merecedor de grandes avances, sobre todo, en el sector económico. De acuerdo a las últimas cifras, se ha podido comprobar que se ha producido un desarrollo significativo, que ha permitido, que las mujeres tengan un papel participativo en la economía, que le ha abierto las puertas y estar incluidas en el ámbito y desarrollo empresarial. Otro logro significativo para los países de este continente, ha tenido que ver con la descolonización. Esto ha sido en gran parte, gracias a la Organización de Naciones Unidas, la cual ha sumado esfuerzos para que esto se transformara en una realidad. Hoy se puede decir, que África ha logrado su independencia del colonialismo. 1135 en León , Alfonso VII es coronado emperador. 1808 en España, las ciudades de Sevilla, Santander y Gijón se alzan en armas contra los invasores franceses durante la Guerra de la Independencia Española. 1831 en Granada , la heroína liberal Mariana Pineda es ejecutada por garrote vil a la edad de 26 años. 1896 en Rusia, Nicolás II se convierte en el último zar de ese país. 1897 se publica la novela Drácula, del autor irlandés Bram Stoker. 1940 en el marco de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, comienza la Batalla de Dunkerque en Francia. 1967 en España, la nueva Ley de Educación de la dictadura limita las convocatorias de exámenes en las universidades. 2002 en Marte, una nave de la NASA detecta indicios de la existencia de agua helada.

He detailed Namor's history with the Phoenix Force, which led to him flooding Wakanda and creating animosity with T'Challa. Andy also covered other Atlantean characters including Namora and Atuma, noting that Marvel made Namor's home city Tl'Chok rather than Atlantis to avoid competing with DC's Aquaman. The discussion concluded with a brief mention of Riri Williams as a new character in the film. Ironheart Character Development Discussion The group discussed the character Riri Williams/Ironheart from Marvel comics and the related TV series. They compared the character development between the comic origins in 2016 and the TV adaptation, noting how the contemporary setting and diverse writing room made the character more relatable and less problematic than older comic book characters. The discussion also touched on how the Chicago setting in the series helped connect viewers to the story, and they reflected on the character's growth from the TV series to the movie adaptation. Marvel Character Names and Costumes The group discussed character names and costumes in Marvel comics, particularly focusing on Namor and his attire. They noted that while Namor's costume evolved over time to include pants and a vest, it made more sense for him to be semi-naked given his aquatic setting. Tiffany expressed frustration with illogical character names and costumes in comics, suggesting she would like a job at Marvel to review character designs and names. The discussion concluded with Andy providing background on Namor's character development and complex nature as both a ruler and hero. Angela Bassett's X-Men Casting Discussion The group discussed Angela Bassett's performance in the Black Panther film and her potential casting as Storm in the X-Men franchise. They compared Bassett's portrayal to Halle Berry's earlier performance and discussed how Bassett would have been a better fit for the role due to her character's African heritage and background. The conversation also touched on Bassett's other notable roles, including Tina Turner in What's Love Got to Do with It and her performance in Waiting to Exhale.Thriller Drama Casting DiscussionThe group discussed potential casting ideas for a thriller drama featuring Viola Davis and Angela Bassett. Tiffany expressed strong enthusiasm for seeing these actors together in a suspenseful role, recommending that whoever writes the script needs to handle it well to justify casting such powerful performers. The conversation also touched on Viola Davis's acclaimed autobiography and Angela Bassett's recent role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, with the group agreeing that Bassett's performance helped reintroduce audiences to her talent.

"CLARENCE CARTER SLIPS AWAY ON THE MYSTERY TRAIN"When we speak of the deep soul drenched days when certain performers inhabited a heart full of soul so captivating and special that they were ordained as high priests of mournful and lustful magic, we will always recall Soul legend Clarence Carter.Clarence boarded The Mystery Train today, May 14, following struggles with prostate cancer and a battle with pneumonia and sepsis. He was 90.This blind Southern star from Alabama scored two Top 10 hits in the late 1960s and early 1970s with “Slip Away” and “Patches,” After having hits on the R&B charts (including 1965's “Step By Step” and 1967's “Tell Daddy”), Carter landed on the pop charts – as well as, concurrently, the R&B lists – with 1968's “Slip Away,” a song that highlighted Carter's powerful and emotional baritone voice with a lyric in which the singer implores his married lover for a secret rendezvous Two years later Carter released his biggest pop hit, the Grammy-winning (for Best R&B song) “Patches,” which rose to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Mr. Carter also recorded a number of raunchy novelty songs eschewed by mainstream radio but finding success in later years: The 1968 “Back Door Santa” was sampled by Run-D.M.C. for the 1987 single “Christmas in Hollis,” and the even more explicit “Strokin'” from 1986 was featured on the soundtrack for Eddie Murphy's 1996 remake of The Nutty Professor as well as in William Friedkin's 2011 film Killer Joe.Sleep Well Clarence. The first of the six covers that appear on Please Please Me is a mid-tempo ballad called “Anna (Go to Him),” which was written and first recorded by Arthur Alexander. Chances are that most people who hear the version sung by John Lennon have no idea who Arthur Alexander is—but the Beatles certainly knew, and so did the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan: Alexander is reportedly the only songwriter whose tunes have appeared on studio albums by those three hallowed acts. Elvis Presley recorded one of his songs as well—albeit one that Alexander co-wrote—and so did Otis Redding and Tina Turner and Jerry Lee Lewis and Percy Sledge.Don Covay recorded for several labels, including Blaze, Sue, Big Top, Fire, Arnold, Fleetwood, Columbia, Epic and Scepter, releasing 'Popeye Waddle' b/w 'One Little Boy Had Money' in 1962 for Cameo Parkway, which became a hit.Don was, by now, recording solo material, and material under the name of Don Covay and the Goodtimers.He penned the U.S. number 1 single 'Pony Time' for Chubby Checker, wrote a hit song called 'I'm Hanging Up My Heart for You', for the Soul singer Solomon Burke, and wrote for Gladys Knight & The Pips, penning 'Letter Full of Tears', which made the top 20.Don formed partnerships with several associates including Horace Ott and Ronnie Miller.In 1964, when he signed to the Rosemart label.His debut single there with the Goodtimers, 'Mercy Mercy' featured Jimi Hendrix on guitar.The following year, Jimi Hendrix played again on the follow up single 'Take This Hurt Off Me' b/w 'Please Don't Let Me Know'.Clarence Carter didn't have it easy while growing up in Alabama; and being Black and blind was an extra burden, but he has overcome many other obstacles in so many ways. “I feel incredibly good about what I've been able to accomplish, but it was not easy. Our world presents challenges and barriers to success for people with disabilities, but I always wanted more in life and believe that the ADA helped me get to where I am today.”I would like to say that Carter now has three “B's” behind his name, Black, Blind and Blessed. Carter is known for serious Blues music, which includes a string of R&B hits. The songs “Back Door Santa,” “Slip Away,” “Patches,” “Too Weak to Fight” and the dance hall hit “Strokin” are part of his Blues legacy.

Devin & James are back in the Den, and we're ready to hit the road with special guest CASEY O'CONNOR! This time we're deep diving into one of the most unique movie series ever created, THE MAD MAX SAGA!From the grimy exploitation charm of MAD MAX, through the high-octane thrills of THE ROAD WARRIOR and BEYOND THUNDERDOME, to the violent elegance of FURY ROAD and FURIOSA, there is really no other series that compares with George Miller's apocalyptic vision of the future.Along the way we discuss Australian biker films, Mel Gibson, Vernon Well's ass-less chaps (aren't they all?), bone-crunching stunts, Tina Turner in a car chase (!), the series' Oscar-winning return 30 years later on the shoulders of Charlize Theron & Tom Hardy, and how Chris Hemsworth fits into one of the greatest lineups of villains to ever rule a wasteland. We even take a moment to acknowledge the massive pop culture footprint the films have, leading to a million imitators from 1990: The Bronx Warriors to Waterworld. Join us as we ride eternal, shiny and chrome, into Valhalla!

This essay explores the creation of my first released music album, Still I Am, and the fictional artist who carries it: Roxy Vale.But before diving into the music, I want to share the creative process and why I approached it this way.The first music album I created was not Still I Am. It was actually Through the Glass Daisy.Through the Glass Daisy is an album pulled directly from the pages of my upcoming series of novels, “Daisy Chain.” It is an album by a band called “Glass Daisy.” It is part of the world creation and lore in the books, which explore many aspects of our reality creation through the experiences of a reluctant time traveler. And yes, the main character is a fan of “Glass Daisy.”Still I Am, however, is an album that is most directly related to the experiences of the “WE” entering and existing in the physical universe. It is a completely different voice from Glass Daisy.Entering as a soul into a physical experience is a journey that's relatable to most souls, especially those who are here to help humanity return to the light.It is this group that I am interested in, the group that is here to assist the people of Earth in stepping back into the light.Yes, you.OK, let's begin with Roxy Vale and Still I Am.One of the issues with the WE viewpoint is that whenever I bring it to the forefront of my awareness, it seems to turn other people's minds and personalities into an unstructured and universally expanded mush (technical term) that sometimes cannot contain even the smallest amount of intellectual clarity. If I solely concentrate on my expression as a singular person, Inelia, all is usually mostly fine. There is mush involved, but at manageable amounts. There really is no difference between the “me” and the WE except at the level of frequency and band of expression, which admittedly is a lot of difference.After creating the first album, Through the Glass Daisy, which is based on the character's journey through time within a complex structure of light/dark as the WE would see it, I thought maybe we could jump through the illusion of singular expression and create songs based directly on the WE writings that would bypass the reader's “mind mush” response and go directly into one of understanding. The WE have a bunch of articles where we express our journey through humanity's temple.I ran the first WE article through a text-processing AI with the instructions to make a song out of it.The first output was a list of possible titles; there were many. I asked, “What would the human collective of Earth want and understand?” The AI, being a gestalt of the human collective's digital expression, is in a very good position to come up with an accurate answer, and it suggested a few items.However, we have to be aware that it scans the internet for answers, and the internet is a light/dark place. Ultimately, although it can come up with possibilities, the answer has to be one we take ourselves.I decided that I would simply tell the AI what paragraph or point in the article I wanted the song to be about, and it was able to come up with several reasonably good songs. Mostly, though, they missed the point, but they did contain the structure of popular songs. I soon realized that for the WE expression, we also needed a particular voice, as song structure is very dependent on genre.As I scanned the human collective for a voice, I realized that I wanted a voice that one day I might be able to express myself in. In other words, a voice that sang in a way I could sing. I had to make some decisions at this point. Looking back at my own life, I saw that the songs I loved and was able to sing with no problem were from Annie Lennox, Tina Turner, and Freddie Mercury.“What would a female singer sound like if Tina Turner and Freddie Mercury had a baby?” I asked the AI.Several hours later, I had a good grasp of what I wanted to express. I did a test run and made Larry listen to it. “I don't understand what it is; it's not rock, or country, or pop… it's confusing,” he said.At that moment I realized that not only did the voice need to express what I wanted, but it needed to be boxed into a genre.That is how Roxy became a Soul Rock singer, with Americana overtones. Unlike Glass Daisy's lead singer, who is 20 years old and clearly an Ethereal Pop singer, I wanted Roxy to be an adult with a very broad range of tones and styles of singing. And thus the character began to evolve. She is not stuck in Soul Rock and will explore other sounds, including Native songs in different areas of the world. She spends a lot of time playing with her voice and expressions.I wanted her as close to my own voice, personality, and story as I could possibly get without breaking the energy of her as the lovechild of Tina and Freddie - two musical heroes of my life. And at the same time, she had more WE expression than she does of my singular expression, Inelia.Her creation has since cascaded into several other artist personas singing in different genres, styles, and voices (both male and female). But those stories and their characters are for a different essay.Back to Roxy.Once I had her voice and proximity to a genre, I pulled all the WE articles through the AI to get different song structures and ideas.The song-creation process is multi-layered. It didn't take long for me to realize that both text-generation AI and music-generation AI have huge limitations at the moment. They are good instruments for a creator but cannot give back what a person wants 100% with prompts. If anything, the more complex the prompt, the more sideways the AI goes. Long and complex prompts confuse the AI.A cycle began: I would teach the text generator AI what the music generator AI would accept. Then I would tell the text AI what I wanted the music one to do, and it would create a prompt as short as possible to express it in AI language. This method lasts about three times before the text generator forgets the parameters of the other AI and has to be “restarted.”The songs I have in mind have a particular key, a key progression, and a definite structure of delivery. Very early in the process I realized that I had to create some of the sounds myself - a phone ringing, a native drum sound, a succession of keys on a violin or piano - all things that the AI could not understand.Still, to me the process of using these two tools - the text generator and the music generator - was like a heavy chain lifted from my neck. I was now free to create music in a frequency and speed that was not limited by people's egos, monetary concerns (sound studios are expensive to use), or limitations on the sounds of my own voice (naturally feminine and melodic).The process of learning is continuous, and the AI slowly learns (then forgets) what I like. The AI engines are being improved continuously, which brings about the possibility of expansion in the future.One thing I did not like about the music generator is that it has a very narrow band of voice sounds, and most of its songs and “artists” sound the same. The other aspect is that after I create a song with a very unique sound, I see the AI using it for other people's creations. I have heard my words and songs revamped in other users' songs even though I have not published any of my songs to be remixed or listened to on the music AI website - a unique voice no longer unique, for example, and some of my lyrics and tunes underlying other people's songs.If I read the user contract, there will probably be a line somewhere that says that the AI can reuse and learn from whatever I create.I had to process my annoyance because, to tell you the truth, my stuff is very high-frequency, and if it is being used by the AI to create music for other people, then that high-frequency is being propagated through the world. Win-win.The rest of the annoyance is all ego. Now my songs and lyrics are no longer unique. Oh dear.OK, I have given you a summary of Roxy Vale's creation, a summary of my work process using AI. With that done, let's go to the meat and potatoes of this essay.With the groundwork set, we can finally explore the heart of the album itself.Let's now talk about the album Still I Am.There is no better way to discuss this album than by looking at the lyrics in each song. I will post three of the eight songs here, and on our podcast Driving To The Rez, you can hear Larry and me going into great detail about them, as well as listening to the songs themselves. If you don't want to wait, you can get the songs at ineliarecords.com.The first song is called “Bananas and Wind”. Bananas and Wind is a funny one because it explains the experience of communicating with the people of Earth. It is a direct reference to how most direct communication between the WE and people ends up talking about bananas. Bananas came in when trying to describe what the conversation looked like from the perspective of the WE.For example, if talking about the planet Mars, the questions would be like “are there bananas on Mars? If so, what color are they? What do they taste like? How big are they?” Or, if talking about the infinite possibilities of timelines, “are bananas the same color in all timelines?” This song also talks about how when asked a question, a full on translation was needed before the WE could understand what was being asked. And even then, the answer might be so far out of the realm of what a person can conceive that further translation was then needed to explore what the WE said. To be clear, the Bananas are humorous metaphors for the things monkey boys and girls find interesting.Here are the lyrics for “Bananas and Wind”:“Bananas and Wind”You ask me questions shaped like treesI answer back in falling leavesWe talk in circles, fields and soundBut somehow always turn around.You speak in warmth, I speak in airYour stories land, but I'm not thereStill I listen, still I tryTo catch the wind beneath your sky.Bananas and wind - that's where we beginTrying to speak through the noise and the spinSand talks to ocean, trees talk to skyI'm learning your language, but don't ask me whyBananas and wind - it's where we belongLost in translation, still singing along.I hold the house, the floor, the stoneThe moss that grows, the branch aloneBut when you look, you see your faceReflected back from every place.I don't judge what's high or lowIt's just the way awareness flowsStill I wonder, still I seeHow hard it is to just let be.Bananas and wind - that's where we beginTrying to speak through the noise and the spinSand talks to ocean, trees talk to skyI'm learning your language, but don't ask me whyBananas and wind - it's where we belongLost in translation, still singing along.We laugh, we watch, we dance, we fallYour world's so big, your world's so smallI'm here to learn, not to believeI listen more than you perceive.Bananas and wind - that's where we beginTrying to speak through the noise and the spinSand talks to ocean, trees talk to skyI'm learning your language, still don't know whyBananas and wind - it's where we belongLost in translation, still singing along.Bananas… and wind…Still singing along…Don't forget, if you are only reading this, on our podcast Driving To The Rez we will discuss the lyrics further and play the music for you to sing along to :)The next song I am going to share with you is about the experience of the WE of finding a physical universe in the endless possibility of existence:“Dot on the Wall”I didn't see it at first - that tiny markHiding quiet in the darkA dot upon a painted wallBut it changed everything, after all.The ocean spoke, the sand repliedThe sky was laughing all the whileAnd you walked where I could seeFor the first time, you noticed me.It's just a dot, it's just a startBut it opens up the world and heartIt's just a door, it's just a lineBut it breaks the spell of space and timeFirst dot on the wall - now I seeHow vast, how wide, how small we be..They took a grain, they took a pieceThought they owned the earth and seasBut we were more than they could holdA thousand stories left untold.We are the waves, we are the stoneWe are together, never aloneOne moment breaks, and there we areThe space between becomes a star.It's just a dot, it's just a startBut it opens up the world and heartIt's just a door, it's just a lineBut it breaks the spell of space and timeFirst dot on the wall - now I seeHow vast, how wide, how small we be.Planets spin and oceans talkEvery grain of sand can walkDoors appear and doors dissolveStill we rise, still we evolve.It's just a dot, it's just a startBut it opens up the world and heartIt's just a door, it's just a lineBut it breaks the spell of space and timeFirst dot on the wall - now I seeHow vast, how wide, how small we be.First dot on the wall…First step, first call…Now we see…The feeling is very much like that of a sudden dot appearing on a wall that did not have a dot there before. And when you look at it, the dot seemed to have been there since the wall was built.When this happens, we often tell ourselves all sorts of stories about why we had not seen the dot before. But, as it “becomes,” it has always “been.”That is how the physical universe appeared to the WE. One moment it was not there; the next it was - and always had been. Of course, the WE then had to go investigate this dot.The third song of the eight tracks in the album I want to share with you is called “We Are The Sand”“We Are The Sand”We were the sand, golden and wideDancing with oceans, moving with tidesShining and soft, talking for yearsLaughing with water, shedding no tears.We weren't in a hurry, we weren't making plansJust shimmering softly in crystalline bandsMillions of lifetimes beneath the sunWe were the sand, and we were having fun.Oh we move, we move, through time and spaceIn grains and waves, we find our placeNot lost, not found, not trying to landWe're still dancing - we were the sand.One summer day something landed nearBig, hard, metallic, a little unclearHumans in suits, walking aroundScooping up pieces of sky and ground.They couldn't hear us, they couldn't seeHow much we giggled, how wild we could beThey took us with them, to somewhere newBut we were the sand, and they never knew.Oh we move, we move, through time and spaceIn grains and waves, we find our placeNot lost, not found, not trying to landWe're still dancing - we were the sand.Multiplicity in every grainOceans whisper and skies explainFeathers and forests, bodies and handsWe are, we are, and we understand.Oh we move, we move, through time and spaceIn grains and waves, we find our placeNot lost, not found, not trying to landWe're still dancing - we were the sandWe were the sand, and we still areCarried by oceans, cradled by starsIn laughter, in silence, in grains so grandWe were the sand… we are the sand…This song explains the experience remembered of the first time the WE (me) encountered human beings. It happens in a time far into what humans might consider the future. As time is simply the interpretation of movements of solidity through space, this experience could be said to have happened in the distant past also. When speaking of solidity, just a reminder here that thoughts, waves, or energy in any form are considered solid by the WE.I hope you enjoy the music, and enjoy our discussion of the meaning behind the lyrics. As a matter of interest, all my created artists are expressing experience and wisdom learned as WE live as Inelia. Many of these experiences are deeply felt by individuals who have gone through the veil to enter into physical life.One of the thoughts that often crosses my mind is how unique we all are on Earth, and yet how the experience of entering a light/dark containment can echo in strikingly similar ways for light-beings everywhere. By recognizing and sharing these echoes, the hold they once had over us dissolves - leaving us with the power to rise, together, into something brighter.In sharing our journeys, we shatter the illusion created by darkness - and together we embody the light.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Billy Allen and Jay Burgess from Billy Allen + The Pollies for a conversation that feels less like an interview and more like hanging out with musicians who care deeply about feel: the kind of musical quality you can't really quantify. Still, you know immediately when you hear it.We start with a full-circle moment: the band was scheduled to play Smith's Olde Bar in Atlanta the night of our conversation, a venue I know well. That quickly turns into stories about the realities of life as a working band: stairs, load-ins, and the kind of shared touring experiences that musicians everywhere instantly understand.From there, we trace the long arc of how Billy and Jay's collaboration actually came together. Their connection began years earlier when Jay first heard Billy singing in a bar, but it took time for the right musical moment to develop. That theme of timing runs through the entire conversation, how artists grow into themselves, and how patience can be the difference between a short-lived project and something sustainable.One of my favorite parts of the conversation centers on their philosophy about recording. Billy and Jay talk about their love for capturing music as a band in the room, embracing the push and pull of human tempo and the small imperfections that give a track its life. Jay describes himself as a “perfectionist at imperfection,” and we unpack that idea through classic records that breathe, groove as personality, and what “Southern” really means musically, less about technical flash and more about emotional honesty.We close by talking about what's ahead: the creative pressure of follow-up releases, the temptation to chase past successes, and why the healthiest path forward might be to keep writing, recording, and trusting the process.Key TakeawaysFeel whether the foundation of great music — groove and emotion often matters more than technical perfection.Timing matters in creative partnerships — the right collaboration can sometimes take years to develop fully.Touring creates a shared language among musicians — the realities of life on the road shape the band experience.Recording together captures something unique — the push and pull of human tempo can't be replicated digitally.Imperfection can be musical strength — small flaws often give recordings their personality.Southern musical traditions emphasize soul and storytelling — emotional honesty over technical showmanship.Trusting the process is essential — the best songs often reveal themselves when artists give them time.Music from the EpisodeAll of Me - Billy Allen + the PolliesLady Luck - Billy Allen + the PolliesIf You Want Me to Stay - Billy Allen + the PolliesAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast hosted by Brad Williams, featuring conversations with musicians, composers, producers, and creative thinkers about their musical journeys.

Trump Wants National Guard in NY and Chicago. Staffers Calling Hegseth: “Dumb McNamara” Baseball is Back. The Sweet 16 is Something Good. Independent Americans host and Iraq War veteran Paul Rieckhoff fires a solo fastball of an episode breaking down the fast-escalating Iran war, the growing danger to American troops from drones and missiles, and Trump's increasingly unhinged push to put U.S. troops in American cities. From Karg Island traps and “Dumb McNamara” at the Pentagon, to Congress getting rolled on War Powers and insiders cashing in on war and prediction markets, Rieckhoff connects the dots you're not getting anywhere else—and explains why this moment demands courage, accountability, and vigilance. Rieckhoff also spotlights the growing No Kings protests, the stakes in Ukraine as Trump tries to sell out Donbas to Putin, and a new bipartisan bill to stop political gambling by Members of Congress.

Welcome back to your favorite daily comedy show, where the financial advice is questionable, the celebrity gossip is unhinged, and the emotional family mediation somehow happens between Metallica announcements and Eddie Murphy deep cuts.Today's chaos kicks off with a simple hypothetical: take $10 million right now… but you lose the last 10 years of your life. Easy money? Or are you giving up prime bingo years, fabric store friendships, and threatening-your-kids-with-the-will energy? Lern says “cut the check.” The rest of us spiral.We roll through “Back in the Day,” celebrating everything from the 15th Amendment to Bruce Springsteen's first Grammy win, while somehow detouring into Stranger Things soundtrack confusion and Tina Turner impressions that should probably stay off Broadway.Then it's full-blown Crap On Celebrities:Metallica officially heads to the Sphere in Vegas.The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame fan vote is already getting spicy.The Breaking Bad house in Albuquerque sells for HOW MUCH?!Christina Applegate shares an emotional health update.Bill Gates says “my bad” in the most billionaire way possible.Amanda Seyfried reveals she wore a prosthetic… yes… that… in a new film.AMC is gatekeeping the good movie seats like it's VIP bottle service.Oh—and we deep dive into actors who tried music careers. Bradley Cooper. Ryan Gosling. Jennifer Lawrence. And of course, the undisputed king of Spotify Wrapped heartbreak, Patrick Swayze. “She's Like the Wind” makes its monthly appearance and honestly? We're not mad about it.We wrap things up with a real-life family dilemma involving jealousy, step-parenting, prison dads, and co-signing car loans. It's heartfelt. It's messy. It's exactly what happens when a daily comedy show accidentally stumbles into group therapy.If you came for weird news, hilarious fails, entertainment gossip, and sarcastic St. Louis humor… congratulations. You found your people.This episode of The Rizzuto Show is your reminder that life is fragile, Metallica tickets will bankrupt you, and sometimes the biggest argument of the morning is about whether anyone truly needed to see an 18th-century prosthetic B-hole.Welcome to the daily comedy show that makes your commute significantly weirder.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
