Hello and welcome to How Did I Get Here? From The Vault! Today we go back to episode 88 for a great conversation with rock and roll legend, Hunt Sales (Tin Machine, Iggy Pop, Todd Rundgren) originally released on July 24, 2012! Below are my original notes form the show.    My guest for episode 88 is the great Hunt Sales! Hunt is a rock and roll treasure. Wether he's being the backbone and backbeat of Iggy Pop's "Lust For Life", the backbone, backbeat and personality of Tin Machine (Hunt's band with David Bowie) or the songwriting & drumming lead singer of his newest band, The Hunt Sales Memorial, he's playing with the kind of passion that moves you. or at least, moves me. My friend Bevis (Griffin, who's been a guest on this show), texted me Saturday about havin Hunt on the show. I flipped-out and sad, YES! so, yesterday hunt came over to the apartment and we got to talk. We got to patch-up some weirdness that was lingering between from a record  we worked on over a decade ago and he told me about his journey. From being around his father, Soupy's musician friends, playing his first session at 10 years old, Todd Rundgren at 15, Iggy Pop and David Bowie, working and most of all, staying true to what you do. Hunt is an inspiration. He plays from his heart. He always has. Check out the videos on our facebook page and you'll see what I mean. This conversation inspired me to no end. Thank you, Hunt. ciao, jg    Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you pod. Send someone the gift of Johnny with Cameo.   If you feel so inclined.

The Record Store Day Podcast with Paul Myers

Daryl Hall has been one of the most identifiable voices and songwriters on records and radios for over half a century and he's still doing it. As the lead singer and principal songwriter in Hall & Oates he had a string of hits (quite a few of them co-written with Sara and Janna Allen) that included "She's Gone," "Sara Smile," "Rich Girl," "One on One," "I Can't Go For That," "Make My Dreams (Come True)," "Private Eyes," "Out of Touch," and more. And as a solo artist he's made landmark records like Sacred Songs (with King Crimson's Robert Fripp) and last year's D album, a collaboration with Dave Stewart (Eurythmics). In this comprehensive chat, we talk about Hall's entire career, including his successful web series, Live From Daryl's House, and his work with record making legends like Arif Mardin, Thom Bell, Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff, The Temptations, Todd Rundgren, Elvis Costello, and Bob Clearmountain.  The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.  Executive Producers (for Record Store Day) Michael Kurtz and Carrie Colliton.

Equally at home in front of 100 or 15,000, Eliot has performed on the worlds most legendary stages, including Madison Square Garden, Japan's Budokan, Red Rocks, The Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall as well as Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Conan O'Brien, The Today Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live and many others. Eliot has carved out his own distinctive musical brand and sonic landscape and has written, performed and produced ten solo releases. There are many who shaped Eliot's music and writing. As a guitar player, definitely Jeff Beck who I've been listening to all my life, as well as Billy Gibbons who I had the great fortune of working with recently, and Peter Frampton who I actually jammed with when I was 14 yrs old.

Embracing the counterculture movement, he found his first taste of musical success with Nazz, where he served as the lead guitarist and primary songwriter, crafting songs that were both innovative and accessible. Tracks such as “Open My Eyes” and “Hello It's Me.” Rundgren's leap from band member to solo superstar came in the early 70s. It was the seminal album Something/Anything? that truly set him apart.

With them he crafted extended compositions that featured dynamic shifts, complex time signatures, and an eclectic mix of rock, pop, and classical influences. Beyond his achievements as a performer, Todd Rundgren is also revered for his pioneering work as a record producer. His studio prowess and keen musical instincts have made him one of the most sought-after producers in rock history. Rundgren's production credits include his work on Meat Loaf's album Bat Out of Hell. This record, one of the best-selling albums of all time, showcases his ability to harness raw talent and transform it into something transcendent. Todd also lent his production genius to artists such as Badfinger, Grand Funk Railroad, The New York Dolls, Hall & Oates, Patti Smith, XTC, and many more. A lifelong admirer of The Beatles, Todd's musical style and production techniques bear the unmistakable influence of the Fab Four. He has collaborated with Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band and he has inspired a diverse array of artists across multiple genres. As we reflect on the life and career of Todd Rundgren, it becomes clear that his influence on music is both profound and far-reaching. He's a gifted performer, songwriter and trailblazer.

This episode of Famous Lost Words is dedicated to legendary Canadian broadcaster John Donabie, who passed away a few days ago. John’s interviews have been prominently featured on Famous Lost Words and he also joined us on a couple of occasions to share his incredible stories. And great broadcaster and a wonderful man, John Donabie will be missed. For this, the last episode of season 10, we have quite a collection of artists. First up is a rather feisty 1988 interview with Canadian legend Gordon Lightfoot. We already have lots of Lightfoot content in the archives, which we put together for our tribute to him upon his passing in 2023 – one of our most listened to episodes. But we came across this 1988 interview just a few days ago – and it’s a good one. Gord is looking back on his career as he approaches his 50th birthday. But Lightfoot is pretty spirited in this chat with Gord James. Next up is a fascinating chat with Todd Rundgren. We’re date stamping these clips at about 1979 as Todd talks about his solo music, his work with the band Utopia and his fascination with new technology, including the early days of music videos. This guy’s mind never stops. Then we have an early ‘80s chat with Pat Benatar as she chats with broadcaster Ingrid Schumacher about life on the road and the price of fame. Plus, we have a special bonus cut as Pat ponders her long-term influence on other aspiring musicians. And we finish up with some Cool Song Facts, and we run the gamut here – with information spanning centuries, from Beethoven to Paul Simon to Earth Wind & Fire. Famous Lost Words, hosted by Christopher Ward and Tom Jokic, is heard in more than 100 countries worldwide and on radio stations across Canada, including Newstalk 1010 Toronto, CJAD 800 Montreal, 580 CFRA Ottawa, AM 800 CKLW Windsor, 610 CKTB St Catharines, CFAX Victoria, AM1150 Kelowna and 91x in Belleville. It is in the Top 20% of worldwide podcasts based on the number of listeners in the first week.

Joey Molland, an exceptional guitarist, singer, and songwriter, joined Badfinger at the height of their success and played a pivotal role in shaping the band's timeless sound. Hailing from Liverpool, the same city that gave the world The Beatles, Molland brought a unique energy and creativity to Badfinger, solidifying their place in music history. Badfinger was one of the first bands signed to The Beatles' Apple Records, a fact that forever intertwined their legacy with the Fab Four. Songs like "Come and Get It," "Day After Day," and "No Matter What" became anthems of their time. The Badfinger-Beatles Connection Badfinger's rise to fame owes much to their connection with The Beatles. Handpicked by Paul McCartney , their first major hit, "Come and Get It," was written and produced by McCartney himself. George Harrison and Todd Rundgren also contributed to the production of some of their most memorable albums. Fans of The Beatles will find a treasure trove of stories and insights here as we delve into how Badfinger became the torchbearers of the British Invasion's next wave. The Tragic Side of Success Despite their immense talent and commercial success, Badfinger's story is one of heartbreak and tragedy. We explore the darker side of their meteoric rise, including the mismanagement and financial woes that plagued the band. From their tumultuous relationship with their manager to the devastating losses of band members Pete Ham and Tom Evans, we uncover the heartbreaking events that turned Badfinger's dream into a nightmare. Badfinger's Timeless Legacy Badfinger's music continues to resonate with audiences around the world. Their influence can be heard in countless bands and artists who followed in their footsteps. Tracks like "Baby Blue," used in the finale of Breaking Bad, have introduced new generations to their work. Joey Molland remains a custodian of Badfinger's legacy. For Baby Boomers who grew up with their music, and for younger fans discovering their brilliance, their story is a testament to the enduring power of great songwriting. What You'll Learn in This Episode Joey Molland's early years in Liverpool and his path to joining Badfinger. The group's formation and early struggles Behind-the-scenes stories working with Paul McCartney and George Harrison. The creation of iconic albums and their chart-topping hits.

The concept of the prog artist going pop is so well-known that it's almost a cliche. We still love you, Phil Collins! But what about the inverse? What happens when our favorite pop bands and artists get the "prog bug" and go off the deep end? This is a concept that almost nobody talks about but greatly interests us here at ATTT HQ. It doesn't always work, but when Pop Goes Prog and it does work, the results can be an artist-or-band-career-defining moment. Thankfully we have access to a couple of mensches that know their pop and know their prog. The great Fernando Perdomo and the also great Matt Tecu join for what turned out to be a ridiculous good time in TOP TEN TIMES POP WENT PROG. Picks 10-6 are featured here in Part 1.

Steve Hillage is a founding member of System 7, one of the key proto-trance acts of the early 90s, and Mirror System whose latest album 'Route 77' is out now.Prior to his involvement in dance music he had an extensive career as a guitarist in bands such as Gong, Decadence (with Kevin Ayers), Khan, and Uriel, formed with the members still at school. His solo career includes records produced by Nick Mason and Todd Rundgren, and his own production career includes records with Simple Minds and The Charlatans.Additionally, that pretty stellar CV also includes a key contribution to the representation of dance music at Glastonbury with the establishment of the dance tent in 1995.So clearly this is a good person to have on the show. We discuss the psychedelic rock scene in the 70s, the development of music tech in the 80s, and his eventual realisation that dance music was his musical home by the time of the first System 7 record in 1990.And of course a lot of other stuff too... including some advice from Jimi Hendrix and the connection between Underground Resistance and George Clinton.This is a great way to start 2025, get involved!If you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon!

This is epic. XTC guitarist Dave Gregory returns to the podcast to give us all the scoop on the creation of XTC's 1986 masterpiece Skylarking. The album almost can't be listened to without an understanding of the behind the scenes stories - the animosity between Andy Partridge and producer Todd Rundgren chief among them. This essential album was recently given the Steven Wilson Dolby Atmos treatment enhancing it even more. Joining us for this conversation is our friend Brad Page of the I'm In Love With That Song podcast for an even richer experience.
