Podcast appearances and mentions of Tom Waits

Whitney, Collin, and Doug wrap up Volume I of Stranger Things 5 with 'Chapter Four: Sorcerer'. The Duffers call it "the most logistically insane shoot of our lives," so there's obviously plenty to talk about, including hovering demogorgons, Derek's redemption, and (of course) Will's new propensity for nosebleeds. Plus– Music, Tire Peel-Outs, Where in the World Is…?, and Superlatives! Put on your crisp white Tom Waits t-shirt and join us!

Just in time for your holiday celebration, this one's from the vault. Recorded back in July and aging nicely on the shelf, this episode focuses on rare Covers of Tom Waits songs including a new one from Country Star Eric Church. Then from Norway there's Hell Blues Choir, and Frans Van Duerson, Desczowe Psy, Kazik and a half cover by T Bird and the Breaks. With such diverse styles, this is an extraordinary celebration. Be sure to stick around at the end too for the festive coda featuring, Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis and New Years Eve. Feel the Confetti, folks!

"Vuelven las Navidades", cantaba Tom Petty y sus Rompecorazones en "Unas navidades muy especiales" (1992) Nuestro ya clásico programa de "El sueño se ha acabado" en estas fechas con el Doctor Soul, nos lleva al recuerdo sorprendente que hacen de estos días, artistas que poco tienen que ver con lo que celebramos. Nos nos referimos al oportunismo comercial de aquellos que quieren aprovechar la ocasión para vender más discos, sino a músicos que nunca imaginaríamos que harían una canción de Navidad, porque se supone que odian estas fechas. José de Segovia habla del mensaje de la Encarnación por que la que Dios viene a salvar pecadores con Luis Lapuente. Lo hacemos en relación con cantantes muertos trágicamente, como Tom Petty (1950-2017) por sobredosis o el músico de jazz Chet Baker, (1929-1988), destrozado por la droga, que agonizó de dolor, caído de una ventana de un hotel de Amsterdam. Aunque hay muchas canciones sobre Papa Noel, ninguna como la que le dedicaron los Kinks al pobre hombre que hacía de Santa Claus delante de unos grandes almacenes. Si hay alguien conocido por sus excesos en la cultura francesa, ese es Gainsbourg, que rememora la Navidad del 67 con Michel Colomber. Si el grupo británico de los hermanos Davies, The Kinks, ha marcado la vida de Luis Lapuente, el de Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull, está en el origen de la introducción de José de Segovia por su ya fallecido primo Manuel Fernández en el conocimiento exhaustivo de la música pop. Escuchamos su "Canción de Navidad" con su visión "dickensiana" de la hipocresía de estas fechas para con los que sufren pobreza y privación. No podía faltar tampoco en esta ocasión el clásico contemporáneo de unas navidades alternativas de The Pogues. Su "Cuento de Navidad" (Fairytale in New York) nos introduce en la sorprendente fe del alcohólico Shane MacGowan y su temor a perder la Gracia (If I Fall From Grace 1988). Algunos pasan estos días viajando, pero ningún sitio más extraño que el aeropuerto en Navidad, como nos recuerda Nick Lowe (Christmas At The Airport) en su sorprendente álbum de Navidad en 2013. La más dura de las canciones que conocemos sobre estas fechas podría ser la "Tarjeta de Navidad de una prostituta en Minneapolis" de Tom Waits en 1978, una dosis de realismo sobrecogedora. Sus falsos mensajes de paz y armonía son satirizados por los Ramones en su "¡Feliz Navidad! No quiero pelear esta noche!" (1989), pero para muchos, estas fechas son simplemente la ocasión para conocer a la persona que deseas, como en "Esta Navidad" (1970) del cantante de "soul" Donny Hathaway, que acabó también cayendo de una ventana en Nueva York por su enfermedad mental. "La Navidad de Luis" (1973) de León Gieco es probablemente el clásico alternativo de estas fechas del "rock nacional" argentino. Su dictadura militar llevó a Gieco al exilio forzado en los años 70, pero al músico británico de la Velvet Underground de Nueva York, John Cale, lde vuelta mentalmente a su Galés natal (Child´s Christmas In Wales 1973) en su evocación de "Paris 1919". Muchos creen que las "2000 Millas"(1983) es una canción de Navidad, cuando lo que refleja es el duelo de Chrissie Hynde por la muerte por sobredosis de su compañero y guitarrista de Pretenders, James Honeyman-Scott. Si a muchos les recuerdan estas fiestas los seres queridos que ya han perdido, para otros es la molesta perspectiva de volver a tener reunirse con esos familiares molestos, como el del "Villancico para mi cuñado Fernando" de Love Of Lesbian en 2007. Acabamos el programa con el deseo de John Lennon y Yoko Ono de una "Feliz Navidad" (Happy Xmas 1971) en que Cristo traiga "la paz el mundo no da" (Juan 14:27).

Hur undviker man att bli en icke-människa? Simon Sorgenfrei tar en tysk teolog, en persisk poet och en svensk baron till hjälp. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.På 1920-talet satt baronen Eric Hermelin i Lund och översatte Omar Khayyams dikter till svenska. I decennier hade han då levt ett kringflackande liv, som äventyrare och rumlare, i USA och England, i Indien och i Australien. Nu hade han blivit omyndigförklarad av sin familj och var därför inspärrad på Sankt Lars hospital där han fördrev tiden med att översätta persisk poesi och muslimsk mystik.Under åren på drift hade Hermelin utvecklat en aversion mot moralväktare och att han nu fått sin bror, nykterhetsivraren Josef, som förmyndare bidrog inte till att ändra hans inställning. Att översätta Omar Khayyam fungerade däremot som ett balsam. I den persiske fritänkarens verser fann han en åskådning som på ett kanske paradoxalt sätt var samtidigt förlåtande och uppbygglig.”Vet du vad helvetet sannerligen är?” frågade Khayyam retoriskt i en av dikterna. ”Helvetet på jorden är umgänge med icke-människor.” De muslimska mystikernas texter skyddade Eric Hermelin från helvetet. De fungerade som manualer i människoblivandets konst.Drygt ett hundra år tidigare, runt sekelskiftet 1800, slog den tyske romantikern Friedrich Schleiermacher igenom som radikal teolog med boken Om religionen. Den var menad som ett försvarstal riktat mot såväl de filosofer som ville låsa religionen vid tron på mirakulösa myter, som mot de teologer som reducerade mysteriet till stränga moralismer. Religion, menade Schleiermacher, är varken metafysik eller moral, utan i stället en ”känsla och smak för det oändliga”. Och denna känsla, menade han, har sin rot i ett direkt åskådande av universum. Känslan väcks i den omedelbara upplevelsen av att vara en del av, och att stå i absolut beroende till denna oändlighet.Kanske är det aldrig enklare att uppleva sig som en obetydligt liten men ändå intensivt levande del av det oändliga än under midvinternatten. Då är mörkret som djupast och då gnistrar stjärnorna över oss i sin outgrundliga förutsägbarhet. Det är den mest ursprungliga och universella av utsikter. ”Tänk att samma måne som lyser över mig här, kan blicka ner över Illinois och hitta dig där”, som Tom Waits sjunger i Shore Leave, sången om sjömannen som under en permission i Singapore trånar efter sin älskade hemma i USA. Samma måne blickade också ner över Omar Khayyam och Eric Hermelin, över dig och mig.Att samtidigt känna sig levande och obetydlig under stjärnhimlen är en ödmjukande och sublim känsla. Ödmjukande eftersom upplevelsen blottlägger vår litenhet; sublim eftersom den låter oss känna evighetens svindel i bröstet. Kanske är det vad Schleiermacher menade med ”känsla och smak för det oändliga”. Det är ett erfarande – mer än en åskådning i intellektuell bemärkelse – ett erfarande av våra livsbetingelser.Att vara människa är sannerligen inte alltid lätt. Grannkatten Ruth påminner mig om det då hon i vintermörkret kommer tassande över det smutsiga snötäcket för att stryka sig mot mina ben. Vad en katt känner när hon tittar upp mot Orions jagande hundar vet jag förstås inte, men hon tycks vara i världen med en annan självklarhet än mig. En katt föds till katt med instinkterna på plats. Vi människor måste arbeta på att bli mänskliga.Några år efter genomslaget med boken Om religionen, publicerade Schleiermacher en novell med titeln Julfirandet. I denna ville han undersöka vad som utgör kärnan i de då framväxande borgerliga traditioner som vi idag förknippar med julen. Att Jesus inte föddes vid juletid det visste man redan då. Först på trehundratalet bestämdes hans födelsedag till vintersolståndet. Då var solen som ett nyfött barn menade romarna, ett efterlängtat barn av ljus och växande värme som firades under högtiden saturnalia.Schleiermacher ansåg heller inte att det var några historiska fakta som firades i den vänliga salong där hans novell utspelar sig. I stället såg han julen som själva människoblivandets högtid.I den kristna mytologin låter Gud sig födas som ett litet ofärdigt barn, som en människa med allt vad det innebär av oro, grubbel, sorg och smärta. Det är en myt om hur den kosmiska ordningen, logos, blir till kött – och om hur människan sedan måste utveckla logos inom sig för att förverkliga sin mänsklighet. Vi känner igen motivet från olika kultursfärer.Platon menade att själen slits mellan två hästar. En som drar nedåt, mot begärens mörker och kaos – och en annan som strävar uppåt, mot ordning och ljus. Senare skulle Jalaluddin Rumi, en annan av de muslimska mystiker som Eric Hermelin satt på Sankt Lars och översatte, likna oss människor vid åsnor försedda med änglavingar. Han anspelade då på berättelsen om att Jesus, det köttvordna ordet, red in i Jerusalem på just en åsna. ”Den som kysser åsnans arsle, får aldrig känna Jesus milda andedräkt”, menade Rumi.I den romerska filosofin betecknade termen humanus inte bara någon som tillhörde den biologiska arten ”människa”, utan även någon som tillgodogjort sig vissa dygdeideal, som arbetat på sin mänsklighet. Detta lever vidare i vår förståelse av begreppen humanism och humanitet. Mänsklig är den, enligt Svenska Akademiens Ordbok, som tillhör det mänskliga släktet, och med detta följer att vi är ofullständiga. ”Gudarna gav oss brister, för att göra oss till människor”, säger Shakespeare i Antonius och Kleopatra. Men vi har också potential att bättra oss. Att vara mänsklig innebär också att vara ”hygglig”, att ha ”medkänsla” med våra medmänniskor och överseende med deras brister. Att vara omänsklig däremot, att vara en icke-människa i Omar Khayyams vokabulär, innebär enligt ordboken att sakna barmhärtighet, att vara grym, bestialisk och känslolös.”Att fela är mänskligt, att förlåta är gudomligt” lyder ett ordspråk som försöker fånga denna människoblivandets utvecklingsbana. Att vara mänsklig innebär att göra sig medveten om sina egna tillkortakommanden, samtidigt som man har överseende med andras.I midvinternatten omsluter det stora mörkret oss envar, som en påminnelse om den litenhet vi alla delar. Det erbjuder både känsla och smak för det oändliga perspektiv inför vilket både egna och andras brister och förtjänster bleknar bort. Just erfarenheten av att samma måne som ser ner på dig, ser ner på var och en av oss är kanske själva impulsen till människoblivande. ”Var inte en icke-människa” viskar den högt däruppifrån. ”Bidra inte till helvetet på jorden.”Simon Sorgenfreiprofessor i religionsvetenskapLitteraturFriedrich Schleiermacher: Julfirandet – ett samtal.

THE OLD MAN & THE GUN (2018) feels less like a typical crime movie and more like a gentle farewell  not just to a character, but to an entire Hollywood era. Directed by David Lowery, the film stars Robert Redford as Forrest Tucker, a lifelong bank robber whose crimes are defined not by violence, but by charm, politeness, and an irresistible love of the game.   As the final entry in our Robert Redford Arc, this episode explores why THE OLD MAN & THE GUN works as a perfect swan song. The film distills everything that made Redford an icon: effortless charisma, moral ambiguity, romanticism without sentimentality, and a deep understanding of aging, obsession, and identity. What emerges is a crime story with almost no tension  and yet carries enormous emotional weight.   Lowery shoots the film on Super 16mm, giving it the texture and warmth of a 1970s classic, while Redford delivers one of his most restrained and expressive performances. Paired with a beautifully understated turn from Sissy Spacek, and supported by a stacked cast that includes Casey Affleck, Danny Glover, and Tom Waits, the film becomes a meditation on what it means to keep doing the thing you love even when the world tells you it's time to stop.   Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/FOURPLAY and use code FOURPLAY and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup! Turn your expensive wireless present into a huge wireless savings future by switching to Mint.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpeter performer and recording artist Paul Litteral, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Paul Litteral trumpet interview"   Find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here: https://bobreeves.com/blog/paul-litteral-trumpet-interview-the-other-side-of-the-bell-147   About Paul Litteral: Hollywood Paul Litteral began to build his career playing in Broadway hits such as The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, A Chorus Line and Chess. In 1978, Paul and saxophonist Arno Hecht founded the well-known group called the Uptown Horns. As their visibility increased, the band was recruited for rock and roll gigs and played many of New York's most famous clubs. Paul and the Uptown Horns went on their first rock and roll tour with the J. Geils Band in 1981 and that led to many other opportunities including engagements with The Rolling Stones, Robert Plant, Tom Waits, Joe Cocker, James Brown, Pat Benatar, and Ray Charles. The band lists recording credits on over 150 albums including James Brown's Grammy Award winning "Living in America" and tracks for Joe Cocker, Albert Collins, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Palmer, Lou Reed and REM. In addition to continuing to play music, he began writing and found critical success with Hoboken to Hollywood, which earned him the 2011 Ovation Award for Musical Direction. Paul was also awarded Best Musical Direction by Stage Scene LA for Louis & Keely: Live' at the Sahara, which had a record run, playing to sold out audiences at the Geffen Playhouse. "Hollywood" Paul earned his nickname back in the 1980's due to his prodigious knowledge of film lore. Though his extensive contributions to the LA music scene have also helped add to that fabulous moniker. Paul's fame is within the world of Rock and Roll. On his latest album, "The Litteral Truth," he brings us a collection of songs that inspired his personal musical development. The Brecker Brothers, Edgar Winter and Steely Dan are a few of the artists we cover on the record, and revisiting these great cuts and reinterpreting them was a joyous excursion for all involved. Paul is a fun and talented man, and his records are spreading the joy of knowing him. -Bill Bodine   Episode Links: Outrageous 8 Records Find the albums here: The Litteral Truth Legacy Instagram (@paullitteralmusic) YouTube channel The Other Side of the Bell Episode #92 - Paul Litteral (first appearance)   Bob Reeves Brass Upcoming Events and Appearances: Trumpet Festival of the Southeast, Jan. 17, 2026, Kennesaw State University, Georgia Texas Music Educators Association Conference, Feb. 11-14 2026, San Antonio, Texas Dylan Music, Feb. 26-28, Woodbridge, New Jersey   Podcast Credits: "A Room with a View" - composed and performed by Howie Shear Podcast Host - John Snell Cover Photo Credit - Paul Litteral Audio Engineer - Ted Cragg

This week we're excited to present a conversation from the 63rd New York Film Festival with Father Mother Sister Brother director Jim Jarmusch and cast members Adam Driver, Indya Moore, Luka Sabbat, Vicky Krieps, and Tom Waits. This conversation was moderated by NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim. The NYFF63 Centerpiece selection, Father Mother Sister Brother will open at Film at Lincoln Center on December 24. Get tickets at filmlinc.org/jarmusch For years, Jim Jarmusch has written, directed, and produced delicate, character-driven films. Winner of the Venice Film Festival Golden Lion, Father Mother Sister Brother is a perceptive study in familial dynamics, a feature film carefully constructed in the form of a triptych. The three chapters all concern the relationships between adult children reconnecting or coming to terms with aging or lost parents, which take place in the present, and each in a different country. Siblings Jeff and Emily (played by Adam Driver and Mayim Bialik) check up on their hermetic father (played by Tom Waits) in rural New Jersey; sisters Lilith and Timothea (Vicky Krieps and Cate Blanchett) reunite with their guarded novelist mother (Charlotte Rampling) in Dublin; and twins Skye and Billy (Indya Moore and Luka Sabbat) return to their Paris apartment to address a family tragedy. Father Mother Sister Brother is a kind of anti-action film, its subtle and quiet style carefully constructed to allow small details to accumulate—almost like flowers being carefully placed in three delicate arrangements. The 63rd New York Film Festival is presented in partnership with Rolex.

Raùl a mis au profit le temps du confinement pour sélectionner des chansons qui s'insèrent dans son style musical. Raùl et ses fils, ont formé le Malo Family Band. Le résultat est une promenade à travers la musique populaire du XXe siècle. On y trouve des chansons issues des débuts du rock, des airs représentant son héritage latin et d'autres surprises, comme le traditionnel italien « Santa Lucia » et la nostalgie irlandaise de « Galway Bay ». Raùl s' approprie avec brio des chansons comme : « Forever and Ever » et « Sweet Caroline », ainsi que des classiques tels que « Jersey Girl » de Tom Waits, popularisée par Bruce Springsteen, et « My Sweet Lord » de George Harrison.

Episode two of On The Record begins exactly where great podcasts are born: with the crushing realisation that nothing has been recorded. After a brief collective sigh (and a generous decision to “power through”), Michael Mackenzie, Brian Wise and guest Nick Corr regroup and press on—braver, wiser, and still dangerously unsupervised. What follows is a gloriously eclectic ramble through: A shamelessly persuasive plug for Rhythms Magazine, which somehow doubles as relationship advice A sold-out theatre talk about fungi, proving that mushrooms now draw bigger crowds than indie bands A deep dive into Pluribus, the Apple TV series that turns hive minds into a philosophical Rorschach test (Michael finds it calming; Brian finds it terrifying) The long-awaited final album from Chris Bailey of The Saints, hailed as a dignified, and moving farewell Lucinda Williams, political defiance, and why some albums are necessary whether America's ready or not A prolonged, reverent detour into Tom Waits, including birthdays, movies, glitter-filled pockets, and the universal agreement that everyone would still fly overseas to see him Talking Heads nostalgia, Bluesfest ticket shock, and the unsettling concept of “cover bands with original members” The episode wraps with movies (Dead of Winter, Train Dreams), tears shed in unexpected places, and the firm belief that art about love, loss, and grief is best discussed at length—preferably after checking the record button. On The Record is a podcast where culture is taken seriously, and tangents are treated as the main event.

Today, we feature a Christmas cracker that offers some new perspectives on one of our most treasured holiday traditions - The Xmas Song: First, The Turtles, singing “Christmas is My Time of Year,” then, the esteemed actor, Harvey Keitel, telling an off the wall Christmas story, from the film Smoke.Putting on a favorite holiday tape or CD as you wrap the presents or trim the tree was always a highly anticipated ritual - Frank, Dino, Elvis, or Bing never failed to make the season bright. In the 60's Rock era, of course, Phil Spector's album was a must. Every pop artist has made one, even Bob Dylan. It made Irving Berlin and Mel Torme millions.  It's generally a can't miss proposition. But, I'll bet you never considered these selections. One isn't even a song; and then there's the Turtles number, which is seemingly on the money, but not universally known. THE TURTLES"Christmas is My Time of Year" was written by the jewish Howard Kaylan and the Turtle's bassist and veteran of the Modern Folk Quartet, Chip Douglas. Douglas also produced, populating the recording with such country rock luminaries as Gram Parsons and Linda Ronstadt. The track has a folksy flair with its twangy guitars and dobros. It's military 4 on the floor marching beat gives it an overly perky, trying too hard feel, but it's still a lot of fun - and that's the mark of a good Turtles song. isn't it?: always promoting optimism and good feelings. Even when they're singing dark material like PF Sloan's “Let Me Be” the music counterpoints the dreariness with sunshine.HARVEY KEITEL in SMOKERich threw this curveball into the mix, and I LOVE IT! Mr. Keitel has always been a favorite of ours - and in this clip from Wayne Wang's Smoke he knocks it out of the park with this shaggy holiday story negotiating the mixed up urges of conscience and larceny. At the end of the segment there is a black and white rendering of the story accompanied by Tom Waits, singing “Innocent when you Dream”.And, it's here that the overall theme emerges: Christmas is that time when we aspire to live up to our best selves. But, there are so many contradictory images that interfere with this aspiration. We are exhorted to consume, going into debt for the good of the economy, and to our peril. All around us we might notice that the lonely and disenfranchised are suffering worse than ever during this time. So, we look away, trying not to face the disturbing prospect that it could be us next year. We're only human, after all - but, to be better more than just one day out of the year shouldn't be asking too much. But, how to begin?

Happy birthday Tom Waits! This year, inspired by the new Knives Out, we're talking about Tom's songs in movies and TV. From The Wire to Beavis and Butt-Head, I'm covering the things I like! Also, with the help of AI, we determine whether or not Tom Waits is Hellboy.

In this solo Thanksgiving episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank breaks down The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, the Coen Brothers' Netflix Western anthology that has quietly become one of his holiday staples. Story by story, he digs into how each vignette wrestles with death, chance, and human nature, from Tim Blake Nelson's singing gunslinger to Tom Waits' stubborn prospector and that iconic "First time?" hanging meme. Along the way, Frank talks about why the film feels so cozy despite its bleak themes, how the Coens use digital cinematography to shape tone, and what these stories say about nihilism, love, and our place in nature. He also shares a life update about Thomas, explains why Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving episodes are next on the docket, and invites listeners into a holiday mood filled with gratitude, movies, and a little existential dread. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs - … Timestamps And Topics 00:00 – Thanksgiving vibes and a Western anthology about death Setting the stage for a cozy Thanksgiving viewing tradition with The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, its Old West setting, and its obsession with mortality. 00:30 – Solo episode, schedule shuffle, and Thomas' big life update Why this is a solo show, Jonathan stepping in for a bit, and celebrating the arrival of "little Thomas" as a new geek in the world. 01:48 – Story 1: Buster Scruggs and our love of violent antiheroes Tim Blake Nelson's singing cowboy, the bright musical tone hiding casual brutality, and how the film forces us to realize we have been rooting for a monster. 03:49 – Myth-making, digital cameras, and the Coens revisiting a 20-year-old story How the segment plays like a live action cartoon, the use of bright digital cinematography, and what it means to film a story they wrote when they were young and fearless. 07:17 – Story 2: Near Algodones and the "First time?" meme James Franco's unlucky outlaw, Stephen Root in full chaos mode, armored pots and pans, botched hangings, and how that viral "First time?" moment taps into nihilism. 12:11 – Chaos, chance, and the pretty girl in the blue dress Reading the ending as both "enjoy the moment" and "life has no grand design," where you might meet someone perfect at the exact moment you cannot do anything about it. 13:24 – Story 3: Meal Ticket and brutal exploitation Harry Melling's limbless orator, Liam Neeson as a cold manager, freak show roots, the math-doing chicken, and the quiet horror of being treated as a "meal ticket." 17:57 – The cliff, the stone, and the unseen choice Why the rock in the river says everything without dialogue, and how the story captures helplessness when your fate is decided by someone else's bottom line. 19:24 – Story 4: All Gold Canyon, Tom Waits, and living with nature Tom Waits' prospector, "Mother Mercury," working with the land instead of stripping it, Mr. Pocket, and a rare Coen story where the character actually survives. 21:35 – Eggs, owls, and taking only what you need Reading the owl nest scene as a lesson in balance: taking one egg instead of all, and how the valley reclaims itself when humanity eventually moves on. 26:10 – Story 5: The Girl Who Got Rattled and the unfairness of the frontier Alice's journey on the wagon train, dependence on men in the Old West, Billy Knapp's gentle cowboy charm, Mr. Arthur's grit, and a fragile romance on the trail. 29:15 – President Pierce, the war party, and a tragic misread The dog as foreshadowing, the tense ambush, Arthur's desperate instructions, and Alice following her assignment a moment too soon. 32:33 – Story 6: The Mortal Remains and a stagecoach to the afterlife Five strangers in a stagecoach, bounty hunters as philosophical guides, competing views of humanity, and the slow realization that everyone on board is already dead. 35:05 – Looking into their eyes as they "try to make sense of it" The slider's chilling explanation of his job and how it mirrors us watching story after story, trying to understand death and never quite managing it. 37:42 – Why Buster Scruggs might be the ultimate Coen Brothers sampler Connections to Raising Arizona, Fargo, and Hudsucker Proxy, experimenting with digital, and why Frank considers this film a masterclass in filmmaking. 38:57 – Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving tournament and holiday plans Kicking off the Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving episode bracket on social media and inviting listeners to vote and share their favorites. 39:37 – Challenge Accepted contact info and gratitude for listeners How to email the show, where to find Challenge Accepted online, and a heartfelt thank you to everyone spending their Thanksgiving season with the podcast. Key Takeaways The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is a surprisingly cozy Thanksgiving watch that pairs warm, nostalgic vibes with stark meditations on death and human nature. The opening Buster Scruggs segment lures you in with music and comedy, then forces you to confront how easily we celebrate violent "heroes" until the cost is made personal. Near Algodones turns a simple bank robbery into a darkly funny loop of bad luck and hanging attempts, with the "First time?" moment becoming a perfect meme for quiet resignation. Meal Ticket is one of the bleakest Coen stories, laying bare how talent and passion can be discarded the second a more profitable novelty appears. All Gold Canyon offers a rare bit of hope, showing a prospector who survives and a valley that proves nature will outlast any one human. The Girl Who Got Rattled underlines how dangerous and unfair the frontier was for women, building a gentle love story only to let chaos tear it apart. The Mortal Remains recontextualizes the entire film, framing the bounty hunters as observers of human confusion about death and the afterlife, much like the audience. Altogether, the anthology works as a meditation on luck, mortality, and acceptance, urging us to live, observe, and appreciate moments even when the ending is inevitable. Memorable Quotes "We are rooting for him as well. He tortures this man before finally killing him, but again, we are rooting for him. Then the Man in Black arrives." "You meet the girl that likes you back when there is nothing you can do about it, and life is that way. It is chaotic and it is fruitless sometimes." "No matter how hard you try, sometimes life will just give you nothing, and an outside source may make that decision for you." "We take what we need, not necessarily what we want, and nature can continue growing as those birds will now hatch." "You just got to roll those dice. You just got to play the cards you get and move forward."

Tom was gushing over what he called one of his most perfect beers while we were talking about DDH Pliny the Elder and as soon as we fired off into Tom Waits, he pulled out a bottle of Russian River's Shadow of A Doubt. Sit back and relax as he breaks down why this is only one of three beers he wouldn't do anything to change.

Dan wants to see Tom Waits, which is hard to explain. (Wait a sec. Lex, did you write this? I happen to like Tom Waits. Anyway…) Dana inherits a gun, which is also strange (OK, we both agree here). William H. Macy’s Sam gets a big storyline and a dramatic moment, and the substitute anchor filling in for Dan is so terrible that it — you guessed it! — beggars belief. We’re Sorkin’ In It all, though, so let’s discuss. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

Die letzte Oktoberwoche gehört traditionell dem Sounds!-Rückblick auf jene Musik, die vor exakt vier Jahrzehnten erschienen ist. Bis und mit Freitag hören wir ausschliesslich Musik aus dem Jahrgang 1985: New Order, Prefab Sprout, Kate Bush, The Cure, und und und. Es war ein Jahr, in dem Synthesizer und britische Unterkühltheit gemeinsam die Klanglandschaft prägten: Auf der einen Seite New-Wave-Hits von Tears for Fears, den Simple Minds und auch die Pet Shop Boys standen bereits in den Startlöchern, auf der anderen Seite die düstere, goth-y Melancholie von The Smiths, The Cure, The Sisters of Mercy oder Killing Joke. Wir laden euch herzlich dazu ein, im Verlaufe der Woche mit uns Tracks von Prince, Prefab Sprout, Tom Waits, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Grace Jones, Sade und vielen mehr (wieder) zu entdecken. Wie immer ist unser Flashback thematisch aufgeteilt: Morgen Dienstag gibt's z. B. den Rückblick auf die Metal- und Punkkracher aus dem Jahrgang 85.

It's that time of year where we try and delve into the strange and scary for our Halloween episode and this time, we've hit upon altered states (not the Ken Russell film) where our heroes undergo a strange transformation, in TOS ‘Wolf in the Fold,' Bones' obsession with getting Scotty laid ends in a lot of mysterious stabbings that date back to Victorian London while in Voyager's ‘Darkling,' the Doctor's attempt to improve himself by adding bits of other people into him starts making him very large in the tooth and a little too psychosexual towards Kes while in DS9's ‘Empok Nor,' O'Brien, Nog, Garak and a collection of clearly important side characters go to a deserted Cardassian Space Station to steal some wiring ends with psychotropic drug-induced violence. Typical. Happy Halloween!Episodes Discussed: A Wolf In the Fold (13:19) Darkling (42:06) Empok Nor (01:11:42)Talking Points Include: The European cut of Kubrick's ‘The Shining,' Horror Movies, We HATE Pan and Scan, Weird UK Film edits, Bones clearly wanting to get laid, my God, they do a seance, Robert Bloch and Harlan Ellison's twin Ripper stories in ‘Dangerous Visions,' censorship and no Kirk shirt rip for drugs this time, Jack the Ripper in other SF franchises, no walk of shame for Kes, Picardo's make-up leads to a lesson about old special effects, the Civilization Gandhi glitch, does Kes actually grown over her four years, CSI Tuvok, Jeremy Renner-gy, when romantic comedies have to make the rival partner an utter jerk, Robert Picardo with hair is amazing, MMMbop, Tom Waits covering Disney, ‘Cardies' does not work as a derogatory slur, what Brighton sounds like, Garak Bashir and O'Brian probably don't hang out at the same time, the original plan with Worf vs. Garak would not have been as fun, Nog trying too hard, ‘Bolian Dies First,' there's probably a meeting about Garak being a spy.

This time around finds the Dream Regime on their own, sans Bob, falling into a reflective discussion about respect, empathy and filling stations. Not to worry though, as their waxing philosophic is accompanied by great classic 70s Waits' tunes like Barbershop, Kentucky Avenue and Romeo is Bleeding. Then, be sure to stick around after the finale to hear the September 2017 Live performance of Respect Yourself by Mavis Staples at Lagunitas Brewing company in Petaluma, California with a surprise guest appearance by Tom Waits, his last live music performance as far as we know. Feel the Confetti!

649. This week we chat with Leah Payne about her book, God Gave Rock and Roll To You: A History of Contemporary Christian Music. We focus especially on the role of the family of Jimmy Swaggart, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Mickey Gilley in the history of Rock and Roll. Her book chronicles the confluence of evangelical, Pentecostal, and charismatic networks through the lens of Contemporary Christian Music, or CCM. The book indexes American evangelicalism's political and social aspirations as seen through its cultural intermediaries: the youth group leaders, non-profit groups, industry executives, and parents who contributed to what was morally permissible and economically profitable in CCM.  Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

On this now leaped and twisted a more indescribable horde of human abnormality than any but a Sime or an Angarola could paint. Void of clothing, this hybrid spawn were braying, bellowing, and writhing about a monstrous ring-shaped bonfire; in the centre of which, revealed by occasional rifts in the curtain of flame, stood a great granite monolith some eight feet in height; on top of which, incongruous in its diminutiveness, rested the noxious carven statuette."

Here in New Orleans, like everything else, it's different.     Halloween, Crescent City-style, is second only to Mardi Gras for wild and crazy, dressing-up-in-costume kind of fun and it isn't just for kids, either. Adults get to join the fun and craziness as well. In fact, there are a few events that are much more fun for the grown-ups than for the little ones! You can go on our haunted tours, visit our voodoo shops, our costume shops, our street parties, and we even have events for the kids! Postcards from Louisiana. Delfeyo Marsalis at Snug Harbor.

资深DJ有待介绍爵士乐发展史上各流派和代表人物，深入浅出，雅俗共赏。

John C. Reilly joins to discuss Mr. Romantic, his theatrical tribute to the Great American Songbook that treats Irving Berlin and Tom Waits as equals in the canon of timeless American song. Reilly recorded live in one room with his band using vintage ribbon microphones, embracing the squeaks and imperfections while layering in cinematic sound effects—crickets outside a lover's window, a collect call from prison—to transform each standard into an immersive scene. But what makes a song from the 1920s feel eternal? Music data scientist Chris Della Riva, author of the forthcoming Uncharted Territory and the newsletter Can't Get Much Higher, breaks down how composers like the Gershwins wrote for amateur musicians playing sheet music at home, creating universal lyrics and AABA structures where the hook comes first. That accessibility is precisely what draws Reilly to this repertoire. He sees himself in the lineage of interpreters like Sinatra, not selling his own story but passing along music that already belongs to all of us, like holding up a seashell and saying, "Isn't this one beautiful?"

This week, we tackle a track that could easily appear on a Tom Waits record, most notably Real Gone, which Les Claypool actually guested on. There's something about the percussive backbeat and dirty upright that screams Waits, but Les puts his own spin on it with tripped-out high register upright and clean vocals. Josh and Frankie agree that this is one of the more memorable tracks from the record so far, and the lyrical story, while a variation on the standard Claypool lyrical themes, are engaging and delightful because of how the story is told. Get involvedInstagramFacebookEmailBurn your money

Scot and Jeff discuss the second part of Tom Waits' career (1983-2011) with Damon Linker.Introducing the Band:Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) are joined by guest Damon Linker. Damon is a senior lecturer in political science at the University of Pennsylvania, and publishes a Substack newsletter titled “Notes from the Middleground.” Follow him at @DamonLinker on Twitter.Damon's Music Pick: Tom WaitsWe sail tonight for Singapore and we're all as mad as hatters here. Yes, Political Beats finishes its two-part celebration of the career of Tom Waits, rejoined by doughty boatswain Damon Linker as we pilot our way to unknown musical seas. Tom Waits had a fine career up through the year 1982, when he finished work on the soundtrack for Francis Ford Coppola's One from the Heart. But we're talking about the man primarily because of what happened afterwards, when he became more than just a down-and-out jazz pianist with the voice of a Babadook. Waits met script supervisor Kathleen Brennan on the set of the film and fell in love, marrying a year later. (They remain married to this day.) Proving herself the anti-Yoko Ono, Brennan then alchemically helped to raise Waits's music to an entirely new level of excitement and experimentation. His lyrics ideas become weirder, and more vivid. His ballads become infinitely more heartfelt (most of them are secretly addressed to Brennan). And his arrangements become a world of their own: Tom Waits begins, in 1983, to create glorious junk sculptures out of sound, using uncharacteristic (often minimalistic) instrumentation to create music that nobody has heard before.Through such landmarks of the 1980s and 1990s as Swordfishtrombones, Rain Dogs, Bone Machine, and The Mule Variations, Tom Waits transcended his balladeering origin -- without ever leaving it entirely behind -- and created a body of work famous for its eccentric, compelling, and deeply influential series. Once you get past the fact that he has a voice like the sawblades of a lumber mill, entire worlds will open up to you. Click play and clap hands! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
