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.

Steve Avo Lindsey in conversation with David Eastaugh https://linktr.ee/steveavolindsey A nervous suitor, a guitarist at the end of his Strat and his tether, wistful ex-partners on a work trip to Wales. Art school Futurists and singalongs in Cooper's Bar, Denmark Street and suburbia's (two) ups and downs – and earbudded Londoners on the Tube, sailing away on their own private playlists. “In my head,” confides STEVE ‘AVO' LINDSEY, making his solo long-playing debut just five decades into his music career, “this sounds like a Nick Lowe album.” But given that PING is the work of the Wirral-born bassist of DEAF SCHOOL and frontman of new wave chart act THE PLANETS who would later become a music exec known for his ears and acumen, it's hardly surprising that these twelve tracks offer more than just fond footnotes to Lowe. Factor in Lindsey's love of Donald Fagen and Jimmy Webb, Arctic Monkeys and Tom Waits, Todd Rundgren and Nashville-style storytelling, and his lo-fi, groove-driven takes on Motown, and you'll have an idea of what to expect from this joyful, playful, gorgeously varied sheaf of love letters to music and Merseyside, sweaters and Swordfishtrombones. Listen to tracks like the finger-clicking soul of ‘Beautiful 45' and the bottoms-up vaudeville of ‘Cheers My Dears', the rockaway baroque pop of ‘Royal Iris' and the sultry Latinisms of ‘To Know You Better', and you'll also hear warm and winning musical contributions from family and friends: Lindsey's daughter Uainín Lindsey on backing vocals; the late Tony ‘Wims' Wimshurst, ex-Planets and Nasty Pop, on lead guitar; and drummer Josh McCartney, the nephew of a local lad named Paul. But first, some back story. When Deaf School invented itself in 1974 at Liverpool College of Art, Lindsey, one of two Steves in the band, modestly opted for the moniker Mr Average. Deaf School would become (nearly) famous for its extravagant Sparks-via-Kurt Weill pop and its distinctly un-average cast of sirens, showmen, keyboard philosophers and future superstar producers.

Sidste år i september lavede vi et afsnit, hvor vi tog fat i musikalske temaer fra diverse Tv-serier fra 90'erne. Nu er det så blevet tid til at kigge nærmere på temaer fra 00'erne, og flere vil mene at det er her, at Tv-seriernes guldalder virkelig begynder. Man begynder, at se flere serier med antihelte som omdrejningspunkt, man begynder at kunne købe hele sæsoner på DVD og producenterne fokuserer mere på kvalitet end kvantitet – færre men bedre afsnit. Vi kommer til at lytte til temaer fra fantastiske 00'er serier som f.eks. The Wire, Deadwood, Rejseholdet, Dexter, Big Brother, The Big Bang Theory, Gilmore Girls, Nikolaj og Julie, Glee og Lost. Fremført af masser af glimrende kunstnere som bl.a. Tim Christensen, Massive Attack, Carole King, Superheroes, Barenaked Ladies, Miley Cyrus, The O'Jays og The Who. Derudover er Andy begejstret over Waage Sandø, vi griner stadig over Langt Fra Las Vegas, vi kommer til at fornærme Baltimore, vi savner en slagkraftig Lisbeth Janniche, vi diskuterer om man kan være forelsket i en 174 år gammel vampyr, og så snakker vi DVD-bokse, kreative fladskærme, Guds eget land, gamle politijokes, ulovlige krokodillenæb, Mygindske øjeblikke og iskolde Anne Robinson. Playliste: They Might Be Giants - The boss of me (fra Malcolm In The Middle) Mari Wilson - Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps (fra Coupling) Jacob Groth - Rejseholdet tema (fra Rejseholdet) Carole King and Louise Goffin - Where you lead (fra Gilmore Girls) The Who - Who are you? (fra CSI: Crime Scene Investigation) DJ Encore - I see right through to you (Big Brother Danmark) Superheroes - So far (fra Langt Fra Las Vegas) Tom Waits - Way down in the hole (fra The Wire) Saseline Sørensen - Mød mig, ring mig (fra Kim Possible) Tim Christensen - Right next to the right one (fra Nikolaj og Julie) Gavin Degraw - I don't want to be (fra One Tree Hill) The O'Jays - For the love of money (fra The Apprentice) Thomas Troelsen - Drengene Fra Angora tema (fra Drengene Fra Angora) David Schwartz - Deadwood main title theme (fra Deadwood) Michael Giacchino - Main title (fra Lost) Massive Attack - Teardrop (fra House) Eric Gemso & Bernard Robaud - Tati fruti (fra Klovn) Miley Cyrus - The best of both worlds (fra Hannah Montana) Rolfe Kent - Dexter theme (fra Dexter) Barenaked Ladies - The Big Bang Theory theme (History of everything) (fra The Big Bang Theory) Jace Everett - Bad things (fra True Blood) Glee - Don't stop believin' (fra Glee)

Rain Dogs é o disco em que Tom Waits leva sua persona de poeta bêbado e vagabundo urbano ao auge. Se em Swordfishtrombones ele já tinha abandonado a sofisticação do piano bar para mergulhar em sonoridades ásperas, aqui ele cria um verdadeiro mapa da vida noturna: músicas que parecem vir de becos sujos, bares esfumaçados e almas errantes. Com arranjos que misturam blues torto, cabaré decadente, percussões improvisadas e guitarras geniais, Rain Dogs é uma colagem de personagens marginalizados, cantados com humor sombrio, ternura e desespero. É, ao mesmo tempo, teatro, circo e jazz de rua — o ápice da metamorfose de Waits em cronista dos degenerados. Chegando aos 40 anos no dia 30 de setembro, Rain Dogs é o assunto do nosso papo de hoje.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Send Catherine a text Message"We are all taking everything that we've learned from the past, and we're reformulating what we want to do with that and how we want to live. And so, one of the ideas that's embedded in that, for me, is that when you're in this period of history, like we are now, with AI and with the digitization of everything and with the resurgence of a fascist movement, everything is up for grabs. You know, anything can happen, and that's the whole point really, that we have agency in this moment to affect what direction things are going to go in, as bricoleurs." --- Rags RosenbergA special interview episode with poet and performing songwriter Rags Rosenberg. Rags writes what he calls mythopoetic folk rock in the tradition of songwriter poets he admires: Leonard Cohen, Bob, Dylan, and Tom Waits. His latest album Song of the Bricoleur speaks about myth and our ongoing myth-making. We talk about artistic identity and guiding images, the role of the artist in dark times, and "making it up as we go."In times of profound cultural change, we're all bricoleurs.

Esta semana, dedicamos una nueva sesión de Rebelión Sónica, al trabajo del importante guitarrista, compositor y ahora cantante estadounidense, Marc Ribot, con material de dos de sus álbumes: el nuevo “Map of a Blue City” y “Live at the Village Vanguard” de 2014. “Map of a Blue City” fue editado el 23 de mayo por el sello New West Records y el primer álbum cantado del inclasificable músico, también conocido por su trabajo con Tom Waits y John Zorn. Grabado con el productor Ben Greenberg, basándose en registros caseros y maquetas que hizo con el fallecido productor Hal Willner, el músico compuso algunas de las canciones del álbum en la década 80, y otras son reinterpretaciones de temas como, por ejemplo, el poema de Allen Ginsberg de 1949, “Sometime Jailhouse Blues”. De acuerdo a la información entregada, “cuando ella era niña y él un padre joven, la hija de Marc Ribot dibujó un mapa de una ciudad en un azul intenso y vívido. Cuando él elogió su mapa azul, ella lo corrigió: «No es un mapa azul, sino el mapa de una ciudad azul». Esa distinción se le quedó grabada y con el tiempo inspiró una curiosa canción ‘Map of a Blue City'”. El álbum “reflexiona sobre lo que significa estar perdido: la confusión y el miedo, por supuesto, pero también la emoción de tantas posibilidades inimaginables. Su historia es un mapa peculiar, lleno de falsos comienzos, callejones sin salida y una tragedia inconcebible, todo lo cual conduce a lo que podría ser su declaración definitiva como instrumentista, compositor e incluso cantante (…)”. Al final del programa, viajamos al pasado en la historia discográfica del guitarrista, para escucharlo junto a su Marc Ribot Trio, integrado además por Henry Grimes en bajo y Chad Taylor en batería, específicamente con música del disco en vivo de 2014, “Live at the Village Vanguard”.

In a compelling dialogue on Musicians Reveal with Joe Kelley in 2001, Shawn Loescher, the distinguished alto saxophonist and leader of the Loescher Trio, shares the intricate narrative of his acclaimed album Distance, now available in a remastered Collector's Edition format. The album, initially recorded in Czechoslovakia in 1998, encountered a tumultuous journey following the bankruptcy of the releasing company, which led to the reversion of rights to Loescher. This pivotal moment granted him the opportunity to remaster the album, adding bonus material and enhancing the auditory experience, a process that he describes with palpable enthusiasm. Loescher's reflections on the album's evolution underscore his dedication to sound quality and artistic integrity, showcasing his commitment to providing an enriched experience for listeners.Loescher's musical odyssey commenced at a remarkably young age, with his first performance at fifteen in San Diego. He recounts his experiences working with various artists and his role as a transcriptionist and arranger for the iconic Tom Waits. His educational journey at the renowned Berklee College of Music not only refined his skills but also equipped him with the knowledge necessary to contribute to the jazz community. His endeavors in Europe, particularly in establishing a jazz conservatory in Czechoslovakia, highlight his commitment to nurturing musical talent, providing opportunities for aspiring musicians who might otherwise lack access to quality education.The conversation further delves into the implications of modern technology and the internet on the music industry. Loescher articulates a positive perspective, noting that these advancements have democratized access to audiences, allowing for greater visibility of artists. This shift has redefined the dynamics between musicians and their listeners, fostering a closer connection that transcends traditional barriers. As the dialogue concludes, Loescher shares insights into his upcoming performances across the United States, reinforcing his ongoing dedication to musical expression and audience engagement. This episode serves as a testament to Loescher's artistic journey, resilience, and the transformative power of music.Takeaways: Shawn Loescher's CD, Distance Collector's Edition, underwent significant remastering to improve sound quality. Loescher began his musical journey at the age of fifteen, performing at local gigs and jazz clubs. The impact of the Internet has enabled greater opportunities for independent artists to gain recognition. Loescher highlighted the importance of music education in Eastern Europe and his role in establishing a jazz conservatory. During his time in Montreal, Loescher has been actively involved in the vibrant local jazz scene. The trio format has become a defining characteristic of Loescher's musical expression and creativity.

Scot and Jeff discuss the first part of Tom Waits's career (1973-1982) 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 WaitsThere's a world going on underground, and Political Beats is here to explore it, in all of its seedy, alcohol sodden, and extremely performative oddity. Yes, its time to begin a journey into the heart of Saturday night, as we explore the career of Tom Waits, one of the modern musical era's most notably stubborn, and brilliant, eccentrics. It may be difficult to explain the charms of a wrecked-voiced jazz pianist sketching portraits of the dissolute Los Angeles nightlife of the mid-1970s, but during this first part of Waits's career -- when he climbed out of the Laurel Canyon rock scene to carve his own unique furrow as an affected beat-poet drunkard -- the man's albums speak for themselves.During the second half of this two-part Political Beats retrospective, the gang will explore the fearless (and endlessly influential) art-rock musical turn Waits took during the 1980s. And there is true continuity between both phases -- at the end of the day, Tom Waits has never forgotten how to write a beautiful, memorable piano melody. But for now, settle in for a trip as far away from “rock and roll,” in some ways as Political Beats has ever traveled outside of Willie Nelson. Prepare to settle in with a drink and a smoke in a jazz lounge at 1:00 a.m. The night is only just getting started.

Today we have JJA president Howard Mandel hosting a compelling discussion on political activism in jazz with three remarkable musicians who have dedicated their careers to both artistic excellence and social change.Our first guest is Terri Lyne Carrington, the four-time Grammy-winning drummer, composer, and producer who serves as Founder and Artistic Director of the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice. As an NEA Jazz Master and Doris Duke Artist, Terri Lyne has spent four decades advocating for women, transgender, and nonbinary musicians while reimagining jazz's aesthetic possibilities. Her recent work includes the acclaimed album "new STANDARDS vol.1," featuring compositions by women, and a powerful reconceptualization of Max Roach and Abbey Lincoln's "We Insist!" for the modern era.Joining her is Orbert Davis, the Emmy Award-winning trumpeter, composer, and educator who co-founded the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic. As host of "The Real Deal with Orbert Davis" on 90.9 FM WDCB, Orbert has built extraordinary cultural bridges through his "Immigrant Stories" concert series and groundbreaking collaborations with Cuban musicians. His work transforms jazz into a vehicle for international understanding and social healing.Our third guest is Marc Ribot, the innovative guitarist whose extensive collaborations include work with Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, and John Zorn. Beyond his acclaimed recording career spanning over 25 albums, Marc has emerged as a fierce advocate for musicians' economic rights through his organizing work with the Content Creators Coalition and efforts to reform the American Federation of Musicians.Together, these three artists explore what jazz activism means today—from challenging gender inequities and supporting immigrant communities to fighting for fair compensation and workers' rights. Their conversation reveals how jazz continues to serve as both artistic expression and instrument of social change.Take a look at the Jazz Omnibus, the 600-page anthology of 21st century photos and writings by members of the Jazz Journalist Association, available online and wherever books are soldDon't miss new episodes of The Buzz.

Tanita Tikaram's second gig had an audience of three – one paying customer and two concert promoters. When one of them wanted to talk to her afterwards she said, “sorry, I've got to get the train home.” She was 17.

We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Dennis and Brent do some sleuthing work to ascertain whether a crackpot article about Tom Waits is A.I. slop or just straight-up plagiarism, and whether or not Dr. Sean Olive has a substance-abuse problem. Then they sort through two lists of speakers that audiophiles all either love or hate to find which speakers are on both lists, wonder why it seems like every audiophile who's ever “polled” must be over 70, then (sort of) fondly reminisce about the (mostly) lousy speakers from the days of their youth—many of which are on one or both of these lists.

Julian, Madeline, and Emilio wrap up their cycle of Musicians on Film by diving into the filmography of Tom Waits, once dubbed a "performer, singer, actor, magician, spirit guide, changeling" by the great Neil Young. Joined by Madeline's dad Richard, the trio kick off the conversation by discussing Waits' starring role in Jim Jarmusch's "Down By Law", and ponder the similarities between his character Zack and his well-known boozy troubadour persona. The group then pivots to Francis Ford Coppola's campy classic "Bram Stoker's Dracula", and agree that Waits' interpretation of R. M. Renfield is the necessary constant in such a sprawling film. And although our subject only appears in one of the six vignettes that make up Joel and Ethan Coen's "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs", the conversation would not be complete without taking the time to appreciate Waits' magnetism as the prospector in "All Gold Canyon".Subscribe to Richard's Substack for pieces on politics, satire, anger, and more at substack.com/@mcmongrelIf you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.

This week we are taking mushrooms and trying to contact comatose men while we discuss “Babylon”! We're talking Mulder dancing at the Badonkadonk, how real it is that Skinner's migraines are caused by Mulder, wonder who exactly Miller and Einstein remind us of, get excited to see cowboy-hatted Lone Gunmen, and get sad that Tom Waits had to be brought into this. We note the excess of both offensive Muslim stereotypes but also Texas stereotypes, Dean Haglund going missing in Australia, and debate just how embarrassing that dream sequence was.

Travis's good friend Steve "Laskollywollydodere" Laskowski returns to the show to offer his take on Tom Waits and the 1971 demo recordings released in 1993 called The Early Years Vol. 2
Season 9 kicks off with an epic 2-part conversation with engineer/producer Mark Howard. Mark has been behind the console for some of the greatest and most sonically interesting albums of the past 40 years - Emmylou Harris “Wrecking Ball”, Dylan's “Time Out Of Mind”, Willie Nelson's “Teatro”, Chris Whitley, Neil Young, Tom Waits, Lucinda WIlliams and many more. While he is most often associated with Daniel Lanois as his engineer, Mark has gone off on his own to become one of the most respected producers in the business. It's quite a run for yet another kid from Hamilton, Ontario whose career kicked off creating the sonics for The Neville Brothers classic “Yellow Moon” and went on from there. We get into some of his many projects, and talk about some of the interesting locations that he and Lanois set up shop in over the years. There's some fascinating stories here and quite a few of them I'd never heard before, even as a total music nerd. This was a hefty conversation, so it's broken into 2 parts. Part 2 will come out 1 week from today.Mark doesn't have a website, but he is quite active on social media, so you can find him there. Be sure to check out his 2 books and look for the new documentary film about his incredible career.

For the 20th anniversary of the debut Clap Your Hands Say Yeah album, we take a detailed look at how it was made. After Alec Ounsworth began recording demos of the songs he was writing, he connected with musicians he met while attending Connecticut College. The band was officially formed in 2004 and included Ounsworth, Lee Sargent, Tyler Sargent, Sean Greenhalgh and Robbie Guertin. As the rest of the band relocated to New York, Ounsworth remained in his hometown of Philadelphia and commuted for rehearsals and shows. They started recording an EP that they were intending to shop around to labels. While continuing to work on new songs, the EP evolved into a full-length album that they recorded in spurts when they could get studio time. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (Self-Titled) was eventually self-released in 2005. In this episode, Ounsworth describes his songwriting process for the album and how his demos grew into the full band arrangements. He lays out his vision for the album and how he was hyper focused on adding overdubs, interludes and song segues to create a more impactful listening experience. By releasing and distributing the album themselves, he describes the value he put on being independent at that time. In addition, he talks about the discomfort he felt when the band started gaining a lot of attention, partially due to a Pitchfork review of the album. From being labeled “blog rock,” to developing his unconventional vocal style, to writing about romantic relationships and the prospect of success, to taking inspiration from artists like Brian Eno, Tom Waits, Wire, The Magnetic Fields and David Bowie, to the value of doing it yourself and remaining independent, we'll hear the stories of how the record came together.
