For decades, the innovative guitarist Marc Ribot has been a first-call session musician, lending his singular instrumental voice to recordings by Tom Waits, Marianne Faithfull, Elvis Costello, T-Bone Burnett and many more. On his brand new album, Map Of A Blue City (New West Records), Ribot adds his actual voice to the music for his first ever vocal album, one that took roughly 30 years to finally see the light of day. In our conversation, he talks about working with the late, great Hal Willner (who worked on the early stages of ...Blue City), the poetry of Allen Ginsberg, and why Tom Waits is such a uniquely effective bandleader.

Welcome to our new series, “The Beat Goes On,” where we will celebrate the work and enduring influence of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, and the other writers whom we identify as “The Beats.” - that crop of artists who worked to expand our consciousness, exploring the hidden possibilities of post WW2 America in the 1950s - Other significant names to be explored: Diane Di Prima, Tuli Kupferberg, Ed Sanders, Delmore Schwarz, Anne Waldman, Carolyn Cassidy, and many others.We will also include jazz musicians like Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Dizzy Gillespie, whose sinuous Bebop lines influenced the expansive prose of Kerouac and poetry of Ginsberg, and comedians like Lenny Bruce, Lord Buckley, Brother Theodore and Dick Gregory with their scathing critique and unmasking of our nation's hypocrisy beneath the self-deceptive rhetoric of American exceptionalism. And, then there are their artistic children like Hunter S. Thompson, Charles Bukowski, Tom Waits and Lou Reed…. The list goes on.First off: we need to define that confusing term “beat”… Once the satirists were able to pin them down, the Beats and their devotees were labelled “Beatniks” (a cold war epithet) and put into a farcical box. This is where I, as a child, first became aware of them through the character of Maynard G. Krebs on the Dobie Gillis show. The child-like, pre-hippie with the dirty sweatshirt and goatee, indelibly played by Bob Denver, later of Gilligan fame. He was a gentle figure of fun, not to be taken seriously. But, the truth goes so much deeper. Kerouac defined Beat as short for “beatitude” - a state of grace, a codex for the maturing “peace and love” Baby Boom generation coming up - those in search of existence's deeper meaning beyond the consumerist and war-like American culture being offered as our only option.Well, boy, do we need them now! HENRY MILLER INTERVIEWOur inaugural offering is a 1964 interview with the writer Henry Miller, of TROPIC OF CANCER, TROPIC OF CAPRICORN, and THE ROSY CRUCIFIXION TRILOGY fame, among many others. This is an insightful, in depth look at a artist of gargantuan influence. Miller was interviewed by Audrey June Wood in Minneapolis during a speaking tour; he considered this interview to be one of his best. Miller discourses on some of his favorite books and authors and the struggle of writing well. It was released on Smithsonian/ Folkways Records.Strictly speaking, Miller was not a Beat - he preceded them, and out lived many of them, making it to 88 in 1980, but he was their spiritual and artistic pathfinder.Living hand to mouth, on the edge, abroad in Paris, writing free form in a raw, explicit, semi-autobiographical manner, telling the truth about sex, love, art, and struggle - he set the artistic compass for the Beats - as Dostoevsky and Walt Whitman had done before him. They are all part of a chain - a chain of searchers, and we are fortunate to have these lights to guide us on our own personal journeys to self realization. Please enjoy…THE BEAT GOES ON.
Here are some songs from your life, "Backstreet Girl" by the Rolling Stones, "Joey" by Bob Dylan, "Road to Nowhere" by the Talking Heads, "Boy In The Bubble" by Paul Simon, "July Fourth, Asbury Park", better known as "Sandy" by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, "Wouldn't It Be Nice" by the Beach Boys. They all rely heavily on the accordion. "Wouldn't It Be Nice" is the biggest shock. Even if you know that song, it might never have occurred to you that Brian Wilson uses I'm pretty sure two accordions to make the primary propulsive musical fabric of that song. The last two decades of indie music ought to have normalized the accordion - Tom Waits, REM, Arcade Fire, The Decemberists... I could go on. It has also endured years of ridicule here in the United States, even while it remained beloved and esteemed in Argentina, Paris, and almost everywhere else in the world. Now, it's enjoying a renaissance here in the States. This hour, we celebrate that with accordion rock stars of all styles. You'll meet a man who is reclaiming the accordion, outfitting his latest version with MIDI controls, so it can mimic voice and other instruments, a woman who specializes in klezmer, and a man who plays his accordion in a trio alongside a guitar and tuba. You also meet other accordion rock stars, including James Fearnley from The Pogues. Just try to tell him that the squeezebox isn’t cool. GUESTS: Cory Pesaturo: Multiple award-winning accordion player from Rhode Island Christina Crowder: Accordion player who specializes in klezmer and other Eastern European styles, and is a member of the Accordion/Violin/Viola trio, Bivolita Will Holshouser: Accordion player and founder of the accordion/guitar/tuba trio, Musette Explosion James Fearnley: Accordion player for The Pogues and the author of the memoir, Here Comes Everybody, The Story of The Pogues. He’s also a composer, and a founding member of The Low And Sweet Orchestra Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

Send us a textIn this episode, we take a heartfelt journey through the American songbook to explore how small towns have been portrayed in music. From the romanticized front porches and dusty roads to the heartbreak, nostalgia, and gritty realism, small-town life has long been a lyrical muse. We dive into tracks that celebrate tight-knit communities, critique limited opportunities, and immortalize the hometowns that shaped the artists behind the music.Songs by John Mellencamp, Doobie Brothers, Tom Waits, among others—offer glimpses into the everyday hopes and struggles of small-town living. Whether it's a place to escape from or the only place that ever felt like home, the small town looms large in American music culture.Topics Covered:The duality of pride and frustration in small-town songsKey artists and their hometown-inspired hitsThe role of nostalgia in shaping musical storytellingHow small towns symbolize broader American identity-IF YOU LIKE THIS WEEKS EPISODE HELP US GROW THIS PODCAST BY RATING, SUBSCRIBE, AND FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM @MARYBS5THSON.

Er Lars Jacob den mannlige Siv Stubsveen? Det kan i alle fall høres slik ut, for stemmen hans bærer preg av den andre forekomsten av sykdom på kort tid. Sist han falt under sykdommens svøpe, var etter en hektisk tur til New York City, hvor vi blant annet gikk på bar i Brooklyn med Vegas Tenold. Vegas, eller Vegard Tenold Aase, som han egentlig heter, er en eksilbergenser i NYC, som dro dit for å studere journalistikk på Columbia University og endte opp til skogs med nynazister og Ku Klux Klan-medlemmer under skrivingen av boken "Everything You Love Will Burn". I en årrekke har Vegas fordypet seg i ekstremismen, og vi graver oss ned i hvordan ensomhet og identitet henger sammen med fremveksten av ekstremisme. Vi trekker opp et lerret som om mulig er det bredeste hittil i Bærekraftseventyr-historien. Det blir a-cappella-kor og motorsykkelgjenger, Andrew Tate og mannosfæren, hvorvidt det er størst samhold i en teatertrupp eller i en orgie, og amerikansk 80-talls-TV. Vi snakker selleri og urteost, kommer inn på historien om hvordan Kanye West stjal et bilde fra en av Vegas sine artikler og spør oss om identitet er annerledes i internettalderen. Lars Jacob trekker lange musikklinjer, Vegas innser at å være Vice-journalist var en stor del av identiteten hans, Sveinung løper til skogs med rusmisbrukere og vi får høre om gråtende nynazister på et jorde i Georgia. Kjendisadvokaten Mike the Bulldog dukker opp, Vegas går på strippeklubb (gråtende), vi planlegger å invitere Vegas til NHH og vi er på grensen til å planlegge et album med Tom Waits-coverlåter. Det blir mer orgie-prat, Vegas bæres ut av et middagsselskap og vi samler på anekdoter, for det er vel kanskje meningen med livet. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

James Lawrence can be found mixing delicious cocktails at the tiny Kansas City, MO speakeasy, Swordfish Tom's. Music is important to a place named in honor of Tom Waits, but so is community, which is something James understands deeply. Whether it's the community of an intimate cocktail space, or the musical communities in the jam band and jamtronica scenes, James enjoys cultivating enjoyable environments for others to share an experience in. He loves this so much he left his role in the wine world to be able to have bartending as a permanent side hustle along with a flexible daytime gig! He also made a groovy playlist for us: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0AAWk8xmFfnskwSGPIZhgb?si=RYv9Zuo1SbSN5ahIAMXotA

"The first thing that stood out to me about this field recording is that there is no real melodic information. It's all street noise, most of it not of clearly recognisable origin. "Even though Dubrovnik is 4,700 miles away from where I live, in another country on another continent across an ocean, the soundscape is very familiar to me. Garbage trucks and ventilation units all speak the same language. "In her notes on the recording, Ristić describes the noisy Dubrovnik morning with richly evocative phrases like: “textural and multiphonic”; “grinding machinery”; “the town's growling bowels”; and “a constant percussive development.” "She writes: “I could not help but be fascinated by how a landscape of such beaming beauty can exist in this hideous soundscape.” "I kicked around a few ideas but eventually decided to have the work be entirely rhythmic. I wanted to capture that unfocused, only-half-listening state when you become aware of rhythms emerging from the background and soon you begin adding your own. "Early on I was listening to the recording on headphones while walking home from the train and imagining different rhythmic elements over it. I was walking at a good pace and that set the tempo. It's a long walk and I got so used to that beat that thereafter I couldn't imagine it differently. "I wanted to use the field recording as the sole sound source but at some point found a royalty-free recording of pealing church bells in Old Town Dubrovnik that was too wonderful to not use*. Aside from that, everything is derived from the field recording. *[Royalty Free Sound Library: “Croatia Church Bells” recorded by Free to Use Sounds and purchased on Bandcamp] "I created and assembled this piece using Koala Sampler, AUM and AudioShare, splitting tasks between my iPhone and my iPad. Ultimately I didn't use any audio effects or digital manipulation. "I find inspiration everywhere, but this composition was particularly inspired by Dance of the Knights from Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet, Tom Waits' junkyard jug band sound, and Manja Ristić's previous work with field recordings. When I saw she had contributed a recording for the project, I chose it immediately." Dubrovnik streets reimagined by daddy fall down.

TDA The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Garth Heckman Title: Created to Be You: Embracing God's Design Introduction: Begin by acknowledging that in today's world, there's a lot of pressure to conform, to fit into certain molds. But what does God's Word say about our individuality? Ask the group: "Have you ever felt pressure to be someone you're not? Where does that pressure come from?" Scripture Readings: Psalm 139:13-16: "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." Discussion points: What does it mean to be "fearfully and wonderfully made"? How does this passage emphasize God's intentionality in creating each of us? How does the fact that God saw your "unformed body" and ordained your days, indicate his personal involvement in our lives? Genesis 1:27: "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." I have learned early on if I am singing a song that I wrote… don't worry about how my voice lines up to anyone else's… Do you think Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Kim Carnes, Ronnie James Dio, Louis Armstrong, Tom Waits, Stephen Pearcy… I could go on and on… do you think they wished they sounded like Adelle? NOT a chance, they would not be famous right now… they are themselves and famous because of it. If I preach a sermon… I have many times wished I could preach like other pastors and communicators… their set up, their delivery, their insight, their knowledge beyond scripture… WOW… but I have learned I am always at my best when I am just me. Discussion points: What does it mean to be created "in God's image”? IT TRULY MEANS TO BE WHO HE CREATED YOU TO BE. How does this verse establish our inherent worth and dignity? How does this verse indicate that all humans have value, and are created uniquely? 1 Corinthians 12:12-27: This passage speaks of the body of Christ, with each member having a unique and vital function. Discussion points: How does this analogy illustrate the importance of our individual gifts and contributions? How does this passage encourage us to value our differences and recognize our interdependence? How does this apply to our individual personalities, and giftings? Romans 12:2: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Discussion points: What does it mean to "not conform to the pattern of this world"? How does the renewing of our minds help us embrace our true selves? How does knowing God's will relate to being our authentic selves? Key Takeaways: God's intentional design: God created each of us with unique gifts, talents, and personalities. Value in individuality: Our differences are not flaws but essential parts of God's plan. Freedom from conformity: We are called to live authentically, not to imitate the world's standards. God's image: Each person bears the image of God, therefore each person has great value. The body of Christ: Our individual uniqueness is vital to the body of Christ. Application: Encourage participants to reflect on their own unique qualities and how they can use them to serve God and others. Discuss practical ways to resist the pressure to conform and embrace their true selves. Pray for the group, that they may find the strength to be whom God created them to be. Closing: Remind everyone that God loves them unconditionally and celebrates their individuality. Encourage them to walk in confidence, knowing that they are fearfully and wonderfully made

Micah the Magician and singer/songwriter Dread Persephone joined Mark and Nicole for a magical good time Micah talked about how he landed his appearance on Penn and Teller Fool Me in a very unusual way and what goes on in such a performance (in his case he had to purchase jumbo cards for Allyson Hannigan to handle) his appreciation for Edgar Allen Poe which has led to his annual variety show in tribute to Poe, how difficult it really is to juggle blindfolded while in a wind tunnel, how lucrative his residuals are for his recurring role as "buffoon #1" on Dawson's Creek and goes in depth on the legacy of Houdini and how every magician aspires to be in a straightjacket. Erin aka Dread Persephone talked about her love of Greek mythology, was surprised to learn of a British band with the same name (who of course will have to change it now) went into detail about how to build a homemade synthesizer, why she doesn't consider herself goth but goth adjacent, why she is a one person band and the challenges of playing live without a band, how even though she has a more electronic sound how she is mainly inspired by Tom Waits and Nick Cave and recites a lyric she was surprised she wrote Oh, and Nicole does a little magic as well...

The Chelsea Hotel sits at 222 West 23rd Street in Manhattan…since it was completed in 1884, the place has been a hangout for some very colourful characters…most were New York eccentrics and bohemians who needed a place to live…but it also attracted some famous people. At one point or another, it was home to sci-fi writer Arthur C. Clarke who wrote a big chunk of “2001: A Space Odyssey” in his room…later, Stanley Kubrick, the producer of the movie version of the book would stay there… Other long-term guests included photographer Robert Mapplethorpe stayed there…so did included beat writer Jack Kerouac, playwrights Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, and Sam Shepherd, actors Dennis Hopper, Uma Thurman, Elliott Gould, and Jane Fonda…plus, for extra colour, poets William Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg—not to mention Andy Warhol and some of his crew. The Chelsea was also a favourite haunt of musicians…Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Leonard Cohen, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Tom Waits, Jim Morrison, Jeff Beck, Joni Mitchell, Alice Cooper, the guys in Pink Floyd, and many, many others. But the most notorious floor was floor 1…it was designated the “junkie floor,” the place where guests with drug problems were placed so that staff could keep an eye on things… This was where ex-Sex Pistol Sid Vicious and his American girlfriend, Nancy Spungen checked in…they were given room 100. It was in that room Nancy died…it looks like she was murdered...but by whom? ...Sid was charged with killing her, but did he?. This is “Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry”…and this time, it's the wild story of the death of Nancy Spungen and the questions that still remain decades later…around whether Sid Vicious actually did it.

After a brief discussion of Waits’ career up to that point, including his early association with LA’s Troubadour-based Mellow Mafia, they’ll jaws-of-life their way into the album’s rusted center, from figuring out exactly which field recording of Pygmy drumming inspired the opening cut to the precise nature of the chicken-ranch storage room the album was tracked in. They’ll run down every Easter egg in the lyrics, from Tony Franciosa to Oldsmobiles, and identify minutiae from the flea-market piece of music gear Waits got repaired at a TV shop to the details of how Tom met Keef (Richards, that is.)

Ted Kilgore fell for spirits hard - and he grew up in a lifestyle that absolutely forbade that type of thing. A mostly self taught bartender who started in a sketchy hotel, he read bartender books and followed the leads of cocktail legends to work his way up to eventual ownership. Now as co-owner of Planters House and Small Change in St. Louis, Missouri, Kilgore is able to marry his two big obsessions - spirits and Tom Waits - to create craft cocktail menus as well as the playlists to go along with them.

Stephen Hodges is a drummer and composer, born, raised, and based in Long Beach, California. Stephen is the man behind the iconic and culturally permeating drum sounds and rhythms on Tom Wait's Rain Dogs and Swordfishtrombones. He has extensively toured and recorded with John Hammond, The Smashing Pumpkins, Chuck Berry, Wanda Jackson, and Mavis Staples. He was also handpicked by David Lynch to lend his unique and thoughtful sonic expression to the Twin Peaks: Firewalk With Me soundtrack. His collaboration with Mike Baggetta and old pal Mike Watt, MSSV, will be releasing their 3rd studio album On and On on March 7th via BIG EGO Records. Stephen shares how his early experience's, his perspective on education and how a 32” bass drum developed his definitive style and is shaping his on-going career. We learn why playing 50+ shows prior to recording On and On is essential to the MSSV process, what surprises they encountered as the songs evolved and how replacing their stolen van changed Stephens drum sound. We get a peek in-side MSSV's recording process at Big Ego Studios, how the Minutemen's political view on notes influenced the rhythm section on On and On and Joe tries but fails to resist talking drums with Stephen.

HORROR WITH SIR. STURDY EPISODE 534 THE DEAD DON'T DIE REVIEW
Let's celebrate, “Hi, How Are You Day”, an annual event honoring the late singer-songwriter Daniel Johnston. The Indianapolis-based label Joyful Noise Recordings will be hosting a special “Hi, How Are You Day” event on January 24, featuring an exhibition of Daniel Johnston's visual artwork. The exhibit was curated by Johnston's friend and former road manager Don Goede. Listen to interviews with Goede, and Joyful Noise Recordings' founder Karl Hofstetter, as they discuss the significance of Johnston's music. Daniel Johnston was born in Sacramento, California in 1961 and he grew up in West Virginia. As a teenager, Johnston began obsessively creating music and art, often recording his songs on cheap consumer tape recorders. Throughout his life, Johnston faced serious mental health issues, struggling with schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder. In his music, Johnston wrote about his life and troubles with disarming honesty. While living in Austin, Texas in the mid 1980s, Johnston began distributing his homemade tapes by hand, passing cassettes out to friends and strangers. By the late 1980s, Johnston's tapes had fallen into the hands of high-profile indie rock musicians, including members of Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr., who championed his music. In 1992, Johnston's name was thrust into popular culture, when Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain appeared on MTV wearing a Daniel Johnston t-shirt. Johnston died in 2019 at the age of 58, but his legacy remains stronger than ever. Johnston's music has expanded beyond the world of underground rock, with artists including Lana Del Rey, Beck and Tom Waits performing his songs.
Maggie speaks with Willie Nelson's youngest son Micah Nelson also known as "Particle Kid" about his latest collaboration with his Father. Willie's 76th studio album and 153rd album overall as he celebrates his 91st year. Willie Nelson is now in his 7th decade as a songwriter, performer and recording artist, but one of his most underrated talents is song interpretation. Over his career he has tackled songs from across the world of music, making each his own. Willie turns his gaze to a collection of songs by rock legends, idiosyncratic singer songwriters, alt-rock heroes, and indie folk artists. The result is a gorgeously cohesive rumination on loss, love, and world-weary hope, perfectly complemented by spare and spooky musical production. Lovingly curated and produced by his son Micah Nelson, Last Leaf On The Tree finds Willie covering songs from moody indie rock (Beck), psych alt-pop (The Flaming Lips) and punk-informed folk (Sunny War, Micah's Particle Kid) to thought-provoking soul jazz (Nina Simone) and lesser-known gems from legends like Tom Waits, Neil Young, Keith Richards, and Warren Zevon. In addition, the album features new takes on one of Willie's oldest songs (“The Ghost” from 1962) plus a new one penned with Micah (“The Color Of Sound”) that joins Willie's collection of Zen-soaked classics. In addition to producing, Micah Nelson plays many of the instruments and even designed the album cover. He is joined by a host of celebrated musicians plus guest spots from legendary producer and musician Daniel Lanois, John Densmore of The Doors and harmonica master Mickey Raphael, who has played alongside Willie for over 50 years.Source: https://legacyrecordings.medium.com/willie-nelson-the-last-leaf-on-the-tree-d94188f65739Source: https://www.sonymusic.com/legacy/legacy-recordings-releases-willie-nelson-last-leaf-on-the-tree-track/Source: https://willienelson.com/Host Maggie LePique, a radio veteran since the 1980's at NPR in Kansas City Mo.

The great actor of stage and screen, Harris Yulin ("Scarface", "Ozark"), returns to the podcast. He was in the 1987 film "Candy Mountain" which was recently re-released. New York City, 1980s. A struggling, deadbeat musician named Julius has fallen on hard times. With no guitar, band or paying gigs, he cooks up a get-rich-quick scheme – to find the legendary, yet elusive guitar-maker Elmore Silk. Considered one of the greatest luthiers in the business, Silk's disappearance from the scene has only made his work more coveted by musicians and executives looking to make a buck off his name. Julius agrees to track the man down and sets out on the road. Meant to be a simple journey upstate, Julius stumbles down a long, winding road full of dead-ends and wrong turns towards an eventual revelatory conclusion in the Canadian wilderness. One of the great cult classics of the 1980s and starring character actors Kevin J O'Conner and Harris Yulin, the supporting cast features real-life music legends Tom Waits, Leon Redbone, Joe Strummer, Dr. John, David Johansen and more. “A wry, laid-back Heart of Darkness" (Chicago Reader), Candy Mountain combines the keen eye of legendary photographer Robert Frank with novelist/screenwriter Rudy Wurlitzer's mythic American prose to produce the quintessential road movie. "Candy Mountain" is currently available on various streaming platforms.

Taking place within a future apocalyptic wasteland, Denzel Washington plays the titular Eli and he's traversing through this wasteland with an all-important book (hence the title)...along with a super-sharp machete blade, shotgun, killer instincts, and car battery-powered IPod Classic. Things get hairy once he arrives in the wrong town where the local villain Carnegie (Gary Oldman) wants to take possession of this mysterious book. And what results is an increasingly violent stand-off between Eli and Carnegie's small army of marauders lead by Redridge played by the late, great Ray Stevenson. Along the way, Eli takes in a sort-of-protégé Solara played by Mila Kunis. Directed by Allen and Albert Hughes (Menace II Society, Dead Presidents), this bleak action thriller borrows a LOT from The Mad Max Saga but it has a strong enough cast to keep things interesting....
