Podcasts about U2

U2 have released a joyful new cover of the Pogues' “Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah”—or, as we are now calling it, The Yays—and the Garden Tarts have thoughts.In this episode, Hillary and Jenny talk about U2's light, playful take on the Shane MacGowan song for the upcoming 20th Century Paddy: The Songs of Shane MacGowan tribute album. They discuss the connection to producer Steve Lillywhite, why the cover's childlike keyboard sound works for them, and why not every U2 cover needs to be heavy or “important.”They also take a friendly but firm detour into the importance of checking sources before sharing U2 rumors, tour dates, album art, and supposed announcements. If it is not coming from U2 directly—or from a dependable source clearly labeling speculation as speculation—proceed with caution.At intermission, listeners share moving, joyful, nostalgic, and occasionally spicy feelings about last week's Cigar Box selection: “Beautiful Day.” From weddings, first homes, fatherhood, recovery, and graduation to questions about singles, setlists, and “Vertigo,” this conversation proves once again that U2 songs become part of people's life stories.Then Hillary reports back from a weekend with U2topia and Coldplay tribute act Back to the Start. There were thoughtful setlists, “Do You Hear Me Coming, Lord?” in “One,” “Shine Like Stars” woven into “With or Without You,” a brilliant Back to the Future-inspired opening, and a joint finale of David Bowie's “Heroes.”And finally: the Cigar Box has spoken. Next week's song is “Zoo Station.”In this episodeU2's cover of the Pogues' “Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah”The upcoming Shane MacGowan tribute album, 20th Century Paddy: The Songs of Shane MacGowanWhy the Garden Tarts find U2's version “adorable,” light, and funSteve Lillywhite's connection to the Pogues' original recordingU2 covers we love, covers we do not, and why that is okayHow to separate confirmed U2 news from rumors and misinformationListener memories and reactions to “Beautiful Day”Why All That You Can't Leave Behind remains emotionally tied to the era around September 11 for many fansA lively “Beautiful Day” versus “Vertigo” discussionJenny's U2topia concert recapColdplay tribute band Back to the Start and their Back to the Future entranceA shared performance of David Bowie's “Heroes”The next Cigar Box pick: “Zoo Station”Listener voicesThank you to everyone who shared a “Beautiful Day” memory or opinion.Your stories—from weddings and parenthood to recovery, new homes, and hard-won graduation days—made this week's conversation especially meaningful.Links and calls to actionFollow the Garden Tarts on social media: @the_gardentartsVisit: thegardentarts.comSubscribe to the Garden Tarts YouTube channelSign up for the newsletterSupport the podcast on Patreon or Buy Me a CoffeeShare this episode with your U2 friendsLeave a five-star review on Apple PodcastsKissing Lips and Breaking Hearts, a U2 podcast with the Garden Tarts, is created, produced, and edited by the Garden Tarts.

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks—the show that explores how melody, rhythm, and creative fire can lift us out of the darkest moments. I'm your host, James Cox, a longtime “handicapped” skater‑turned‑podcaster who knows first‑hand how a good track can pull you through the toughest days.In today's episode we sit down with Brett Ashby—a world‑traveling contemporary artist, performance painter, motivational speaker, and ten‑year cancer survivor. Brett has turned a childhood love of skateboarding into a breathtaking art form: he paints vivid portraits while cruising on a skateboard, often on a half‑pipe, with live musicians providing the soundtrack. From his early days drawing in primary school, to collaging a Barack‑Obama piece for Art Basel Miami, to painting Tony Hawk‑inspired canvases on vert ramps, Brett's journey proves that creativity can be far more than self‑expression—it can be a lifeline.We'll hear how a U2 album became his chemotherapy companion, how he transformed a near‑fatal neck injury into a triumphant return to the board, and why he now mentors emerging artists while rolling, painting, and composing his own songs. Expect stories about:The “Energy” live‑skate portrait series that fuses rock, African drumming, Gregorian chant, and the natural sound of wheels on wood.The surreal surf‑board easel that birthed his “Understanding Life and Death” blue‑whale triptych displayed on Times Square's 32‑story billboard.Brett's favorite music that fuels his flow state, the moments when silence is essential, and the bands that helped him survive cancer.Quick‑fire lightning‑round answers that reveal his coffee‑first mornings, sunset preferences, favorite color (blue), and the dream of painting James from Metallica.If you've ever wondered how music can become a healer, how art can turn pain into purpose, or simply want to be inspired by a man who literally paints while he rolls, this episode is for you. Grab your headphones, turn up the volume, and let Brett's story remind us that when words fall short, the beat always carries us forward.Stay tuned—after the break we dive right into the conversation.

Hear "American Girl" or "Born in the U.S.A." and, like it or not, chances are you begin to hum along. The soundtrack of grocery stores, pool halls, bowling alleys, flea markets, chain restaurants, drug stores, and political rallies--heartland rock, while beloved by some and derided by others, is inescapable even today. As rollicking as the music it describes, acclaimed music critic Erin Osmon's Won't Back Down: Heartland Rock and the Fight for America (W. W. Norton & Company, 2026) tells the story of the origins, chart-topping development, and tangled legacy of heartland rock, the music that ruled the airwaves of the 1980s and remains instantly recognizable to millions. Spinning an entertaining and eye-opening account, Osmon delves into the complicated afterlife of heartland rock's classic albums and songs, including Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run," Bob Seger's "Against the Wind," John Mellencamp's "Small Town," and Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down." She demonstrates the centrality of often-overlooked women like Melissa Etheridge, Bonnie Raitt, and Lucinda Williams--explaining how some of the most popular music of the time was made beyond its white-male stereotypes. She traces the genre's connections to country and Americana, and reveals how legendary figures like Prince were inspired by and expanded heartland rock. And she shows how its success revitalized the careers of figures like Bob Dylan and Neil Young. Through it all, she explores the '80s cultural developments that fostered the genre--such as the rise of MTV and the switch to CDs--and argues that the music played a vital role in opposition to '80s conservatism and in support of LGBTQ rights, labor issues, and the environmental movement. A fair-minded critic with an ear for a great behind-the-scenes story, Osmon makes clear that at its best, heartland rock connected with millions of overlooked people longing to be heard. Erin Osmon is a music journalist, critic, and author of books on John Prine and Jason Molina. Her writing appears in the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Rolling Stone, and others. She won the Deems Taylor/Virgil Thompson Award for album notes in 2023 and several LA Press Club Southern California Journalism awards. She lives in Nashville. Erin Osmon's website and Instagram.

Brandon Flowers of The Killers joins Sodajerker to discuss his new solo album Thrasher, a country record cut live at Nashville's RCA Studio A. Brandon explains how the album returns him to the music his father raised him on, and the lessons that still underpin his fighting spirit today. He also discusses how U2 informed 'Mr. Brightside', what he learned about pre-choruses from Oasis, and writing on the piano Elton John sent to his house.

Side A brings the U2 news roundup, including reports of Bono's involvement in the upcoming Free Nelson Mandela documentary, a Windmill Lane book in the works, U2's participation in a Shane MacGowan tribute project, and Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno's guest-producer roles on the next U2 album.Then it's show-and-tell time: a promo copy of War, a new U2.com hoodie, record-store dreams, and the challenge of finding Rattle and Hum on vinyl “organically.”On Side B, the random-song cigar box delivers “God Part II.” We dig into why this compact, punchy, contradictory track may be less a Rattle and Hum outlier than an early signpost toward Achtung Baby.

For most GenXers, going to the beach in the 70s and 80s meant jumping waves, building sandcastles, and getting sun poisoning so bad you and your siblings would take turns peeling each other's skin off. For Heidi K. Brown, it was her job to put a stop to all that beach fun. Her summers were spent pounding the hot sand passing out flyers trying to convince parents to hand their kids over to her parents' Vacation Bible School. Bitchin' summer? NOT! In this episode, Eileen talks with Heidi about her memoir THE MAP I DRAW, the path that led her from law and legal writing into travel memoir, and how Rome became a turning point in her life. They dig into family, faith, fear, rebellion, and the idea of “aging powerfully” instead of quietly accepting limits.Heidi shares how travel became a form of healing from some of the dysfunction she carried from her conservative fundamentalist Gen X childhood, how she built a writing practice around journals and Morning Pages, and why she sees memoir as both storytelling and self-advocacy.Heidi is a Law Professor and Associate Dean for Upper Level Writing at New York Law School. She earned her master's degree in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania in 2021. She crafted a life of flourishing through teaching, writing, boxing, jumping up and down at U2 concerts, studying Italian, and traveling the world solo.

How big is big when it comes to U2?This week, we dig into the astonishing attendance and box-office numbers behind U2's touring legacy—from the 7+ million tickets sold during the 360° Tour to the nearly 150,000 people reportedly gathered for PopMart in Reggio Emilia. We talk Rose Bowl records, Wembley crowds, why some PopMart shows felt oddly empty despite the tour's major grosses, and how ticket prices and inflation complicate comparisons across eras.We also wonder: what is it really like for Bono to play for 20,000 people versus 150,000? And, if he could travel anywhere next, what might still be on his bucket list?In this mini episode:U2's biggest tours by attendance and grossThe Rose Bowl, Wembley, JFK Stadium, and Reggio Emilia crowdsWhy 360° became a touring phenomenonComparing U2's live scale with the Eras TourA Bono Over Whiskey and Cake question about performing for massive crowdsFollow us at @the_gardentarts, sign up for the newsletter at thegardentarts.com, and please leave us a five-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts.

Music has a profound ability to soothe the soul, soothe cravings, and anchor emotional sobriety. In this episode of Sober.Coffee, Mike and Glenn explore the soundtrack of their recovery journeys, breaking down 10 meaningful tracks that provided hope, perspective, and healing when moving from rock bottom to a renewed life.Episode Playlist & TakeawaysSong 1: Chicago – "I've Been Searching So Long" (Mike) Reflects the exhaustion of searching for peace in the wrong places and finally finding the answer in sobriety.Song 2: U2 – "40" (Glenn) The show's official anthem. A reminder of being pulled out of the pit to sing a new song of hope and freedom.Song 3: Bad Company – "Ready for Love" (Mike) A rock anthem turned spiritual milestone—discovering how to love oneself, love others unconditionally, and love God.Song 4: The Cure – "Pictures of You" (Glenn) A tool for emotional sobriety. Making peace with old memories and photos from active addiction while cherishing the present clarity.Song 5: Elevation Worship – "The Blessing" (Mike) A spiritual, grounding track focused on stepping into a peaceful life and being a living blessing to those around you.Song 6: Matt Redman – "Better Is One Day" (Glenn) Centering the mind on spiritual connection: one day of clear, sober connection to a Higher Power outweighs thousands spent numb.Song 7 & 8: Jack's Mannequin – "Swim" (Glenn) Perspective in hard times. No matter how deep or rough the waters get in recovery, the assignment is simple: just keep swimming.Song 9: Heart – "Love Alive" (Mike) A sonic reminder to keep love as the driving engine behind daily actions and recovery work.Song 10: Blue October – "Better Man" (Glenn) A stark, powerful look at the journey from hell to redemption—showing what it truly means to live every day as a better man.Music bridges the gap between isolation and recovery. When words fail, melody and honest lyrics provide the stress relief, connection, and spiritual clarity needed to stay anchored one day at a time.

From the heart of "mossy, briny, piss-colored" 1970s Times Square to the heights of MTV News and the A&R suites of Atlantic Records, Tim Sommer has lived a dozen lives in the service of music. Dispatches From the Kingdom of Outsiders is a defiant, soulful map of the ephemeral nation built by the lonely and the weird young people who found their first true home in a Sex Pistols 45 or a picture of David Bowie. Part memoir, part high-octane cultural criticism, this collection documents a vanished era when knowledge was precious currency and a T-shirt was a flare sent up to find fellow survivors. Whether he's trying to get the Clash to sign a picture of the Beatles, sitting in a dorm room with U2 or explaining why "Wooly Bully" is the heaviest song in history, Sommer writes with the infectious "bizarrely certain" passion of the 16-year-old office boy he once was. This is more than a book about rock and roll, it is a celebration of the "Kingdom" where admission is free, and outsiders finally belong.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Keith welcomes Jim Ward back to the show and we discuss the new Sparta LP "Cut A Silhouette", the birth of the record beginning with Jim rediscovering music he grew up listening to, his own music and reconnecting with several of his former At The Drive In / Sparta bandmates, the creative process for "Cut A Silhouette", recording the record with J Robbins and the artists Jim collaborated with on the record including Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance. We also discuss Jim's history with At The Drive In, his thoughts and reflections on the band, the recent Sparta "Wiretap Scars" and "Porcelain" anniversary tours, the time Bono of U2 helped Jim in a time of need and more.  

Some weeks the conversation just goes where it goes. Evan and Cormac spend this one reading Wikipedia and AI overviews at each other in real time — the AIA convention ping-ponging from Philadelphia to Los Angeles, SoFi Stadium sunk 100 feet into the ground for the LAX flight path, its cable-net roof that expands and contracts like a tennis racket until Cormac christens it a "thermal reactive umbrella." Along the way: stadiums built as war memorials, U2 tours, and Public Enemy's opening statement in Birmingham.Underneath the tangents is a real question for the profession. The Architecture Billings Index (ABI) has sat below 50 for a year, job confidence is low, and the flagship AIA convention costs each attendee around $1,500 before tours and CEUs. This episode is especially relevant for architects deciding whether that show is still worth attending when the economy is soft — and anyone who's quietly started reading the convention as an expense instead of an investment. It's a loose, funny episode that lands somewhere honest.

A song can disappear for decades, then come roaring back because a movie director picked the perfect closing credits. That's where we start, tracing how Ben E King's “Stand By Me” went from an early-'60s hit to a late-'80s revival, and why those second lives are one of the best parts of being a music fan. We also talk about John Lennon's take on the song and its connection to a 1987 U2 show.We also rewind to a truly old-school mashup experiment from 1981, built on vinyl and tape, answering The Who's “Who Are You” with rapid-fire Beatles titles long before anyone used the word “mashup.”The second half moves through the return of live music after the pandemic, with a Dead and Company night at Citi Field that turns into a reunion with friends, strangers, and the version of yourself that only shows up at a great show. We hit a run of rock touchstones along the way, including Sam the Sham's “Little Red Riding Hood,” and Phil Collins' “In the Air Tonight,” Then we go deep on the Rolling Stones “Tattoo You” album, the opening riff of "Start Me Up", Sonny Rollins' sax on “Waiting on a Friend,” Peter Gabriel's “So” and peak MTV video creativity, and Jimmy's spotlight on The Strokes' “Is This It”.Subscribe for more rock history, concert stories, and rediscovered favorites, and if this one brings back a memory, share it with a friend and leave us a review.Learn Something New orRemember Something OldPlease like and follow the Music in My Shoes Facebook and Instagram pagesReach out to us at musicinmyshoes@gmail.comSend us a one-way message.

What happens when you hear your own hit song playing in public, but never receive the royalty?In this episode of Riding Unicorns, James sits down with Ryan Edwards, Founder & CEO of Audoo, the music technology company rebuilding how public performance royalties are measured and distributed.The idea for Audoo came from Ryan's own experience as a musician. After hearing one of his songs playing in a London department store and discovering there was effectively no reliable way to track the royalty, he started investigating how the system actually worked.What he found was an industry still relying heavily on proxy data, manual surveys and people physically visiting venues with clipboards.Audoo's answer is the Audio Meter, a small connected device that identifies music being played in public venues without recording or storing conversations. The resulting data allows collecting societies to understand what was actually played and distribute royalties more accurately to artists and rights holders.Today, Audoo operates across 16 countries, with its technology deployed in environments ranging from cafés and retailers to gyms and leisure centres.Ryan shares how he built the first prototype on a Raspberry Pi at his kitchen table, validated the idea with the former Chairman of PRS for Music, and launched the first real-world deployment on the other side of the world in Australia during COVID.We also discuss the unusual group of investors Audoo has attracted along the way, including Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Adam Clayton of U2 and Adele, and how those relationships have helped build credibility and open doors across the music industry.Topics Covered• Why the public performance royalty system needed rebuilding• The personal experience that led Ryan to start Audoo• Building the first Audio Meter prototype on a Raspberry Pi• Why privacy had to be designed into the technology from day one• The challenges of combining software, data and physical hardware• Landing Audoo's first major deployment in Australia during COVID• Why venues are willing to install Audio Meters• How better music recognition data changes royalty distributions• Raising capital from some of the biggest names in music• Expanding Audoo across 16 countries and into the Middle East• What Ryan has learned from eight years as a founder• Why founders need to celebrate wins and know when something can wait until MondayThis is a conversation about spotting an antiquated system, using technology to rebuild it from first principles, and creating the data infrastructure that could finally ensure artists are paid accurately when their music is played.

Six years of Irritable Dad Syndrome. Hundreds of arguments, questionable observations, fast-food encounters, marital grievances, Kroger incidents, and stories that really didn't need to be told publicly.And now we've gathered the best of Year 6 into one episode.In The Best of Volume 6, revisit Darin's painfully patient attempt to buy two strawberry pies from a Popeyes employee, Mike being interrogated by a stranger at Kroger about his choice of crinkle-cut fries, and the discussion that somehow turns the entire cereal aisle into a spectrum ranging from sexual repression to Fruity Pebbles. You'll also hear Darin seek Mike's expert marriage counseling after Libby wears his good David Letterman hat outside, Mike explain why his wife was absolutely NOT allowed to remove a sticker from his pristine U2 concert program, and Darin's Thanksgiving encounter with a Tennessee state trooper who simply wanted him to “do better.” And then there's “Just put that anywhere”—a stupid little phrase that escaped the podcast, infected their wives and children, and will someday follow Mike and Darin all the way into the nursing home.If you're a longtime listener, these are some of the moments that made Year 6 special. If you're new to Irritable Dad Syndrome, this is probably the worst possible introduction to Mike and Darin.Which makes it the perfect place to start.Episode 321: Just Put That Anywhere — The Best of Volume 6.#IrritableDadSyndrome #ComedyPodcast #FunnyPodcast #BestOf #GreatestHits #DadHumor #Comedy #PodcastComedy #FunnyStories #MarriageHumor #DadLifeSupport the showThank you so much for listening to this episode!  If you like what we do, please check out our other content!

Part 2 of my conversation with Phil Stacey about choosing 10 artists to listen to for the rest of your life if you were stranded on a desert island.  Show notes: Bowie would pivot from one persona to another Phil: The Stones, but leaning heavily on the 1965-1981 period The Stones and the Who have so many compilations out In the Stones vs. Beatles argument, the Stones have the edge as a live band Jay: The Clash are one of the most important bands Not a huge catalog, but there's still plenty there The US Festival was the last gasp for the original lineup Phil: Repping for the Tedeschi Trucks Band Cover a wide range of styles and genres Jay: Another artist with a changing style and persona, PJ Harvey Not afraid to tackle new sounds  Lots of great, interesting stuff to check out Jay: Would enjoy digging further into the Cure's catalog So much to delve into Output has slowed down since the '90s Phil: His one-time favorite band, U2 Early material remains strong Hit or miss the last two decades U2's legacy has diminished because they hung around too long It's tough for legacy acts whose new material will always be compared to their classic stuff You won't hear recent music from legendary bands on the radio The fans want the hits Jay: R.E.M. has a lot of parallels to U2, except they stopped They had a dip in quality for a few albums, but stopped performing in 2011 Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy have done a great job paying tribute to classic R.E.M. albums Reminding people how great the band was They haven't reformed other than a few impromptu songs  Many bands are playing their classic albums front to back Bands like Sloan and Iron Maiden will alternate touring classic albums and new ones Completely Conspicuous is available through Apple Podcasts.

Our lives are full of moments of surrender. What is a moment of surrender and to whom do we turn to find our place of standing when we don't know what to do? The prophet, poet, preacher, and singer Bono of U2 says it's this: The moment of surrender is the moment you choose to lose control of your life, the split second of powerlessness where you trust that some kind of "higher power" better be in charge, because you certainly aren't.

He's one of the biggest rock stars of our time. He's talented, influential, he works tirelessly to help people in need, and he and his band U2 had the audacity to give one of their albums away for free. Out of all the famous icons in the world, Bono has to be one of the worst right? Wait, why's that again? We are joined by Danny's original podcast cohost Bobby Kennedy to dig into the subject.whatdoweknow.co.nzhttps://buymeacoffee.com/whatdoweknowshowFaceBook Page: https://www.facebook.com/whatdoweknowshow/FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/996177092759495Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatdoweknowshow/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Destiny has called us to revisit one of our favorite One Song episodes about the making of an unforgettable jam you've heard at countless weddings, karaoke bars, and sporting events. So open up your eager eyes (and ears)! On this episode of One Song, Diallo and LUXXURY break down The Killers' 2003 hit, “Mr. Brightside.” They discuss where frontman Brandon Flowers drew inspiration to write this song (i.e.: Oasis, U2, and a bout of infidelity), why it's become a catchy millennial anthem, how The Killers became one of the biggest rock bands of the 21st century.

From the heart of "mossy, briny, piss-colored" 1970s Times Square to the heights of MTV News and the A&R suites of Atlantic Records, Tim Sommer has lived a dozen lives in the service of music. Dispatches From the Kingdom of Outsiders is a defiant, soulful map of the ephemeral nation built by the lonely and the weird young people who found their first true home in a Sex Pistols 45 or a picture of David Bowie. Part memoir, part high-octane cultural criticism, this collection documents a vanished era when knowledge was precious currency and a T-shirt was a flare sent up to find fellow survivors. Whether he's trying to get the Clash to sign a picture of the Beatles, sitting in a dorm room with U2 or explaining why "Wooly Bully" is the heaviest song in history, Sommer writes with the infectious "bizarrely certain" passion of the 16-year-old office boy he once was. This is more than a book about rock and roll, it is a celebration of the "Kingdom" where admission is free, and outsiders finally belong.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

What if the way you were taught to share your faith is actually the reason people keep pulling away? In this clip from The Daron Earlewine Podcast, Daron breaks down a model he calls "attack and extract" — find someone who doesn't know Jesus, challenge everything about them, and if they accept, pull them out of their old life into your camp. It sounds bold. It feels righteous. And it is almost never how Jesus operated. Daron walks through why this model does real damage, what nearly happened to U2 early in their career because of it, and what the actual alternative looks like — building a bridge of trust that can handle the weight of truth. This one hits different if you've ever felt like sharing your faith had to be uncomfortable or confrontational to count. KEY TAKAWAYS ⚡️ The "attack and extract" model prioritizes winning an argument over building a relationship — and Jesus consistently chose the opposite approach. ⚡️ U2 nearly quit the band because religious leaders convinced them they had to be extracted out of rock and roll to follow Jesus. What that almost cost the kingdom is worth sitting with. ⚡️ A bridge of trust that can handle the weight of truth is not a soft strategy. It is the strategy — and it requires both courage and genuine relationship.

Rock 'n' roll appeared in the 1950s as the high-energy, electrically amplified music of young dancers and listeners, first in the United States and then around the globe, and from the beginning it symbolized more than music. First popularized as a marketing rubric to sell African-American rhythm and blues to white teenagers, it stood for racial integration, sexual freedom, youthful rebellion, and for change and modernity. It was never a single kind of music, and historians disagree about when it began and which artists or records should be included in its canon--but it was always a flashpoint, whether condemned as an assault on cultural standards or hailed as the most exciting movement of the twentieth century. Rock ‘N' Roll: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford University Press, 2026) explores the complex musical styles and evolutions of the genre and also examines it as product, symbol, and vehicle of societal change. The introduction seamlessly integrates the genre with elements of 1955-1965's mass influence including the rise of television and niche radio formats, the civil rights movement, a new concept of "teenagers" as a unique age group, and a sexual revolution. Rock 'n' Roll traces the rise and trajectories of the styles and musicians grouped as rock 'n' roll and their journey to becoming emblems of much more Elijah Wald is a Grammy winning writer, musician, and historian.

It's a conversational episode with plenty of personality, a little nostalgia, and a lot of U2-adjacent charm.

How Brian Eno expanded the possibilities of what music and sound can be. Eno is a trailblazing musician and producer who's worked on seminal records by U2, David Bowie, the Talking Heads and Coldplay, among others. But Eno isn't just a great collaborator with other artists; he's also a great collaborator with machines. Long before we started worrying about A.I. replacing human creativity, Eno was tinkering with generative systems to pioneer ambient music – a genre that has deeply influenced how we listen to music today. We recorded this conversation in 2025, and it's one of my favorite recent episodes of the show. So I wanted to resurface it this summer for anyone who may have missed it the first time.

Guy Oseary (@guyoseary) has been spotting talent before anyone else could see it for nearly four decades. Under his leadership at Maverick Records, Maverick sold more than 100 million albums. Guy has managed some of the biggest names in music, including Madonna, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and U2, and was named Variety's Music Mogul of the Year in 2022. He executive produced Twilight, which became one of the most successful franchises in movie history, generating more than $3.5B. Guy was also an early investor in Vita Coco and co-founded A-Grade Investments and then Sound Ventures, now with nearly $2 billion under management. At A-Grade, his hits included Airbnb, Uber, and Spotify. Sound Ventures launched with less than $100M and has since had 86 exits and 26 IPOs.This episode is brought to you by:Momentous high-quality creatine for cognitive and muscular support: https://livemomentous.com/TimAG1 all-in-one nutritional supplement: DrinkAG1.com/TimTimestamps[00:00:00] Start.[00:02:01] How a West Hollywood balcony became a backstage pass.[00:03:51] A knife on Pico Boulevard and the snap decision to switch schools.[00:05:54] Faking a Beverly Hills address to get inside another world.[00:08:10] Wise Guy Records: a 15-year-old builds a portfolio out of nothing.[00:10:09] Guy's alternative terms when Bernie Brillstein offered $25,000.[00:11:34] The one moment that confirmed Guy was on the right path.[00:12:29] Freddy DeMann enters the picture and Guy proves himself with Ice-T's crew.[00:15:07] A desk at Maverick Records in exchange for no salary.[00:17:08] Chasing Hole and Rage Against the Machine — and losing both.[00:23:34] Candlebox in five minutes: seeing thousands in a room of 30.[00:24:11] Why "magic" beats everything else.[00:26:37] Signing Alanis off a single song, and stopping Muse mid-audition.[00:31:59] The real Alanis story: "Perfect," Joni Mitchell, and a 30-million-selling debut.[00:35:24] What Madonna taught Guy about thinking without walls.[00:38:50] From bands to Twilight: the power of a blank canvas.[00:45:30] How Guy got into investing, and the IdeaLab bet that wiped him out before the crash.[00:54:31] Why Guy is known as a great curator of people.[00:58:32] The three-month window that caught OpenAI and Anthropic.[01:06:07] AI music and the battle to ensure human musicians get paid.[01:09:30] How Spotify solved the problems Napster couldn't overcome.[01:14:50] SpaceX and Bitcoin: the ones that got away.[01:17:32] The rewards, rigors, and responsibilities of back-to-back touring.[01:21:44] Why Guy never stops to celebrate.[01:24:45] Splitting with Ashton Kutcher after 20 years.[01:27:30] Final thoughts on Guy's first podcast.*For show notes and past guests on The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast.For deals from sponsors of The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast-sponsorsSign up for Tim's email newsletter (5-Bullet Friday) at tim.blog/friday.For transcripts of episodes, go to tim.blog/transcripts.Discover Tim's books: tim.blog/books.Follow Tim:Twitter: twitter.com/tferriss Instagram: instagram.com/timferrissYouTube: youtube.com/timferrissFacebook: facebook.com/timferriss LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/timferrissSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
