Podcasts about Until December

What is Pornhub? Thanks for asking!With over 3 billion visits per month, it’s the 10th most popular website worldwide. Don’t act all innocent; if you have an internet connection, it’s almost certain you have at least heard of PornHub. It’s perhaps the world’s most popular porn site but it has been making headlines for controversial reasons in the last month. Reports have surfaced, accusing PornHub of hosting illegal content, such as videos of non-consensual sex and child abuse.How did PornHub get to be so successful?The site was launched in Montreal in 2007 and has grown explosively ever since, being bought out by MindGeek in 2010. Each year, a combined 6 million videos are uploaded to the platform by pros and amateur members of the PornHub community. In 2019, PornHub recorded over 40 billion visits in a single year. For comparison’s sake, that’s more annual traffic than either Amazon or Netflix. Analytics site Similarweb estimates the average time on site at 8 minutes and 53 seconds.It sounds like everything is going swimmingly at PornHub then! Until December 4th 2020...

In this podcast I welcome back Marcus Young from Boot Coffee. This is an episode where we discuss the most common questions we get from our consulting clients. No, you do not have to pay a dime for this, but a review on Apple Podcasts is welcome.  Thanks. We start the podcast with a discussion about designing a roast profile. Is there such a thing as a correct approach? How many roast profiles should a roasting company have?  Then I put a gun to Marcus's (and my head) and force us to come up with only one roast profile for a new startup. How would it look and why? Only one way to find out: click that Play button. When starting a coffee roasting business, you most likely will have a limited budget and will have to compromise on the quantity of green coffee you can purchase. Each of us came up with three types of coffees we would want to launch with. Spoiler alert: one of them is a decaf. What? Yes, decaf. Why? Find out in this episode of the podcast. Should a coffee roasting startup buy their coffee through direct trade or use an importer? If you go with an importer, Marcus (a former green coffee trader himself) will give you a few tips on how to develop relationships with importers.  Finally, in this episode we revisit the ideal size of a coffee roaster. Finally we agreed on something with Marcus! :) We hope you will have as much fun listening to this podcast as we had recording it.  We have officially launched Black Friday deals, hence this is the Black Friday edition. Until December 1st, 2020 you can enjoy one of these deals. Use coupon code: coffeeisme

Intro: Welcome to Family Lawyer Magazine’s podcast. This episode is on Top Tips for Negotiating Divorce Settlement Agreements.  Your host of this episode is Dan Couvrette, the publisher of Family Lawyer Magazine and Divorce Magazine. His two guests are Sharon Klein and Mark Bank. Sharon Klein is president of Family Wealth, Eastern U.S. Region for Wilmington Trust. She coordinates the delivery of all wealth management services by teams of professionals and heads Wilmington's National Matrimonial Advisory Solutions Practice. Beginning her career as a trust and estates attorney, she is a fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel and chair of the Domestic Relations Committee of the Trust and Estates Magazine where she sits on the board. Mark Bank is a founding partner of the law firm Bank Rifkin in Michigan, and focuses on complex divorce cases in Michigan and nationwide. He is a diplomat of the American College of Family Trial Lawyers and a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. Here’s the podcast. We hope you enjoy it. Dan: Sharon, what services do you offer and how do you work with family lawyers? Sharon: Wilmington Trust provides the full spectrum of wealth management services and through the matrimonial advisory practice group that I lead, we work with family law attorneys like Mark to provide a comprehensive suite of services for clients who have recently been divorced or in the process of getting divorced. And that could be everything from investing the settlement proceeds to acting as a neutral, impartial trustee to reviewing business valuations, to reviewing insurance, to providing family office services and also private banking services. And in particular, in the pre-divorce context, we have very sophisticated proprietary analytical tools where we can run comprehensive financial projections that take into account all assets. That could include private assets like a business as well as showing detailed cash flows, which take into account tax impact and also changes on the investment horizon. So, we could stress test the portfolio depending on what's happening in the investment landscape. And that typically gives attorneys wonderful information to take to the negotiating table in order to best position themselves and their clients at that table. And then post-divorce, we could use those same analytical tools to craft an investment strategy that's designed to ensure that a portfolio will sustain a certain lifestyle Dan: And Mark, what is the focus of your family law practice? Mark: My firm handles complex divorce cases, not only in Michigan but nationwide. The complexities that we handle, they're really two-fold. One focus would be on the financial end, and the complexities might involve business valuation, differentiating income from cash flow, understanding the tax consequences of a certain transaction, or understanding certain parts of an executive compensation package. The other part of the complexity would involve children and working out custody arrangements, parenting time arrangements with the understanding that there's no one size fits all when it comes to divorce. Dan: That's great. So Mark, how would you work together and when would you recommend this approach of collaboration? Mark: I think when it comes to divorce lawyers, in working with financial advisors, one of the most underutilized synergies in my particular industry, there are really two different aspects that would come up with this. The first would be while the case is going on. As a divorce lawyer, what I'm looking at is building a statement of net worth, understanding the cash flow for the client, and understanding that client's expenses. And working with someone in Sharon's industry, that person would be able to help me understand what passive income can be generated from the assets in this particular estate. And then also working with her and the client to understand what are the client's expenses going forward, what budgeting we need to do as part of the case so that at the end of the case, the income meets the expenses, and not only looking at it for a particular year but trying to take it out for the rest of the client's life if possible and making sure that the client's financial needs are satisfied long term. Dan: Sharon, can you describe how Wilmington Trust approaches the analytical analysis that Mark has referred to? Sharon: Well, I think Mark’s given a great summary of how colleagues could work together to best support clients. And I think that any analysis has to be grounded in realistic expectations. Typically in the divorce arena, it's very important that a pool of assets generates a specific level of income and that level of income can sustain a lifestyle for a period of time or the client's life. And that leads to the question: how is it possible to sustain a portfolio given a particular set of cash inflows, which can be alimony, can be child support, can be a salary, and other particulars like living expenses, taxes, educational expenses. So, the analytical tools that I've been describing, they project the cash flow on a year by year basis as my access. Or you could plan out way into the future and have a year by year breakdown of what to expect. And as I mentioned, this typically provides an attorney negotiating a divorce settlement agreement with wonderful information to leverage to best advantage for their client. Dan: So that sounds very necessary and very thorough to me. Sharon: Absolutely. Because at the end of the day, it's all about the data. It's all about making a case for what your client needs, and if you could show the data, which is sophisticated data, not an Excel spreadsheet, but data that is impacted by different market environments and by different needs and expectations of clients, you could really have a dynamic presentation that adds a lot of value to those discussions. Dan: So Mark, can you describe to me what the second part is? Mark: Well, the first part I mentioned was working with someone in Sharon's industry while the case is going on to plan for the future. But the biggest mistake people in my industry make is at the end of the case is they just hand the client a check and say, have a nice life. And that's not where it should end. That should be the halfway point. We put together a plan and now we need to make sure that there's somebody out there who can implement it. So, it's important to take that plan and sit down with someone in the financial services industry and say, how do we make this plan come to life? And that takes the transition from the divorce lawyer to the financial service industry and making sure that the cash flow that I was projecting is there for the client, they understand the budgeting, and that there's somebody there in the long term to implement the plan and look over the plan and make sure the client's taken care of. And this is something that a lot of divorce lawyers, in my opinion, don't think about. And they just get to the end of the case and say to the client, here's your money and have a nice life, and it really can't be that way. I personally think that's irresponsible and really the best practice would be to work with someone in Sharon's industry while the case is going on to do the planning and then at the end of the case to implement the plan. Sharon: Right. And I've actually seen Mark in action in that regard. So, it's not just advice that he's giving that he doesn't fully embrace. And it was wonderful to see Mark in action taking the client through the whole phase of pre-divorced, divorced, and afterward to show that he really cared about her and helped her move on with it. So, I'm a big proponent of Mark's advice and, as I say, I've seen him in practice, and it worked out really well for him and his client. Dan: It sounds like it's a way to do it. Mark: Well, in most instances, you're working with someone who has no experience in managing their finances, managing their money, doing their financial plan. And not only don't they have that experience but when they're coming to see me, they're scared to death about what their future's going to look like. So it's my job to be able to say there is a future after divorce and to be able to take the resources that they bring to the table, whether in terms of their net worth or in terms of their cash flow and be able to have it make sense to them and be able to show them what it's going to look like going forward. So, you can see somebody take a deep breath. When you start doing that, they come into your office and they're just scared of what's going to come. And to the extent that you can put together this plan or talk to them about how you're going to put together the plan, you can see somewhere to go. And they know there's somebody out there that understands what their problems are and then how to solve them. Sharon: And let me just add on to that because I totally agree with you. And oftentimes in my seat, I see people come to me and they've not been handling the financial side of a marriage. A spouse has been handling that, so they feel overwhelmed, they feel alone, they feel like they're not able to handle it. So, you have to take the time to educate people and to describe the process against the backdrop of what they're going through, and you have to be sensitive to where they are in their lives. But oftentimes when you do that, you actually see a transformation into a poised self-confident person who, although they're going through a very sad phase in their lives, they're actually glad that they had a chance to show that they can do it, that they've proven it to themselves. And it's very rewarding to see that transformation for someone who, even though they're going through a very sad time, was able to view the future with some optimism. Mark: But to be able to do this right, this synergy between the two industries is most important. There are divorce lawyers out there who just get started, but they don't understand anything about finance, so they can't say anything intelligent to the client to take the edge off. On the other hand, there are financial planners out there. Clients say, tell me what I need for the future. And they start putting together a financial plan without talking to the divorce lawyer and have any clue what the assets are, what the income is, and what the expenses are. And this really needs to be done together to put together the best long term plan for the client. Sharon: So, collaboration is the key. Well, just really to add on to Mark's comment, which is in sort of phase two post-divorce, there is so much that needs to be done in order to help clients move on with the rest of their lives. So, for example, all of their estate planning documents need to be reviewed because typically they all need to be updated to reflect new beneficiaries. Insurance needs to be reviewed, and oftentimes, as I was mentioning, one spouse hasn't been involved with the financial side of the marriage, and they may not even be used to writing checks. So, oftentimes we find that clients really want family office services. They want bill pay, they want advice about taxes and tax preparation. So, we help bring it all together so that they feel comfortable and so that they have all the advice they need to move on to the next chapter. This is critical. Dan: Sounds essential to me as well. Sharon, let's talk about trusts for a minute. Do you have any tips for dealing with a trust created during the marriage when negotiating a divorce settlement agreement? Sharon: Yes, absolutely, and there has actually very recently been a very significant change in the law regarding the taxation of trust income after divorce. Individuals can create trusts and transfer assets to those trusts, and those assets will be out of their estates for estate tax purposes if structured properly, but they can continue to own the trust for income tax purposes. And that's a so-called grantor trust. And you might ask, why would anybody want to give away assets and remain on the hook? And the answer is that's perfect estate planning because the individual who creates the trust pays the tax liability of the trust and relieves the beneficiaries of the trust from that tax burden. So, in essence, the trust is allowed to grow tax-free, and of all the estate planning techniques that we have in our arsenal, tax-free growth is the best of them all. And in actuality, the grantor or the creator of the trust is making a gift to the beneficiaries of the trust in paying those taxes. But the IRS does not consider it a gift. And that's why I say it's perfect estate planning. Now, the way it impacts the matrimonial situation is if spouses created a trust while they're married, one spouse creates a trust and the other spouse can potentially receive income from that trust. By its nature, that will be a grantor trust. The problem becomes when the spouses get divorced because grantor trust status is determined at the time the trust is created and it doesn't take into account the fact that parties get divorced. So, if parties get divorced and grantor trust status remains, it means that the person who created the trust will continue to be liable to pay the taxes on distributions received by a beloved ex-spouse forever. And that's a horrendous result, and obviously not a result that the creator of the trust would have anticipated. Until December of 2018, there was a section of the Internal Revenue Code, Section 682, which saved the day. And section 682 said in that scenario, if people get divorced and a distribution is made to an ex-spouse, the ex-spouse picks up that distribution in her income and it is not attributable to the creator of the trust. Unfortunately, as I said, the protection of that section has ended, so if people get divorced beginning in 2019, every trust that was created during the course of the marriage needs to be looked at by the matrimonial attorney to see what are the tax consequences of that trust. And note that the triggering date is divorce beginning in 2019. It applies to a trust created at any time during the course of the marriage. So, a trust could be five years old, 10 years old, and you could have this terrible tax result. So, it's something, and this is a great place for matrimonial attorneys and estate planning attorneys and investment advisors to collaborate because there are some potential fixes to this situation. But you really need collaboration across disciplines. One thing that's possible, and you have to be very mindful not to trigger adverse tax consequences, is terminating the trust on divorce and equalizing with other assets or perhaps modifying the trust and again, equalizing with other assets. Or perhaps including a reimbursement provision in a settlement agreement that reimburses the creator of the trust for the ongoing tax liability attributable to distributions to the ex-spouse. The point is though that if matrimonial attorneys and family lawyers finish the divorce and then say, we'll send you to your trust and estates and investment advisors to redo your planning, the opportunity to fix that skewed tax result will have been lost. This is something that needs to be addressed during the course of the negotiations, during the course of the divorce proceeding. Dan: So I know Mark wouldn't make that mistake. Mark: You're exactly right in the comment that you made. I'm working more and more with trust lawyers every day while these cases are going on, part of my job is to look at the assets of the parties and decide what's a marital asset, what's not a marital asset, but separate from what are the assets of the parties. There may be something that somebody says, that's not one of our assets anymore because it's an irrevocable trust. And something that's an irrevocable trust in most States is outside of the marital estate, and it's not divisible by the court incident to a divorce. So, one of the things we're looking at is if there are millions of dollars in the trust that may be outside of the estate, was there any element of control that was retained by either of the parties that may bring that asset back within the marital estate? And frankly, I was working on a case not too long ago, and I happened to read Sharon's article on the change in the tax law, and that triggered something and I said, wait a second, the spouse having to pay the tax and perpetuity going forward, that's an element of control that we need to look at. And I don't know yet whether we'll be successful in bringing that into the marital estate, but the idea wouldn't have been there without working with Sharon on that particular issue. And because of that, I've been working more and more with trust lawyers every day. Dan: That makes sense. Mark, do you have any other tips for practitioners when negotiating divorce settlement agreements? Mark: Well, I could go on and on with that for days and talk about finances in particular provisions to include in the settlement agreement pricing. I think the single most important thing is managing expectations. And that's what lawyers don't do a good job of is telling clients what they need to know rather than what they want to hear. So often clients come into your office and say, I want this, I want that. And too often lawyers out there are saying, sure, no problem. I can get that for you. Rather than sitting back and managing the expectation from the beginning and say “let's talk about what's real and let's talk about what you really need to know”. Because when the client, when the lawyers don't manage the expectations, it gets a bad result for the client. Even if it looks good on paper, the client's not going to appreciate it in relation to what otherwise would have been achieved. And the way I'm always looking at this, the analogy I use is going to the optometrist's office. You walk into the office, and you think you see things clearly, and suddenly they start dropping these different lenses in front of you and they put one lens in and it looks a little different. They put another lens in, and it looks a little different and they put in the final lens, and suddenly you're seeing a whole different picture. And when a client comes into the divorce lawyer’s office, it's the lawyer's job to say, this is what the law is in your state. This is what this judge in your case might likely do. In this particular case, this is what's happened. In other cases, this is what happens with this particular lawyer on the other side of the case, and it really changes what the client's expectations may be at the end. And to the extent that a lawyer can manage those expectations from the beginning and paint a real result for the client, they're going to more satisfied clients at the end of the day. Sharon: I couldn't agree more. And actually, I think this sort of plays back to the analytics and the importance of having data to put things in context and running different scenarios. So, when you're running cash flow projections, you have to show a client several different scenarios to show what's possible. And the expectations have to be grounded in reality. Cash flow projections might have to take into account the cost of living adjustments, may be an expense that's going to be incurred somewhere down the line that you want to take into consideration there and then. You've got to make some assumptions about what the market is going to deliver. Some assets like retirement assets can grow. You also have to build in actuarial assumptions about taking required minimum distributions from certain assets once you reach the appropriate age. So, there's a lot of different moving parts, but I think if you show people the data in different scenarios and what they might expect, I think those lenses become a little bit clearer. Mark: And this goes back to what I was talking about at the beginning. A lot of times people come to me and they've already met with a financial planner who's put something together with just no clue about what the reality is. And the client comes in and says, well, you know, based on this, I need $400,000 a month and $20 million in my bank account to start. I'm like, that's nice, but you don't have that kind of money. And to the extent that a lawyer's working with the financial advisor or the financial advisor, if that's where the client goes first, brings in the lawyer, and they can work together. They can really manage those expectations from the beginning to create a satisfactory result where the client at the end of the day is proud of what their team accomplished. Dan: It certainly is abundantly clear to me that you combine knowledge of the law with passion and compassion for your client and that you're truly looking out for their best interests. And so, I think that's also why you think that you should bring professionals in throughout the process that can help, and not just try and handle it all on your own. You recognize it. You can use a professional like Sharon and need a professional like Sharon to truly do a great job for your clients. Is there anything else that you want to add to this conversation that we've missed? Mark: I would just add this final thought. I was talking about how at the end of the divorce case, that's only halfway through the process and it's important then to work with a financial advisor to implement the plan, but that's not necessarily the end of the divorce lawyer’s role. And I think it's important that there be annual follow up meetings with the entire team to say is the plan working? Do we need to make any changes to the plan? In some cases, we go back to the court and we can modify child support. We can modify spousal support in order to get more money if need be in order to make the plan work. And sometimes there needs to be changes made to the estate plan and to the extent the whole team can get together on an annual basis. It serves the client's best interest, I think in the long term. Sharon: I couldn't agree more. I think it's so important for the whole team to get together periodically to review where the client is because a plan is dynamic. It has to change with family circumstances, with the investment landscape, with other things that are individual to each particular client and getting together with a team of professionals, each of which is a specialist in his or her own area of expertise really means that you're bringing all the information necessary to best serve the client together. And oftentimes it's a matrimonial lawyer, it's a trusts & estates lawyer, it's the investment professional, it could be an accounting professional, but I think everybody needs to be on the same side of the page in order to coordinate all those different moving pieces for our clients. Dan: Well, you certainly have proven that to me here today. And, Sharon, I can't imagine anybody that would do a better job than you would in taking care of a client and their financial concerns. You lost me in many parts of the conversation, and I'm not disappointed with that actually. I like to work with professionals who know more than I do. And you certainly fit into that category. Well, both of you do. So, thank you so much for your time today. It's been a pleasure. Outro: This concludes today’s podcast.

He would guide tourists through the city, telling stories of Phoenician ruins, French architecture and Ottoman houses. He’d also talk about Lebanon’s civil war, and the political unrest that came to follow it. But these were stories about other people, other eras and other lives.

Today's Guest: Captain Kangaroo, a.k.a., Bob Keeshan, long-time CBS morning host for children's television   (EDITOR'S NOTE -- Today, June 27, 2016, would have been the 89th birthday of the great CBS-TV children's TV host, Bob Keeshan, better known to the Baby Boomer generation as "Captain Kangaroo." Keeshan passed away in 2004, and I've spent years trying to recover the telephone interview I did with him as a St. Petersburg Times correspondent, published September 19, 1984. I'm pleased to say I finally found it and upgraded the audio quality. You can now read the interview as published or, for the first time ever, listen to our actual conversation. I hope you'll enjoy this classic edition of Mr. Media and share it with your friends and family. -- Bob Andelman) When it comes to children's television, Captain Kangaroo is a man who knows what he's talking about. And what the soft-spoken Captain is discussing these days is the scarcity of quality network programing provided for kids. Captain Kangaroo, a.k.a. Bob Keeshan, will address the subject at a free lecture at the University of South Florida's Cooper Hall auditorium, CPR 103 (College of Arts and Letters, Tampa campus), on Thursday at 8 p.m. He was last here in 1976, taping segments of the program at Busch Gardens. His appearance corresponds to the end of the Captain's nearly 30 years on CBS. The end has been in sight for some time. In January 1982, some CBS affiliates such as Tampa's WTVT-Ch. 13 dropped the weekday morning Captain Kangaroo Show (it was picked up briefly by WFTS Ch. 28). Later that year, CBS Morning News was lengthened and for the first time the Captain could only be seen on Saturday and Sunday mornings. For a short time even the name and format of his show was changed, to the fast-paced Wake Up. UNTIL December, the Captain Kangaroo Show continues on weekend mornings, al­ though it has been unavailable in Tampa Bay for some time. After the first of the year, the future of the Captain, Mr. Greenjeans, Mr. Moose and Grandfather Clock is uncertain. BOB KEESHAN podcast excerpt: "I feel very strongly that I'm able to take that role as advocate and let people know how strongly I feel that society needs to do a better job nurturing people.." You can LISTEN to this 1984 interview with BOB KEESHAN, host of CAPTAIN KANGAROO, by clicking the audio player above! "We are searching for a time period on public television, where we hope we will be on Monday to Friday and reach the audience that the program has been designed and produced for over the many years. I think there's a very strong chance," Keeshan said in a recent telephone interview from his New York office. The people involved in making decisions at CBS have displeased Keeshan but he says they are doing "what they have to do. If the FCC didn't tell them they were free to do what they wanted to do, they would make other decisions. But with that unshackling of responsibility, the stockholders have got to get their due, as much money as they possibly can. That's the bottom line. "I might have some strong feelings about the FCC and their doctrinaire feelings about letting the marketplace function and take care of children. God knows the marketplace certainly will take care of children but not the way we expect it to," he adds. "WE'VE BEEN talking to PBS, and they have nothing but enthusiasm for the project. The key factor really is the finding of underwriting for it. Public television is not a very wealthy system. They have a great deal of difficulty financing their operations, especially since (President
 Reagan) has seen fit to veto the latest
appropriation for public television.
They're in difficult straits, so we have
to find corporate underwriting.
We're seeking a far-sighted company
that feels strongly about the future of
the nation to the extent that (the
way) we nurture children through
television is important...

If you've enjoyed my previous in-between episodes , then this might be your favorite episode ever. It's one of the most actionable, information-packed interviews I've ever done. This time, it's Joel Stein (@TheJoelStein) asking the questions. Joel is one of the funniest writers I have ever read, and he's great at leading an interview. Here's how it all happened: Joel wanted me to help him figure out 5 areas he could improve for an upcoming series he was going to create. I have many different conversations with journalists. It can be painful when I have a 1-2 hour conversation, and then it's cut to a single sentence as a quote in a piece. And it's often a misquote. So how do you fix that? Well, you record it yourself, which is what we did. (With Joel's approval, of course.) This way, you don't "lose" the content, and you cover your ass with media and journalists. In this episode, we discuss a wide variety of topics, including: How I choose what to improve from infinite options How you can subtract your way to success The genius of Ben Franklin Why self-improvement doesn't mean self-centered How I say no to time-consuming lunches, coffees, and other meetings How I tackle cold introductions How I surmounted Lyme Disease My 100% complete break from start-ups (read this for more) My podcast process Tools and tactics for reversing email overwhelm Enjoy!

On this seventh episode and SEASON 1 FINALE of Learnt, I sat down in Gibbons Hall with Carol Rabin and Linda Roggero of Notre Dame of Maryland University's GEI Program! We discuss their history of teaching inside and outside of Baltimore City and Baltimore County, the drive to participate in special education even when the chips are down, and the didactic problems with season 4 of "The Wire!" We also delve into the process of starting and maintaining a rigorous teacher preparation program at a university, what it's like to have a second career, and then I blabber profusely about how these two great women shaped my life to this point. Music for this episode was provided by JAUNTER off of his debut album SELF-INFLICTED SOLITUDE! The track is called "Dreamscape," and you can download at jaunter.bandcamp.com! You can reach me at facebook.com/learnpodcast, twitter.com/learntpod, or learntpodcast@gmail.com.

Until December, keep learnin', ya'll!

Until December 1918 Klee is in wartime service in Gersthofen and is not released until February 1919. During the last three war years Klee experiences a productive work phase, which stands in crass antithesis to the circumstances all around. The numerous aquarelle paintings from this time are dominated by radiant colours, which are not yet subordinate to a strict colour order. Rather they stem from sensitivity and expression.

This briefing focuses on what is considered the memory of the dark, unmanageable past in Polish-Jewish relations of the Second World War. It provides an overview of the main Polish representations of the dark past between 1945 and the 1990s, and discusses the most recent developments that have taken place in the post-Jedwabne Poland. Joanna Beata Michlic is Director of the Project on Families, Children and the Holocaust at HBI (Hadassah-Brandeis Institute), Brandeis University. Until December 2008 she was Associate Professor of History and Chair of the Holocaust and Ethical Values at Lehigh University, Bethlehem Pennsylvania.

Just realized I forgot to do my notes and random things for this podcast, which was already over a month ago! Jeez. Well, it's on the way, plus a new podcast once I find time to record. New job, new family member, new year and a cross-country move on the horizon are taking up all my time at the moment. Did you notice all the "newness" in that last sentence? Yet here I am dishing out what Bryan Ferry would call "The Same Old Scene" when it comes to reasons why I can't seem to get podcasts up in a reasonable amount of time anymore. Or, like ABC's Martin Frye crooned, "Excuses have their uses, but they're all used up." Seriously, though, I can't recall being any busier in my entire life and I beg your indulgence with my slow updates of late. Update as of (02-04-12): Let's look at a few of the bands in this particular episode (finally, right!?) I want to start with League of Gentlemen. Funny I want to start with a band I know almost nothing about, but it's really the concept of this song that intrigues me so much. Back in the 80s, there were a lot of industrial-sounding bands that were fascinated with the synthesis between man and machine and what it might entail for the survival of the human race. Mysterious Art, for instance, if you recall from an eariler episode, touched on the theme with Men of Glass. There were plenty of others. This excellent number from 1987 does the same. On a side note, I have always been fascinated how Eastern Bloc industrial artists could always seem to write cool songs even though they barely knew English. Somehow they take sentence fragments and comma splices, add the letter "z" wherever there is supposed to be an "s", pluralize words like "informationz" and still manage to give me chills. That's talent! Of course, this band only had enough talent to do one song because I haven't, to date, found anything else by these guys ... at least in this incarnation. As we have learned with producers like Morton, Sherman and Belucci they can "seed" an entire genre by doing hundreds of one-off bands to create a scene as those guys did with the Belgian New Beat dance scene years ago. So, maybe the guys in LOG reformed under another moniker. I'll have to look into it sometime. But there's more to this "Humatic" phenomenon than meets the eye. As with other electronic groups who explored man's servitude to the rise of machines there is an inherent lack of logic there that makes me chuckle. I've played it out for you below, though names have been changed to protect the innocent. (Note: this is a completely fictional account) Klaus: Hi, Gert. Gert: Howdy, Klaus. Klaus: Say, Gert, how would you like to be in a band with me? Gert: Sounds great, Klaus. But is this another one of your band concepts that requires I wear lederhosen on stage while dumping a stein full of Krautspatzle over my head? Klaus: No, Gert. This one is much better. I want to explore the relationship between man and machine and how eventually, due to elementary chaos theory, all machines will morph and rise up against their masters and enslave them, breed with them and create a hybrid race of automatons that will exterminate all humanity. Gert: Count me in! Klaus: Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go get the drum machines, sequencing keyboards, electronic samplers and Commodore computers that we'll be using.  Gert: Sounds great, Klaus. I can't see anything that can go wrong with this utterly ironic plan of yours. By the way, do you have a band name yet? Klaus: I sure do, Gert. I wanted something memorable and easy to recall, so it's come down to either Braunschweiger Umweltverschmutzung or League of Gentlemen. Gert: Rad.   Update as of (02-17-12): I don't have anymore fantastic re-enactments for the next band in the arsenal. In fact, like League of Gentlemen, I have little to no information at all about Joe Machine either, though I think I came across his social networking page on MySpace ... or at least some guy who goes by the name Joe Machine. Anyway, we have ZYX records in Germany to thank for this release and divinity to thank for the voice that is eerily reminiscent of Daniel Ash from Bauhaus/Tones on Tail/Love and Rockets fame. As is the case so often with electronic music of this era, "Kraftwerk creep" rears its head a couple of times in this episode. Seeing as how they are one of the most influential collectives in electronic music history it's not surprising that so many others to follow were touched by their genius. From tempo to timbre to replicating the "Musique non-stop" mantra found in the Kraftwerk tune of the same name from the Electric Cafe album, Psyche's X-rated is a delectable morsel of synthetic cyber-porn sleaze that captures the Kraftwerk-ian spirit perfectly and garners this episode an "explicit" tag in the process. Sebastian Komor of Icon of Coil remixed the track. Then, there is the awesome, sub-splitting frequencies of the track Komputer Pop by the band Komputer. If you recall, I mentioned this band when discussing the group I Start Counting several episodes ago as they, Fortran 5 and Komputer are all brain children of David Baker and Simon Leonard. If you haven't done so and you are a Kraftwerk fan, I highly recommend Komputer's first album called World of Tomorrow. It's a fantastic concept album and is about as close to replicating the Kraftwerk sound as you're going to find. There are a bunch of great tracks to boot. And in case you missed it, Baker and Leonard recently released a compilation of tracks spanning all three iterations of their long-time collaboration. Called Konnecting, it contains 15 tracks. For die-hards, they also released a companion 60-track digital deluxe set of b-sides and rarities with tons of remixes. If you have never owned anything by these guys, the new set is a fantastic place to begin and perhaps end if you're not a completist when it comes to music collecting. More to come ...

Chosen Time - New Order Special Note from DJ Tintin: While originally recorded in 2011, I re-recorded this May 28, 2017 to correct a few of the recording glitches from the original post. Since the original post, I also found a remix version of "Heaven Is Waiting" by Danse Society, which I have substituted for the album version.  Notes and other random things: Every so often, I go real old school with the old school. The multiplier makes this podcast feeble decrepit school in some ways. Everything you hear in this one is roughly 1981-1985, the exceptions being Underneath the Radar by Underworld and club/radio mainstay Just Like Heaven by The Cure. This episode begins with Duran Duran's Rio, the lead-off track for their album of the same name. The particular version here, the Carnival Version, is very similar to the original, though it contains a few more measures of instrumentation for a nice change of pace to the familiar one any retro lovers will know by heart. Stephen "Tin Tin" Duffy, known for his catchy 80s tune Kiss Me and for his band The Lilac Time, was the original vocalist for the band, though he left after a year figuring they would go nowhere. Simon Le Bon eventually became the frontman and the highly recognizable face of the group, though it's keyboardist Nick Rhodes with his flair for production and keyboard wizardry that really helped define the group's sound. An avid fine artist, he was acutely aware early on of the power that music videos could have on album sales, as any boy on the verge of his teens will recall from the early days of MTV. Though most guys at that age were taunted and teased mercilessly for listening to such flamboyant music, Duran Duran were an early guilty pleasure that found their way into my regular music rotation when I wasn't hanging out with the rabble-rousers. Speaking of Mr. Rhodes, there is a larger connection between Duran Duran and Kajagoogoo, the second band appearing in this episode, than just the beat matching. It was Nick who discovered them and persuaded them to sign with EMI records despite a bidding war among three other record labels. He also helped produce their first album, White Feathers, along with Duran Duran producer Colin Thurston (who has made several appearances here on CRC doing work for Talk Talk and others). That album contained the title track heard here. An interesting side note: Nick also produced Kajagoogoo's biggest hit, Too Shy, which went on to top the charts in 1983. The kicker is that Duran Duran wouldn't have their own number one until later to the chagrin of Nick. I'm certain there are no sour grapes as Duran Duran went on to have a much longer career when all was said and done. Over the past two episodes, the summer edition and this week's new wave edition, you may have seen and heard your fill of Modern English for a while. Both Face of Wood and now the heartbreakingly overplayed I Melt With You come from the band's second album called After the Snow. If I may say so, it is one of my all-time favorite albums. Vocalist Robbie Grey, Gary McDowell, Michael Conroy, Richard Brown, and Stephen Walker put together a sound that resonates with me more than any other: guitars, percussion, excellent vocal timbre and just the right level of keyboard accoutrements. I'm pretty sure that is the reason I fell in love with New Order and mid-80s The Cure as well. Produced by Hugh Jones, who did a lot of work with Echo and the Bunnymen, and released in 1983, After the Snow has great melodies, lovely arrangements and every song hits the sweet spot. And though I Melt With You was re-recorded and re-issued in '90, used in a Burger King ad, a Hershey ad, a Ritz ad, a Taco Bell ad and in cover form by Nouvelle Vague for automaker GMC, and overplayed on 80s flashback radio shows everywhere, if you can somehow transport yourself back in time and try to remember how you felt when you first heard it, you'll recall just how amazing this song still is. A little Modern English trivia: The band formed in Colchester, Essex in 1977 and were originally called The Lepers. Thankfully that didn't stick. Heaven is Waiting from Danse Society represents the pinnacle of the band's early output. Kind of like B-Movie, they suffered from poor timing, ill-conceived decisions from label management and never really were able to capitalize on momentum. While recording the material for the Heaven is Waiting album, the guys sought to work with Ian Broudie, who produced for Echo and the Bunnymen, had his own band Care and later went on to form The Lightning Seeds. Anyway, Ian had other projects in the works and the band instead teamed up with Nigel Gray, who had worked with the Police and Siouxsie and the Banshees. It should have been a good fit, but Gray apparently had a rigid schedule consisting of 10am -5pm sessions. The problem was that even if a session was going well, he would call it a day at 5pm. The result was an album that, according to keyboardist Lyndon Scarfe, "was dull, lifeless, uninspired, and depressed the shit out of us." While the guys did eventually hook up with Brodie to retool the tracks, their Arista label decided to release the Stones cover 2000 Light Years from Home as their third single, something the band fought adamantly to prevent. Despite a video and a huge promotional push, the single failed to chart and it thus began their ultimate demise. Shame, really.  As founder of 415 Records, Howie Klein brought bands like Wire Train, Translator, Until December and Red Rockers to the fore. He later went on to become the President of Reprise Records from 1989 until 2001. In this episode, you'll hear one of the ultimate sexual equivocations from the 80s in the track Never Say Never by Romeo Void, another one of Klein's finds. Lead singer Deborah Iyall is Native American and if anyone could look less like how she sounds, Deborah would certainly qualify with her half-spoken, half-sung style. Though Romeo Void disbanded in 1985, she did a couple of solo albums and, having teamed up with songwriter Peter Dunne, is still performing live today, though they haven't quite generated the buzz that she and her band did in 1982 with this tune. That's all for this episode. As always, if you like any of the music you hear, please support the artists. Oh, and in case you were wondering, the image above is from artist Patrick Nagel. His iconic work appeared on the cover of the Rio album by Duran Duran, though an alternate image was used on the 2001 limited edition remastered version. Nagel died in 1984 at the young age of 38. He was found dead in his car after suffering an apparent heart attack. Ironically, he had earlier participated in a 15-minute celebrity Aerobathon to support the American Heart Association.  So, on that happy note ... but I'll be back again soon with another episode, so there's that! Thanks again to everyone for your continued support.
