POPULARITY
A sold-out arena, a humanitarian crisis, a reluctant Bob Dylan, and a rock star who decides the world can't wait. We kick off with George Harrison's August 1, 1971 Concert for Bangladesh at Madison Square Garden and dig into why it matters beyond the legend: the scale, the lineup, the nerves, and the performances that still hit hard decades later. From Ravi Shankar's role in sparking the idea to Harrison stepping back into the spotlight after years away, we trace how a friendship turns into one of the most important moments in benefit concert history.From there we time-travel 10 yearslater to August 1, 1981 and the launch of MTV Music Television, from “Video Killed the Radio Star” to the early rotation that helped shape the second British invasion. We keep the nostalgia going with a quick love letter to R.E.M.'s Life's Rich Pageant, a “Jessie's Girl” origin story, and fresh concert memories that compare a chill John Mellencamp crowd with the roar of Rush returning to Madison Square Garden.

" Ladies and gentlemen, Rock and Roll. » Le 1er août 1981. MTV lance son premier programme avec une chanson mythique : Video Killed the Radio Star. Le succès est fulgurant. MTV s'impose auprès des jeunes et dicte ses lois à l'industrie musicale. Elle ne se contente pas de diffuser la musique : elle crée des stars, lance MTV Unplugged, et s'ouvre aux téléréalités et aux émissions de divertissement. Une chaîne qui aura marqué toute une génération. Un héritage immense, balayé par l'arrivée de YouTube et des nouvelles plateformes.
It's not QUITE the 40th anniversary of The Lost Boys (39 years today), and just past the 40th anniversary of Highlander, but it's close enough. And there are other reasons to redo this one today - with its thoughts on immortality, legacy, good times and fellowship - so, doing that. "Never let a night like tonight go to waste." ==================================================== Considering whether Gen X views of life, death, and immortality were shaped by two mid-80s films: Highlander (1986) and The Lost Boys (1987) Yes yes yes, I said Steward Copeland at about 9:12 and realized just moments ago that I completely meant Douglas Coupland, who wrote Generation X: Tales For an Accelerated Culture in 1991 https://www.coupland.com/books/generation-x-tales-for-an-accelerated-culture And my point there is that in 1987 the Lost Boys was certainly depicting Gen X characters with Gen X actors, but nobody called them Gen X at the time. Interview with the Vampire was published in 1976 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interview_with_the_Vampire Its sequel, The Vampire Lestat, was 1985 The Mystery of Dracula's Castle - a scooby doo mystery in all but name, with inspiration from Christopher Lee's Dracula over and over. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068985/ The Hunger https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085701/ The Lost Boys - straight to the tagline https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093437/taglines Highlander https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091203/ Cocoon https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088933/ Siskel and Ebert - Lost Boys starts at 9:44 - https://siskelebert.org/?p=2948 Highlander is the first one here, about 1:30 - they both disliked it rather a lot https://siskelebert.org/?p=1496 First chapter of The Golden Bough - Frazer calls the King a "murderer" rather than a "killer" so I'll randomly note that A) in the 1536 battler in Highlander, the Macleods are fighting the Frasers and B) "Matador" is literally "killer" in Spanish The Spirit of Christmas, which spawned South Park, references Highlander's repeated line "There Can Be Only One" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0122264/ When talking about Reactives and the Awakening, probably worth looking at this previous entry on my blog https://crisis.generationalize.com/2014/01/reactiveness.html Unrelated but it's a photo series called Lost Boys - millennials back at home after college or high school or whatever they decided they could do. https://www.businessinsider.com/liz-calvi-lost-boys-photo-project-2014-9#calvi-started-with-her-good-group-of-guy-friends-but-eventually-branched-out-to-look-for-more-subjects-in-town-nolan-pictured-here-is-currently-studying-graphics-in-college-and-he-lives-with-his-parents-for-the-summer-2 Here's the archive she set up https://seulementdanslereve.tumblr.com/archive And her home page https://www.lizcalvi.com/commissions "Vampire of the Mists" (1991) was a few years later, so probably influenced by Anne Rice and The Lost Boys and everything. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire_of_the_Mists Wikipedia sayeth that Peter Pan first appeared in a novel in 1902, while the play first appeared in 1904.

The chorus was once the part of the song that brought us together, the place we gathered to sing. Now it's the most engineered thirty seconds in music.

MTV 45th Anniversary MTV launched 45 years ago on August 1, 1981 with "Video Killed the Radio Star." To celebrate this big anniversary, we spend time reminiscing about the glory days of Music Television by talking about our favorite music videos -- and a few of our least favorites. We mention some of the obvious big hits, like "Take on Me", "Sledgehammer", "Thriller", and "Rio", but we also hit a lot of deep cuts. Most of those deep cuts come from MTV's long-running show 120 Minutes, a show we all loved. We talk about some of the artists that MTV introduced us to as well as some legacy bands and artists that were forced to make the transition into the video era. We had such a great time reliving our MTV days! We would love to hear from you! Let us know what your favorite music video was from back in the day, especially ones that we didn't mention.

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the guys discuss a recent interview with Classic Rock Star and Producer Todd Rundgren on Billy Corrigan's 'Masterclass' podcast. Todd delved into his recent observations on music trends and music consumption by age and gender and how his recent work as a producer focuses more on gaming than anything else. Also Graham Platner, the presumptive Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine, appeared Thursday night in his first interview since a New York Times report about his treatment of several women he had dated, denying one woman's account that he had physically harmed her and saying he would not drop out of the race. In a nearly 25-minute appearance on MS Now's “All In With Chris Hayes,” Platner said that he would “absolutely” take responsibility for elements of his personal history. He described a history of self-medicating, and a pattern of “not exactly acting with the best behavior” after his service in the military. And the "Scott Pelley problem".

The Headbangers Vault along with special guests Emilou Lou & Saint Nick play some of their favorite rock videos that had a big influence on them in the past and the present.
This week, Chris is joined by legendary keyboardist Geoff Downes to discuss the writing and recording of the hit 1982 single from Asia, “Heat of the Moment.” Considering that the band was a supergroup of progressive musicians, the song showcased a bit of tasteful restraint during its creation, which ultimately paid off with its massive mainstream success. Geoff not only brought his signature, cutting-edge synth contributions to the band, but he also served as the most pop-oriented writer in the group, having been a founding member of The Buggles (of “Video Killed the Radio Star” fame.) Tune in for a thoughtful and fun conversation about the creation of a timeless song that set the stage for what was to come throughout the rest of the 80s.

In Part Two of our look back at Sheffield United on VHS, we move into the 1990s. It's a decade of survival acts, Wembley appearances, relegation heartbreak, and increasingly strange club videos.Joined again by Paul Kemp and DeadBat, we revisit the season reviews, Christmas cash-ins, Brian Dean specials, and the gradual shift from grainy VHS tapes to the Sky Sports era. Along the way there's Martin Tyler nostalgia, Dave Bassett appreciation, and stories of Wembley in 1993. Get full access to The Pinch at www.thepinch.uk/subscribe
While films had been made to promote music dating back to at least the 1960s, the music video became a fixture of pop culture in the 1980s. Accelerated by the birth of MTV, MuchMusic, and VH1, music videos in the 80s experienced extraordinary growth in both popularity and artistic creativity. The decade would produce countless iconic music videos, giving renowned artists a second shot at relevancy, launching a whole new wave of aesthetically minded pop stars, and providing unlikely artists a shot at ubiquity with wild conceptual videos. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we attempt to name the Best 1980s Music Video!Videos discussed: “Take On Me” by A-HA!; “Thriller” by Michael Jackson; “Like a Prayer” by Madonna”; “Sledgehammer” by Peter Gabriel; “Love Shack” by The B-52s; “Addicted to Love” by Robert Palmer; “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper; “You Can Call Me Al” by Paul Simon; “Money for Nothing” by Dire Straits; “Hungry Like the Wolf” by Duran Duran; “When Doves Cry” by Prince; “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles; “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)” by Beastie Boys; “Faith” by George Michael; “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitey Houston; “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie TylerJoin host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Derek Mekita, John Higgins, and Kate Racculia as they discuss and debate 16 of the most iconic music videos that defined 80s airwaves.For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss additional 1980s videos that didn't make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.

Le succès de Video Killed the Radio Star aurait pu rester un heureux accident, une parenthèse fulgurante dans la carrière d'un musicien de studio, comme c'est arrivé à tant d'autres. Et c'est d'autant plus évident que Trevor Horn n'aime pas sa voix, il ne se voit pas en chanteur, et supporte mal l'exposition de son image. Et logiquement, l'aventure des Buggles ne dure pas.C'est vrai ! Notre tête quand on apprend en 1980 que Trevor Horn et Geoff Downes des Buggles rejoignent le groupe Yes en tant que chanteur et claviériste ! Un épisode aussi improbable que bref. Car très vite, Downes part rejoindre un nouveau groupe, Asia, en plein enregistrement du second album des Buggles. C'est la fin, dommage, il y a des moments d'une intensité et beauté immense dans ce disque ...Et c'est justement en se retrouvant seul aux commandes de ce disque que Trevor Horn découvre le plaisir de ne plus être au premier plan. Il a trouvé mieux : contrôler le son, le modeler, le pousser là où personne n'est encore allé. Et c'est précisément à ce moment-là qu'il croise la route de ABC.Des gars qui viennent des Midlands, comme lui, Sheffield précisément, une Angleterre industrielle en plein marasme. Deux musiciens qui jouent une musique électronique sombre et expérimentale, genre David Bowie et Kraftwerk. Et qui bien sûr reste underground jusqu'au jour où un jeune journaliste de fanzine, Martin Fry, vient les interviewer. Passionné, curieux, et surtout parfaitement en phase avec leurs références, de Roxy Music à Bowie. Il lui ressemble étrangement d'ailleurs, vous ne trouvez pas ? Le courant passe immédiatement. Singleton et White lui proposent de les rejoindre. Martin Fry accepte, et en 1981, Vice Versa devient ABC.Le projet change alors de nature. Là où Vice Versa cultivait le minimalisme robotique, ABC cherche le style, l'élégance, une forme de pop sophistiquée qui emprunte autant au funk qu'à la new wave, comme les Spandau Ballet et les Duran Duran. ABC sort un premier single sur son propre label, qui entre dans le Top 20 britannique et attire l'attention de Trevor Horn.C'est un déclic pour lui car il entend dans ce son non abouti comment s'en emparer pour en faire une redoutable chanson.Et de fait, il ne se contente pas de les produire : il organise leurs chansons comme un architecte, joue avec les ruptures, les contrastes, les effets, introduit des gimmicks sonores qui surgissent et disparaissent, ou une conversation en voix off. Leur musique devient quelque chose de singulier, qu'on ne peut que remarquer : on dirait un décor en mouvement.Et c'est vrai que le premier titre de ABC produit par Trevor Horn ne ressemble à aucune autre chanson de l'époque. Non seulement elle va servir de modèle, ce qui est déjà énorme, mais surtout, la question est : qui aujourd'hui est capable de nous servir trois minutes de chanson avec autant de folie et de précision ?Avec ABC, Trevor Horn a trouvé sa place. Lui qui ne voulait plus être devant un micro est devenu celui qui décide de tout ce qu'on va entendre. Oui, c'est fou, après avoir annoncé les années 80 à la fin de la décennie précédente dans une chanson, Trevor Horn va cette fois leur ouvrir la voie.
Hace unos meses, una señal icónica se apagó definitivamente: MTV dejó de ser ese faro musical que durante décadas iluminó a generaciones enteras. En este episodio de Noche Americana, nos adentramos en la nostalgia y el análisis de una era irrepetible, marcada por la revolución del videoclip y su impacto en la cultura popular. Desde los primeros días en los que Video Killed the Radio Star inauguraba una nueva forma de consumir música, hasta la irrupción de plataformas como YouTube, el programa traza un recorrido por la evolución de la imagen como lenguaje esencial del sonido. Un viaje que explora cómo los videoclips no solo acompañaban canciones, sino que definieron estéticas, tendencias y narrativas visuales que acabarían influyendo directamente en el cine. Se analiza también el papel de grandes creadores del videoclip, auténticos visionarios que transformaron el formato en arte y sirvieron de cantera para futuras generaciones de cineastas. Directores que convirtieron cada pieza en una obra con identidad propia, marcando el camino hacia nuevas formas de contar historias. Pero este episodio no es solo historia: es memoria emocional. Porque cuando una cadena desaparece, cuando la pantalla se va a negro, algo en nosotros también se apaga ligeramente. Un fundido a negro que simboliza el final de una época y el inicio de otra, más inmediata, más digital… pero quizá menos mágica. Presentan y reflexionan: Carlos Dueñas, Gerald Dean y David Santiso. https://www.edenex.es

In this episode of The Music in Me, I'm taking you on a nostalgic, hilarious, and totally entertaining journey through the history of MTV — the channel that changed music forever. From the very first rocket launch and “Video Killed the Radio Star,” to the golden age of iconic music videos, to the reality-TV takeover that none of us were ready for but all of us watched anyway… we're covering it all. I share my own memories of growing up glued to MTV for the newest videos (and, later, the wild drama of The Real World), while breaking down how the channel shaped music, culture, fashion, and pop history as we know it.

durée : 00:02:19 - L'Humeur du matin par Guillaume Erner - par : Guillaume Erner - Vous vous souvenez forcément de Video Killed the Radio Star des Buggles. Une chanson de 1979, un peu kitsch, un peu futuriste, dont on riait gentiment. Aujourd'hui, elle ressemble surtout à une prophétie. - réalisation : Félicie Faugère
This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Natalie Orpett, Eric Columbus, and Molly Roberts, to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including:“I Don't Think You're Ready for the Shutdown.” The record-setting shutdown of the U.S. government is set to come to an end after eight Democratic senators agreed to a continuing resolution that will fund all of the government through January 30, certain chunks of the government all the way through the end of the fiscal year, and made a number of concessions along the way. What should we make of this deal, and what are the political ramifications—particularly for Democrats, many of whom are quite angry at those who ultimately voted for this plan?“Overt Acts.” Last week, in a move quite publicly celebrated by his controversial clemency czar Ed Martin, President Trump issued pardons for dozens of individuals accused of participating in efforts to manipulate the results of the 2020 election in his favor, including his former attorney Rudy Giuliani and other alleged “unindicted co-conspirators” in his own, since-abandoned federal criminal prosecution. Indeed, Trump himself was the only one who was federally indicted for 2020 election manipulations, making the most immediate legal effect of these pardons unclear. What is Trump trying to accomplish in issuing them? And what could the ramifications be for future elections?“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.” Even as his prosecutions against James Comey and Letitia James have faced headwinds, the Trump administration appears to be moving full speed ahead with criminal investigations against other of his perceived enemies—including a large-scale investigation into government reports alleging Russian support for Trump in 2016 that was recently transferred from Justice Department officials in Eastern Pennsylvania to the more Trump-friendly terrain of Southern Florida. What is the current state of the revenge campaign the Trump administration has been pursuing, and where does it seem set to lead?In object lessons, Natalie is appreciating both “The History of the New Yorkers Vaunted Fact Checking Department” and the small army of neurotic geniuses who march forward in pursuit of journalistic integrity. Eric is appreciating The Week Junior, his daughter's favorite magazine that proves real journalism isn't just for grown-ups. Scott is appreciating The Far Side's online presence, updated daily—a reminder that the line between journalism and cartooning is always thinner than we'd like to admit. And Molly is appreciating an “illuminating” visit to Glenstone, where Jenny Holzer's art reads like journalism etched in light, documenting the lingering shadows of some dark subjects.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Face the Music: An Electric Light Orchestra Song-By-Song Podcast
Although only a minor hit in the U.S., "Video Killed the Radio Star" topped the charts in a number of countries, and Buggles' 1979 The Age of Plastic became a hit in many countries. It was popular enough that Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes, the two main members of the band, were asked to join Yes for their Drama album in 1980. When Yes broke up the plan was to make another Buggles album, only Downes got recruited into Asia. Horn went ahead anyway, using demos and new songs, to create the second, and last album by the band.

We are all pivoting to video. Podcasters, journalists, editors are getting out their ring lights and their botox and they are staring intently into the camera to talk to YOU about what's going on. Is the human and tactile being offered as the antidote to the artificial AI slop? Or is this just surrendering to the influencer economy? Jessa and Nico make a solemn pledge, never to show the listeners what we wear or what our hair is doing while we are recording, and discuss the implications of a news media that wants to make stars and influencers out of reporters.

Todd and Cathy share the upcoming changes to their podcast, Zen Parenting Radio, which will be renamed Zen POP Parenting starting June 1st! They also discuss the normal shifts in kids' friendships, highlighting the importance of loyalty, boundaries, and the reality that friendships evolve. As parents, we can feel more overwhelmed than our kids when these changes happen, but it's important to normalize the ups and downs of friendships and offer support without letting our own fear or discomfort take over.
*The music in this video is copyrighted and all rights reserved to the respective copyright holders* In the premiere episode of The Audio Files, hosts Brad Zerbo and Jaytriot fire up Saturday night with a high-voltage celebration of all things music. From their roots as lifelong metalheads to their guilty pleasures in disco and Motown, the duo delivers deep musical passion with equal parts reverence and riotous fun. They kick off with a tribute to AC/DC and Casey & the Sunshine Band, then trade stories of their earliest musical influences, Brad's Monkees obsession and metal awakening via Sepultura and Megadeth, and Jay's unforgettable childhood brush with David Lee Roth (and the comment that ended a potential stepdad relationship in one sentence). The show includes a heartfelt Mother's Day In Memoriam segment, spotlighting Glenn Miller and Blondie, plus a sobering tribute to Blondie's late drummer Clem Burke. The pair also introduce a recurring segment, Video Killed the Radio Star, launching with Billy Squier's legendary career-killing video for “Rock Me Tonight.” From punk and metal to disco and funk, The Audio Files is a love letter to music across genres, with live commentary, backstories, and raw appreciation for what makes music timeless. As they sign off with Parliament's “Flashlight,” it's clear: this isn't just another music podcast. It's a full-body jam session and a joyride through the soundtrack of your life.
In this Album Dive episode, I'm joined by Chris Ballew of The Presidents of The United States of America as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the band's self-titled debut—an album that helped define what ‘90s alternative rock felt like. Chris and I get into everything: his run performing with Beck's live band, the origins (and wonderfully weird design) of the basitar and guitbass, and how the Presidents carved out their own lane as “the alternative to the alternative.”We dig into the stories behind the hits—“Lump,” “Kitty,” “Feather Pluckin',” “Peaches”—and the unexpected chain of events that led to Weird Al Yankovic's parody “Gump.” Chris also shares why Wayne Kramer of MC5 initially shut down their “Kick Out the Jams” cover, how their version of “Video Killed the Radio Star” came to be, and the wild nu-metal detour that was Subset, his project with Sir Mix-A-Lot. And of course, we talk about his solo adventures, from Casper Babypants to the twice-a-year solo albums he continues to release.From behind-the-scenes moments to genuine musical innovation, this episode is packed with the stories and spirit that made The Presidents so memorable. If you love ‘90s alt-rock, deep cuts, or just a great origin story, you're in for a good one.
