Don and Dude continue their celebration of Casey Kasem and the enduring legacy of American Top 40. For this installment of Classic Casey Countdowns, the guys turn the dial back to the week of November 10, 1984,  a neon-saturated era when pop, soul, and MTV all collided. Two albums from that chart dominate the discussion, both tied to unforgettable Top 10 singles that defined mid‑Eighty's radio magic.Billy Ocean – Suddenly (1984) The Trinidad‑born singer's breakthrough LP fused R&B, post‑disco, and pop into a sleek, heartfelt package. Produced by Keith Diamond, the record launched Ocean into global stardom with “Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)”—the #1 hit that ruled both the Hot 100 and soul charts. Ocean's smooth tenor, vibrant sax hooks, and narrative flair set the tone for an album balancing dance‑floor confidence (“Loverboy”) and tenderness (“Suddenly”). Musical craftsmanship, rich production, and emotional sincerity make this a quintessential 1984 crossover.Wham! – Make It Big (1984) Recorded mainly in France and crafted by George Michael, this pop‑soul phenomenon redefined chart‑topping polish. “Wake Me Up Before You Go‑Go” kicked off Wham!'s four‑for‑four streak of U.S. #1 singles, pairing Motown bounce with pure 80s exuberance. Deeper cuts like “Everything She Wants” and “Careless Whisper” showcase lyrical weight beneath the brightness—proof of Michael's emerging genius as writer, producer, and arranger. It's colorful, confident, and irresistibly hook‑laden pop that still resonates decades later.Dude is Diggin":Whiskey Myers – Whomp Whack Thunder (2025)Pearl Jam – Vs. (1993) (vinyl)Don is Diggin' :Heaven 17 – new album, 2026 (feat. “There's Something About You”)The New Wave Music Podcast Episode 121 (featuring Don as guest reviewer)Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 2ú lá de mí an Mheithimh, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1978 sheol an Aire Sláinte Charles Haughey scéim ar leith chun cabhrú le daoine óga sna cathracha a raibh riosca orthu damáiste a dhéanamh dá shaol. I 2000 bhí na hairí ón thuaidh faoi ionsaí ó na n-antoisceach ó dhá thaobh. I 1998 maraíodh 15 eallach ar fheirm I Toomevara de bharr go raibh toirneach agus tintreach ann. Bhí na heallaí ar foscadh faoi chrann seiceamar nuair a bhí sé ag cur báistí go trom agus thit an crann orthu. I 2006 bhí rangú san Aonach Urmhumhan sa tábla IBAL go hiontach mar chuaigh siad ó 'go leor bruscar' go 'níl aon bhruscar ann'. Chuaigh siad ó 51ú háit chuig 13ú háit. Sin Sonique le It Feels So Good – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2000 Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1973 chuaigh Paul McCartney chuig uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena albam Red Rose Speedway agus fuair sé uimhir a haon lena hamhrán My Love agus d'fhan sé ann ar feadh ceithre seachtaine. I 1984 fuair Wham! A chéad uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain lena amhrán Wake Me Up Before You Go Go. Scríobh George Michael an t-amhrán agus bhí sé páirteach den bhanna cheoil. An inspioráid don amhrán ná nuair a scríobh Andrew Ridgeley nóta dá thuismitheoirí ag rá 'wake me up before you go' agus scríobh sé 'up' dhá uair agus mar sin scríobh sé an teideal 'wake me up before you go go'. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Wentworth Miller sa Bhreatain I 1972 agus rugadh aisteoir Ethan Slater I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1992 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 2nd of June, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1978: health minister Charles Haughey had launched a unique scheme to help young people in cities who may have been at risk of becoming delinquents. 2000: the norths power sharing ministers were under attack last night from extremists on both sides. 1998 - FIFTEEN cattle on a farm in Toomevara were killed in a severe thunder and lightning storm which struck North Tipperary. The cattle were sheltering in a hill field under a sycamore tree from a heavy downpour of rain when the "act of God" occurred.  2006 -Nenagh's ranking in the national IBAL league made a dramatic improvement, rising from the categorization of ‘Litter Blackspot' to ‘Litter Free Status'. rising from 51st place out of 57 towns to 13th in the latest survey.  That was Sonique with It Feels So Good – the biggest song on this day in 2000 Onto music news on this day In 1973 Paul McCartney had both the No.1 positions on the US charts when 'Red Rose Speedway', went to the top of the album chart and 'My Love', started a four week run as the No.1 single. 1984 Wham! had their first UK No.1 with 'Wake Me Up Before You Go Go.' Written and produced by George Michael, one half of the duo. Inspiration for the song was a scribbled note left by his Wham! partner Andrew Ridgeley for Andrew's parents, originally intended to read "wake me up before you go" but with "up" accidentally written twice, so Ridgeley wrote "go" twice on purpose. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Wentworth Miller was born in the UK in 1972 and actor Ethan Slater was born in America on this day in 1992 and this is some of the stuff he has done.

Sänger, Songschreiber, Produzent - George Michael hat auf vielen Gebieten geglänzt. Seine große Karriere nahm ihren Anfang bereits zu Schulzeiten und führte wenig später sogar bis nach China, wo Wham! als erste westliche Band auftreten durften. Unzählige Kulthits entstanden damals, von "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" über "Freedom" bis zum unverwüstlichen Weihnachts-Klassiker "Last Christmas". Und natürlich war George Michael auch solo erfolgreich, zum Beispiel mit seinem grandiosen Album "Faith". In dieser Folge gibt 's viel zu besprechen: Warum ist der Popstar bei "Careless Whisper" fast am Saxofon-Sound verzweifelt? Wieso war er bei Queen als Nachfolger von Freddie Mercury im Gespräch? Und welche Plagiats-Vorwürfe standen bei einem bekannten Song im Raum (und wurden außergerichtlich gelöst)? Das und noch viel mehr hört ihr hier. ++++++++++Song-Tipps zur Folge++++++++++ "Wham Rap (Enjoy What You Do)" "Young Guns (Go For It)" "Bad Boys" "Club Tropicana" "Nothing Looks the Same in the Light" "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" "Freedom" "Careless Whisper" "Last Christmas" "The Edge of Heaven" "A Different Corner" "I Want Your Sex" "Faith" "Father Figure" "Monkey" "Kissing A Fool" "I Knew You Were Waiting" "Heal The Pain" "Freedom!

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (06/11/2024): 3:05pm- A jury in Wilmington, Delaware has found Hunter Biden guilty on three felony charges related to lying on a background-check he submitted when acquiring a firearm in October of 2018. According to reports, the president's son could face up to 25-years in prison and a fine up to $750,000. Could President Joe Biden pardon his son—and would that potentially impact his status as the Democrat Party's 2024 presidential nominee? 3:30pm- In a new article for Politico, Ben Schreckinger documents the numerous connections between Joe Biden aides and the Biden family's business. He writes: “For years, Joe Biden shared a bookkeeper with his son, Hunter. He also shared a personal lawyer with his brother, Jim. And when Jim Biden wanted to know more about one of Hunter Biden's associates, he hired the former head of Joe Biden's Secret Service detail to investigate. Since 2019, Joe Biden has repeatedly distanced himself from his family's business dealings, saying that he has never so much as discussed them with his relatives or with anyone else. But House impeachment inquiry interviews, public records and emails reviewed by POLITICO show that members of his inner circle were regularly enmeshed in those dealings: Many of the president's closest staffers and advisers have doubled as his relatives' business associates, both during and after their stints working for the man at the center of the Biden family orbit.” You can read the full article here: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/06/08/joe-biden-aides-family-business-dealings-00161476 3:40pm- In reaction to President Joe Biden's abysmal approval ratings, statistician Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight suggested that it might be in the Democrat Party's best interest to replace Biden as their 2024 presidential candidate. According to RealClearPolitics polling averages, Biden now trails Donald Trump in all seven key swing states and is only up 2-points in Democrat strongholds like Minnesota and Virginia. 4:05pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap the European Parliament elections which saw right-leaning parties perform particularly well. The results led to French President Emmanuel Macron calling for a snap legislative election. Plus, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has stated that there should be a universal ban on fossil fuel advertisements in order to protect “green energy” from criticism. Dr. Coates is the author of: “David's Sling: A History of Democracy in Ten Works of Art.” You can find her book here: https://www.amazon.com/Davids-Sling-History-Democracy-Works/dp/1594037213. 4:30pm- Caroline Sunshine—Deputy Director of Communications for the 2024 Trump Campaign—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a jury in Wilmington, Delaware finding Hunter Biden guilty on three felony charges related to the purchase of a firearm in October of 2018. Plus, Sunshine reacts to polling previewing the 2024 presidential election, as well as President Biden's backwards economic policies.

Although the California-based technology sector has historically been progressive in political ideology, Sacks says he believes people are starting to realize that Trump's policies benefit them. 6:30pm- A jury in Wilmington, Delaware has found Hunter Biden guilty on three felony charges related to lying on a background-check he submitted when acquiring a firearm in October of 2018. According to reports, the president's son could face up to 25-years in prison and a fine up to $750,000. Following the trial, Juror #10 spoke with CNN—explaining that he never considered that Hunter was the son of the president of the United States. 6:40pm- When asked about the Hunter Biden trial during an interview with Dana Bash on CNN, Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) claimed that her internet connection dropped and could not continue the conversation…perfect timing! 6:50pm- A progressive journalist secretly recorded a conversation she had with Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. At one point Justice Alito agrees that the country is polarized and that it should return to a place of godliness. How is anything he said controversial? The left is, of course, losing its mind.

I haven't spoken on the podcast yet about my personal experience learning dancing. At university, I took part in dancesport, which is competitive ballroom and latin dancing; and in the last few years I have been learning to dance tango. I am struck by the differences in philosophies, skill sets, values, and learning cultures between these dance styles, so I wanted to share my experience with you.

Today, we're cranking up the nostalgia as we take a groove-filled trip back to the 1980s with the iconic album "Make It Big" by the sensational duo Wham! "Make It Big" is not just an album; it's a cultural touchstone that captures the essence of '80s pop music. Released in 1984, Wham!, consisting of George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley, skyrocketed to international fame with this sophomore effort. The album's infectious blend of pop, funk, and soul immediately struck a chord with listeners and solidified the duo's status as pop royalty. This album is a treasure trove of hits that continue to light up dance floors to this day. From the irresistible groove of "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" to the soulful crooning of "Careless Whisper," "Make It Big" is a showcase of George Michael's vocal prowess and the duo's uncanny ability to craft hooks that stick in your mind long after the music stops. Wham!'s music is not just about catchy tunes; it's a time capsule that transports us back to the neon-soaked, carefree spirit of the '80s. "Make It Big" encapsulates the era's exuberance and glamour, making it a quintessential addition to any vinyl collection. It's an album that perfectly captures the soundtrack of a generation. When "Make It Big" hit the shelves, it did just that – it made it big. The album's commercial success was meteoric, earning multi-platinum status in various countries and topping charts worldwide. Beyond the numbers, Wham! achieved a level of stardom that allowed them to transcend music and become pop culture icons. George Michael's undeniable charisma and Andrew Ridgeley's energetic presence made Wham! more than just a music act – they were a phenomenon. "Make It Big" wasn't just an album; it was a statement that echoed through fashion, music videos, and a sense of youthful rebellion that defined the decade. As we gently place the needle on this vinyl gem, we invite you to join us on a sonic journey through the jubilant world of "Make It Big."

This week, Chris interviews Shelley Anderson! Shelley is a music therapist who works for a private practice in Ft Wayne, IN and runs a business, Notes 2 Live By, that teaches basic communication through sign language and, more recently, through assistive technology. Shelley shares about the ways that music can be used to teach language to everyone, including AAC users, including how music can be used in unique ways to teach core language concepts.    Before the interview, Chris chats with his son Tucker and daughter Maggie about current slang that you may want to consider adding to AAC devices. They talk about slang such as “slay”, “queen”, “give me the tea”, “fit”, “choogie”, and more!    Key ideas this week:   It can be very motivating to start singing a song and to then stop it at a point that makes the listener want to keep singing. An AAC user can add a word from their device to the song you are singing in the same way, such as us singing “Because I'm” and having them say “happy” to the tune of “Happy” by Pharrell.   When using music to teach language, it is better if you sing acapella or play an instrument. That way, we can slow down the pace to meet their needs, which  is more effective than pausing the music on a pre-recorded track.    We can use music to teach a particular core word, such as playing “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go” by WHAM! to teach “Go”. You can also contrast the different meanings of a core word using different songs (e.g. “Can't Stop This Feeling” by Justin Timberlake and “This Train Don't Stop There Anymore” by Elton John).   If you are using music in therapy, make sure not to overuse a particular song (e.g. play the same song they like every week for months), as this can effect how motivating it is.   Visit talkingwithtech.org to access previous episodes, resources, and CEU credits that you can earn for listening to TWT episodes!   Help us develop new content and keep the podcast going strong!

Michaelangelo Matos is the author of "The Underground Is Massive: How Electronic Dance Music Conquered America" and "Can't Slow Down: How 1984 Became Pop's Blockbuster Year." "Can't Slow Down" is the definitive account of pop music in the mid-eighties, from Prince and Madonna to the underground hip-hop, indie rock, and club scenesEverybody knows the hits of 1984 – pop music's greatest year. From "Thriller" to "Purple Rain," "Hello" to "Against All Odds," "What's Love Got to Do with It" to "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," these iconic songs continue to dominate advertising, karaoke nights, and the soundtracks for film classics (Boogie Nights) and TV hits (Stranger Things). But the story of that thrilling, turbulent time, an era when Top 40 radio was both the leading edge of popular culture and a moral battleground, has never been told with the full detail it deserves – until now. Can't Slow Down is the definitive portrait of the exploding world of mid-eighties pop and the time it defined, from Cold War anxiety to the home-computer revolution. Big acts like Michael Jackson (Thriller), Prince (Purple Rain), Madonna (Like a Virgin), Bruce Springsteen (Born in the U.S.A.), and George Michael (Wham!'s Make It Big) rubbed shoulders with the stars of the fermenting scenes of hip-hop, indie rock, and club music.Rigorously researched, mapping the entire terrain of American pop, with crucial side trips to the UK and Jamaica, from the biz to the stars to the upstarts and beyond, Can't Slow Down is a vivid journey to the very moment when pop was remaking itself, and the culture at large – one hit at a time.Michaelangelo has also written for MixMag, Pitchfork, the New Yorker, GQ, NPR and a variety of other publications. He lives in St. Paul, Minnesota . Learn more about Lyte. Subscribe, listen, share and review Spot Lyte On. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
