This is The Digital Story Podcast #796, June 22, 2021. Today's theme is "Digital Teleconverters Are Better than You Might Think." I'm Derrick Story. Opening Monologue Thank you so much! Humans can have amazing memory when it comes to bad things. A linger disdain for dogs because one chased you in second grade, or a bias against digital teleconverters because you zoomed out to 10X in 2005 and were horrified by the results. But things change, and this week we're going to revisit the modest, but useful 2X teleconverter that may be languishing in your mirrorless camera. I hope you enjoy the show.
Despite a small discography, this new wave band has stood the test of time and managed to still amaze listeners with each song on the radio. "You Might Think" it's a chore to rank the discography of the band led by Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr, but take this "Drive" with BC, let the "Good Times Roll", and "Let's Go" count the albums down from worst to best. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/randumb-albumb/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/randumb-albumb/support

Episode 97: Cars Show -- We left it up to you, the listeners, on whose hits we should rank next, and The Cars cruised on into the pole position. These power-pop champions from Boston had a plethora of Top 40 hits in the 80's, and Kari and Joe ranked them all. You Might Think you know which song gets the highest grade, but your hosts just might Shake it Up and surprise you! // Just a Bit Outside: You guys, I'm not even gonna lie to you here...one of these Top 40 outliers is a real stinker (and if you ask Joe -- they both are!!)

Hello ... HELLO again! Holy smokes folks, we're riding the new wave with The Cars' 1984 album Heartbeat City. Grab your skinny ties, Fairlight CMI synthesizers, headless Steinberger bass guitars, and best impressions of Ric Ocasek and let's fly. Wait, no ... drive. Paul and Ryan are both big fans of The Cars and this LP represents six months of Ric, Benjamin, Elliot, Greg, and David's painstaking production guided by legend Mutt Lange which ultimately resulted in a sparkling pop masterpiece. If you like big warm synth pads, carefully crafted bass guitar riffs, tuned and toned muscular drumming, burning acrobatic electric guitar solos, and two nearly indistinguishable but powerful lead singers singing postmodern angular lyrics that paint portraits in your mind ...

On Sunday, September 15th 2019, Ric Ocasek of The Cars passed away at his townhouse where he was recovering from surgery. This group was a staple of radio and video throughout the later 70's and 80's, and their album Heartbeat City propelled them to super-stardom both with the number of singles off the album and heavy video airplay on MTV.We covered The Cars' debut album on What the Riff?!? Ep. 28, but it seemed appropriate to make this group the first one we feature twice as a tribute to Ocasek and his work as front man of the group. We hope you enjoy this “Drive” down memory lane and keep Ocasek's family in your prayers.“Magic”This is one of the five single hits produced by this album. The video featured Ocasek "walking on water" in a pool at the Hilton estate. During the production, the Plexiglas used to facilitate the stunt cracked, dumping Ocasek in the water. “Looking for Love ”This deeper cut has a more New Wave feel. Ric Ocasek was the songwriter for The Cars. “You Might Think”The funny and strange video for this cut is iconic, and beat out Michael Jackson's ultra-successful “Thriller” for MTV Video of the Year. “Heartbeat City”The title track received radio airplay as the B-side of “You Might Think” in the U.S., but was not actually released as a single. Who is Jackie, and what took her so long? ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:“The Theme from Friday the 13th” by Harry ManfrediniThis month saw the release of the fourth iteration of the Friday the 13th movies was called “The Final Chapter”... but obviously wasn't the end. STAFF PICKS:“99 Red Balloons” by NenaThis song had two versions, and English language version and a German version. The German version was surprisingly popular in America. The song itself tells the story of worldwide destruction from war initiated after mistaking 99 helium balloons for an aerial attack. “Balls to the Wall” by AcceptThe title of Wayne's heavy staff pick references the throttles on a jet fighter. Full throttle is pushing the ball at the top of the throttle all the way forward. It means going full out. Like Nena, Accept is also from Germany.“Rebel Yell” by Billy IdolThis title track from Idol's second studio album. Though the song is about a one-night stand, the title was inspired by a late night session Idol had with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ron Wood taking swigs from a bottle of Rebel Yell bourbon whiskey.“So You Ran” by Orion the HunterThis group was made up of two artists from the group Boston, and the lead vocalist would actually join Boston to handle lead vocal duties on Boston's fourth album “Walk On” in Brad Delp's absence. This album is kind of hard to find these days — and the song is not on iTunes. INSTRUMENTAL:“Drive” by the CarsWe finish off this week with an instrumental version of the biggest hit off “Heartbeat City.” This one was originally sung by Benjamin Orr (who died of pancreatic cancer in October of 2000) rather than Ocasek, but the voiceless version seemed appropriate. Rest in peace gentlemen, and thank you for the music!

From the opening moments of CBS’ prestige courtroom procedural The Good Wife, it was clear that Robert & Michelle King had arrived on network TV ready to jolt viewers awake with razor-sharp dissections of political, judicial, and media institutions. For seven 22-episode seasons, the series’ acclaimed writing, production, and performances pushed the boundaries of broadcast expectations, and their next endeavor -- sing-songy, aliens-invade-Capitol-Hill dramedy Braindead — only further cemented the Kings as one of TV’s most inventive and prescient writing duos (giving new extraterrestrial life to ‘80s earworm ‘You Might Think’ in the process). Now, at the conclusion of Season 2 of the CBS All Access flagship drama The Good Fight (with a Showtime series on the way), listen to these writers/executive producer/showrunners for a discussion on what this current moment in news/politics means for creatives, and what makes their singular brand of political observation and dark humor more timely than ever.Episode Guests: Robert King, Michelle KingModerator: Debra Birnbaum (Variety)ATX Season 8 | June 6-9, 2019 | atxfestival.comVisit atvxp.com for more TV Camp goodness and audio from ATX!-----Get 20% off your new favorite pair of jeans @ DSTLD.com with promo code: TVCAMPFIRE

If you love hard rock and/or heavy metal these are the guys to listen to. They have a heavy KISS slant but it’s not all about KISS. They cover rock and metal from all kinds of angles and it’s really interesting. Both have all kinds of odd knowledge about the music and artists they love. I especially love the KISSMAS in July episodes and can’t wait for the 2014 version. You like Vinnie Vincent? They’ve done FIVE episodes dedicated to the man. Subscribe and ENJOY!!! Contact Us!
