IMPLOSION

IMPLOSION graphic

IMPLOSION is hosted by Nick Saloman, front person of The Bevis Frond. Born and raised in London, England, Nick started buying records as a small child in the late 1950s and began going to gigs and playing in bands as a teen in the late 60s. IMPLOSION is simply an hour of Nick playing the music that he loves (psychedelia, rock, folk, beat, jazz, soul, punk, and more), with a bit of chat thrown in for good measure. Nick says: "If I like it, then there have got to be a few other people who will too.

Celebrating Jerry Moss, on Listening Lyrics, Recorded Jan. 20, 2023

Fri, 01/20/2023 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

Jerry-Moss-.jpg

On Jan. 14, 2023, the Music Center (link is external)in Los Angeles had a celebration concert to honor Jerry Moss. Many artists participated, and today's Listening Lyrics  plays some of their music.

In 1960, Moss moved from New York to Los Angeles, where he teamed up with Herb Alpert,(link is external) forming Carnival Records in 1962 and running the company from an office in Alpert's garage. Discovering that the name was already taken, they dubbed their new company A&M Records.

In 1987, Moss and Alpert sold A&M to PolyGram Records for a reported $500 million. Both continued to manage the label until 1993, when they left because of frustrations with PolyGram's constant pressure to force the label to fit into its corporate culture. In 1998, Alpert and Moss sued PolyGram for breach of the integrity clause, eventually settling for an additional $200 million.

Henry Kapono

Today, we were so honored to interview the one and only Henry Kapono. What a treasure he has been and continues to be to not only Hawaiian music but Hawaiian culture and the world.  We also pay tribute to two folks we lost in the last 10 days: Danny Kaleikini, the Ambassador of Aloha, and Milan Bertosa, an engineer of the highest grade and someone who contributed to an incredible catalog of Hawaiian recordings.

The Folk Brothers for Jan. 11, 2023: Remembering Ian Tyson and Blaze Foley

Wed, 01/11/2023 - 11:10am | Peter Schiffman

Unknown.jpeg

Ian Tyson passed away at his cattle ranch on Dec. 29. Long after folk stardom with Syliva Fricker in the 1960s, Tyson had a long career as a singer-songwriter who almost single-handedly revived Western (aka "cowboy") music. Blaze Foley (pictured) died by gunshot in 1989. But Brother Bill watched Ethan Hawkes' biofilm Blaze over the holiday, and was inspired to present music from that soundtrack. And more.
