Episode 29: Whatever Gets You to the Light

Synopsis  Rock N Roll Archaeology excavates the divergent paths of Elton John and John Lennon in the first half of the 1970s, a period where one man sprinted toward the brightest spotlight on Earth while the other desperately sought an escape. From Elton's star-making coronation at the Troubadour to Lennon's chaotic "Lost Weekend" in Los Angeles, their journeys collide in a New York studio with a high-stakes wager over the song "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night."  This is a story of two friends, two paths, and the unforeseen consequences of getting exactly what you wish for, set against the backdrop of the post-Beatles power vacuum and the dizzying heights of 70s superstardom.

VINYL RELICS/Six Ways To The Ace: Unearthing As Sheriff’s West Coast Sound

EPYSODE 63: "Six Ways To The Ace" by As Sheriff. Guests: As Sheriff band members Reid Hudson and Andy Godon, Supreme Echo record label owner Jason Flower. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we dig deep into the hazy archives of Canada’s late-60s underground with "Six Ways to the Ace", a new release from Supreme Echo featuring the long-lost recordings of As Sheriff. Emerging from the Victoria/Vancouver scene, As Sheriff blended shimmering folk harmonies with a psychedelic edge, a sound as coastal as it was cosmic. We explore how these reels of tape survived half a century, what they reveal about a vibrant yet overlooked West Coast music scene, and how bassist Reid Hudson’s journey from local gigs to May Blitz links this forgotten band to the heavier chapters of rock history. This album is a revelation...and a resurrection. I hope you dig "Six Ways To The Ace" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X @VinylRelicsPod Email me @  ⁠farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com⁠ ===LINKS=== Check out Supreme Echo's stuff here: https://supremeecho.com The As Sheriff songs are not available on Spotify, but you can hear them hear on Bandcamp: https://supremeecho.bandcamp.com/album/as-sheriff   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in order of appearance. There is no Spotify playlist available for this Epysode as the album is not available there.

See Hear Podcast Episode 132 - Nashville

Backstabbing, faux-sincerity, clawing one's way to the top, class division, those at the top thumbing their noses at those further down the ladder....all political concepts, right? Actually, all of this is in reference to the 1975 Robert Altman film “Nashville” about the country music scene....which in itself serves as a political allegory. Welcome to episode 132 of See Hear. In the early seventies, Robert Altman was becoming known as a director of ensemble pieces without the usual approach to narrative. He could be seen as being part of the New Hollywood that emerged in the late 60s, but truth is, he was a film maker unto himself....as different from everything else that was going on as other directors that emerged in this period were to what came before. He already had some hugely important films like M*A*S*H and The Long Goodbye, but to many, Nashville is considered his masterpiece. It featured multiple storylines surrounding musicians, hangers on, lovers, and political strategists. The film takes place over 5 days leading up to a concert supporting a presidential candidate. In between, we musical performances that reflect the political era – some in bars, some in the Grand Ol' Opry, some in hotel rooms. The film shows many of these people in a poor light – some are greedy, some are deluded, all are desperate. Many of the songs in this film were composed by the actors, leaving the Nashville music fraternity annoyed that they weren't consulted, and that these pesky Northerner actors thought they could understand what country music was about. Altman must have been forgiven as his final film many years later was A Prairie Home Companion (a very early See Hear podcast focus). Tim is taking a few shows off, so wasn't available, but Kerry and I were thrilled to be joined by co-host of the Stinking Pause Podcast (and occasionally Reel Britannia) Charlie Mahoney. He's a confessed Altman fan and brought some wonderful conversation and insight. We look forward to welcoming him back to future shows.

Songfacts Podcast| Bootsy Collins Interview

On this new episode of the Songfacts Podcast, host Stephanie R. Myers is joined by one of the true architects of funk: the legendary Bootsy Collins. His sound is unmistakable — the cosmic basslines, the deep pocket, the joyful energy that defines generations of funk. Bootsy walks us through his new project, Album of the Year: #1 Funkateer, which he describes as a statement of “what funk is.” We talk about the spark that set this album in motion, what keeps his creativity flowing after decades in the game, and how his formative years with James Brown and Parliament-Funkadelic continue to shape his music. We’re also treated to a special cameo from his manager and wife, Patti Collins, who adds a behind-the-scenes story about one of the album’s tracks. If you’re a fan of Bootsy, funk history, or just incredible musical storytelling, this is one you won’t want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
