FROM THE ARCHIVES: BADFINGER / ARTFUL DODGER: Originally released in October 2013 and September 2014. RA/OR 17: Badfinger were the first band signed by The Beatles when they launched their own record label Apple Records in 1968 and the band had several hits before the harsh reality of the corrupt record industry came crashing down on their hopes and dreams. The band's song "Baby Blue" was prominently featured in the finale of Breaking Bad and sold 5300 downloads that night on iTunes. On this episode BJ tells the tragic story of the band but also celebrates the amazing songwriters that they were, especially true genius Pete Ham. RA/OR 51: BJ presents an overview of the lamentably short career of one of his favorite unsung rock bands of the seventies, a terrific band called Artful Dodger. by ROCK AND/OR ROLL

LOST EPISODE: ANSWER SONGS (UNRELEASED 2020): This is a re-edited version of an episode I had finished and ready to go when the RIAA brought the smackdown in August 2020. An answer song is a song made in response to a previous song, normally by another artist. The concept became widespread in blues and R&B recorded music in the 1930s to the 1950s. Answer songs were also extremely popular in country music in the 1950s and 1960s, most often as female responses to an original hit by a male artist. In Rock Eras: Interpretations of Music and Society, Jim Curtis says that: "Answer songs rode on the coattails, as it were, of the popularity of the first song, and resembled parodies in that their success depended on a knowledge of the original. Answer songs were usually one-hit flukes by unknown singers whose lack of identity did not detract from the success of the record since only the song, and not the performer, mattered." by ROCK AND/OR ROLL

Babbel-Net Podcast #202: Lang, lang, lang ist es her, dass wir uns das letzte Mal ausführlich um Musik gekümmert haben und so tun wir dies nun einfach wieder in unserer brandneuen Folge mit der Nummer #202. Nachdem wir uns die letzten paar Jahre - muss man leider schon sagen - durchweg nur Filmen oder Serien gewidmet haben - was sich aber auch echt immer perfekt angeboten hat für uns - legen wir diese mal zur Seite und graben wieder tief in unseren Musiksammlungen, um in unterschiedlichen Kategorien in Erinnerungen zu schwelgen oder euch einen Einblick zu geben, was wir sonst so hören bzw. gehört haben. Die Auswahl der Kategorien, die wir uns dafür ausgedacht haben, bestimmt dabei das von Dennis B. getaufte Glücksrad der Musik. Von Coversongs, die uns besser gefallen als das Original über die besondere Suche nach einem Ohrwurm zu persönlichen Geschichten mit gewissen Bands und Musikern oder dem Wiederfinden von Ohrwürmern nach 20 langen Jahren durch die Aufnahmen hierfür werden wir euc by Babbel-Net - Podcast
