Take 5 with TV On The Radio

Hearing TV On The Radio talk about music is as fun as it sounds. When the New York band first emerged they were like nothing we’d heard before. A mash of genres and sounds and for many, the sound of tomorrow, today. 10 years on from their last album, the band are back on the road again. And on their first visit to Australia in a decade, they joined Zan Rowe to Take 5. It’s the only interview they gave while here, and they really went in on the theme of 'future sounds from the past'. Want to dig into the brains of Tunde Adebimpe, Kyp Malone, and Jaleel Bunton? You’re about to fall into a wormhole. This is a wild and wonderful ride with three of the most intriguing and passionate music minds of our time. TVOTR's song choices: Suzanne Vallie – 'River of Angels' Wings' (unreleased)Pharoah Sanders – 'Izipho Zam'Sun City Girls – 'The Flower'Hildur Guðnadóttir – 'Melody of Not Knowing'Jehovah’s Princess – 'F(X)'00:00 Introduction to the Podcast 00:35 TV on the Radio: A Decade Later 02:07 Reflecting on the Past and Present 04:57 Take 5 theme: Future Sounds from the Past 05:05 SONG 1: Suzanne Vallie – 'River of Angels' Wings' (unreleased) 11:13 The Influence of Pharaoh Sanders 11:33 SONG 2: Pharoah Sanders – 'Izipho Zam' 17:59 Sun City Girls and Their Impact 20:06 SONG 3: Sun City Girls – 'The Flower' 25:15 SONG 4: Hildur Guðnadóttir – 'Melody of Not Knowing' 30:59 SONG 5: Jehovah’s Princess – 'F(X)' 35:18 Conclusion and Farewell

Alex Kapranos from Franz Ferdinand

Do you remember the first time you heard Franz Ferdinand's 'Take Me Out'? The way it began, then completely flipped less than a minute in? It was such a thrill, one that has never dulled in the two decades since. Six albums later, the Scottish band explore the thrill of living on their latest record, The Human Fear. How human fears drive us on, bolt us into action, give us a thrill. It was ripe for a big convo on Take 5. And frontman Alex Kapranos was up for the challenge. Get ready for a brilliant conversation on the songs that have shaken him in the best of ways, through his life. Alex Kapranos's song choices: The Turtles — 'You Showed Me'Dory Previn — 'With My Daddy In The Attic'Adam and The Ants — 'Kings Of The Wild Frontier'Fiery Furnaces — 'Sweet Spots'Pussy Galore — 'NYC 1999!'00:00 Introduction and Unusual Party 00:49 Overcoming Fear: A Conversation with Alex Kapranos 02:02 SONG 1: The Turtles — 'You Showed Me' 02:23 The Thrill of Sharing Music 04:37 Musical Influences and Songwriting 10:11 SONG 2: Dory Previn — 'With My Daddy In The Attic' 15:38 Parenthood and Fear 18:17 SONG 3: Adam and The Ants — 'Kings Of The Wild Frontier' 21:56 Embracing Performance and Audience Connection 24:32 SONG 4: Fiery Furnaces — 'Sweet Spots' 25:16 Touring with Fiery Furnaces and Hot Hot Heat 30:36 The Indie Music Scene of the Early 2000s 31:10 The Impact of Digital Music 35:07 The Rise of Franz Ferdinand 37:48 Memorable Moments and Reflections 39:49 SONG 5: Pussy Galore — 'NYC 1999!' 39:51 A Chaotic Memory with P***y Galore 43:45 Conclusion and Farewell

Trent Dalton's own story in five songs

Trent Dalton is a master storyteller. His debut novel Boy Swallows Universe is an international bestseller, it was turned into a Netflix series and recently voted as Australia’s #1 read of the last quarter century, in Radio National's Top 100 books. A Walkley Award winning journalist, Trent followed this stunning debut with several other works of fiction, and a collection of Love Stories from the streets of Brisbane. And now he has a new novel, Gravity Let Me Go, for us to sink our teeth into. You’re about to hear an incredible conversation; some big yarns and the music that has shaped Trent Dalton’s whole life story.

Stella Donnelly's radical honesty

If you’ve ever lost touch with a friend or been heartbroken by a platonic breakup, Stella Donnelly’s new album is for you. Documenting the end of a friendship, it’s a brutally honest, heartbreaking, and hopeful record so many of us can relate to. And Zan couldn’t wait to talk with her all about it. Stella is one of the best songwriters around today. She has always shot from the hip, told it like it is, and been unafraid to share the truth. Hearing her speak about the songwriters who do the same is a masterclass in the power of song, and the influence of these incredible songwriters on us all.

Justine Clarke's Australian songbook

Justine Clarke is a legend. For most of her life she’s been in ours; as a child actor who graduated to a lifelong career on the big and small screen and into an acclaimed theatre actor. For the last 20 years she’s probably been entertaining your kids, as a regular on Play School and ARIA winning singer of many children’s albums. But running parallel to all of this, has been music. Way before she stepped into roles on Mad Max and Home and Away, music was her lifeblood. With our annual Ausmusic Month kicking off, Justine Clarke shares her Australian songbook.

Noel Gallagher's 'escape' songs

Oasis are undoubtedly the biggest band to rise out of Brit Pop. And it’s hard to describe how massive their return is. For years, the public fighting between the Gallagher brothers suggested they’d never come back. And one day, they did. Oasis have been playing all over the world to stadiums of screaming fans, young and old. And as they finally return to Australia, we’re celebrating by sharing a Take 5 for the ages from the archives. A couple of years ago Zan Rowe sat down with Noel Gallagher in his own studio, in Kings Cross, London. At this stage, the reformation tour was not on. He was recording and touring with his band the High Flying Birds, and had just released an album called Council Skies. Noel’s history is everywhere in his songs. And the songs he loves, too. You'll hear songs you're expecting, but it's the ones you're not that'll pack a real punch. And the stories? All time. Noel Gallagher's song choices: 1.Pink Floyd – 'Nobody Home'2.The Smiths – 'Asleep'3.Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass – 'This Guy's In Love With You'4.Air – 'All I Need'5.The Beatles – 'I Am The Walrus'00:00 Introduction and Oasis' Impact 00:57 Noel Gallagher's Studio and memorabilia from The Haçienda nightclub 02:11 SONG 1: Pink Floyd – 'Nobody Home' 07:35 Reflecting on life as a rock star & post-fame 09:45 SONG 2: The Smiths – 'Asleep' 14:55 Growing up in Manchester 17:02 SONG 3: Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass – 'This Guy's In Love With You' 17:11 A Memorable Encounter with Burt Bacharach 24:09 Remembering Burt Bacharach 25:38 SONG 4: Air – 'All I Need' 30:52 The Shift to Digital Music 31:30 Wild Times with Oasis 35:09 Transition to a Calmer Life 36:33 SONG 5: The Beatles – 'I Am The Walrus' 39:48 The Night That Changed Everything for Oasis 41:37 Reflecting on Oasis' Final Tour 42:55 The Joy of Songwriting 44:25 Closing Thoughts and Future Guests Watch Take 5 on ABC iview: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/take-5-with-zan-rowe Contains strong language.

This is a great podcast, but especially if you’re a music nerd and need to know more about your favorite bands. Great topics, deep subjects, hits all the feels. Also the interview is done really well and respectful of the artist. I’m a sucker for a good interview, also Zan’s voice is very pleasant. One of my favorite podcasts!
Amazing episode in one of my favorite shows

Zan Rowe is a very talented EJ interviewer on double J radio and this whole Series (take 5) is fascinating to anyone interested in music and/or the creative process. This particular one is with Max Richter, who is well known outside the popular Music world as a modern classical musician and composer. He talks about how a wide range of classical, electronic, rock and jazz music has inspired him, exemplified in the five pieces of music he chose to discuss. This is radio at its absolute best.
Awesome
