Rewind: Imperial Teen and Rainer Maria on Reunions, Resilience, and Indie Rock’s Evolution 27:26

1 day тому27:26

27:26

In this two-part Rewind episode, Kyle Meredith catches up with Imperial Teen and Rainer Maria—two cornerstone indie bands that helped shape the lo-fi-to-mainstream arc of alternative music. Taped at different moments in their respective comebacks, both interviews dive into the complexities of making new music after years away. Imperial Teen reflect on their 2012 Feel the Sound album, the logistics of long-distance collaboration, and why they never chase hooks—they just happen. Meanwhile, Rainer Maria discuss the serendipity of proximity that led to their self-titled reunion album, pulling forgotten ideas from old MiniDiscs, navigating the streaming era, and writing lyrics with more personal depth than ever before. Both bands prove that time apart hasn’t dulled their creative spark—it’s only sharpened their purpose. Listen to Imperial Teen and Rainer Maria— chat about all this and more.

Auliʻi Cravalho joins Kyle Meredith to talk about voicing the title character in Lulu Is a Rhinoceros, a new Apple TV+ animated musical that tackles big ideas like identity, self-acceptance, and kindness—all through the eyes of a joyful animal who knows exactly who she is, even when others don’t. The Moana and Mean Girls star discusses working with Leland and Allison Flom on the music, finding Lulu’s voice, and how the story echoes her own experience as a queer woman of color. Cravalho also opens up about her recent Broadway run in Cabaret alongside Adam Lambert, her pivot into producing and directing, and why telling honest stories for young and old alike is the most powerful form of resistance.

Lenny Waronker on Signing Prince, Tom Petty’s Wildflowers, and Nearly Passing on “Wicked Games" 26:06

In this long-lost 2016 conversation, legendary Warner Bros. Records president Lenny Waronker walks Kyle Meredith through the iconic Burbank offices (now shuttered), sharing candid stories about signing Prince, nearly passing on “Wicked Game,” quietly acquiring Tom Petty, and what made the label — and its artists — so visionary. Listen now. Waronker reflects on his early studio days, the genius of Prince’s bassless “When Doves Cry,” the Black Album saga, and how letting artists lead was always the secret sauce. From Randy Newman to Chris Isaak to Bat-era Kim Basinger moans, it’s a masterclass in music history told from one of its most influential behind-the-scenes architects.

John Densmore on 60 Years of The Doors, Post-Myth Legacy, and the Genius of Jim Morrison 36:23

John Densmore has spent 60 years drumming in the shadow of both jazz greats and one very poetic lizard king, and has lived to talk about it. In this chat, he joins Kyle to dig into The Doors ’ ongoing live album series , the hypnotic pulse of “Riders on the Storm,” and having a front row seat to Ray Manzarek’s insane two-handed abilities. Listen now. He also shares how the band’s improvisational wizardry worked in real time — like jamming out "The End" while Jim Morrison free-associated poetry about familial homicide — and reflects on playing “WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)” live at a recent Whiskey a Go Go gig, which ended with his thumb staging a minor protest. There’s talk of Coltrane outtakes, Miles Davis, and even a Chuck D collaboration. And if you’re one of those fans who think the magic died in a Paris bathtub, Densmore kindly reminds you there were two post-Jim albums. Not that they’ll be staging a reunion tour, but Robby Krieger is currently playing entire Doors albums live, and Densmore occasionally drops in when his joints allow.

Hannah John-Kamen on Thunderbolts, Playing Ghost Again, and Why This Might Be Marvel’s Most Personal Film Yet 23:28

15 днів тому23:28

23:28

Hannah John-Kamen returns to the MCU in Thunderbolts* , reprising her role as Ghost — a character who’s now less flickery rage-machine, more emotionally self-aware loner with sarcasm issues. The film trades in the usual spandex-and-quips formula for something darker: guilt, depression, shame, and what happens when the Avengers forget your name. It’s a Marvel movie by way of group therapy, and she’s here for it. The actress spoke with Kyle Meredith all about it, and you can listen to the conversation now. John-Kamen breaks down how Ghost has evolved — more control, a cooler suit, and a lot less murder-y panic. She didn’t bother rewatching 2018's Ant-Man and the Wasp , choosing instead to reenter the role like a totally different person, because, well, Ghost is a totally different person now. There’s also some talk about finding British sarcasm in the middle of emotional trauma, improv sessions with Wyatt Russell and Florence Pugh, and the existential experience of filming a Marvel movie that isn’t just a CGI fireworks display. In case playing a tortured ex-villain wasn’t enough, turns out John-Kamen also writes songs, plays piano, and is maybe about to collaborate with a Brit Award winner. So, you know, in her downtime between blockbusters and inevitable crossover appearances, she might also casually launch a music career. Some people just walk through walls; others do that and book studio time. Listen to Hannah John-Kamen chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube .

Gene Simmons returns to Kyle Meredith With… to celebrate the 50th anniversary of KISS ’s Dressed to Kill , the album that gave us the studio version of “Rock and Roll All Nite”—which, according to Gene, may or may not qualify as a hit depending on your definition of the word. Listen now. Simmons reflects on the bands origins as four “unqualified” New Yorkers in makeup and heels who somehow ended up headlining stadiums. He also talks about life after the “final” KISS tour, which includes his new film production company (including working on a new movie with Bella Thorne and Mel Gibson), restaurants, vodka brand, and whatever else you can slap a Moneybag™ on. He’ll also return to Vegas with KISS later this year — not in makeup — for a KISS Army celebration . As always, Gene has opinions. On streaming: it ruined music ("Where's the new Beatles? Where's Elvis?"). On critics: they’re talentless ("...They don't really wanna work for a living, but they can't play instruments and have no talent."). On opera: pure agony. On the Ramones: “a failed band.” And on you? Well, if you’re still buying tickets or spinning the records, he loves you. Either way, Gene’s still here, still loud, and still allergic to subtlety.

Kevin Bacon and Jennifer Nettles join Kyle Meredith to talk about The Bondsman , Prime Video ’s new supernatural dramedy where Bacon plays a dead bounty hunter who gets resurrected to do the devil's bidding. It’s a Blumhouse show, so expect a dash of horror, a dollop of weird, and a good amount of twang. Nettles, best known as half of Sugarland and her role in The Righteous Gemstones , finally plays a musician on-screen — something she’s avoided until now for fear of being accused of, well, playing herself. Listen now. Bacon and Nettles talk about the awkward charm of writing songs via voice memo ping-pong, the joys of channeling trauma into duets, and how most actors aren’t writing character-based albums because, frankly, they can’t. Bacon credits Nettles’ songwriting chops. Nettles calls Bacon a great lyricist. Somewhere in the middle, they form a spooky Americana dream team you didn’t know you needed.

Adam Duritz joins Kyle Meredith to dive deep into Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets! , the long-awaited completion of Counting Crows ’ two-part album project. The singer opens up about the two-year pause he took due to a crisis of confidence, and how a record by Gang of Youths inspired a complete rewrite where he scrapped and reworked an entire batch of songs for the first time in his career. Listen now. During the in depth conversation, Duritz reflects on Counting Crows’ early days, including why B-side “Einstein on the Beach” was released against his wishes, how fears of backlash shaped their post- August and Everything After strategy, and what really happened to the lost master tapes from Recovering the Satellites . He also touches on fan-favorite deep and unreleased cuts like "Baby I'm A Big Star Now," “Margery Dreams of Horses,” and “Shallow Days,” and why the band still hasn’t made a rarities compilation.

This time on Kyle Meredith With… , it’s a double bill of the most cerebral funk you’ve ever danced to, featuring none other than Talking Heads’ David Byrne & Jerry Harrison. Listen to these archival interviews now. Byrne is the platonic ideal of the quirky frontmen, the king of the oversized suit, and the only guy who can make anxiety sound like a party trick. Whether he’s turning nervous tics into chart-topping hits with Talking Heads, penning essays on music theory, or staging Broadway shows about joy, he’s always had one foot in genius and the other in 'what even is this?' And then there’s Jerry Harrison – the Harvard-educated keyboardist/guitarist who somehow managed to be the coolest nerd in one of the coolest bands of the ’70s and ’80s. Before Talking Heads, he was in The Modern Lovers with Jonathan Richman, which is like indie rock’s version of being in a garage band with Zeus. Together, they helped turn new wave into an art form you could groove to. Listen to Talking Heads’ David Byrne & Jerry Harrison.

Don Felder has spent the last five decades shaping the sound of classic rock — most famously as the guitar maestro behind The Eagles ’ “Hotel California.” Now, he’s cracking open The Vault: 50 Years of Music , a new album that pulls from demos and song ideas dating back to 1974, when Felder first joined the Eagles. Listen now. In this interview with Kyle Meredith , Felder discusses how he unearthed forgotten gems from a long-abandoned storage unit, reworking early sketches like “Move On” and giving old favorites like “Heavy Metal” a modern punch. He reflects on his Florida roots, learning slide guitar from Duane Allman, and how those early influences still shape his playing today. Elsewhere, Felder discusses his commitment to keeping his voice and guitar chops sharp (“I will never let myself be disappointing”), and fronting most of Toto on this new record. Plus, with a summer tour alongside Styx and Kevin Cronin on the horizon ( get tickets here ), Felder is showing no signs of slowing down.

Rewind: Deep Purple’s Ian Paice & Dan Fogelberg’s Widow on Legacy, Lyrics, and Long Goodbyes 18:43

5 weeks тому18:43

18:43

This archive episode from Kyle Meredith With… features two guests with wildly different claims to rock legacy. One helped define it, and one is currently protecting it: Ian Paice of Deep Purple and Jean Fogelberg. Listen to their interviews now. First up is Ian Paice, the last original member still keeping Deep Purple in the game over 50 years later. As the drummer behind “Smoke on the Water,” he’s one of the few humans whose tom fills have been played in every Guitar Center across America. But don’t let the legacy trap fool you, Paice is still bashing away with precision, fire, and probably a little tinnitus. Then, there’s Jean Fogelberg, widow of Dan Fogelberg who’s now taken on the role of curator, historian, and gentle myth-buster for one of soft rock’s most earnest voices. Jean’s been instrumental in keeping Dan’s memory alive through reissues, tributes, and some welcome reminders that sincerity isn’t a crime. One’s still writing the story, the other’s preserving the footnotes — and both have something to say about what it means to last in music.

You know Lizzy Greene from her Nickelodeon days ( Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn ), or more recently from A Million Little Things . Now, she’s stepping into a pair of dusty boots for Netflix’s Ransom Canyon , a Western drama where she plays Lauren Brigman, the small-town Texas sheriff’s daughter with big dreams of escape. The role is something of a full-circle moment for the Dallas native, who brought her own background in horseback riding and cheerleading to the role (with a detour to the ER after a Looney Tunes-style knee fracture during rehearsals). Greene opens up to Kyle Meredith about how growing up in Texas helped her find her way into Lauren’s world — even if it meant freezing in the Albuquerque snow and bonding with castmates over cow manure during “cowboy camp.” Greene also discusses her emo-punk side (she’s a huge fan of The Cure and The Smiths), her reunion with co-star Garrett Wareing in the upcoming Sweating the Small Stuff , and why Jose Gonzalez’s "Teardrop" cover in the show nearly made her lose it.

On this pair of archive interviews from Kyle Meredith With… , dive into the world of one of the most successful duos in music history: Daryl Hall and John Oates. One’s a blue-eyed soul pioneer with a voice built to cut through FM static. The other’s a mustachioed master of melodic restraint. Together, they blurred the lines between rock, R&B, and pop — then turned that blur into decades-long chart domination. We look back at a two interviews, one with Oates in 2018 regarding a solo album and the final Hall & Oates single, and another with Hall from 2022 in which he discusses teaming up with Robert Fripp, Todd Rundgren, and Eurythmics' Dave Stewart.

Justin Vernon joins Kyle Meredith With… to dive into SABLE, fABLE , Bon Iver ’s latest and most rootsy record in years. But don’t call it a pivot — Vernon says it’s more about clarity than change. “Less mystery, more humanity,” he explains, crediting the song “Everything Is Peaceful Love” as the emotional and sonic compass for an album that tracks a "Man in black in a cabin, making the choice to change his life.” Listen now. Vernon discusses the cinematic quality and "visual story" of the songs, the subconscious as his favorite collaborator, and how the album helped stitch him back together after a tough chapter. We also hear about the influence of Rickie Lee Jones (“The Horses” is his second favorite song of all time), why the band hasn’t played “Exile” without Taylor Swift (“It’s her song”), and what it was like getting snowed in with Danielle Haim ("She's one of my favorite people ever") during recording . We also dig back into Bon Iver lore to reflect on that cover of The Outfield's "Your Love." Vernon still considers it some of Bon Iver’s best cover work: “It was a big moment for us,” he says.

On this Rewind episode of Kyle Meredith with... , hear from Sarah McLachlan and Tracey Thorn: two voices that not only helped define the emotional landscape of the ’90s, but did so on their own terms. McLachlan, with her soaring melodies and introspective songwriting, built a legacy of haunting beauty, activism, and defiance. Thorn, as half of Everything But the Girl and a solo artist in her own right, turned quiet vulnerability into pop brilliance with a voice that could break your heart with one line. Different sounds, same fearless spirit. Kyle Meredith talks with both artists about their music, impact, and what keeps them at the center of the conversation decades later.

Jeff Bridges joins Kyle Meredith to talk about Slow Magic: 1977–1978 , a long-lost batch of recordings from his late '70s jam sessions that’s finally getting its debut on Record Store Day via Light in the Attic. Listen now. Bridges also reflects on working with legends like Burgess Meredith — who contributes a spoken word piece to the album — and how songwriting often intersects with his acting career. He recalls writing music inspired by Crazy Heart , fantasizing about a King Kong sequel, and even jamming with Bob Dylan on the set of Masked and Anonymous . “He knocked on my trailer and said, ‘You wanna pick?’” Bridges grins. “My hands were shaking.” Looking ahead, the Oscar winner teases new projects with Terry Gilliam and the upcoming Tron: Ares , while leaving the door open for future music. “I don’t know what’s next,” he says, guitar next to him. “I just pick it up, see what happens.” Listen to Jeff Bridges t chat about all this and more or watch it on Youtube .

Finn Cole catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk about Last Breath , the true-life deep-sea survival thriller that finds him playing a saturation diver stranded at the bottom of the North Sea. The Peaky Blinders alum gets into the intense training he and Simu Liu underwent to shoot underwater with real gear, how they learned to stay calm in a literal pressure cooker, and how scuba diving actually overlaps with acting when it comes to breathing, focus, and presence. Listen now. Cole also reflects on his Peaky Blinders character arc, saying it was tough to watch Michael Gray shift from fan favorite to divisive villain — but ultimately, a gift as an actor. He adds that working alongside talents like Cillian Murphy and Helen McCrory taught him how to be the kind of scene partner who can be relied on completely. Elsewhere, he gets into his blues guitar obsession, his dream of playing John Martyn in a biopic, and that moment on set when the dive crew blasted Underworld’s “Born Slippy” through underwater speakers and turned on the disco lights at 4AM. “There’s a video of me doing full dad dancing,” he laughs.

Michael McDonald joins Kyle Meredith With… to talk about Walk This Road , the first Doobie Brothers album to feature him as a full member since 1980. What started as a 50th anniversary tour quietly evolved into something more permanent, with McDonald, Tom Johnston, and Pat Simmons writing and singing together again for the first time in decades. He shares stories about rediscovered demos, recording new songs in real time, and finally living out his dream of playing accordion on a New Orleans-inspired track. Listen now. The album is full of surprises — gospel grooves, blues shuffles, and even social commentary — but it’s also a reminder of The Doobies’ musical range and chemistry. McDonald says playing with the band pushes him in ways his solo work never has, like taking on new instruments or singing alongside voices as distinct as Johnston’s and Simmons’s. He also weighs in on the HBO Yacht Rock documentary , how Mavis Staples stole the show on their title track, and how touring in your seventies can still make you feel 20 when you hit the stage.

Meanwhile, Peaches took electroclash, punk attitude, and pure sexual liberation and turned it into a movement, proving that provocation and poetry can be closely related.

Kyle Meredith sat down with Hamilton Leithauser to talk about his first solo album in five years, This Side of the Island , a record that took a full decade to finish. Listen now. The album leans into a more danceable, groove-heavy sound — something Leithauser credits to years of listening to his daughters’ pop playlists, including Chappell Roan and Charlie XCX. “Maybe I just wanted to make something they’d actually listen to," he says. Of course, This Side of the Island comes on the heels of The Walkmen’s reunion tour, which he says was never about a full comeback. “It was supposed to be five shows, then we kept saying yes. But as for a new record? Not happening.” Now, Leithauser is taking his own rock 'n' roll cabaret-style show on the road, including his seventh residency at New York’s Carlyle Hotel (currently ongoing) and a summer tour with Father John Misty and Lucinda Williams.

On this archival episode of Kyle Meredith with... , hear from Adrian Belew and Daniel Ash: two sonic architects who helped redefine the boundaries of rock. Belew -- the guitar wizard behind King Crimson, Talking Heads, and David Bowie -- turned the six-string into a playground of sonic weirdness. He bended, looped, and warped notes into something entirely his own. Meanwhile, Ash helped shape goth, post-punk, and alternative rock with his hypnotic, reverb-drenched riffs in acts like Bauhaus, Tones on Tail, and Love and Rockets. Both are innovators united by an endless curiosity for pushing sound forward. Kyle Meredith takes us back to his 2017 interviews with both Adrian Belew and Daniel Ash in this special Rewind episode.

Emily Bett Rickards & Ash Avildsen on Bringing Wrestling Pioneer Mildred Burke to Life in Queen of the Ring 24:00

Kyle Meredith sits down with actor Emily Bett Rickards ( Arrow ) and director/screenwriter Ash Avildsen ( Paradise City , American Satan ) to talk about their new movie Queen of the Ring . Listen now. Taking place from the 1930s to the 1950s, the movie tells the story of how professional wrestler Mildred Burke became the first million-dollar female athlete, breaking barriers in a sport where women weren’t even allowed to compete. Filmed in Louisville, the production leaned on Ohio Valley Wrestling for training, making sure the in-ring action looked just as authentic as Burke’s real-life battles. The movie aims to introduce Burke to a new generation while driving home the reality of women’s ongoing fight for equality in sports. For wrestling fans, Queen of the Ring also makes a point about Burke’s legacy: “People always ask if this is about the [prominent early female wrestler] Fabulous Moolah,” Avildsen says. “But Moolah never drew the real moolah — Millie did.” Listen to Emily Bett Rickards and ash Avildsen chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

On this archival episode of Kyle Meredith with... , hear from Simple Minds: the Scottish rock giants who went from post-punk outsiders to stadium-filling anthem makers. With "Don’t You (Forget About Me)," the band became forever tied to the ‘80s, but their catalog runs way deeper — sweeping synths, soaring choruses, and a knack for reinvention that’s kept them going for decades. Whether they’re embracing their new wave roots or pushing into fresh territory, Jim Kerr and company are still proving they’re more than just a John Hughes soundtrack staple. Join us for this retrospective as Jim Kerry talks with Kyle Meredith about the legacy, the music, and the future of Simple Minds.
