Soul Rockers Judge Jackson Returns With Chapter One 1995 Thru 2000 Todd McTavish
2w ago00:22:22Tap to summarizeValley of Fire Records released "Judge Jackson: Chapter One," marking the 10th anniversary of the passing of guitarist and co-founder Lee Jackson. This release commemorates the beginnings of the band's history and the vibrant stories from the creatively rich compound known as The Junkyard in North Hollywood, CA. Additionally, the lyric video for the song "Knucklehead" was unveiled on the same day.Long before their music featured in a Super Bowl, NASCAR race, and collaborations with an Oscar winner (notably, Billy Bob Thornton), Judge Jackson established themselves as the soundtrack to many people's lives. The origins of Judge Jackson date back to 1995, when vocalist and lyricist Todd McTavish, who had moved from Canada where he once played in a band with Shania Twain as a backup vocalist, partnered with guitarist and songwriter Lee Jackson in Los Angeles. Together with bassist Ryan Rogers and drummer Chris Pendleton, they diligently performed in the local club circuit, gradually cultivating a devoted local following. By 1998, the band released its debut album, followed shortly by a second CD, titled "8068."The initial CD releases have been out of print for years; however, these 18 songs are now being re-released digitally in 2026. The tracks have been remastered by producer Tim Narducci for Valley of Fire Records, with the first release being the fan favorite and bike rally anthem, “Knucklehead,” on January 1, 2026, coinciding with the 5th anniversary of Valley of Fire Records. This remastered collection features 18 songs that are now available on all digital and streaming platforms. We invite you to join us in celebrating the life and music of Lee Jackson.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-view-from-the-writing-instrument--1023245/support.

2w ago00:18:28Tap to summarizeFrom one of cinema's wisest and most penetrating observers, an arresting new perspective on the sweep of film historyDavid Thomson has been called "the greatest living writer on the movies." Here is a career capstone of sorts-a one-volume history of film and screens as illuminating and provocative as his classic Biographical Dictionary of Film. In tracing the progress, from the Lumiere Brothers to the Coens, Thomson glories in the great movies, but admits to increasing unease over what the medium has done to us-promoting fantasy, misleading models of sexual identity, the cult of authority, power, and happy endings.This revisionist history is as alert to technology and business as it is to art and fun in tracing our pursuit of the lifelike instead of life. By turns trenchant, lyrical, and comic, Thomson uncovers our addiction to voyeurism and villainy, and a habit of passivity that has betrayed our political and cultural identity. In a survey that reaches from Metropolis to Rear Window to Anora, this will redirect ideas about film everywhere. As The New York Times has put it, "Thomson proves anew that he is irreplaceable.=Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-view-from-the-writing-instrument--1023245/support.

With accessible tips and bite-sized lessons, Seelig breaks down the necessary components you need to create your own lucky opportunities. As she shared in her popular TED Talk - luck is like the wind, constantly blowing, often unpredictable, and always in motion. And to catch the winds of luck, you need to construct your sail by doing the internal work that sets the stage for success; recruit your crew by bringing others along; and hoist your sail by acting in ways that lead you closer to your goals. With these practical tools in hand, the winds of luck carry you toward the future you dream to live.The book is filled with memorable examples, personal anecdotes, and behavioral science research.
