It was a detonation. A sonic identity so bold, so rhythmically charged, and so explosively modern that it reshaped the sound of American Top 40 radio.

Well, he didn’t. He put together a touring band dubbed Thunderbyrd, named after the two most direct connotations of his brand. It was also the title of his next album, another mix of covers and cowrites with Jacques Levy. While “All Night… ## [John Baldry: It Ain’t Easy](https://everybodysdummy.blogspot.com/2026/08/john-baldry-it-aint-easy.html) _2026-08-14 · wardo · Everybody's Dummy_ The British blues scene of the early ‘60s was rife with important individuals who may not have become household names, like Alexis Korner, Chris Barber, and Graham Bond. And then there was Long John Baldry, whose early bands were launchpads for Rod Stewart and Elton John. (The latter took half of his stage name from the man, and would immortalize him as “sugar bear” in “Someone Saved My Life… ## [Doug Thompson: Six Decades Crafting the Sound of Radio](https://usaradiomuseum.com/interviews/doug-thompson-six-decades-crafting-the-sound-of-radio/) _2026-08-13 · Jim Hampton · USA Radio Museum_ Doug Thompson may not be the voice most listeners remember coming out of their radios, but for more than six decades he has been one of the people behind the voices—producing, writing and directing programs heard by millions across Canada and the United States.

Here Is What Is is a non-linear, cinema-verité portrait of the artist at work, in performance, and in conversation. It’s interesting if you follow his career, but the overlying message he’s trying to convey is “I’m awesome and here’s why.”… ## [Honoring Jay Butler — A 62‑Year Legacy in Black Radio, Motown, and Gospel Broadcasting](https://usaradiomuseum.com/dj/honoring-jay-butler-a-62-year-legacy-in-black-radio-motown-and-gospel-broadcasting/) _2026-08-09 · Jim Feliciano · USA Radio Museum_ Today the USA Radio Museum Celebrates Jay Butler’s Extraordinary 62‑Year Radio Legacy One week ago, Sunday, August 2, 2026, Jay Butler signed off from WDET for the final time.

The events of Stranded In The Future cover his path to becoming a songwriter and recording artist, and in many ways, his approach to the craft hasn’t really changed in the decades since. The Confuser is right in line with his brand, but something about the combination of words, melody, and performance make… ## [Trade Smarter With IBKR (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/4HRbJUh8O8Am) _2026-08-07 · **Sponsored**_ Join Interactive Brokers through a referral and access low-cost global trading. ## [B.

While Vertical Man was still something of an all-star project, he took a more active role in the songwriting, co-writing all but two tracks, playing drums throughout and even some other instruments. His right-hand for the proceedings was Mark Hudson, who’d… ## [Once Heard in Broadcasting: The Lost Art of Radio Sign‑On and Sign‑Off](https://usaradiomuseum.com/usa-radio-museum/once-heard-in-broadcasting-the-lost-art-of-radio-sign-on-and-sign-off/) _2026-08-02 · Jim Feliciano · USA Radio Museum_ A Daily Ritual that Once Awakened America at Dawn and Gently Closed its Eyes at Night There was a time — not so long ago, yet already drifting into the soft haze of memory — when radio stations began and ended their broadcast day with ceremony.

Having imploded and scattered following the poor reception of their one album without Jon Anderson , Chris Squire and Alan White were determined to keep going somehow, and found a reason in young innovative guitarist Trevor Rabin. His more mainstream tendencies prompted Squire to call Tony Kaye, who’d been bounced… ## [Atlanta’s Airwaves Awakened: The WAKE Story, Recalled](https://usaradiomuseum.com/radio-stations/atlantas-airwaves-awakened-the-wake-story-recalled/) _2026-07-29 · Jim Feliciano · USA Radio Museum_ How a Small Atlanta Station Sparked a Southern Radio Revolution WAKE 1340 didn’t simply broadcast music — it ignited a cultural awakening across Atlanta.

Michael Penn has never (to our knowledge) tried to ride his brother’s coattails, even when that brother was married to Madonna. Rather, he has consistently—if intermittently—specialized in highly literate singer-songwriting, usually about matters of romance or lack thereof. Both music… ## [Rolling Stones 53: Foreign Tongues](https://everybodysdummy.blogspot.com/2026/07/rolling-stones-53-foreign-tongues.html) _2026-07-24 · wardo · Everybody's Dummy_ The experience making Hackney Diamonds was apparently so positive that the old geezers just kept going. Some of Foreign Tongues had been started during (and before) the sessions for that album, so good on them for not stepping back, and riding the momentum. Granted, they did issue two archival live albums of theater shows bookending the turn of the century in the interim, but this was still the… ## [Byrne & Eno 2: Everything That Happens Will Happen Today](https://everybodysdummy.blogspot.com/2026/07/byrne-eno-2-everything-that-happens.html) _2026-07-21 · wardo · Everybody's Dummy_ In 2006, David Byrne and Brian Eno’s My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts , which had long been hailed as “seminal”, was reissued with the requisite extra tracks. Then the two collaborated on an album for the first time in decades. The bigger surprise, given their previous work together, was that Everything That Happens Will Happen Today was a collection of songs as opposed to groundbreaking… ## [Chovy's Blog: Agentic Coding (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/qewNvoe45Tld) _2026-07-21 · **Sponsored**_ Personal posts on agentic coding, moshcode CLI, and security findings. ## [Prince 27: Xpectation and N.E.W.S.](https://everybodysdummy.blogspot.com/2026/07/prince-27-xpectation-and-news.html) _2026-07-17 · wardo · Everybody's Dummy_ Without a major label trying to tell him what to do, Prince continued to follow his muse—or whatever it was—to the neighborhood of jazz for a pair of releases. More to the point, both featured the phrase “new directions in music by Prince”, which everyone will tell you was similar to what Miles Davis had on the cover of Bitches Brew . Both were also entirely instrumental.
