    90s State of Mind #22 ::: "The music industry has failed us!"
    Apr 21 2025
    Welcome to Episode #22 of the 90s State of Mind podcast - a collaborative project between 4ever in Electric Dreams and Blue-in-Green:RADIO. This podcast series typically sees Imran (London, UK) and Rhonda (California, USA) delve into some of their favourite releases from the 90s and for this episode but this episode sees the duo take the conversation in a slightly different direction than usual. Today's episode finds Imran and Rhonda discussing Kate Nash's comments at the end of last year stating "The Music Industry Is Corrupt And Fails Artists Completely" - Nash made further headlines by admitting to raising money for her tour by providing "personal" pictures via her OnlyFans page. While the news proved shocking to many, it also opened up conversation about the industry today so we discuss what the industry's responsibilities actually are to its artists and we also ask, with the burgeoning threat of AI, are big budget record labels and streaming services the real enemy anymore? www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Blue-in-Green:RADIO is a London-based online internet radio station which celebrates 21st century soul, jazz, funk, Latin & hip-hop music. www.blueingreenradio.com TuneIn: bit.ly/2LBK0BD

    Analogue Archives Episode One: Frog Dreaming
    Mar 15 2025
    For our first hit of VHS based film nostalgia, Stu, Imran and Dan review the 1986 Australian filmed kids action movie Frog Dreaming, starring Henry Thomas of E.T fame. But did they find it a damp squib with strangely dated racist overtones, or a mystical Goonies like adventure, full of teenage wonder and old school magic?

    90s State of Mind #21 ::: BONUS EPISODE ::: More Kendrick vs. Drake (Grammys, Superbowl & … Emmys?)
    Mar 6 2025
    Welcome to Episode #21 of the 90s State of Mind podcast - a collaborative project between 4ever in Electric Dreams and Blue-in-Green:RADIO. This podcast series typically sees Imran (London, UK) and Rhonda (California, USA) delve into some of their favourite releases from the 90s and for this episode but this episode sees the duo take the conversation in a slightly different direction than usual. In a follow-up to episode #19 of our podcast series which delved into the monumental rivalry of hip-hop heavyweights Drake and Kendrick Lamar, Rhonda and Imran reconnect to discuss the events of early 2025 which saw Kendrick collect FIVE Grammy awards for 'Not Like Us' and then - a mere week later - perform what has since been dubbed the most watched Superbowl Halftime performance ever. A celebrated performance which saw Kendrick litter his thirteen minutes with subtle, and not so subtle, Drake attacks throughout, we ask is there more to come from this rivalry, and examine what Drake would do next. www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Blue-in-Green:RADIO is a London-based online internet radio station which celebrates 21st century soul, jazz, funk, Latin & hip-hop music. www.blueingreenradio.com TuneIn: bit.ly/2LBK0BD

  • Supple & Lean | A Geekcast 11: 'Abashed the Devil Stood...' (30 years of The Crow)

    Supple & Lean | A Geekcast 11: 'Abashed the Devil Stood...' (30 years of The Crow)
    Feb 17 2025
    Welcome to Episode #11 of the 4ever in Electric Dreams & CONFESSIONS OF A CURLY MIND co-production - Supple & Lean | A Geekcast. Presented by Imran Mirza from London, UK, and Vahé Vishapakagh Koshayan from Melbourne, Australia, for this episode the duo delve into all things related to 'The Crow'. With origins from James O'Barr's 1989 comic book series 'The Crow', the impassioned piece of work spawned its first on-screen iteration with the Alex Proyas-helmed movie in 1994. Starring the dearly departed Brandon Lee in a career-defining performance, the film went on to achieve cult status and has been revered since its release now 31 years ago. Following the 1994 original, subsequent entries within the franchise were marked by 'The Crow: City of Angels' (1996), 'The Crow: Salvation' (2000) and 'The Crow: Wicked Prayer' (2005) with neither generating favourable reviews or the money required to really justify the iteration that would follow. 'The Crow: Stairway to Heaven' - the 1998 TV series - perhaps generated the most favourable reviews but didn't get the chance to continue their story with the planned second season which never came to fruition; yet more Crows followed with a mix of the stories recounting the forlorn tragedy of the ill-fated lovers Eric Draven and Shelly Webster amongst others who were wronged by the harsh cruelty of an unjust life. The 30 year milestone has been marked by the release of the latest iteration of the vengeful vigilante, this time with Rupert Sanders in the director's chair leading a cast of Bill Skarsgård, FKA Twigs and Danny Huston. With Vahé and Imran both long-time fans of the 1994 original, the time seemed right to have a lengthy chat about their affections for Proyas' masterpiece, delve into the comics for the first time and revisit the sequels and reboots in an incredibly expansive conversation into James O'Barr's incredible world. The show today features original music from Supple & Lean featuring Shelly Draven with 'Your Dark Path'. www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Emanating from London, UK, the 4ever in Electric Dreams website and podcast network is designed to help us celebrate the things we loved growing up and the things that continue to excite and inspire us today.

  • 90s State of Mind #20 ::: BONUS EPISODE ::: Rapping at 50

    90s State of Mind #20 ::: BONUS EPISODE ::: Rapping at 50
    Jan 22 2025
    Welcome to Episode #20 of the 90s State of Mind podcast - a collaborative project between 4ever in Electric Dreams and Blue-in-Green:RADIO. This podcast series typically sees Imran (London, UK) and Rhonda (California, USA) delve into some of their favourite releases from the 90s and for this episode but this episode sees the duo take the conversation in a slightly different direction than usual. The show today is inspired by Andre 3000 and his comments made to GQ in November 2023 about rapping as a 48 year old man confirming sadly that he has no inclination to ever rap again and that he would feel "inauthentic" in doing so, even jokily asking what he would even tap about before citing colonoscopies and bad eyesight as potential topics. Andre's perspectives haven't been shared by all of his contemporaries as 2024 saw the release of projects by LL Cool J (56) who released 'The Force', Common (52) collaborated with Pete Rock for Part 1 of 'The Auditorium', Snoop Dogg (53) reconnected with Dr Dre for 'Missionary' amongst a slew of other projects from notable hip-hop icons. So we're ultimately discussing rapping at 50. Is hip-hop a young person's game? Is rapping at 50 something to be embraced or should rappers have the courtesy to know when the time is right to ride off into the sunset? www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Blue-in-Green:RADIO is a London-based online internet radio station which celebrates 21st century soul, jazz, funk, Latin & hip-hop music. www.blueingreenradio.com TuneIn: bit.ly/2LBK0BD

    Supple & Lean | A Geekcast 10: 'The Room' (The 'oh, hi' Edit)
    Nov 23 2024
    Welcome to Episode #10 of the 4ever in Electric Dreams & CONFESSIONS OF A CURLY MIND co-production - Supple & Lean | A Geekcast. Presented by Imran Mirza from London, UK, and Vahé Vishapakagh Koshayan from Melbourne, Australia, the duo delve into the cult phenomenon of 'The Room' (2003). Directed, written, produced and starring the enigmatic Tommy Wiseau, 'The Room' has since gone on to live in an unprecedented level of infamy - initially hailed as one of the worst films ever made, it's unmatched level of storytelling, disjointed narrative and poorly-received performances and dialogue have incredibly secured a loyal and devoted following making something of a sensation of the film's creator in the process. Famously immortalised by James Franco and company in the massively popular and award-winning 'The Disaster Artist' (2017), the film continues to find new audiences more than twenty years after its initial release. With Vahé a long time fan of the film and Imran just recently having seen it, tune in for a great conversation discussing the film's lore and legacy as well some standout scenes. We're also very excited about the show's original music in support of the conversation so please listen out for another Supple & Lean original - 'Tommy's In Control (The Room)' featuring Denny Dennington III. www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Emanating from London, UK, the 4ever in Electric Dreams website and podcast network is designed to help us celebrate the things we loved growing up and the things that continue to excite and inspire us today.
