Album Archives | The Vault of Music History#271 – Pink Moon by Nick Drake (1972)The Final, Perfect Whisper From A Genius
Nick Drake’s Pink Moon is a quiet masterpiece—an intimate, haunting record recorded in just two late-night sessions. Stripped down to voice, guitar, and the occasional piano, the album captures a fragile beauty that went largely unnoticed in its time. Today, its stark minimalism and emotional clarity are celebrated as groundbreaking, influencing generations of singer-songwriters and securing its place as one of folk music’s most powerful statements.

Album Archives | The Vault of Music History#272 – Grace by Jeff Buckley (1994)One Album, One Voice, Straight From Heaven
What is the story behind Grace by Jeff Buckley? In this episode of Album Archives, we explore how a single studio album fused vulnerability, virtuosity, and myth to create one of the most enduring legacies in modern music.

Blending alternative rock, folk, soul, and soaring operatic flourishes, Buckley crafted songs like “Mojo Pin,” “Grace,” and his now-iconic interpretation of “Hallelujah” into a transcendent experience. Grace wasn’t just an album...

Moral of the StoryUniversity of Chicago Booth School of Business professor Nick Epley on a train ride conversation that influenced a decade of research on human connectionNick Epley's train ride to his University of Chicago office used to be a predictably uneventful affair: 45 minutes of people looking out the window or staring at their phones, oblivious to the world around them. But one morning, the behavioral scientist decided to try something different. When a woman sat down next to him, he complimented her on her hat. That compliment began a conversation that would change the trajectory of Nick's research over the ensuing decade, and it would change the way Nick approached his life.MoSpod.org

Or, at least, what our subconscious tells us is a good decision. :) This is why things like testimonials are so important.

Flow: better conversation in a complex worldSmall Talk with StrangersBehavioral psychologist Nick Epley joins me to discuss small talk with strangers, and how certain misconceptions keep us from saying hello more often or getting deeper into more meaningful conversations. If we can understand that we have “miscalibrated expectations” about others` interest and our own enjoyment, perhaps we can get over this reluctance to engage with strangers. We confront this with other potential barriers including introversion and technology. The stakes couldn`t be bigger. Improved social lives increase happiness and longevity and improved sociality could rebuild our frazzled societies.

Rather than completely engaging us, some recommendations or pieces of advice actually overpower any enthusiasm we might for following up. This is especially true when the recommendation is too big to get our heads around.
Casual comments like, “Oh, you should read that book,” or, “You should go to Malaysia,” or, “You should check out that podcast series,” are often too much for us to process. They’re all well-intended, and could be t...
