This is the Remix Baby! Apr 25, 2025

Show notes

REMIXXXXX! Come along with us as we discuss a few of our favorite remixes. And not the club edits, but the culture-shifting reworks that breathe new life into already iconic tracks. They just don't make them like they used to when remixes were used to keep songs alive, fresh, and sometimes were even better than the original. ENJOY!

The Pen of Diane Warren Mar 21, 2025

Show notes

As far as songwriters go, Ms. Warren is in a class on her own. She has a platinum, chart-topping pen that is untouchable. One day she’ll have you pleading for someone to un-break your heart, and the next day you’ll be at the disco in the rhythm of the night. You don’t have a songwriting career that has lasted 42 plus years without being one of the best, and she indeed is just that. Join us as we share some of our favorite songs written by the legendary Diane Warren.
