S5E215 - Heartbreakers 'Live at Max's Kansas City' with Jack Rabid Mar 19, 2022

Show notes

As teens growing up in Summit, New Jersey in the late 70s, NY Punk Godfather Jack Rabid (Big Takeover Magazine) and his likeminded friends would sneak off to Manhattan to catch shows by the exciting new bands and punk legends they were reading about. Even at 17 they knew Johnny Thunders and his Heartbreakers were something special, and the blistering live document 'Heartbreakers Live at Max's Kansas City' is a prime example of why they rarely missed a show.

S5E211 - Leon Bridges 'Coming Home' with Camila Risso Feb 19, 2022

Show notes

Frequent guest and music lover Camila Risso is always on the lookout for sounds that move her...or make her want to move! When she discovered then-25-year-old Leon Bridges and his debut album 'Coming Home' in 2015, she was immediately drawn to his smooth, soulful voice and deeply personal songs. You can brand it as 'retro', but the sound he created with Austin Jenkins and Josh Block of the Texas psych-rock band White Denim is both meticulously old-school and profoundly timeless.

Show notes

Show notes

This week's guest Bob Fay (Sebadoh, Deluxx, Cardinal) has played on a wide swath of punk/indie releases, so it makes perfect sense that the album he chose to discuss was 'Songs in the Key of Life' by Stevie Wonder, right? Right?? Both Elton John and Michael Jackson sited it as a personal favorite, and Prince simply called it the best album ever recorded - so Bob may be onto something...

Songs featured in this episode: Temptation Tide, Ocean - Sebadoh; Glory Halleloo - Reverend Blind Gary Davis; Love's in Need of Love Today, Have a Talk With God, Village Ghetto Land, Contusion, Sir Duke, I Wish, Knocks Me Off My Feet - Stevie Wonder; You Know What I Mean - Jeff Beck; Maniac - Michael Sembello; Split Red - Minutemen; Gangster's Paradise - Coolio; Summer Soft, Ordinary Pain, Isn't She Lovely, Joy Inside My Tears, Black Man, As - Stevie Wonder; Paper Planes - M.I.A.; Take The A Train - Duke Ellington; Sforzando! - Sebadoh

We ventured once again into the Rat's lair - otherwise known as the South Beach studio of Frank 'Rat Bastard' Falestra - and sat down with Miami-via-Pennsylvania singer/songwriter Nick Mencia a.k.a.

S5E206 - Bumblefoot 'Abnormal' with Larry Smith Jan 22, 2022

Show notes

What do Guns N' Roses, Young Frankenstein and Johnny Rotten all have in common? They are all name-checked in this episode as we take a deep dive into guitar prodigy - and former GnR member - Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal's 7th solo release, 'Abnormal', with special guest Larry Smith. Come for the over-the-top musicianship and quirky-but-catchy songs, stay for the self-effacing humor and Axl Rose shade.
