In 1970, Paul Kantner assembled an all-star musical cast including Grace Slick, Jerry Garcia, David Crosby and many others to create the Hugo Award nominated concept album - and first to mention the Jefferson Starship moniker - 'Blows Against The Empire'. Our guest, advertising art director and self-described 'art guy with a love for science and techie stuff' Michael Lebron, describes his quantum entanglement with Kantner over the years and hips us as to why this sci-fi counter-culture oddity STILL gets him high.

Fullerton, California's Adolescents' 1981 self-titled debut - aka The Blue Album - was one of the first hardcore punk albums to be widely distributed throughout the United States. This week's guest Tim Hinely (Dagger zine, Where The Wild Gigs Were) makes the case that their superior brand of melodic hardcore is a classic of the genre, and he gets no argument from us! Go!!

S4E189 - Syd Barrett 'The Madcap Laughs' with Corey duBrowa Oct 09, 2021

Show notes

A music journalist for two decades with more than a thousand bylines in publications ranging from Rolling Stone to Paste Magazine to GQ, this week's guest Corey duBrowa knows a compelling music story when he hears it. On both a musical and lyrical level, Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett's "The Madcap Laughs" is a wonderfully inventive - though at times hard to listen to - document of a gentle artist whose recent ouster from soon-to-be-huge Pink Floyd loomed large. "Won't you miss me? Wouldn't you miss me at all?"

S4E188 - The Undertones debut with Mick Hans Oct 02, 2021

Show notes

Chicago's Mick Hans brings us the debut record by Derry lads The Undertones. Often referred to as the "Irish Ramones", their hyper charged tales of teenage angst and adolescent heartbreak caught the ear of legendary BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, who was an early champion of the band and famously dubbed "Teenage Kicks" his all-time favorite song! "A teenage dream's so hard to beat"

S4E187 - The Clash 'Sandinista!' with Woody Compton Sep 25, 2021

Show notes

Returning guest Woody Compton takes on what some feel is the Holy Grail of punk rock excess/hubris, The Clash's sprawling, three-record-36-track opus "Sandinista!" Woody contends it would have been far more effective - and palatable - as a single record, and brought us his 12 song track list as evidence. Rob is in love with the whole overindulgent assemblage, proving one man's mess can be another man's masterpiece.
