Six-Pack of Human League, Volume One

Don't. Don't you want me.

On this Six-Pack episode Jon Lamoreaux of The Hustle Podcast, and Brian Linnen of The Permanent Record Podcast join Eric Miller of Pods & Sods to school him on the The Human League. And many fantasies were learned as Jon and Brian picked songs spanning the band's career from the late 70s thru their latest release earlier this decade. We also get into the group's history in the studio and on stage, what sets them apart, why you might consider diving deeper than the greatest hits, and are they the Robert Johnson of synth pop??

So sit back and feel or keep feeling the fascination that is The Human League.

Six-Pack of REO Speedwagon, Volume One

"Kevin Cronin is a sex machine" - Jon Lamoreaux

On this Six-Pack episode, Paul Underwood of Glory Days Radio, Jon Lamoreaux of The Hustle Podcast, and Eric Miller of Pods & Sods take it on the run with a six pack of REO Speedwagon songs. From their 70s hard-rocking days to the 80s heyday of monstrous, chart-topping ballads, REO Speedwagon has blazed a unique trail of rock and roll classics. We heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another that we can't fight this feeling any longer when it comes to talking REO.

Disclaimer: There is a fair amount of ball-busting in this one. ;-)

So sit back, put on your bedroom eyes, and discover or rediscover some rock and roll gems from REO Speedwagon!

Six-Pack of Ric Ocasek, Volume Two Sep 19, 2019

Show notes

Six-Pack of Ric Ocasek, Volume Two

On this Six-Pack episode, Alex Alt of the Sly Dog Music-Cast, Ben Montgomery of the Records Revisited Podcast, and Eric Miller of Pods & Sods celebrate the life and work of Ric Ocasek. Ric's career as a songwriter goes back to the late 60s, his relationship with Benjamin Orr started in 1967 and the two stuck together through the 70s in various configurations. But it wasn't until the two found themselves in Boston and connected with Elliot Easton, Greg Hawkes, and David Robinson that The Cars were truly born. They came out strong with what many consider to be the greatest debut album ever. A series of multi-platinum albums and a slew of hits followed until they kinda broke up in the mid-to-late 80s. Ric continued for the following decades as a beloved solo artist and highly successful and coveted producer. His unique style as a songwriter and singer coupled with his image as the coolest guy in any room have made him a true rock and roll icon and hero to many.

Ric passed away earlier this week while recovering from surgery and so we wanted to pay tribute.

So sit back, brush your rock and roll hair, and join us as we honor one of the greats, Mr Ric Ocasek.
