The guys giggle through another round of entries from listeners telling stories about their favorite music festival experiences while trying to win tickets to Louder Than Life Music Festival in September.
A listener letter sends the guys on the first of what could be many explorations into the backstories of some of the session musicians who made up the collective who would come to be known as “The Wrecking Crew.” Hear the story of the drummer who happened to be next door just in time to step into a powerful and historic musical moment.

THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT is taking over most musical talk this weekend, so the guys dug back to Episode 147 to celebrate a certain track from Ms Swift’s back catalog and see what we can all learn from her about music history.
To celebrate the life of Dickey Betts (RIP, April 18, 2024), the guys revisit an episode from last November relating the drugs, chaos, and southern rock relatability that would define the Allman Brothers Band.
A photo of a whole lot of famous rockers in one place gets the guys researching a record label that redefined the way music was listened to and sold in 1970’s America.

In honor of the recent examination of Kip Winger on the show, Brian and Murdock revisit Episode 45 and get the lowdown on the music and lifestyle of the 1980’s Sunset Strip (and find out if Slash REALLY DID audition for Poison) by welcoming rock journalists Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock to the show.
Check out Tom and Rich’s amazing oral history NÖTHIN’ BUT A GOOD TIME: The Uncensored History of the ’80s Hard Rock Explosion here.
The guys get a letter giving them permission to talk all about Kip Winger, Alan Parsons, Metallica, and the two cartoon teenagers who might have ruined a rock career.

After discussing Black Flag on the show recently, the guys resurrected this episode from summer of 2022 when they took a deep dive on Jello B and Dead Kennedys. Enjoy!
The guys trace a Beastie Boys sample back to some sweaty stage banter and an unlikely pairing on a rock n roll bill in 1986. Then they uncover the true crime tragedy that would eventually befall one of the story’s main characters.

The guys discuss the big announcement that recently came out of the camp of the Knights In Satan’s Service.
The guys get spooky with a letter asking for some clarity around the rumors enveloping a small town in Kansas – and they connect the conversation to topics as varied as a Gen Z starlet, Kurt Cobain, that one scene in Pulp Fiction and the ultimate rock n roll rumor concerning Robert Johnson and the Crossroads.

The guys get into the lore around Steve Paul’s The Scene, 60’s NYC, and that time The Lizard King tried to stick his face into Jimi Hendrix’s pants (and got Janis Joplin all riled up.)
