Here's a bonus episode. Taking a break from the norm, we're covering a limited edition Fitz and The Tantrums EP record.
The gag is...this record is not about love. It's actually about breakups and heartaches and all that jazz.
We go further and share our opinion on the sappiest, cheesiest or actually pretty good love songs of all time.
Check it out!!!!
You can find this project on all streaming platforms but if you're looking for vinyl, check out discogs.com
You might be able to find this record on the band website fitzandthetantrums.com

Ok, first of all, how do you guys spelled it? Is it "rumors" or "rumours"? My spell check says the title of this album is incorrect but Fleetwood Mac is so confident behind the name. Now I don't know who to believe.
Nevertheless, this has been one of the greatest records of all time. Definitely in the top 100 greatest albums, probably top ten.
In this episode, we cover Fleetwood Mac's eleventh studio album Rumours. We discuss a few stories of the band, some songwriting props, and of course, our personal favorite tracks.

In this installment, we cover Radiohead's OK Computer. This was their third studio album released in 1997 and it is known to be their more experimental and abstract projects. We dive in and give a bit of backstory of the band and their creation (just like we do every episode). This was a first for Johnny as he's never sat down and actually listened to Radiohead. Check out this episode to hear his opinion (hehehehehe).

We're back and Johnny is taking us in with a great record!!!
This week, we cover Takin' It To The Streets by The Doobie Brothers.
This album was a treat to talk about. Especially with this band being one of his favorite and the band's singer being the great, soulful, bearded man with the golden voice Michael McDonald (Johnny is a super fan of this guy). Besides the fact, this band as whole and individually are awesome at what they do and surprisingly well connected in the industry. Listen as we mention some of the ties they have and their historic key moments.

First off, rest in peace, Eddie Van Halen.
In this episode, we discuss the legendary Van Halen and their sixth studio album 1984.
It's amazing to see all of the connections throughout the music industry (this person wrote for so and so, this person produced for such and such, etc.) It goes to show small the world really is. Take a listen as we dive into this album, the band, and some of the history behind the music.

Anybody here for the second installment?!?!?!
This week, we talked of Jimi Hendrix and his second album Axis: Bold As Love
This project has a very wide range and experimental sound. If you're fans of Jimi, you can almost tell exactly what was going through his mind in the making of this album...he was probably thinking "I'm gonna do what I want because I can"
Ultimately, he influenced genres and generations of rockers. Stay tuned next week for our third and final installment.

Got another episode...with a weird song title. Grateful Dead's Aoxomoxoa
The name is palindrome: A word that reads the same backward as forward. Fun Fact: the word means absolutely nothing.
However, the album is super cool. As well as the album art (check it out on our Youtube channel)

Sponsorships: on for this episode
THIS EPISODE RIGHT HERE?!?!?! This was a fun one!!! We have the legendary...the mighty...DJ Rob Swift. The original member of the turntables group X-ecutioners, he's worked with Cypress Hill, Fat Joe, Linkin Park, Blue Man Group and Herbie Hancock. He's with us today via zoom to talk about his 1999 album The Ablist.
This record is amazing, showing the turntables as an instrument in the band, and DJing as an art form. Even 20 years later, this album holds weight. We also had the opportunity to talk to Rob about the backstory behind creating the album, instrumentation and production, as well as his experience being a DJ in the Golden Era of Hip Hop.
The convo was so good, we had to break it into two parts. So, make sure you stay tuned for next week's episode!!!

Today, Johnny covers Earthtones by Bahamas. A folk album (we were not expecting Johnny to bring this one to the table).
