E197: My Top 32 Beatles Songs

Apr 08 2025 47 mins  
Send us a text NFL Draft season is upon us, so I thought I would come up with my "first round picks" for a few of my favourite artists, thus the unconventional "Top 32." Last week was the Rolling Stones, so it's only fitting that we tackle the Beatles this week. As with my Stones list, I tried to stick to my personal favourites as the criteria, as opposed to "best" or "most impress

Send us a text NFL Draft season is upon us, so I thought I would come up with my "first round picks" for a few of my favourite artists, thus the unconventional "Top 32." We'll start with the Rolling Stones, but I'm planning on covering the Beatles and Led Zeppelin as well. I tried to stick to my personal favourites as the criteria, as opposed to "best" or "most impressive," so ther

Send us a text In this episode, I go over the factors I consider when determining what to wear to a concert. A friend of mine interviewed me about this for a school assignment of hers last week, and I had so much fun crafting my answers that I decided to record them!

E192: Grateful Dead — Ranking The 1974 Shows

Dec 22 2024 134 mins  
Send us a text In this, the Season 9 finale — as we've done for 1972 and 1973 the past two years, respectively — we rank the 1974 Grateful Dead shows in celebration of the 50th anniversary of that venerable year in their live history. This will likely be the last time I undertake this exercise, as they only played four shows during their "hiatus" in 1975, and both my interest a

E191: The Rolling Stones — 'Let It Bleed' 55th Anniversary

Dec 05 2024 48 mins  
Send us a text In this episode, we discuss the second instalment in the Rolling Stones' legendary four-album run from 1968-72, that being 'Let It Bleed,' released on this day in 1969. Few albums so accurately capture the mood of their time, and even fewer hit just as close to home 55 years later as they did on release day...

Nov 22 2024 35 mins  
Send us a text In this episode, we discuss Led Zeppelin's second album in celebration of the 55th anniversary of its October 1969 release. I forgot to mention this in the episode, but 'II' eventually unseated 'Abbey Road' from the top spot on the charts. In this way, with the Beatles' breakup privately decided and (relatively) soon-to-be-announced, this album really functioned as a

E189: Supertramp — 'Crime Of The Century' 50th Anniversary

Nov 08 2024 25 mins  
Send us a text In this episode, we discuss Supertramp's third album, 'Crime Of The Century,' in celebration of the 50th anniversary of its October 25, 1974 release. "Bloody Well Right" is one of the first songs — by anybody — that I recall really falling in love with, and was probably the most played song on my old iPod with the wheel, so I was excited to dig into this one.
