    Mixtape Rewind to the Week of May 18, 1985 (with Madonna, Bryan Adams, Tears for Fears and The Power Station)

    Mixing it up (ha) with the roster for this one, as special guests Sam and Alli stop in to reminisce about the good old days.  Today's songs are pulled from Billboard's Top 20 around this time in 1985. Lots of fun options here, but we boiled it down to Madonna, the Power Station, Tears for Fears, and Sam's beloved Bryan Adams.  We'll have to take a raincheck on Animotion, DeBarge and Diamond Dave. Put on your Jams and rubber bracelets and join us for this 41-year rewind! ---- Find the Playlist on Spotify + Apple Music.  If you like what you hear, please share, rate and review us!

    Oasis Vibes in the Area...Oasis Live '25 Recap

    Does anyone fancy some lasagna? While our bucket hats and tour jerseys may be safely tucked away, we are still yearning for Oasis Summer. From the moment we got our presale codes the excitement continued to build until we found ourselves in Wembley Stadium and the Rose Bowl for the concert event of the summer.  In this episode, we recap everything from purchasing our tickets through watching the Gallagher boys rip through the songs that defined our youth. It was an epic summer and one that deserved its own episode.  You gotta roll with it, little by little until you bring it on down to Champagne Supernova. Oasis vibes will always be in the area.  -- Read Carla's recap of Oasis Live '25 at her Substack, Wax Puddle. Check out Brad's Substack, Take Take the Noise in My Head.

    We Want Our MTV ... Back? (feat. Duran Duran, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, 'Til Tuesday, and Björk)

    Reports of the death of Music Television were greatly exaggerated—or 25 years late, depending on your point of view.  Wherever you stand on that question, we Gen Xers thought we'd set aside an hour to talk about four of our favorites from the good old days. Hush, hush, Rio—and don't come around here full of love no more. Find the Playlist on Spotify + Apple Music.  If you like what you hear, please share, rate and review us!

    Ripped from Apple Music Replay, Part 1 (feat. The Beths, Lola Young, Turnstile, Wednesday and more)

    With nearly every app giving us some history of our activity this year, we decided to share with you three songs each that made their way onto our Apple Music Replay playlists.  This is a super-sized, two-part episode. In today's episode, Bob and Carla share their picks, a few of which come with some controversy and some attitude. Have Bob and Carla formed their own alliance? Will Brad and Mark ever listen to a band from the current year and actually like them? You'll have to tune in to find out.    Find the Playlist on Spotify + Apple Music.  If you like what you hear, please share, rate and review us!

    Remembering Mani: A Tribute to The Stone Roses' bass player

    Today we pay tribute to one of rock music's most legendary bass players, Gary "Mani" Mounfield of The Stone Roses and Primal Scream. We lost Mani in late November - far too soon. As tributes have poured in from many of our favorite bands including Oasis and Richard Ashcroft, we wanted to pay our own tribute to honor the man whose music and signature bass lines have left a lasting mark on all of us.  In this episode, Brad and Carla reference The Rockonteurs podcast episode featuring Mani that aired in October.

    Songs from Sixteen Candles (w/ AC/DC, The Revillos, Altered Images, Thompson Twins)

    What'sa happenin' hot stuff? Bob, Brad, Carla and Mark are back to discuss one of our favorite movies, John Hughes' first feature film, Sixteen Candles. This movie did not have an official soundtrack, but the songs featured in it are a killer combination of new wave, post punk and rock 'n' roll. Here are four songs we felt would have made the soundtrack cut.  Find the Playlist on Spotify + Apple Music.  If you like what you hear, please share, rate and review us!
