    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!

    Today we put 2025 fully in the rear-view, with Part Two of our Apple Music Replay series. Join us as Mark and Brad serve some choice cuts from their Best of/ Most of playlists.

    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. You can listen to it here (Apple, Spotify) Find the Playlist on Spotify + Apple Music.  If you like what you hear, please share, rate and review us!

    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!

    SHAZAM! (w/ Martin Solveig & Dragonette, Fugazi, X, and Peaches)

    That slick hook and spot-on beat playing over the PA in Target, at Cumberland Farms, in the venue before the headliner takes the stage: WHO IS THAT?  WHAT'S THAT SONG? We all have the Shazam app loaded on our phones, and it's wild to think that for more than half our lives (speaking for the Diarists), we did without it.  Here are four songs Bob, Brad, Mark, and Carla dialed up over Shazam.  Reach out to us with some of your own discoveries on Twitter and Insta.

    2024 Recap - Discoveries and Rediscoveries with The Cure, Pearl Jam, R.E.M., Blur and more

    It's never too late for a 2024 recap, right? In today's super-sized episode, Bob, Mark, Carla and Brad discuss their favorite new songs of 2024 and songs they rediscovered last year. Well...three of the four of us followed this plan. One of us interpreted this theme a bit differently. Will there be controversy over Pearl Jam? Will Mark recover after hearing a Human League album was rated and reviewed higher than the Cure's Disintegration?  Did Brad find a song from 2024 that he actually liked? Listen and find out.  Find the Playlist on Spotify + Apple Music and your Extras on Twitter and Instagram.  If you like what you hear, please share, rate and review us!
