The Cut Music is a music-driven show where every episode starts with a question, a theme, or a challenge, then the hosts build a nine-song soundtrack around it. From forgotten deep cuts and legendary anthems to guilty pleasures, left turns, and songs that probably started an argument in somebody’s car, nothing is off limits. One week, we might ask which songs have the greatest intros ever recorded. The next, we might dig into celebrities who tried to become rock stars, artists who changed genres overnight, or the tracks that marked the beginning of one chapter while another one burned to the ground. Part music discovery, part sharp conversation, part controlled chaos, The Cut Music is built for people who still care about albums, liner notes, side projects, B-sides, and the stories hiding behind the speakers. 9 Songs. 1 Question. 0 Filter. Welcome To The Cut Music New episodes every Monday

    Singers With Great Vocal Control?

    Sponsor: Skillshare - Get Your First Month Free Vocal Control: The Singers Who Make the Impossible Sound Easy What makes a great singer great? On this episode of The Cut Music, Mike and the Moosh dive into the artists who have mastered their voices as instruments — from range and vibrato to rasp, vocal fry, breath control, dynamics, and the ability to completely change the character of a performance. They break down vocal performances from some of the most impressive singers in music, including Brandon Boyd, Miley Cyrus, LP, Steve Perry, Freddie Mercury, Mariah Carey, Brittany Howard, Adele, Hayley Williams, and Chris Cornell. Some are obvious choices, some are unexpected, but every one of them demonstrates a different kind of vocal control. This one gets deep into why these performances work, what makes certain techniques so difficult to replicate, and the moments that make you stop and think, “How the f**k did they just do that?” Chapters 00:00 — Whistle Tones & Vocal Control 01:00 — Welcome to The Cut Music 02:48 — What Is Vocal Control? 07:18 — Brandon Boyd & Incubus 15:21 — Miley Cyrus: The Metal Miley 22:05 — LP: Lost on You 27:51 — Steve Perry: The Voice of Journey 35:32 — Freddie Mercury & Bohemian Rhapsody 42:46 — Mariah Carey & Emotions 48:45 — Brittany Howard & Stay High 53:34 — Adele & Emotional Control 56:08 — Hayley Williams & Simmer 1:02:33 — Chris Cornell & Say Hello 2 Heaven 1:07:41 — Wrap-Up #TheCutMusic #VocalControl #Singers #Vocals #MusicDiscussion #MusicAnalysis #BrandonBoyd #Incubus #MileyCyrus #LP #StevePerry #Journey #FreddieMercury #Queen #MariahCarey #BrittanyHoward #Adele #HayleyWilliams #Paramore #ChrisCornell #TempleOfTheDog

    Its Time For Road Rage!

    Sponsor: GearUp Click here and use Pomo Code: TheCut This week on The Cut Music, road rage hits a little closer to home. After Moosh got rear-ended in a hit-and-run while Mike was in the car, the guys decided there was only one appropriate way to process it: build a playlist of songs you can—and probably have—road raged to. From Incubus and Vince Staples to N.W.A., Sammy Hagar, Rob Zombie, The Offspring, A Perfect Circle, and some seriously aggressive hardcore, Mike, Brad, and Moosh break down the songs that soundtrack everything from mild traffic frustration to full-blown “I’m going to commit vehicular manslaughter” levels of rage. Along the way, they revisit their respective hit-and-run histories, argue about Long Beach traffic, debate Van Halen vs. Van Hagar, discover the most white-privileged song about justice ever recorded, pitch the next great tribute band—Bob Zombie—and somehow end up talking about Moosh's animated furry fetish. So buckle up, stay out of the left lane, and whatever you do… wait for the f-ing light to turn green! This is The Cut Music: Road Rage!

    Sponsor: SeatGeek Click the link to book tickets to your next event with no hidden fees! The Cut Music crew rolls the dice and lands in January 1978—an era of disco, sci-fi fever, immaculate studio musicianship, and some wonderfully weird chart hits. Mike, Moosh, and Brad dig into songs that ruled the Billboard Hot 100, from Dolly Parton’s irresistible “Here You Come Again” to the cosmic disco of Meco, the genre-hopping drama of Styx, and the smooth brilliance of Steely Dan. Along the way, they celebrate Karen Carpenter’s extraordinary musicianship, unpack Randy Newman’s “Short People,” find the spiritual fire in Earth, Wind & Fire, give Michael McDonald his flowers, and discover that Cheech & Chong’s “Bloat On” may be the most Brad song ever recorded. Close things out with Odyssey’s funky New York anthem—and enjoy plenty of tangents, bad jokes, and record-collector talk along the way.
