The Cut Music

Mike, Brad and The Moosh

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. Nine songs. One theme. Zero filler. Welcome To The Cut Music New episodes every Monday
