Back beats and Breakdowns is made up of two guys who know a thing or two about music...literally one or two things. Nothing is off the table when it comes to the beats that shape our culture and us as individuals. It's possible we will have some breakdowns, mostly mental. Life is too short and music is everywhere...Let's have some fun.

    21 - I bent my wookie

    Sup nerds? We're talking Star Wars, John Williams, the Teflon Don, and a few dead peeps for good measure. Stephen had to do the family duty, so Justin is joined by Triple B Veteran Dan and newcomer to the cast Quentin. 3 middle-aged men talking about Star Wars on a podcast? What a fresh and new idea! Happy Star Wars day!

    18 - Not Quite 50 Shades of Grey

    Happy Saint Patrick's Day Week!! Back from an exhausting trip to Phoenix, Stephen & Justin recount their travel woes before getting into their conversation about Danger Mouse's Grey Album...like waaaayy before. Justin performs a few Irish numbers as we move towards St Patrick's Day and some controversy on Stephen's birthday, back in 2004. We hope you enjoy this week's conversation, it is good to be back!

    17 - Does Movie Need Song?

    In this episode, Justin and Stephen talk about a handful of random "today in music history" facts, then transition into a loose topic, accompanied by anecdotes and other whimsical stories. So, it's like every other episode. But in this one they talk about music and its relationship with motion pictures! It's a good time to be a podcast listener!

    16 - And the Grammy Goes To...

    In retrospect, the recording of this episode was not timed right...so next year we'll get it right, and not talk about the Grammy's at all. BUT for this year, join Justin and Stephen as they talk about the Gramophone and those who are lucky enough to receive it (or is it rigged?). This episode is brought to you by Dr. Pepper Green, unofficially of course, and features some impressions so good that you might think Adele and Mike Tyson joined the fellas for this one. So if you like the Grammy's as much as we do...cough cough...join us.

    15 - We're going streaking!

    WARNING - the following podcast starts with a conversation about yucky and stupid spiders...and Justin brings up not one, but TWO different bathroom stories. In this episode the Back Beat Boys get into novelty songs, talk about Chuck Berry's ding-a-ling some more, and crack the case on geo-political issues and their impacts on the human psyche over the decades...probably. Enjoy!

    14 - Crumb-believable One Hit Wonders

    Join Stephen & Justin as they discuss the magic of the one hit wonder. Did you know the #1 rated one hit wonder is the Macarana? Well don't get your hopes up because they don't discuss that at all, but it is a fun dance...The guys discuss controversy over Bittersweet Symphony (where Stephen gets most everything wrong for a change), Stephen stumps Justin with a song from his middle school dance days, and Justin just can't stop talking about the Snow...

    13 - America's Idol, Pat Boone, is the Devil

    This is a rollercoaster of a podcast, so buckle in! Stephen and Justin talk through everything from how much of an influence music actually has on our actions, to American Idol, to the latest social media crazes, and remember the time Pat Boone sold his soul for earthly fame. You don't want to miss this!
