    I Never Met a Bigfoot Documentary I Didn't Like

    The first movie that truly scared me wasn’t Jaws or Psycho. It was a bizarre 1970s documentary called The Legend of Bigfoot. I was five or six, and it convinced me that something could be hiding just beyond the tree line, watching. That fear followed me through Boy Scout trips, cabin stays, and every dark stretch of woods I’ve passed since. In this episode, I revisit the creepy music, blurry footage, dramatic narrators, and glorious showmanship of 1970s Bigfoot movies, including Sasquatch and The Legend of Boggy Creek. Bigfoot is still elusive. The footage is still terrible. And I’m still checking the woods.

    Depeche Mode - Violator

    By the late ‘80s, Depeche Mode had already evolved from their early synthpop roots into one of the most successful and influential alternative bands in the world. The group had built a devoted following with dark, electronic anthems, but their sound was still evolving. Music for the Masses had pushed them into stadiums, proving that electronic music could be as powerful live as rock music. But with Violator, Depeche Mode would transcend their status as cult heroes and become true mainstream icons.

    The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers

    Sticky Fingers, released in 1971, stands as one of The Rolling Stones' most iconic albums, blending blues, rock, and country in a way that solidified their reputation as rock legends. The album also marked several important milestones for the band: it was their first release on their own Rolling Stones Records label and the debut of their iconic tongue and lips logo. The record's mix of gritty rock and introspective ballads showcases the Stones at the peak of their creative powers, and its influence has endured for decades.

    The Smiths - The Queen is Dead

    In this episode we’re discussing The Smiths often considered quintessential album, The Queen is Dead. The Smiths are arguably my favorite band, and their singer Morrissey is arguably is my favorite artist. I love The Smiths and I don’t tell many people this, but I lean towards Morrissey solo over The Smiths.

    The Fixx Reach the Beach

    In this episode, we’re talking about one of my favorite bands from when I was in high school, The Fixx. We will also dig into my favorite Fixx album, Reach The Beach. When I moved to North County San Diego, in Oceanside California, I was exposed to new music from the alternative station 91X out of San Diego, and friends—especially my friend J.D. who was also a big fan of The Fixx. I heard a lot of their stuff on 91X, and J.D. copied me some of their early albums, and I became a big fan.

    Oingo Boingo and Dead Man's Party

    I discovered Oingo Boingo going to high school in southern California and listening to 91 X out of San Diego. I was attracted to this punky southern California band everyone seemed to love. They were fun, whacky, and had this interesting little halloweeny association, especially in southern California where for years they would do a run of epic shows in Los Angeles and San Diego. Eventually seeing them became a yearly thing for my friend Mike and me, lasting several years. We’d often see a couple of Halloween shows a year, whether at Irvine Meadows or San Diego State Open Air Theater. Even those couple of times towards the end without the horn section, believe it or not!

    The English Beat and General Public

    In this episode, we’re turning up the volume on The English Beat and General Public, bands that defied categorization and left an enduring legacy. The English Beat, often lumped into the ska revival of the late 1970s and early 1980s, was far more than just another two-tone band. Their music was a vibrant fusion of ska, reggae, punk, and pop, creating an infectious and thought-provoking sound. In 1980, The English Beat faced a crossroads. With creative differences emerging, the band decided to part ways. But the musical journey didn't stop for its members. Dave Wakeling, Ranking Roger, and a new lineup formed General Public. This new project departed from the ska-heavy sound of the English Beat, leaning more towards pop and new wave.
