This episode also features a guest chat with the very person that introduced HP to this classic! Join HP as he freaks out (in a good way) to the magic of: The Wozard Of Iz by Mort Garson.

NOISE JUNKIES - Yacht Rock mini-episode

Yacht Rock. What do those 2 words really represent? For some, they conjure visions of moms & dads, wearing cheap captain’s hats and Hawaiian shirts, drunk and swaying to a live cover of Cool Change,. For others, it might mean listening to “dad rock” while being carpooled to a soccer game. For HP, and for many others, it means something more. But how deeply can we analyze a blatantly arbitrary genre label? Arbitrary even by the very minds that originally coined the term. Join HP on this special mini-episode of Noise Junkies, as he delves into the mystery, the majesty, of Yacht Rock.

NOISE JUNKIES - Strip Club from Hell

Few things can tap into our most base and primal urges quite like music. I'm talking pure, Grade AA, id fuel, baby. The right song can enhance the best and even middling, writhing, wriggling, and undulating dance. Imagine the visual image of all of your carnal fantasies moving to the beat of a song most delectable, seductive, and pray tell even raunchy. But, what if this infamous Salome had scabies? While she was shuckin' and jivin' in Nisquick, Alabama as the uterus drying tones of Mary McGregor's Tour Between Two Lovers plays? This is the unholy ground we are visiting tonight here on Noise Junkies. It's Strip Club from Hell time. There's a two drink minimum, and in the meantime, I hope you've all had your shots, because it's about to get straight up nasty.

NOISE JUNKIES - Spoken Word

What do Kiss frontman Paul Stanley and mentalist Uri Geller have in common? They both wittingly or unwittingly recorded their own spoken word albums. What started out in the 1940s as simple performances of classics, like A Christmas Carol and Othello, later morphed into weirder and more wonderful LPs featuring the likes of Elvis Presley and David Lynch. Tonight, the Noise Junkies discuss one of the more unique musical genres visited upon us.

Noise Junkies - Cover Songs

What makes a great cover song? Is it fidelity towards the original, or is it better to adopt a completely irreverent approach and tear it apart/build it back up? And what about cover bands? Or tribute bands? Join the Noise Junkies as we pull back the cover on Cover Songs.

Happy Dallas

Before you had the internet and algorithms telling you what underwear to put on we had to choose music for ourselves. And if you just listened to the radio you could easily be lost sucking a corporate dichotomy of what good music is. What really worked for us then was listening to people who were cooler and smarter than you but at the same time acting that cool and smart so they would still hang with you. The Noise Junkies are cooler and smarter than you and if you hang with them you will be musically cooler and smarter too!
