I used to love making mixed tapes. It took hours to get the volume right, the segue perfect and have the tunes tell a story. It was the most intimate way to share thoughts and emotions with friends. It's a fact no mixed tapes were ever shared with people you didn't care about. With the impending death of the CD I'm up a creek. Sharing a playlist just doesn't cut it. The so-called death of physical media makes me miss going to record stores just to browse and converse with my fellow hunters. Record stores provided a social glue between friends and strangers who might soon be friends. We recognize there is a hole there and Rock Stamberg and I want to fill it for an hour or so on a regular basis. I have interviewed hundreds of musicians for various magazines and Rock is also a magazine editor and a major music enthusiast. Together we are stocked with backroom stories about musicians and endless tunes that most people have heard about — or not — but may have never heard. In each episode of NHT we'll wander into our own little record store, chat about music, and make you a mixed tape that will hopefully get you to where you're going. Everyone’s invited. And that's what we're talking about. —John Stix

So May We Start
So May We Start Tracklist: Please Leave a Comment! Sparks (featuring Adam Driver, Marion Cotillard, & Simon Helberg): “So May We Start” This is such an unusual song … but not for Sparks.

Boom Bapa Boom
Boom Bapa Boom! Tracklist: Please Leave a Comment! Jimmie Vaughan: “Boom Bapa Boom” A cool groove and a cool song. Nonsense lyrics be damned! –Rock Stamberg As a fan of brother Stevie Ray’s roar and conviction on the guitar, I found Jimmy Vaughan’s playing too tame for my taste. But upon hearing his […]

Let’s Get It On
Let’s Get It On Tracklist: Let us know by LEAVING A COMMENT! Fleetwood Mac: “Teen Beat (Outtake) [2016 Remaster] ” This is an outtake from Fleetwood Mac’s Mirage album from 1982. Featuring a somewhat unhinged Lindsey Buckingham coaxing Mick Fleetwood and John McVie to follow and enhance his fun romp, this is a […]

Ooh! My Soul
Ooh! My Soul Tracklist: Let us know by LEAVING A COMMENT! Little Richard: “Ooh! My Soul” This Little Richard screamer is a killer and always will be. Can you imagine what teenagers’ parents must’ve thought if they heard their little ones grooving to this monstrous recording in the ‘50s? I’m so glad this […]

Getting Better
Getting Better Tracklist: Let us know by LEAVING A COMMENT! Beatles: “Getting Better – Vocals Only” No matter how you slice ‘em up and whittle ‘em down, every aspect of The Beatles’ strengths always shone through. Such a great lyric, by the way. —Rock Stamberg This track sounds so good, so full, so […]
