You knew it had to happen soon or later.

Thanks to a pair of Nicks and one Liam for this suggestion. Hit play and get ready to dance on the head of a pin.

What Was First: SST Records
We wrap the week with the story of the first release on one of the most iconic indie labels of all time, California's SST Records.
We fly the flag for a raging slab of punk rock that came roaring out of Hermosa Beach and blazed a trail for countless non-conformists to follow.
Hit play and dive into the pit.

What Was First: Bloodshot Records
We are back on the What Was First bus today, with an episode suggested by some weird guy from the suburbia, a Mr. Jim Lenahan.

Hit play and get ready to live a life of sin.

Dylan & Hoffman II
Tim Hoffman leads the second part of our discussion of Bob Dylan's albums from the controversial 1976 -1981 era.
The bottom line? "Shot of Love" is a very key Dylan album.
Hit play to hear us gush.

Customer Reviews
Loved the Tom Petty Wildflowers and all the Rest conversation.
An update regarding availability of the song “Something Could Happen” (one of quite a few previously unreleased gems): Apple Music has had it available for online streaming as part of the 70 song Super Deluxe version since Friday’s release for its subscribers/trial memberships.
Thanks to this informative podcast. Have a few of the other questions up for future listens. These guys are thoughtful in their discussion and obviously avid listeners of music.
Enjoy Them But....
Really enjoy their lighthearted look at some of my favorite bands like The Replacements. Will say, they should probably avoid reviewing bands like Genesis. I feel like they got in over their heads and were dimisive of a lot of important events that transpired in the band-as well as not being aware of their early history which made for a disappointing result.
great no nonsense podcast about rock n roll
Longtime listener since its inception, and of its predecessor podcast, Dad Rock. Thoughtful, spirited conversation, often revelatory and always lighthearted (except when they do an RIP episode, which sadly happens now again). Like cracking a beer at a picnic table with a couple of your music fan friends.
