    Stub Stories – The Music Issue

    Stub Stories – The Music Issue Season 3 Episode 5 Sylvia and Ricky team up with producers Fabio and Clay to talk about the albums, tours, and live show news currently on their radar. Sylvia steps up to defend Madonna, breaking down the anticipation for Confessions 2, Stuart Price’s return behind the boards, Coachella moments with Sabrina Carpenter, and the lost art of perfume-scented cassettes. Meanwhile, Fabio gets into the massive rise of former CPA turned DJ star John Summit, while also taking a firm stand against high-top seating and live music interrupting dinner. Clay talks about Charley Crockett, from rogue album uploads to bolo tie meet-and-greets. Ricky dives into mature comeback records from The Starting Line, The Menzingers touring with Hot Water Music, Blink-182 taking a strategic breather, John Mayer’s next moves, and why Boston Calling stepping back shows festival gap years might be the move. Not like our usual episode, we just talk about what is grabbing our attention in Blue Dot Fever, from authentic songwriting and classic pop icons to arena beats and giving artists room to do their thing.
