THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT is taking over most musical talk this weekend, so the guys dug back to Episode 147 to celebrate a certain track from Ms Swift’s back catalog and see what we can all learn from her about music history.
To celebrate the life of Dickey Betts (RIP, April 18, 2024), the guys revisit an episode from last November relating the drugs, chaos, and southern rock relatability that would define the Allman Brothers Band.
A photo of a whole lot of famous rockers in one place gets the guys researching a record label that redefined the way music was listened to and sold in 1970’s America.

The guys get into boy bands, big songs, and bad behavior (mixed with a little hotel history and a nod to classic literature) when a fan writes the show to ask about what really happened back in 1991 in their hometown of Louisville, KY when Jonathan, Jordan, Joey, Donnie and Danny came through for a night few would ever forget…
A listener inquiry finds Brian and Murdock calling on Lafe the Producer for help figuring out the lineage, the sex appeal and the lore that continues to encircle the name “Jeff Buckley.” What really went down on that Memphis riverside?

After discussing Black Flag on the show recently, the guys resurrected this episode from summer of 2022 when they took a deep dive on Jello B and Dead Kennedys. Enjoy!
The guys trace a Beastie Boys sample back to some sweaty stage banter and an unlikely pairing on a rock n roll bill in 1986. Then they uncover the true crime tragedy that would eventually befall one of the story’s main characters.

The guys get into the lore around Steve Paul’s The Scene, 60’s NYC, and that time The Lizard King tried to stick his face into Jimi Hendrix’s pants (and got Janis Joplin all riled up.)

In an attempt to be a little spooky on Halloween weekend, we have re-uploaded 2022’s spookiest episode about one band that pretends to be scary and isn’t – and one who claims they aren’t but very much ARE!
Brian and Murdock reach into the history of the 1970’s novelty song “Werewolves of London” and discover how it got the entire California scene singing along. Plus – they learn which crooner’s late-night movie viewing inspired it and the troubadour whose career would be defined by it.

Albums That Changed My Life is a spin-off podcast about Brian’s favorite albums. On this episode, he talks about his long-time love of Canadian rockers Our Lady Peace, and flips track-by-track through their 2005 record Healthy in Paranoid Times.

Hear the tale of an ancient accident and the family who turned it into a centuries-lasting business endeavor that would help define jazz and lead to rock n roll.
