Schizophrenic Music: Recent Episodes
Craig Vennes & Kevin Glubke
Schizophrenic Music in more than just a podcast, it's a casual conversation between 2 passionate music fans that illustrates how music makes their world a better place to live in. There is no pretense, we like what we like and we absolutely love to talk about it. Concerts, new album releases, what we listened to on the way to work...you name it. If it involves the music we love (or even hate) we'll share it with the world if they're willing to listen.

Craig and Kevin jump forward to 2023 for this week's spotlights. Craig picks Altitude, Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives' first new album in five years — a cosmic-country trip through dreamers, drifters, and desert-flavored twang that stakes Stuart's claim as one of country's great living traditionalists. Kevin counters with Stephen Marley's Old Soul, a stripped-down, acoustic-leaning reggae record born out of pandemic-era jam sessions and stacked with guest turns from Eric Clapton, Bob Weir, and his own Marley brothers.
From there, the conversation opens up into a bigger question: what happens when an artist gets a second (or fifth) life? The guys talk through acts who've built new audiences around their current work rather than trading on nostalgia for their commercial peak — running the gamut from Pete Yorn and Rodney Crowell to L.A. Guns and Stryper, and what it takes for a band or artist to actually earn that kind of reinvention instead of just coasting on it.

This week Craig and Kevin head to 1986 for two very different debut albums. Craig opens with the self-titled solo debut from Peter Case — the former Nerves/Plimsouls frontman's pivot from power pop to acoustic-leaning Americana, a record T-Bone Burnett helped shape into what The New York Times called the best album of the year. Kevin swings hard in the opposite direction with Zeno's self-titled debut, the melodic hard rock project fronted by Zeno Roth (younger brother of Uli Jon Roth) — all soaring harmonies, keyboard-driven hooks, and unmistakably German AOR muscle.
From there, the guys dig into whether album reviews actually match the scores critics slap on them — do the words back up the number, or is something getting lost in translation? They close things out with a listening-habits edition of Dig It or Dump It.

Craig and Kevin roll the clock back to 1974 for this week's overlooked-and-underrated dig. Kevin goes deep into library music territory with Stefano Torossi's Feelings — a cult Italian jazz-funk record cut under pseudonyms for contractual reasons, later prized by crate-diggers for its cinematic grooves and breakbeats. Craig counters with Ronnie Lane's solo debut Anymore for Anymore, the Small Faces/Faces alum's first outing with his band Slim Chance — a loose, rootsy, farmhouse-recorded record that traded arena rock for folk and country warmth.
Then, at the request of Craig's sister-in-law Paulina, the guys step way outside their usual lane for a surprise review: Olivia Rodrigo's new album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love. Two guys who live in 1974 take on 2026 pop — results may vary.

After comparing notes, both hosts agreed that UFO by Jim Sullivan would have been their shared Album of the Week. Rather than doubling up, they decided to dig a little deeper and each bring a runner-up selection to the table.
Craig shines a light on Fast Fingers by Jimmy Dawkins, a blues record packed with sharp guitar work and Chicago grit. Kevin counters with Orgasm by Head Machine, a heavy and often-overlooked psychedelic hard rock release that showcases a very different side of 1969.

Kevin kicks things off with Fastway’s self-titled debut, a hard-hitting blend of bluesy riffs and arena-ready energy that helped define early ‘80s hard rock.

For their Albums of the Week, they rewind to 1998.

From there, the conversation shifts to Mardi Gras, which happens to fall on the day of recording. Craig and Kevin explore New Orleans’ massive influence on American music, from jazz and funk to R&B and bounce — and how cultural celebrations shape musical identity.

- Upcoming UK and Korean music awards

- A major pop artist selling their catalog — what does it mean when legacy artists cash out?
- The cultural and streaming impact of this year’s Super Bowl halftime show.
- The new era of online music media, where paywalls and subscription models are becoming increasingly common — is this sustainable, or does it limit discovery?

The conversation then shifts toward something more personal: how their musical tastes have changed over the years. While both hosts grew up immersed in classic rock, hard rock, and metal, they’ve slowly gravitated toward modern soul, instrumental hip-hop, and experimental textures.

Let Us Know Your Thoughts!
Craig and Kevin shake things up in Episode 31, leading off with their underrated/overlooked album picks from 2008, a year rich in genre mashups and shifting sounds as digital took hold.
Then it’s time to debut some brand-new segments:
🎯 Dig It / Dump It / Don’t Get It – Craig hits Kevin with 10 polarizing artists, genres, or food choices and Kevin responds with gut-check honesty.
🔫 Top 5 On the Fly (Metaphorical Gun to Your Head) – Kevin flips the format and throws a surprise artist Craig’s way, asking for a top 5 song list, no time to think, no room to dodge.
They close things out with this week’s playlist feature:

From there it’s on to Rate It, with each host firing off 1–10 style prompts — from hot takes to guilty pleasures to genre gut checks.
Then it’s time to rewind to 1984, a year dominated by pop megastars and synth-driven radio — but also home to a wealth of overlooked and underrated albums. Each host brings one to the spotlight, pulling back the curtain on records that may have gotten buried beneath the glitz and chart-toppers.

This week, Craig steers the ship with a fresh batch of Rate It and Either/Or prompts for Kevin — covering everything from genre gut-checks to impossible album choices. Quick takes, strong opinions, and probably a little friendly tension.
Then they roll into album highlights from 2012, each picking one underrated or overlooked release from a year when indie was peaking, hip-hop was evolving, and streaming was starting to shift the game.
Finally, the duo close out with this week’s Soundtrack to...

This week, Craig and Kevin bring the noise and the nostalgia — starting with a round of Craig’s Music Trivia, putting Kevin’s brain (and memory) to the test with a few stumper questions right out the gate.
Then it’s time for Rate It and Either/Or, with both hosts trading turns at challenging each other with rapid-fire music topics, ranking prompts, and forced-choice dilemmas.
From there, they dial things back to 1978, each spotlighting an underrated or overlooked album from a year where disco peaked, punk spit, and classic rock continued to evolve in wild directions.
Finally, the duo wrap things up with this week’s entry in their signature playlist series:
🎶 The Soundtrack to… Cleaning Your Parents’ House as a Child
Each host brings 5 songs that instantly transport them back to weekend chores, vacuuming to vinyl, and wondering why cleaning took all day. It's nostalgia through sound — and the playlist might just trigger some muscle memory.

This week, Kevin and Craig keep the format sharp and the conversation loose — starting with a round of Rate It, as Kevin tosses a batch of songs Craig’s way for instant 1–10 ratings. Honest takes only. No lifelines.
Then Craig hits Kevin (and the audience) with a fresh round of “Did You Know?” — sharing a music fact, backstory, or bit of lesser-known trivia designed to blow minds or spark some serious sidebars.
From there, the duo step back in time to 1962, each spotlighting an underrated or overlooked album from one of the most transitional years in modern music — pre-British Invasion, post-Elvis dominance, and right on the cusp of cultural shift.
Finally, they close it out with the latest edition of their recurring series:
🎶 The Soundtrack to… Songs That Converted You to a Fan
Each host brings 5 songs that made them fall in love with a band or artist — the moment that tipped the scale from “they’re alright” to “I’m all in.” It’s all about the turning points, the hooks that landed, and the tracks that turned curiosity into obsession.

From there, Craig throws in another trivia twist, hitting Kevin with questions meant to stump, surprise, or spark a spontaneous tangent (or all three).
Then the duo rewind to 1980, each picking an underrated or overlooked album from a year that straddled decades and genres — where classic rock evolved, punk splintered, and new wave started sneaking through the radio static.
Finally, they close out with a brand-new edition of their running series:
🎶 The Soundtrack to… The Grocery Store That Only Plays Deep Cuts
Each host brings 5 songs to the register — trading off track-by-track — to build a playlist for the kind of store where no Billboard chart has ever dared tread. Think crate-digging background noise that turns heads in the frozen food aisle.

Craig and Kevin are still livin’ in the ‘90s — and they’re not mad about it. This week, the focus is on 1994, a year loaded with grunge holdouts, alt-rock breakthroughs, and a wave of overlooked albums that deserve another spin. Each host brings one underrated record to the table, continuing the Schizo tradition of digging deep beyond the obvious.
From there, it’s time for a round of Rate It, where Kevin fires off ten quick-hit topics for Craig to rate 1–10 — and then Craig flips the script with his own batch of rating challenges for Kevin.
Then it’s on to Either/Or, followed by another round of Craig’s ongoing 5-Hint Artist Challenge:
🎯 Can Kevin guess the mystery artist they both love before the final clue? Or will Craig throw him off the scent once again?
Finally, they close things out with their new signature segment:
🎶 The Soundtrack to… Getting Pumped Up Before a Game

This week, Craig and Kevin are back in full force — covering more ground than a double LP and still finding space to shake things up.
They kick things off with a return to the tried-and-true: spotlighting underrated or overlooked albums from 1995 — a year drenched in alt-rock, grunge’s fading glow, and the rise of genre-blending misfits.
Next, it’s time for not one, but two rounds of "Rate It":
🎯 Kevin tosses 10 rapid-fire topics at Craig for 1–10 ratings
🎯 Craig fires back with his own set of curveballs
No time to overthink. Just score it and stand by it.
Then it’s onto Either/Or, followed by a brand-new twist:
🕵️♂️ Craig’s Artist Clue Game — 5 rounds of hints describing a beloved artist.
Can Kevin guess before the final clue drops? Or will Craig stump the pod?
Finally, they close things out with the debut of a brand-new segment:

Craig and Kevin kick things off by taking each other to task in a fresh round of the Schizo Hot Seat — rapid-fire Either/Or album selections, 10 rounds, winner stays on the board. Quick instincts, strong opinions, no lifelines.
Then Craig raises the stakes with a new layer: Rate It.
He throws 10 music-related topics at Kevin — anything from genres and trends to album formats and fuzzy concepts — and asks for a 1–10 rating, with Kevin forced to lock it in and (maybe) explain himself afterward. Zero prep. All gut.
Next, they shift gears and dive into their albums of the week, spotlighting two underrated or overlooked records from 2010 — a year where indie exploded, pop got experimental, and some now-iconic acts were just getting started.
Finally, the conversation winds into something more reflective:
🎤 What happens when artists disappear?
Craig and Kevin explore the phenomenon of musicians who seem to vanish — no farewell tour, no breakup post, no warning — and whether the mystique is intentional, frustrating, or part of the mythology.

Craig and Kevin kick things off with the return of the Schizo Hot Seat — a 10-round, no-skips showdown where it’s album vs. album, and the winner moves on to face the next contender. Think musical March Madness with zero brackets and maximum gut instinct. Will classics reign, or will personal bias break the system? Either way, only one album survives each round.
Next, they take it all the way back to 1964, spotlighting two overlooked or underrated albums from a pivotal year in music history. Sure, the Beatles and Stones were taking over, but Craig and Kevin dig deeper to highlight the lesser-known gems that still hold weight.
Then it’s time for the heart of the episode: World Music 🌍
After discovering a new album that opened his ears, Craig turns to Kevin for guidance — asking when and how he first got into global sounds, and where he goes to find fresh discoveries today. From Afrobeat to Latin psych, Southeast Asian funk to Middle Eastern jazz, the conversation winds through decades and continents of musical treasure.

It’s Episode 20 and the Schizo boys are still going strong — and a little unpredictable. Craig and Kevin kick things off with another round of Either/Or Hot Seats, throwing ten rapid-fire choices at one another that force some tough (and occasionally absurd) musical decisions.
From there, it’s time to rewind to 1991 — a year packed with genre-defining albums and seismic shifts in the music landscape. Naturally, Craig and Kevin each bring one underrated or overlooked record from the year that helped shape the ‘90s sound — without just playing the hits.
And just when Kevin thinks the ride is winding down, Craig drops a surprise shuffle twist:
🎲 The AllMusic Album Shuffle — Kevin shuffles his library and selects five random albums. Craig researches each one on AllMusic.com, reads the official rating, and challenges Kevin to:
- Guess the AllMusic rating, and
- Say whether he agrees or not
It’s half trivia, half taste check, and fully chaotic.

Craig and Kevin flip the format this week, ditching the Schizo Shuffle and skipping the album cover battles — instead, they jump straight into the fire by putting each other on the hot seat with rapid-fire questions, unexpected prompts, and mildly uncomfortable musical truths.
Once the flames settle, they spotlight two underrated or overlooked albums from 1987, offering a fresh listen to a year that gave us hair metal highs, alt-rock beginnings, and pop polish with bite.
The conversation then turns introspective as they dive into the topic of music reviews — how they’ve changed from the golden days of Rolling Stone, Spin, and NME to today’s world of algorithm-fed opinions, YouTube reactors, and scores without context.
Finally, Craig throws down a challenge for both hosts moving forward:
🎯 Spend more time outside your personal genre comfort zone — and review albums that wouldn’t normally make the rotation. The goal? Stretch the ears. Challenge the bias. Embrace the unexpected.

This week, Craig and Kevin start things off with the Schizophrenic Shuffle — their ongoing audio roulette where five randomly shuffled tracks are shared, digested, and categorized into three distinctive reactions:
🎧 Highlight – The song that stood tall
🪞 Reminder – A blast from the past
🚪 New Introduction – A welcome musical stranger
Then it’s time to zoom in on 2024, the most recent year they’ve tackled to date. Each host brings a still-under-the-radar album from the past year that’s worth revisiting (or discovering for the first time). With so much music released weekly, these selections aim to cut through the noise and spotlight what might’ve been missed.
Finally, they close things out with a round of Either/Or — ten head-to-head musical face-offs where Craig and Kevin make impossible choices with no room for hedging — and then…
🎨 Album Cover Challenge: Craig throws Kevin a visual curveball, asking him to pick between a series of iconic (or delightfully obscure) album covers, purely based on art and instinct.

Craig and Kevin kick things off with their Schizophrenic Shuffle, where both hosts shuffle their personal libraries, trade five tracks, and return with one song in each of these categories:
🎧 Highlight – The standout track of the week
🪞 Reminder – A nostalgic return
🚪 New Introduction – A track they hadn’t really explored before
Then it’s time to lock in some snap judgments with Rate This, the game where Kevin and Craig rate albums, artists, or topics on a 1–10 scale — no warmups, no explanations (at least not right away).
And of course, it wouldn’t be a Schizo episode without Either/Or — ten rounds of musical face-offs where only one pick survives. May the best record win.
They cap things off by diving into the new millennium in style with the year 2000, unearthing underrated or overlooked albums from a year loaded with alt-rock holdovers, rap-rock chaos, and indie breakthroughs. Each host brings a pick that deserves another listen — no Limp Bizkit in sight (we hope).
From Y2K nostalgia to modern-day music hot takes, it’s another unpredictable ride with the Schizo boys.

Craig and Kevin rewind to 1992, a year where grunge officially cracked the mainstream, hip-hop kept evolving, and alternative rock started to take over the airwaves. True to form, they each bring one overlooked or underrated album to the table — records that might’ve been drowned out by the buzz of the big hitters, but still pack a serious punch.
Then it’s time for another round of the Schizophrenic Shuffle, where Craig and Kevin trade five randomly shuffled tracks from their personal libraries, listen during the week, and return to slot them into three categories:
🎧 Highlight – The undeniable banger
🪞 Reminder – A song that sparked memory
🚪 New Introduction – A track they hadn’t spent time with… until now
Next, they heat things up with Rate This, where one host throws a band, album, or concept at the other and demands a quick-fire 1–10 rating — no explanations required (until the shouting starts).
They follow that up with the classic head-to-head game: Either/Or, album edition. Ten rounds. Two choices. One survivor. And zero fence-sitting.
Then, Craig caps off the episode with the album cover challenge, but this time all coming from albums released in 1992. Kevin chooses not the best, but the worst!
It’s 1992 through the Schizo lens — unpredictable, opinionated, and full of deep listening energy.

This week, Craig and Kevin dive into the often-overlooked corners of 1976, each bringing an underrated album from a year often dominated by disco and denim. Expect deep grooves, unexpected picks, and a little rock ‘n roll rebellion.
Then it’s time for the Schizo Music Shuffle — where both hosts shuffle their personal libraries, trade 10 songs, listen over the course of the week, and return ready to assign each track into one of these three categories:

🚪 New Introduction – Something new that left a mark

Craig and Kevin fire up Two Albums, One Year with a return to the not-so-distant past: 2021. Each brings an underrated or overlooked album from that year — gems that got lost in the noise of algorithmic overload and pandemic playlists.
Then it’s the return of the Schizo Music Shuffle — the reimagined format where each host shuffles their personal collection, shares five tracks with the other, and listens throughout the week. They return ready to place those songs into three distinct categories:
🎧 Highlight – The track that stood above the rest
🪞 Reminder – A song that stirred a memory
🚪 New Introduction – Something new that left a mark

This week, Craig and Kevin head back to 1982 — a year pulsing with synths, new wave edges, and major shifts in the musical landscape. Each host brings an underrated or overlooked album from that year, diving into what made it special then, and why it still deserves a spin now.
But instead of their usual Schizophrenic Shuffle, Craig throws a curveball and shifts gears into the future — the two wrap up the episode by scanning the horizon and discussing upcoming releases slated for the next couple of months. Which ones are worth watching? Which artists are due for a return to form? And is rock finally sneaking back into the spotlight?
It’s equal parts retro rewind and forward-thinking radar — all in true Schizo style.

This week, Craig and Kevin plug into 2006, a year buzzing with indie breakthroughs, MySpace hype, and post-millennial genre mashups. Each host brings one underrated or overlooked album from that chaotic yet creatively rich year — the kinds of records that might’ve been blog favorites but never got the long-term love they deserved.
Then it’s time for the latest round of their reimagined Schizophrenic Shuffle — a weekly exchange that’s become part playlist swap, part personal time capsule. Here’s the format:
- Each host shuffles their personal collection and pulls five tracks
- They find each song on Apple Music and send them to each other
- After listening to each track in full over the week, they return to the mic ready to break them down in four categories:
🎧 Highlight – The top track of the shuffle
💤 Lowlight – The one that didn’t land
🪞 Reminder – A song that stirred up nostalgia
🚪 New Introduction – A fresh find that left a mark
From forgotten deep cuts to unexpected rediscoveries, it’s another week of pure Schizo energy.

This week, Craig and Kevin rewind to the tail end of the '70s for a Two Albums, One Year spotlight on 1979 — a year where disco clashed with punk, synths started creeping in, and genre lines were beginning to blur. As always, they each bring an underrated or overlooked album from that year — records that slipped through the cracks in a decade overflowing with iconic releases.
Then it’s time for the ongoing experiment that is the revamped Schizophrenic Shuffle — the new listening ritual that turns random track pulls into full-week explorations. Here’s how it works:
Craig and Kevin each shuffle their digital libraries
They pull five random songs and find them on Apple Music
They send them to each other and listen in full over the week
On the pod, they assign each song to one of these four categories:

🪞 Reminder – A memory-lane moment
🚪 New Introduction – A first-time spin that left a mark
It’s a thoughtful, unexpected journey through personal collections — and this week’s batch delivers on both the nostalgia and the surprises.

As always, each host brings one underrated or overlooked album from that year — the kinds of records that may have gotten lost in the shadow of the bigger names, but still hold plenty of weight 30 years later.

This week, Craig and Kevin set the dials for 1972, one of rock’s most iconic years — but instead of focusing on the obvious heavy-hitters, they spotlight two underrated or overlooked albums that deserve more love in the classic rock canon. Expect deep cuts, unexpected picks, and the usual musical detours.
After the trip to ’72, the guys fast-forward to present day for a look at this year’s AMA nominees — and it’s exactly as predictable as you'd expect. They break down the categories, the glaring genre gaps, and the ongoing lack of legitimate Rock representation in major music awards. Is rock dead… or just ignored?
From vintage vinyl to modern music politics, it’s another wild ride on the Schizo express.

This week, Craig and Kevin head all the way back to 1961, each picking an overlooked or under-appreciated album from a year that laid the groundwork for the music explosion to come. They dig into the sounds, styles, and why these records still deserve a spin in 2025.
After the trip to ’61, they dive into what might just be their final Schizophrenic Shuffle — randomly pulling five tracks each from their digital libraries and giving those familiar thumbs up, thumbs down, or thumbs sideways reactions one more time (for now...).
But just when Kevin thinks the episode is winding down, Craig has a surprise up his sleeve:
Enter Classic Rock Magazine’s “The REAL Top 100 Albums of the ’70s.”
Before revealing the theme, Craig challenges Kevin to blindly pick five random numbers between 11 and 100 — then unveils what the list is all about, capped off with a run through the Top 10 albums according to the magazine’s alternate take on the decade.
It’s a deep cut celebration, a shuffle send-off, and a little 1970s curveball all wrapped into one episode.

🗓️ Two Albums, One Year – 1961
🎲 The (Possibly) Final Schizophrenic Shuffle

Craig and Kevin rewind to 1966, digging past the usual Beatles-Stones-Dylan trinity to spotlight two albums from that iconic year that they feel deserve more love. Each host brings one underrated or overlooked record to the table — albums that may have flown under the radar then, or just haven’t gotten the same legacy shine over the decades.
From hidden gems to deep cuts, it’s a celebration of sonic storytelling from a year that helped shape the sound of modern music.
To close things out, they return to their ritual: the Schizophrenic Shuffle — where each host blindly selects five tracks from their personal digital collection and the other responds with a thumbs up, thumbs down, or thumbs sideways if it's unfamiliar territory. Surprises (and hot takes) guaranteed.

This week, Two Albums, One Year turns into Three Albums, One Year as Craig and Kevin welcome a special guest to the pod (Shawn from Re-vinyl) for their 2011 deep dive. Each of the three brings an underrated or overlooked album from 2011, sparking conversation around what slipped through the cracks that year, and why these records still hold up a decade later.
After the album roundtable, things get chaotic (in the best way) with the first-ever 3-person Schizophrenic Shuffle — where each of them hits random on their digital collections and tosses out five tracks for group judgment. Expect musical curveballs, unexpected thumbs-downs, and plenty of “wait, what is this?” moments.
It’s a stacked episode full of discovery, debate, and the kind of music-nerd chemistry that defines the Schizo pod.

Craig and Kevin kick off a round of Two Albums, One Year, this time diving into the criminally overlooked corners of 2014. Each brings a handpicked album from that year they believe didn’t get the attention it deserved — and talk through what makes it worth rediscovering.
Next up, they spin the wheel on Shuffle Roulette, pulling 5 random tracks from their personal libraries and rating each other’s picks with a thumbs up, thumbs down, or the classic thumbs sideways for those “ehhh... not sure I know this one” moments.
They close out with a conversation on overhyped albums — how over-the-top critical acclaim or fan expectations can actually work against a band, and whether some albums ever really recover from that initial pressure.

This week, Craig and Kevin crack open their digital music vaults for a little game of Shuffle Roulette. First, they break down how they choose which albums to actually sit down and play. Then they each hit shuffle on their libraries and take turns revealing their first five songs — one track at a time.
The other has to respond with a thumbs up, thumbs down, or thumbs sideways (meaning... yeah, might’ve missed that one). Naturally, the conversation meanders into side stories, musical tangents, and some healthy disagreement along the way.
Grab your headphones — it's part nostalgia trip, part music discovery, and pure Schizo Pod chaos.

After a long (and much-needed?) hiatus since 2022, Craig and Kevin are officially back with V2 of the Schizophrenic Music Podcast — and they're picking up right where they left off: unscripted, unpredictable, and unapologetically obsessed with all things music.
In this episode, the guys catch you up on what’s been going on during the break — creatively, personally, and musically. From late-night jam sessions to the challenges of recording, they dig into the differences between playing live vs. recording in the studio, and what makes each one its own kind of high.
They also unpack the weird world of cover bands vs. tribute bands — is one more legit than the other? Is there artistry in imitation? Where do we draw the line?
Finally, they muse about the future of music festivals — post-pandemic evolution, indie takeovers, AI-generated acts(?), and what’s missing from the current scene.
Expect real talk, deep dives, a little bit of chaos, and a lot of passion for music in all its forms.
🔊 Topics Covered:
- Where Craig & Kevin have been since 2022
- Recording music vs. playing live
- The psychology (and politics?) of cover bands vs. tribute bands
- Predictions and hot takes on the future of music festivals
- Hints at what’s coming next on the pod

This week we take inspiration from a recent discussion on our Facebook Group. There seems to be a perception that as we get older, we're less likely to attend live shows. In fact, some people simply stop going to concerts once they reach a certain age. Why is that? While we don't fall into that camp, we would love to hear from those who do. So, what do you think?

Hip-hop took center stage last Sunday night and ushered in a new era of sorts. It's hard to believe it took this long when really you think about it. While the reviews were largely favorable, and we agree with the majority, not everyone liked what they saw. And that's cool too. That's the beauty of music really, everything isn't going to appeal to everyone, but everyone should be open to anything. At least that's how we feel. What do you think?

Comfort zones can be found in so many facets of our lives. From the food we eat to the movies we watch, much of what we take in resides in our own personal comfort zones. Music is certainly no exception, especially with such a wide variety of options available to us, but it seems most people don't explore these options. Why is that? Could it be they simply don't have time to seek things out? The musical landscape is as enormous as it's ever been and exploring an uncharted territory can be quite the experience. So, if you're feeling adventurous, maybe try branching out a bit. You might just enjoy it!

Is image everything? That was certainly the case for heavy metal & hard rock bands back in the 80's, but the music scene quickly shifted in a different direction in the early 90's. Grunge was king and anything glamorous or flamboyant in appearance was no longer cool; quite the opposite actually. To this day there is a stigma attached to bands associated with the glam metal scene, even if they weren't technically glam metal. But if you stripped away the visual and simply listened to the music being played, would you hear it differently? We would venture to say yes, but we're admittedly biased since we grew up loving heavy metal. So, what do you think? Can you separate the image from the music?

In doing a little research, Craig discovered a troubling trend regarding #1 records on Billboard. Simply going back as recent as 2010 and comparing different genres represented year over year to present day, it appears the masses are craving less variety these days. The stats below are pretty telling.
Year - # of Genres Represented
- 2010 - 8
- 2011 - 8
- 2012 - 8
- 2013 - 9
- 2014 - 10
- 2015 - 8
- 2016 - 8
- 2017 - 7
- 2018 - 8
- 2019 - 7
- 2020 - 5
- 2021 - 4 (so far)
Of course, these stats are taken with "a grain of salt", as Billboard was the only resource used and only the #1 album is represented each week, but seeing half the number of genres represented today compared to 2010 is shocking...and quite honestly sad. So how to we add diversity to the musical masses? Not sure we have the answer, but we're happy to do our part to provide some variety.

So, exactly how long should an album last? 30 minutes? An hour? It really depends on the listener & in most cases depends on the artist you're listening to. It might not seem that important on the surface, but there's a fine line between teasing the listener and lingering for way too long. And so we discuss...

If you've ever had opportunity to see live shows on consecutive days, then you probably noticed a contrast in the style of music, the audience as well as the performance itself. It's never going to be the same experience, but they can both be equally euphoric...especially for those of us who have diverse musical taste.

We have a rabid appetite for new music experiences, which unfortunately doesn't leave a ton of time for the classics. Even some of last year's discoveries are a distant memory. Well, we've decided to dedicate more time to music already in our collections by issuing a challenge; no new music for an entire month. That's right! Next month is officially "No New Music November". It's not going to be easy, there might even be withdrawals, but we know rediscoveries can be just as fun ~ CV & KG

Once again, all apologies for the poor audio quality on Craig's part. Kevin was nice enough to give him one more strike before firing him, so we're almost sure it will never happen again :)
