How cool is this? My episode on Brian’s My Weekly Mixtape: A Playlist Curation Podcast Podcast is Amazon’s Featured Podcast.

Y’all go listen! We made a KILLER mixtape.

How about some 80s Geffen time period Neil Young today?

“Landing on Water” is next. Even Neil thinks “it’s a piece of crap” but…there are some nice moments on it. And for anyone who wants to knock Neil for using synths on his record…guess what? Every rock star was doing it!

Enya time!

Yeah…I just need some background music today while I work on some major projects.

Do I go “Shepherd Moon” or “Watermark” or…OR….should I do like Depeche Mode says and “Enjoy The Silence” instead?

The Guess Who…are they one of worst named bands of all time considering there was already “The Who?”

Anyone able to recite all the lyrics of “These Eyes” without messing up?

Keep it or trade it?

More Neil Young pregaming…

Next up is “Reactor” from 1981 before he jumped to Geffen. I know this album (and some albums after this) get crapped on by fans but I don’t mind this one outside of “T-Bone” which…well…that song is awful. 9 minutes of awful.

Anyone own this one?

Next up…. “Altered Beast” from Matthew Sweet.

Did you know we did an episode about this album with Aaron Lee Tasjan?

Have you listened to the latest Aaron Lee Tasjan?

Did you know that Matthew Sweet was a guest on our show discussing a Beatles record? That was a blast!

I love me some colored vinyl.

How beautiful is this “Blue Ridge Swirl” design on “Forsythia” from Caleb Caudle?

The record itself is also really great. Bought this at the merch table recently.

And he wrote a song about co-host Wayne! 😉 Can you spot the song?

Was thinking about some of my favorite concerts of 2023 and that prompted my listen of Peter Gabriel’s “i/o” for a drive to the doctor.

Went with the Bright Side mixes today.
Instantly put me back in Climate Pledge Arena.

Where does this album stack up in the Pete discography?

Always a fun hang with Brian.

We discuss songs that stop us dead in our tracks. These are songs that, if they’re playing when you pull into the driveway, you’re not getting out of the car until the song is over.

You got some songs like that? We made a pretty dang good mixtape!

Made it home! Not without a few stops in Macon GA along the way…

• The Allman Brothers “Big House”
• Little Richard’s childhood home
• The Otis Redding museum (not pictured)
• H & H Soul Food Kitchen (a MUST if you are in Macon)

And LOTS of Bird Streets music.

Headed back to FLA after a fun night of Adam Ant & English Beat.

Gonna make a few detours in Macon on the way home. Any guesses where I’m taking Wayne in Macon? Stay tuned for pics.

Gonna do some more pregaming. How about a Social D record a day to get hyped for that show?

Happy Adam Ant day to us!

Road trip with co-host Wayne!

Here’s what’s keeping us company on the drive.

Hope y’all are having an awesome Sunday!

DVD time!

Found during one of my Goodwill Hunting excursions…the music documentary “Gram Parsons Fallen Angel.”

I’m about half in but there is a lot of Phil Kaufman screen time. Gimme more Keith and Emmylou!

Who else has seen this doc? Where are my Gram fans?

Wait. Wait just a minute!

Was pregaming for some The English Beat and Wayne and I were looking at the setlist for this opening gig for Adam Ant and…

I’m excited for all these songs but there’s no “I Confess” or “Best Friend.”

How do you leave off “I Confess!?!” Say it ain’t so!

That happy feeling when you see that matt nathanson is going on tour this summer!!! Woo hoo!!

That unhappy feeling when you look at the calendar and realize that he’s in Florida the same time you’re on family vacation NOT in Florida. 😢😡😢

Time for some “Sad Songs” instead. 😢

Spinning “Good Feeling” (1997)…the debut from Travis.

Yeah…they really start cooking on the next album but this is still a pretty solid album with songs like “Happy” & “U16 Girls” & “More Than Us.”

Any fans out there of Travis? And, if so, what’s your go to Travis album?

On my second listen of the new Maggie Rogers album.

Just gonna dub the month of April as “The Month of Maggie’s” since my two favorite albums this month are both from Maggies.

Y’all checked out the new Maggie Rose yet?

What new music is everyone listening to today?

More Adam Ant pregaming…

I think I made co-host Wayne lose his crap when I said I thought I liked “Strip” more than “Friend or Foe.”

Let’s see if I stick by that assessment after this listen.

Are you Team Wayne (Friend or Foe) or Team Ben (Strip)?

More Neil Young pregaming.

This is my favorite Neil album. My introduction to Neil…my first Neil purchase that pissed off my roommates because I played it all the time.

Is it his best? Debatable. But, it’s my favorite of his and a game changer for my music tastes.

NEW EPISODE ALERT! Jason Earle of The Marooooonaaade! joins us again...this time to revisit 'Some Girls' from The Rolling Stones.

Plenty of Keith Richards talk and the landscape of music in 1978 (ie, The Brothers Gibb). We might even have an unanimous top song. Check it out now!
