Episode #24 - Queens of the Stone Age - "Just Skin and Bone"

1/20/2021

Listen to "Queens of the Stone Age - "Just Skin and Bone" - Episode 24" on Spreaker.
Desert Rock - Stoner Rock - Hard Rock - Whatever adjectives you use to peg Queens of the Stone Age, it boils down to the fact this Josh Homme vehicle is one of the most original American rock bands of the last couple decades, and my personal favorite band since I discovered them in late 2002.  Curating ten songs for this episode was one of the most pleasurable/painful experiences because my original list was somewhere around 34 songs I wanted to play, and distilling it down to ten wasn't easy.  But I'm happy with these ten songs that I feel are underrated and/or under-appreciated that span their entire twenty two year career.

Episode #23 - New Release Thursday - Deep Purple

Listen to "New Release Thursday - Deep Purple - The Power of the Moon - Episode 23" on Spreaker.
After 52 years in the industry, Deep Purple are still going strong with their 21st studio album, WHOOSH! (Not the best title of an album...but hey it's still better than Bananas).  This isn't Mark II Purple.  Of course not.  But if you are into their output of the past 17 years or so then this group is still delivering the goods.  On this episode I feature my favorite track off their new LP titled, 'The Power of the Moon'.

Listen to "Emptying the Vault - The Letter 'P' - Episode 22" on Spreaker.
Welcome to another mashup episode, or what I call "Emptying The Vault - Letter P style".  A show I drop every other week after a regular episode that features 10 songs from bands/artists beginning with the letter P that I probably wouldn't feature on a regular episode.  This week it's another eclectic smörgåsbord of gems ranging from practically every corner of the rock and roll landscape.

Listen to "New Release Thursday - The Psychedelic Furs - The Boy That Invented Rock & Roll - Episode 21" on Spreaker.
The Psychedelic Furs dropped their first full studio album in nearly 30 years!  And it sounds frickin' phenomenal!  Top to bottom I already have fallen in love with it.  For your sampling pleasure here is the opening track, 'The Boy That Invented Rock & Roll'.

Episode #20 - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - "I'm the Nightwatchman"

Listen to "Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - "I'm the Nightwatchman" - Episode 20" on Spreaker.
This week is a special one for me.  Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are the soundtrack to my life.  His music was there during my formative years, during my adolescence, my teenage years, high school, college, cross country moves to Los Angeles and back to New England.  He was there for good times and bad times.  Graduations, breakups, new beginnings, and sometimes his music was just there holding space for me while I figured out what my life was all about.  Yes, his music is extremely personal to me and I'm very excited to share with you ten of my favorite underrated and under-appreciated songs from his 70's and 80's classic era.

I do not own the rights to any of the music played on this podcast.  The musicians or the music labels own the copyright.  I play this music under the doctrine of Fair Use.  I am not here as a DJ, but to offer music commentary and criticism.  My goal is for you to gain a larger appreciation for the bands or the musicians played here on this podcast and I ask for you to go out and purchase their music or legally stream it.  The musicians need your support and I hope this show contributes to spreading the good word about the bands you hear on these episodes.  I do not profit in any way from this podcast.  It is truly done out of my pure love of the music.  RIP Sylvain Sylvain

Listen to "Emptying the Vault - The Letter 'O' - Episode 19" on Spreaker.
Emptying The Vault continues the tradition of following up the regular show featuring a new artist with a follow up episode featuring a Smörgåsbord of bands and musicians that also begin with the same letter.  Following up last weeks The Offspring episode here are 10 songs from artists/bands represented by the letter 'O'that I may not have been able to get to on the regular show.  This is quite an eclectic batch of songs on this weeks show ranging from 80's Electronica, 70's heavy metal, 50's rockabilly, and many genres in between.  Something for everybody!!!

Episode #18 - The Offspring - "My Dumb Donut"

Listen to "The Offspring - "My Dumb Donut" - Episode 18" on Spreaker.
Welcome to episode #18 of the ABC's of Rock.  This week we move on to the letter O and representing our favorite circular letter is none other than California Skate Punk/Pop-Punk band, The Offspring.  As always this podcast isn't here to celebrate the hits and singles, but to dive deep into their catalogue and to curate songs that aren't radio or concert staples.  Every album is represented on this podcast from their early hardcore punk days, to the far leanings into pop-punk...it's all here and everything in between with of course my running commentary for each song.

Episode #16 - New York Dolls - "Long After a Masquerade"

Listen to "New York Dolls - "Long After a Masquerade" - Episode 16" on Spreaker.
This week I tackle the great white whale of underrated bands, the New York Dolls.  Got to play some classic songs from their two amazing albums from the 70's, then the 2nd half the episode selections from their three reunion albums that I personally feel are can't miss gems.  All in all, a collection of 10 songs that just don't get the respect they deserve from a band that is criminally underrated.  Hopefully someday they Rock and Roll HOF will come calling, but I'm not holding my breath.  In the meantime, enjoy this hour of rock and roll that just can't be beat!

Episode #15 -Emptying the Vault - The Letter 'M'

Listen to "Emptying the Vault - The Letter 'M' - Episode 15" on Spreaker.
I'm attempting a little bit of a format change going forward to save my sanity.  Every other week I will be progressing through the alphabet as I have been.  However, every other week will be an episode such as this.  This episode I will be "emptying the vault" sharing with you underrated and under-appreciated songs from bands/musicians that start with the letter M.  It's a great way for me both conserve some energy for the big letter themed shows, plus it's an opportunity to play some really awesome music from artists that typically I couldn't play on the regular show.

I do not own the rights to any of the music played on this podcast.  The musicians or the music labels own the copyright.  I play this music under the doctrine of Fair Use.  I am not here as a DJ, but to offer music commentary and criticism.  My goal is for you to gain a larger appreciation for the bands or the musicians played here on this podcast and I ask for you to go out and purchase their music or legally stream it.  The musicians need your support and I hope this show contributes to spreading the good word about the bands you hear on these episodes.  I do not profit in any way from this podcast.  It is truly done out of my pure love of the music.
