We'd like to take a moment to thank all of the listeners who stuck with us throughout this turmoil-filled month, and we're talking about the podcast. August has been heavy but also a ton of fun and as Crime Time The Theme Month winds down, we want to remind you all that sometimes the best criminals make the best musicians and vice versa. The people on this week's list are sometimes bad bad people, but they make great music. Super sleuth and sometimes library employee Helen Milner is on the case, helping us count down the greatest and most notorious criminal musicians of all time.Helen's main love is True Crime, and she runs the True Crime All The Time Book Club at the Altadena Public Library.

Crime Time All The Time keeps on trucking with part 4 of our 5 part series featuring the best songs about crime, punishment, injustice, and getting locked up in the slammer. Chef/musician/mensch Alex LaBorwit returns to ATTT for Top Ten Songs About Prison, with 10 cautionary tales about what can happen when you f around and find out. If you're in LA and you ever get hungry, check out Alex's gourmet food service The Sequestered Chef.

Dewey Cox is right. It's hard to go through day to day life knowing that there are so many injustices happening in the world. Sometimes we want to escape from the endless news cycle of rage-inducing stories of the downtrodden being trod upon by the powers that be. We here at ATTT are solutions-oriented, and we've found a way that you can cut loose and get lost in the music but maintain your eternal wokeness. Top Ten Songs About Real Life Injustices is definitely the heaviest of all of this month's episodes, but our man who can Joe Lavelle was more than up for the challenge of making a show about THAT topic entertaining. Here's part 3 of our 5-part series on crime, punishment, and hopefully someday, justice.Stream this playlist on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3MMzi3ezmtpl6YA3T35fiC?si=625065d6ea0a4799Get thee to alltimetoptenpod.com for everything ATTT:https://alltimetoptenpod.com

It didn't take long for us to get knee deep into another ATTT theme month, as Crime Time is in full effect. If you enjoyed last week's episode Top Ten Songs About Criminals, you'll know that with all things crime and punishment related, there are subtleties and layers to the topic. Getting into SONGS ABOUT COPS, we've noticed the same pattern. Nobody doubts that being a cop is a hard job, and largely a thankless one. Conversely nobody doubts that there are some serious bad apples out there spoiling a big old bunch. It's a tricky subject, especially if you are actually paying attention to what's been happening in the world, but we felt like we had to tackle it. Enter our good pal Matt Dinan, the brave soul who joined us in GoodList Studios for part 2 of our 5 part series on songs about crime and punishment. If you don't listen, you'll be under arrest.Matt's Youtube channel LA Frankenstein has some awesome stuff to check out, with a lot more on the way:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnnTJKNN8AIgKsGZh7MOCbgStream this playlist on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3oyrNdbyZRrbrjug6chkop?si=12767c0365f34b50Everything we're up to is right there at the ATTT website:https://alltimetoptenpod.com

Maybe it's just us but there seems to be something in the air this summer. People are fed up for all sorts of reasons, and the mood is ripe for some disorderly conduct, not that we condone it! In this spirit, ATTT is proud to launch a new theme month. Now that it's August we want to welcome you to #CrimeTIme or as the kids say Crime Time (All The Time). We have some fun topics coming up and some heavy ones. Let's kick things off with a bit of fun, as one of our beloved regulars returns for Top Ten Songs About Criminals. Behold, a man who claims to have never lied, cheated or stolen anything in his life. Besides this point, Gabe Scalone was a fun choice for this topic. Criming was never such a good time!Stream this playlist on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6xQzkdT2JKr2TnOLwhqHSn?si=6f595e8a06d84b4dLeave a voice message and get it heard on the show, and get links to the Patreon Thing, the episode archive and more at our website:https://alltimetoptenpod.com

The addition of piano, organ, and synths gave a life force to some of the greatest rock music ever made. Of course when people think of rock, they naturally think of the electric guitar player bringing the thunder or the frontman with the flowing locks looking larger than life on stage, but don't you dare sleep on keyboard instruments as a vital cog in what makes rock music so friggin' awesome. The players highlighted in this week's list are among the most gifted and studious musicians to hit the rock stage. These brainiacs are certified wizards of music, and this week's guest fits the mold in the same way. Our old pal Brad Watson is a bit of a keyboard-playing wizard himself, and we were delighted to have him back in GoodList Studios for TOP TEN ROCK KEYBOARD PLAYERS. Here's hoping this episode will get rock keyboards and the amazing folks that play them some much needed love.Stream this playlist on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/73bNljKlsr22LarzE8bL91?si=c781fe2413994affBrad is hard at work playing across the country with 2 world-class tribute bands.

This past year and a half has been among the most stressful in recent memory. It's little wonder that an important and awesome side effect of an entire planet experiencing a traumatic event such as a worldwide pandemic is the fact that people everywhere are turning to dogs and cats for comfort, relief, entertainment, love and friendship in record numbers. These little fur balls do wonders for us here on planet dysfunction, and songwriters know this very well. There are so many great songs about cats and dogs that we had to invite our pal Karman Kruschke back for another round. You might need some tissues for this episode, as cats and dogs can stir up emotions in even the most hardened of us. You may also find yourself rocking out to some great tunes about our favorite furry buddies.Listen to Top Ten Songs About Dogs And Cats Volume 1 at the archive page:https://www.mixcloud.com/beneisen/ep/Like all good LA folk, Karman's got a lot going on. She does pet services like dog walking and cat sitting.

Can you believe you and me get to walk around this world knowing that somewhere out there right now, the legendary Bob Dylan is alive and doing stuff? Here's a more pressing question - how late is too late to wish someone a happy 80th birthday? Well here is our belated birthday gift to the one and only Bob Dylan - a collection of some of the best interpretations of the man's songs from all corners of the musical world. Knowing the importance of the task ahead, we knew we had to recruit another one-of-a-kind individual, and luckily the great Fernando Perdomo was available. Fern invited us into his palatial studio deep in the San Fernando valley to help us count down our favorite Bob Dylan Covers and the results are quite astounding. When Bob says he contains multitudes, believe him.Everything that Fernando is up to - and it's a lot - can be followed by going to his website: https://www.fernandoperdomo.comYou can also get instant access to his insane discography by visiting his Bandcamp page:https://fernandoperdomo.bandcamp.comStream this glorious playlist on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3eHTasyRvDvnhQU2zpLNmM?si=840d6ca9e34440b3Get links to the archives, the Patreon Thing, and everything else ATTT at our website:https://alltimetoptenpod.com

What exactly do we mean by vocal vamping? Let's say it's the end of the song and our singer has repeated the chorus for you like a half dozen times. It's time for them to cut loose and unleash the passion! This kind of end-of-song riffing, or to use the more musical term, vamping, is a pure art form that requires a singer to shed off any inhibitions that might hold them back from a mind-blowing take of soulful ear candy, and to take you and the song to another level. Singer-songwriter-producer Geoff Pearlman was nice enough to host us over at Treehouse Studios in the valley, and we counted down our favorite vamping classics in style. It's not just a coincidence that everything Geoff Pearlman music can be found at his webstite, geoffpearlmanmusic.com:https://www.geoffpearlmanmusic.comStream this delectable playlist on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0o9jDACG4FA2N7Wr0xh82V?si=d38b2ae8c44147e6Get on the ATTT Patreon thing, visit the archives, leave a voice message and more on our website:https://alltimetoptenpod.com
