April may have been the best month yet as far as new music goes. On top of that, Danny and Jon both found some great stuff from other eras.

For the first time in the history of this show, we are doing a true first listen. Neither Danny, Jon, nor returning guest Brad Stasell had listened to the new covers album from T-Pain prior to recording the episode. Find out how we feel right along with us as we give On Top of The Covers a listen

The song has had many names and has been attributed to a few bands, but no matter how you shake it, it's a great rock and roll song. Stepping Stone has practically become a punk rock standard. It's such a good rock song that even the other genres that have taken it in can't help but make it rock.

For a long time, Amen, Brother by The Winstons was just the b-side of a moderately successful R&B song. Over time it has grown into something so much more. A 6-second drum sample from the track has become one of the most used, and most recognizable samples in the history of music. From its early days in hip hop, into various dance music genres, and eventually even crossing over into rock and roll, The Amen Break is one of the most important sounds in music history.
