Today we're celebrating our 100th episode in style with 4 very special guests from the Rock Hall, and we are so pleased to welcome Nwaka Onwusa, John Goehrke, Jason Hanley and Greg Harris to the podcast. We talk about museum operations, what their first albums were, what they like to play in The Garage, who had to transport a Stooges guitar on a commercial flight and who may turn the outside of the museum into a spaceship at our behest. 

Join us for an impromptu, manic reaction to buying Rock Hall 2022 tickets! We talk about our hopes for the ceremony, what to do when you're in LA and then segue into what we've been up to lately. 

The rage is relentless! This week we talk Rage Against the Machine’s debut, a radically poetic effort that bombed a left upon the fascists and revolutionized rock.

Reach down between your legs and ease the seat back—we're talkin' Van Halen this week! Eric breaks down their 12 studio albums, all three singers, and the status of a possible Eddie tribute concert.

Join us for a deep dive on the underrated 90's hard rock band Extreme. Mary discusses their work, analyzes lyrics from their albums Pornograffiti and III Sides To Every Story, and talks about why their messages of love and peace — and their condemnation of cruelty, war, and excess — are needed more than ever. 

Join us for a fun and illuminating conversation with journalist and podcaster Courtney E. Smith. We talk about everything from her time at MTV, the Rock Hall, our favorite female artists, murder ballads, food, fostering dogs and so much more!

Give yourself a present and join us for a conversation with entertainment journalist, LAFCA member and friend Brent Simon about the wonderful and strange music of Twin Peaks. We discuss how the music drives the narrative of the show, remember the late Julee Cruise and talk about how Twin Peaks has influenced modern artists like Lana Del Rey. We also ask Brent about his career and fandom of U2.

Join us as we review Baz Luhrmann's newest film 'Elvis'! We discuss the highs and lows of the movie, Austin Butler's performance, Elvis' legacy and whether this will help him have a resurgence in modern culture. Make sure you listen until the end to find out which Hall Watchers host caused shenanigans at Graceland!

This week, we discuss Los Angeles band X with a little help from our friend Greg, a lifelong fan. This is an illuminating conversation covering X's history, Rock Hall qualifications, and why they transcend the "punk rock" label.

Join us for a casually chaotic episode where we catch you up on what we've been up to, talk about recent losses in the music world, and comment on the Ryman getting a landmark distinction from the Rock Hall. We also have a spoiler-free discussion on the shows and documentaries we've been watching recently, including the George Carlin documentary, Better Call Saul and Stranger Things.
