Co-host Sean selects our episode on bossa nova legend Sérgio Mendes for his ReWind. Mendes passed away in 2024 at the age of 83.  

Co-host Jeremy brings us his ReWind, with some updated information on a cappella group the Persuasions in his intro.

On our first ReWind of the season break, co-host Peter takes us back to early 2021 when the classic trio covered this live album by none other than the Temptations.  

We unlocked a Bonus Episode from our Patreon in which co-host Peter details the process of releasing a split 7" with his former band Boring People and the Chicago band Regular Fucked Up People.  

Our final episode of Season 6 fulfills our impromptu promise at the start of the season. We listen to selections from the soundtrack to the Saturday Night Fever sequel, Staying Alive, while also discussing the corresponding film. Guests Mark T. Weathersby and Taylor Rowley join us to celebrate the campiness. 

WFMU DJ and music journalist Gaylord Fields returns to the podcast to expound upon the merits of "Weird McCartney." We listen to the 1980 solo offering from ex-Beatle Paul McCartney, a fairly surprising turn for the pop craftsman which finds him creating home recordings steeped in synthesizers and experimentation.  

Guest Bevan Bell joins us as we finally feature a record by American saxophonist Grover Washington, Jr. An artist whose output is never in short order in the bargain bins, we listen to a live album that supports our assessment that Grover's music is more complex than his smooth jazz reputation might lead one to believe.  

Guest Ryan Werner injects us with some classic rock by way of American power trio James Gang. As we discuss their history, we listen to selections from their third album, which was the final studio album to feature the lineup of Joe Walsh, Dale Peters, and Jim Fox.  

Dustin Krcatovich returns to the podcast for our long-overdue Brewer & Shipley episode. Best known for their novelty hit "One Toke Over the Line," the duo were one of the hardest-working acts on the folk rock circuit of the late Sixties and early Seventies. We listen to the album which followed their breakout success.  

Guest Matt Dorbin drops by with a copy of the second album by power-pop pioneers the Raspberries. Led by Eric Carmen, this Ohio group had a brief brush with mainstream success before becoming a highly influential cult act. We look at not only their influences but who they in turn influenced.
