Let the Music Be Your Master

Wherein we wax nostalgic about our favorite themes of TV shows past and present.

In this episode we are joined by Dr. Michael Hicks, professor emeritus of music composition at Brigham Young University, to discuss the idea of musical virtuosos and share some of our favorite examples.

To kick off Season 3 of LTMBYM, we are exploring the geneology of some of our favorite bands. Jordan gave us the challenge to choose an artist from the 60’s or earlier, and then trace their musical influence lineage through the decades.

Tune in as we wrap up 2021 (and Season 2 of LTMBYM) with some of our favorite Christmas songs. Featuring a brilliant Christmas Medley by our own Sir Ricks-a-Lot. Plus a shoutout to all our fans in Guelph, Canada!

Tune in to check out Side B of our Songs from 1971 compilation album.

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of all the great albums released in 1971, we visit this seminal year in music history to make our own Definitive, yes Definitive, compilation album (now available at Media Play and Sam Goody record stores nationwide).

Things get feisty as we nominate hip hop tracks to go head to head and see who wins. Tune in to see who has the best picks and/or the most conveniently fluid and vague definition of what does or doesn’t qualify as hip hop.

Wherein we share our picks for 3rd wave Ska, along with some ska-influenced tracks by other bands, and conclude with the best/worst ska band names of all time.

In this episode we are joined by special guest Brian Croxall to discuss his time in the local ska scene as well as induct our entries to the Ska wing of the LTMBYM Hall of Fame.

I know you’re surprised and disappointed that the best cover of all time didn’t make an appearance on our previous episode, but there’s a good chance it shows up on this one. Also featuring commentary on The Beatles from Professor Michael Hicks, and another round of Name That Tune.
