FEATURED SONG

NICK – “Here’s Your Hat, What’s Your Hurry?” (unreleased demo)

~~~~

How could I NOT do a Dolly Parton episode? Sad that it ends up being my 19th volume of Death is DUMB. But however she got to MxG, she deserves as much spotlight as we can shine.

I go over her history & legacy, give you some recommended listening from each decade, and talk about why I should even be doing this episode at all.

What’s your relationship with Dolly & her music? Do you know it beyond the hits? What do you think her greatest accomplishments were? And what do you think her legacy is? Discuss dammit!

BONUS MxTRA: Country music as pop's recurring alternative

FEATURED SONG

REC - Linear B (otherside)

(from KITE TO CAMDEN)

~~~~

To celebrate the 40th edition of PODFAST, I’m doing an old-school TOP 40 COUNTDOWN of the artists I’ve mentioned the most in the seven-year, nearly 400-episode run of this show.

It’s a great way to illustrate how broad MxG’s subject matter is, and how I don’t just CLAIM that MUSIC is not a GENRE, I prove it.

I also give you an update on my band REC and my crazy schedule.

Can you guess who’s my number one artist? What about the top ten? How does MY list compare with YOUR list of favorites? Who have I never talked about that you wish I would? How much of REC’s music have you actually heard, and what do you think of it? Discuss dammit!

FEATURED SONG

The Drop (feat. Ape Café) – “Lock-Load-Love”

(theme from the movie – from IT WASN’T ME !)

~~~~

I’m not just a singer/songwriter/producer. I’m also a stage/film/TV actor, voice actor, writer and visual artist. I know what it means to be multi-disciplinary.

So I thought it’d be fun to spotlight several dozen actors who have also had substantial music careers, and tell you which ones are worth listening to. There are far more than you think.

What name comes to mind when you think of actors who are also musicians? Did you know them first as an actor? What did you think of my list? Do you feel like any of them were worth listening to? If so, who? Discuss dammit!

FEATURED SONG

REC – “Gold” (from PARTS AND LABOUR)

~~~~

Remember that band that had a BUNCH OF TOP 40 HITS?

No you don’t.

Sure, you might know the bands that everyone still talks about. But there are music artists from every decade who had TONS OF HITS that we have now nearly or TOTALLY FORGOTTEN ABOUT.

This week’s episode picks up where last week left off. We’re talking bands and solo artists who had MEGA SUCCESS in their day, but who are now considered one- or two-hit wonders, or who have dropped out of public consciousness altogether. And we’re starting with the 1990s.

Can you think of any artists most of us no longer remember? Did I leave out anybody? Did any of these really surprise you? Discuss dammit!

BONUS MxTRA: These songs were #1 - and these artists weren't?!?

This and next week’s episodes are on them. We’re talking bands and solo artists who had MEGA SUCCESS in their day, but who are now considered one- or two-hit wonders, or who have dropped out of public consciousness altogether. This week I go through the 1980s.

FEATURED SONG

NICK – “Listen You People” (from LISTEN YOU PEOPLE)

~~~~

It’s that time again. Time for YOU.

I’m kicking off Season 9 with another rundown of YOUR COMMENTS, as well as a shortlist of some of the topics I’ll be covering this season.

I’m also welcoming ALL THE TROLLS to the family. As MxG’s profile continues to rise, it’s attracting far more negative comments – and I love that. I’ll talk about what makes a GOOD TROLL COMMENT, and which ones are BORING.

Did I mention you? Did I miss something? What topics would you like me to cover in Season 9? What’s your take on trolls and how to handle them? Discuss dammit!
