September 23, 201968: Asylum RecordsLong before he became best friends with the Clintons and starting spending his days on a yacht in Mallorca with his idle rich friends, David Geffen was a kid in LA who wanted to run a music label that put artists first. That label was Asylum Records. Launched in 1971, Asylum was for a few golden years the home of fantastic, legendary artists like Judee Sill, Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, Tom Waits and even (briefly) Bob Dylan. The Eagles also were on Asylum. To see the videos featured in this episode, visit musicraygun.com/playlists....more1h 16minPlay

September 02, 2019Miniepisode: Baby Band T-Shirts and Sophie B. HawkinsKirk promotes a new music comedy show, not because he's involved in it (he's not) and not because it's sponsoring the show (it's not), but just because it's so good. Paul follows up on a Roger Miller tune that turned up on a previous miniepisode. On "Don't @ Me," Paul talks about band T-shirts on babies, and Kirk has an opinion about a Sophie B. Hawkins song. After that, it's the return of "Prince Tweets 2 U." And, finally, Paul tries to turn his previous music trivia win into a music trivia winning streak. All that and more in less than 20 minutes. Vicky, is the water warm enough?...more20minPlay
