In this episode O'Brien & Doug regroup and discuss how not to go on vacation, buying vinyl records, the shows we played before vacation, the 50 most annoying songs ever (not our list), and we ask for song suggestions for our band to play live. The Common Crossing song of the week is on both a Common Crossing demo CD and an O'Brien solo album, and we climb the Wall of Tunes to talk about a legendary soul singer from the 60s-70s. #vacation #annoyingsongs #billwithers

In this episode our much older bodies are sleep deprived and are recovering from several shows and rehearsals in a row. 20 years ago it would have been no problem. We decide just have Doug quiz O'Brien on Van Halen trivia, sing the Common Crossing song of the week live in the Fun Dungeon and climb the Wall of Tunes for a Latin Pop/R&B artist from the 80s with a sultry, sexy voice, sound and image. #sleep #vanhalen #sade

In this episode, we talk about what we did for Independence Day, play "Guess the One-Hit Wonder" (with actual sound clips...shhhhhh!), play the Common Crossing song of the week that no one has heard, and climb the Wall of Tunes (or for our Kurdish friends "Dîwarê Awazan") to talk about someone we lump in the same category as B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, etc. Join us. #independenceday #commoncrossing #kebmo

In this episode we talk about O'Brien's incredibly romantic wedding anniversary, bands who have successfully or not successfully replaced lead singers, music conspiracy theories (Stevie Wonder can actually see), compare a Common Crossing song of the week with it's cover version, and talk about one of our favorite bands from the 90s on the Wall of Tunes. #24years #bigollove #hootie #steviecansee

In this episode the boys talk about O'Brien's oldest boy heading out on his own, under appreciated members of their favorite bands, Michael McDonald, a Common Crossing Song of the Week that may be a repeat....but it's okay, and they switch things up a little for the Wall of Tunes Artist of the Week.

On this episode we, once again, welcome our bass player Shane Mountain...or as he's now known Professor TB Player! We read some hate mail (from our so-called friend Bob), review the debut album from Wolfgang Van Halen "Mammoth WVH", dip into the Common Crossing vaults for a recording of a writing session, and we climb the Wall of Tunes for a band from the 70s, who had the most success in the 80s....and 3 lead singers. Enjoy. #mammothwvh #genesis

In this episode we give an update about our progress in the hunt for high-profile guests. We analyze the great "American Pie" by Don McLean. Many have done it. Now we have too. We play a Common Crossing Classic that was written in anger. We climb the Wall of Tunes for a band from the 70s who measured success by trying get on a magazine cover. #redrocker #americanpie #drhook

Welcome to Season 4!! We have big plans. Our goal this season is to feature at least one high profile guest. We have our sights on the Redrocker, Sammy Hagar. We aim high. In this season premiere episode we talk about who else we'd like to have on. We also discuss the difference between a song from today and a song from our generation, with a little help from O'Brien's kid. Did you know Doug went to the Berkee School of Music? The Common Crossing song of the week features a "George Harrison-esque" guitar solo and we climb the Wall of Tunes and nip that thing in the bud! Welcome aboard.

As we wrap up Season 3, we have big plans for next season. They include a campaign to get some big name guests on the show. We've been lazy so far. In this final episode of Season 3 we begin talking about genius of KISS, not their music, their marketing. We're then visited by a voice from our past. Of course we do the Common Crossing song of the week and we climb the Wall of Tunes for a rock songwriter/frontman/bass player who takes up residence in several bands. But we feature one of his solo albums. Cheers for a great season and here's to bigger and better in Season 4. #finale #cartman #kiss #jackblades

The episode before the Season 3 finale includes a visit with our childhood buddy "Bob." He takes this opportunity to slam the show (he's jealous) and ask us some probing questions. We play a song from Common Crossing that even Bob didn't know, plus we climb the Wall of Tunes to talk about a band that neither Doug or Bob has heard of. Obscure much? #bob #gabedixon
