    Send us Fan Mail

    On this episode we go into an era of music that has it's own genre name..."grunge." What does that even mean? In the early to mid 90s it was hard not to get caught up in the movement and we were no different. We talk about the biggest acts of the time and what we liked about them. We discuss our NFL Fantasy results and play a Common Crossing song that neither one of us remember the title or the words for, and we climb the Wall of Tunes for a seemingly "1 hit wonder" from the "grunge era". #grunge #nflfantasy #candlebox #normmacdonald

    Show music is “Duck in the Alley” performed by TrackTribe via YouTube.

    On this episode we discuss, of all things, John Mayer, and how he may be a quintessential artist; the 20 most underrated rock albums; another Common Crossing demo, and we climb the Icelandic Wall of Tunes for an 80s band from the Sunset Strip with a lot of, um, dirt. We throw a bunch of stuff in between all of that too. Join the fun. #johnmayer #motleycrue

    O'Brien is back from his trip to Michigan, we have the details and oh are they...underwhelming. We briefly discuss Cam Newton, NFL Fantasy Football, and Charlie Watts (RIP); we play an old Common Crossing about a friend and the Wall of Tunes brings us to a repeat artist (O'Brien's fave) but some new music. Yes, it's rigged. #college #michigan #wmu #camnewton #nflfantasy #charliewatts #judecole

    While O'Brien travels to the Midwest to bring his son to college, we thought we'd share the very first episode of the podcast from back in 2014. It only took 6 years to get back on the horse. Enjoy this little piece of history! #podcast #memories

    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

  • O'Brien & Doug S4:E7 [July 15, 2021 The Tired Episode]

    Send us Fan Mail

    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.
