    In this episode O'Brien & Doug discuss their many band trips and the antics they involved. They reminisced about several shows they've played in both Common Crossing and the Star City Syndicate and promoted some upcoming gigs in the summer of 2021. The Common Crossing song of the week is a little dirty. The Wall of Tunes CD of the week will rock you like a tornado. No, wait, that's not right. #covid19 #livemusic #germanrock

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

    In this episode we are possessed, apparently. We discuss Lil Nas X's latest controversy, underrated and overrated music artists throughout history, what might be missing from today's music, the funny Common Crossing song of the day, and we climb the Wall of Tunes for a 70s and 80s stalwart who is just as comfortable on the Yacht Rock channel as he is on a movie soundtrack. Oh, and it's our 50th podcast in a year. #50 #satanshoes #messinawho

    On this episode, we don't talk much about music. Instead we dive back into the 80s with our great friend Jack "Sports Freak" Levangie." Specifically, we reminisce about underrated 80s television sitcoms. Get nostalgic with us, it's fun. #perfectstrangers #hoganfamily #alf #CBClatenight #80s

    In this episode we chat about the Grammy Awards...and pointless awards shows in general. We discuss the state of rock music, plus we wade into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame thing again, it's pretty much a gripe fest so prepare yourself. Doug also gives O'Brien a challenge, we "Walk" with the Common Crossing song of the week and feature a late 80s 'supergroup' from the Wall of Tunes. Also, we are two guys proud of our Irish roots and we don't mention St. Paddy's Day at all. Whoops! Enjoy.

    In this week's episode we cover a lot of ground. Doug is back in the Fun Dungeon and we talk about his new fascination with a couple of classic Def Leppard albums, the vocal coach's mistake, a "What If" that has us thinking deep about Van Halen, a Common Crossing song about two great friends, and we climb the Wall of Tunes for a band from the 90s who is "up and down and sideways". #defleppard #vanhalen #pattysmythe #verticalhorizon

    On this episode we briefly discuss the 48th anniversary of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon," O'Brien's radio stalker from the 90s, movie actors who are supposed to have accents but don't, the Spotify generation, a singer/songwriter responsible for starting the movement, and oh...did you know it was a Strat and not a Les Paul? #pinkfloyd #changeyourname #JT

    On this episode, we dodge a lot of technical issues at the end of a strange start to the week. Loss of a credit card, fender bender, Zoom call, etc. We also begin a series suggested by "Cousin Larry", play a Common Crossing song that we may or may not have covered before, and dive into the career of a Canadian rocker on the "Wall of Tunes." It was a strange one. #gremlins #badams

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode we chat about how some years have better music than others. In this case the years 1985-1990. We play a live Common Crossing song that's not on record anywhere...climb the Wall of Tunes for a singer/songwriter who's still going strong, even with a few small repairs...and we dip our toes into cancel culture. The water is cold. #bestyearsformusic #commoncrossing #shawncolvin #lombarditrophy

    On this episode we recap Super Bowl 55, discuss our favorite halftime shows, the best commercials (there were none)...Play "Songs from a hat"...The Common Crossing song of the week with Doug on lead vocals, climb the Wall of Tunes to talk about a band from the 90s who got their name from a Monty Python skit, and generally sink the podcast to a depressing level near the end. Kind of like the Titanic. #superbowl55 #brady #commoncrossing #montypython #toad
