N.B.:

• Here’s Tom’s playlist of the songs that made into this episode, followed by those that did not.

“Born at Sea. Raised on Radio.”

Super db’s J-M Sutcliffe returns to the podcast, this time to demonstrate various rhythm guitar techniques, most notably the single-note palm mute that so permeates yacht rock and the like. Or, as Tom likes to call them, “the plucky plucks.”

Want to see the plucky plucks in action? Be sure to watch the video version this week. Link to our YouTube channel below.

“Born at Sea. Raised on Radio.”

Typically reserved for the end of the year, the decks needed clearing in July this year. Tom and John rifle through some stored up odds, ends and tidbits full of miscellany, potpourri and sundry. John spends most of his time re-litigating the Jeff Lynne content, as is his won’t.

“Born at Sea. Raised on Radio.”

Did the art of the solo in pop/rock music peak between 1975 and 1985? And why did it become something of a lost art thereafter? John and Tom discuss the history and importance of the solo (any instrument) in modern music history, each sharing five of their favorite solos for purposes of demonstration and admiration. 

What do you think are the elements of a quintessential solo in pop/rock music? And where have all the good times gone?

“Born at Sea. Raised on Radio.”

Where does Ned Doheny fit into this ongoing conversation? Might he be one of four on yacht rock’s Mt. Rushmore of under-the-radar solo acts? 

With that often “proto”-identifying sound…definite embrace of the yachty R&B vibes…that omnipresent acoustic guitar rooting down the rhythms? He’s a bit of an enigma, which is why Tom and John took a deeper dive 🛎️ into the life, career and musical stylings of one Ned Doheny. Special album focus on Hard Candy.

“Born at Sea. Raised on Radio.”

Were there ghosts in the music machine back in the 70s and 80s? Most certainly…more than you know. This week, John and Tom share their favorite ghost stories: uncredited session performances on some of music’s most famous tracks, no less — and likely, some of which you never knew were there! 

It's Halloween in May! (or something)

“Born at Sea. Raised on Radio.”

Part 2 of our exploration into the storied career of Rick Springfield examines the post-heyday chapter. Tom was shocked how much he liked a certain three-album run from this era of his story. Perhaps you will be too!
