This week, we focus on the bands who were at the precipice of becoming huge...rave reviews, prominent live gigs, radio support...yet, fame and fortune somehow eluded them. Our Third Lad is someone who knows all about this - in Alex Boucher's new memoir, Three and a Half Minutes of Fame, the seasoned writer draws from his firsthand experiences in "almost famous" indie/punk bands Three and a Half Minutes, Travis Cut, and Jaff, and boy band NV.

"Three and a Half Minutes of Fame" takes readers on a compelling journey through the tumultuous music scene of the 1990s, as experienced by protagonist Alex, who embarks on a quest for fame after signing a record deal at the tender age of 17. Over the span of seven years, Alex finds himself on the cusp of stardom multiple times, rubbing shoulders with iconic bands like The Pogues, Suede, Blur, and Mansun, as well as encountering figures such as Patti Boyd.

However, Alex's journey is far from glamorous. Along the way, he confronts neo-Nazis, navigates the gritty world of gangsta rap, accidentally smokes crack, and grapples with personal tragedies, mental health challenges, and the trauma of sexual abuse. Set against the backdrop of the 1990s—a decade marked by cultural shifts and the rise of alternative music scenes—this memoir offers an authentic glimpse into the highs and lows of pursuing fame before the era of social media.

Amidst the challenges of the COVID-19 lockdowns, Boucher took the opportunity to document his memories of the 90s music scene, resulting in a poignant memoir that sheds light on the untold stories of those who strive for fame but ultimately fall short. "Three and a Half Minutes of Fame" offers readers an intimate and revealing account of one man's journey through the trials and triumphs of the music industry, ultimately serving as a testament to resilience, creativity, and the enduring allure of chasing one's dreams.

P.S. If Uncle Gregg rants are your bag, then this one's for YOU!

We're back this week with our long-awaited Best of 2024 episode and there's a lot for you to wrap your ears around. In a time that many seem all-too-thrilled to declare the death of a genre, there was an increasing number of great albums and songs released last year.

Plenty of new material from veteran artists was released in 2024 including albums by Judas Priest, Ace Frehley, Marilyn Manson, Saxon, and Accept among others. Lots of newer bands were forging their own path last year with new music such as DAZR, Starcrazy, Haunt and more. Other notable releases for 2024 included music from Sebastian Bach, Eclipse, The End Machine, and many more.

Did any of these albums make our lists? You'll have to listen to find out. Chris and Aaron each count down their Top 10 releases from the year that was 2024. We hope you enjoy and share YOUR choices in the comments!

This week’s guest curator is Jay Sweet, my former Tunestiles Podcast co-host, along with friend of the show Jimmy Mitchell, and we're crafting a second playlist filled with golden oldies & doo wop classics from the 50’s & 60’s!

And, just like Vol. 1, we’re revisiting the classics that not only made headlines during the 50’s & 60’s, but also during the 80’s & 90’s, when a lot of these songs saw a revival through the covers versions that were becoming hits all over again, because of features in hit movies. 

Be sure to visit MyWeeklyMixtape.com to hear all of the songs we discussed in this episode, and join the My Weekly Mixtape Discord Server via the link on the episode page!

We’re back! On this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we’re flipping on the tube and talking about television theme songs! These are the tracks that play during the opening credits and get stuck in your head for the rest of the week.

From classics like Cheers and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air to rock-driven intros like The Sopranos or Friends, TV theme songs are often as iconic as the shows themselves. They set the tone, build the vibe, and sometimes, they even tell a story better than the show ever could (looking at you, Gilligan’s Island).

So grab the remote, plop down on the couch, and tune in as we talk about the songs that had us singing along before we even knew what binge-watching was. Don’t touch that dial—this episode’s gonna be one for the record books!

The late Buddy Holly's glasses had been missing for more than 20 years when Iowa Sheriff Jerry Allen came upon them in a misfiled envelope. As a part of this episode, I spoke with Sheriff Allen's daughter Jennifer about that discovery and its aftermath.

This episode serves as a prelude to what comes next: beginning on Thursday, January 23, we’re going to go on that fateful tour with Buddy Holly and the others, with an episode per day from January 23rd to February 3rd, one for each show, as we follow those young pioneers of rock and roll on their ill-fated journey, a terribly planned criss-crossing tour of the Midwest: The Tour From Hell.
