Pretty Good Vibrations

Ben Bishop is back! This time, we bask in the glow of the FM radio dial as we pit 70s pop and rock superstars against each other. We're talking Bowie, Zeppelin, Jackson Browne, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Joel, Elton John...

Episodes will continue to come out during this hectic next year of my life, but not on a weekly basis. A '90s Tooth & Nail Records tournament has been recorded but not edited yet, and we'll see what else gets added to the queue... Thanks everyone for listening!

Two music-centric films. Two different generations. Both released in 1994, Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction call upon the same period of popular music but in distinctly different ways (with very different budgets). Michael Parker (Pickwick) and I try out a new episode format -- you could say we take it for a spin in a vintage Chevy while enjoying an overpriced milkshake -- where we pit the soundtracks against each other, track by track. We also talk about the films a bit. And we hear some GREAT songs.

Let me know if these are fun!

THE GLORIOUS FINAL CHAPTER.

* Also we talk about YouTube, but this episode is audio-only (and further episodes, most likely!) *

We went for it on this one. 45 bands. 5 parts.

Dashboard Confessional. Saves the Day. Paramore. Further Seems Forever. Anberlin. Brand New. Taking Back Sunday. Cursive. My Chemical Romance... and THIRTY-SIX other bands.

I am joined by returning guest Jeff Martin (This Day & Age) for the most ambitious and thorough tournament yet attempted on Pretty Good Vibrations. But here's the thing -- we keep things fairly breezy throughout and don't linger on any particular band tooooo long... If you lived through this era, then we almost definitely talked about most of your favorite bands.

* This is part 4 *

** There was an issue with Jeff's mic, creating some little pops and audio artifacts throughout the episode. For some it might be too annoying, but I haven't found a way to solve it and I think it'll be livable for most listeners **

** This is Part 2 **

** Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/lJfetnfLjBE **

Scott Carlton, longtime close friend of mine and alum of Drive Thru and Tooth & Nail Records, finally convinced me to look deep into the darkest corners of human life and art... 80s glam metal, also known as "hair metal." We're talking Twisted Sister, Poison, Bon Jovi, Quiet Riot. We're talking about some of the most embarrassing moments in American pop and rock music. And, sadly, we are talking about the most popular era of heavy metal in global history! But Scott humanizes this genre and time period, and of course, we have a ton of fun with the songs and stories themselves. Throw on your big hair wig, break out your hair spray, grab a red solo cup, and come feel the noise!
