Rhythm on the Rocks

Frizz and Bob jump into AC/DC's mega hit and the second most sold album of all time, Back in Black. Frizz pours Tomatin, and Bob pours Starlight Bourbon as we metaphorically drive down the highway to hell to learn about the career of one of the greatest, no-frills, rock and roll bands of all time. Join just a couple of scientists learning all about power currents, lonely British suburban wives, and rockin and rollin. (have a drink)

Frizz and Bob venture into beloved stout territory with Goose Island's Bourbon County Stout and a classic Irish Guinness for an Irish queen, Enya. Cheers with us as we listen to her biggest legacy album, A Day Without Rain, and decipher what made Enya an enigma in popular music. We reveal how she healed a nation during a time of mourning, uncover her literary and mythological lyrics written in over 6 languages, understand how her marketability skyrocketed against the odds, and we listen, in real time, to Bob becoming an Enya fan. Get your Pure Moods CD ready for your bath. Happy birthday, Bear!

CHEERS ONE, CHEERS ALL! For the SECOND annual ROTR Award Show, Frizz and Bob pop the cork on the SECOND cheapest bottle of bubbly found in their neighborhood stores. What song brought the best vibes? Which album surprised us the most? What do we think was the best album of the year? Who was the biggest piece of crap? Come and find out the winners of these prestigious awards as we recap the year that was 2024. Burmp burb a DURRRRM!

Frizz and Bob are joined by Adam Edwards from Bob Dylan's whiskey brand, Heaven's Door. Join us through a tasting of their incredible line of whiskies while we share our favorite Bob Dylan songs and stories, talk about the art behind the musician, and uncover the true brilliance behind this brand.

LET'S GET WEIRD! Join us as Frizz sips Abasolo Mexican Corn Whiskey and Bob enjoys MB Roland Single Barrel Bourbon and we dive into the classic album that really started all the weird: "Weird Al" Yankovic in 3-D. We learn how the accordion had the power to change rock music, discover the brilliance of Al's pulse on pop culture, giggle over some fun nicknames, talk about the legalese of parody permissions, and learn the true power of hand farts.

NEW MUSIC ALERT! Lord Bael -the doomy, sludgy, and goshdarned delightful frontman of Shi- is back for the SIXTH time on Rhythm on the Rocks. Today we are talking all about Shi's brand new album, Pure Disgust. Frizz pours Rittenhouse Rye, while Bob and Bael pour JTS Brown (and an IRN BRU FOR THE FIRST TIME) and dish out all the disgusting details of your soon to be new favorite heavy record.

Frizz cracks open a Glennfiddich 15-Year Old Solera and Bob pours Old Louisville's 7-Year toasted single barrel. Together they tell the story of another artist who passed away too soon at the age of 27, the iconic Jimi Hendrix. We learn how a one-string ukulele got into the hands of the ultimate vibe man and left-handedly changed guitar playing and music forever. We paint the picture of how this musical Icarus went from a complete unknown, to international legend, to a memory of purple haze in only a matter of 4 years, highlight the most underrated parts of him, and also find out how many things are actually older than Frankie Valli.

Frizz and Bob dive into the spooky season with the delightfully awful Ghostbusters soundtrack, because bustin' makes us feel good. To get through this collection of 80s trash, Bob is drinking Castle and Key's brand new 7 year cask strength wheated bourbon and Frizz pops Henry McKenna's Bottled in Bond bourbon. Join us as we reminisce about the brilliance of this 80s must-see movie, talk about Elmer Bernstein's battle between classical and commercial, the timeless genius of Rick Moranis, and the confusing awfulness of Air Supply. Happy Halloween!

Frizz cracks open a new bottle of Bunnahabhain Stiuireadair, and Bob pours a personal favorite Community Batch Private Selection from Makers Mark while enjoying the self titled debut album by the Black Pumas. Join us for a rip roarin' nostalgic time as we gab about animal band names, the long and winding road of two musicians meeting by chance, and break down how all the familiar inspirations lead to one of the best new albums in recent music. Also... take a drink everytime you hear the word "organic."

Bob and Frizz finally get into a Billy Joel state of mind with two brand new bottles: Angel's Envy's Triple Oak and Filey Bay Yorkshire Single Malt. We dig into Joel's best-selling album, The Stranger and learn all about what makes him the ultimate Piano Man, unearth the beauty and curse of Billy Joel's love songs, bask in the brilliance of growing old, and really need to speak with Xzibit about pimpin' our rides.
