MuteAnt Sounds Netlabel owner Jay Reeve was your average New Jersey teen in the early 90s, listening to metal and whatever was considered alternative at the time - until he heard Fugazi. With 1990s "Repeater", Ian MacKaye and co. opened up his mind - and ears - to a sound he didn't even know he needed...but he did.

Gang Of Four, “Entertainment!” with Hugo Burnham
As influential post-punk records go (its importance has been cited by a diverse array of artists including R.E.M, Rage Against The Machine and Kurt Cobain), you’d be hard pressed to top Gang Of Four’s stunning 1979 debut “Entertainment!” In anticipation of Matador Records’ “Gang Of Four 77-81” boxset release, we were honored to have original GoF drummer – and occasional curmudgeon – Hugo Burnham on to provide insight into the creation of this monumental album.

For this bonus episode Rob’s niece, SCAD (Savannah College of Art & Design) student Lauren Arnold, brought us the soundtrack to one of the most popular Broadway Musicals ever: Hamilton by Lin Manuel Miranda. Are Broadway musicals generally in That Record Got Me High Podcast’s wheelhouse? No. Did listening to the musical turn Rob and Barry into dedicated Broadway Musical fans? Also, no. Did we have a great time racing through the songs, trying to keep up with Lauren’s boundless enthusiasm for all things Hamilton. Yes. Yes we did.

Pink Floyd – The Piper at the Gates of Dawn with Roger Miller(Mission of Burma.) As a teen in Ann Arbor, Michigan, this week’s guest was already a fan of 13th Floor Elevators’ Roger Kynard "Roky" Erickson when he discovered Pink Floyd’s first and only record helmed by enigmatic singer/guitarist Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett. This album became an enduring lodestone of sorts for our guest, another Roger who DIDN’T change his name and went on to form a band that has become a lodestone for countless bands that followed.
Our guest: Roger Clark Miller of Boston post-punk titans Mission of Burma. 
His record: Pink Floyd’s “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.”
