The legendary Toadies join The Tippy Jo Show in this special crossover episode with the Midwest Mixtape Podcast—just in time for their massive appearance at Pointfest in St. Louis this Saturday, May 17th! 🤘🔥

Donivan Blair chats with Tippy from The Barn Studio and dive into everything from the band’s new, darker-toned album "The Charmer"—recorded with the late, great Steve Albini—to their honest, no-frills approach to live performance and creative collaboration.

The conversation touches on the emotional weight of recording with Albini just weeks before his passing, and how that experience shaped the band’s perspective moving forward. Donivan opens up about his early struggles adapting to the Toadies’ pick-style bass playing and how playing alongside seasoned musicians pushed his growth. They also reflect on the band’s recent Toadies Day celebration in Fort Worth, share some unexpected love for cover songs—including a surprise shoutout from Kelly Clarkson—and explore Donivan’s deep passion for jujitsu, along with his plans for a new book that combines martial arts and personal growth.

📍 Don’t miss The Toadies live at Pointfest this weekend in St. Louis—where they'll be performing fan favorites and giving you a taste of The Charmer.

If you’re looking for a sonic palette cleanser from the mundane, Venamoris’ new album To Cross or To Burn is the aural experience you didn’t know you needed. Out now via Ipecac Recordings, the album is a seductive, shadowy, and soul-baring effort from the duo of Paula and Dave Lombardo. Yes, that Dave Lombardo—drum god behind Slayer, Mr. Bungle, Misfits, Dead Cross and countless other boundary-pushing projects. But this isn’t thrash, metal, or hardcore. Instead, it’s something far more intimate and atmospheric—part gothic lullaby, part cinematic fever dream, and entirely its own thing.

Think: a darker, stranger Portishead raised on vintage synthesizers and heartbreak. And you’re only halfway there.

Venamoris, a name derived from the Latin vena amoris ("vein of love"), is a reflection of the real-life partnership between Dave and Paula Lombardo. The musical bond they’ve cultivated runs just as deep. Paula’s roots include everything from backing up Las Vegas legends like Wayne Newton to chasing a singer-songwriter dream in Nashville. With this project, she brings a magnetic presence—equal parts elegance and eerie introspection—on vocals, piano, and synths. Every lyric feels lived-in; every melody, emotionally raw.

Engineered and produced by Dave Lombardo, mixed by David A. Lombardo, and mastered by the acclaimed Golden Mastering team, To Cross or To Burn shimmers with sonic depth. Every note and nuance is deliberate, yet full of danger. The Lombardos handle all instrumentation themselves, with Paula on vocals and synths and Dave handling drums, guitars, and more.

The album also features contributions from a formidable group of guest musicians, including:

• Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk) – contrabass on “Stay With Me”
• Ra Diaz (Suicidal Tendencies, KORN) – bass on “Stain of Pain”
• Alex Skolnick (Testament) – guitar on “Stain of Pain” and “Burnt Paper”
• Gary Holt (Slayer, Exodus) – guitar on “Animal Magnetism”

Each guest adds a unique brushstroke to the darkly emotional soundscape, enhancing but never overshadowing the central force: Paula’s haunting voice and poetic songwriting.

The album’s opener, “Stay With Me,” is a cinematic dive into surrealist romance—starting in lo-fi crackle and ending in full digital immersion. "Holding On to Nothing" flexes Paula’s lyrical teeth as she dissects betrayal with Ben Folds-style piano wrapped in Sabbath-inspired gloom.

 On this episode of Dirty Right Rear, The Mox and Jeremy chat with Brent Marks for an insightful conversation recorded via Zoom while Brent is at Lakeside Racetrack. With Tri-City Speedway just around the corner, Brent shares his thoughts on returning to the site of a major win and what it’ll take to replicate that success this Saturday, May 10th. 

The discussion dives into the real-life struggles small car owners are facing this season, particularly with a high number of rainouts hurting income and increasing travel burdens. Brent reflects on his recent victory in Texas and the consistent performance his team has maintained at Texas Motor Speedway, highlighting the pressure to stay sharp every single night in a sport where one misstep can cost a championship run. 

Brent opens up about his past racing success, especially in 2022, and how those experiences influenced his decision to join the High Limit Sprint Car Series full-time in 2024. He explains how the series’ flexible schedule and open communication with teams made it the right fit, pointing to its long-term potential and fan-first vision. The conversation also covers possible format changes that could keep the racing fresh and increase fan engagement. 

Looking ahead, Brent emphasizes the need for his team to improve on smaller, rougher tracks if they want to stay competitive in the title race. He’s confident, though, that with continued focus and strong finishes, they can close the gap with the current points leaders and be in the mix at season’s end. 

Don’t miss this episode if you’re a sprint car fan or just want a deeper look into the mindset of one of the sport’s most thoughtful and consistent drivers. Make sure to like, subscribe, and follow The Barn Media for more exclusive racing interviews and content.

On this episode of the Midwest Mixtape Podcast, Rogers Stevens of Blind Melon joins us for an in-depth conversation about the band's past, present, and future. Rogers reflects on Blind Melon's upcoming performance at the Pig and Whiskey Festival in St. Louis on Friday, May 9, where they’ll be sharing the stage with Smash Mouth, and also looks ahead to a major milestone: the band’s first-ever show at Red Rocks while supporting O.A.R. 

Rogers shares stories from Blind Melon's early days, including their struggles to break through, the cultural phenomenon of “No Rain,” and the bittersweet reality of being labeled a "one-hit wonder." He opens up about pivotal moments in the band’s journey, from navigating the music industry’s highs and lows to overcoming the tragedy of losing their iconic frontman, Shannon Hoon—a gifted songwriter whose legacy still shapes the band’s music and message today. 

We also dive into Blind Melon’s evolution, their move to New Orleans, and how the city’s jazz scene—including artists like Kermit Ruffins and Rebirth Brass Band—inspired tracks like “Lemonade.” Rogers gives insight into the meaning behind songs like “Skinned,” and how the band blends upbeat melodies with deeper, sometimes darker, lyrical themes. 

This is a must-watch for fans of Blind Melon, 90s alt-rock, and those curious about the resilience and reinvention of one of rock’s most unique and heartfelt bands.
