Nostalgia overload! Welcome to Version 1984. Matt and Jim are lost in a world of music from some of their most formative years. The Boss, Madonna, Van Halen, Prince, Wham...and we haven't even gotten to Footloose yet! MTV, Night Tracks, Good Rockin' Tonight, Friday Night Videos, and the one and only Casey Kasem there to make your next dedication. Ballads and metal blend. Cheese is good! It wasn't quite the Summer of '69, but the summer of '84 was like no other for Matt and Jim. You might as well jump aboard as they weave through over 40 songs from the year.

This week we head to 2004 and Jim escapes the echo storm of 2014.  Matt gushes over the debut of The Killers while both of them mourn the tragic loss of Dimebag Darrell. There's a new sound in the air. Raw, overdriven guitars are met with disco beats blending punk and New Wave. Green Day makes a big comeback and a supergroup leaves its mark. Phish breaks up and creates chaos in the Northeast Kingdom while Creed breaks up and no one really cares. Join Matt and Jim as they promise no wardrobe malfunctions took place in the recording of this episode.

Happy Halloween! Matt and Jim are psyched to bring you a special episode centered around metal. So many 'cores! Screamo to hard rock. Fans that put cosplayers to shame. They invite metal blogger and friend Sandy Williamson to share his journey through life as a true fan of the genre. From Ozzy to Pig Destroyer, why do they chose these names? Can't understand those low growls? Go see them live! This episode tries to explore and explain the attraction to metal and even if it's not your thing, a chance to understand it a little better. Devil horns, anyone? Hold 'em up!

Bring your disco platforms, your leather jacket and your eyeliner, it's 1979 and there's a little bit of something for everyone. Kermit sings and Pink Floyd builds a wall. Ska steps out (two feet at a time) and punk is crossing over to New Wave. Join Matt and Jim as they explore this year full of unexpected classics. The perfect end cap to the 70s. Pina Coladas anyone?

We've reached the middle of the 90s! Grunge has made its impact and record companies are throwing everything out there to see what sticks. The world lost Jerry and a generation of women found a new voice in Alanis. The ambitious Pumpkins release a double album while the Chili Peppers try out another guitarist, the one and only Dave Navarro. Jump in as Matt and Jim find new music from The Beatles and discuss what can still be considered classic from this era and what has worn out its welcome.

We're onto 2019 and only a few years behind present day. Throughout the 2000s there's been a familiarity of sound. Mix artist A with artist B and create a hit song and then do the same with artist C, D, E, F....you might get the point. The Machine has had a grip on what was going to top the charts. But wait! Has the next generation started to reject this? Is there finally a shift in music taking place? Matt and Jim are surprised with what they've found. Old is new. Familiar sounds with fresh faces. There are so many great new artists to discover and each have their own sound. Just to confirm their findings, they invite Harry Batey (20) and Mercedes McDonald (19) to confirm that the charts are now irrelevant. Music is sourced from new media and the transparency of The Machine is shining through. Check out an engaging conversation contemplating the next big shift or possibly even a new golden era of music.
