  • E3: Coolest Frontwomen
    ....an assay of the coolest frontwomen (both solo and members of band) in town as we celebrate 2021 National Women's History Month. Coolness. Most want it, few command it. It’s that combination of method, style, and substance and we vow to honor ten epic women and their approach to music-making. These innovative songstresses have a common denominator: Authenticity. They are current and past beacons of musical excellence of a bygone age, and their “coolness influence” can be measured by the stylistic copyists that follow. Some are effortlessly cool. Some don’t obey the basic rules of the industry. Respect. Some are culty. Some are cool to the teeth. Some are Academy Award Winners. Some are faddish. Some are hype-beasts. Some are majestic. Some are bewitching. Some are understated. Some are switched on. Some are tuned in. Some are trend-setting. Some are easy on the eye. Some are in the know. Some are all the go. Some are up to the minute. Some are all the rage. Some are state-of-the-art. Yeah, they’re that cool.And so here we tell you, definitively, ten frontwomen/lead singers that we certify as HEPPEST OF THE HEP…bing, bang, boom, BOP!

  • E2: Movie Villains
    ....an audit of the most iconic movie villains to ever hit the big screen. We guarantee dominance in this roster as we pay homage to ten of the most important exercises in cinematic antagonism. Oh - and spoiler alert - good does not always triumph bad in this list. Many elements are associated with pure psychopathy and our catalog of bad eggs has it all. Our goals are two-fold in this episode: 1) To proudly present the most cold, calculating movie evildoers of all-time...the ones who make us question which side we are on; and 2). To identify the fact that, while we may cower at their capacity for mayhem and chaos, more often than not we prefer them. These complex characters have their own agenda and clearly reveal that their heinous exploits are the engines that drive the movie. Some are cunning. Some are conflicted. Some are ultraviolent. Some have imposing voices. Some have calmative voices. Some are immovable forces of nature. Some are prophetic. Some show just how far their ideologies go. Some are exemplars of a very different struggle: the one inside our heads. Some are unstoppable. Some are effectively hidden from the audience for a vast majority of the film, making their presence more chilling. Some give us nightmares. Some prove that even the rational can look insane when outnumbered. Some cannot find peace. Some are great counterpoints to corporatism. Some are great counterpoints to consumerism. Some give Oscar winning performances. Some we won’t forget anytime soon. Yeah, they’re that good at being bad.And so here we tell you, definitively, ten movie mischief-makers that we certify as THE VILLAINS THAT OTHER VILLAINS WORRY ABOUT...bing, bang, boom, BOP!

  • E1: 80's Love Songs
    ...a reminisce of 80's love songs that people CAN and WILL NEVER stop listening to. We have a special guest in studio for this episode as we explore a kaleidoscope of big power ballads from this incredible decade. Our goal: To present heartfelt songs that meant the world to others (at some point but were forgotten along the way) for reintroduce; and to present these same songs to others for introduce (to hear for the very first time). There are many stages to love, and our list of unfeigned chart-toppers from the 80's have you covered. You will hear elements of romance, psychology, history, and philosophy presented in a blend of musical genres. These songs should never be a guilty pleasure. Just a pleasure. Some are soppy. Some sappy. Some earnest. Some honest. Some ardent. Some fervent. Some vehement. Some sentimental. Some oversentimental. Some sophisticated. Some pragmatic. Some poetic. Some dramatic. Some atmospheric. Some unhurried. Some set to an upbeat tempo. Some noble. Some bona fide. Some sublime. Some anthems. Some eternal. Some transcend all generations. Yeah, they're that good.And so here we tell you, definitively, ten love songs from the 80's that we certify as LOVEY-DOVEY LEGENDS...bing, bang, boom, BOP!
