June 03, 2025 The Police's Stewart Copeland - Stalker Anthems + Temper Tantrums
Late May and early June 1983 is when The Police's defining song "Every Breath You Take" was released and promptly steamrolled its way to #1 in the UK (hitting the top spot on June 5th) before conquering America a month later. While Sting's creepy-but-catchy ode to obsessive surveillance was busy becoming the band's biggest hit and the year's most-played song, Copeland admits the trio was so dysfunctional they could scarcely record in the same room together. Stewart says about Sting, "The times when it was most annoying was when he was right. That's when the homicidal urge, I couldn't resist it. My fingers would be reaching for that jugular."

Enjoy this short VIDEO where Stewart's storytelling chops go to 11 when he describes getting lost on the way to a show and then the band having a blowout fight onstage in front of 80,000 fans. Don't stand so close to me, indeed!

WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/4bozB5MqLZc

In this episode, The Police drummer waives his rights and confesses to fracturing Sting’s rib over a copy of the New York Times; how many more albums the band could have cranked out if they hadn’t split up in 1986; and why it was necessary to call 911 when Cream drummer Ginger Baker paid a noisy visit to Stewart's Sacred Grove Studio.

May 20, 2025 Julie Bowen - Gettin' Down On Jim Morrison's Grave
The 49th anniversary of Jim Morrison and the Doors taking the stage for the first time as the house band at LA's legendary Whisky a Go Go is May 23, 2025. Just over a year later their song Light My Fire would go to #1 on the Billboard charts. But none of that compares to the release An American Werewolf in Paris -- a film in which future Modern Family star Julie Bowen makes history with a werewolf on top of Jim Morrison's grave. Bark at the moon, indeed!

The hilarious VIDEO where Julie recounts the awkward logistics of pulling off this funky cinematic feat is not to be missed.

WATCH HERE: https://youtube.com/shorts/Xycl9OzzD04

Julie Bowen's Spinal Tap Moments run the gamut from a very uncomfortable rainbow-afro-wigs incident with her Modern Family co-stars, to auditioning for the show while pregnant with twins, to career lowlights such as appearing (barely) in the movie, Amy's Orgasm...all told with Julie's punchy, self-deprecating sense of humor.

May 06, 2025 Devo's Jerry Casale - Whip It...Good
Peace and reconcilation are possible. Devo's Gerald "Jerry" Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh being together on the road for their "50 Years of De-Evolution... Continued!" tour is evidence that warring parties can not only put down their arms, they can pick up their instruments and make the music that we all need right now.

Find a Devo Summer 2025 tour date near you: https://clubdevo.com/tour

Catch the VIDEO of Jerry spilling the tea about the time he and his brother-in-arms Mark had to pitch Devo's version of the Rolling Stone's hit "Satisfaction" to a moves-like-Jagger dancing Mick Jagger.

WATCH HERE: https://youtube.com/shorts/XEyoBbllpqs

Jerry Casale's epic Spinal Tap Moment stories in this episode run the gamut from Devo falling prey to the disease that's lethal to bands, "Lead Singer-itis"; how Budweiser got free product placement in the Whip It video; and why collaborating with David Bowie was the ultimate moment of vindication.

April 22, 2025 OK Go's Dan Konopka - The Danimal Abides
OK Go's new album, "And the Adjacent Possible," delivers a full-on OKGo-ian video for the song Love that rivals the legendary videos that put them on the map including A Million Ways, The One Moment, Upside Down & Inside Out and, of course, the GOAT - treadmill extravaganza Here It Goes Again.

Not to be outdone, the TMEP Show has its own VIDEO featuring the Danimal, OK Go drummer Dan Konopka, telling us about his staredown with the Muppets' Animal and getting intimate with Miss Piggy.

WATCH HERE: https://youtube.com/shorts/D7uznjLaGzI

Known to his friends as Piss Bucket Dan, Konopka goes deep to reveal Spinal Tap Moment stories that include being held for suspected drug possession while crossing the Canadian border; performing a tooth extraction on a Snow Patrol fan; and insulting Jerry Cantrell's songs that were some of Alice in Chains's most iconic hits.

April 08, 2025 Violent Femmes Brian Ritchie - Just Keep Going
Among auspicious April events in rock 'n' roll history, April 13, 1983, is the date that Violent Femmes released their beloved, eponymous first album and gifted the world with Blister in the Sun, Add It Up, Gone Daddy Gone, and other instant classics. The album has ascended to the status of "generational hand-me-down" according to Violent Femmes founding member and our fellow Milwaukeean, Brian Ritchie.

April 5, 1994 is the date that Nirvana's Kurt Cobain passed away. Both topics loom large in this conversation with Brian.

Watch our VIDEO where Brian describes how Nirvana was selected to open for Violent Femmes in Australia, and Kurt's ragged state of mind even in those early days.

WATCH HERE: https://youtube.com/shorts/usGs3M3atlY

Plus the Femmes are touring this year, so what better time re-share Brian's stories about his band living through every scene in This Is Spinal Tap in real life; their big break being discovered by The Pretenders while sidewalk busking in Milwaukee; and his 3-word secret to success..."Just keep going."

The Femmes are on IG: @officialviolentfemmes

March 25, 2025 Amy Brenneman - Clothing Optional
People Have the Power: A Celebration of Patti Smith is taking over Carnegie Hall on Wednesday, March 26, 2025. Luminaries including Bruce Springsteen, Michael Stipe, Courtney Barnett, Sharon Van Etten, Ben Harper, Kim Gordon, Flea, The National's Matt Berninger, Susanna Hoffs, Chrissie Hynde, and many others are participating in the festivities.

https://musicof.org/

And, damn, if this epic event didn't make us think about our VIDEO with Amy Brenneman telling her story of a very awkward encounter while trying to snap a selfie with Patti in front of a live audience at Stephen Stills' Autism Speaks event. Word to the wise...don't do it!

WATCH HERE: https://youtube.com/shorts/DwbYjiVEg68

Plus, in this episode Amy recounts being the first person ever to take off their clothes on network TV; offbeat moments with legends Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow, Joel Grey, and Sylvester Stallone; and, in all seriousness, what it means to be a good man in show business (and anywhere else).
