In this episode: we take a break from discussing the music we consume, and switch the focus to HOW we choose to consume it.

We dish on everything from: vinyl's long-and-steady resurgence, cassette's niche appeal, CD's holding on for dear life, the rise (and fall?) of digital downloads, the overwhelming number of streaming options, and the attempt to bring true high-resolution audio into the digital realm).

In this episode: They're gettin' the band back together, man! And we take a look into their motivations...Groups like My Chemical Romance, Rage Against The Machine, The Black Crowes, and even Motley Crue all announced tours this year.

Are they cashing in on the nostalgia factor of their fans? Or, could there be something more of a marketing strategy behind it? Hot takes on the concert scene!

In this episode: special guest Tom Keifer, formerly of Cinderella, joins us to talk about his new studio album "Rise;" the live-in-studio approach he took to recording the effort; the struggles he's faced (and overcome) with vocal cord paralysis; the way Cinderella's sound evolved to include elements of hard rock, the blues and roots music; his re-recording of the Cinderella classic "Nobody's Fool" with Lzzy Hale of Halestorm; and how he feels the state of rock music has evolved since "Night Songs" was first released.
