When you think of a bright sunny Summer day, what kind of music comes to mind? The Beach Boys? Tom Petty? Don Henley? Billy Idol (wait...what?!)

If you have children, then the name Laurie Berkner will be very familiar to you, as she has been a staple of children's music for the last 20 years. In this episode: We sit down with Laurie to discuss her entrepreneurial roots as a musician and indie label owner, the fact that she graduated high school with John Popper from Blues Traveler and Chris Barron from the Spin Doctors, her approach to writing music for children that resonates with parents, her work on off-broadway musicals and her views on streaming music vs. the physical medium for the indie artist. We also dig deep and FINALLY get to the bottom of who Victor Vito and Freddie Vasco REALLY are (you're welcome parents!)

We put together a list of 50 groups and/or artists you could very well see on next year's Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductee ballot, along with some who might never even be considered!

Also, Jay FINALLY saw Motley Crue's "The Dirt," so we take some time to dish on that as well!

In this episode: we plug in, turn it up (to eleven of course) and "riff" on the riffs that instantly forecast the awesomeness coming your way!

We're talk all the heavy hitters such as: AC/DC, Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Guns N' Roses, and Metallica, just to name a few. Plus, thanks to the incredible input from the riders, we dive into a ton of bands that you would never expect to hear in this list, so expect the unexpected.

ALL ABOARD! Attention, Riders: This episode features an in-depth look at the age-old question (the ‘Who Wore It Better’ of the music scene) “DID YOU JUST RIP ME OFF?!”

Dr. David Crider, of Upstate NY’s Oswego State University, joins us on a discussion of a few of the notable artists who…ahem…”borrowed” from another artist, and often got slapped with a lawsuit for it!

So, lawyer up, and get ready for the Royal Rumble of the RIAA! NEXT STOP: RIPOFFS! Stay back from the closing doors…

In this episode: we open up the rider line to hear about all the songs we consider our “guilty pleasure” tunes, even if there isn’t the slightest amount of guilt involved. Hell, by reading that description alone, you knew EXACTLY the kind of songs we are referring to. Had we called it “songs that don’t exactly fit into your normal musical wheelhouse,” we may not have gotten a single call!!

In this episode: we leave the comfort of the Tunestiles’ studio and head upstairs to Brian’s back deck, for a round table / post birthday party pow-wow with several friends of the show: Alex Gomez, Jason Alexander (drummer for Colburn & Co.), frequent C&C collaborator Jason Gecek, as well as our kids randomly running amuck.

What starts out as a 80’s & 90’s Rap / Hip Hop themed episode soon branches out into rock, punk, soundtracks, bro-country, non-bro-country and some old band tales that put Motley Crue’s “The Dirt” to shame (at least in our minds!)

In this episode: we expound on all of the great 80’s tracks that gently rocked us to our core, and further opened the door to rock’s sensitive side.
