Schizophrenic Music

Let Us Know Your Thoughts! This week, Craig and Kevin set the dials for 1972, one of rock’s most iconic years — but instead of focusing on the obvious heavy-hitters, they spotlight two underrated or overlooked albums that deserve more love in the classic rock canon. Expect deep cuts, unexpected picks, and the usual musical detours. After the trip to ’72, the guys fast-forward to present day for a...

Let Us Know Your Thoughts! This week, Craig and Kevin head all the way back to 1961, each picking an overlooked or under-appreciated album from a year that laid the groundwork for the music explosion to come. They dig into the sounds, styles, and why these records still deserve a spin in 2025. After the trip to ’61, they dive into what might just be their final Schizophrenic Shuffle — randomly pul...

Let Us Know Your Thoughts! Craig and Kevin rewind to 1966, digging past the usual Beatles-Stones-Dylan trinity to spotlight two albums from that iconic year that they feel deserve more love. Each host brings one underrated or overlooked record to the table — albums that may have flown under the radar then, or just haven’t gotten the same legacy shine over the decades. From hidden gems to deep cuts...

Let Us Know Your Thoughts! This week, Two Albums, One Year turns into Three Albums, One Year as Craig and Kevin welcome a special guest to the pod (Shawn from Re-vinyl ) for their 2011 deep dive.

After the...

Let Us Know Your Thoughts! Craig and Kevin kick off a round of Two Albums, One Year, this time diving into the criminally overlooked corners of 2014.

Next up, they spin the wheel on Shuffle Roulette, pulling 5 random tracks from their personal librar...

Let Us Know Your Thoughts! This week, Craig and Kevin crack open their digital music vaults for a little game of Shuffle Roulette . First, they break down how they choose which albums to actually sit down and play. Then they each hit shuffle on their libraries and take turns revealing their first five songs — one track at a time. The other has to respond with a thumbs up , thumbs down , or thumbs...

Let Us Know Your Thoughts! After a long (and much-needed?) hiatus since 2022, Craig and Kevin are officially back with V2 of the Schizophrenic Music Podcast — and they're picking up right where they left off: unscripted, unpredictable, and unapologetically obsessed with all things music.

Let Us Know Your Thoughts! Hip-hop took center stage last Sunday night and ushered in a new era of sorts.  It's hard to believe it took this long when really you think about it.  While the reviews were largely favorable, and we agree with the majority,  not everyone liked what they saw.  And that's cool too.  That's the beauty of music really, everything isn't going to appeal t...

Let Us Know Your Thoughts! This week we take inspiration from a recent discussion on our Facebook Group .  There seems to be a perception that as we get older, we're less likely to attend live shows.  In fact, some people simply stop going to concerts once they reach a certain age.  Why is that?  While we don't fall into that camp, we would love to hear from those who do.  So, what do yo...

Let Us Know Your Thoughts! There seems to be an insatiable need for people to compartmentalize music and it doesn't stop at genres either.  Does the date of an album's release really matter in the grand scheme of things?  And is there a difference between influence and impact?  These are just a few of the topics we address in today's discussion.   Support the show

Let Us Know Your Thoughts! Today we dive a little deeper into musical comfort zones and chat about recent events where we stepped outside of ours.   As usual, the conversation takes a bit of a turn from there, as we explore live performances that surprised us as well as the dynamic of politics in music.  What can we say, we let the flow take us where it leads us.  Enjoy!

Let Us Know Your Thoughts! Comfort zones can be found in so many facets of our lives.  From the food we eat to the movies we watch, much of what we take in resides in our own personal comfort zones.  Music is certainly no exception, especially with such a wide variety of options available to us, but it seems most people don't explore these options.  Why is that?  Could it be they simply don&a...

Let Us Know Your Thoughts! Sometimes you hear something and there's an immediate connection.  It could be the style of music, a particular instrument or maybe the singer's voice simply puts you at ease.  You're fully invested!  Then there's the flip side, where you cringe at the very thought of a song or a band.  Hence the topic of our discussion today! So, what's your mus...

Let Us Know Your Thoughts! Is image everything?  That was certainly the case for heavy metal & hard rock bands back in the 80's, but the music scene quickly shifted in a different direction in the early 90's.  Grunge was king and anything glamorous or flamboyant in appearance was no longer cool; quite the opposite actually.  To this day there is a stigma attached to bands associated...
