the Millennial Throwback Machine

This week's episode is going to cover the history behind last week's group, which was Little Anthony & The Imperials, and some of it is going to be a repeat of a group we did a few weeks ago, but there is something about the career of Little Anthony & The Imperials that you could say about other groups and songwriters of other decades of music other then the 60's, and I talk about that in this wee...

Hey! so I know It's been a while since I last uploaded an episode, but my birthday was on the 2nd of this month, so as per usual with every year of me doing this podcast, I always take the week of my bday off. so I"m back one year older, and I have some VERY exciting news for you. so I finally have another interview episode that's probably gonna happen next week, so what's gonna happen is that I"l...

Today I"m doing something on my podcast that I haven't really done before, but I thought since today is Halloween and I honestly didn't have anything major planned to cover for my podcast this week because next week I will be taking it off because my birthday is on Tuesday, and I wanted to do a one episode song and not a two parter one, today I decided to do something for the Halloween Season and...

My apologies if this podcast is coming atcha a little bit late, my life is kind of stressful right now as I am trying to become gainfully employed because with where I"m at right now with my current living situation, that is my main focus. but don't worry, I'll still be doing this podcast every week as I love doing it and I'll continue to do it as long as my schedule allows me too. In the meantime...

this week we will be diving into a REALLY great song about something universally relatable not just to baby boomers but to young people as well, and to be honest with you, you might not know this one, because It didn't get very high up on the charts and you don't really hear it too much on the radio today, but I will promise you you will love it, and it's actually the POLAR opposite of last week's...

hey! so I know it's been a while since I uploaded an episode for this podcast, but I wanted to let you guys know I haven't forgotten about you. I experienced some technology problems again recently, as I was without a computer for an entire week, plus I was undecided as to which song I wanted to cover on my podcast next and I was still waiting on potential interview prospects to be scheduled. so I...

This week is gonna cover the history behind last week's group. in it, I talk about how the group was formed, the story behind their name and the behind the scenes details on their hit records (the studios their songs were recorded in and the musicians they used on their songs. etc.) also, don't forget their is actually gonna be an interview episode next week for my podcast and it's gonna be with a...

My apologies if this podcast is coming at ya a few weeks late, I have been trying to figure out what my next interview episode is going to be and for the last few weeks, I have been trying to schedule it out with a guest that I unfortunately misspoke and said that he was going to be the next guest on my podcast. unfortunately I was wrong and he would up postponing our interview for now but the goo...

My apologies if this episode is coming to you a day late. the future of this podcast is currently uncertain as I recently experienced some irreversible life changes that may prevent me from doing more episodes of this podcast. I'll talk more about that next week but next week will mark 150 episodes of this podcast, and it will be a special interview episode of this podcast, but after that, that ma...

This week I will be talking about one of my all time favorite early 60's solo artists that isn't Elvis or Roy Orbison, and let me tell you this guy was a COMPLETE and TOTAL bad ass, and his singing was ABSOLUTELY IMPECCABLE, he was REALLY good and this week I dive into one of my favorite songs by him and arguably his best song that he ever recorded, and this week, as per usual, I talk about what m...

This week's episode is all about the rich history of New Orleans & the different labels & studios and musicians that were within that scene, I also tell the story behind last week's song & artist & talk about what went down with the making of the song, who played on it, what happened when they tried to shop the record around to get it released, and why the commercial success of the song ultimately...

This week's episode is on one of my all time FAVORITE 60's R&B/Soul Songs, one that is so intelligent and sexy that it's just great and it's definitely a song that I will never get tired of listening to no matter how many times I do that. this week we are going to talk about what makes this song so good both musically and lyrically, and next week I'll dive into the history behind it and talk about...

This week will be somewhat of a review episode, since I am covering a British Invasion group and I have done British Invasion groups & artists before on my podcast, so a lot of the info I talk about on this episode will be echoing previous episodes of my podcast on the same subject matter, but this is definitely a new group that I will be talking about & in this episode, I try to clear up some mis...

I hope you guys are having fun on your summer vacations, this week I'm covering a band that I'm sure you might be surprised I haven't done on my podcast before, they were another band that was VERY Big in the 60's that you may know or you may not, but they were a band that was a part of the "British Invasion", and it has been a while for me since I have done a British Invasion band on my podcast,...

I hope you guys are having a good 4th of July Weekend, so this week I"m diving into the history behind last week's band & song which is I"m Not Your Stepping Stone by the Monkees. this week I do a deep dive into the history behind this band and what made them so interesting and I also talk about the behind the scenes details on the recording session of this song and what the recording process was...

This week I talk about a group I have been kind of avoiding for a while because this group was a HUGE band from the 60's and their music is borderline "mainstream" but at the same time, they are almost "under the radar" that if you are of a certain age so you might know a few of their songs, but you might not know their history if your a Millennial or a Gen Z, so because of this, they do qualify a...

This week's episode is a LITTLE bit different from my previous episodes of my podcast. Since Episode one of my show, EVERY single song I have covered has been a tune from the 60's, but as most of you should know by now, I write my own music and ALL of my music is influenced by stuff from the 60's, and since I"m noticing a lot of my podcast listeners aren't listening to my own music, I figured you...

This week, as per usual, I"m gonna dive into the history behind last week's song & artist, and specifically, we are going to talk about exactly what kind of connection the singer of this song might have with it even though he didn't write the song, and also, I talk about one VERY important person that was basically responsible for most of his successful career as a performing artist, and also talk...

I hope you guys are having a good memorial day weekend, This week's episode is going to be slightly longer then the previous episodes of my podcast as of recently because this weekend is a long weekend and I'm sure with the extra day off many of you have this weekend, you'll be able to listen to a longer episode of my podcast this weekend. but anyways, this week we are going to dive into the histo...

This week's song & artist is someone who tended to write about things that were dark & scary and many of his songs had an edge about them that was everything but innocent & fun, which contradicted a lot of the other music that was coming out at the same time he was coming up under. he also had a big following in another country that was influential in a huge wave of music that was coming for the A...

This week's episode is a continuation of last week's where we dive into the history behind last week's song. in this episode I cover the history behind one of the label's this particular singer was on and I talk about the BIG bands that were connected to that label, and how that label fell apart, and how Jerry Butler got connected with two songwriters who were influential with developing a sound t...

This week I'm bringing to you one of my all time FAVORITE 60's R&B/Soul Records, one that a lot of people don't know but it's REALLY good. probably one of the best that came out of that decade. and it's one that has a relatable concept that I think everyone has experienced at least once in their lives and has been used time and time again in huge Pop songs after this song has been written, and it...

this week as per usual I'll get into the history behind last week's song & artist and talk about exactly who was this band & if they were real or fake, and I also talk about some of the transitions Nashville went through in the city in the mid 60's compared to where they were in the late 50's early 60's and what they tried to do to keep up with the times. but I also go in depth as to the behind th...

This week's episode is on one of my all time FAVORITE 60's sort of deep tracks, this song did not get very high up charts nor did it stay on the charts for very long, but it's probably one of the best tracks from the 60's where you can clearly see how much a huge 60's band influenced another group that was having a few hits at that time. and as per usual, I dive into what makes this song so great...

This week I'm going to cover the history behind last week's song & artist which was Sugar Shack by Jimmy Glimer & the Fireballs. I'm REALLY giving this group the benefit of the doubt here by talking about their history and sharing something cool/interesting about them that you may or may not have known about them. I also talk about how the band went through an evolution from being a strictly instr...
