the Millennial Throwback Machine

Hey Guys! So I know it's been a while since I have last uploaded an episode of my podcast, and it's because I unintentionally took a break from doing this podcast, primarily because I was torn as to what I should do about my hosting service situation. you see, I was going to move my podcast entirely to Anchor, but then I realized that I would loose all of my information in regards to my analytics...

this week's episode I get into the history behind the Classics IV and their initial history and how they got formed as a band and the initial personnel changes they experienced as a group and also I get into some cool behind the scenes stories on the making of their hits. Now a lot of this information is also in the episode I did on them when I originally covered these guys back in 2018 when I fir...

this week I am introducing a brand new segment of my podcast called Retake Episodes. the reason why these episodes are called "Retake" episodes is because they focus on a group or an artist I did on my podcast already quite some episodes back. but I'm simply doing another song by them that I haven't done on my podcast and I'm reintroducing them to you guys for those of you who are new to my podcas...

in keeping with the current trends of the pandemic and the fact that cases keep going down and people are going back to work, I'm gonna shorten the length of these next few podcasts to get you guys to tune in again as your lives are getting increasingly busy as businesses are opening back up and people don't have as much free time right now as they did in early January. so to accommodate to that,...

This week's podcast is ALL about Phil Spector and his long and extensive history. today I talk about how he developed his "Wall Of Sound" and the Musicians he used on his sessions and his methods to his madness for his productions and exactly what musicians he used on his sessions and how much he experimented with Overdubbing before it was "cool" and industry standard, and also, I talk about how h...

hey guys, sorry if this episode is coming at ya a little bit late, was trying to figure out how to follow up the episode I did a few weeks ago on both She & Him & Phil Spector, and the original plan was the do both a history lesson on both of those musical people and combine them into one episode, but then I realized that that might be a little too much for this podcast, and I didn't want to try t...

This week's episode is PRETTY FREAKING LONG so I commend you for listening to the whole thing. I mean I know it's almost two hours long but I figured if you guys find the info in this episode interesting, you will listen to the whole thing, but I really do appreciate you if your able to get through this entire podcast episode. and it's worth listening to the whole thing, because I talk about SO MU...

Happy New Year Guys! I'm back this week to talk about a genre of music that I have been waiting for a VERY long time to do, but I just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. In fact, I"m gonna be dedicating the next four weeks to this genre of music but I think it's time I do some Girl 60's songs since I honestly haven't done any, up until now. So this song covers that very specific genre of music...

this week's episode will be the last of 2020 for this podcast. if you made it to this point congrats. I know this was a tough year for a lot of people but I hope my podcast was nothing but an incredibly great escape from the tumultuous and frighting and difficult year which was 2020. I think 2021 will be a much better year for a whole lot of people and as far as this podcast is concerned, it's rea...

This week's episode I believe will be the second to last one before the end of 2020, so I hope this one finds you guys well. as per usual with this podcast, i go down a COMPLETE 180 turn from last week's artist and song I did last week and talk about a COMPLETELY Different band/artist from last week, and into a COMPLETELY different genre as well. This week I do a half female/half guy group (my fir...

Sorry if this podcast is coming at ya guys a little bit too late, but I have had a pretty busy week because I just started a new job that I am currently enjoying, but anyways, I have some VERY exciting announcements for you guys so that's why the intro for this podcast is a little long, but these are all REALLY good announcements and things to potentially look forward too with my podcast and me in...

this week's episode is going to focus on a very interesting 60's song that kind of falls under that Easy Listening Category but it's also very soulful at the same time and I also explain to my listeners exactly what the "Easy Listening" genre was back in the 60's and I also tell THEE EXCLUSIVE behind the scenes story behind this song, how it was recorded, where he discovered it, where it was recor...

After taking a week off from my podcast to celebrate my 25th bday, and for celebrating almost 120 of this podcast (even though this isn't exactly Episode 120, it's technically episode 118. but regardless of the number of episodes i have put out so far, I decided to do another interview episode since we are close to 120 episodes of this podcast I put out. but this interview episode is ABSOLUTELY LI...

Today's episode is just one and not split into two parts because i will be taking next week off for my Bday and will come back the week after for my interview episode with someone around my age who will ask me hopefully some interesting questions about 60's music and hopefully that will be good. in the meantime enjoy this really cool episode on a genre of music you don't really hear too much of an...

this week I"m going to be talking about the history behind last week's artist and song, talk about the recording session details on last week's artist and song plus go into the hidden R&B Music History scene in Nashville in the 60's, a scene that is often not known or talked about by Historians and one thing that a lot of people tend to forget about or not think about when they think of the Musica...

This week I'll be tackling my first ever male female duet of the 60's (one that you probably won't be familiar with ESPECIALLY if your a Millennial) but one can argue that even if your a baby boomer and you grew up with this kind of music, this one might have slipped through the cracks for you because this particular duo is relatively obscure because they only had 3 charting singles and none of th...

this week's episode is all about the history behind last week's band, and today, we are going to talk about how this band was formed, what the band went through before they had success and what were some of the HUGE artists/bands this group was associated with during their time as a band. I also talk about the behind the scenes information on their biggest hit songs and the recording technology th...

So this week I'm taking a break from doing Solo artists and instead focusing on a band that if your a Millennial, you probably don't know about but I can personally GUARANTEE you you'll know about the groups this band was affiliated with, and I'll talk more about that next week, but for now, I'm going to talk about one of their best songs and break it down for you and show you guys what makes it s...

this week's episode is on one of my FAVORITE 60's songs because this is one in which I can personally relate to the song's lyrics in such a deep emotional level and I talk about that in today's episode, and I also talk about what makes this song so great both with the music and the lyrics and in next week's episode i will dive more into the history behind this week's artist and the behind the scen...

This week's episode is all about the history behind last week's artist and song. this week I talk about How the Band the Traits was formed the history behind the recording session of "Treat Her Right", and the musicians on the record, and how the song was written plus the interesting circumstances among the release of the song, and I also talk about what exactly is "Blue Eyed Soul" and the whole h...

This week's episode is going to be all about a Classic Blue Eyed Soul record from the 60's and one that was used in the recent Quinton Tarantino Movie Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and one that is pretty iconic! this song has a really cool and coy vibe about it and it's very sexy but not super complicated as far as it's chord progression is concerned but it's VERY sexually suggestive. I would NOT...

in this week's episode, I dive head first into the whole psychedelic Rock genre and of it's origins and I do an in depth description of the genre and who were the main pioneers of the genre and some of the first songs that came out of it, plus I talk about the history behind Kenny Rogers & The First Edition. I talk about how the band was formed, how they got started and the origins of this particu...

in This week's episode, I tackle a 60's Music Sub genre I haven't talked about in a long time (I've only done one artist/band that falls into this genre and I have only interviewed one guy who was in a 60's Psychedelic Rock band) but in this week's episode, I dive into exactly what makes Psychedelic Rock Psychedelic Rock and what makes this song so interesting both musically and lyrically, and jus...

Sorry if this episode is coming at ya a little bit late, but I have been a little busy with doing other things, and for those of you who are wondering, my website is ALMOST done (I'm putting the finishing touches on it now). it should be out by either this week or this weekend, so I'll post the link to that in my Instagram bio and the link to that will also be in the text description of next week'...

this week's episode is on another British Invasion band (one that you might have heard before, and I know you would know at least one of their songs, but I'm not doing that one song I know you would know by them, I'm doing a song that you probably haven't heard before if your around my age). but today I break down what makes this song so good both musically and lyrically and analyze it and show yo...
