Keith's been reading again. He read a book about Duran Duran - Please Please Tell Me Now And Tom Petty - Petty: The Biography Phil Collins - Not Dead Yet: The Memoir But the most interesting book of the lot was Set the Boy Free , an autobiography by Johnny Marr.

Keith's brother-in-law play bass in a Cure cover band. Or did. Or will again. Anyway, what's important is the discussion of the greatness of The Cure and the importance of bassists.  If The Cure is underrated, does that mean R.E.M. is overrated? How about Depeche Mode? Or the Violent Femmes? And what makes these bands tick? Is it the bassist? Let us know what’s up. Support the show Did y...

Instead of participating in Record Store Day this year, Steve bought a couple records that he wanted even more--and he didn't have to wait in line. Meanwhile, Keith crossed his lines on the timing of an Osees concert . As usual, hilarity ensues. But what were those records Steve bought, you ask. Why, none other than the timeless purveyors of low rock , Morphine . Morphine's story is a tr...

If you were about to turn 50 and could go see five bands in concert, who would they be and why? As the Dads discuss this conundrum, they get distracted and end up talking about Sparks. Who is Sparks? Only one of the most influential bands of the past five decades. They've inspired Joy Division, Queen and Bjork, collaborated with Giorgio Morodor , Franz Ferdinand and members of the Go-Gos , an...

If you're like us, you grew up watching skate, snowboard, surf and especially ski videos. The best ones had the best soundtracks and that meant a lot of punk.

In this episode, you will hear about: Wipers Pere Ubu SOD Pat Smea...

We are in search of space rock's origin story: Hawkwind. If you've heard of them at all, it's likely because their bassist went on to form one of the most recognizable, if not influential metal bands of all time. Of course we're talking about Lemmy and Motorhead . Motorhead was actually named after a song by Hawkwind, a band hugely influential in their own right. Progenitors of...

We started this podcast back in the early days of Covid alarmed, but hopeful for a future without disease and despair.

Nonetheless, we must persevere, like two erstwhile bands who have thrived during the pandemic. Phish a...

Please join us for our second annual attempt to recall the new music we liked in 2021.

For one it takes time to simmer, to establish a reputation. That early euphoria can fade, and uncovered gems could reveal themselves years later. Th...

One word: flamethrower! Keith's erstwhile bandmate Darin is back to discuss his musical youth including forays deep into the heart of late 80s/early 90s raves (err, acid house) in LA, and how that set him on the path of enlightenment to find Nirvana. Darin then shares the emotional side of music as he recounts the tension and release of Sigur Ros and an intimate Peter Murphy gig, which someho...

It was 20 years ago today that Keith and Steve saw Oysterhead at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, and almost 20 days ago that Steve saw Primus perform at the Beacon Theatre in NYC.

Anyway, Keith & Steve try to answer...
