The Weekly List with Rich Larson and Daniel G. Moir

Rich and Danny take some time (but not enough time) to wish the great Willie Nelson a happy 92nd birthday. Really, this show is them playing a bunch of his songs and just kind of marveling at the depth and breadth of his crazy remarkable career. Listen to them fanboy if you want, but the music on this show is – obviously – amazing.

Rich and Danny indulge themselves in 80’s nostalgia as they discuss the biggest television show of their teenage years, and break down the significant influence Miami Vice had on the music industry back in the day.

Tonight Rich and Danny thoroughly enjoy themselves going through another batch of One Hit Wonders. They actually get along really well on the show tonight. Yes, that’s weird, but don’t let it throw you off. Just enjoy the music.

A topic that Rich suggested, simply because he has been afraid Danny would come to him and want to do a Mr. Roboto Show, or something. He needn’t have worried, however, because Paradise Theatre is the point that Danny regards as the creative peak of Styx, one of his favorite bands. The album tells the story of the venerable old theater in Chicago that opened in 1928 and was torn down exactly 30 ye...

Danny takes the week off, and in come Mrs. Moxie and Rich’s dear friend since early childhood, Kate Pehrson, to celebrate the magnificence, the majesty, and the exquisite glory of Cher. Seriously – Rich, his oldest friend, a Drag Queen and Cher. What else do you need?

Rich and Danny go through their complicated relationship with Eric Clapton, and pretty much just gush about his music. It’s that kind of show tonight.

This week, Rich and Danny explore the world of the epic song. The music on this show is the stuff of euphoria for a music producer. These songs all start out as just a melody on a guitar or a piano, but eventually turn into forces of nature packed with instrumentation, grandiose arrangements, and oh-so-much drama. It’s a long show, but it’s a very fun one. And, as a bonus(!), due to some technical...

Using the new Led Zeppelin documentary, Becoming Led Zeppelin , as a good excuse, Rich and Danny pretty well just geek out over the band’s heralded second album, Led Zeppelin II.

This week, Annie Larson joins her husband Rich for what is now their annual Valentines Day Show. They try really, really hard to not be sappy and all that, but let’s be honest, they’re adorable. Happy Valentines Day!

Rich is just positively giddy, because Phil Collins’ third solo album, No Jacket Required, was his favorite album in high school, and he still loves the music deeply. The boys talk a lot about something called Gated Reverb, discuss the mystery of the “bonus track,” and break down No Jacket Required as the album approaches the 40th anniversary of its release.

This week, on the night before the legendary Teri Kath’s 79th birthday, Rich and Danny take a look at one of the finest horn bands ever to play rock & roll. No real arguments. No meltdowns. No passive aggressive dissing between the two of them. Just respect for a Hall of Fame band, and especially for their underrated, and tragically fallen, comrade.

Rich and Danny are joined by their friend Mike Stiles to debate and discuss the concept of “Yacht Rock.” While each of them will profess a deep affection for the music on this show, there is some question as to the legitimacy of Yacht Rock as a genre. It was only identified years after the moment had passed, and that identification came from a parody web show that was not always incredibly respect...

One of the conversations Rich and Danny had with the new year approaching was about Phil Collins and how they needed to give him more attention. This show is the first in a series of Phil Collins related editions of The Weekly List, tonight focusing on his amazing debut solo album, Face Value. You’re gonna love it, even if you think you don’t like Phil Collins, because as it turns out, you really...

The traditional first show of every new year on The Weekly List is the annual presentation of the Daniel G. Moir Music Awards. Danny’s not quite feeling the humor in the world as much as he has in past years, so he takes a more serious approach. But, it is Danny after all, so things aren’t totally somber. Also Rich runs the board on this show.

Rich and Danny attempt to establish a tradition by inviting the two alternate co-hosts onto the show to discuss the year that was. This time, Rich’s beloved wife Annie sits in for the unavailable Kristi Pursell – perhaps next year there will be five of them in the studio? – and each host presents three songs that represent 2024 to and for them. Happy New Year from the Weekly List Collective.

This show is a small dream come true for Rich. Fifty years ago next week, Bob Dylan called a small group of Twin Cities musicians together to record a few tracks for his forthcoming album, Blood on the Tracks . The product of those sessions was one half of Rich’s favorite album, and also his favorite song, Tangled Up in Blue . This week, not only does Rich get to geek out about his favorite album,...

Laura Meyers does her own solo show takeover – although Rich gets far more involved than anyone had planned – to bring us the 2024 installment of her annual mental-health check-in shows.

Every year during the first week of December, Rich and Danny do a Beatles themed show in honor of John Lennon. This year, they invite their old friend Kollibri terre Sonnenblume to join them and talk about his reimagined version of the White Album as a one disc collection called Apple Cart. Three old friends playing great music by the Beatles and then talking about each song as they go. Really, it...

Because who doesn’t equate Thanksgiving with The Red Rocker? Okay, Rich and Danny know the timing of this show is a little weird, but the Sammy Hagar show has been bumped at least twice since October when the boys had originally intended to do this show to celebrate Sammy’s birthday. Oh well, you’ll still get Rich and Danny’s takes on the guy they call the Rock & Roll Everyman. Happy Thanksgiv...

Thanks to a generous invitation from the members of Northfield Band Fred the Bear, Rich, Danny and their merry band of knuckleheads find themselves recording at the legendary Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls, just like Nirvana did. Except this show probably isn’t as good as In Utero. Regardless, they celebrate the location by playing music that was recorded at the studio. Listen. You’ll be able t...

Rich and Danny are joined by a full cast characters to discuss and digest the second election of Donald J. Trump to the American Presidency. The music is appropriate for the times.

It’s Halloween, so a coven of witches (or as we like to call them, Annie Larson, Laura Meyers and Kristi Pursell) stopped in for the first in a series of Weekly List Takeover shows to talk about taking a bite out of the patriarchy with a list of songs by some great witches and bitches.

This week, Danny and Rich are joined by their pal Mike Stiles to break down Meat Loaf’s magnum opus, Bat Out of Hell. It turns out this is the best selling album of all time in Australia, so if you think that you don’t like the album, maybe give it another shot. Rich, Mike and Danny certainly do their best to make it enjoyable for you. And, honestly, 32 million Australians cannot be wrong.

Somehow it’s been 20 years since Green Day resurrected their floundering career and catapulted themselves to more success – and much more respect – than they had ever experienced before. Not only is American Idiot the best album they have recorded to date, but many (Rich and Danny included) consider it to be the best album of the 21st century’s first decade. For this reason only, and certainly not...

This week the boys are joined by Mrs. Moxie and Rich’s “Rich & Ryan in the Morning” Show partner, Ryan Foley (aka Mr. Moxie), as they continue the weeklong one year anniversary celebration of Out in the Open with Mrs. Moxie.
