Tom MacDonald took the internet by storm several years ago by triggering every sensibilty known to liberals. He calls girls girls. He calls boys boys. Crazy, I know. But whether you are a hardcore blue haired liberal or a gun waving, monster truck driving right winger or somewhere in between (if that's possible these days), one song that we may all get to put our protest signs down to listen...

This band needs no introduction. If you've never heard of them please come out from whatever rock you have been living under. Appetite For Destruction, the debut album from Guns and Roses, released in the summer of 1987 to rocky reviews. MTV didn't want to play their videos and music store refused to display their album due to the controversial cover art work. However, after a tweak to t...

Green Day did in 1994 what most punk bands only wish they could have done (the wishes they kept in their hearts for fear of being called a wanna be sell out), they hit the mainstream with a veracity like no other punk band before them. From music videos on MTV to mud slinging fights at Woodstock '94, this band may have been at the right place at the right time, but the conversations they help...

On November 18th, 1993 one of the greatest live music performances took place and most people didn't know it was happening. Five months later, with the death of Kurt Cobain, the performance began to take on a life and meaning of its own. 30 years later we look back at the struggle of production and the genius of performance and ask the question: Who knows best, the professionals or the artist...

The final Beatles song Now and Then has finally been released. What started out as a demo from John Lennon recorded sometime before his death in 1980, revisited again in 1995 by the three surviving Beatles at the time (George Harrison later passed away in 2001), and finally completed through the help of Peter Jackson (director of the Lord of the Rings films). This song was made possible only becau...

I keep a short list of celebrities that I would love to meet in person tucked away in my brain for good measure, Post Malone is on that list. His ability to reach deep within himself and draw his listeners into the process of expression is admirable to say the least. Lyrically, I believe he has encapsulated the feelings of an entire generation, a generation who has had more resources and technolog...

A lot can happen in 12 years. That's how long its been between Blink 182's last album Neighborhoods and their latest, One More Time. The original members Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker, are back together and in full force. Does this mean one more time for one more album or does this mean so much more? follow us on Instagram @ unpaulishedpodcast opening music : "Mischief...

On September 7, 1996 Tupac Shakur was shot while in the passenger seat of his car moments after attending a Mike Tyson boxing match at the MGM in Las Vegas, Nevada. Six days later, on September 13 he succumbed to his wounds leaving behind a legacy of music and big screen performances. Now, 27 years later an arrest has finally been made in his murder case. What caused a young man's life to be...

I am not a "Swiftie" by any stretch of the imagination. However, I have to admit I am highly intrigued by the whirlwind of media surrounding her new found relationship with NFL player Travis Kelce. All she did was show up to a football game! And while we're on the subject, which side are you on? Did Taylor Swift make Travis Kelce a household name or is it the other way around? Does...

The year was 1999 and while everyone was bracing for the end of the world due to the oncoming doom called Y2K the Red Hot Chili Peppers released an album called Californication. The title track of the record did not describe the end of the world. It did, however, describe the dark world as it was and as it would be for the decades to come, a destination for the export of Californication. follow us...

FOR VIRGINIA AND TAYLOR These are the words you will find faintly printed on the back of this record's cover. The songs contained within the cover would not be so faint. Dave Grohl reaches into his deepest depths to bring to surface the grief of losing both his mother and his dearest friend in the same season. We all deal with grief. We all deal with death. But when will those things be dealt...

This week I had the opportunity to sit down with long time friend Miggy Sanchez, founding member and lead vocalist of Relent. In 2016 Relent hit the ground running and they have the highway miles, air miles, and stories to show for it. Their music and message of hope in the face of hopelessness has taken them all over the world. So with coming up on eight years of writing, recording and touring is...

It's 1991. The pop musical landscape is ever changing and at the forefront of this change comes a band from Seattle via a short San Diego flight, Pearl Jam. The only question I had in the fall of 1991 concerning this album was, "Do I purchase this new digital aged compact disc, or do I stick with the trusty cassette tape." Those were simpler times, true, but to be fair I was only in...

Few artists can boast the way that Kanye West can, that is both a fact and a play on words. With the kind of impact he has had in the worlds of fashion, rap, and hip hop it's easy to see why he would boast. However, everything Kanye had built up to that point almost came tumbling down following the controversy with Taylor Swift in September of 2009 at the MTV VMA's. If there was ever the...

Country musician Anthony Oliver (you know, the guy with the red beard) has recently taken youtube and social media outlets by storm with the song Rich Men North of Richmond . But why, or how? He's not part of a well oiled media campaign. He's not signed to a major record label. He's not donning the latest fashions. He's not surrounded by the "who's who" of the mu...

On Leap Year (February 29th) of 2020, just weeks before COVID 19 brought the city of San Antonio to its knees MXPX came through and brought the city to its feet. Energetically led by Mike Herrera, bassist and lead vocalist of the band, the 23 song set was recorded at the Paper Tiger and released two years later. I remember the first time I saw MXPX perform live, it was around 1997. Its refreshing...

The music world recently lost the life and voice of Sinead O’Connor in July of 2023. Her most commercially successful song "Nothing Compares 2 U" was on her second studio album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got." The title of the album did not match the life she would go on to live. It seems that Sinead's life consisted mostly of going after the things or people she d...

When Nirvana’s second album cleverly titled Nevermind came bursting into my living room in 1991 it did not stop there. It took me somewhere I never thought it could. Eighteen years later that journey came to an abrupt end. I have the scars to prove it, and I reveal them with a peace beyond words. Your music is taking you somewhere. Don’t believe me? Oh well, whatever, NEVERMIND. follow us on Insta...
