Baxie talks with Steely Dan biographer Brian Sweet. His book “Steely Dan: Reeling in the Years” is about to be released on paperback this August. The book is the definitive story about how Donald Fagan and Walter Becker became two of the most unlikely Rock Stars in history. Brian follows the story that took them from being reclusive song writers at Bard College, to reluctantly performing on stage, to refusing to play live so that they could focus all of their attention on writing and producing some of the most flawless albums ever recorded. Such an amazing story! Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and on the Rock102 app! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee!

More importantly, his band Hallelujah Ward has just released their first full length record "Everybody Swoons". And to be honest, this may be the best record to come out of the city of Milwaukee in years! That's not only one hell of a compliment. It's meant with total sincerity. Hallelujah Ward is outstanding!

Baxie welcomes back Barry Andrews from Shriekback! Barry has just released Shriekback's 18th album, “Monument!”. Barry not only talks about the album, but he also talks about starting the band in mid-80's with the late Dave Allen (former bass player with the Gang of Four) who died last month at the age of 69. Barry (the former keyboard player and original member of my favorite band-XTC) talks about the idea of aging, touring, playing solo, and about his very specific thoughts about releasing his music!

Baxie welcomes back Mark Burgess from The Chameleons! The Chameleons have just released their 2nd EP over the last ten months (“Where Are You” and Tomorrow Remember Yesterday”). These two new releases represent their first batch of new music since 2001. A new full-length album is due later this year. The Chameleons are one of the great yet most overlooked bands of all time. If you know The Chameleons, then you know what I'm talking about out. If you don't know them—you need to. They were a band that could have (and should have) been in the same conversation with the likes of The Smiths, Echo & The Bunnymen, and The Cure. Instead, they chose a different path. You can hear more about that in my interview with Mark Burgess from May of 2024. This time we talk about reforming the band, recording new music, and the power of their live performances over the years. The Chameleons are coming to Big Night Live in Boston on April 30th. Just a magnificent band. And I don't throw that word around lightly. Listen on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, and on all Rock102 digital platforms! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram
