We're got a fantastic match up this time out for the next in our series of Totally Epic Cover Battles. This time out, we're discussing a very sad song with two completely different versions that span over 30 years apart."Oh where oh where can my baby be?" sounds FAR different coming from J Frank Wilson than it does Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam. Both versions reached high positions on the charts when they were released and both are remembered for different reasons.Join us as Dave from the Beer In Front Podcast sits down to talk through the battle with us. As always we share what we like about the original and what we like about the cover. Many points everywhere and in between are discussed too.It's Season 7 Episode 4 of your baby's favorite music podcast: infectious Groove Podcast.

Very soon after we started the Infectious Groove Podcast, one of the biggest parts of our lives were taken away: LIVE CONCERTS. This might seem like a small worry for many, but for us concerts were a way of life. We, like everyone else, took precaution and waited patiently for the live concert experience to return. It's been just about a year since that happened, so we figured it was time to talk about it. Fellow OddPods Media member Richie from the Super Media Bros Podcast joins us this week to talk through it all.What mandates were in place? What precautions went away? What is the experience like at venues of different sizes? What does the future hold?? We answer all of these questions and more on Season 7, Episode 3 of your favorite podcast: the Infectious Groove!

Release in 2010, "The Suburbs" by Arcade Fire went on to massive critical and commercial success. Would you believe that we never got around to hearing the album? On top of that, would you believe that we never even got around to listening to Arcade Fire.....at all?? Well it's true!It's not just us either. This week we're joined by Dayton of the dockingbay77 podcast who is in the same boat as us. Dayton sat down to listen to and review this listener picked album choice without ever hearing one note of the bands music prior. Over the course of the episode, we think you'll hear some unique perspectives regarding not only the music, but our preconceptings prior to hearing the album.It's Season 7, Episode 2 of your favorite new SNL cast members, less famous cousins favorie music podcast: Infectious Groove Podcast!

"When the rain's blowin' in your face...and the whole world is on your case..." that's how this modern day standard starts. Nearly unrivaled lyricist Bob Dylan first brought the song "Make You Feel My Love" to the world in the fall of 1997. Since it's release, the song has been covered hundreds of times.We figured, what better way to kick off our SEVENTH season of bringing you the Infectious Groove Podcast than with our first ever THREE WAY Totally Epic Cover Battle.

Then we'll discuss the well known version from Adele.We let all 3 versions duke it out and tell you which one we think is best and why.

Somehow, someway, we've made it through yet another season of pretty much everyone's favorite music podcast. If you're confused as to what podcast I'm referencing, it's this one. I just figured I'd put that out there. If you're just tuning it, first of all, thank you, second of all, you're in for quite the wild ride. We've made it through a mountain of musical guests, a plethora of guest hosts, a global pandemic, the birth of a kid, a life-changing move across the country, and so much more. You guys have had a front-row seat to it all, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Without you, we wouldn't be here, and let's be honest here, that would suck some serious ass. With that being said, let's get into it! We all have that elder family member that thinks their version of a song or an artist is the end all be all because let's be honest "they just don't make em' like they used to" (according to Uncle Bob). Or hell, maybe you're the elder that thinks little Jimmy should shut up about his Tik Tok songs because they sure in the hell didn't originate there. Perhaps your inner "Karen" starts to rear its ugly head when you see a tween rocking a Pink Floyd or Aerosmith shirt that you're certain came from a department store. If we're being honest here, most of us probably have at least a little bit of some of these types of things ingrained within ourselves, mostly because we tend to become protective over the things that we cherish in life. Others are simply just grouchy assholes that tend to behave this way with everything in their lives. We call this "gatekeeping" and it really can be found in all parts of one's life. This week, we're ending season 6 with a bang, and a special guest. Now that I am reading this, that last part is worded a little strangely, so before you ask, no we're not banging our special guest on the season 6 finale. If that's what you're looking for, perhaps you've stumbled upon the wrong podcast, or maybe the wrong platform entirely, but that's for you to decide. Typically I'd tell you right here, who's going to be on with us this week, but it's the season finale, so guess what...it's a surprise. Join us as we try and bust through the gates, and tell the gatekeeper to get lost. It's the season 6 finale of Johnny Rzeznik's plastic surgeon's favorite music podcast. LET'S GO!!!

Not many people have tried to cover the one and only, undisputed King of Pop Michael Jackson. Those that have usally find themselves trying to top something that is already perfect. A funny thing happened to the band Alien Ant Farm: they didn't set out to top Michael Jackson and they didn't even want to have their cover be the focal point of their career.Born from playing a few riffs at shows, the Alien Ant Farm cover of the Michael Jackson classic "Smooth Criminal" went on to be what they're best known for. It was an enormous hit for Michael Jackson himself, finding it's way into all of his tours after it's release.This week on the Infectious Groove Podcast, we welcome in KC and Aaron from The Itch Rocks Podcast to talk through both versions of this iconic song.
