Keith's been reading again. He read a book about Duran Duran - Please Please Tell Me NowAnd Tom Petty - Petty: The BiographyPhil Collins - Not Dead Yet: The MemoirBut the most interesting book of the lot was Set the Boy Free, an autobiography by Johnny Marr. A man you probably know as the guitarist and founding member of The Smiths. The Smiths, however, are only a small part of the story. You probably knew he was in Modest Mouse for a few years in the mid naughties, but did you know he also played with Beck and Talking Heads? Or that he played an integral art in The The and founded Electronic? Still active to this day, Johnny Marr continues to deliver.Support the show

Our third episode where we play a whole album song by song and give you our opinion.

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?Support the show

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 tragic one. Vocalist, bassist and all-around bandleader Mark Sandman died onstage in Italy before he could make it to 9-9-99 and sit on his back porch to drink red wine and French fries with pepper. One album that was mostly complete at the time of Sandman's death was released posthumously and an ill-fated Orchestra Morphine tour ensued. Now, twenty-some-odd years later, instead of universal adulation and acclaim, Morphine is in danger of slipping away like wisps of smoke.Along the way they touch on the City of Devils, Tom Waits, and the Butchered Rodents, and revisit the saxophone-centric film classics, The Lost Boys and Lost Highway. Somehow PJ Harvey and Les Claypool fit into this as well.Episode artwork by Mike Joyce. Background music by Motorholmes.Support the show

As the Dads approach 50, they discuss they bands they'd still like to see in concert and some they've missed. One such band was Nirvana.

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, and were even name checked in a Paul McCartney video. These two inscrutable brothers from Southern California have been one step ahead of the musical zeitgeist of the time for years.Come join The New Dad Rock and they explore Sparks.

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 a sub-genre affectionately known as Space Rock.Space rock emerged from an era where space was truly the final frontier.

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 somehow devolves into Keith and Steve talking about their wedding playlists! And no podcast would be complete without a trip into the Hollywood Hills to meet Trent Reznor, Flood and Marilyn Manson.

You literally have the power to determine what language they use, their view of the world, whether to call them Kleenex or tissues, and most importantly--what kind of music they listen to.Do you just blast them with Kids Bop, Disney Radio and Little Einsteins? Or do you survey the history of music, culling the best sounds from the past seven decades, in the hopes that they will develop a love and appreciation for the classic?I think you already know the path that the dads at The New Dad Rock chose; Ween!In this week's episode, Steve unearths a mix he made his 5-year old daughter over a decade ago.

H.A. Eugene is back and that means we're going deep. Deep into the world of trap, electro, ambient, soundtracks and nothingness. And since it's just about Halloween, he focuses on some of the spookier aspects.You won't hear it if you don't listen.As we age the anger of industrial gives way to a mellower though no less dark pathway through witch house and on to trip hop, trap and post punk. Don't worry, we'll describe these genres for you in glorious detail. Eventually you catch 50's eye in the not to far off distance. You deconstruct. Soundscapes, soundprieces, themes from a video games, horror movie soundtracks. It falls apart. Everything in its right place.What even is this music?100 gecsUniform and The BodyKABurialGhostemaneSALEMDalekMica LeviColin Stetson4:33FACSDisappearsDavid Bowieblack midiSupport the show (https://teespring.com/stores/the-new-dad-rock)
