    Send us a textTiny Human, Giant Questions!Hold onto your hats, folks! This week, the Wednesday Night Podcast has gone full-on diaper duty! Our very own Andrew has officially welcomed a tiny human grandchild into the world! Congratulations, Andrew... now get ready for approximately eighteen years of Andrew taking more pictures than ever!Fresh off the miracle of life, Andrew's brain has apparently entered a new dimension of grandparental logic. This week, he poses the deeply scientific question: Can the gender of his newborn be predicted by listening to Stevie Wonder's seminal album, Songs in the Key of Life?Yes, you read that right. We delve into the intricate and highly accurate methodology of interpreting musical cues for chromosomal determination. Does "Sir Duke" point to a boy? Is "Isn't She Lovely" a dead giveaway? Prepare for a hilarious descent into musical pseudo-science as the rest of us try to gently (and not-so-gently) steer Andrew back to reality.Expect tangents galore, increasingly bewildered reactions from the usual crew, and possibly a spirited debate on the merits of "I Wish" as a reliable gender oracle.website: actonmusicproject.comemail: music@actonmusicproject.comCraig's phone number: ‪(978) 310-1613‬

    Send us a textThis week on the Wednesday Night Podcast, things get WILD. Our very own Joe, bless his heart, dives headfirst into the fascinating (and apparently adorable, according to him) world of Dire Wolves. Yes, those prehistoric behemoths that could probably swallow your chihuahua whole.But wait, there's more! Joe's research was conducted entirely while grooving to the iconic sounds of... you guessed it... Steppenwolf! We're not sure if "Born to Be Wild" inspired his fascination or just drowned out any sense of impending doom, but here we are.The rest of the gang, however, are having absolutely none of it. They spend a good chunk of the episode mercilessly mocking Joe's insistence on the "cute" factor of a creature with teeth the size of bananas. The conversation devolves into a hilarious debate about the plausibility (and sheer terror) of Jurassic Park-style consequences, with Joe firmly planted in the "nah, they'd be chill" camp.So tune in for tales of ancient predators, questionable musical pairings, and the comedic stylings of a man who clearly hasn't seen enough dinosaur movies. You might learn something, you'll definitely laugh, and you'll probably want to hide your small pets.Wednesday Night Podcast: Where the only thing scarier than a Dire Wolf is Joe's optimism.website: actonmusicproject.comemail: music@actonmusicproject.comCraig's phone number: ‪(978) 310-1613‬

    Send us a textStrange Magic, Sad Illusions: An ELO-rical LetdownThis week on The Wednesday Night Podcast, we're tuning into the cosmic sounds of Electric Light Orchestra's "Face The Music," with a special spotlight on the wonderfully weird "Strange Magic." Prepare for soaring strings, Jeff Lynne's unmistakable vocals, and a generous serving of 1970s prog-pop goodness.But hold on to your laser beams, because things are about to get… decidedly less magical. Inspired by the mystical vibes of ELO, Craig recounts his utterly underwhelming experience at a David Copperfield magic show in the dazzling (and apparently illusion-challenged) city of Las Vegas.Prepare for tales of vanishing acts that didn't quite vanish, levitation that looked suspiciously like wires, and the crushing realization that maybe, just maybe, some "strange magic" is just… not that strange. Did Craig witness a true illusionist, or just a man with a fog machine and a questionable haircut?So, dim the lights, put on your headphones, and join us for a journey from the symphonic heights of ELO to the disappointing depths of Vegas stage magic. It's a show that will leave you wondering if the real magic is just the ability to get through a mediocre performance.website: actonmusicproject.comemail: music@actonmusicproject.comCraig's phone number: ‪(978) 310-1613‬

    Send us a textThe Lexicon of Love, Lawnmowers of London, and... Well, You'll See.This week on The Wednesday Night Podcast, we're getting sophisticated (for about five seconds) as we delve into ABC's seminal album, "The Lexicon of Love." Prepare for lush orchestrations, Martin Fry's suave vocals, and a healthy dose of 80s romanticism.But hold on tight, because this is The Wednesday Night Podcast, and things are about to take a sharp left turn. For reasons that will become... somewhat clear (or maybe not at all), this album somehow propels us into a deep discussion about the surprisingly competitive world of British lawn mowers. Yes, you read that right.And because that wasn't bizarre enough, we'll also be pondering the musical contributions of Phil Collins (as one does) and, in a segment that we can only describe as "classic WNP," we'll be venturing into the uncharted territory of... anal scraping. Trust us, the connection (however tenuous) will be explained. Ish.So, if you've ever wondered how ABC, gardening equipment, the drummer from Genesis, and a rather invasive medical procedure can possibly be linked, then you absolutely NEED to tune in. Your Wednesday night is about to get a whole lot weirder.website: actonmusicproject.comemail: music@actonmusicproject.comCraig's phone number: ‪(978) 310-1613‬

Prepare for a deep dive into the emotional complexities of 80s pop, the power of a well-placed saxophone riff, and maybe even a few tales from music camp at Whootin Woods.But hold onto your feathered hair, folks, because things are about to get weird. We're drawing a direct (and possibly insane) line between the reclusive, saxophone-playing cryptid, Saxsquatch, and the late, great George Michael. Is it a conspiracy? Is it just Joe's fever dream? We're not entirely sure.Speaking of Joe, our own resident saxophonist is back, and he's bringing his trademark love-hate relationship with Bob along for the ride. Expect passionate saxophone solos, bitter arguments about Bob's musical taste, and maybe even a dramatic reenactment of a Saxsquatch sighting.So, grab your best pastel blazer, prepare for some emotional saxophone ballads, and join us for a night of Wham!tastic chaos and cryptid conspiracies.

    Send us a Text Message.Join the band as in Pink Floyd, The Wall style we journey through the labyrinthine corridors of time, seeking sustenance and solace in the hallowed halls of Italian cuisine. Yet, the cosmic forces conspire against us, a black hole of temporal distortion. Joe, our fearless leader, finds himself trapped in a vortex of spatial awareness, his cranium a reluctant percussionist against the unyielding concrete. A dark side of the moon-like experience, a descent into madness, all for the sake of a carb-loaded nirvana. Join us as we explore the meaning of life, or at least the meaning of being late to dinner.website: actonmusicproject.comemail: music@actonmusicproject.comCraig's phone number: ‪(978) 310-1613‬
