Today we're discussing Warrior on the Edge of Time by pioneering space rock band Hawkwind. Warrior on the Edge of Time is the band's fifth album and their last with Lemmy Kilmister, who went on to form Motörhead after his firing. The events that led up to this, however, are a roller coaster of psychedelics, mayhem, and alleged backstabbing.

He's one of the biggest rock stars of our time. He's talented, influential, he works tirelessly to help people in need, and he and his band U2 had the audacity to give one of their albums away for free. Out of all the famous icons in the world, Bono has to be one of the worst right? Wait, why's that again? We are joined by Danny's original podcast cohost Bobby Kennedy to dig into the subject.whatdoweknow.co.nzhttps://buymeacoffee.com/whatdoweknowshowFaceBook Page: https://www.facebook.com/whatdoweknowshow/FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/996177092759495Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatdoweknowshow/Send us Fan MailSupport the show
Today we're dissecting Metal Box/Second Edition by Public Image Limited (or PiL for short). Formed by John Lydon (formerly Johnny Rotten) directly after leaving the Sex Pistols, PiL is an ever-changing beast of a band that continued to push the boundaries of rock music in strange and unexpected ways.

A new album from The Strokes. ‘Reality Awaits' is the band's seventh studio album, following on from their 2020 Grammy Award-winning album ‘The New Abnormal'. 'Reality Awaits' is filled with apocalyptic imagery, corporate imperialism, and political commentary, paired with the heavy use of pitch correction and auto-tune. Chris Schulz joined Roman Travers to share his thoughts on the album. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode, I'm taking you behind the music to uncover the incredible story of Fleetwood Mac's legendary album Rumours. It's an album that has sold more than 40 million copies, won Album of the Year, and continues to captivate listeners nearly 50 years after its release—but its creation was anything but smooth. I'll explore how divorces, breakups, and personal heartbreak nearly tore the band apart while somehow inspiring one of the greatest albums in rock history. We'll dive into the stories behind iconic songs like "Dreams," "Go Your Own Way," "The Chain," and "Don't Stop," uncover fascinating behind-the-scenes moments from the recording sessions, and talk about why Rumours still resonates with music fans of every generation.

Gracie Abrams has dropped her third album Daughter From Hell, and the reviews are savage.

SUPPORT THIS PODCAST! Join Patreon Get some merch ~~~~ FEATURED SONG REC – “allcaps” (from KITE TO CAMDEN) ~~~~ There's a troubling trend in music production that I thought had run its course. Artists, and especially producers, are severely limiting their range – dynamics, tempo, expression, sound. It's made for some respectable but bland albums. BUT there are nearly as many artists doing the OPPOSITE. And I have a whole bunch of examples of both. I do quick takes of OVER 30 albums – most released this year. They run the range from new rock (My New Band Believe) to stalwarts (McCartney & the Stones) to dance (Robyn) to pop (BTS) to hip hop (Tierra Whack) and wayyyyy more. You won't find a review collection as eclectic as this – except for the other seven Quick Takes I did! As always, I add my favorite tracks to my annual playlist, which you can check out here: What's a 2026? - Nick's Playlist Did you listen to any of these? Were any your favorites? Do you like how eclectic the selections were? Did you discover something you now love? Did I leave out some you wish I'd covered? Are you able to keep current with your listening?

In this episode of Seeing Them Live, Charles interviews Alan Rosenberg. Alan is the creator and host of The Alan Rosenberg Show on YouTube, a channel dedicated to his lifelong passion for music. Growing up on Long Island, New York, Alan was introduced to rock and roll at an early age through his older sister, whose bedroom walls were covered in posters of The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and The Allman Brothers. By age 10, Alan was already building what would become a meticulously catalogued collection of over 5,000 albums — all of which he has listened to multiple times. In this episode, Alan takes host Charles Zona through the roots of his obsession, including the typed yearly album lists he kept starting in 1973, a tradition handed down from his sister that eventually evolved into a comprehensive digital database tracking every album he owns, every song on it, its chart position, and the year he acquired it. Alan shares vivid memories from more than five decades of concert-going, starting with his very first show — The Rolling Stones at Madison Square Garden in June 1975, featuring the legendary Lotus Stage and a then-new Ron Wood sitting in as guest guitarist. From there, the conversation moves through highlights including the Stones' massive Steel Wheels Tour at Shea Stadium, a Simon & Garfunkel reunion in Central Park, and what Alan calls perhaps his most purely fun concert experience: seeing The Rolling Stones at the intimate MGM Grand in Las Vegas during the 1999 No Security Tour. A standout moment from the episode is Alan's account of seeing U2 at The Sphere in Las Vegas — a venue he discovered before it became widely known — where the crystal-clear, immersive sound system left him calling it one of the greatest concert experiences of his life. The conversation also covers some of Alan's more disappointing experiences, including a Hackney Diamonds-era Rolling Stones show at MetLife Stadium where the sound quality was, in his words, "atrocious," and a Van Halen reunion show at Jones Beach that failed to deliver. Beyond the concert stories, Charles and Alan dive deep into the philosophy behind The Alan Rosenberg Show, where Alan refuses to review a new album until he has listened to it at least five times — sometimes eight or nine — because, as he puts it, music is deeply personal and mood-dependent. He discusses the decline of new music on classic rock radio, the fearlessness of artists like David Gilmour who still play entire new albums on tour, and why he believes the era of great classic rock concert experiences has fundamentally changed due to ticket prices, stadium sound problems, and the industry's shift toward playing only the hits. Alan also touches on his love of deluxe box sets, his growing appreciation for Taylor Swift's Midnights, and the warm, knowledgeable community he has built around his YouTube channel, which now features close to 600 videos.

They also discussed upcoming commentary tracks for Prince of Darkness and Angel Heart. Summary Hellraiser Comic Series Announcements The podcast hosts discussed recent Hellraiser news, including Boom Studios' announcement of five new Hellraiser one-shot comics titled "Hellraiser Resurrections" focusing on different Cenobites.

The discussion also covered a successful Kickstarter campaign called "Leviathan's Vault" that raised nearly $900,000 to reissue Hellraiser comics, including volumes from 2011 and various limited series. The conversation concluded with a brief mention of the Hellraiser revival game, though details about this were not provided in the transcript segment.

Olivia Rodrigo is switching things up for her third studio album. Where her two previous albums leaned more on upbeat pop-punk influences, ‘You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love' shifts between indie-pop and emotional ballads. Rodrigo describes the album as a “time capsule of a relationship in all its highs and lows,” with the A-side, ‘Girl So in Love' representing the honeymoon stage, the intense building emotions of a new relationship, and the B-side, ‘You Seem Pretty Sad', covering the downfall.

"I would argue that Sempiternal is their re-debut album. It pivoted to something that's a little bit more poppy for the mainstream general audience... it very much was a rebranding of them in a way." This week, Brian and Lizzie dissect Bring Me The Horizon's pivotal 2013 album, Sempiternal. They discuss the addition of Jordan Fish, Oli Sykes' shift to clean vocals, and how the band laid the blueprint for modern metalcore. A decade after its release, Bring Me The Horizon's Sempiternal remains a monumental record in emo history and modern metalcore. Brian and Lizzie sit down to review the album that transformed BMTH from a raw deathcore act into global rock superstars. They analyze the massive impact of Jordan Fish joining the band, bringing cinematic synths and EDM influences that completely reshaped their sonic landscape.

Today we're discussing the one and only album by Palms, the supergroup made up of Chino Moreno of Deftones, and Aaron Harris, Jeff Caxide, and Bryant Clifford Meyer of Isis. Despite Deftones and Isis both being relatively heavy bands, Palms, on the other hand, is an entirely different animal. This project is distinctly unique and probably not what you're expecting.

The ninth studio album from Swedish musician Robyn, ‘Sexistential' is a return to an earlier form. Unlike the softer sounds of her previous album ‘Honey', her latest release is reminiscent of her 2010 trilogy ‘Body Talk' – Robyn working with the same producer, Klas Åhlund, as she did on that project. In Chris Schulz's opinion, the album is easily the best pop album of the year so far, and he joined Jack Tame to share his full thoughts.

In this episode of Americana Podcast: The 51st State, Robert Earl Keen sits down with Billy Strings to talk about learning to play, the craft of songwriting, and the evolving world of Americana music. Born William Apostol and raised in rural Michigan, Billy Strings grew up surrounded by bluegrass. By the time he was a teenager, his blistering flatpicking had already earned him a reputation as a prodigy among pickers and players. Years of relentless practice and countless small gigs eventually carried him from Midwestern bars and festivals to some of the biggest stages in roots music. For years, bluegrass lived mostly in whispers. You might hear it referenced in liner notes, spot it in a citation, or see it pop up in the occasional New Yorker cartoon. But something has changed. The conversation has gotten louder, and the reality is harder to ignore. Bluegrass music is considered cool now. It should not come as much of a surprise. Bluegrass has always carried a rich and vibrant history stretching back to the early twentieth century. It is a genre that holds tight to regional identity, creative freedom, and remarkable musicianship. At the same time, it has always fostered a deeply communal culture of learning, where songs, skills, and stories move naturally from one player to another. What the music needed was a new voice. New chapters. New songs added to the bluegrass canon. That is where Billy Strings comes in. Over the past several years, Billy has emerged as one of the most influential figures in modern bluegrass. His albums Home and Renewal helped push the genre into new territory while earning widespread acclaim, including multiple Grammy Awards, with Home winning Best Bluegrass Album. His live shows have developed a devoted following, blending traditional bluegrass musicianship with the improvisational spirit of jam bands and the storytelling roots of Americana. Billy Strings makes music that is rooted in bluegrass but stretches well beyond it. His songwriting reflects a deep understanding of the power of a well-crafted song. His lyrics move easily between personal reflection, observations about economic and ecological change, and the everyday questions that shape a life. All of it is supported by remarkable musicianship and production, where intricate playing and layered sonic details often create moments that feel almost like soundscapes. Trying to describe how good he is can be difficult. Some things are simply easier to hear than to explain. Listen to the full episode on all streaming platforms or at Americanapodcast.com.

And then it's, like, the coolest thing you've ever f***ing heard.Brian and Lizzie dive into the cultural impact and musical complexity of Twenty One Pilots' 2015 masterpiece, Blurryface. They explore the album's guerrilla marketing leak, its consortium of A-list producers, and its lasting influence on the pop landscape. Was Blurryface the biggest record to emerge from the 2010s emo scene? Brian and Lizzie investigate the monumental impact of Twenty One Pilots' 2015 genre-defying album. They discuss the duo's Ohio roots, their place in Fueled by Ramen's emo history, and the album's unique production, which brought together producers from hip hop, pop, and indie rock. The hosts explore the strategic album leak, the creation of the 'Blurryface' character to personify insecurity and mental health struggles, and how the record smuggled alternative art into the mainstream. Featuring in-depth analysis of landmark tracks like the billion-stream hit "Stressed Out," the reggae-infused "Ride," and the fan-favorite "Tear In My Heart," this episode debates whether the album's pop punk adjacency and massive success cement its place as one of the best emo albums of all time. "This is very much a radio sounding record, although the music and the songwriting is not super radio friendly.""By wrapping a high concept album about depression and insecurity in glossy pop production, Twenty One Pilots smuggled alternative art into the mainstream.""I wasn't raised in the hood, but I know a thing or two about pain and darkness. And it's like, I don't think that you need to say that in a rap song."
