    Don and Dude crash headfirst into 1989's alternative basements and hip hop boomboxes, where quiet loud guitar nightmares share airspace with sample stacked punchline barrages and label side eye. One of us dives into a twisted surf rock carnival that helped teach the 90s how to go loud quiet loud, while the other rides a brainy, boom bap Def Jam debut packed with Beastie Boys disses, Hammer threats, and the first appearance of a future underground legend.The Albums Pixies – Doolittle (1989) Pixies turn their Boston art punk chaos into a tightly wound alt rock statement, mixing sugar sweet hooks, violent surrealism, and that now classic quiet loud dynamic. "Debaser," "Monkey Gone to Heaven," and "Wave of Mutilation" spin eyeball slicing cinema, environmental dread, and surf rock murder suicide into songs that feel like pop songs and panic attacks at the same time. 3rd Bass – The Cactus Al/Bum (1989) MC Serch, Prime Minister Pete Nice, and DJ Richie Rich plant a Def Jam flag with dense golden era beats and back and forth verses that blend jokes, battle bars, and real talk about New York and hip hop credibility. From "Sons of 3rd Bass" and its anti Beastie mission statement to "The Gas Face" and "Steppin to the A M," the record plays like a long, funny, aggressive brief on who gets to be taken seriously in rap.Diggin' Albums Zach Bryan – With Heaven on Top (2026) Raw, heart on sleeve Americana and country stories about love, loss, and faith, delivered over rough hewn acoustic strums and fuller band swells. Lenny Kravitz – Let Love Rule (1989) A retro soaked debut that welds late 60s and early 70s rock and soul influences into warm analog grooves and idealistic love and unity anthems. GUM – Blue Gum Way (2026) Australian multi instrumentalist Jay Watson drifts through jazzy psych pop vignettes, each track a little mood world of woozy synths and warped guitars. Katherine Priddy – These Frightening Machines (2026) Intricate modern folk songwriting about technology, anxiety, and everyday life, wrapped in fingerpicked guitar, immersive atmosphere, and literary minded lyrics.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support by subscribing, rating, reviewing, and sharing.“Carpe diem.

    “Recognize” is Original 8 (OG8) lead singer Jaime Lynch's personal mantra. And while she ends the new single, “W.O.M.A.N” with the phrase “I am woman, recognize…”, the meaning behind it goes way back to how Lynch and her bandmates have approached both the music business and life.Based in Portland, Ore., the driving force behind OG8 is founder and guitarist Troy Williver. Bent on being a band that doesn't rely on a record label for both success and acknowledgment, in early 2023 Williver established Beat Farm Music. From there, the OG8 band took hold. Williver's search for a vocalist that matched the values and could both command the stage and captivate the audience in a way that accentuates OG8's eclectic rock-Americana-blues sound led him to Lynch.“W.O.M.A.N” is a profound, unapologetic anthem redefining the rock and roll landscape“I wanted to capture confidence, freedom and owning who you are without apology or explanation,” Lynch, a multiple winner of “Best of Las Vegas” for her powerful vocals and stage presence for Pussycat Dolls, Peep Show, Vegas The Show and more, said. “So many times as women in this society, and especially in this industry, we are expected to behave a certain way, look a certain way – be a certain way. This song is really about taking that power back and owning it for yourself.”Sure, the streams and the album sales are nice, but for OG8 the recognition that they have a bond and a central mission, they can look in the mirror and see that they are doing meaningful work. They are unapologetically true to themselves. Their origin story is rooted in decades of musical collaboration, friendship and a shared ideological belief system of love of music over pursuit of ego. Drummer Michael Thomas Underwood III, Renato Caranto on saxophone, George Mitchell on keyboard, bassist Phil Baker and sound engineer Drew Canulette round out the band.A recuring theme in all of their experiences - OG8 has endured the pressures and feeling of being overlooked.“Stay in this place – don't go higher,” Lynch said. “People see you one way and use you for what they need. I want credit where it's due.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

    Randy Wood is an American master luthier, instrument builder, and music entrepreneur known for his influence on the modern vintage-instrument industry and the bluegrass and roots music community. Over a career spanning more than five decades, Wood has built and repaired instruments for many of the biggest names in country, rock, and bluegrass while also operating one of the South's most respected acoustic music venues.Randy Wood grew up in a musical and woodworking family. His father was a carpenter and woodworker, and music was a common part of family life, with relatives frequently playing and singing together. Those two influences—woodworking and music—would shape Wood's lifelong career as a luthier. By the 1960s, Wood had begun developing his craft of instrument repair and building, quickly gaining a reputation for meticulous work and a deep understanding of acoustic instruments.In the early 1970s, Wood moved to Nashville and became a founding partner in GTR, Inc., a pioneering vintage instrument shop located behind the Ryman Auditorium. The business was started with fellow musicians and dealers Tut Taylor and George Gruhn, and it later evolved into the famous Gruhn Guitars. Because of its proximity to the Grand Ole Opry and Nashville recording studios, the shop quickly became a gathering place for musicians needing repairs, vintage instruments, or simply a place to pick. During this period, Wood built and repaired instruments for legendary performers including Bill Monroe, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Chet Atkins, Eric Clapton, and Keith Richards. Wood later partnered with Taylor to open the original Old Time Pickin' Parlor, a combination music store, repair shop, and performance space that became a hub for bluegrass musicians and fans in the early 1970s. In 1979, Wood sold the Nashville business and returned to coastal Georgia. For many years he operated a small workshop and mail-order business while building custom instruments. Over time he produced more than 1,500 handmade instruments, including guitars, mandolins, banjos, dobroes, and violins, many of which are used by professional musicians around the world. In 1999, Wood established Randy Wood Guitars, a guitar shop, repair center, and instrument workshop near Savannah. He also built a small concert venue called Randy's Old-Time Pickin' Parlor, an intimate hall known for hosting world-class acoustic performers in bluegrass, country, and Americana music. The venue has become a regional destination for roots music fans and regularly features nationally recognized artists in an intimate setting.Randy Wood is widely regarded as a pioneer of the modern vintage instrument business and one of the most respected repairmen and builders in acoustic music. His influence extends beyond instrument making; through his shops and the Pickin' Parlor, he helped create gathering places where musicians could meet, jam, and share traditions that shaped American roots music.

    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.

    Some songs don't just play; They mark seasons of your life.And you don't realize it until years later.These are the Americana songs that shaped who we (Ben and Zach) have become.As you'll hear it's not because they were chart-toppers or because everyone else loved them......it's because they found us at a very specific moment.A long drive after a hard loss.A tiny club when you felt invisible.A lyric that said what you couldn't say out loud.That's the part we don't talk about enough!We analyze strategy. We debate business models. We optimize everything.But songs?They bypass ALL logic.They attach themselves to your identity. When you look back, you realize certain bands didn't just soundtrack your life, they helped AUTHOR IT.We can trace chapters of our own growth to specific records.Certain risks we took. Certain conversations we had. Certain seasons we survived.It's wild how an honest lyric can do what no book ever could.The real question becomes isn't whether music changes us.It's this...Are we CHOOSING the songs and bands that shape us…Or are we passively letting whatever's loudest do the shaping?What if the music you surround yourself with is determining the leader, parent, and partner you become?

    On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Sarah Jarosz at a remarkable moment in her career, fresh off multiple Grammy wins, including recent recognition with I'm With Her. We talk about what it actually feels like to experience that kind of validation after years of nominations, and why the support she receives from her hometown of Wimberley, Texas, still means so much, especially with music that reflects on family, time, and staying connected to where you come from.Sarah shares how I'm With Her, her trio with Aoife O'Donovan and Sara Watkins, became a creative counterbalance to the pressures of solo work. What stands out is how naturally the collaboration works: three distinct musical voices, no ego battles, and an instinctive approach to arranging harmonies and deciding who carries each musical moment. It's a reminder of how powerful true musical trust can be.We also explore how her perspective on collaboration has evolved over the years. Early in her career, Sarah felt a strong need to protect her artistic voice. But as she gained experience, she realized that once you truly understand what you bring to the table, collaboration becomes less risky and far more rewarding.One of my favorite parts of the conversation is a deep dive into the next generation of acoustic musicians, artists with deep bluegrass roots who aren't confined by genre boundaries.

    Join Dave Stroud for a look at a fascinating, if somewhat cringey, slice of music history, where white cover versions of black R&B nuggets were whitewashed across the pop charts in the 1950s. While the ‘cover version' was a standard industry practice, so were the ‘sanitized' versions of R&B hits by black artists that made them more ‘palatable' for white radio audiences, spotlighting white artists while the original creators stayed in the shadows. It's certainly something that could be the topic of numerous Deeper Roots episodes but we'll limit our scope to a two hour exploration, measuring the original against the cover. On one side of the house we'll hear from Fats Domino (a popular source for the practic), Big Joe Turner, The Moonglows and a handful of others. The other side of the house has the names of Pat Boone, Art Mooney, The Fontane Sisters and others among the dubious roster ‘favorites'. Radio and media helped to democratize the landscape but today's parallels with the frothing ‘look over thereness' of right wing hate is unmistakable and hard to ignore. It was George Santayana who observed that “those who do not learn from history, are bound to repeat it.“

With this episode, I wanted to listen to his older music and talk about artistry, rebellion, and political themes that the three-time Grammy winner has embraced through 20 albums with themes of social justice, addiction recovery, and political, anti-war views.

    Bad Dads Film Review goes full courtroom chaos this week with My Cousin Vinny (1992) — the fish-out-of-water legal comedy where two broke New York kids take a wrong turn into the Deep South… and somehow end up charged with murder because of a misunderstanding that starts with a can of tuna.Sidey finally ticks off a long-standing gap (he'd never seen it), and we break down why this film still works: a tight premise, a brilliant “outsider vs small-town system” vibe, and a courtroom structure that's way smarter than it has any right to be for a broad comedy. Joe Pesci turns up looking like he's wandered in from Goodfellas in cowboy boots, tries to blag his way through Alabama procedure, and gets repeatedly threatened with contempt by an all-time stern judge (Fred Gwynne, aka Herman Munster).What we talked aboutThe opening setup: poverty-tour Americana, the road trip, and the tuna “crime of the century” that accidentally feeds the tension.Mistaken confession comedy: how the boys basically incriminate themselves… for the wrong offence.Vinny's legal “credentials”: six tries at the bar, no trial experience, and a running battle with courtroom etiquette (“judge” vs “your honour”, the suit, the procedure handbook).The judge dynamic: why Fred Gwynne is the perfect straight man and how the contempt/lock-up beats become a recurring gag.Mona Lisa Vito (Marisa Tomei): the film's secret weapon — and why her role isn't just “girlfriend”, she's the brain that solves the case.Courtroom mechanics: cross-exams, witness deconstruction, and why parts of this film get referenced in law-school conversations as a simple example of dismantling testimony.The car/tire evidence: the key pivot from “they're screwed” to “hang on…” and the satisfying payoff when the story flips.Does it hold up? Runtime bloat (two hours is generous for this kind of comedy), how a lot of the plot collapses in the internet era, and why it's surprisingly not as offensively “of its time” as plenty of early-90s comedies.The Oscar chat: why Tomei winning Best Supporting Actress felt weird for a comedy… and whether it was actually deserved.Standard warning: we spoil the beats as we go, because that's the whole fun of a courtroom film.If you want a movie that's basically “competence porn disguised as a daft comedy” — where the final win is earned by actual reasoning rather than magic — this one's worth your time.

    Nadine Saylor: Telling Stories Behind the Objects, Places, and Lives They Touch

    Recently, Nadine Saylor has been creating a series of gas and oil cans featuring imagery of her local surroundings. These more "masculine" objects remind her of the things her grandfather had in his shed. In thinking about gender and how it relates to the objects with which we surround ourselves, she investigates what role gender plays in our world writ large. Assistant Professor of Glass and Sculpture at University of Nebraska, Kearney, Saylor is originally from Hershey, Pennsylvania. She received her BFA in Photography from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and her MFA in Glass from Alfred University in upstate New York. Since then, she has taught at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, Harrisburg Area Community College in Pennsylvania, and at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. In addition to teaching at the collegiate level, she has taught many workshops internationally including The Studio at the Corning Museum of Glass and Penland School of Craft in North Carolina. She has also given demonstrations nationally and lectured internationally. Saylor has exhibited in many exhibitions across the country including the Cafesjian Art Trust, in Shoreview, MN, Toyama's International Glass Exhibition 2024 in Japan and has shown at SOFA Chicago. She recently completed a commission of two works Carrie Oilcan and Copper Kettle Nebraska for the Federal Reserve Board Gallery to be on display in Washington, DC, and to compliment her works commemorating American industry that were purchased in 2024. Derivative of her childhood, Saylor's works are instilled with love of Americana and history along with an interest in the stories behind the objects, the places, and the lives they have touched.  For example, Saylor's series of pincushions began with the familiar Tomato and Strawberry forms. In researching the history of these objects, the artist learned the pincushion was placed on the mantle to ward off evil spirits. When tomatoes were out of season, women made them out of fabric and used them as voodoo dolls. "I enjoy these kinds of historical narratives and use them as a vantage point in my work," she says. Imagery tells a story on the surface of many Saylor works. For example, Foggy Morning in the Black Swamp is a replica of an antique coffee pot she found in an antique store. The imagery on the surface is inspired by the artist's bike rides on the old railroad trail bike path through the Black Swamp.  She states: "My surroundings continue to affect the imagery on my glass as I lived on a farm in Southern Illinois with an array of chickens, goats and horses. This nostalgic life took me back to traveling to my grandmother's house in the countryside of rural Pennsylvania. Not only does my current rural life in Nebraska play a part in my glasswork, but I am also interested in the memories sparked by certain objects and what roles they play in our lives."

    What really happened at Girls Just Wanna Weekend? (Short answer: joy, gyrations, no restraint.) Glennon and Abby take you inside Brandi Carlile's Mexico gathering—a wildly safe, queer weekend beaming with music, connection, and collective joy. They unpack their now-iconic onstage “Come to My Window” performance (there were lifts), how rehearsals accidentally became couples therapy, and why joy, sexuality, and community aren't distractions from this moment—but acts of resistance. Plus: the magic of Titans of Americana, where Brandi shared the stage with her legendary idols and Tish—bridging generations and honoring the past while lifting up what's next. Listen to last year's debrief – 277.
