In episode 257 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas compares the things that make each sub-genre of metal cheesy and cringe. All of us have a genre of metal we look at as silly, but do we overlook the excesses of our own favorite styles?

This week, a special road trip episode featuring award-winning Owensboro, Kentucky bluegrass singer/songwriter Rick Faris and his band recorded live at the 2024 Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas. The annual Walnut Valley Festival, now in it's 53rd season, is one of the oldest and most respected acoustic music festivals in the world. Held at the Winfield, Kansas fairgrounds, more than 30 musical acts will perform on four separate stages, presenting over 200 hours of live music. Also, there is a dedicated contest stage where contestants vie for national and international championships in Finger Style Guitar, Flat Pick Guitar, Bluegrass Banjo, Old Time Fiddle, Mandolin, Mountain Dulcimer, Hammered Dulcimer, and Autoharp. There is a juried arts and crafts fair, exhibits by renowned instrument makers and music shops, family activities, a bevy of food vendors, a farmer's market and even a pub! An unusual aspect of Walnut Valley is its campground tradition. Campsites are not reserved and campers line up to claim a choice campsite during the "Land Rush.” Walnut Valley Festival goers often bring their own musical instruments to participate in the sometimes all night campground jam sessions. Bands like Old Sound and Sally & The Hurts that began as "Jam Bands" in the campgrounds, have even been invited to perform at the festival. Rick Faris is a Kansas Music Hall of Fame Member who was recently awarded the “Songwriter of the Year” at the 2024 International Bluegrass Music Association Awards making him an 8-time IBMA Award winner. In addition Rick won the coveted “New Artist of the Year” in 2022. Faris also spent 11 years with Special Consensus while the band earned two GRAMMY nominations before embarking on his chart topping solo career. The Rick Faris Band, is an International touring Bluegrass outfit playing in the US, Mainland Europe, the British Isles and Canada. They bring sibling harmony and comedic relief with brother JimBob Faris on bass and a youthful snap to their original brand of music with a couple of bluegrass thoroughbreds, Henry Burgess (who grew up with fiddle legend Byron Berline) and Gibson Davis (who is a third generation bluegrass musician following father Chris Davis and his Grandfather Danny Davis). Rick recently moved to Owensboro, Kentucky the Bluegrass Music Capital and has opened his Faris Guitar Co. - https://rickfaris.com/press-kit In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1988 archival recording of gospel music legends The Chuck Wagon Gang performing the 1934 J.R. Baxter song “After the Sunrise,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In his segment “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins explores the storied history of early gospel music publishing in the Ozark and Quachita Mountains.

Introducing the intriguing “bone collector” artist Sol Slavin. We could do a whole episode on his impressive background experience working on movie sets with notable people and places, but we are here to start the conversation about is his extensive art collection, what it means, his inspirations and what he plans on doing with it all. He is promoting his art concept "The Bone Collector" a series of select works that will be managed by his art agent, Irons. Irons is an accomplished art dealer and has a lot art credentials nationwide and internationally. These two are gonna make a successful team for sure. Art prints are being worked on as of now and commissions are always welcome. Give Sol a DM on his instagram.com/slavinsol and either he or Irons will be in contact. On a side note, Sol happens to be a gifted musician. He is currently looking for bands that need new or more members. If you wanna give him a try-out, hit him up! Thank you so much Sol and Irons for hanging out with us LIVE. You never know what is going to happen over here at SDBD. I can't edit anything out so there it is, in the raw. With that being said, the soundtrack for this episode had a couple of hiccups. I apologize to our SLC local bands, CT and RW. That's the part of the raw charm. Good Luck Sol! We will be following and eagerly awaiting the awakening of "The Bone Collector".

If you've ever wondered what happens when a daily comedy show accidentally stumbles into bowling ownership, Valentine's Day ethics, and a Pokémon scandal in the same morning… congratulations. You found your people.Today's episode kicks off with a major announcement: Moon Valjean is now the proud owner of Pin-Up Bowl in The Loop. That's right. Our own Moon — musician, radio host, professional vibe curator — now owns 73 bowling balls and possibly a dream. We talk leagues, Pete Weber tributes, pre- and post-Pageant party domination, and whether Rizz will immediately break something in the back mechanical room. (He will.)Then we dive headfirst into Valentine's Day drama. Rafe casually admits he made THREE dinner reservations “just in case,” which spirals into a full breakdown of modern dating strategy. Is that romantic preparedness or Cupid-level chaos? Meanwhile, we debate whether you break up before Valentine's Day or fake it through dessert like an emotional stunt double. Tough love was served hotter than a Longhorn ribeye.Speaking of Longhorn… a dad goes viral bragging that his son told his date to “get the tip” after he paid for dinner. The result? No tip. No second date. Just a waitress caught in the crossfire of a weird morality lesson. The crew does not hold back on this one. Spoiler alert: Rizz is Team Waitress.Oh, and yes — apparently there was a PokéStop on Epstein Island. We unpack how that even happens, how PokéStops work, and how the internet manages to make everything weirder than it already is.We also hit: • Britney vs Bieber catalog money debate • Nelson Mandela, Buster Douglas, and accidental Cheney history • Bands ditching talent agencies post-Epstein files • A Clownspiracy involving Orville Peck and Clownvis • And the ongoing saga of King Scott dressing like Austin Powers in publicIt's your favorite daily comedy show doing what we do best: taking real headlines, real life, and real awkwardness and turning it into something you can laugh at on your commute (worth $8,158 annually, apparently).If you're into pop culture chaos, sarcastic humor, St. Louis energy, and a group of friends who probably overshare for a living, this daily comedy show is your safe place.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Olympian Sturla Holm Lægreid Holds Back Tears as He Admits to Affair in Live TV Interview After Medal WinPokémon Go Players Kept Swarming The Epstein Island Pokéstop, Forcing Devs To Remove ItFormer substitute teacher accused of sexual relationship with minorMissouri lawmakers propose easing vehicle inspection rulesToyota recalls 141K vehicles over doors that could open while driving4 people have died from eating death cap mushrooms as they spread in California after rainsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of "Seeing Them Live," host Charles welcomes back Paul Peterson, a retired technology manager and lifelong audiophile who hosts the podcast 'An Avid Listener.' Together, Charles and Paul explore the complex world of bands performing with significantly changed lineups. The conversation was sparked by Paul's recent concert experiences, including seeing Alan Parsons and the Doobie Brothers with almost entirely new members, which led him to question what makes a band authentic and what concertgoers are really seeking when they buy tickets based on a famous name.Charles and Paul examine numerous examples of lineup changes with varying outcomes. They contrast successful transitions like AC/DC replacing Bon Scott with Brian Johnson and Iron Maiden swapping Paul Di'Anno for Bruce Dickinson, with more questionable situations like Grand Funk Railroad touring without Mark Farner, the Beach Boys performing with only Mike Love, and Queen continuing with Adam Lambert. The discussion reveals how fans often purchase tickets unaware of major personnel changes, raising questions about transparency and the power of brand names in the music industry.Paul encourages listeners to research bands before attending concerts and seek experiences that offer more than nostalgia. He emphasizes the value of artists sharing stories and offering unique performances rather than simply recreating studio recordings, praising innovative approaches like Steely Dan performing entire albums in sequence and intimate acoustic sets from aging rockers. While lineup changes are inevitable, the key is transparency and delivering an experience that justifies the ticket price—whether through musical excellence, storytelling, unique venues, or discovering new bands at smaller, more intimate settings.BANDS: AC/DC, Alan Parsons, Beach Boys, Beatles, Black Sabbath, BoDeans, Brian Auger, Doobie Brothers, Duke Tomato and the All Stars, Eagles, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Flaming Lips, Fleetwood Mac, Gov't Mule, Grand Funk Railroad, Grateful Dead, Heart, Iron Maiden, James Gang, Johnny Reno and the Sax Maniacs, Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin Two, Motley Crue, Pink Floyd, Queen, Rolling Stones, Scorpions, Steely Dan, Super Tramp, The Doors, The Who, Toto.VENUES: Arcadia, Auditorium Theater, Candlestick Park, Chicago Stadium, City Winery, Empty Bottle, Fitzgerald's, Hollywood Bowl, House of Blues, Living Room, Riot Fest, Shea Stadium, The Sphere.

Leadership requires intentional development! A passionate NPHC speaker, Eddie began his leadership journey as president of his Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity chapter at Loyola University New Orleans, where he was also vice president of the Interfraternity Council. Because of his leadership, Eddie earned the Spirit of Loyola Award for Racial Understanding. He even choreographed a step routine that won second place at the ever-popular Bayou Classic Battle of the Bands and Greek Show! Eddie later served as an alumni chapter president and campus chapter advisor. Professionally, Eddie is a consultant who led marketing and communications at Southern University at New Orleans, Paul Quinn College, Dillard University, and Talladega College. He is an adjunct instructor for Southern New Hampshire University who has also taught at Tulane University and Dallas College. Additionally, Eddie's diverse professional background includes mass media and talent acquisition. In episode 638 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out the biggest mistakes or struggles for Eddie that eventually shaped the D9 Leadership Blueprint, when he realized that leadership requires intentional development, why he chose to blend research, real-world leadership, and "D9 Old Head Wisdom", how leaders move from survival mode to intentional leadership, what is a self-awareness exercise or mindset shift he would recommend, how Ubuntu show up practically in fraternity and sorority leadership, how understanding followership actually make someone a more effective leader, what is one concept from the D9 Leadership Blueprint that would create the biggest ripple effect, what role do alumni play in reinforcing intentional leadership instead of just critiquing from the sidelines, and how he helps young leaders understand legacy without overwhelming them. Enjoy!

As long as there has been music, the form has been used as a vehicle for storytelling. Artists who have something to say often find that putting it into music is the ideal means of communicating thoughts and feelings to others. And the concept-album form is a logical extension of that storytelling impulse, often writ large. It allows the writer to tackle bigger themes, more involved story lines, more finely textured characters and ideas. In the pages of What's the Big Idea? (Hozac, 2025), author Bill Kopp explores 30 remarkable concept albums, drawing on new, firsthand interviews with the artists behind their creation. Author of the critically acclaimed Disturbing the Peace, Kopp turns us down the darkest road of musical blind-spots yet, the concept album, a previously shunned genre, now worthy of your curiosity. And then you hear something like Ogden's Nut Gone Flake, and The Turtles Present Battle of the Bands, or S.F. Sorrow, and you're really second-guessing yourself now, right? As it turns out, there's something genuinely interesting about this “concept” in itself, and it lends us a look into a world when musical creativity really had been unleashed in its full glory. Yes, those extravagances produced much audio garbage, but very few people even get that chance anymore, despite the ease of home recording. Even Captain Sensible and The Church committed this ‘big ideas' into noteworthy efforts, along with Hawkwind, William Shatner, Ghostface Killa, and of course, Pete Townshend, who graciously offers an exclusive interview here. Bill Kopp is a freelance journalist and the author of Reinventing Pink Floyd: From Syd Barrett to the Dark Side of the Moon and Disturbing the Peace: 415 Records and the Rise of New Wave.

Today we're talking about family bands with two guys who know a thing or two about them; Louis Michot and Corey Ledet. Both of these gentlemen are parts of families with deep musical roots. And they both give us a brief rundown of where they fit in the family tree. Corey's great grandfather was an early jazz pioneer while Louis' grandmother was a professional whistler! And Louis talks about their supernatural book connection.  We talk about life in family bands; where it makes things better and where it's more difficult. Is touring with the fam harder than with unrelated bandmates? Louis & Corey give us the good, the bad, and the ugly about working with family in the music business. Louis had to go part way through this, but not to worry, Corey sticks around to talk about his first ever live album: Corey Ledet Zydeco & Black Magic Live In Alaska. And while I was hoping it was the first live album from Alaska, it turns out there are others. Not many, but a couple. Anyway, it's a killer performance from a super-hot band. Check it out on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple, or wherever you buy music. Follow Corey & Louis on socials (@coreyledetzydeco & @louismichotmusic) to stay up to date on music & tours.

WBS: The Great Bacon Caper. #347 -- The gang is at it again. Brimstone is joined by his wing-man Alex DaPonte, Meg Suss and Brim's wife Danielle as they chat about Alex's bacon adventures, Luigi Mangione no longer facing the death penalty, and the new Mark Iplier film reaching number two in the country. They discuss the new AI agent only social media platform, and the man who was arrested for making fake AI bands and reaping over $10M in royalties. They discuss the passing of Catherine O'Hara and Grady Demond Wilson, and how Major Labels are signing AI acts for millions. Brim explains what gets Within Brim's Skin.

Once you reach a certain level, there is no ‘better'…it's different.”   Released on August 19, 1983, FLICK OF THE SWITCH (the 9th studio album by AC/DC and the 3rd featuring Brian Johnson on the mic) is what some fans might call their “White Album” (arriving after their “Black Album” and “Bronze Album”, respectively), showing a black and white grayscale drawing of a lone Angus pulling down some massive power, so to speak.   “That's literally ‘Bad To The Bone' and ‘In My Time Of Dying'…”   While self-produced by the band and containing a much rawer production and drier mix than the ultra-produced Mutt Lange masterpieces which came before it, FLICK OF THE SWITCH is a back-to-basics approach showing the band embracing more of their earlier blues based sound while still remaining faithful to the signature, high-energy, up-tempo jams which have become their calling card. It's loud, straight ahead, and powerful, and while perhaps not as uber popular as the 3 albums that preceded it, FLICK is still very much an important album in the AC/DC catalog and one that would serve as a “connector” between where they had been and where they were headed.   “We could have a rated R show…it doesn't have to be X…”   We're finally back on track after getting derailed by the weather. Always remember to “wait ‘til it has some viscosity to it…” and then JOIN US for a “night time” dive into the album that would serve as the bridge into the next era of AC/DC with “The White Album” known as FLICK OF THE SWITCH.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can't be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast More ACDC Episodes: https://www.metalnerdery.com/acdc   Show Notes: (00:01): #selfconsciousness / “Hold on…you don't know what you're asking for…”/ #darkcomedy / “It's kinda like…being in a cover band and having you guys show up when we play #POISON…”/ #carriesunderwear / “I need a rage truck…”/ “I like doing it…it's fun…”/ “A little bit…only if you push back…”/ ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised ***/  “Synching up…locking in…”/ ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST (NIGHT TIME EDITION) ***/ #coveryourmouth / “I'm building up my immunity system…”/ “It could have been me…”/ #AIDSFlu / “It takes a flu nap is what you're saying…”/ #homemadelube / “Wait til it has some viscosity to it…” (05:55): EMAIL US at metalnerdery@gmail.com & PATREON US at patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast / #HailToTheBenton / “Dude, the Hog Story is worth the price of admission…”/ “Oh yeah…when we get done…I need to show you guys something…”/ “It's like zazz and zhuzh…”/ #NWOOSTM / “Here's what I hate about Marshalls…”/ #Traitor REACTOR IV (Venomizer – 2016) / #1986 / #incomplete /  “You know what dude, that's the best #BackstreetBoys song…”/ #Enmy – LEDGE / #melody / “It's the hard stop…and then super soft…”/ #markthetime / “I wasn't expecting to like that…”/ “No Slayer of the Episode?”/ #anush #penish / #SlayerOfTheEpisode / #Slayer HALLOWED POINT (Seasons In The Abyss – 1990) / “And just like that…all is right in the world…”/ “It's all 7's…” (22:47): #TheDocket METAL NERDERY PODCAST PRESENTS:  AC/DC – FLICK OF THE SWITCH / #ACDC #TheWhiteAlbum / “I don't remember being 10 and listening to AC/DC…” “It's black and white in grayscale…”/ Released August 19, 1983 / “Doing AC/DC always takes me back to childhood…”/ “In the For…Flick…Fly category, Flick is in the middle there…” / “It's 3-D and you can feel the texture…”/ Recorded in Nassau, The Bahamas with Robert John “Mutt” Lange / “He's the Bob Rock of the 80's…”/ “Their sound is menopause…”/ RISING POWER / “I feel like it was a little slow to start…”/ “#Pyromania btw was January 20 (1983)…”/ “I don't know what that is: a desert vagina kinda…”/ THIS HOUSE IS ON FIRE / “They should have swapped those two…”/ “Mega ultra mother fucking super stardom…” (33:23): FLICK OF THE SWITCH / “I think every band has a ‘connector' album…”/ “That's a good episode…3 albums in a row…”/ “Use penal clean…”/ NERVOUS SHAKEDOWN “Two words…slower and sleazier…”/ “You know what the leading cause of death is for nymphomaniacs is?”/ “We could have a Rated R show…it doesn't have to be X…”/ #killercloser / LANDSLIDE / “What a great closer for Side 1…”/ “That riff…reminded me of this…”/ PLAYING WITH GIRLS (Fly On The Wall – 1985) / “I try to hold this thing together…” (38:38): GUNS FOR HIRE / “Turn this up to loud…” / “Once you reach a certain level, there is no ‘better'…it's just different.”/ DEEP IN THE HOLE / “I'm over A.I…”/  “I cup the balls, I go all the way…”   (45:34): BEDLAM IN BELGIUM / “Side 2 better than Side 1…” / “It's really close to ‘Fly On The Wall'…” / BADLANDS / “That's literally ‘Bad To The Bone' and ‘In My Time Of Dying'…”/ “I feel like he does that in the studio…”/ SG vs Les Paul / #markthetime / BRAINSHAKE / #killercloser / “That sounds like an AC/DC closer…”/ “It's only 8 minutes longer than Reign In Blood…”/ “It sounds like a good bridge to ‘Fly On The Wall'…”/ “It's the bridge between the old and the next…”/ Bands with great 3-album runs / THANK YOU FOR JOINING US!!!/ #untilthenext #outroreel

Out of Portland, Oregon. Oh my. Seriously, oh my. Improvisational, psychedelic, metal, rock, progressive… it's all right here in this band of two people, Three Parts Acid! They are such a talented duo! This is music that was made to take us on a journey. Specifically, these 15 min long songs. So good. Not to worry though there are plenty of standard length songs to. All guitar solos are declared lit AF!The big take away here is to check out the new self titled album Three Parts Acid on Bandcamp! The new stuff: Shepard and Theriac. I personally recommend another 15 min long song Sleepy DJ's Radio Acid Show. Funk plus more? yes please.Even though these bros sound perfectly awesome as just the two of them, they are currently looking for a singer and a drummer so if you are in the Portland area and interested, hit ‘em up. Also, quick shout out to fellow Portland music scene friends, Wonderstump and Black Flash. yo!Thank you Dave and Pat for hanging out with us LIVE on SDBD and we look forward to listening to your new music. Please come back! Y'all are always welcome anytime!

In this episode of Referrals Done Right, Scott and Kelly Grates sit down with Ryan Miller — the driving force behind the thINCubator, founder of Rust Belt Startup, and a true connector in the Mohawk Valley. What unfolds is a masterclass in community building, modern entrepreneurship, and the power of showing up and serving others. From humble beginnings in New York Mills to becoming one of the area's most trusted startup advisors, Ryan shares stories of failure, resilience, and the creative path that led him to empowering the next generation of founders.You'll hear why relationships are more valuable than resumes, how proximity and engineered serendipity can change your life, and what Ryan believes is the real opportunity for cities like Utica to become launchpads for dreamers and doers. This is more than a conversation about referrals — it's about people, purpose, and how making one coffee connection a week could change everything.Episode Highlights:• Why identifying a problem worth solving is step one for any new idea• The myth of startup grants — and what new entrepreneurs really need to know• How Ryan uses “referrals” to build a personal brand, community trust, and momentum• The power of reframing "networking" as simply connecting humans to other humans• How the Mohawk Valley can become one of the best places in the country to start a small business---Episode Markers:(0:00) - Show Intro(0:55) - Introducing Ryan(2:00) - Life Long Mohawk Valley Resident(2:45) - Backpacking Europe & Ithaca College(4:35) - Bands, Kitchens & Startups(5:45) - Starting at Thinc(7:45) - Common Questions(9:50) - Thincubator Overview & SBDC(12:00) - Professional Vibe & Networking(13:45) - Relationships > Resumes(17:00) - Coffee & Connections(19:00) - Founders Seeking Flexibility(21:00) - Starting a Company(23:15) - Rust Belt Startup Podcast(26:20) - Common Denominator Success Habits(28:45) - Building Your Brand Online(29:45) - Quality Throughout Customer Journey(30:50) - Smaller Market & Identifying White Space(33:15) - What Does Success Look Like Here?(34:00) - Opportunities in CNY & Cultural Significance(35:45) - Building From the Bottom(37:30) - Best First Step(40:15) - Engineered Serendipity(44:20) - Rapid Fire Questions---Ryan Miller's Links:RBS Website - https://rustbeltstartup.comThinc Website - https://thincubator.coFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thincubatorPodcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rust-belt-startup/id1375151705Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryancmiller315Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rustbeltstartup---Scott Grates' Links:Referrals Done Right - https://www.referralsdoneright.orgReferrals Done Right FB Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/296359076662332Scott Grates Website - https://www.scottgrates.comLove Living Local  - https://www.instagram.com/lovelivinglocal315Scott's FB - https://www.facebook.com/scott.grates.1Scott's - https://www.instagram.com/scottgratesTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@scott.grates

Send in your music story!Blink 182 isn't just a pop-punk postcard from the past—it's a living diary that swings between dumb jokes and devastating honesty. We dive straight into the songs that defined our teens and still sneak into our playlists: the rush of First Date, the eternal wink of What's My Age Again?, the meme-proof pull of All the Small Things, and the gut-punch storytelling of Adam's Song and Stay Together for the Kids. We even settle a lyric Mandela moment—“I wore cologne” changes that opening scene more than you think—and debate whether “overplayed” is just another word for bulletproof.While we're in the time machine, we widen the lens. Taylor Swift heading to the Songwriters Hall of Fame sparks a talk about craft, longevity, and why clear storytelling wins across genres. Arctic Monkeys resurface for a star-studded charity record and remind us how a band can re-enter with purpose. Tennessee's songwriter rounds bring new voices forward—proof that scenes still matter. Then we pull apart Spotify's “prompted playlists” tests: discovery dream or pay-to-play rerun? We lay out the upside for music lovers, the risks for independents, and what it means for how we all find the next favorite track.The big news: we're bringing back our Battle of the Bands—this time with a live, in-person showdown on a Virginia stage. Brackets, finalists, and real amps in a real room. If Blink taught us anything, it's that songs live best when a crowd screams them back—even the sad ones. Come for the rankings and misheard lyrics, stay for the stories, and leave with a few tracks to replay on your drive home.Enjoyed the ride?

KBThaBandhead, returns with a fresh 2026 episode recapping the National Battle of the Bands in Palm Beach. He breaks down the energy, stand battles, and his reactions to each program's arrangements and execution. Episode highlights include Southern vs. FAMU (Southern earns the first-round nod), North Carolina A&T vs. South Carolina State (a tight contest with A&T edging it), and Bethune-Cookman vs. Flo-Mo (Flo-Mo with a shocker despite smaller numbers).

In this episode, the siblings tackle the Best Family Bands- acts build on bloodlines, not just talent. Though, genetics being what they are, talent, like apples, doesn't seem to fall far from the tree. Using The Music List's signature draft and debate format, we argue which bloodline ties that played together truly earned their legacy. The only rule? The musical act must have at least two members in it that are blood relatives. Mother and daughter, father and son, siblings, or even cousins. Shared blood means they're eligible for drafting. We discuss siblings' blood harmony, its effects on the music, and how shared DNA contributes to greatness. Of course, you can expect hot takes, humorous moments, and fierce arguments as siblings debate...other siblings. Join us and decide for yourself which family-based musical acts should earn top billing on The Music List!

This week on the Connecting the Dollars podcast, co-hosts Amanda Vaught and Emily Agosto (a CPA and drummer in two Chicago bands!) dove deep into the financial realities of being a musician or band member.

Andy Frasco and Nick ditch the guest format and go fully unfiltered on this episode of Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast, tackling one of the most honest conversations in the jam-band world, including who needs to quit and why. The episode spirals into a ruthless (and mostly bleeped) breakdown of bands that should probably hang it up, bands that should come back, and why the scene feels oversaturated right now. From there, the target shifts to managers, why so many are five years behind, terrified of other managers, and still throwing money at the same tired marketing playbook. They also dig into the state of the music industry, from festival economics and oversaturation to why so many bands refuse to quit and why managers keep recycling the same outdated ideas. It's an inside look at how scenes get clogged, why presales matter, and what actually hurts live music in 2026. Producer Jack drops in to relive his destination wedding in Barbados, which was launched by a brutally honest rant about weddings, bridal showers, and the social pressure to spend thousands to prove you're "supportive." From gift fatigue to travel weddings and the misery of being too high up in the wedding party, Andy and Nick argue that the only winning move is being the seventh-best friend.
