The screenwriters Brian Gunn and Mark Gunn are cousins, and they grew up in the 1970s and '80s in a big Catholic extended family in St. Louis. The Gunns are an incredibly creative clan that has produced all sorts of actors and writers and directors, including Brian's brother James, who you might know as the director of the most recent “Superman” movie and the “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise. Brian and Mark are both Jesuit educated twice over, alumni of St. Louis University High School and the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. It was during college that they started performing sketch comedy together, and they both moved to Los Angeles in the '90s to pursue Hollywood dreams. Since then, Brian and Mark have worked together on films and TV shows, including the family adventure movie “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and a 2019 superhero horror film called “Brightburn” featuring Elizabeth Banks. Their first project that made it big was a movie and series called “2gether,” which debuted on MTV in 2000. It was a hilarious parody of the boy band era of Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC and it was influential on the development of AMDG host Mike Jordan Laskey's sense of humor. The actors playing the boy band became an actual boy band themselves, opening for Britney Spears and hitting the Billboard charts with two different albums. If you are an elder millennial, all we have to say is, “I know my calculus,” and you'll sing back: “You plus me equals us.” Mike asked Brian and Mark about their family and their Jesuit education, how they work together as a writing team, and what it's like to work in the film industry. Mark and Brian also shared some creative tips they've learned in more than a quarter century in the trade. Finally, Mike couldn't let them go without reminiscing about “2gether” and marveling at the fact that 25 years after the movie's debut, the most popular film in the world right now is another movie about a fictional boy band. Though this new one is composed of demons and they're being hunted by a KPop girl group...

In May 1990, then-unknown 21-year-old Mariah Carey released her debut single, “Vision of Love.” Within a handful of weeks, the song would hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts, and it would be followed by four additional No. 1 tracks, setting records and making it clear: Mariah Carey and her five-octave vocal range were here, and pop music would never sound the same. Mariah had No. 1 singles every year for the entire 1990s. She would go on to win numerous Grammys, be named Artist of the Decade by Billboard, and receive other accolades. Her career has had peaks and valleys, scandals and rebrandings, but there is no denying: Mariah Carey is one of the most important recording artists of the last 40 years, and one of the most incredible voices in the history of popular music. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we hit the highest of the highs as we determine the Best Mariah Carey Song – at least until mid-2025, when we're recording this. Songs discussed: “Always Be My Baby,” “Shake It Off,” “Love Takes Time,” “My All,” “Emotions,” “When You Believe” (w/Whitney Houston), “Obsessed,” “Hero,” “Fantasy,” “Honey,” “Dreamlover,” “One Sweet Day” (w/Boyz II Men), “Vision of Love,” “Heartbreaker” (w/Jay-Z), “Make It Happen,” “We Belong Together” Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelist Kevin Dillon, returning guest Nick Everage, and special guest Steven Salvatore — author and Mariah superfan — as they discuss 16 of Mariah's most notable tracks.

In 1981, the music world was still riding the wave of disco's afterglow while carving out the sounds that would define the decade. Rock was dominant on the charts, with bands like Journey, REO Speedwagon, and Foreigner packing arenas, while new wave acts such as The Go-Go's and Duran Duran were beginning to reshape pop with synthesizers and bright, punchy hooks. MTV hadn't launched yet—that would come in August of '81—so radio play and word of mouth still ruled how fans discovered music. It was a year where the classic rock giants coexisted with the fresh sounds of new wave, setting the stage for an explosion of styles in the 80s. Fast-forward to 1991, and the landscape looked completely different. Grunge had crashed onto the scene with Nirvana's Nevermind, turning the polished glam metal of the late 80s into yesterday's news almost overnight. Hip-hop was no longer underground—it was chart-topping, with acts like Public Enemy and A Tribe Called Quest pushing boundaries while mainstream rap stars like MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice were everywhere. Meanwhile, pop was thriving with Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and Boyz II Men dominating radio. Unlike 1981, when MTV was just getting started, by 1991 music videos were the cultural centerpiece, shaping not just what people heard but what they wore and how they acted. This week, Dave and Rob will be looking at both years side by side, comparing the sounds, the trends, and the artists who defined each moment in music history.

Bad Bunny, or Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is dominating headlines and social media this week as he wraps up his epic two-month residency, No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí, at Puerto Rico's Coliseo de Puerto Rico. This 30-concert extravaganza transformed San Juan into a nonstop celebration, drawing fans worldwide and sparking a festival atmosphere across the city—bars overflowed, murals sprang up overnight, and legendary surprise guests hit the stage. Reports from Radio Milwaukee paint a scene of San Juan “alive,” with airport lines snaking out the door for merch, pop-ups celebrating Benito, and entire neighborhoods blasting his biggest hits. Inside the arena, each performance was a spectacle of lights, pyrotechnics, Puerto Rican iconography, and star-studded cameos—Arcángel, Ivy Queen, Young Miko, and Feid all took turns electrifying the crowd.The residency was more than a concert series; it was a declaration of Puerto Rican pride and a global showcase of Latin music's power. Bad Bunny himself, sharing with i-D Magazine, described the energy as “unprecedented,” uniting generations with music rooted in salsa, bomba y plena, and classic reggaetón influences interspersed throughout his flashy pop catalog.Just this Monday, Bad Bunny surprised fans with the release of his new single “Alambre Púa.” According to AOL, he debuted the track live for the residency's closing weekend, using it as the adrenaline-charged opener that set the tone for a 30-song marathon. This marks his first new music since January's album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which itself remains a Billboard and streaming juggernaut well into the year. Variety notes that the album's popularity is powering everything from record sales to unique brand tie-ins, like a special Peloton workout series celebrating Bad Bunny's music and artistic journey.The residency, however, is only the beginning of Bad Bunny's next chapter. ABC News and The Fader detail that his highly anticipated world tour for 2025-2026, supporting Debí Tirar Más Fotos, will not feature any U.S. dates. Bad Bunny cited not just a sense that he had “already done the U.S. extensively,” but, more seriously, concerns about safety and the threat of ICE raids for himself and his fans—a move the artist discussed candidly with both Variety and i-D.Recognition for Bad Bunny's achievements continues to skyrocket: the Latin Times confirms that he just broke the all-time record for nominations at the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards, earning an incredible 27 nominations. He leads across categories—Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Top Latin Album for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, and a slew of individual single nominations, underscoring his dominance in both streaming and on the charts. The awards ceremony will air live on October 23, 2025, from Miami, so expect even more historic moments as the date approaches.Meanwhile, Bad Bunny's cultural reach goes further than music. As reported by Variety, he's starring alongside Adam Sandler in the much-hyped movie Happy Gilmore 2, released in July, continuing his rapid rise as a multifaceted global entertainer.Thanks for tuning in—come back next week for another update on Bad Bunny and all things music.

A small Illinois town took on the Proud Boys after a blatant recruitment billboard appeared near a high school. This segment dissects the audacity of extremist groups feeling emboldened enough to openly recruit and the critical importance of local communities pushing back against hate and fascism. It highlights how hate groups exploit societal anxieties and strategically infiltrate local politics, raising questions about corporate responsibility in platforming such dangerous ideologies. This local victory proves that grassroots efforts can, and must, challenge the normalization of bigotry eroding our society.News Source: Community Outcry Forces Proud Boys Billboard Removal in Illinois By Hunter Basler and Holden Ker Wiki for Katie Askey, local news August 19th, 2025 

In 1980, Foreigner — after parting ways with keyboardist Ian McDonald and guitarist and vocalist Al Greenwood — went into Electric Lady Studios in New York City to record their fourth album. The aptly titled 4 was released in July 1981, and thanks to such hits as "Juke Box Hero," "Waiting on a Girl Like You" and "Urgent," spent more time on the Billboard 200 than any other artist in the history of Atlantic Records, including AC/DC, The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. To celebrate the 44th anniversary of 4, Rhino Records has released a deluxe version that includes newly remastered stereo and Atmos mixes, 14 early and alternate versions of various songs, 15 instrumentals, and 15 live performances from around the globe. ​This one-hour special contains songs from this reissue along with insights from Mick Jones and Lou Gramm. Come join us and enjoy some fantastic Rock and Roll music that DESERVES to be heard!

Mammoth WVH – “I Really Wanna” (Official Video)

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has made headlines yet again with the surprise release of his new album SWAG II, which dropped at midnight on September 5, 2025. This release comes just two months after his seventh studio album SWAG arrived in July, marking his most prolific period since his 2021 project Justice. SWAG II is not a typical sequel; it's a sprawling, 44-track reissue packed with 23 bonus songs, instantly capturing attention both for its size and its blend of styles from trap to R&B and even spiritual reflection. Major outlets like Good Morning America and Elle have spotlighted the album's midnight release, while music sites note that Bieber teased its arrival with a series of Instagram posts and dramatic billboards lighting up places like Times Square and even Iceland, where much of the album was reportedly recorded.Critically, SWAG and SWAG II have reasserted Bieber's pop dominance after his brief hiatus and the blockbuster sale of his music catalog in 2023. SWAG debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, hitting nearly 200 million streams out of the gate. The lead single Daisies also arrived strong at number two on the Hot 100 and became his 27th top ten single in the US, tying him with legends like Janet Jackson. Notably, the new tracks make direct references to his family life, with Mother in You being his first song to explicitly mention his son Jack, born in August 2024. Lines about Jack and wife Hailey in songs like this have drawn fan and media attention, especially as divorce rumors have circled the couple. Bieber seems to tackle these tabloid narratives head-on with heartfelt lyrics that emphasize stability and devotion.On the public appearance front, both Justin and Hailey Bieber skipped the high-profile MTV VMAs this week, despite his Best Pop Artist nomination, instead opting to celebrate the album's release privately in New York with family. Paparazzi last spotted them together with baby Jack shortly after SWAG II's debut, and Elle reports they shared new family photos on social media, fueling the wholesome narrative.Beyond music, Bieber is publicly supporting Hailey's business as Rhode, her skincare and makeup line, launches in Sephora stores across North America. He posted about Rhode's expansion using lyrics from his new music, underscoring the crossover between his family, business, and creative life. Hailey meanwhile continues to speak openly about motherhood's impact, recently telling Vogue that Jack is her priority.No interviews have been given yet about the new albums, and speculation swirls online about a possible accompanying tour, but so far, all Bieber's statements remain strictly about music and family, as reflected in his social media and recent public outings. In short, Bieber's SWAG II era is as much about creative output as it is about family—an unmistakable shift for the pop superstar as he moves into a new chapter under a brighter, more personal spotlight.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Americana Award winner and Grammy nominee Hayes Carll chats about the development of his songwriting and the highly personal nature of his latest album, We're Only Human.   PART ONEPaul and Scott talk about the unfortunate history of songs about rock & roll.PART TWOScott's in-depth conversation with Hayes CarllABOUT HAYES CARLLSinger, songwriter, and Americana mainstay Hayes Carll hit the scene in 2002 with his independently released debut album, Flowers & Liquor. The follow-up, Little Rock, featured songs co-written with Ray Wylie Hubbard and Guy Clark, and became the first self-released album to top the Americana chart. Moving to Lost Highway Records for his third album, Hayes won Song of the Year for “She Left Me for Jesus” at the Americana Music Awards. Soon after, he was honored with the Americana Music Association's Emerging Artist of the Year recognition. As he continued to release new music, other artists began recording Hayes's songs, including Kenny Chesney, Brothers Osborne, and Lee Ann Womack, whose recording of “Chances Are” earned Hayes a Grammy nomination for Best Country Song. To date, he has released nine studio albums, two of which—Lovers and Leavers and What It Is, hit the top 10 on Billboard's folk album charts. His most recent album, We're Only Human, was released this summer. 

Welcome back to Billboard Rewind, where we drop the needle on the biggest hits of yesterday.

The brothers in Prince Be & DJ Minutemix that make up the duo P.M Dawn have been - in hindsight - a marketing casualty. They forever hold the record of being the first African American Hip-Hop act to get No.1 on Billboard. But whilst that track & their debut album traffic in a Hip-Hop fusion, their works after that lean much more into R&B, creating a discography built on fluidity, deep lyrics and unfortunately, an American audience that probably never understood them.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (0:48)Ben:Curren$y - 8/30Charlie:Yeza & Rorystonelove - Star Of The EastBraxton Cook - Not Everyone Can GoAmaarae - BLACK STARRich Brian - WHERE IS MY HEAD?Robert Glasper - Code Derivation Shing02 - 抒情詩歌/JOJOSHIKAD Smoke - Wake Up SupaRuby Francis - Pages of PhilosophyRakim - The RE-UP Nova Twins - Parasites & Butterflies Chip Wickham - The Eternal NowEl Michels Affair - 24 Hr SportsCurren$y - 8/30Topic Intro/Ben's Research House - (14:37)Of the Heart, of the Soul and of the Cross: The Utopian Experience - (20:18)The Bliss Album...? - (31:39)Jesus Wept - (40:34)Dearest Christian, I'm So Very Sorry for Bringing You Here.

TVC 705.3: From August 2018: Chuck Harter and Ed remember The Music Scene (ABC, 1969), the short-lived music comedy series from the fall of 1969 that featured such top Billboard artists as The Beatles, James Brown, Neil Diamond, Three Dog Night, Tom Jones, Janis Joplin, Sly and The Family Stone—all performing live every week. Hosted by comedian David Steinberg, and also featuring a house band led by Patrick Williams and a regular improvisational comedy group that included a pre-Laugh-In Lily Tomlin, The Music Scene is mostly remembered today for its odd length (45 minutes).

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 5, 2025 is: histrionic • hiss-tree-AH-nik • adjective Histrionic is a word used disapprovingly to describe someone or something that is too emotional or dramatic. // The head chef had a penchant for dish throwing, door slamming, and other histrionic displays of temper whenever a dish was sent back to the kitchen. See the entry > Examples: “‘Where did I put 'em?/ Where'd I misplace 'em?/ Where did I leave 'em?/ Where did you take 'em?' With a barrage of questions ... Jordan Hawkins kicks off his latest single in the throes of borderline histrionic emotional turmoil—as converted by a vocal performance that primarily trades in growls, rasp and impassioned falsetto ...” — Kyle Denis, Billboard, 10 Feb. 2025 Did you know? If you're already familiar with the history of histrionic, take a bow. But if you're still waiting (in the wings or elsewhere) to learn, we've got you covered. The adjective histrionic traces back to the Latin noun histrio, meaning “actor.” Something described as histrionic tends to recall the high drama of stage and screen, and especially the theatrical form known as melodrama, where characters have very strong or exaggerated emotions. But something that is histrionic isn't always overdone; histrionic is also used (though less frequently) simply to describe something related to acting or the theater, as in “histrionic talent/skills.” Note that the noun histrionics refers to either theatrical performances, or, more commonly, to a deliberate display of emotion for effect, as in “parents used to the child's histrionics.”

This is the story of music performed on the streets, in subways, in parks, in schoolyards, on the back of flatbed trucks, and beyond, from the 1920s to the present day. Drawing on years of interviews and eyewitness accounts, Down On The Corner (Jawbone Press, 2025) introduces readers to a wide range of locations and a myriad of musical genres, from folk to rock'n'roll, the blues to bluegrass, doo-wop to indie rock. Some of the performers he features--Lucinda Williams, Billy Bragg, The Violent Femmes--went on to become international stars; others settled into the curbs, sidewalks, and Tube stations as their workplace for the duration of their careers. Anyone who has lived in or travelled through a city will have encountered street musicians of one kind or another. For the first time, veteran journalist and music-industry publicist Cary Baker tells the complete history of these musicians and the music they play, from tin cups and toonies to QR codes and PayPal. Born on Chicago's South Side, Cary Baker began his writing career at sixteen with an on-spec feature about Chicago street singer Blind Arvella Gray for the Chicago Reader. His return to writing follows a forty-two-year hiatus during which time he directed publicity for six record labels (including Capitol and IRS) and two of his own companies, working with acclaimed artists such as R.E.M., Bonnie Raitt, The Smithereens, James McMurtry, The Mavericks, Bobby Rush, Willie Nile, and more. Prior to his PR years, Baker wrote for the Chicago Reader, Creem, Trouser Press, Bomp!, Goldmine, Billboard, Mix, Illinois Entertainer, and Record magazine. He has also written liner notes for historical reissues from Universal, Capitol/EMI, Numero Group, and Omnivore. He has been a voting member of the Recording Academy since 1979. He lives in Southern California. Cary Baker's website.

Listen to a conversation with Durand Jones, Aaron Frazer and Blake Rhein of the soul band Durand Jones and The Indications. They joined WFYI's Kyle Long for an in-depth discussion of their roots in Bloomington, Indiana and how projects including the IU Soul Revue and Charlie Patton's War brought the band together. The Indications' latest album is titled “Flowers”, and they'll be performing in Indianapolis on September 30 at the Hi-Fi Annex.  Durand Jones and the Indications formed in Bloomington in 2012, while its members were studying at Indiana University. The band's sound was built around a mutual love for classic soul, funk and R&B. Their reputation spread beyond Bloomington in 2016, when Ohio's Colemine Records issued their debut album. The Indication's second album “American Love Call” was issued in 2019 and praised by critics for its lush arrangements and socially conscious lyrics, earning comparisons to The Impressions and The Delfonics. Two years later, their album “Private Space” debuted in the Top 10 of Billboard's Emerging Artists chart. Their latest album “Flowers” builds on the band's distinct blend of vintage soul sounds and contemporary production techniques. Since launching in Bloomington over a decade ago, The Indications have grown into an international force, racking up millions of streams online, and touring across North America and Europe.
