Trumpet virtuoso Wayne Bergeron, one of the most respected and sought-after musicians in the world, joins Ira for an engaging conversation ahead of his appearance with the Jazz Vegas Orchestra in Myron's at The Smith Center on June 17. In this fascinating episode, Wayne reveals the unexpected path that led him to the trumpet—even though it wasn't his first instrument—and how a surprising act of vandalism helped shape his future. He discusses why he wasn't a natural musician, his early desire to play in a rock band, and the influential band directors who helped guide his career. Wayne also shares how his admiration for legendary trumpeter Maynard Ferguson eventually led to joining Ferguson's band, what he learned from the iconic performer, and why he immediately slipped into “fanboy mode” when they first met. He offers behind-the-scenes stories about recording at Capitol Records, explains why Michael Bublé is a seasoned veteran despite his age, and discusses the unique pressures of performing—revealing why he feels completely calm as a studio sideman but still gets nervous when stepping into the spotlight as a featured artist. From career-defining moments to lessons learned from music legends, this episode offers an entertaining and insightful look at one of today's premier trumpet players and the remarkable journey that brought him to the top.

Welcome to Public Broadcast, the brand new podcast feed from Public Record Online, brought to you by listeners like you and our sponsor, Hello Merch. Formerly known as WASTOIDS, Public Record is your home for art, culture and music—not optimized for the algorithm, but optimized for care, preservation, and archiving. This week: Sean Lennon. The son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Sean is a lifelong musician himself. In the ‘90s, he was signed to the Beastie Boys adventurous Grand Royal Records, which released his debut, 1998's Into the Sun. He followed it up in 2006 with Friendly Fire, released on Capitol Records, and he's played in a dizzying array of bands and projects, including Cibo Matto, The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger, Mystical Weapons, and his mom's band, the Plastic Ono Band. He's also in a group with Les Claypool called The Claypool Lennon Delirium, with Primus bassist Les Claypool. They're out on the road now, a traveling circus of rock music that features Primus, The Frog Brigade, and the Claypool Lennon Delirium, which means Les is playing three sets a night, and Sean is playing two—as he's sitting in with the Frog Brigade in addition to his project with Les. Their new album is called The Great Parrot Ox and the Golden Age of Empathy, a psychedelic pop opus that's also a concept album about the role of humanity in the age of AI. Ahead of the tour rolling through Phoenix on June 30th, we caught up with Sean to talk technology, his mother's art and the squares who still don't get it, and whether or not he has any plans to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his album Friendly Fire…but first…are we merely meat machines? Let's dive in and discuss. You can find a full transcript of this chat at publicrecord.online, where you can also scope our other shows, interviews, news reports, and more.

Some songs don't just define a decade — they instantly improve your mood the second they begin playing. Few tracks from the MTV era carry that kind of joyful energy quite like Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves. This week on the Stuck in the '80s Podcast, Steve sits down with frontwoman Katrina Leskanich for a lively conversation about music, touring and the remarkable twists and turns of her career. The episode begins with Katrina reflecting on her experiences aboard The 80s Cruise, where she not only performed for fans of the MTV generation but also hosted one of the ship's beloved trivia competitions. Spearsy and Katrina discuss the uniquely emotional atmosphere of the cruise, where artists and fans reconnect through the shared soundtrack of their youth. Along the way, Katrina revisits the creation of Walking on Sunshine and reflects on recording with legendary producer Scott Litt at the famous Power Station studio in New York. The conversation explores how the band evolved from London's gritty club scene into international pop success during the height of the MTV era. Katrina also discusses the dramatic transition from struggling musician to major-label artist after signing with Capitol Records and the strange realities of navigating the music industry during the 1980s. Like many artists from the era, she experienced both the excitement and pressure of sudden mainstream success. The interview also revisits Katrina's surprising second chapter as a Eurovision champion after winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1997 with Love Shine a Light — a career milestone that helped launch her solo career and introduced her music to an entirely new international audience. Toward the end of the episode, Spearsy and Katrina discuss her upcoming appearances on the Lost 80's Live tour and why audiences continue responding so emotionally to the music of the 1980s. Like many great Stuck in the '80s interviews, the conversation becomes less about nostalgia itself and more about the joy, connection and shared memories these songs continue creating decades later. If you love new wave, MTV nostalgia, unforgettable one-hit wonders that deserved to be much bigger and behind-the-scenes stories from one of the most uplifting voices of the decade, this episode belongs in your playlist.

This week on the New Music Business podcast, Ari sits down with Red Leather, the anonymous artist who turned viral TikTok videos into sold-out tours around the world. Known for his signature red hat, Red Leather first started his career by busking on Hollywood Boulevard before exploding online with viral covers and original songs like “The Only Time It Rains in Hollywood.” In this episode, Red Leather breaks down how he used social media to grow his audience from scratch, why he posted 5 videos a day for 100 straight days, how smashing guitars outside Capitol Records landed him a record deal (that he turned down), and why ticket sales matter more than streams or viral moments. He also opens up about sobriety, surviving addiction, touring independently, and eventually partnering with Empire after years of doing everything DIY.Follow Red Leather:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/redleather/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@redleatherCheck out Ari's Take:https://aristake.com00:04:02 - Intro00:04:36 - The Origin of Red Leather00:06:39 - Sobriety, Addiction & Artistic Vulnerability00:10:11 - Posting 5 Videos a Day for 100 Days00:14:11 - The Viral TikTok That Changed Everything00:20:00 - Smashing Guitars Outside Capitol Records00:25:12 - Why He Turned Down Major Label Deals00:33:28 - Booking Tours Through Instagram DMs00:47:23 - Virality vs Real Fans & Ticket Sales01:01:58 - What “Making It” Means TodayEdited and mixed by Ruben ZarateMusic by Brassroots DistrictProduced by the team at Ari's TakeOrder the THIRD EDITION of How to Make It in the New Music Business: https://book.aristake.com Hosted on Acast.

International Women's Month Series Liz Heller is a tech and media innovator, investor, and producer whose career has bent culture for four decades. She led artist development at MCA, where she commissioned more than 500 music videos for Tom Petty, Bobby Brown, and Belinda Carlisle. She became President of Island Visual Arts, then Executive Vice President of Capitol Records at the exact moment music, audio, and the internet collided. She produced The Basketball Diaries with Leonardo DiCaprio. She executive produced the Good Will Hunting soundtrack. She built early growth engines for TOMS one-for-one, Product(RED), Microsoft, Intel, and Apple. USA Today called her the godmother of the women's cyber movement in Hollywood. She calls herself a “multi-potentialite,” a word she found after I asked her to list everything she'd done back in the earliest episodes, when I first started The Power of Re:Invention. She sat in her office in New Mexico, started writing, and came up with more than forty things. She had no idea the list was that long. I love that. What I love about this conversation is how clearly “little Liz” foreshadowed all of it. She didn't play house. She played office. She was an entrepreneur before she had the word for it. Her mother Billie was the blueprint. A true feminist. She worked on the UN doctrine for the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women and took Liz to marches at eight years old. Her father worshipped her mother and licked envelopes for her mailings. That is the household that made Liz.Her operating principle in life was and is simple and it's the whole episode. "If I am not happy doing something, I am absolutely not in the place of my best work."Some of her “tools” to live by:Try it on. Walk into the room acting like you're already the person. She used it on a woman at a top-five company agonizing over a promotion. The woman took the job.Conditions of satisfaction. Write out what would make you 85 to 90 percent happy. If what you have only hits 60, you have your answer.Voyage of discovery. Sit with your iPad for an hour and click wherever curiosity pulls you. Change your algorithm. Her feed is science, innovation, and knowledge because she made it that way. Brilliant, honestly.Her advice for women is the part you need to hear. Don't go where you're not comfortable. Build your own rooms. Build your own board of directors out of your girlfriends. Build the strategy to change it.Connect with Liz:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizheller/ memBrain: https://www.membrainllc.com THE RE:INVENTION EXCHANGE - for more Inspired Content, Blogs, Podcasts, RE:INVENTION Virtual Chats, or to buy a copy of my book RE:INVENT YOUR LIFE!

In the years immediately following the Second World War, the Barton Brothers, an anarchic Catskill comedy duo, began recording humorous macaronic (that is, bilingual) parody songs that relied in no small part on Yiddish theater and radio for raw material. The Bartons' unexpected success—their send-up of Yiddish radio, “Joe & Paul,” was a bona fide hit, however improbable—inspired clarinetist Mickey Katz, based in Los Angeles and working with first-rate studio players, to begin recording his own exceedingly funny Yiddish-mixed-with-English lyrics set to the melodies of current Hit Parade songs. Capitol Records issued (possibly to their own amazement) a steady stream of these Yinglish albums by Katz all through the 1950s and into the ‘60s. These in turn inspired Allan Sherman, a TV gameshow writer/producer, to begin recording his own parodies of standards and folk songs. Though hardly any of Sherman's lyrics had actual Yiddish content, many still had a clearly Jewish inflection that often alluded—phonetically, grammatically, or syntactically—to Yiddish beginnings. Close readings of selected tracks by the Bartons, by Katz, and by Sherman will focus on their language, their music, their delivery, and what made them so influential and so very funny.

"I Should Be Happy" Singer/keyboardist Anne Richmond Boston showed up on the musical timeline in the late '70s when she joined the Atlanta indie rock outfit The Swimming Pool Q's. Before the goldrush of bands like R.E.M., Soul Asylum, O Positive, Big Dipper and Poi Dog Pondering signing to major labels, The Swimming Pool Q's kind of led the way, inking deals in the mid-'80s with A&M and Capitol Records. They put out five marvelous albums, including Blue Tomorrow and The Deep End, toured with Devo and The Police and garnered a reputation for being a spot-on live act, their brand of idiosyncratic pop filled with jittery rhythms, sterling sax fills, jangling guitars and sonorous vocals. Richmond Boston left the band in 1989 but roared right back with her 1990 debut solo album Big House Of Time. Filled with soaring originals like Dreaming and covers of numbers by Neil Young, John Hiatt and The Lovin' Spoonful, Big House Of Time made a huge splash at college radio. And then? Well, Richmond Boston designed album covers, worked in graphic arts, sang with The Drive By Truckers and Widespread Panic and rejoined the Q's. And that was that. But what about the rumored follow-up to Big House Of Time? Well, it was recorded and sitting on a shelf in a closet in Richmond Boston's house. Titled I Should Be Happy, her sophomore album was worth the wait. A riveting collection that's filled with meditative and melodic numbers, I Should Be Happy is contemplative and moving and finds Richmond Boston tackling the big questions with peerless harmonic grace. www.annerichmondboston.bandcamp.com www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenbooks.com Threads + BLUESKY + IG: @emberspodcast editor@stereoembersthepodcast.com
Today, we're putting The Tonearm's needle on Michael Graves, a five-time Grammy-winning mastering engineer and the founder of Osiris Studio in Los Angeles.Michael's work is restoration as archaeology—pulling performances off deteriorating tapes, damaged acetates, and obsolete formats, then deciding how much intervention is too much. He's done this for recordings by Hank Williams, Aretha Franklin, Stax songwriters, and field recordings from Cambodia, Sudan, and Mississippi.

Here are a couple of ladies who span generations and genres. They can rock, swing, and croon like nobody's business, and are renown for their independence. Wanda Jackson is a founding mother of Rockabilly and still partying at 88; She started recording in 1954, and just recently retired. Although she forged the magical fusion elixir that we call Rockabilly, she has also scored hits in the Gospel and Country genres. Sarah Jarosz, 50+ years younger, studied at the New England Conservatory of Music, but remains pure Texas, like Nanci Griffith or Lyle Lovett - indie Americana artists who fuse country with jazz in an irresistible freshness. She has stated that she relishes expansion, collaboration, and experimentation, with a goal toward “honoring the song” and bringing it to life in the most exciting way possible. Both women are accomplished songwriters as well as vocal interpreters, but today we feature them in the latter position - Wanda, from 1962, keens the vertiginous “Whirlpool”, by Fred Burch and Marijohn Wilken, and Sarah crushes Tom Wait's “Come on Up to the House” with a funky mandolin.SARAH JAROSZI first heard Sarah Jarosz about 10 years ago on Garrison Keillor's radio show, and was smitten immediately. Her tender, and at the same time fluid voice and funky mandolin charms completely - reminding me of the great John Hartford and how he transformed bluegrass to Newgrass. She continued after Garrison left with successor Chris Thile, teaming up with Sarah Watkins, another star from that ensemble, and Aoife O'Donovan to form the trio I'm With Her. At 34, no longer a prodigy, she has become a contemporary bluegrass goddess, who keeps expanding her range. Here she essays Tom Wait's Come on up to the House, in which she manages to combine spirituality with sex appeal - brilliant. WANDA JACKSONWhirlpool is like a psychedelic Torch Song. Uncharacteristically, Wanda takes the role of a vulnerable, love damaged damsel instead of the Take No Prisoners, kick-ass Rocker she usually projects. Released on Capitol Records and produced by their A&R exec, Ken Nelson, this cut obviously is swinging for the bleachers of commercial Country appeal, but its weirdness kept it from charting. However, it remains a monument to her range and dramatic power.

She began songwriting at age 10, went viral on TikTok in 2022 with covers and originals, dropped out of school at 16 to pursue music full-time, and built early momentum with singles like “Maybe” (#75 UK Singles Chart, 2024) and her 2025 EP.Co-written by Spiro with Omer Fedi, Michael Pollack, and Blake Slatkin, the piano-led ballad—sparked by a Bohemian Rhapsody-inspired piano mistake—features cinematic strings by Rob Moose and explores stubborn love, emotional entrapment, and toxic relationships with raw vulnerability and dramatic structure. Live-debuted at KOKO London (September 2025), it earned widespread praise for vocal control and emotional depth.As of January 2026, the track achieved her first UK Top 10 (#9 peak on Official Singles Chart), debuted at #69 on Billboard Hot 100 (week of January 10, climbing), hit Spotify US #23 and Global #47 peaks, amassed 145+ million global streams (over 16 million by November 2025), and contributed to Sink Now, Swim Later surpassing 122 million cumulative streams—driven by TikTok emotional-clip trends and organic virality.Television exposure accelerated crossover: UK debut on Later… with Jools Holland, U.S. performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (January 2026), TODAY, and prior The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (via “Maybe”). Support slots with Teddy Swims (North America) and Sam Smith boosted visibility.Her sold-out 2026 North American headline tour, The Visitor Tour, launches March 3–6 at Troubadour (Los Angeles, 2 dates), includes stops at Café Du Nord (San Francisco), Lincoln Hall (Chicago), The Great Hall (Toronto), The Atlantis (Washington, DC), The Foundry (Philadelphia), Brighton Music Hall (Boston), and concludes March 17–18 at Bowery Ballroom (New York, 2 dates)—all 100% sold out across 10 dates.Industry nods include BRIT Awards Critics' Choice shortlist (2026).

Ay, yo!Life be life-in' right now, and I'm feelin' it; the usual stress of holiday hosting and shopping and scheduling and all the other stuff has my mind crinkled and my right shoulder blade in a knot.It's a lot.Sometimes, though, a little dose of blessing floats your way, and I couldn't be more grateful to share with you that I had the pleasure of meeting (and sitting with) the beautiful and the savvy, the sharp and the hilarious, the talented and ambitious, Kimology!That's right.Kim is a daughter and a sister. She's a flippin' playwright and a singer. You might see her modeling, or you might catch her making short films. She's featuring in videos and on Tech N9ne tracks. She's got her own (The Kimology Show) progrum, and co-hosts another (But Did You Listen to the Album?). And atop all that, she was kind enough to join me for Episode No. 194.Few people know this (and it doesn't matter outside of my sphere), but this is a hard gig to maintain when it comes to the soliciting of strangers, the interview prep, the editing and the uploading.Seldom -- and I do mean seldom -- do I interact with someone so lovely, so prompt, and so willing to come share a piece of this thing I curate. And, boy am I lucky that my algorithmic signals crossed paths with Kim's.We talked about family, growing up, performing, directing, producing, writing, singing, recording, and a ton more.We also talked a little bit about a few of Kim's favorite albums. Those were these:Bad (1987), Michael JacksonBoyz II Men's Cooleyhighharmony (1991)T.E.V.I.N. (1991), Tevin CampbellToni Braxton's self-titled release (1993)Never Say Never (1998), BrandyKim is @iamkimology on Instagram.

In 1963, Capitol Records considered the Beatles “a band who looked and sounded weird with an odd name and no leader” and refused to release their records in America, despite being owned by EMI. As author Andrew Cook points out, “the truth is stranger than fiction”. New correspondence unearthed in his fascinating Capitol Gains maps out the tortuous wranglings of the deal-makers and “pantomime bad guys” behind the greatest and most successful marketing hype in history, all jockeying to take credit and manage their reputations. Some highlights here … … the truth behind Epstein's mythical phone calls … “the more successful the Beatles were, the more Capitol were proving themselves wrong” … why 1966 was the band's “Last Supper” … “from the Battle of Hastings to World War 2 to the Beatles ... it's the winners who rewrite history” … the American 12-track rule and how they repackaged product “to give it more grab” … the Beatles' commercial fate if they'd never been successful in the States … the pitiful (standard) original EMI deal – “18.75 of a penny per group member for every album” … the “Butcher sleeve”: how 750,000 were printed and the fortune lost in “Operation Retrieve”. And the Capitol exec whose kids made $1.5m from copies stashed in his garage … how Epstein was contracted to make 25 per cent of all Beatles monies ‘til 1975 … Bob Dylan's tangential role in the signing of the Beatles to Capitol … and the “cowboy film” that nearly happened.

Analytic Dreamz unpacks the somber artwork showing Perry's scratched, bruised face, signaling raw emotional vulnerability after her summer breakup with Orlando Bloom and the public October reveal of her Paris romance with Justin Trudeau. This segment explores the track's potential ties to heartbreak healing, the ongoing Lifetimes Tour (1.1 million tickets sold through December 2025), and mixed media takes: Billboard highlights strong sales, while Exclaim! calls it a possible distraction from 143's 3/10 critique. With no confirmed album link, Analytic Dreamz analyzes fan buzz on socials, chart prospects for this post-“Woman's World” era, and whether “Bandaids” reignites Teenage Dream magic or stays PR-driven.

Cricket's for the birds. It's October (or was October as of pressing) and the only bats that belong within spitting distance of Capitol Records are made in Louisville right in the heart of the ol' U.S. of A. To celebrate the end of another season of America's pastime, somehow currently dominated by Canadians (#2025), T.J. and Tony resurrect Producer Casey's most confusing episode concept: THE BEATLE BATTING ORDER — this time constructing their lineups exclusively from stateside releases. Between mouthfuls of peanuts and Cracker Jacks, we wonder: ⚾️ ❄ Is Paul actually a Mets fan, or is Darryl Strawberry just his dealer? ⚾️

Send us a textGreg Kimble's story defies the ordinary arc of success. From a Capitol Records artist at 15 to a Vegas headliner at 21 making $25,000 weekly, his early trajectory seemed glamorous—until it nearly destroyed him. When his father showed up unannounced to save him from self-destruction, Greg experienced the first of many spiritual nudges that would ultimately redirect his life toward purpose and impact."Everyone has something inside that is needed and necessary in this world," Greg shares with electric conviction. This belief fuels his work through The Final Percent, a company named after witnessing a total solar eclipse in Wyoming. The metaphor is powerful—at 99% coverage, daylight remains equivalent to 10,000 full moons, but that final 1% creates total transformation. This philosophy now drives his approach to personal development and the 15 international masterminds he leads.What makes this conversation particularly compelling is Greg's raw honesty about family trauma and forgiveness. Rather than perpetuating cycles of violence with his abusive brother, he chose a different path—"Conflict is inevitable. Combat is a choice." This distinction offers listeners a framework for handling their own difficult relationships without compromising their values or peace.Most striking is Greg's challenge about imagination itself. "Both faith and fear are completely made up," he explains, suggesting we have the power to choose which stories we tell ourselves. Why invent worst-case scenarios when we could just as easily imagine positive outcomes? His practical approach to spirituality frames God not as a "genie" but as a partner who provides opportunities that require our action.Are you living a life worth dying for?

When Capitol Records' Next Quiet Riot Vanished Into Thin AirEver wonder what happens when a dream team of rock royalty assembles to create the perfect 80s metal album—only to watch it disappear during the mastering process? Icon's Night of the Crime is the Phoenix-born tragedy that sits at the very top of the “could have, should have been huge” list, featuring Eddie Kramer behind the boards, Ron Nevison on the mix, and Bob Halligan Jr. crafting radio-ready hooks that Kerrang! Magazine would later rank as the third greatest AOR album of all time.In this deep dive, the Dig Me Out crew unpacks one of metal's most fascinating “what if” stories—a Capitol Records release that had everything: sophisticated songwriting with clever half-time dynamics, dual guitar harmonies that rivaled the best AOR bands, and a powerhouse vocalist in Stephen Clifford who could hit impossible octaves while maintaining that essential metal grit. But just as the album was ready for its 1985 MTV conquest, Clifford walked away during mastering, taking Icon's shot at stardom with him and leaving behind a perfectly crafted 40-minute mystery.If you're fascinated by the intersection of professional songcraft and metal authenticity—think Def Leppard's Pyromania meets Journey's sophistication with the edge of early Quiet Riot—this episode reveals why geography, timing, and band chemistry matter as much as talent in the unforgiving world of 80s rock radio.Episode Highlights:0:00 – Tournament Results – How Icon beat Ozzy in a listener poll tie-breaker9:53 – The Eddie Kramer Factor – Why Jimi Hendrix's producer took on a Phoenix metal band12:17 – The Vanishing Singer – Stephen Clifford's mysterious exit during mastering18:05 – Sophisticated Metal Dynamics – Breaking down Icon's clever use of half-time and strategic pauses25:33 – AOR Meets Metal – How Icon straddled the line between commercial appeal and hard rock edge29:10 – Bob Halligan Jr.‘s Hooks – The song doctor's six co-writes that should have been hits38:00 – Perfect Timing Gone Wrong – Why 1985 was Icon's window between Pyromania and Hysteria52:00 – Phoenix Geography Problem – How being 400 miles from the Sunset Strip hurt Icon's chances1:00:34 – Final Ratings – Two “Worthy Albums” and one “Better EP” verdict on this lost classicReady to discover your next obsession in overlooked 80s metal perfection?

What does it take to rise from cleaning studios to shaping some of the most iconic records of our time? Trina Shoemaker's story is not just about breaking into the music industry—it's about breaking through it. As the first woman to win a Grammy for Best Engineered Album, Trina paved the way for a generation of female producers and engineers, and she brings her powerful voice and razor-sharp insight to this inspiring and unfiltered conversation. In this episode, Trina shares how she went from mopping floors at Capitol Records to earning Grammy wins for her work with artists like Sheryl Crow and Emmylou Harris. She tells the behind-the-scenes stories of working on Wrecking Ball and how that album helped define the sound of Americana. We explore her years in London learning the art of engineering, her move to New Orleans to join the legendary Kingsway Studio, and the deep musical and personal lessons she learned along the way. Trina also pulls back the curtain on the realities of being a woman in a male-dominated field—how she navigated the industry, demanded respect, and held true to her belief in capturing raw, honest performances. She discusses her approach to vocal production, why she avoids auto-tune, and how crafting backing vocals is one of her secret weapons. Beyond her life in the studio, Trina opens up about her love of writing and her dream of publishing a novel and having actor Will Patton narrate the audiobook. Whether you're a seasoned engineer or just starting out, this episode offers a powerful reminder: authenticity, persistence, and a deep respect for the artist's process will always rise above the noise. Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.com My guest today is Trina Shoemaker, who was born in 1965 and raised in Joliet, IL, southwest of Chicago. Over the past three-and-a-half decades, she has produced, recorded and mixed hundreds of records. A four-time Grammy® Award winner and six-time nominee, she is the first woman to win the Grammy® for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. Her credits run the gamut from Queens Of The Stone Age, Rodney Crowell, Charley Crockett and Iggy Pop to Sheryl Crow, Brandi Carlile and Tanya Tucker. Although audio engineering is a passion, writing songs and playing musical instruments are not. Instead, while her ears are busy in the studio recording music, her imagination is busy creating characters, narratives, plotlines and dialogues as she travels through the hidden workings of songs. These stories have culminated in the creation of her debut novel, Bury Me Alive In Your Sugar. Trina lives on Mobile Bay in Fairhope, Alabama, with her husband, singer-songwriter Grayson Capps.

From Britpop to Beanie Babies, 1995 was da bomb! So much so, in fact, that we thought it would be pretty phat if we revisited the albums of the year in a Volume 2 episode. As if! This week's Third Lad, singer/songwriter/guitarist Josh Caterer had a pretty memorable 1995 as well. His Chicago pop-punk band Smoking Popes signed a major label deal with Capitol Records, who re-released their second indie album, Born To Quit. The album featured the alternative smash "Need You Around," which received radio and MTV airplay, as well as a prominent placement in the hit film Clueless. Fast forward 30 years and things are once again heating up for Smoking Popes. They've just released a triumphant new album, Lovely Stuff, and are celebrating three decades of Born To Quit by playing the record live in its entirety this spring. This summer, they will embark on a tour with Bayside. https://smokingpopesmusic.com Josh joined us from a random rest stop somewhere in Florida to chat about '95 albums, the Popes' past, present, and future, hangin' out in Billie Joe Armstrong's basement, getting Morrissey's seal of approval, the pros and cons of sudden fame, faith, Wisconsin, and much more.

Drew ArnottTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Drew Arnott. In this episode, Drew and I chat about his growing up between Scottland and Canada, and why. Then we do a bit of a deep dive on the unique and rare instrument called The Mellotron. Drew shares some fun and nutty stories about his own Mellotron, and then we get into why he and Darryl Kromm started Strange Advance in the first place. Strange Advance signed a deal with Capitol Records and released TWO albums; having never played a single live show. Drew explains how that is even possible, and why that happened. The first THREE records released by Strange Advance sold GOLD in Canada, and then they stopped making music..... for 33 years. I ask Drew what the heck happened, and he gives me the deets. Strange Advance has released a new record. Thier fourth record, aptly titled 'Strange Advance 4' is out now, and is a banger! Drew graciously agrees to let me play 'Flow My Tears', my favorite track from the new album, and you will understand why that is my fave. Currently, you can catch Strange Advance playing in and around Canada, at various shows and events. Make sure you follow them on social media, specifically Facebook, and check out their website to find out when they will be playing a show near you.

In 1998 it seemed like Josh Caterer had it made. His band, Smoking Popes, had three critically acclaimed albums out. They were signed to Capitol Records. He had married his high school sweetheart. But Josh had also just become a Christian and couldn't reconcile his rock band life with his new evangelical life. So he quit the band. On today's episode hosts Andrew Gill and Dr. Leah Payne talk with Josh Caterer about that decision, how the band got back together, their new album, Lovely Stuff, and their new single, "Allegiance."
