"Punk music has produced some of the greatest performers and some of the greatest musician nicknames. Here is a list of the best names and where they came form."
Keith welcomes Tim Singer back to the show and we discuss his very early life in the Netherlands, his family's immigration to the US, Tim's intro to the world of hardcore and punk via New York hardcore and CBGB's, his fanzine Boiling Point and his early band No Escape. We also discuss Deadguy history, their reunion, the making of their new LP "Near Death Travel Services" and more. Keith also welcomes Dave Rosenberg to the show and we discuss his early history with music, discovering punk and hardcore shows at City Gardens, the formation of Deadguy, how the band carried on after the split of the original lineup, the reunion which was prompted by Decibel Magazine and the Deadguy Documentary film, a deep dive look into the new Deadguy LP "Near Death Travel Services" and more.
"Back in 1973 Muhammad Ali knocks out George Foreman in what was called The Rumble in the Jungle. This victory inspires Johnny Wakelin to write the song Black Superman. He gets a hit with it. So what other songs are written for or about athletes. We have a list."
Harley probably played CBGB more than anyone else alive. His impact on New York City music and the hardcore scene can't be overstated. And neither can how difficult his life was. He was a kid living a brutal adult life, but music got him through it. Just like it gets so many through it.I truly think after hearing about his journey, in his words, you'll love music more. Because it's everything, or, “almost everything.”For 30% off your first year of DistroKid to share your music with the world click DistroKid.com/vip/lovemusicmoreSubscribe to this pod's blog on Substack to receive deeper dives on the regular
Friday, August 16, 1974, was a hot summer day in New York City…it was 31 degrees, but the humidity made it feel a lot hotter…and if you were down in the Bowery amidst all the concrete, it was hotter still...and it smelled. But what happened that night, when a bunch of punks took the stage at a scussy dive bar called "CBGB's", would change music forever. This is the story of the original Ramones.

"Last week we spoke of Dockery Farms which the birthplace of The Blues. As all music does it was expanded and taken to different places by the musicians who played it. Here is a run down and description of the most popular forms of The Blues."
"Back in March of 1979 the movie The China Syndrome came out. Weeks later the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster occurred. This lead to musicians setting up MUSE and holding the NO Nukes concerts, albums and film. We have the entire story including the first time Bruce Springsteen was recorded live."

This is the way Wikipedia describes Machine Dazzle: "(born 1972) is the stage name of Matthew Flower, an American costume designer, set designer, performance artist and drag queen known for his excessive and fantastical camp, surrealist, queer and maximalist approach."This description doesn't do this creative person justice because his talent, skills and accomplishments are too vast and varied to describe. Pulitzer prize winning theater critic Hilton Als puts it this way in the New Yorker, "...a true theatrical genius, who, under his professional name, Machine Dazzle, has created some of the most inventive costumes and sets I have ever seen. " In this Dr. Lisa session we delve into Machine's immersive process as well as what it was like for him, growing up in a series of small towns as a queer person, how creative problem solving is part of his DNA plus why he doesn't go to therapy. Machine Dazzle was born Matthew Flower, in 1972 in Upper Darby Township, Pennsylvania. The middle child of three sons, Matthew was mostly raised by his mother Deborah, while his father James was away working as an engineer on oil tankers. The family moved to Houston, Texas and then eventually to Idaho Falls, where Matthew felt alienated amongst the predominantly Mormon community. “I was always the tallest and the gayest” Machine Dazzle told Hilton Als when speaking about this period of his life for a piece in The New Yorker. Machine cites seeing the 1980 Olivia Newton-John film Xanadu at the age of 8 as a defining moment that helped shape his view of himself. At the age of 19, he came out as gay to his conservative parents.[2] Machine Dazzle attended and graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder, earning a degree in art. In 1994 he moved to New York City and joined the Dazzle Dancers. Machine Dazzle spent this time working a myriad of day jobs, including a position as a jewelry designer and at the non-profit cultural center Exit Art, to support his growing fascination with designing extravagant costumes to wear at night in New York City's clubs such as CBGB and Jackie 60. The origin of the name Machine Dazzle came from dancing in costume at one such club as a Dazzle Dancer. A friend referred to him as a dancing machine, which quickly morphed into Machine Dazzle. As Machine's costumes began to catch the attention of other club kids and eventually he began taking commissions from drag queens and dancers. Julie Atlas Muz asked Machine to design a full show in 2004. In 2008, Machine Dazzle designed the sets and costumes for Lustre, a Midwinter Trans-Fest, starring Justin Vivian Bond. In 2009, he designed Taylor Mac's five hour long The Lily's Revenge. Mac and Machine Dazzle would go on to collaborate extensively throughout their careers.[3]
"Dockery Farms is said to be the place where the Delta Blues began. That is a bold statement but once you hear the research I have gathered it will be hard to argue. Robert Johnson did not sell his soul for great musical talent. He went to Dockery Farms which is still open today and welcoming visitors."

What is Evil? Different tradition have different ideas. In this compelling Q & A episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how the Bhakti tradition understands darkness, Satan, and the concept of evil. Is it a cosmic force? A personal being? Or simply the absence of divine light? Other questions include how to navigate workplace obligations at bars while maintaining spiritual sobriety, and what pure devotional service looks like in today's world. Key Highlights: • Evil explained Bhakti-style: darkness isn't a rival force—it's what happens when we turn away from the light • What to do when your boss schedules meetings in a bar (spoiler: garlic-soaked pizza may also be involved) • Pure devotion demystified: how love shows up in kirtan, service, and yes, even chicken coop assignments • Lessons from Mussolini to CBGB's: the slippery slope of bad choices and the art of guarding your inner light • It's not about being judgmental—but about choosing clarity over compromise

I'm also thinking ahead to some local music ideas that might be in the works.

"First you need to know there are no swear words in this show. It was this week back in the 60s when the FBI released a letter stating that there were no curse words in the song Louie Louie. But people keep looking. This is a list of songs that were banned or otherwise maligned because someone was sure the singer was cursing. But there was no curse word. It is a long list."
"This week back in 2007 Sammy Hagar sold an 80 percent stake in his Cabo Wabo tequila for $80 million. Since then it seems every musician or band has their own line of booze. Here is a good long list and where you can buy it."
“Inspirados por los Ramones, lograron tocar en su templo punk: el CBGB de Nueva York. Apasionados de las películas de terror, protagonizaron dos filmes de serie B a las órdenes del director más reconocido del cine de género en España, Jess Franco. Desde un pequeño apartamento en Vigo reconvertido en oficina, hasta el escenario principal de festivales en Japón y Alemania, la historia de Killer Barbies es una vertiginosa carrera nacida en los márgenes del movimiento indie de los años 90, repleta de momentos sorprendentes y asombrosos”. Y están de actualidad porque sacan su octavo disco en mayo con Subterfuge y por un libro hoy protagonista de nuestro viaje: Voy a matarte esta noche. La ruidosa y acelerada historia de Killer Barbies (Ed. Applehead) por nuestro invitado Luís León Luri y con colaboraciones entre otros de Mario Vaquerizo · Alaska · Doctor Gonzo · Valeria Vegas · Carlos Galán · Jesús Ordovás · Santiago Segura y por supuesto nuestros también invitados, los Killer Barbies genuinos Silvia Superstar y Billy King.Con Don Víctor desde el Planeta Segovia conectamos Killer Barbies con los cómics.Escuchar audio
"We all know the stories of the Beatles, Doors, Dylan and Stones on Ed Sullivan. However, there are a few more good stories you might find interesting. They are not as big at the main stories, but interesting nonetheless."
"A story about the Payola Hearings came up in a music history feed and it occurred to me that we have never done a show on Payola. It is a rather interesting story of companies acting in their own interest with the backing of the government. You may think Payola is bad but I believe I can change your mind."

The podcast episode features Jesse Rifkin, the owner of Walk on the Wildside Tours NYC, a music history walking tour company in New York City, and the author of the book 'This Must Be the Place: Music, Community, and Vanishing Spaces in New York City.' Rifkin shares his background, including his consultancy roles as a pop music historian and his 12 years as a touring musician. They discuss his first concert experience, watching Bob Dylan with Ani DiFranco as the opening act at the Filene Center in Vienna, Virginia, and the interesting intersections his life has had with notable music historians like Alan Lomax.Rifkin recounts his experience attending a unique U2 concert at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, highlighting how seeing a globally famous band in an intimate venue was a surreal and memorable experience. He emphasizes the different dimensions of enjoying massive arena shows versus small, underground music scenes. He talks about his favorite bands, particularly Akron Family and other experimental groups, often performing at DIY venues like Silent Barn and emphasizing how these experiences felt more personal and impactful.The conversation shifts to Jesse's walking tours, which often focus on the punk and post-punk scenes in NYC, featuring iconic sites like CBGB. He discusses the importance of understanding the human and local context behind legendary music and bands, offering a more tangible and relatable connection to this history. His tours aim to demystify the grandiosity of famous musicians by highlighting their humble beginnings in intimate settings.Finally, Jesse talks about his book and its evolution from his extensive tours and Instagram presence, which caught the attention of his editor in 2019. He details the content of the book, which spans 60 years of music history, categorizing different NYC music scenes, and offers practical insights into creating community-driven music venues. Jesse's mission is to show that music and performance spaces can be accessible and transformative, urging people to see the possibility within DIY approaches to music and community building.BANDS: Akron Family, Bad Brains, Beastie Boys, Blondie, Bob Dylan, Castanets, The Cure, Elephant 6 Recording Company, Grateful Dead, Lynyrd Skynard, Neutral Milk Hotel, New York Dolls, Olivia Tremor Control, Patti Smith, Ramones, Sonic Youth, Talking Heads, U2, Velvet Underground, Wooden Wand and the Vanishing Voice, Woods.VENUES: 171A, Apollo Theater, Bowery Ballroom, CBGB, Death by Audio, Jelly NYC, Silent Barn, Tonic, Uncle Paulie's, Wolf Trap.

Here Comes The Space Cow is more than just a new LP — it's the sound of four musicians overflowing with talent but also bound by something deeper. This group plays like they were born to find each other, blending jazz grooves with just the right dash of funk. It's tight, soulful, and polished in the way only seasoned artists can pull off. Roger Kunkel (in photo) stopped by the studio to give us a taste, spinning a few tracks and gracing us with a couple of mesmerizing live performances on guitar. It was pure magic. Roger Kunkel -- Guitar, vocals. Stoo Odom -- Stand up bass, vocals. Bart VanDer Zeuuw -- Drums. Max Hart -- Hammond organ, pedal steel guitar. Roger spent his 20s touring and recording as the electric guitarist for Thin White Rope, a critically acclaimed Davis band that released five albums and played venues from CBGB to the Soviet Union to the Reading Festival. Though the group disbanded in 1992, their legacy endures, with The Guardian dubbing them cult heroes in 2015 and all five albums reissued in 2018. In the late '90s, Kunkel shifted gears, forming the jazz-surf-rock group Acme Rocket Quartet, which gained a following in the San Francisco Lounge scene. By the early 2000s, he stepped back from live performance to focus on family and study acoustic instruments like bluegrass guitar, mandolin, and fiddle. More recently, he has returned to performing with the retro country band Mike Blanchard and the Californios, released a solo acoustic album, and revived Acme Rocket Quartet.
"At the time of this recording, President Trump has paused the Tariffs but for China. Even so, the tariffs will have a marked effect on the cost of almost everything dealing with music including instruments to records to touring to streaming."
Dragbody and Beyond: Scott White's Musical JourneyJoin us as we dive into the life and music journey of Scott White.

Records. Scott also talks about touring the east coast with notable bands like Cease (Tampa), Assück (St. Pete), and Cream Abdul Babar (Tallahassee), as well as his experiences at various festivals and getting to play the legendary CBGB's in NYC multiple times!One of the highlights of Scott's journey with Dragbody was their 2021 European tour, where he shares stories of playing in Germany, Switzerland, Spain, and more. He also opens up about his time in the studio, recording in Chicago with the late, great Steve Albini, and recording with other talented folks like Dave Michaels at The Difference, Mark Ignaffo at Reel Time Studios, and Steve Heritage at Morrisound.After Dragbody, Scott went on to join southern rock/sludge band Railsplitter and later formed Six Dead Horses, where he took on roles as vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter. We also explore Scott's artistic side, from his early days screen-printing for bands to his work as a tattoo artist and co-owner of Rise Above Tattoos in Orlando.Tune in for an in-depth conversation with Scott White, covering his musical journey, artistic endeavors, and more.
"Tool was just roundly booed off the stage at their own festival. Seems they promised two separate sets over two night and did not deliver. But it is not just them. You will not believe some other bands who were booed off stage as well."
"There are a lot of songs that have famous people in their titles. We wanted to know who some of the lesser known people named in titles are. The internet did not disappoint. We have a good long list."
"We hit a thread that listed some songs that were written for revenge. A single Google Search later and we had a good long list. And it is not just Taylor Swift."
"It seems that lately that are more plane crashes and close calls than we have had in a while. There are many stories of musicians dying in plane crashes but what we have here are stories of survival over multiple crashes and air mishaps."
On this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we're stepping into the grimy, graffiti-smeared chaos of CBGB—the legendary Bowery dive that became punk's ground zero. A Cathedral of Misfits. Picture this: December 1973, Hilly Kristal, a former Marine, opens a bar at 315 Bowery, dreaming of country, bluegrass, and blues. Instead, the junkies and misfits of New York's underbelly gave him something else—a revolution. CBGB wasn't just a club; it was a musical laboratory for rebels. With a simple rule that bands couldn't play covers, The Ramones hammered out three-chord blitzkriegs, Patti Smith snarled poetry into punk, Blondie strutted to stardom, and Talking Heads turned weird into gold—all while helping change rock forever. The place stank, the bathrooms were a nightmare, but the music? Pure, unpolished fire. By the ‘80s, Sunday matinees flipped it to hardcore—bands like Bad Brains and the Beastie Boys' early thrash days tearing the roof off. From punk's birth to its brutal evolution, CBGB launched a global DIY movement, proving you didn't need polish, just guts. But the story ends ugly—rent wars and gentrification killed it in 2006, turning a punk mecca into a fashion boutique and an airport restaurant. Grab your leather jacket, because we're diving into the birthplace of rebellion, the chaos inside those peeling walls, and how a little club with a country name rewrote rock's rulebook.

"Brian Setzer of the Stray Cats announced he is dealing with an unnamed autoimmune disease that has taken his ability to play guitar. This is certainly not the first time something like this has happened. We have a list of musicians who are in a battle that has taken away their ability to play."
Angela Jaeger in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.amazon.co.uk/Feel-Famous-Punk-Diaries-1977-1981/dp/1955125570 I Feel Famous: Punk Diaries 1977-1981 is a girl's coming of age story set to the pulse of punk rock. The book tracks 17-year-old Angela Jaeger's exciting discovery of punk music and its accompanying lifestyle in 1977. A music enthusiast living in New York's East Village, Angela's story unfolds chronologically, charting her late adolescence in tandem with her transition from observer of the nascent punk scene to eager participant. Gradually becoming a nightly fixture of her neighborhood's vibrant underground rock milieu at CBGB and Max's Kansas City, by 1978 she had continued to fulfill her punk fantasy abroad. She followed the Clash on a tour across England, finally returning home in 1979 to start her own band. Angela encountered an impressive cast of characters on her adventures, including Lydia Lunch, Joe Strummer, Billy Idol, Klaus Nomi, and Sid Vicious. Laced with humor and wide-eyed curiosity, Angela's daily first-hand accounts take the reader on a personal journey not found in other punk histories. Additional commentary by the author provides context and further anecdotal material. The text is illustrated with the visual expressions of Angela's enthusiasm—her drawings of punk personalities and fans, previously unseen photos and ephemera culled from her personal archive—affording a unique insight into the relationship between the music, the media, and the audience. The diaries touch on a variety of themes including identity politics, downtown NY, anglophilia, fandom, fame, and fashion. Contrasting the stark black and white of 1970s New York with the exuberant beat-up color of a decaying London and its disenchanted youth, a lost era is brought back to life through a dedicated fan's own reportage. Creative, funny and endlessly cool, the result is an unprecedented perspective into an ever-popular moment in contemporary cultural history.
"Fred Durst and the members of Limp Bizkit have brought a rather substantial lawsuit against their record company for unpaid royalties. I know it is Limp Bizkit but the suit goes back to before streaming to when artists had lousy deals and if it is upheld in court, could lay bare much of what was going on in the 90s."
On this episode, Marc talks with Angela Jaeger, author of “I Feel Famous: Punk Diaries 1977-1981,” released on February 4th, 2025. It's a compendium of her diary entries when she was a teenager living in New York and London, going to see punk bands at CBGB's, Max's, Tier 3, and many other places. Jaeger seemingly saw and met every band around, forging friendships with the Cramps, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, X-Ray Spex, the Raincoats, and the Clash, among many others. Her diary entries rush with the excitement of getting to see new music every night at a time when bands were seemingly forming every minute. As Jaeger writes, "When I see myself jumping back and forth between New York and London, going out all the time to see bands, joining bands, starting college, stopping college, etc, it leaves my head spinning. And yet I see the motivations behind my moves–wanting to figure out who I was on my own terms, not always pleasing my parents or even myself, but curious to grab the moment, tell the story here and now.”You can buy Jaeger's book here: https://hatandbeard.com/products/i-feel-famous-punk-diaries-1977-1981We hope you enjoy Marc's conversation with Angela Jaeger!
"It seems impossible that a judge in Brazil could stop streaming services worldwide from playing a song due to a copyright concern. That is what is happening now to Adele. If other countries stand by the injunction then it could have a rather wide ranging concerns."
"I wrote a book. It is titled We Will Try and Get That On For You. My Life in Personality Radio. It is a memoir of radio in the 80s and 90s when I did it for real. In this show we will tell you where you can get it and play some excerpts from the Audible audio version."
"The LA Wildfires have devastated multiple communities. The number of not only musicians but producers and orchestras and studios and engineers affected is vast. There are some big names but mainly those who simply made their living in music. We will talk about it and how you can help if you wish."

Before January wraps, let's celebrate that 39 years ago this month on January 18, 1986, the Replacements got banned for life from SNL. In the middle of playing "Bastards of Young" on live TV, singer Paul Westerberg yelled to guitarist Bob Stinson, "Come on, F*cker!" during this guitar solo. In a combo platter of VIDEO and audio featuring one of our favorite guests, Tommy Stinson tells the story of yet another rowdy New York incident when the band played at the legendary CBGB. When the God of Thunder, Gene Simmons from KISS, walked in the Replacements decided that being on their worst behavior was exactly what the occasion called for.
