"You still got it!" is a popular, albeit patronizing chant directed at older pro wrestlers who can still put on a good performance. Well, this show is turning eight years old, an elderly age in podcasting years, so maybe it's time to get that chant going. On this episode, Andrew reunites with show co-founder Chris Maffei for an anniversary show dedicated to older musicians who still put out quality work well into their careers and are worthy of a "you still got it" chant. Artists played include James Brown, AC/DC, Lenny Kravitz, Madonna, Loretta Lynn, Ozzy Osbourne, Blondie, Deep Purple, Santana, and many more. Thank you to everybody for listening to and supporting the podcast for the past eight years!Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent PartnerTwitter: @MusicoftheMatBluesky: @MusicoftheMat / @justandrew / @cmstrikeaudioChris's website: cmstrikeaudio.comAll VOW podcasts, articles, previews, and reviews: VoicesofWrestling.comJoin the VOW Discord to discuss Music of the Mat and other shows/topics: VoicesofWrestling.com/DiscordDonate to Music of the Mat and other VOW podcasts: VoicesofWrestling.com/DonateAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Jeremy Clyde is a great guest who provides not only British charm and elegance but great stories! Listen to this one hour in-depth interview with Richard Solomon.    Jeremy Clyde is not just one half of sixties British Invasion duo Chad & Jeremy, he’s also an accomplished actor and songwriter who recently embarked on a one-album-a-year solo project entitled ‘The Bottom Drawer Sessions’. Jeremy takes the stage in a rare solo show to launch the newest installment of The Bottom Drawer Sessions, performing new songs, some Chad & Jeremy classics, and stripped down versions of deep cuts from the psychedelic years. The first of Chad Stuart & Jeremy Clyde's 14 U.S. chart hits was 1963’s "Yesterday's Gone", followed by "A Summer Song", "Willow Weep for Me", "If I Loved You", "Before and After" and more. TV appearances included "Shindig", "Hullabaloo", "The Patty Duke Show", "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and "Batman."   Their musical adventure-and evolution-continued with the hits "Distant Shores" and "You Are She" , from late 1966, but they turned a corner with the September 25, 1967 LP release ‘Of Cabbages And Kings". Looking back at the classic album, All Music guide says Chad & Jeremy "were gifted songwriters who could work outside the standard pop framework of the day, and Chad Stuart (who orchestrated the album) was a talented and imaginative arranger who gives the material a sound that's both rich and intimate."   That songwriting gift never left Jeremy Clyde, and through decades of off and on touring with Chad & Jeremy and on and on acting on British television--including "Downton Abbey"-- and the stages of London's West End. Beginning with the 2014 release of "The Bottom Drawer Sessions No. 1", Jeremy Clyde has --with more than 50 sweeping, evocative, inspired recordings- reclaimed the title of ‘songwriter’. He describes the Bottom Drawer sessions as “analog songs for an analog age”. With his 2018 U.S. tour dates - on his own and with Peter Asher - another title, "troubadour" can't be far behind. Special thanks to Jeremy for a wonderful interview.   (Chris Maffei - sound engineer for this recording - thanks Chris!)

Open the Voice Gate is finally back and we've got a lot to talk about! John & Michael are here but sadly Milo & Case are not, so once again we bring you another VOW podcast network crossover, as Chris Maffei from Music of the Mat joins us! We briefly touch upon the main matches from the CHAMPION GATE shows from last month (as they still had not made air the last time we recorded) before diving into a full recap of the 4/7 Korakuen. Plus, we preview the DEAD OR ALIVE cage match and then do a deep dive into this year's King of Gate blocks! We discuss who we think has a shot to win each of the four blocks and then talk about some of the biggest matches that are likely to make tape, going through the entire (frankly, quite amazing looking) tour! Finally, we wrap it up with a couple of your questions.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/open-the-voice-gate/donations
