Esta semana tenemos como protanista a uno de los destinos por excelencia para el verano: las islas de Ibiza y Formentera. Escuchamos bandas con videoclips rodados en Ibiza como Dorian o Wham. Suenan otros ilustres que también han tenido lazos con las islas como Freddie Mercury, Pink Floyd o King Crimson. Y por supuesto escuchamos artistas locales como Billy Flamingos, Denisdenis, Jordi Cardona o Joven Dolores. Entrevistamos a Javier González que acaba de publicar su última novela con el título de "No quedan flores en Formentera". Con él hablamos del movimiento hippie, de música y de ese libro cargado de referencias culturales de la década de los 60 mientras recorremos diferentes rincones de la isla. Todo ello lo hacemos escuchando algunas bandas que han inspirado este libro: The Tornados, Bob Dylan y The Loovin' Spoonful. Otro invitado es Diego Calvo, CEO de Concept Hotel Group y artífice de las fiestas Rock Nights. Hablamos de la cadena hotelera más estimulante y original de Ibiza y escuchamos a Shinova y Alcalá Norte como ejemplo de algunas de las bandas que estarán actuando en las fiestas que están preparando para este verano. También hablamos con Javi Box, agitador cultural y DJ habitual de las fiestas Flower Power. Además recuperamos a su antigua banda Peter Colours, recordamos bandas desaparecidas y nos cuenta algunos de sus rincones favoritos de Ibiza. Te hablamos de películas como Formentera Lady de Pau Durà o More, ésta de 1969 y que tenía a Pink Floyd como protagonistas. Y enlazando con la mítica banda británica te hablamos del colectivo de diseñadores Hipgnosis, su trabajo diseñando portadas para grupos como Led Zeppelin, T-Rex o los mismos Pink Floyd y la conexión de Aubrey Powell, uno de sus fundadores, con la isla de Formentera. Los últimos minutos se los dedicamos al festival Sonorama Ribera Ibiza de octubre, lo que será el broche perfecto al verano en Ibiza.
"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."
"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."
"If you have an extra 12495 dollars lying around then you can be a roadie for Gene Simmons on his solo tour. We will discuss what you must do and if the money is worth it. We will also talk about the average monies paid to real roadies."
Is the global market headed for another shake-up? In this episode, we unpack the rising uncertainty in international trade and finance—from shifting geopolitical alliances to unexpected tariffs and policy pivots.

"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."
Tom Stingemore is one of the most knowledgeable minds in music sync licensing. He was President of Sync at Hipgnosis, the multi-billion dollar music catalog fund that owns thousands of No. 1 songs. Before that, he was SVP of Sync at BMG and Creative Director of Sync at Universal Music Group. In this episode, we link up in London to talk about Tom's new company, Alloy, and his mission to fix one of the biggest problems in sync: bad data. We break down what music sync is, how it works, what's broken in the current system, and how it can be improved. Whether you're a music supervisor, artist, producer, or just curious about how songs get placed in film, TV, ads, and games—this episode will give you a deep understanding of the sync world today and where it's going. We are On The Go — here's my conversation with Tom Stingemore. Special thanks to Dean St. Studios in London for having us!

"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."
Send us a message, so we know what you're thinking!Why do you like the music you do? Is it as simple as “It's what I heard on the radio”? Or something deeper? People with elder siblings may be exposed to music earlier than first children. Jeff had an older brother, so was exposed earlier to cool music - Beatles, Janis, Hendrix, and so on. Mick was the eldest in his family and had to find his own taste. (No surprise considering what he listens to!) Were you bullied as a child? Influence! Did you share music with your friends? Influence! Did you have access to a good radio station? Or print media? Influence!! We talk about our early influences – musical & otherwise – and look at how they played a role in what we listen to today. In Rock News, Ringo has released a country album, and Toto is touring. Oh well, shouldn't take them long to play their 3 hits. You know Jeff's obsessed with AI, so he asked three AI brands to nominate the greatest albums of 1971. Not much variation, really. One day, we may ask them to understand quality, rather than sales figures, and see what they give us. Our Album You Must Listen to Before you Die is “Blue” by Joni Mitchell - an top grade album that deserves to be here. Mick references Atlantic Records' sampler called “Very Together” which featured “Carey” from this album, and pointed out a link between Joni Mitchell and Scottish hard rock band, Nazareth. How did YOUR tastes develop? Drop us a line & let us know. Enjoy!

"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."
"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."
Send us a message, so we know what you're thinking!This episode, we look back at two hugely influential women artists – Patti Smith, whose 1975 “Horses” album inspired so many artists, and Marianne Faithfull, whose passing in January, 2025, is a huge loss. “Horses”, with its confrontational approach - “Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine” - changed the landscape of rock music for the next few decades. Produced by John Cale, of Velvet Underground fame, the album opened the door for so many women, including Blondie and so many English punk and new wave bands. We talk about why we like this album, its influential impact, and how Patti Smith developed over later years. Marianne Faithfull has long been one of our favourites, and we talked about “Broken English” in Season 3. (If you haven't heard that episode, here's the link.) Tributes have come from every corner of the industry, all saying one thing – Marianne was inspirational to everyone she worked with, from The Rolling Stones to Metallica to Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. Banging our own drum for a moment, we've just been named as one of the top Australian Music Podcasts by monitoring service, Feedspot, which compiles the most comprehensive list of Australian Music Podcasts on the web. Great subjects. Great episode. Enjoy.

"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."
"This is something we should keep a good eye on. In an effort to become a leading force in AI the government in the UK is strongly considering rewriting their copyright laws to allow all copyrighted material including music to be offered fully to all AI companies. I know it sounds fake but it is not."
"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."
In this episode we welcome not one but two guests and ask them to talk about their long-time friend and mentor Dave Marsh. Daniel Wolff and Danny Alexander co-edited 2023's Marsh anthology Kick Out the Jams: on the eve of his 75th birthday they reflect on his powerful writing, his impassioned politics and his career from Creem and Rolling Stone to the Rock & Roll (subsequently Rock & Rap) Confidential newsletter he launched in 1983. An audio clip of Dave being interviewed by Daniel for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame takes us back to the former's championing of his Detroit contemporaries the MC5 and the Stooges. Meanwhile pieces about Creem itself and about his friend and frequent biographical subject Bruce Springsteen prompt our guests' amused thoughts on Dave's trenchant opinions and general combativeness. A 1990 Vox piece about 'The Star-Spangled Banner' leads us to clips from a 1996 audio interview with one of Marsh's many Black music heroes: the sainted Curtis Mayfield. On the 60th anniversary of the Impressions' 'People Get Ready', we talk about the Chicago soul star's songs, politics, guitar-playing — and the sheer wisdom and serenity of the man. (News of the death of Mayfield's old friend and fellow Impression Jerry Butler only reached us the day after this episode was recorded.) After we've paid our respects to Jam drummer Rick Buckler, Jasper quotes from recently-added library interviews with Lil' Kim (1997) and Hipgnosis boss Merck Mercuriadis (2021). Many thanks to special guests Daniel Wolff and Danny Alexander. Kick Out the Jams: Jibes, Barbs, Tributes and Rallying Cries from 35 years of Music Writing by Dave Marsh is published by Simon & Schuster and available now from all good bookshops. Pieces discussed: Creem Reflects Detroit Rock 'n' Roll, Barry Kramer 1943–1981, Sour Creem, Bruce Springsteen: Shouldn't He Be Famous?, The Incredible Story of Iggy & the Stooges, 'The Star Spangled Banner', Curtis Mayfield audio, Rick Buckler, Lil' Kim and Merck Mercuriadis.
"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."
"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."
"If you use Spotify then you know it gives you a year end rundown of the songs you most listened to. It is called Spotify Wrapped and it is more than just a nice way of saying you are being tracked. It is a successful marketing ploy."
"January 1 was the 2025 Public Domain Day but it goes a bit further. It is not only those works of art that are from 1929. This year the Digital Millennium Act went into effect so other years came into the Public Domain. We will explain."
"The US will inaugurate a new president come January 20. We went back as far as we could to get audio and found who performed at each of the Inaugurations. Plus we play a game. Who did the president defeat in the vote and who was his Vice President. See how you do."
"This is our second show celebrating the anniversaries you'll hear about during 2025. Throughout the show we will have some predictions about music from websites and a few from the Rock School hosts."
"Welcome to 2025! Here is the first of two shows where we look at many of the big music anniversaries of the year ahead."
"Every year we take the last full week of the year and offer a tip of the hat and a raise of the glass to those in the music world who left us. Here are the names from 2024."
Send us a textWell, this is the last episode of Season 4, and once again, it's been a ball of fun (and music). 4 years and still going strong – bigger and better than ever! We look back at “Knockin' on Heaven's Door” and "Rock News", as well as some of our favourite episodes. We recall some of the albums we've listened to (before we die), some of the shows we've seen, some of the books we've bought and some of Mick's fluffs! We also talk about what we might do next year – more interviews, more covers, maybe a list or two. So much to look forward to!

"This is our second Christmas show of 2024. We asked AI to tell us the No 1 Christmas song and Christmas movie each year right up until this current year. Mariah Carey might show up."
"Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. We have a two part Christmas offering this year. We are counting down both the No 1 Christmas song and the No 1 Christmas movie for every year starting in 1950 through 2024."
"It had to happen. The Grammys have changed their ruling that music can only be made by humans. The Beatles changed their minds but this is no where near the first time The Grammys have had to accept machine and computer generated music. We have a timeline."
"This is one of the oddest topics we have done in a while. There are Guinness World Records in music. They are easy to find. However many of them are disputed as someone now believes he or she owns the record. It is fascinating."
"Here is a sampling of some important music events that happened on Thanksgiving Day. I think it would be the best day to have a concert. Everyone is off work."
"An album can go Gold, then Platinum, then multiplatinum and then Diamond for ten million in sales. However, there have been 13 albums that have gone Diamond twice, the Double Diamonds. Here they are."

"Usually when you hear about a musician being sued it comes from their label or a venue but seldom the fans. However it does happen. Here is a list of some of the more interesting suits over the years."
"I read an opinion that asked if this was the last year for Classic Rock. The Stones are still out there. Paul McCartney as well. But it seems this year has a lot of the genre retiring. We have a list for you."
"This is our 2024 Halloween show. I read an article explaining John Carpenters theme to Halloween and it got me interested in other famous horror movie themes. Here are all the facts I found."
"On September 13, Janes Addiction was performing in Boston when singer Perry Farrell showed and punched guitarist Dave Navarro. The band is now on a hiatus. However this is no where near the first time band members have fought on stage. We have a list for you."
"Two members of Journey have settled a lawsuit over money and are back out on tour. It seems one of them was spending too much. This is often a problem for a band. The money. We have some examples of poor management and some tips about how bands have handled their income."
"We are once again in a presidential election season and musicians are once again angry when Donald Trump uses their songs. I was asked to lecture on the laws of a candidate using a song at a rally so I thought I would do them for you here as well."
"In honor of Tammy and my 36th wedding anniversary this week, we are offering up a list of the shortest musician marriages on record. Those crazy kids."

"Choose the song you would like played at your funeral. I asked Tammy and she had an answer right away. You would think I did too but no. I had to really think about it. I came up with one to end the show."
