POPULARITY
"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."
"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."
The title of this week's DCOM, Camp Rock, is misleading, because while it does take place at a camp, the only rocking taking place is the rocking back and forth by harrowed students who can't face another day of impromptu unaccompanied singing, people drumming on every available surface, and hip hop dance classes taught by Joe Jonas. Apparently though, there are people who actually want to attend Camp Rock, on purpose, people like Mitchie Torres (Demi Lovato), who scores a coveted spot at the camp thanks to them hiring her mom's catering business. But when Mitchie lies about her background to impress some popular girls, she starts building a house of cards that could come crashing down, taking a Jonas Brother's feelings with it. Will Mitchie learn to be true to herself? Why did one of the Jonas Brothers allow himself to be characterised as a backwards idiot? And is "Brown Cesario" a real name? Listen and find out!

"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."
"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."
We recorded this one before our Christmas break and we hope you enjoy. Starting the new year off with a. banger. Good songs, good vibes, good LORD the eyebrows on Joe Jonas. Listen as Erriana fawns over a middle aged white man with an accent, and Melissa talks about how "not rich" Mitchie is. Mitchie... Rich-y... haha ok thx byeeeee
"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."
"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."
