It’s my birthday show!!! Yes, September 11 is a terrible day to celebrate a birthday, but one can’t help when they were born. But what better way to kick off a birthday show with a brand new cover of “Teenage Kicks”. Oh, yes, I was so excited when Malibu Lou sent me the file straight off the Rum Bar presses. I’ll never tire of this song, especially when artists such as Christina Jean & Her All Stars create such a wonderfully uplifting version! Of course, that’s not the only Rum Bar Records treat, as I also air brand new songs from the legendary Cindy Lawson, The Laissez Fairs, and The Vibeke Saugestad Band. And, yes, I consider Geoff Palmer and Kurt Baker part of the Rum Bar family, even if their new tracks aren’t technically on the label Plus, “Teenage Kicks” is not the only cover on tonight’s show. There’s not one, but two Paul Westerberg remakes. One if from Mickey Dolenz of The Monkees, and then there’s a track by Weird Nightmare from a new Sub Pop compilation called Maximum MN. (Sweeping Promises’ cover of Husker Du is also from that comp.) There’s also new reworking from Die Toten […]

Happy Regular Guy Friday! We fooled them again and somehow made it through another week! We talk about one of the simplest lessons that isn't always so simple: just show up. When someone you love is sick, struggling, or needs you, you don't need to have all the answers, just be there,  ask questions, make mistakes, and figure it out. We talk about why rage can be purifying and why maybe anger isn't always something to suppress. Rage can burn through fear, guilt, and helplessness and become the fire alarm telling you something needs to change. The trick is hearing what it's trying to tell you without burning down the building. Although apparently, for $32.99, you can just go somewhere and legally smash all kinds of stuff. We talk Micky Dolenz and The Monkees, rage rooms, martyrs getting nailed to crosses, Home Depot Halloween displays, spray-painting window panes, and Kev's latest billion-dollar idea: one lawn decoration that somehow becomes Santa, the Easter Bunny, a leprechaun, and a Halloween skeleton at the push of a button. Show up for the people who matter, listen to what your emotions are trying to tell you, and remember why we're here: help each other, learn from our mistakes, and have a few laughs along the way. Happy Friday. We'll Talk Shawtly!

This is the 60th anniversary of the broadcast airing of The Monkees TV series. These are select tracks displaying the musical progression the band made from radio-friendly pop songs to something more advance and experimental with adult appeal.

Here they come!  Who would have thought 60 years ago that a band put together for a TV show would still continue to impact pop culture? We do, that's who!  In this episode, Jeff Harris (Behind The Grooves) and me delve into the lore and legend of The Monkees, tackling the origins, the TV show and their first four classic albums. We had fun poring over the songs, the visuals, and the madness that comprised what was then cynically referred to as "The Pre-Fab Four." Listen to this podcast and you'll...be a believer!

A made for TV band that somehow becomes a hit machine. We dig into The Monkees as pop culture history, from the 1966 premiere and the cast chemistry to the uncomfortable truth that the first records were tightly controlled. Then we get specific about the music: why “Last Train to Clarksville” and “I'm a Believer” dominated the charts, why “I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone” earns respect.The conversation takes a hard left into one of our favorite kinds of mysteries: the Monkeymobile. Customized Pontiac GTO convertibles become moving brand symbols, then the story gets truly strange as the car tours, changes hands, and surfaces in unexpected places. If you love music trivia, classic television, and the behind-the-scenes mechanics of fame, this is the kind of narrative that makes you want a full investigative spinoff.We also hit a stack of high-voltage side roads: a firsthand 2016 AC/DC concert recap with Axl Rose filling in for Brian Johnson, a quick laugh over minimalist lyrics that inspire a parody song, and a heartfelt reflection on Dolly Parton, publishing rights, and how “I Will Always Love You” became bigger than anyone could predict. “Minute with Jimmy” brings it back to fundamentals with Chuck Berry's “Roll Over Beethoven,” and we close with a rapid-fire Billboard time capsule across decades.

"The Monkees" is a sitcom that premiered on NBC in 1966, following the misadventures of a struggling four-piece rock band as they chase fame but somehow stumble into chaos wherever they go. Starring Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork, the series blended slapstick comedy and music videos years before MTV existed. Inspired by the success of A Hard Day's Night, the show quickly became one of the most energetic and inventive sitcoms of the 1960s. Although initially dismissed by some critics as a manufactured attempt to cash in on Beatlemania, "The Monkees" became a cultural phenomenon and helped launch the group into genuine music superstardom. The show's groundbreaking visual style earned it a devoted fanbase that continues to discover it decades later. Will the S1E1 boys go bananas for this musical sitcom classic, or should this TV band have stayed in the garage? Listen as they deep dive the show's pilot episode, "Royal Flush," and find out.

This episode features hosts Britt Lightning and Tommy London with founder David Fishof, welcoming the internet's latest rock sensation, John Torra. The group dives into John's recent viral explosion after his powerhouse vocal covers of Quiet Riot's “Metal Health” and “Come on Feel the Noize” took the metal world by storm. John shares the story behind the videos, his recent audition for Skid Row, and the surreal experience of receiving calls from rock legends and industry icons like Mark Weiss and Jeff Scott Soto. The conversation explores John's journey through the Rock and Roll Fantasy Camps, highlighting his "best-kept secret" status and his recent impromptu stage appearance with Dokken. David Fishof provides invaluable industry mentorship, sharing cautionary tales from his time managing The Monkees to emphasize the importance of legal protection, the necessity of a great publicist, and why every aspiring artist needs to read the "Don Passman book." The group also discusses the current "80s revival" scene in Brooklyn and Los Angeles, speculating on John's potential future with legacy bands like Aerosmith or Mötley Crüe. John breaks down his self-taught vocal techniques and the importance of studying isolated tracks to capture the nuances of his heroes. The episode wraps up with a look at John's band, Fire N Ice, their upcoming residency at the Whisky a Go Go, and a special preview of their track “High Roller.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Few musicians have influenced popular music as profoundly as Louie Shelton, yet millions of people know his guitar long before they know his name. In this episode of A Breath of Fresh Air, Louie opens the studio door on one of the greatest periods in recording history.Growing up in Arkansas, Louie discovered the guitar as a young boy, met Elvis Presley while still at junior high school and later became friends with fellow Arkansan Glen Campbell before heading west to Los Angeles with one ambition—to become a top session guitarist. He explains why becoming a studio musician was the ultimate dream and how years of relentless work finally earned him a place among the legendary Wrecking Crew. Louie reveals how one inspired guitar hook changed everything. Asked to come up with something memorable for a new television project called The Monkees, he created the famous opening riff to Last Train to Clarksville, launching a career that would see producers across Los Angeles competing for his talents. He shares extraordinary stories from sessions with The Jackson 5, Motown, Boz Scaggs, Neil Diamond, The Carpenters, Lionel Richie, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson and dozens more, explaining how many classic recordings were built before the artists even stepped into the studio. You'll hear what made the Motown rhythm section so unique, why Michael Jackson immediately stood out as an 11-year-old vocalist and how session musicians created some of the most recognisable guitar parts in music history. Louie also reflects on working with Elvis Presley, Karen Carpenter, Tiny Tim and countless stars whose careers he watched unfold, while offering thoughtful observations on fame, celebrity and why so many legendary artists struggled with the pressures that accompanied enormous success. The conversation also explores Louie's transition from session guitarist to acclaimed producer, producing Seals & Crofts' Summer Breeze and Diamond Girl, launching England Dan & John Ford Coley, and producing Art Garfunkel's platinum-selling Fate For Breakfast. Finally, Louie reflects on why he believes the music of the '60s and 70s continues to resonate with audiences around the world and explains why, despite an extraordinary career spanning more than six decades, he still picks up the guitar every day. This is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the true architects of popular music—a man whose guitar playing became part of the soundtrack of generations.

Gilbert and Frank attend the 2015 Chiller Convention, where they manage to snag a rare interview with musician, songwriter and producer Michael Nesmith. In this episode, Nesmith looks back on everything from his mom's invention of Liquid Paper to his original “Monkees” screen test in October of '65. Also, Michael talks politics with John Lennon, pens a hit for Linda Ronstadt and remembers (sort of) Lon Chaney Jr. PLUS: Dennis Hopper! Tony Franciosa! The Monkees “sell out”!

This is Part 5 of my deep dive into David McGowan's Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & the Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream.In this episode, the question shifts from who was in Laurel Canyon to who was actually making the sound.The mythology of 1960s rock usually gets told as a magical accident: young people picked up guitars, rejected the world of their parents, and created the soundtrack for a cultural revolution.But once you start looking at the machinery behind the music, the story gets a lot more complicated.This part gets into The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, and The Monkees. The Byrds helped define the sound of folk rock. Buffalo Springfield gave the era one of its most famous protest songs. And The Monkees were openly manufactured for television, which strangely makes them one of the most honest parts of the whole story.Because if The Monkees were the fake band, what does that say about the “real” ones?This episode is not about saying the music was bad, meaningless, or secretly fake in every way. A lot of it was great. The songs mattered. People heard them and genuinely felt something.But the music industry did not just document the counterculture.It shaped it.It packaged rebellion, edited authenticity, and helped decide which version of the 1960s would be sold back to the public.This episode covers:The MonkeesThe ByrdsBuffalo SpringfieldRoger McGuinnStephen StillsFolk rockThe Sunset StripManufactured bandsStudio musiciansProtest songsThe music industryLaurel CanyonDavid McGowan's Weird Scenes Inside the CanyonWebsite: https://idiotmystic.comBlog: https://idiotmystic.com/blogDiscord: https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmMInstagram: https://instagram.com/idiotmysticTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@idiotmystic

Irish Times Writer Patrick Freyne has written his first novel, ‘Experts In A Dying Field'. He talks to Brendan about identifying as a yuppie in his youth, his years playing in bands, work burnout, obsoletion in middle age and why having children isn't the be-all-and-end-all. He charts his life through five songs from The Monkees to Pixies and more.

Welcome back to Very Clinical for "Rock and Roll, Part 3"—the latest installment of our ongoing, completely dentistry-free detour into the music that shaped our lives. In this episode, Zach, Kevin (aka: K-Rock), and Alan shift the spotlight away from the frontmen and look at the "corporate" machinery and unsung geniuses behind the greatest eras of pop and rock. We dive deep into the legendary collective of freelance studio masters in LA known as The Wrecking Crew and Detroit's incredibly prolific hit-makers, The Funk Brothers, revealing how some of the most definitive tracks of the 60s and 70s were actually built by daily session workers. From the carefully manufactured magic of "Corporate Rock" and the television-born crossover of The Monkees to the fine line between artistic theft and genuine innovation, we examine how the music industry built its most profitable formulas—and how those formulas repeatedly triggered counter-cultural rebellions like punk and grunge.

Sixty years ago, The Monkees debuted as a TV show about a band, quickly grew into a real band, were wildly successful for just a few years, then faded away. Forty years ago, reruns on MTV inspired a new generation of Monkeemania, and so Micky, Davy, and Peter hit the road for the big 1986 Monkees reunion tour. Kevin saw them on that tour, and our guest this week did too! We're joined by Elaine, co-host of the fine podcast Monkeeing Around, which you'll find right here on the ESO Network. And our conversation includes: A breakdown of the whole Monkees set list (including their 80s hit "That Was Then, This Is Now"), the opening bands (a 60s nostalgia lineup of Herman's Hermits, Gary Puckett, and the Grass Roots), attending the show on a broken foot, getting lost in the parking lot, Micky's 80s synth drums, Davy's 80s mullet... and through it all, the nonstop screaming girls. Join us as we take the last train back to 1986, when the silly TV band from the 60s suddenly had the hottest tour of the summer. Alas, Mike Nesmith wasn't there, but we were. #monkees #monkeeingaround #mickydolenz #davyjones #petertork #hermanshermits #garypuckett #grassroots #esonetwork #eso #geektalk #geekpodcast #geek #nerdtalk #nerd #nerdpodcast #podcast #flopcast Check out Elaine's Monkees podcast, Monkeeing Around!

Buddies! I'm back with another interview on Vinyl Community Podcasts, this time speaking with Richard Foos—the influential founder behind Rhino Entertainment and co-founder of Shout! Studios. Sometimes referred to as the "Godfather of Modern Reissues", the work from Richard's companies has been instrumental in the current "golden age" of vinyl, and have inspired reissue labels we know and love like Light in the Attic (LITA), Sundazed Music, and the folks in Salina, KS at Analogue Productions.  In this reflective interview, Foos shares the incredible journey from opening the original Rhino Records store in Westwood, Los Angeles in 1973 to building one of the most influential reissue labels in music history. From preserving lost music and comedy albums to pioneering deluxe box sets, archival releases, and collector culture, Richard Foos helped shape how generations of music fans experience physical media. With Rhino, he set a standard for quality and bonus essays, lost tracks, features, etc. that music fans have enjoyed for decades.  Topics include: The origins of his connection to music The early days of Rhino Records, the record store Building the reissue label and store through a couple "happy accidents" Legendary Rhino projects involving The Monkees, Ramones, James Brown and MORE! What goes into curating a reissue choice? from licensing to consumer desire to personal preferences Launching Shout! Factory and expanding into film and television preservation Why curation, community, and storytelling still matter What does he think of the "vinyl resurgence" of the past two decades? Moving away from the boardroom and into philanthropic projects like The Narrative Method and Volunteer Collective Did Dave Grohl "license" his name to when naming the Foo Fighters?   This conversation is essential listening for vinyl collectors, music historians, physical media enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the business and culture behind record collecting.   Often imitated, never duplicated, please join us for another fine interview courtesy of Vinyl Community Podcasts!  

Recycling is good, kids. Sometimes that even applies to song titles, as we look at pairs of tunes that share a title. Totally random example: "The Promise" is a fantastic song by both The Numbers and When In Rome. OK, we can't get anything past you. That wasn't random, because our Third Lads this week just so happen to be Terry & Larry Tutor from the aforementioned Numbers. L.A.-by-way-of-Texas band The Numbers cut some absolutely crucial singles between 1963 and 1967, as well as a couple of highly sought after albums. They were truly ahead of their time, crossing paths with The Who (whom they sued to , The Easybeats, Billy Gibbons, and the Grateful Dead. They were originally shoo-ins to be cast as The Monkees. Although they didn't get their due in their time, their influence on legions of power pop bands that followed is immeasurable. That is, of course, if you were to believe the extraordinarily detailed, myth-building liner notes and discography on the back of The Numbers' album Anthology '64-'67 , released on Bomp! subsidiary label Voxx Records in 1983. Truth is, the band, led by twin brothers Terry & Larry were barely old enough to remember the '60s. Yet, proudly wearing their influences on their paisley sleeves, they created one of the best, most collectible releases of the era (that part's true). Anthology is prime 1983 mod/power pop - brilliantly crafted, melodically rich, and harmonically deep pop music. Although the Tutors would only release one Numbers album in the '80s, they would morph into the "electrified Americana" of The Bordersnakes. Fast forward to 2025 (prompted by a rediscovery by YouTuber Matthew Street), The Numbers released their first new album under that moniker in more than 42 years, Mad Day Out (Bomp! Records). It finds the band with all of their strengths firmly intact, a chiming, harmony-filled blend of joyous folk rock and power pop. The guys say that this is the most fun they've ever had on a podcast...and who are we to argue with that? Plus, for those of who are into O3L games, we've got TWO for you this episode: "O3L by the Numbers", a Price Is Right-style trivia game; and "Twintuition", in which our twin guests reveal how much they know about each other.

Written by Jack Nicholson & Monkees co-creator Bob Rafelson (who also directs), HEAD is a biting satire of pop-culture, Hollywood "magic", show-business, America and The Monkees themselves.
