What happens when two world-class musicians decide to take full creative control and make the music they've always envisioned? In this episode of Caught on the Mike, host Mike welcomes Jimmy McGorman and Robb Vallier — the duo behind Flight To London — to talk about their debut album, Instructions for Losing Control. After years of writing and producing for artists like Goo Goo Dolls, Avril Lavigne, Gin Blossoms, and Sabrina Carpenter, McGorman and Vallier reunite to create something that's entirely their own: a lush, synth-driven exploration they call “NEW-stalgia.” They dive into the inspirations behind the project, the beauty of creative freedom, and how frustration became the spark for their most personal music yet. From vintage analog warmth to digital precision — this conversation captures the sound, soul, and story of Flight To London.

„Kiek mol hier. Kannst mi dat mol vörleesen? Dat is to lütt för mi.“ Jo, fröher, as Schooljung, bün ick dat oftmols vun Öllere froogt worrn. No de Schooltied hett man mi dat jümmers noch froogt. Dat gung so, bet ick bummeli 25 weer. Dor hett dat denn ni mehr lang duuert, un ick kreeg sülms mien erste Brill op de Nees. To Anfang heff ick de blots af un to opsett. Wegen de Eitelkeit un so. As ick overs 30 Johr tofot‘ harr, kunn ick mi dat ni mehr würkli utsööken: Wenn ick wat sehn wull, gung dat blots noch mit mien Spekuleeriesen. De Johrn trocken dorhen un de Brill'nglöös wurrn dicker. Dat weer al lang ni mehr nied för mi. Overs denn mitmol, tehmli genau vör een Johr wurr wat anners. Ick kann mi good op den Oogenblik besinn‘. Mit eenmol weer mi so, as wurr ick mit een Oog dör Nebel kieken. Ick heff mien Brill putzt un mi de Oogen schüüert. Overs de Nebel wull ni wechgohn. Annerlei, dat leggt sick bestimmt, heff ick dacht. Deh dat overs ni, un ick fung an mi Gedanken to moken. Op't Letzt‘ bün ick no'n Oogenarzt loopen. Und dor wurr mi seggt: „Tscha, Herr Kroll, se hebbt 'n Graun Star. Un twor op beide Oogen.“ Richti flau in Moog‘ wurr mi, as de Dokter mi vertellt hett, dat mien Oogen nu opereert warrn schulln. Mit'n Skalpell in de Oogen rümstochern. Dat hett mi jüst noch fehlt. Oh wat gung mi de Stift. Intwüschen sünd de beiden OPs al 'n poor Weeken her. Un wat schall ick seggen: Mitmol kann ick weller so scheun kieken as dormols in de Schooltied. An un för sick sogor noch 'n lütt‘ Stück beter. Ick kann ick mi jeden Dag vun vörn doröver wunnern, wat de Medizin allns trech kriegt. Un mien Brill bruuk ick nu ni mehr, weil ick so scheun kieken kann. Overs ick heff mi Finsterglöös in mien oled Gestell setten loten wegen de Eitelkeit, also weil man mi je gor ni mehr ohne Brill kinnt. Un ick freu mi al meist dorop, wenn mi een froogt: „Kannst mi dat vörleesen? Dat is to lütt för mi.“ Jo, wat dat Kieken angeiht, heff ick nu echt den Dörblick… In düssen Sinn
"The number changes, but as of the writing of this description, only 1883 songs have topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart including all its earlier versions.

"Cryptozoology is the study of a creature that probably doesn ot exist. Think Bigfoot. What is great about it is that every state seems to have its own monster. Maybe people really do think it exists or maybe it was invented to scare children at Halloween. We built up a list along with songs about candy. It is Halloween 2025."
"Many music outlets noticed there was no traditional Summer Song this year. No poppy dance tune that rose to the top of the charts. The Billboard Summer Song chart claimed a number one but it was a down tempo ballad. We will explore what happened and why."

It is a badge of honor for bands to sell out quickly. Other than EXO, who did legitimately sell out the fastest. We will tell you our pick."

Doug McKechnie is an unsung pioneer of electronic music, a visionary who traversed the fringes of sound and consciousness at a time when technology, art, and radical thought were colliding to reshape culture. Emerging from the explosive counterculture scene of San Francisco in the late 1960s, Doug was one of the first musicians to experiment extensively, and the very first to play live, with the Moog synthesiser, using it not merely as an instrument but as a portal into new dimensions of experience. "I wasn't interested in playing melodies. I wanted to find out what electricity sounded like when it told the truth.” He didn't just make music—he made experiences. He played marathon sets in warehouses, at acid-fueled happenings, art galleries, planetariums, and with The Grateful Dead. His performances were long-form, trance-like explorations of voltage, feedback, and consciousness—music as transformation. “Those shows weren't performances. They were portals” His music lay largely hidden for decades until re-released by VG+Records Doug's Music: The Complete San Francisco Moog: 1968-72 San Francisco Moog: 1968-72 Vol. 2 With Thanks to Lee Gardner at VG+ #DougMcKechnie #BureauOfLostCulture #lighshows #sanfrancisco #thegratefuldead #frankoppenheimer #goldengatebridge #ElectronicMusicHistory #ModularSynths #MoogMusic #Psychedelic60s #VintageSynthesizers #UndergroundSounds #modularFrequencies #alanwatts
"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."

"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."

Today on another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to musician Jon Klages, grandson of musician and Hi-Fi proponent and record label owner Enoch Light. Our conversation with Jon began with understanding just who his grandfather was. A classically trained musician, Enoch founded his first group, Enoch Light & His Orchestra & later Enoch Light and the Light Brigade before World War II. Wildly popular in upper class New York society, Light went on to found one of the most unique independent record labels, well, ever. Vinyl collectors today will know Light's Command Records & Project 3 firstly for its unique, minimalist artwork from renowned artist Josel Albers. From classical to pop to Space Age Bachelor Pop to popular soundtrack hits and more, Light was nothing if not proficient. From albums like Persuasive Percussion to The Private Life of a Private Eye, Lights albums were visually stunning first and foremost. But take a listen to any of his albums from composers as varied as Doc Severinson, Dick Hyman, Tommy Mottola & the landmark album from The Free Design, the albums were recorded for the best audio fidelity available. The albums sound terrific. We discuss this with Jon & loved hearing about how his own mother played a role in all these recordings too. If you love the Moog, horns, Bossa Nova and more mid-sixties exotica, you must find these albums for your collection. We also talk to Jon about his experiences in the studio with his grandfather as well as his own recordings. Part of the fabled Hoboken indie scene of the 1980s, Jon release a new album in 2021, Fabulous Twilight and has a new album coming in 2025 as well. We discuss how Jon became a singer/songwriter, how his passion for being around music led to a career in it and much more. Plus, we hear much about Jon's father, a seven-time Emmy winner for lighting design who worked with everyone from Muhammad Ali to Ernie Kovacs. This is one episode you do not want to miss and it's happening right now. Take a listen to the Rarified Heir Podcast with Jon Klages, right now.
