Hey, it's the first episode of the Planet LP Podcast for 2026! Host Ted Asregadoo kicks off the new year by looking back at the memorable music-related experiences from 2025 with special guest Jeff Giles, co-host of The Record Player Podcast and author of Jefitoblog. While best-of lists may feel less relevant in today's era of personalized music consumption, Ted and Jeff take a different approach—reflecting on the moments, albums, books, concerts, and documentaries that made 2025 memorable for them personally. Jeff shares an update on his work-in-progress novel, "Largo's Dream," inspired by the 1998 album, Largo, produced by Rick Chertoff and Rob Hyman, which drew inspiration from Dvořák's New World Symphony. Ted dives into his reading highlights, particularly Eric M. Shade's "It's All Over the Place: The Rise of the Bangles from the LA Underground," a detailed chronicle that gave him newfound respect for the band's musicianship and their struggles navigating the music industry's challenges. The guys also talk about that nine-part documentary about The Beatles on Disney+ -- which gets mixed reviews, but was still memorable. The episode also covers Ted's impressive concert year, including the all-day Cruel World festival in Pasadena featuring Midge Ure, a 'Til Tuesday reunion, DEVO, The Go-Go's, She Wants Revenge, Garbage, New Order, and a standout performance from Nation of Language. Ted also recounts seeing Wolf Alice at the Fox Theater in Oakland—a show that turned him into an even bigger fan—and experiencing Belly perform their album "King" in its entirety at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. Plus, he shares his thoughts on the prolific and experimental Steven Wilson, whom he saw live at The Masonic Theater in San Francisco. Jeff reflects on Ted's dedication to Rush, noting the $300+ tickets Ted purchased to see them in LA and San Jose—a level of commitment that Jeff admits he can't match, even for his own favorites, such as The Doobie Brothers and Billy Joel. Join Ted and Jeff for an engaging conversation about what made 2025 a memorable year for them. Maybe it'll get you to reflect on your own music experiences, too.
