Hawk Rock Talk: Rock Autopsy - Classic Rock One Hit Wonders, Volume 2Jason Gore and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock return to the classic rock morgue for another examination of the songs that radio refused to let die.But what exactly makes a classic rock one-hit wonder? A song does not necessarily have to dominate the Billboard charts. Sometimes one regional program director simply decides that “Never Been Any Reason” needs to play three times a week until the end of civilization.Jason and Geoff investigate the regional-radio mystery of Head East, the yodeling and whistling science behind Focus, and why every classic rock station needed songs long enough for the DJ to leave the studio and take a dump.They also uncover the interconnected musical universe of Jim Peterik, connecting The Ides of March's “Vehicle” to Survivor, 38 Special, Sammy Hagar and enough Sylvester Stallone montage music to power an entire training facility.Plus: Pete Townshend secretly joins Thunderclap Newman as Bijou Drains, Pilot's “Magic” is permanently converted into an Ozempic commercial, The Knack gives us Weird Al Yankovic, Sugarloaf demands that you stop calling them, Manfred Mann remains responsible for Bruce Springsteen's only number-one songwriting hit, and Free inspires the cheapest crematorium in Val Verde.Most importantly, the episode produces two future Hawk institutions: Morgenson's Crematorium and legendary afternoon radio personality Stanch McTuckens.Support 108.9 The HawkJoin the Patreon for bonus episodes, playlists and more Hawk Rock Talk:patreon.com/1089thehawkHawk Rock Summer is winding down, but Series Seven of 108.9 The Hawk begins Monday, August 17th.Tell your friends.

Hawk Rock Talk Classic: GenesisHawk Rock Summer continues on and this week we feature a Hawk Rock Talk Classic. Originally released October 21, 2022, it's Hawk Rock Talk: GENESIS!Jason Gore and Geoff “The Real Person” Garlock go deep into the long, strange and surprisingly emotional history of Geoff's favorite band: Genesis.And Genesis is not just one band. It is several completely different bands occupying the same school uniform.There is the strange British progressive-rock Genesis fronted by Peter Gabriel. There is the transitional version with Steve Hackett and Phil Collins. There is the three-man Genesis that filled arenas, dominated MTV and provided the soundtrack to Saturday mornings in the Gore household. Then there is Calling All Stations, which also technically happened.Jason and Geoff work through the albums, explain why recommending Genesis requires a psychological evaluation of the listener and attempt to determine how a band that once wrote “Supper's Ready” eventually became one of the biggest pop groups on Earth.Plus: Phil Collins reluctantly becomes the singer, Peter Gabriel dresses like a flower without warning anyone, Tony Banks remains the irritated backbone of the operation, “Illegal Alien” is launched into space and Jason accidentally begins climbing up on Salisbury Steak.Support 108.9 The HawkListen to more Hawk Rock Talk and every episode of 108.9 The Hawk at 1089thehawk.com.Support the station at patreon.com/1089thehawk.108.9 The Hawk Series Seven premieres on August 17th!

Hawk Rock Talk - Queen: Live At Wembley 40th AnniversaryQueen's legendary Live at Wembley Stadium concert turns 40, and Jason Gore is ready to celebrate one of the most important live albums of his life. Geoff Garlock also watched it, although he did occasionally fast-forward through Brian May's guitar solo and Queen's extended trip through the 1950s.Jason and Geoff look back at Queen's massive July 12, 1986 Wembley performance, the peak of the Magic Tour and one of the final concerts Queen ever played with Freddie Mercury. They discuss Jason discovering Queen through “Another One Bites the Dust,” Wayne's World and a mall record store employee named Rick; Freddie's iconic yellow military jacket; John Deacon's alarmingly short shorts; the mystery of Freddie Mercury's onstage package; the audience couple that apparently hugged for the entire concert; and Queen's unmatched ability to command a stadium.They also break down the explosive opening run of “One Vision” and “Tie Your Mother Down,” the return of “In the Lap of the Gods… Revisited,” Freddie's legendary crowd work, the “Radio Ga Ga” claps, the emotional power of “Love of My Life” and “Who Wants to Live Forever,” and the slightly strange decision to place “Friends Will Be Friends” between “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions.”Plus: Pantera reply guys, gas-station sunglasses, the UK kite festival, One Chicken, Status Quo somehow being the actual answer, the cheap-looking royal crown, and Geoff & Jason saying “nah.”Hawk Rock Summer continues next week with Rock Autopsy: Classic Rock One-Hit Wonders Part Two!Series Seven of 108.9 The Hawk premieres Monday, August 17th.Tell your friends about the show and support The Hawk at Patreon.com/1089TheHawk.

Hawk Rock Talk: Rock Autopsy: Classic Rock One Hit Wonders 1It's Hawk Rock Summer, and Jason Gore and Geoff Garlock are putting on the gloves, grabbing the bone saw, and cracking open the chest cavity of Classic Rock Radio to examine one of its strangest organs: the classic rock one-hit wonder.What even counts as a one-hit wonder in classic rock? Did it have to make the Top 40? Does it count if the song barely charted, but every classic rock station played it eight times a day? Does it count if the band had other hits, but your local station decided, “No thank you, we will only be playing the one with the riff”?Jason and Geoff dig into a playlist of “that song!” bands, the groups whose names you may not know, whose albums you may never have heard, but whose one immortal track has been following you around your whole life through movie trailers, sports arenas, local classic rock stations, beer commercials, jukeboxes, and dads' cars.Along the way, Jason and Geoff discuss Christian fuzz gospel death boogie, LA spirituality, Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe's Seinfeld cup, Mungo holes, proto-metal holes, Paul Carrick's voice, Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street legacy, Tarantino soundtrack brain, Leslie West making a Les Paul look tiny, Arthur Brown as a pre-KISS theatrical freak, Argent records that Geoff keeps buying and selling, KISS's “God Gave Rock and Roll to You II,” and whether Europe should legally be required to play “The Final Countdown” three times per set.This is Part One.

Hawk Rock Talk - The Horniest Classic Rock Songs of the 80's!Jason Gore and Geoff Garlock kick off Hawk Rock Summer with a deep, shameful, extremely denim-covered investigation into the horniest classic rock songs of the 1980s.From BulletBoys screaming “Smooth Up In Ya” before the song even starts, to Aerosmith loving it up when they're going down, Jason and Geoff ask the question rock historians have been too afraid to ask:Who was the horniest rock band of the 80s?Also discussed: Faith No More, Neil Young bootleg shirts, Genesis Blossoms, Tawny Kitaen, The Big Hairball, Tommy Lee on the 134, Jon Glaser's My Dead Dad Was in ZZ Top, and why so many of these songs should maybe be turned off when your kid is in the car.Celebrate Hawk Rock Summer all summer long on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and more! 108.9 The Hawk: Series Seven begins on 8/17/26!

Join DJ Paulie and his brother Lou—The Back in Time Brothers—as heard on URL radio for a wild trip back to the 70s. We're diving deep into the High School Hits of the 70s, the tracks that became the soundtrack to growing up in the decade of lava lamps and Letterman jackets. Lace up your sneakers and crank the volume as we revisit the rock anthems that blasted out of Trans Ams, including Ted Nugent's guitar-fueled "Strangle Hold", Deep Purple's "Highway Star" (a badge of cool for teens who loved cars and guitars), and Head East's "Never Been Any Reason," often nicknamed the rock and roll national anthem.We've got the full rock spectrum, from the raw blues-driven rocker "Tush" by ZZ Top, to the ultimate cruising music, Fog Hat's "Slow Ride", all the way up to Edgar Winter Group's feel-good classic, "Free Ride". And when the lights dimmed at the gym? We've got the ultimate teenage heartbreak ballad, Nazareth's "Love Hurts," which filled high school proms.But we're more than just classic rock! The Back in Time Brothers bring the laughs with their infamous segments:Rock Talk: 70s Fads: Expert Todd Snyder deep-dives into the wonderfully weird world of 70s culture. We explore everything from the infamous Pet Rock (which sold over 1.5 million units for $3.95 a piece), to the mystical and pseudoscientific mood ring, and the bizarre cultural juggernaut of streaking (a competitive sport on college campuses). We'll also look at how Happy Days gave us the phrase “jump the shark” when The Fonz water-skied over one!Stupid Criminals: Tune in for a weekly lineup of losers, dimwitted schemes, and laughable mistakes. Hear about the woman busted for dressing in a hot dog costume and covering her neighbor's car in toilet paper, or the man who decided to sell marijuana to raise money to afford police academy.Random Facts: Lou and Paul share bizarre scientific and animal tidbits, like how one teaspoon of neutron star material would weigh billions of tons and why a bearcat smells like hot buttered popcorn!Bad Dates: Listen to real-life dating disasters, including a guy who threw the ends of French fries on the floor, another who immediately called his blind date "average looking", and a disastrous encounter involving a Bills-themed man cave and a perplexing "mommy kink".So, slip on those bell bottoms, adjust the leisure suit lapels, and get ready to be taken on a free ride. The Back in Time Brothers are bringing the sound and the laughs!Support the showThanks for listening. Join us each Monday at 1pm Central at www.urlradio.net and follow us on Facebook!
