"Every list of the best bands contains the same bands in the top 20 so I made a new list. I looked at several best band lists and eliminated those top 20 bands. My list gets rid of the obvious choices and gives many lesser known bands a chance. See what you think."

"Tammy and I have decided to retire from our jobs and also from creating the Rock School Radio show. I know this is the 744th show on PRX but it's actually our 997th show overall. We will do this show and three more, ending on our 1000th show. To that end, in this show we will announce some musicians who might be retiring soon themselves. We will list the oldest people touring this summer."

A mid-summer Vision Cast packed with a brand-new radio-network launch, more ChatGPT-built audio tools, and a full evening of live acoustic performances that turn into an actual talent-scouting moment. Hosted by Salvis with Rita from Arizona on the mic, and Donald, Veronica, and George holding down the panel. JC sends in pre-recorded audio from vacation and Preston drops in mid-show after another call.Salvis opens with a wry admission that he tried to watch Samsung's Unpacked event that morning and "fell asleep" on it. Rita catches everyone up on the excessive heat warning rolling across the country, and the Texas contingent commiserates on trying to stay cool.Donald then walks the crew through two brand-new screen-reader-friendly 64-bit Windows executables he coded with ChatGPT, building on last week's MP3 DJ story. First is a Wave and MP3 Recorder that captures anything playing on the computer (Spotify, YouTube, streams) at 128 to 320 kbps MP3 or up to 96 kbps WAV and can split songs into separate files. Second is an MP3 Radio Builder that points at a folder of tracks and auto-generates a 1 to 24-hour continuous mix with cross-fades, volume normalization, and jingle injection, ideal for EDM sets, internet radio stations, and DJ playlists.Salvis plays a pre-recorded promo from Preston officially announcing the launch of KSRN, the Crazy Stacey Radio Network. Listeners can tune in 24/7 via Live365 crazystacey25.net. The launch programming block includes Vision Cast, Radio Connection Live on Monday eveningsv at 7 PM Eastern , Music Mayhem with George and Stacey, DJ Cool, and a dedicated Christmas music block for the year-round holiday fans.The Summer Song and Dance Festival keeps rolling with Part 3. JC pre-records a warm birthday medley combining "Happy Birthday to You" and "Feliz Cumpleaños" wrapped in a cheering-crowd effect. Salvis then debuts a full pop-synth song he built in Suno AI called "Shower in the Dark," his direct callback to Veronica's instant-classic bit from last week's show. Veronica takes the virtual stage for a run of live acoustic covers on her guitar (strings a little out of tune from the humidity): Alison Krauss's "When You Say Nothing at All," Patsy Cline's "Walking After Midnight," The Judds' "Mama He's Crazy," Bill Haley's "Rock Around the Clock," and Carole King's "You've Got a Friend." Salvis is so blown away he asks straight up whether Veronica is secretly a famous singer performing under a stage name that the crew just does not know about. Veronica laughs and says "at least not yet." Preston then jumps in with the branding pitch of the night: her first studio album should be called "Songs with a Guitar Pick." Music producers listening in, the crew is telling you outright, we have a talent here.George rounds out the music segment with two of his own pre-produced tracks, including a heavy blues-rock cut titled "Faith" aimed at "people who say they have love for you but they don't." Later, during shout-outs, George pays tribute to his beautiful colleagues Willow, Stacey, and Angela, with a special anniversary note for Stacey timed to when the episode airs.After joining live, Preston walks the crew through the accessibility pages he manages, including his own Tech Nonprofit ZAPS Tech. He shares a big-week update: he got a call from Dan Jublonsky at Transit for All PA, the statewide grassroots organization pushing for more accessible transit. Preston recaps last year's Harrisburg rally, meeting the transit-agency CEO, and the video of that meeting getting a fresh push on social media. He also tracks a Baltimore-area radio-ownership story with a big station sale coming and another K-Love signing on locally. Salvis closes the show with the "Keep technology alive, let your talent shine" line, and Preston caps the entire episode with the legendary tag: "Doodles spilled the milk, but we still clean it up."Keep technology alive, let your talent shine.Recorded 2026-07-22. Hosted by Salvis

"For an experiment, I denoted the last ten generations and attempted to define the song of their generation. Some were easy and some quite difficult. I offer five possibilities first and then pick. See if I made the correct choice."

A mid-July Vision Cast loaded with accessible-tech wins, live-on-Zoom family updates, and a second helping of the Summer Song and Dance Festival. Hosted by Salvis with Donald, George, Preston, Phil, and Veronica on the panel - plus pre-recorded drop-ins from JC (calling in from Puerto Rico) and Stacey James with a high-energy launch promo for her brand-new Crazy Stacey Radio Network. The centerpiece of the night is Donald's blind-coder AI breakthrough: he walks the crew through his journey using ChatGPT to write actual C# code for the Microsoft .NET 8 framework, building his own custom audio recorder and a fully working MP3 player he's calling "MP3 DJ." It's a live case study for the "AI is finally lowering the barrier for non-programmer blind creators" trend - landing the same week the industry is buzzing over the Suno AI source-code leak that pulls back the curtain on how much AI music is trained on scraped YouTube audio.The Summer Song and Dance Festival keeps rolling with pre-submitted covers from the crew: JC on "America the Beautiful" and The Rolling Stones' "I Can't Get No Satisfaction," Rita's fan-favorite "Como La Flor" and "La Bamba," Veronica delivering James Taylor's "Fire and Rain," and Preston closing it out with Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar."The instant-classic bit of the night is "Shower in the Dark." Veronica sets it up telling the story of a sighted friend who lost power and immediately worried about how she'd shower. Veronica's dry reply - "I don't have to see to take a shower" - sends the crew into fits, and Salvis coins the phrase "Shower in the Dark. That sounds like a great song or even story," calling it back later alongside the running pizza-on-a-black-Waymo joke.Phil is back on the panel after fighting a 4th of July flu and previews Sunday's grand final of the FIFA World Cup 2026 - Spain vs. Argentina - the biggest match of the summer as the tournament wraps up its US/Mexico/Canada hosting run. George brings the crackle in JC's absence, catching up with the crew about the wild-swinging summer weather, quality time with his girlfriend, a shout-out to his Portland friend Taylor, ongoing Mac and screen-reader compatibility challenges facing blind creators in 2026, and yes, a busted toenail on the way into the show. He also relays a family update on Phil's behalf: Phil's mother is home from the hospital after a bout of pneumonia and the crew keeps her in their prayers.Preston rounds it out with a new patio bistro set, a booked DJ gig at a local crab and karaoke bar, his transit-advocacy video for the CTAA hitting Facebook and Instagram, plus plans to catch the new Twisters movie. JC's pre-recorded tropical postcard from Puerto Rico teases coquí, salsa, and street food stories in a future episode, and Stacey's high-energy audio drop announces the launch of her brand-new independent Crazy Stacey Radio Network. Warm shout-outs to Phil's mom recovering, baby Noah still home safe post-NICU, and a nod to Katie's birthday callback from the previous week close the show.Keep technology alive, let your talent shine.Recorded 2026-07-15. Hosted by Salvis on the VisionCast Network.Final note:Bear is a tentative schedule for crazy Stacy‘s new radio edition now posted on the vision cast email list.

This is the second in a series of episodes counting down WLRN's top 100 songs as voted by listeners for the summer of 2026. Thanks to Cat Bradfield for hosting the show!

"I was talking about the Paul is Dead conspiracy theory in class one day and the students began asking me if I knew about THIS theory. And then THIS theory. We went on for 30 minutes and then I did some research. There were so many theories I had never heard of. Hopefully they are new to you as well. We have a long list."

Vision Cast kicks off the Summer Song and Dance Festival with live vocal performances, original music, and one of the sweetest family updates of the year. Co-hosted by Salvis and Rita with JC, Donald, Katie, and Stacey James on the panel — plus a pre-recorded drop-in from Preston who joins the show later on. The night opens with a soulful R&B-style birthday serenade for Katie, setting the celebration tone for the rest of the show. Rita then takes the virtual stage with beautiful, impromptu live renditions of Selena Quintanilla's "Como La Flor" and the timeless "La Bamba" — a heartfelt tribute landing the same week the Latin music world is buzzing over A.B. Quintanilla's response to the Ángela Aguilar Como La Flor cover controversy. Stacey debuts three original instrumental pieces she made in Suno AI — the sun-soaked "Tropical Sun," the mellow "Sun on the Cedar," and a first sneak peek of her upcoming LGBTQ+ music project "Rainbow Love." It's a perfect fit for the post-Pride July Accountability moment and part of Suno's massive 2026 wave (2 million paid subscribers and the brand-new Soccer Anthem generator released just this week). Then comes the biggest news of the night: Stacey shares that baby Noah has officially graduated from the NICU and is home with the family, perfectly timed with this week's viral #NICUGraduate wave celebrating NICU staff and grad babies across the country. Donald is bringing the holiday cheer to summer with a preview of his feature-length Christmas in July music specials on Super Hit Mix Radio — riding the same "summer revenue playbook" internet radio trend that has stations like RadioU flipping their format to all-holiday this week. Preston sends a warm hello and update via a pre-recorded message before jumping on the show later in the evening to catch up with the crew, and JC shares his excitement for an upcoming Puerto Rico trip before heading out early — expect coquí, salsa, and street food stories in a future episode.The crew rounds out the evening with a riff on how Suno AI, VoiceOver-friendly music tools, and independent internet radio are opening doors for blind creators to release polished tracks and full stations without a big-studio setup, and closes the way only Vision Cast can: with the legendary reminder that "Doodles spill the milk!"Keep technology alive, let your talent shine.Recorded 2026-07-08. Hosted by Salvis and Rita on the VisionCast Network.

Are these the Best Summer Songs?

"Back on May 31st Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson chided an audience for chanting USA. Much of the audience then walked out. I wondered if this had happened before and it certainly did. We have multiple examples of an audience turning on the performer and vice versa. For many we have the audio from the stage."

"The new owners of Fender since 2020 are attempting to own the copyright on the Stratocaster body. A German court has taken them part of the way but most experts don't believe it will hold up to scrutiny. Nonetheless, Fender has sent Cease and Desist letters to multiple guitar makers telling them to stop production, call back orders and destroy stock. Fender may have just committed brand suicide because history is not on their side."

"It is no secret that music contracts can be rather brutal on artists. Often the stories focus on not getting paid but there is also the interesting idea of a lawsuit ordering a musician to fill his or her contract and record what we are calling a court ordered album. We have multiple examples plus one where the band was paid NOT to record an album."
