Happy New Year to all of you! We'd thought to try something different to ring out 2022 and ring in 2023 with a free-form talk about all things music currently swirling around our respective noggins. And yes, those delightful curmudgeonly exchanges you've come to love make an appearance or two. It's a show without a playlist or script we hope you enjoy.

One could say that we were victims of Stockholm Syndrome when we tell the tale of our captors, the Swedish merchants of death metal and roll, Entombed. Tune in as we recount our pleasant musical ordeal of listening to and being transformed by a band who help change the landscape of heavy music as we stepped into the millennium. And give those necks and fists a workout by listening to our Autoreverse Entombed playlist: https://spoti.fi/3FLeH5f

The Windy City has blown many seminal talents our ways but few as influential as Mr. Ramsey Lewis. We discuss the pianist/songwriter/mentor extraordinaire and his massive influence on jazz, soul, dance, rhythm & blues, and pop music. And when you're done with the episode, get a delicious taste of his work by listening to our AutoReverse Ramsey Lewis playlist on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3TI68f1

When Supergrass found themselves in the weeds of Brit pop, they refused to allow themselves to get lost, and instead they forged their own sonic path. Join us as we dissect this band, their fabulous music, and their role in the English rock continuum. And get a taste of this goodness and check out our Autoreverse Supergrass playlist on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3FAVxPV

Which one of these things wasn't Harry Nilsson: an awe-inspiring songwriter, an astounding dynamic singer, or a prolific touring musician? Join us as we discuss a man of breathtaking talent who reached the top of the pop world but felt just as comfortable out of the spotlight. And check out his brilliance for yourself in our AutoReverse Nillson playlist on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3TaUQAt

We're back! And we return from our summer breather to discuss a trio that emerged from Philly — slowly yet spectacularly — with a mix of soul, funk, and rock that asserted their breathtaking abilities in ways that are still heard today. To see what we're gushing about, make sure you check out the Autoreverse Labelle playlist on Spotify.

We tackle the question whether Ian Hunter, Mick Ralphs, and the boys were a great band that didn't get their due or a good band that got that and a little more. And if we don't make a convincing case, decide for yourself by listening to our Mott the Hoople playlist on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Q7C2jM

We discuss Chris Bailey and the boys from Brisbane that helped usher in punk rock with their unmistakable sound then dragged it by its hair to places it never thought it could go for more than 20 years. Make sure you check out our Saints playlist on Spotify. Link: spoti.fi/3aWgI1n

What started out as a tool for a nervous performer became a signature “rap” that would catapult her to the top of the charts. Join us as we get bitchy with the Queen of Squeam and R&B juggernaut Millie Jackson. Make sure check out our playlist on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3x77kRn

There are bands that can be mesmerizingly elegant one song and brilliantly caustic the next. But no band can do it better than Wire. We invite our friend and resident Wire aficionado Greg Vegas to discuss their musical splendor. And make sure you check out our Wire playlist on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3L57cpd
