Everyone knows that legendary Brian Wilson was the melodic architect behind those Beach Boys gems; and, yes, he copes with mental health issues. But did you know that Brian Wilson has a favorite chair in his living room where he likes to sit for hours? That he has a favorite bagel spot in Santa Monica, but to get there he has to sit through a traff…

Bruce Springsteen is a polarizing figure. His fans are die-hard, and they even famously refer to him as The Boss. Critics revere him, extolling him as the working man's poet. And of course, "You've just got to see him live." Other people, however, write actual lists on the internet about why they "hate" him (Reason Number 6: the earring). But you c…

The meaning of life? Easy. But the Meaning of Mariah? That's heavy lifting. The Guinness Book of World records refers to Mariah Carey as the Songbird Supreme. She has a five-octave range and can sing into the seventh octave. Her "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is the 11th best-selling single in modern music, and only The Beatles have more number …

Ingredients for the Slash cocktail: gallons of vodka, heroin, STDs, one top hat, and lots and lots of snakes. Stir, pour over ice, and then plug in your defibrillator! You know you've made it big in the world or rock and roll when you no longer need a last name: Sting, Prince, Madonna. Add to that list Slash, lead guitarist of Guns n Roses. The rea…

Arriving like a splash of neon paint, Cyndi Lauper announced to the 80s that Girls, apparently, "Just Want to Have Fun." Sure there was the A-Team, Silver Spoons, and Knight Rider. But what's the 80s without She-Bop? Without Cyndi Lauper in a wrestling ring? Without The Goonies??? In this episode Martha and Christian learn the true colors of the wo…

Sinead O'Connor has often been reduced to that person who shaved her head, tore up the picture of the pope, and refused to play the Star Spangled Banner. It's no surprise, however, that there was more to the story, some of which she reveals in Rememberings. There's the dreary Irish upbringing, the terrible physical abuse, the job dressing up as a m…

Dave Grohl, dude. Dave. GROHL. Dave Grohl has been in the White House several times. He is friends with Paul McCartney. His band the Foo Fighters is very, very, very popular. You almost forget--almost--that he was a drummer for Nirvana, with someone named Kurt Cobain. How did Dave Grohl ever escape the shadow of that band? How did Dave Grohl become…

In this special end-of-the-sea…

Andy Summers was in a psychedelic band called Dantalian's Chariot. He jammed with Jimi Hendrix. He was buddies with Eric Clapton. Yet it amounted to nothing but a failed marriage, guitar lessons in the valley, and a whole lot of meditating in the spirit world. But then a guy named Sting found Andy's message in a bottle, Stewart Copeland added the b…

Martha and Christian are heading into the jungle of Duff McKagan's "It's S…

The Sex Pistols weren't just Johnny Rotten and that Sid guy, the vicious one. They also included Steve Jones, the band's guitarist, without whom the band would not have existed, and who certainly did it His Way. Doc Martens, spiked hair, Guns and Roses--and even, sad to say, Green Day--would not exist were it not for four notorious firearms of sex,…

Google Art Garfunkel, and two things will appear on your screen immediately. One is the question, "Did Art Garfunkel write any songs?" (The answer, dear listeners, is No). And the second thing you'll see is that Art is worth $95,000,000.00. How is this possible? Is the answer in his memoir What Is It All But Luminous? Martha and Christian jump into…

Robert Smith is worth 25 million dollars. Someone with whom you went to high school was covered in head-to-toe black because of his band The Cure. And for better or worse, even country-music fans know "Friday I'm in Love." For all that creativity and success, however, Robert Smith's greatest talent is, apparently, being the best friend you could ev…

Ranked number 100 on Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Artists of All Time”, The Talking Heads were progenitors of Art-School Preppy Punk. Everyone knows David Byrne and that crazy white suit, but behind him was Chris Frantz, the drummer with whom Byrne formed the band. As a founding member, he was there to have lunch with Andy Warhol, tour with The Ra…

The Go-Go's were the first all-female band to have a number-one record of self-penned songs with Beauty and the Beat, a feat unrivaled to this day. A winning combination of punk, surf rock, and sugar in the raw, they were integral to the musical landscape of the 80s. Kathy Valentine was part of that experience, slipping into the bassist spot just a…

"TAKE. MY. TEARS. AND. THAT'S. NOT. NEAR-LEE ALLLLLLLLLLL, TAINTED-", oh, come on. You know. That song. Soft Cell's Tainted Love spent 43 weeks on Britain's Billboard charts and ranked #5 on VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders. You've probably heard the song yourself once or twice, whether it be on the dance floor or while ordering a Subway sandwich…

Whoa-oh here he comes! Before there was Whole Foods, there was Whole Oates, the musical mash-up of Daryl Hall and John Oates (and eventually just Hall & Oates). A duo whose look was perennially out of touch, their music has nevertheless remained in heavy rotation, heavily sampled, and referenced for close to 40 years. To most people John Oates was …

Some achievements speak for themselves: Climbing Mt. Everest. Discovering Fire. Creating the planet Earth. To this pedigree another can now be added: Reading Steven Patrick Morrissey's List of the Lost. Few readers have done it, although many have tried.

We were all beautiful once, especially Sebastian Bach, who was so good looking that James Hetfield had to touch his face just to believe it was real. But beauty fades for everyone, especially if someone from a biker gang puts you in a headlock and rearranges your nose. Listen as our hosts do time with Sebastian Bach on Skid Row, learning about his …

If, on the eve of success, you were kicked out of a band you'd help to start, sent home on a greyhound bus with not a penny in your pocket, you'd probably give up the game. Not Dave Mustaine. With nothing but his ambition, fiery red mane, and battle ax in hand, Dave overcame the abandonment of his family, the betrayal of Metallica, and the suburbs …

Lenny Kravitz has sold over 40 million records. He has married and divorced a Huxtable. But perhaps his greatest achievement is reducing hosts Martha and Christian to tears. How can someone once named Romeo Blue, whose autobiography belongs in the Young Adult section of the bookstore, who had the most privileged childhood in rock--how can that some…

Few musicians can say they grow more beloved with each decade, but Willie Nelson can. His bandana is eternal; his braids are mystic. Even if you don't know his music, you know that Willie smokes his weed, never stops touring, and is an American icon. Get on board Willie's never-ending smoke-filled tour bus with Martha and Christian as they discuss …

Well done, Patti Lee. You were best friends with Robert Mapplethorpe. You dated Sam Shepard while living in the Chelsea Hotel, the counter-culture mecca of the 60s. Morrissey, Michael Stipe, and The Library of Congress revere your debut album Horses as a cultural "landmark." And your book Just Kids won the National Book Award. But have you really a…

Galaxie 500. Luna. If you've never heard of these bands, don't worry, you're just most people. But to a small segment of the population, very little compares to the acquired taste of Dean Wareham's two bands and his guitar playing in particular. Join Christian and Martha as they explore Dean's Black Postcards, wherein Dean narrates the tragic demis…
