We talk about his personal connection to the album, as well as the band, which makes for some fun stories. Bonus: you get to hear me geek out as he mentions being the man behind a compilation album that features one of my favorite covers by The Aquabats.

Joining me this week is Jessica Johnson, a woman I have known and talked to about music for many years. From the first time I mentioned the show idea to her, she knew she was going to go with No Doubt’s “Return of Saturn”. We talk about Gwen Stefani, relationships, and life… and I try to make a few Gavin Rossdale/Bush jokes, but none are really that funny.

My buddy Michael Knight‘s on the show this week! He’s one of my favorite bartenders, a constant fantasy hockey nemesis, and an all-around good dude. We’re talking about The National’s “Trouble Will Find Me”, and why such a recent album is already one of his favorites. We recorded the episode on location at Barcelona Bar, but alas, no Harry Potter shots were consumed.

I’ve been a fan of Random aka Mega Ran for a few years now, as his music always gets my head bopping. I reached out to see if he’d be interested in being on the show, and he was. It was a blast chatting with him about the legendary Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On”.

I’m a guest on my own show! This week, I’m turning over hosting duties to Tyler Soucy and Pete Weiland from A Great Big Pile of Leaves. I’m going to be talking about one of my favorite albums, which happens to be “You’re Always On My Mind” by A Great Big Pile of Leaves. In between a lot of goofing around with my guest hosts, I also delve into what this album means to me, and why I picked it ahead of one of my all-time loves, Weezer’s “Pinkerton”.
