    This Week in Rock History: January 16–22
    Jan 20 2026

    This week on the show, host Sara J is continuing a listener-favorite format with another deep dive into unforgettable moments in music history—this time spanning January 16–22.

    From the opening of the legendary Whisky A Go-Go on the Sunset Strip to Eric Clapton’s iconic MTV Unplugged session, the birth of Mötley Crüe, and the formation of Bad Company, this episode explores a week packed with defining rock moments. We also revisit infamous and unforgettable events like Ozzy Osbourne’s bat-biting incident, Neil Young’s solo debut, Buddy Holly’s final apartment recordings, and the Beach Boys beginning work on “Wouldn’t It Be Nice.”

    Plus, we celebrate music birthdays from legends like Sade, Janis Joplin, Dolly Parton, Paul Stanley, Questlove, Steve Perry, and more—while also remembering Glenn Frey and David Crosby.

    Part rock history, part cosmic coincidence, and part personal reflection (including a birthday shout-out close to home)

  • A Conversation with Satellite Pilot (2 Furreals 2 True EP Release)

    A Conversation with Satellite Pilot (2 Furreals 2 True EP Release)
    Dec 9 2025
    "No one's gonna die, it's just art"This week, host Sara J welcomes Loveland, CO–based psychedelic indie rock band Satellite Pilot to the show. Joined by Cody (bass), Amy (guitar, synth), Sierra (keys, harp), and Alex (guitar, vocals) — with a shoutout to Jared on drums — the band sits down to talk all things Satellite Pilot as they gear up to release their first EP, 2 furreels 2 true, out December 12th.They dive into the creative process, favorite tracks, what it’s like bringing these songs to life on stage, the story behind the cover art, and so much more.The conversation kicks off with the current lineup sharing their history with the band, how they came together organically, and the unexpected little community of fans that’s blossomed in Wichita, Kansas.From there, each member opens up about what it means to be part of the “ever-expanding energy machine” that is Satellite Pilot — and how the project fuels their own creative worlds, including the music they make outside the group.Then, the band gives a look at what’s coming in 2026: their first-ever live release, To Live to Dazzle, recorded at Dazzle — Denver’s beloved jazz club. Plus, plans to record a lot more, drop a run of singles, and hit the road for shows that stretch “beyond.”A real look at a band building momentum on their own terms.(Songs heard in this episode: 2 Furreels 2 True & It Takes Hawaii'll) More from this week's guests:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/satellite_pilot/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SatellitePilotYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@satellitepilothttps://linktr.ee/satellitepilotSatellite Pilot at The Roxy Theatre (Denver, CO) 8/30/25 - FULL GALLERY on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/satellite-pilot-137811407?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkOther projects mentioned in this episode:https://www.instagram.com/herviscera/https://www.instagram.com/a.m.pleasureassassins/https://linktr.ee/ampleasureassassins?utm_source=linktree_profile_share https://ampleasureassassins.com/https://www.instagram.com/paradiseovertime/https://linktr.ee/paradiseovertime?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareDonate to DATC Media Company: https://datcmediacompany.com/supportGive the gift of Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/giftThe DATC Media Podcast Family: https://datcmediacompany.com/podcastsWant to be a guest on the show? https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcastWant to be a RoughGauge featured artist?
