About this listen

Episode 34. We’re still here. That’s not nothing.


It’s a Tuesday music news episode. Kid Rock is charging $5,000 for front-row tickets and is mad people pointed that out. Dave Grohl explains what actually happened with Josh Freese. Mikael Åkerfeldt wants a break from being “Band Michael.” Halestorm talks about playing without tracks. Adrian Smith weighs in on AI shortcuts. And Alex Van Halen is digging into unreleased Eddie-era material for a possible new record.


There’s also Rush deluxe reissues, Spiritbox tour news, and a couple stories I started and then immediately lost interest in.


I close it out with what I’ve been listening to — Jay Buchanan, Brent Faiyaz, Willow, Angel Du$t, Graveyard, and The Messthetics with James Brandon Lewis… which I liked before I even realized it was Fugazi guys.


That’s it. Music news. Opinions. A beer.

New episodes every Tuesday and Friday.
