We got to hang with frontman Peter Zaremba of The Fleshtones. We discuss the 50th anniversary of the band, The Wheel of Talent, CBGB and Max's, France and Spain, being on IRS Records and why their earlier stuff isn't available on the streamings, "The Cutting Edge" television show on MTV, discovering Jimi, and the "Bachelor Party" movie.

We just hit record and started chatting so there's no formal "intro." If you think I need to record one, please share some thoughts. I kind of figured that no intro was in line with the Fleshtones no nonsense punk kind of vibe.

Lots of music in this one including the following Fleshtones songs (and others where notated).

You Gotta Love, Love (intro)

Hitsburg

Alex Trebek

Love My Lover

Float Your Showboat

Box Tops – Cry Like a Baby

Tommy Roe – Sheila

The Honeycombs - Love in Tokyo

Le Cereau (Peter solo song)

American Beat

Roman Gods (outro)

I've heard that some of our older episodes aren't showing up on some podcast platforms.

Let me remedy that by rereleasing some of those archived episodes. Let's call it "Records Revisited - Episodes Revisited."

The guys are joined by U2 superfan Matt Nathanson to discuss U2’s “Achtung Baby.” Plenty of other discussion about the beauty of “One,” what is “super crotch,” playing music in Provo at Mama’s Café and the JSB, Hansa Studios in Berlin, the power of friendship and band longevity, Depeche Mode, “tart” vs “guitar,” mean lyrics, and just how good this album is. We love this album but Matt LOVES this album.

Fair warning…this episode is like seeing Matt live in concert. So good but so NSFW.

Maddie Medley joins us to discuss her new album "Fawn's Enemy" and then we discuss the grammy nominated "The Idler Wheel..." Yeah, I'm not going to type out the actual whole album title. Plenty of other discussion including building a world of fawns and skunks, leaving a major label and going independent, seeing Fiona Apple at the Ryman, name dropping at Largo, voice cracking, M83, and lots more. Check it out!

This one is an instant classic! Steve Poltz was the last guy from the "Frasier Fair" tour that I had yet to have on the podcast (the mini tour of Steve, John Doe, Glen Phillips and Pete Droge) and Steve does NOT disappoint. What a blast. We talk about John Doe, encyclopedia salesmen (and the inspiration behind his "Son of God" song), testing the concept of sequencing albums, Steely Dan and other personnel Rickie enlisted for this album, Broadway, and much more. CHECK THIS OUT!

Patreon Revisitor Dave Greenberg rejoins us and he brought along friend Jon Fash to join in the fun. Plenty of Pretenders related conversation including Andre & The Amplifiers (anyone know that band), reliving the importance of our first Pretenders episode with Doug Gillard, Cher, putting nothing in storage, covering an obscure Ray Davies/Kinks song, whip noises, the EP that precedes II, "Cuban Slide" and, wait, "Louie Louie" isn't a cover?!?

Don Williams was one of the biggest country stars of the 80s. Yet, we don't talk enough about Don. Glad that Thomas Csorba picked the 1977 record "Country Boy" from Don though, if you ask Wayne, Thomas should have picked "I Believe In You" from 1980.

Plenty of other discussion including the Opry, Mickey Gilley, Eddie Rabbitt, "to G or not to add a G," the legacy of Don with Louisiana Football (on a Saturday Night), and much more. If you like old school country, this is your episode!

Amelia Day joins us to discuss her excellent EP "EGO TRIP" then we dive into "Revealer" from Madison Cunningham. Plenty of other discussion including Sumner WA, Madison winning a Grammy over seasoned vets, controlled chaos in 7/8, writing out song titles in ALL CAPS, the stages of grief, crying in a rental car somewhere in Arkansas, Across the Universe, Tori Amos, and more.

I had a chance to interview Don Barnes, the longtime singer and guitarist for 38 Special. Besides chatting about several topics, we focused a lot of the episode on the making and inspirations behind the album "Wild Eyed Southern Boys." 

Plenty of other discussion about how the band decided who sang on which songs, why Donnie is retired from touring, working with Jim Peterik of Survivor, the inspiration behind "Back Alley Sally," getting hits on the rock stations, the band's latest album "Milestone," how Don's solo album finally saw the light of day, and Don confirms that the band does indeed play live "Second Chance."

Ira Elliot of Nada Surf returns!  Ira rejoins us to talk about “Get the Knack” from The Knack.  Plenty of other discussion including wearing shirts of your own band, post Beatles albums, Ringo, Bambi Kino, the other music of 1979, the Chipmunks, David Naughton, and why Bruce Gary should be talked about WAY more.  What a drummer!

Patreon Revisitor Scotty Kummer of the I’ve Got That On Vinyl Podcast & The Ten Junk Miles Podcast joins us to discuss "Parallel Lines" from Blondie.  We have a longstanding argument about "Parallel Lines." I've said it's a good album...but not essential.

I might have changed my stance had Wayne not been such a poo poo head about it. And, I really wanted to double down.

Just don't tell Wayne that I think it's an essential record now, OK? Thanks.

Gretchen Lemon of Seattle based band Jaws of Brooklyn joins us to discuss "Transatlanticism" from Death Cab for Cutie. And, because we're talking about Death Cab, I had to invite little brother Dave Montgomery to join us since he was a big reason why I became a Death Cab for Cutie fan.

Plenty of other discussion including Jaws of Brooklyn's new album "Unstoppable," traveling from Eastern Washington to Seattle, the creative peak of Ben Gibbard (The Postal Service came from this time period as well!!!), Chris Walla's influence, rethinking a score (and calling an audible on tape), and the killer rhythm section of Nick Harmer and Jason McGerr.
