Sticky Fingers, released in 1971, stands as one of The Rolling Stones' most iconic albums, blending blues, rock, and country in a way that solidified their reputation as rock legends. The album also marked several important milestones for the band: it was their first release on their own Rolling Stones Records label and the debut of their iconic tongue and lips logo. The record's mix of gritty rock and introspective ballads showcases the Stones at the peak of their creative powers, and its influence has endured for decades.

The Fixx Reach the Beach

Friday, November 8, 2024 • Duration 05:02

In this episode, we’re talking about one of my favorite bands from when I was in high school, The Fixx. We will also dig into my favorite Fixx album, Reach The Beach.

When I moved to North County San Diego, in Oceanside California, I was exposed to new music from the alternative station 91X out of San Diego, and friends—especially my friend J.D. who was also a big fan of The Fixx. I heard a lot of their stuff on 91X, and J.D. copied me some of their early albums, and I became a big fan.

Oingo Boingo and Dead Man's Party

Thursday, October 31, 2024 • Duration 09:00

I discovered Oingo Boingo going to high school in southern California and listening to 91 X out of San Diego. I was attracted to this punky southern California band everyone seemed to love. They were fun, whacky, and had this interesting little halloweeny association, especially in southern California where for years they would do a run of epic shows in Los Angeles and San Diego. Eventually seeing them became a yearly thing for my friend Mike and me, lasting several years. We’d often see a couple of Halloween shows a year, whether at Irvine Meadows or San Diego State Open Air Theater. Even those couple of times towards the end without the horn section, believe it or not!

The English Beat and General Public

Friday, October 18, 2024 • Duration 05:57

In this episode, we’re turning up the volume on The English Beat and General Public, bands that defied categorization and left an enduring legacy.

The English Beat, often lumped into the ska revival of the late 1970s and early 1980s, was far more than just another two-tone band. Their music was a vibrant fusion of ska, reggae, punk, and pop, creating an infectious and thought-provoking sound.

In 1980, The English Beat faced a crossroads. With creative differences emerging, the band decided to part ways. But the musical journey didn't stop for its members.

Dave Wakeling, Ranking Roger, and a new lineup formed General Public. This new project departed from the ska-heavy sound of the English Beat, leaning more towards pop and new wave.
