The Asylum PodcastThe Megadeth (2026) Listening PartyMegadeth released their (supposed) final album, self-titled Megadeth, on January 23, 2026. The final hurrah deserved a listening party to get the scope of what Dave Mustaine and his cast of replacement players were up to. Kousin Marvin couldn’t make it, so he’ll have to listen on his own. But, the other Kousins gave reviews, thoughts on Megadeth – new or old opinions, and other Megadeth/Mustaine thoughts.
Calls were from Eugene B Sims, Bruno from Volcanically Hot South Africa, Jim from Irwin, Nick Provenzano, and Jem from Alabama.
Have you heard the last(?) Megadeth album? What d...
2026-02-0600 minThe Asylum PodcastThe Asylum Mount Rushmore: Female VocalistsThe Kousins hadn’t done a Mount Rushmore in a long time, so it was time to dust that feature off and go with the ladies. And this isn’t just hard rock female vocalists; this is all-encompassing. Each Kousin made their own lists, and then a collective Mt. Rushmore was tallied from the results. It was an interesting experiment and harder than expected.
Calls from Eugene B Sims from Wheeler’s Dog Podcast, Jim from Irwin, Nick Provenzano from Northern California, Bruno from Slightly Overcast but Pleasantly Warm South Africa, and the slick mamajama himself, Jem from A...
2026-01-302h 46The Asylum PodcastThirty-Four Years Feels Like YesterdayOn November 24, 1991, KISSdom lost its backbeat, its rhythm. Eric Carr succumbed to heart cancer at the age of 41. Kousin Tim had just turned 21 and took up temporary binge drinking the night he heard. The news of this could have been, nay, should have been bigger; it was a great loss. However, Eric’s death was overshadowed by that of another musical celebrity, probably a bit more high-profile, Freddie Mercury of Queen. Freddie’s death carried with it the burden of being AIDS. The first-or biggest-named musician who had died from the disease, Freddie, became, and rightfully so, a martyr for f...

The Asylum PodcastSpinquisition: Leave Home by RamonesThe Spinquisition was back with a whole new album to drop on the Kousins.
The premise is this: the Kousins put out a call for their dedicated listener base to send in album recommendations. As was put to them(ish):
“We will load a long list of albums into the randomizing wheel (we dubbed it ‘Takamata’) with the premise of the episodes being that we have to review an album, start to finish, listening party-style with no prep, no advance notice, and totally at random.”
And the listeners came through! The albums can be any genre a...
2025-11-071h 12The Asylum PodcastBack to Jendell goes Ace.Another iconic loss for fans of ’70s-’90s hard rock. This one, though, hits really close to home. This podcast was started to allow the Kousins to talk about their collective favorite band, KISS. All eras, really, but none of the conversations could have happened without what happened in the beginning, when four hungry New York-born “boys” decided to put on makeup and take over the world with their own form of hard rock music. One of those New Yorkers, or Jendellian, Paul Daniel “Ace” Frehley, set the world on fire with his unorthodox guitar style, on-stage charisma, and goofy, clums...

Not just the metal world. Not just the hard rock world. Celebrities, musicians, artists, influencers, and everyday joes from ALL walks of life, genres, backgrounds, and origins are mourning our beloved Ozzy. We won’t discuss it extensively here in the show notes, as we feel it was adequately conveyed by our listeners who called in, our own thoughts and memories, and more.

2025-07-251h 08The Asylum PodcastGrading the 1988 Hard Rock AlbumsFirst, our producer apologizes for the lack of an episode last week. There it is; we’re done with it. No more mentions.
A few weeks ago, the Kousins did a retrospective of music (and other pop-culture things) from 1988, which focused on the hard rock genre (which can be found here). The Kousins will be visiting other years. But before we all move on, it was time to grade the top hard rock albums of 1988 (in their opinion).
The albums that were graded (from A+ to F) were (in no particular order):

2025-04-2450 minThe Asylum PodcastAn Asylum Podcast Pop-Culture Retrospective: 1987Dateline – The Asylum. The Year… 1987.
1986 was hard to top. It was great not only in the hard rock but all music. So, how did 1987 do? We think it was pretty righteous. Some landmark albums came out that year.
Some of those represent the biggest or perhaps most widely known in some artists’ careers. In addition to all the great music, not just hard rock but pop, alternative, and post-punk, the Kousins take on a snippet in time and talk about what 1987 meant to them. Not only is music on the menu for the Kousins, but they a...
2025-03-142h 42The Asylum PodcastThe Asylum Mount Rushmore: BassistsSo, here it is. The Mt. Rushmore that Kousins Tim and Gary have been waiting for. The Mt. Rushmore of bass players. The instrument that holds the bottom down, tells you what chords you’ll hear, and gets the least respect in a band (behind keyboard players). While Kousin Marvin and Kousin Ray know which bassists they like and respect, it was time for schooling from the other two knuckleheads.
Each Kousin gave their “Now Listening.”
Calls from Nick Provenzano from Northern California and two more catch-up calls from new fan, Dave from Winston-Salem.

2025-02-282h 52The Asylum PodcastAn Asylum Podcast Pop-Culture Retrospective: 1986Dateline – The Asylum. The Year… 1986.
1984 was a banger. 1985 was a letdown(ish). However, 1986 brought back the hard rock (and all music) scene to kick-ass levels.
There are some landmark albums from 1986. Some represent the biggest or perhaps most widely known in some artists’ careers. In addition to all the great music, not just hard rock but pop, alternative, and post-punk, the Kousins take on a snippet in time and talk about what 1986 meant to them. Not only is music on the menu for the Kousins, but they also talk about movies, television, sports, and even video...
2025-01-101h 34The Asylum PodcastThe Asylum Mount Rushmore: Lead GuitaristsDue to some technical difficulties (of which Kousin Tim is sparing you details), Kousin Tim had to pass off production duties to Kousin Gary. The Kousins thought it was time for another “Mount Rushmore” topic and this time it was lead guitarists. We may get to rhythm guitarists in the future, but for now, the spotlight takers, the shredders, the tappers… lead guitarists. Each Kousin went through their four picks with some accompanying music and why they thought they should be on the Rushmore list.
Calls from Jim From Irwin, Jem From Alabama, Nick Provenzano, and long-lost Uncle...
2024-12-132h 23The Asylum PodcastAsylum Inmates’ KISS Album RankingsIt started with Bruno From Sunny South Africa talking about an album that was a “bottom three” album or “top five” or whatever. Arbitrary rankings without context is hard. So, Kousin Tim called on all the “Asylum Inmates” to submit their own KISS Album Rankings. Unbeknownst to any of them, Kousin Tim didn’t really have a plan for the rankings, not unlike a dog chasing a car – what to do once you catch it? So, the Kousins decided to do a comparison and cumulative ranking based on the submissions by Jim From Irwin, Jem From Alabama, Nick Provenzano, Steve from Podde...
2024-12-062h 04The Asylum PodcastGrading Iron Maiden Mark I and Mark II AlbumsWhile listening to the Paul Di’Anno albums a few weeks back, one of the Kousins mentioned grading Iron Maiden albums. So, that’s what the Kousins are doing. They are grading the Mark I (“the Di’Anno years,” Iron Maiden, Killers) and Mark II (“the Bruce years, part one,” Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, Powerslave, Somewhere in Time, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, No Prayer for the Dying, Fear of the Dark) versions of the band. The grades are cumulative averages given each Kousin’s individual grades. The grades can be from A+ to F.

2024-10-0625 minThe Asylum PodcastAlbum Gladiator Showdown – The Number of the Beast vs. Piece of MindFor the first time ever, we have an outsider coming in to challenge a Kousin in an Album Gladiator Showdown. Steve Wright from Podder Than Hell and I Remember Now – The Queensrÿche Podcast comes in to challenge Kousin Marvin to a duel. And they used Iron Maiden as their gladiators. Steve wielded the power of Maiden’s third album, the first with Bruce Dickinson, 1982’s The Number of the Beast. Kousin Marvin took the reins of that album’s follow-up, 1983’s Piece of Mind. It is epic!
To reiterate the rules: Each combatant has two in-round deferrals. Af...
2024-06-0700 minThe Asylum PodcastThe Bon Jovi ListThere’s a relatively new docuseries on Hulu about Bon Jovi, specifically Jon Bon Jovi. It covers his career, the band’s career, the ups and downs, the losses and gains, and his voice problem (among other things). We had talked (off-air) about how bad he had been sounding and that docuseries Thank You, Goodnight, The Bon Jovi Story filled in many holes. The Kousins all had various levels of fandom, with one member, particularly into them, and it may be the one you’d expect the least. The Kousins sent in their Top 10 Bon Jovi songs. They were put th...
2024-05-172h 31The Asylum PodcastAlbum Gladiator Showdown – Appetite for Delusion Part 2It’s part two, five songs each, for the GnR Album Gladiator Showdown between Kousin Gary and Kousin Ray, with Kousin Tim and Kousin Marvin judging. This one should decide who is the ultimate winner.
To catch you up: A few weeks back, Kousin Ray said that Guns ‘N’ Roses’ Use Your Illusion I & II would be one great album if you trimmed the fat. He also said this album could rival the greatness of GnR’s debut, Appetite for Destruction. Kousin Gary took exception to that and said, “No way!” So, here we are today. Kousin Ray took twelve...
2024-03-222h 01The Asylum PodcastAlbum Gladiator Showdown – Appetite for DelusionA few weeks back, Kousin Ray said that Guns ‘N’ Roses’ Use Your Illusion I & II would be one great album if you trimmed the fat. He also said this album could rival the greatness of GnR’s debut, Appetite for Destruction. Kousin Gary took exception to that and said, “No way!” So, here we are today. Kousin Ray took twelve songs from the two UYI albums to pit against the twelve songs of Appetite with Kousin Gary.
To reiterate the rules: After a coin flip, the winner can either go first or defer their pick. The first picker...
2024-03-152h 11The Asylum PodcastA Live Album PerspectiveThe Kousins have varying degrees of love or indifference with live albums. Kousin Gary and Kousin Ray love them. Kousin Marvin is a self-professed “fairweather fan,” and Kousin Tim doesn’t really like many of them. So, let’s dive into four live albums and give highlights of each. This way, those who love them can say why, and those who are mostly indifferent can possibly learn something. Did it happen? Who knows…
The albums chosen for this episode were Iron Maiden’s Live After Death (1985), Dokken’s Beast From The East (1988), Rush’s Exit… Stage Left (1981), and Guns ‘N’ Roses’ ...

Yeah, we know. We said we were done with the KISS things, at least for a little bit. But, the opportunity to do one last KISS Album Gladiator Showdown came up, and we couldn’t go without doing it. But, this time, there is a twist!

2023-12-222h 15The Asylum PodcastA New Era-ish…Last week we announced the end of the road for the KISS podcast. It’s time. We need to move on. BUT… we’re not going anywhere. We are our own Avatars in this scenario. We are rising like a phoenix from the ashes as a “hard rock” podcast. We will not abandon KISS, of course not, but we are opening the floodgates to all the other hard-rocking things out there.
This week, to get things started, we did an extended “Now Listening” since it’s a favorite part for us, and we’ve heard the same from listeners, as...

Because of time restraints, the Kousins got through the 1970s and into the 1980s. The conversation will pick back up next week. But, for this week, discussed was Kenny Kerner & Richie Wise, Neil Bogart, Bob Ezrin, Eddie Kramer, Jeff Glixman, Sean Delaney, and Vini Poncia. All the way through Music From ‘The Elder.’

Steve talks Queensryche with the best of them, so it was great to have him with the Kousins. It was fun having Steve on!
All five gave their “Now Listenings,” and all, except for Kousin Tim, talked about the show, the setlist, the highlights, things they’d change, and more.

2023-10-062h 36The Asylum PodcastPsycho Circus ReduxRoadie Ray is out again with a business thing. But the Kousins would have loved to have heard his thoughts on this week’s album… Psycho Circus. It was reviewed by the Kousins in December 2020. How have their thoughts changed? Have they changed at all? It’s “Listening Party” style from the “return of the Original KISS.” That’s completely a misnomer, by the way.
The Kousins gave their “now listenings.”

The Kousins did a sort of “Now Listening” as a tribute to the late, great Eric Carr in celebration of his birthday.

He devised a plan to be the judge of an Album Gladiator Battle but, since it’s so close to the first of the month, have it be opening acts. KT and KG didn’t know which albums they’d be duking it out with. You have to listen to find out who defended what, but it turns out that both Kousins chose Cheap Trick albums.

mydadsvinyl's podcastMy Dad's Vinyl-Episode 1I recently rediscovered my Dad's record collection from the late 50's and early 60's, the sweet spot of the Post Modern era. It contains a lot of rarities and musical gems you don't often hear, even on the "oldies" stations. I quickly realized the collection might be enjoyed by others so I'm embarking on a musical journey which I share as a tribute to my Dad. So hoist up your Old Fashioneds and Whiskey Sours and step aboard the musical time machine of My Dad's Vinyl!
