Let's Huddle with Ed CunninghamGrunge to High School Football with TJ MartinOscar and Emmy winning director TJ Martin discusses growing up with parents who were in a pioneering rock band in early ‘80s Seattle, making movies about beer pong, Tina Turner and a high school football team in Memphis, along with his process and goals of storytelling. If you want to prep for or follow up after listening with TJ’s work, a good start would be “Last Cup”, “Undefeated”, “LA92” and “Tina”. This episode is meant for a mature audience, and there are discussions of assault and trauma.

Unsung PodcastEpisode 212 - Sunflower by The Beach Boys (Side B)Whether pretending to be surfers and getting slapped with fines from the manager for swearing or cavorting with transcendental meditation and falling out with one another, The Beach Boys were never quite what people thought they were. They were often at each other’s throats, relationships were fraught a lot of the time, members of the band seemed to withdraw from the group and return whenever the mood suited them and that’s before we even mention Brian Wilson’s sometimes extreme battle with mental health. The story of the Beach Boys is weirder, sadder and madder than you could...

Before we agreed to do their 16th(!!!) album Sunflower at Vicki’s behest, we knew it was going to be a huge undertaking but good lord, it was bigger than we could have ever imagined. And that’s to say nothing of the tumultuous interpersonal relationships between the band members. On one hand, it makes sense that there would be some drama – they came up in the 60s and churned out records at a faster rate than The Beatles throughout that e...

Leaning into the aesthetics and mass-media sensibilities of the ‘80s and ‘90s, John and his brother’s company – the Costacos Brothers – were so good at what they did that they went from chasing deals to having stars call them asking for a poster of their own. We talk about how the company started, some of the biggest names and best photo shoots, their poster series featuring Don James, the legendary college fo...

He specialized in building brands, leading them through transition and spearheading sports sponsorships with NCAA Basketball, PGA, MLB, International Soccer and the UFC.

We ponder what a “birth squeeze” is and what a llama’s toenail looks like…. We also talk about the band’s entire discography and friends, let me tell you, it was a journey.

His music ranged from the purely experimental, to disco, warped 80s synth pop and so much more. It’s the latter that makes Calling out of Context, the first posthumous complication released by his estate such an intriguing listen. Arthur rose to prominence as the musical director of Manhattan’s avant-garde musical playground The Kitchen. He rubbed shoulders with people from all walks of life - from Allen Ginsburg to the Talking Heads and many more besides - before discovering disco music. From there, he produced a number of underg...

Weaver has chosen Nite Flights by The Walker Brothers this week, but with a particular focus on the Scott Walker songs on the album, which necessities a deep dive into his catalogue. And what a catalogue it is. It’s so large in fact, that we only get as far as the 1980s. Indeed, this week sees us mostly talk about The Walker Brothers themselves and some of Scott’s early solo stuff. Of course, like...

This turned into a very nice two parter, so instead of getting one MAHOOSIVE deluge of Big Country, we thought it best to split the difference.

Over the course of 8 albums, ABBA explored pretty much every facet of 70s pop music. They swung from stomping glam rock to disco floor fillers, and from mad prog rock excursions into weird baroque pop. They even experimented by pan pipes and shit. In...

Retire There with Gil & GeneE21 Retiring in San Jose, Costa RicaRob and Jeni Evans happily retired early but faced a dilemma - their jobs did not pay for health insurance after retirement and they were too young to qualify for Medicare. Health insurance would have cost the couple $24,000 per year. As a solution, they decided to rid their 30+ years of possessions and move to another country. They whittled down everything they owned to 10 suitcases and relocated to Costa Rica. The Evanses analogize Costa Rica to Disneyland and they have no regrets! Rob contends there are three stages of retirement: (1) Go-Go, when you’re in your 60s; Slow-Go is th...

Which kinda sums up a lot of this band’s story; screwed over by the mechanations of an industry that they thought would help them achieve at least some semblance of success. But when you think about it, given how obtuse a lot of this band’s music is, the fact they even made it as far as getting a song synced to an advert in the first place is no small miracle. Even t...

Only this time it’s a little more diverse, as Sharon Van Etten’s fifth album ‘Remind Me Tomorrow’ augment her usual folk-ish indie rock sound with everything from trip-hop to 80s synth pop. This album was released in 2019, which makes it the newest record to be nominated for our discography. Whilst it is a pretty good record, some of our attention turns towards wondering if we can call an album unsung when it is an artist’s latest release.

It’s a song that literally millions of people have heard due to the vast amount of memes that popped up in 2017 after a YouTube user used the the song in one of their videos. Apparently though, that’s not what led Weaver into the arms of the strange 80s J-Pop genre of City Pop. To say that anyone here actually thinks this album is good would be an outright lie, but Weaver bri...

Unsung PodcastEpisode 82 - King Night by Salem“Flash in the pan” style genres are a distinctly modern creation. Once born from message boards and chatrooms, they’re chucked into existence on social media and furiously lapped up by the music press. Every magazine, website, blog, podcast and channel is keen to shape the tastes of thousands, and embracing such fanciful “microgenres” can reap immense short term benefits for any outlet that appears to be on the zeitgeist. And sometimes, just occasionally, these things crossover into the mainstream. That was the case with Salem, a “witch house” band from Chicago and Traverse City. Despite having existed before...

It’s a vitality that’s both earned and odd, as their acerbic, caustic, antagonistic, overtly political message may seem at odds with the kind of content their contemporaries were discussing. Yet when viewed as another facet in the rise, and dissemination, of the black culture that PE and their kin were at the forefront of in the late 80s, they can be viewed as part of a more complete picture that aimed to communicate the black experience in America...
