The two aging hippies from the Freedom Rock commercial
"Hey man, is that Wisdom Rock?"
"Yeah, man!"
"Well, turn it up, man!"
This week, a conversation with Rusty Willoughby about his work as a solo artist as well as with Pure Joy, flop, Llama, and his newest project Patrons of Husbandry.
This week, songs about movies and films from @paranoiacs.bsky.social, @johnprine.bsky.social, @ringostarrmusic.bsky.social, @wesleystace.bsky.social, @tmbg.bsky.social and more!
I was just about to reply bemoaning the mass unavailability of the Equals’ catalog (late era re-recordings notwithstanding). But lo and behold - there appears to be an official Bandcamp! theequals.bandcamp.com
This week, songs about reaching from @theprimitives.bsky.social, @dagjuhlin.bsky.social, @sincereengineer.bsky.social and many more! www.podomatic.com/podcasts/ste...
Group picture from Prince’s Trust benefit concert in 1986. Many Hall of Fame-level musicians (amongst them Paul McCartney, Elton John, Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Rod Stewart, Mark Knopfler and Joan Armatrading) look distinctly unimpressed as Francis Rossi beams.
A similar vibe to this picture from the 1986 Prince’s Trust concert, where it appears Francis Rossi of Status Quo dealt it and everyone else smelt it.
This week, songs about millions from @iwasakingband.bsky.social, @robynhitchcock.bsky.social, @remhq.bsky.social, @mekons.bsky.social, @bccamplight.bsky.social and more!
Had a very nice chat with Charlie at Stereo Hysteria, and delved into some forgotten corners of my output, which I very much appreciated. Here’s the recorded evidence!
This week, a conversation with legendary Chicago musician @dagjuhlin.bsky.social, featuring music from his groups The Slugs, Poi Dog Pondering and Sunshine Boys, as well as discussion of his upcoming tour celebrating @remhq.bsky.social with Michael Shannon, @jasonnarducy.bsky.social & Friends.
Could not possibly care less about a biopic -- but will this make it easier to finally release the End Of The Century boxset that they announced over 5 years ago?
This week, music recorded live in 2025, with @franzferdinandhq.bsky.social, @spoontheband.bsky.social, @officialjackwhite.bsky.social, @brucespringsteen.net, @robynhitchcock.bsky.social and more!
Happy birthday to @amyrigby.bsky.social! This episode from April 2018 features my conversation with Amy peppered with stellar music from The Last Roundup, The Shams, her solo albums and collaborations with Wreckless Eric. www.podomatic.com/podcasts/ste...
Bob Neuwirth said after hearing this song premiered at a songwriter-in-the-round show at the Bluebird in Nashville: “If ever you're in a situation, just play that song and they’ll all know that you know what you're doing.”

Amazing! This article goes into some of the other rejected Wonders songs. (A demo of They Might Be Giants' attempt also leaked recently.) I reckon Playtone Records should release a compilation of them all called That Thing You Don't. www.spin.com/2025/08/clos...
This week, our picks of 2025's best cover versions, featuring
@missmargoprice.bsky.social singing Dylan,
@ducksltd.bsky.social singing Camera Obscura,
@douggillard.bsky.social singing Game Theory, @cheekface.bsky.social singing Superdrag and more!
Detail from Beatles Anthology promo sweatshirt, 1995: left sleeve with logos for Apple, Capitol Video, Turner Home Entertainment and Best Buy. All you need is corporate synergy!
I particularly enjoy this bit of detail on the left sleeve:
Incidentally, I still have the sweatshirt from the pictured promotion and wore it last month whilst watching the remastered Anthology. Both the program and garment were constructed sturdily and remain enjoyable 30 years later!
“…a record, a video, a television program, a book, and no doubt, somewhere down the line, it will also be a T-shirt.”
This week, new music from past Stereo Hysteria artists of the month including @paranoiacs.bsky.social, @smokingpopesmusic.bsky.social, @mekons.bsky.social, @hussalonia.bsky.social, @wesleystace.bsky.social, @swanseasound.bsky.social, @antonbarbeau.bsky.social, @dekedickerson.bsky.social and more!
If bonus tracks are your thing, here’s some suggested additional listening:
Woo, my Elliott Smith suggestion made it (along with maybe the best Weezer song)!
On this week's episode, highlights from 2025's best deluxe editions, box sets and archival releases, including rare tracks from @brucespringsteen.net, @frankzappa.bsky.social, @thecarsofficial.bsky.social, @yokoono.bsky.social, @greenday.fm and more!
Also, Elliott Smith’s demo of I Figured You Out is exquisite, obviously youtu.be/rhLxyFJhKbw
There’s only one way to go out: SINGING!
The digital-only copyright-extension Motown Unreleased sets are full of incredible finds, particularly some jawdroppingly great shelved Brenda Halloway tracks. youtu.be/zxOF_DlRDUc?...
Happy new year - on today's episode, a selection of the finest music from 2025, with @bobmouldmusic.bsky.social, @sparksofficial.bsky.social, @liquidmikeband.bsky.social, @illuminatihotties.bsky.social, @ronsexsmith.bsky.social, @emmaswiftsings.bsky.social and more! www.podomatic.com/podcasts/ste...
Comparing the Archive version with the one now on YouTube, it looks like it was edited to remove a voiceover about a victim's current location and to blur shots that could possibly identify that location.
Or, if you'd rather stream these selections as a playlist:

Apple Music: music.apple.com/us/playlist/...
