Riffs That Changed The World

It has been 4 months since my last episode and an update is WAY overdue. Sorry my small group of loyal listeners. That said, I don't want to give away too much, but as they say in corporate land - a pivot - is at hand. Listen to learn more and hopefully they'll be more than a podcast to listen to from me in the near future.

No Spotify, No Problem - we've got you. Here's part 2 of Eric Deneen of the Motor Control. It's got a bit of everything all wrapped in a Thanksgiving bow. Let's Get Down!

Thanksgiving Spectacular for our non-Spotify listeners. You may not have the music but you DO have Eric Deneen of the Motor Control. It's all good, right?

Professor Bonnie Hayes joins us at the Riffs That Change The World studios. I could give you a full description of her musical exploits and accomplishments, but why. Just LISTEN TO THIS and you will hear everything you need to know. You'll also be much more complete as a human being in the process. It's our best yet and I am proud to have Bonnie be a part of this experiment. Here's Bonnie!!! [Non-Spotify Version - No Music]

Leo may be young, but he has large ambitions - you know, change the music we listen to at its core - no biggie. That said, this is what you want in the future creators of our cherished music - bold statements and grand visions. I'm betting on Leo to take us to places we didn't know we even wanted to go both musically and emotionally. Leo and I discuss the "younger" generation, what it means to be a performer and to be a creator. Leo even warms my heart by remembering back to hearing Bizarre Love Triangle while laying on the bed at his parent's party (I might even have been at that party - fancy that). Here's Leo!

On this episode we talk to Michael Ramey alter ego of Golden Death Music, a kick a$$ band born from post punk and prog rock. We talk about what it means to be a modern day one-man band, how much fun band promotion can be and what happens when all of your musical gear is stolen (including, all of your gold masters) while in Colombia (see title above). Michael also tells us about his musical journey and what it's like to be in music retail. Michael was a bit under the weather during the discussion but he soldiered on - you know, 'cause he was talking to me. So, peel back the curtain and let's take a look inside the modern music industry. Here's Michael!

FOR PODCAST DISTRIBUTION PLATFORMS OTHER THAN SPOTIFY - if you can, listen on Spotify for the FULL musical experience. We welcome Billy Fisk to RTCTW. Some (exactly 2 people) might call him Uncle Bill, but I am here to make it absolutely clear that this is Billy we're talking to! Billy adds some great historical perspective to our music and shows us that we all should be focusing on what matters - The Beatles and the electric guitar (screaming girls is a close 2nd). So let's time travel back to the 60's and 70's and marvel at the generation that grabbed the electric guitar and turned it into whatever the hell they wanted to.
