Between Ray and Markus, we have 50+ years of rock and roll radio experience and a thirst to know more! With your input we want to begin to balance the imbalanced. We look forward to connecting and

Peter Gabriel: The Cycle

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/05/08

The idea for this episode came from a quote, now lost, even to Google apparently, that the first four Peter Gabriel solo albums are actually a large song cycle. In exploring possible sonic connections, researching and producing this episode, we discovered evidence of that being the case. Both within each of the self-titled albums, and between them... The individual moments within the songs on the individual albums may have drawn us there. It's those tangents that touch in the ether. The intangible

It's our belief that more people know OF Dead Kennedys, and their incendiary leader Jello Biafra, than actually know the band, and their music. Markus and Ray look to change that this week for the kickoff of Punk Rock Month 2023! Their part in the San Francisco faction of WC Punk is clear, but we still found things to learn about DKs and the Boys share it all with you!

Riot Grrrl! Punk's Feminist Revolution!

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/03/20

In reaction to poor treatment in the scene, the Riot Grrrl! movement started with Bikini KIll's Kathleen Hanna's manifesto. Taking the form of a band pamphlet, it spawned a sub-genre in the Punk world, and gave voice to women who liked to kick ass on stage! Markus and Ray dig into the bands, the fans, and this new branch of politics. The long-unsolved murder of Mia Zapata of The Gits only underlined the need for Grrrls to unite! The music was punky, and raw. The politics struck a chord, spawned a

You could say that everything he'd done prior to 1976's Songs In The Key Of Life was leading up to the musical cornucopia that became this landmark double album!

2023/03/06

A progenitor is a person without whom the path of the topic being discussed might be very different. That's the case with Memphis Minnie (not her real name), and Blind Lemon Jefferson (his real name) both of whom laid foundation stones for so much of what Rock & Roll drew upon when it came around. Starting in the 1890s, we follow both artists and their path of influence on future players! Both were superstars in their time, creating the pathways for those to come, some of which are part of our story
