Episode 50. Rush Song with Musician, Guitarist, and Producer Billy Alexander of YYNOT. We’re getting Billy back to go deep on his new solo record, Rock & Roll Diary. Man, do we go deep on topics that shouldn’t surprise you:
· YYNOT’s totally awesome, busy, incredible, remarkable, does it get any effin better than this year
· Billy’s Rock & Roll Diary and what it was like to bring all that music to life
· The mix of styles, influences and inspirations that make the narrative of Rock And Roll Diary an intimate view into the mind, heart, and soul of the musician
· What it’s like producing all the singles and videos as an independent artist
· The 2025 Bubba Bash (Jan 4, Keswick Theater, Glenside PA) and some of the cool stuff up for auction
· How grateful Billy is to be able to promote his album and have a great working family dynamic in YYNOT
· New YYNOT project news and insight into where he’s going next
· His Bandcamp site where on December 6 he’s making the whole album Rock & Roll Diary available direct digital download
The wheel gives us We Hold On from 2007’s Snakes & Arrows, the last song on the album and a deep cut amongst fans. The layers and textures in the guitars leave us little wonder as to why the wheel chose this one for Billy to get to unpack. We even get a few choice, live guitar lessons along the way. It’s truly an exploration in the best RushRash tradition, with plenty of musical digression along the way.
And as always, we don't want you to forget rushvault.com and our friends at RushIsABand.com, as well as our sponsors Danforth & Pape and Podcastle.ai too.

Rush news, general nonsensical disorderly conduct, lack of regard for correctness or truth, and reckless endangerment of your whole-brain. This is one of two of the only podcasts dedicated to increasing opioid release in your anterior insula, your anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and your posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), in addition to the basal ganglia and the thalamus...and all that that implies.
Some thick North Jersey accents and they give you some royalty-free sound effects and movie clips too - what more do you need to indulge your urge to scratch?! Join us - you know where to scratch - blah, blah...RushRash.
