Our latest jag had been discussing what makes a great second album.
We're breaking from tradition again. Sometimes we just want to take an episode to shed some light on an overlooked record or maybe one that the artist would just as soon you overlook. Such is …
Long live the fighters! Thanks to Augie (Fair Warning), and Corrie (Dune Expert) for joining us to express our many thoughts about the new Dune movie. From Harkonnen haircuts to "Eyes of Ibad" and …
Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart. They just go together like the best of them. Lennon and McCartney, Hall and Oats, and Gin and Tonic.
Chris is back in the country and in studio. For real. Let's go.
"Thriller" by Michael Jackson...
We know.
We were still young men once.
We entered the pop landscape in the early 80's.
We didn't know then.
There were "Titans" everywhere you looked.
Few of them h…
There are things that come and go from our lives. There are musical artists that make their marks and fade from view. Hemlines go up. Hemlines go down. It appears to us at TNE, that as long as she…
Funky psychedelia and cutting-edge studio technique led to lots great music in 1970. The Isley Brothers, Sly and the Family Stone, Jimi Hendrix. They all added their pieces but one band has come to…
Jersey July comes to a close. Don't act like we weren't going to let "The Boss" close the show the whole time. Come stroll down the boardwalk with our esteemed guest and New Jersey native, Steve Wh…
Jersey July rolls on! Steve-O is back in the studio to enjoy "Slave To The Grind" with us. He'll explain life on the Shore, how he could have met Sebastian Bach but didn't, and lastly, how much it …
You take the record advance money. You trick out your uncle's "Booga Basement". Buy some gear and build this thing from the ground up. Pras, Lauryn, and Wyclef settle "the score" after a lackluster…
What can you say about David Lee Roth that hasn't already been said about herpes? It started out with a good time and now he's with us forever. Listen along as we enjoy the second album from the fo…
This week, we're getting emo AF. Jeremy Enigk, late of Sunny Day Real Estate, released his second solo album in 2006 and we're gonna listen to it and have emotions about it.
Get ready to get soaking wet in this "quiet storm" with us. The smoothest saxes, the slipperiest basslines, and that voice. THAT voice. Time to stop frontin' and get into this "sweetest taboo".
Well, we finally got here. Joy Division's second album, "Closer". After this, we swear we're going to cover something light hearted and joyful. Honestly, after a month of post-punk, we're all gonna…
The "High Priestess Of Punk" herself, and her Banshees released this post-punk masterpiece before there was even a word for it. Goth before it was a thing. Though not looked at as one of their "gre…
Ffffffresh from 40+ years ago, we get into the Tubeway Army's second album, "Replicas". Synth-pop pioneers with a secret weapon. I can't keep a secret. This is Gary Numan's old band! Yes. THE Gar…
On The Next Episode...
We travel back to 1983 to visit the juggernaut that was "Colour By Numbers" by Culture Club. After the drab 70's Boy George and Co. drop this explosion of Day-Glow soul/reggae/…
We have a guest this week! Holy crap! Please welcome Darcie Pfiefle into "Studio 117" as she helps us dissect and come to terms with Amy's final album. There will be laughs, tears, and genuine confu…
This week, we get a little more familiar with Foreigner and their second album, "Double Vision". Well, we wanted to be down with this album so hard. In the end, were we? Check it and see.
We close out Black History Month with "The Voice" herself, Whitney Houston. 1987 was a great year for music. Probably because of this album. God save the "Queen".
Join us as we come full circle with the mighty TLC. Not just "Waterfalls, and Creep(in). Some of the smoothest, horniest, and funniest tracks lay in wait as we dive into Atlanta's representation du…
