We at The Wolf are very proud to welcome back Scott Holiday to talk about The Wolf's favorite album of 2026 - his new solo album Topology. Created out of music Scott wrote intending to utilize with his world touring band Rival Sons, Scott never intended to make a solo record. But over time pieces he created eventually felt like something that wasn't RS but more personal to Scott. And with help from his RS bandmate Mike Miley (drums) and Jesse Nalen (keyboards) created Topology - the record The Wolf didn't know he needed and thinks you'll love. Holiday (band name stylized HOL1D4Y) creates atmosphere through a pallet of hard rock guitars with spacey and ambient keyboards that lets the mind wander. And with titles like Holotropic, Veridream, Panoptic and Autonomatic, the stage is set for your own self exploration; that is, after you've gone to the internet to look up Astrovore, Paratma and Ataraxia. As you might expect, Scott does sing lead vocals on the six songs that have them but he also plays bass throughout and lays down some wonderful grooves that let everything he and Jesse do over them that much better. The album might just be anchored by the instrumentals which is a non-starter for a lot of rock fans. But the 70s prog of Constellations and the track of the album Crism, which over 12 minutes emits Floydian and No Quarter-ish moods, give the listener the opportunity to make the meaning of the tracks their own, unimpeded by a vocal narrative. Scott tells a great story about Miley providing the drums for the epic and building the song around the drum track - amazing! As we've grown our show over the last 6 years we've communed with many like minded people from around the globe and we are thankful for our rock community. In 2023, we met Scott Holiday as he was promoting his band Rival Sons latest album, Darkfighter (Ep 130). We were admittedly late to the Rival Sons party but love their brand of hard and melodic rock. But when we received an advance copy of Scott's solo album Topology, we were immediately hooked by its psychedelic and atmospheric vibe. The Wolf may sound like a "fanboy" during parts of our chat with Scott but it's hard for an older rocker to find new music that he likes - when we do find it, we're happy to shout about it. It was hard to sit on this album for 2 months but we're psyched for the world to hear it and we could have talked to Scott for hours. Go buy Topology today!

EPYSODE 91: Changin' Times by Ike White. Guest: Producer Jerry Goldstein. Additional commentary by The Psychedelic Wizard, Uncle Herff. This week we explore the incredible true story behind Changin’ Times, the remarkable 1976 album by the mysterious and immensely talented Ike White. Recorded while White was incarcerated in prison, the album blends soulful grooves, funk, rock and a pinch of jazz coupled with deeply personal songwriting into a record unlike anything else of its era. Despite its brilliance, Changin’ Times slipped into obscurity, becoming one of the great forgotten albums of the 1970s until later rediscovery brought renewed attention to White’s singular talent and tragic story. We examine the music and the circumstances surrounding this one-of-a-kind release. Best of all, this epysode features exclusive commentary from producer Jerry Goldstein, who shares firsthand insight into working with Ike, the making of the album, and the extraordinary events behind one of soul music’s most compelling lost treasures. I hope you dig Changin' Times as much as I do. - Farmer John ===LINKS=== Buy yourself a copy of the RSD release of Changin' Times here: https://recordstoreday.com/UPC/081227805456 ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon for as little as $2/month using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Follow Vinyl Relics on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X and BlueSky.

Are you ready to rumble?!? Very few topics seem to provoke as much heated debate as power pop - what (and who) is power pop? This week, we dare tackle our Top 5 Power Pop Songs of the '90s. Raise your pitchforks! Nah, we're not worried...because, truth be told, power pop during the decade would have looked drastically different without our Third Lad this week, Dean Brownrout. As the co-founder of the crucial indie label Big Deal, Dean is responsible for releasing some of the greatest power pop records of the era, including The Wondermints, Gladhands, The Vandalias, the indispensable four volume compilation series Yellow Pills, and many more. Dean recounts his quarter century’s worth of adventures in the music business in his witty, nostalgic, honest memoir No Big Deal (Guernica Editions Inc.). From his beginnings promoting metal and hardcore shows to running pivotal labels, No Big Deal offers a revealing glimpse into the triumphs, tribulations, and tragedies of the last of the record industry’s glory days. No big deal, eh? It's a REALLY big deal 'round these parts, buddy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes Sam Sodomsky, senior editor at Pitchfork and musician behind The Bird Calls, to discuss how a childhood encounter with a “Dancing in the Dark” parody sparked a lifelong Springsteen obsession that led him to guitar, songwriting, and writing about music. Sam shares growing up in Reading, Pennsylvania, collecting bootlegs and books, and even creating a mock Springsteen biography, then traces his path through blogging, an MFA in nonfiction at Columbia, and a decade at Pitchfork. He recounts standout Wrecking Ball Tour memories, including receiving Bruce’s harmonica, singing “Waiting on a Sunny Day” at Jazz Fest, and briefly meeting Bruce and Jon Landau backstage in London. Sam also talks about his new record “Take Leave,” his interest in poetry, his thoughts on Tracks II, and answers the “Mary” question. https://www.instagram.com/samsodomsky/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/4OvIlGI9oNdXSUBTggvQrC?si=qOxLiXqxRci2bWbMyG8zVQ https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/tracking.swap.fm/track/WECs6IXJy7hrnxzkLV9H/traffic.megaphone.fm/PAN9367916550.mp3 00:00 Podcast Intro 00:39 Opening Lyrics Montage 02:22 Meet Sam From Pitchfork 03:35 Growing Up In Reading 04:49 Why Bruce Hit Home 07:57 From Fan To Musician 09:40 Books Bootlegs And Obsession 12:08 Counting Shows And Setlists 14:50 Wrecking Ball Tour Stories 17:05 Onstage At Jazz Fest 20:39 Meeting Bruce Backstage 22:17 Pitchfork Writing Journey 25:08 Brian Wilson Tribute Essay 27:04 Beach Boys Mythos 28:49 Writing Beyond Journalism 30:11 Dream Interviews 31:25 Learning Songcraft 33:17 Springsteen Album Lessons 36:41 New Album Take Leave 40:20 Tracks II Deep Dive 45:30 Future Music Plans 47:23 Thunder Road Mary 50:59 Wrap Up And Plugs Learn more about your ad choices.
