In episode 344 of the podcast, we’re joined by Jason Georgiades (filmmaker) and Sophia Possidon (photographer) to discuss 10 years of ‘Desert Age: A Rock and Roll Scene History’.  We dig into how the documentary was made, some all time stories from Sophia regarding the desert rock scene in the 80’s and 90’s, Jason’s love for origin stories, and the doc getting some additional footage and a re-release in November on YouTube.  The desert rock scene is something we’ve loved from afar, from Kyuss to Queens of the Stone Age and all the bands surrounding it. We think you’ll really dig the documentary.  If you’re in the Palm Springs area on November 7, 2026, there will be a screening and Q&A with participants in the film. Tickets can be acquired here.

In episode 340 of the podcast, we discuss an old favorite: great opening tracks.  How important is the first song on an album? More than you might think. A great opening track can set the mood, establish a sound, introduce a story, or grab your attention so completely that you know you’re in for something special. For the third time, we’re digging into some of the greatest album opening tracks ever recorded. From explosive introductions and unforgettable hooks to atmospheric scene-setters and songs that immediately announce an artist’s intentions, this episode celebrates the tracks that know exactly how to open an album.

In episode 338 of the podcast, we take a look back at the way things were in music…..”Back In My Day”. We each bring a few scenarios to the table from the turn of the century: Was it easier to discover music? What was it like buying concert tickets? How did we find out about albums/shows?

In episode 337 of the podcast, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Slipknot’s ‘IOWA’, the landmark album released in 2001 that pushed the boundaries of just how heavy mainstream metal could get. We look back on our early memories of ‘IOWA’, how we first connected with the record, the context surrounding Slipknot and heavy music in 2001, and what made the album feel so dangerous and different at the time. We also dig into the album itself — the songs, sound, production, imagery, and intensity — before looking at ‘IOWA‘s lasting legacy and its influence on the heavy music that followed. Twenty-five years later, ‘IOWA’ remains one of the defining heavy albums of its era, and we continue to ride for it. Long live the ’Knot.
