Baxie talks to Hayley Cain--lead singer of Hayley & The Crushers! After four albums the band is about to release their latest EP "Unsubscribe from the Underworld". It's a great collection of five infectious pop-fueled Punk songs. It is the best record that they've ever released. And it's gotten the full endorsement from people like Josie Cotton (who signed the band to her Kitty Robot record label) and the legendary Paul Roessler who produced the record! It's a totally solid piece of work. And Hayley is an absolute blast! Listen on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Spotify, Rock102.com, or on the all new Rock102 mobile app!

In this episode Baxie talk to former Happy Monday's guitarist Kav Sandhu. Next month Kav is releasing the album "Northern Gentleman" as Blitz Vega. This was a collaboration between himself and the late Andy Rourke--former bass player for the Smiths. Although the record was scheduled to be released in 2022, those plans were cut short due to Andy's declining health. Last year, following his death of pancreatic cancer at the age of 59, Andy urged Kav to go ahead and release the album. It's a powerful and poignant story. The record is not only amazing, it also includes guitar performances from Johnny Marr. This is the first time that Andy and Johnny had played together since The Smiths broke up 37 years ago!

She's also had numerous collaborations with the likes of Evan Dando of The Lemonheads and Paul Westerberg of The Replacements. Juliana talks about all of that, songwriting, touring, and many of her hits like "My Sister"(1993), "Spin the Bottle"(1994), and "Universal Heart-Beat"(1995).

It's a very special BONUS episode of Baxie's Musical Podcast! This time I talk with Jon Ginoli of Pansy Division! In 1991 Pansy Division became the first openly gay rock band in history! It was a band that combined an irreverent sense of humor with great songwriting, solid musicianship, relentless touring, and whole lot of fun! They're significant because they spoke to a entire population of youth who, at the time, were unable to live their lives without the fear of being stigmatized, discriminated against, or worse! Thankfully things have changed dramatically since 1991. But Pansy Division continues to play every year since! In fact, they'll be at the Faces Brewing Company in Malden, Massachusetts on September 19th! It promised to be a total blast! Listen on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Spotify, Rock102.com, and on the Rock102 app!

Baxie talks to the legendary John Doe from X! For the last 47 years X has been one of the most important and respected bands in America. Not only do two of their albums reside amongst Rolling Stones Magazine's list of the Top 500 Greatest Albums of All Time (1980's Los Angeles and their 1981 follow-up Wild Gift), they just released the final album of their career--"Smoke and Fiction". And to be honest, it's arguably one of the best albums that they've released in years! John talks about that, their "Final Tour" (including their upcoming show at the Wilbur Theater in Boston on September 23rd), their fans, being produced by the late Ray Manzarek of The Doors, his bandmates (Exene Cervenka, Billy Zoom, and DJ Bonebreak) and much more! This one is a real treat! Listen on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Spotify, and on the Rock102 app for you iPhone or Android!

It's another SPECIAL BONUS EPISODE! Baxie journalist Patrick Clarke—the deputy editor of the British music and pop culture website The Quietus! Patrick has just released his new book entitled “Bedsit Land: The Strange Worlds of Soft Cell”. It’s an incredible story of how two art school students accidentally became the most successful British synth-pop duos of the 80’s. The book not only talks about how Marc Almond and David Ball took a largely forgotten 1964 single by Gloria Jones and turned it into a massive international hit (Tainted Love), the book also talks about came next!

Baxie talks to one of his all-time favorites—multi-instrumentalist Harold “Happy” Chichester! Happy’s incredible career began with the Columbus, Ohio based band The Royal Crescent Mob! This was a band that was (and continues to) to hold a special place in my home collection of entirely too many records. But his career hardly stopped there. He was a one-time member of The Afghan Whigs, The Twilight Singers, and Howlin’ Maggie! On top of that he’s release three amazing solo records. He was also heavily courted by Dave Grohl to join The Foo Fighters (an offer he turned down to keep working on his own music). Grohl has even referred to him as one of the best songwriters in America (which I agree with!). It’s a special episode with a guy that I’ve wanted to talk to for the last 40 years. And it was totally worth the wait!!! Listen on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Spotify, and on the Rock102 app
