Baxie welcomes back NY Times bestselling biographer Bill Janovitz! Bill is about to release his next book on September 25th “The Cars: Let the Stories Be Told”. His previous biography about the late Leon Russell was one of the best Rock biographies that I had read in years. The new book is every bit as great! On top that, Bill is also the lead singer and guitarist for the Massachusetts-based band Buffalo Tom! They’ll be at the Please Come to Boston Festival in November! Just a great conversation! Listen on Apple, YouTube, Spotify, and on the Rock102 app!

Baxie talks to the former editor of Alternative Press, Jason Pettigrew. Jason has just published an excellent in-depth look at Ministry’s 1988 classic album "The Land of Rape and Honey". The book, which is a part of the 33 1/3 album series, dives into the amazing story of Ministry’s Al Jorgensen and his defiant reluctance of becoming an aggressively groomed major label synth-popstar.  Instead, he would go on to release not only one of the important albums of the 1980's but one of the influential recordings in Industrial music history. This is one of the great stories in music history! Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and on the Rock102 app!

Baxie talks to producer/multi-instrumentalist Phil Galloni.  After years of running his own studio in Los Angeles and producing a number of notable projects, Phil has just released his first full length of his own music as Waverly Drive. Make no mistake. This is far more than just some pet side project. Phil is a legitimate talent whose new album “Decadence” is an exceptional first effort that’s definitely worth checking out!

Baxie talks to drummer Greg Langston. This is an unbelievable story about Greg’s time with the Sea Hags. This was a band that had been set to become “The Next Guns n Roses”.  But due to a series of unfortunate circumstances and bad decisions the band began to implode just before they had a chance to record their one and only studio album. This was a band that had everything going their way until it suddenly didn’t. In fact, Greg talks about the Sea Hags even having their early demos produced by Kirk Hammet from Metallica and the great Siliva Masse (Johnny Cash, Tool, RHCP). Greg talks about that, his previous work with both No Alternative and Tuxedo Moon, getting fired from the band, and about the release of a previously unavailable live recording of the Sea Hags which has just been released on Liberation Hall records (“Dead & Gone”). Just an amazing and heartbreaking story of a band that missed it by THAT much! Listen wherever you find podcasts and on the Rock102 app!

Baxie talks to Rock & Roll Hall of Famer John McFee of the Doobie Bros! Despite being the Doobie’s lead guitar player for the last 46 years, John McFee’s amazing career has taken him from playing with Van Morrison, Steve Miller, Nick Lowe, Rick James, and many others. He was also in the band Clover which not only backed up Elvis Costello on his first album—the band would eventually become Huey Lewis & The News. In 1990 John started a project with Keith Knudsen from the Doobie Bros and Stu Cook from CCR.  Together they recorded an album under the name Jackdawg. Unfortunately, that was shelved before it got released following the death of their manager. The record would go unreleased for 18 years. This year the record is being given a proper reissue on Liberation Hall Records. An amazing story! Listen on Apple, Spotify and YouTube.
