Musical Musings: Sleeve Notes - Rubber Soul

October 12, 2026 · 2 hr 29 min

This week we start a new series. Musical Musings: Sleeve Notes takes one album and goes through it from the sleeve to the run-out groove: what it means to us, what the critics made of it, the outtakes, and, when there's a fresh reissue…
In The Mix: New Wave Friday Pt 2

October 9, 2026 · 59 min

October 5, 2026 · 1 hr 2 min

Armando Venditti has sat in the Musical Musings chair for Saga, Rush, Pink Floyd and The Tea Party, so when the host of The Music Den announced that his next subject was ABBA, a few eyebrows went up. They shouldn't have. Prog and classic…
In the Mix: Power Pop Friday Vol 4

October 2, 2026 · 57 min

Nobody has ever managed to define power pop, and John Borack, who has written a book about it, says nobody ever will — with one exception: KISS isn’t it. He wrote a great column on the Remember The Lightning blog (well worth supporting)…
