    October 12, 2026 · 2 hr 29 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)…
