In this special edition of the MMMPod we're celebrating the 40th anniversary of a weird, little-known week-long residency at a small club in New York, where Bob Marley and the Wailers opened up for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.
Holy cow! What a special "Special Double Issue"! Big Boi talks about sex, Crazy Horse guitarist Poncho Sampedro talks about drugs, Dolly Parton, Miranda Lambert and Tanlines have some fun too and a whole bunch of people talking about Joe Strummer, the late leader of The Clash.
Sean Paul, Morrissey, Father John Misty, Paloma Faith, Boyz II Men, Michael Kiwanuka, the Vaccines and Miguel all play crucial roles in this podcast. There's a lot of talk of sex n' drugs, which is why we marked it "Explicit," but really, it's not that raunchy. Enjoy!
This is the third Best Of edition! And this one is all about the medleys. All of the artists you see in the photo collage here (if you can in fact see it on the device you're using) are part of these medleys (some of them are overused, frankly) and it's your duty to guess them all!
BOOM-BOOM-CLAP! Roger Taylor of Queen talks about the "We Will Rock You" beat and the Queen Extravaganza, Ice-T talks about his new movie, The Walkmen talk about chilling out, Santigold talks about getting psyched up and Ian Astbury of the Cult admits freely that his band ripped off AC/DC, but he kinda blames it on Rick Rubin.
Oh my goodness! MORE talk, less ROCK! But who needs music when you have people talking about music? Those people include John Irving, Ira Glass, Regina Spektor, M. Ward, Mike Doughty and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Plus, you'll get to find out once and for all, if Sting does it in the shower! Oh, and yes, we do have a song you will dig by Star Slinger.
If you don't get goosebumps during this show at least once, you are a robot! Music and/or conversation from Alabama Shakes, Bob Marley, Youth Lagoon, Nirvana, Lower Dens, Cloud Nothings, Django Django, Kasabian, Daryl Hall and Gotye are all part of this, the Third Anniversary celebration of the very first MMMPod.
Kool & the Gang are opening for Van Halen?! We go directly to the source to figure out how this happened. That source is Kool himself. We also chat up Zola Jesus, Das Racist, Mark Ronson and of course, Naughty by Nature!
What a great show! Look at the guestlist! Bill Cosby, Mark Wahlberg, Azealia Banks, Marc Maron, Lenny Kravitz, The Do, (or The Dø) and Fred Armisen of Portlandia and Saturday Night Live all make appearances!
Forget all other holiday-themed music podcasts! This is the one to pay attention to! This program features interviews with people who made famous Christmas songs and a whole lot of music to serve as a soundtrack to decorating your tree or doing whatever you do in December to feel good about being a part of a family or the human race.
