  • Great podcast

    Really good podcast, which usually helps me decide whether or not to buy a book on music.

    Eric used to do another podcast which I really loved where he would breakdown a bands history, very insightful and good production values. Miss that!

  • The Podcast for Music Fans That Gets You in Deeper Than a Bookworm

    Eric Senich gets music and draws out of great authors who also gets music. Senich has you “covered” driving deep into stories of bands, albums, and songs and giving you that backstage pass that’s truly behind the music, no VH-1 pun intended. Senich is a true music connoisseur and brings you from one end of the spectrum to another with bands such as Sisters of Mercy to Led Zeppelin, to The Doors, to Tom Petty, to KISS, to The Cure, and to his near and near Eddie Van Halen. I find myself “cha... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inside Stereolab: Their Story Told in 20 Essential Songs [Episode 367]
Q: Why choose the 20-song framework to tell the story rather than a linear biography?
The framework allows exploring a wider variety of material and moods, letting the catalog drive the narrative while enabling jumps across time to illustrate the band's evolution and experimentation.
Inside Stereolab: Their Story Told in 20 Essential Songs [Episode 367]
Q: Tell us about the origins of the band and the core duo that drove Stereolab.
The origins center on Tim Gane and Letitia Sadier, with Letitia from Paris and Tim from Essex, who connected through the English–French cultural mix and formed the core duo that sustained the band across many lineup changes.
The CBGB Conspiracy: Murder in New York ’77 [Episode 368]
Q: Is the CBGB Conspiracy ultimately a murder mystery or a story about a moment in time that was destined to end?
It's both: the book started as a murder mystery but ultimately forms a historical novel that captures a moment in time and shows how that era's events and people shaped the present-day New York City.
Use Your Illusion I & II: The Epic Gamble That Defined Guns N’ Roses [Episode 371]
Q: What were the biggest production shifts during the Illusion era?
The shift included a move toward cinematic arrangements, extensive use of piano/ keyboards, and a desire to align with classic rock legends rather than just heavy metal, as reflected in choices like Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney on the album.
Use Your Illusion I & II: The Epic Gamble That Defined Guns N’ Roses [Episode 371]
Q: How long did it take Jeff Harkness to put this book together?
Harkness notes it took several years of research, interviews, and meticulous digging into rehearsals, demos, and archival material to capture the Illusion era in depth.
