  • A fun look back

    While not every episode is about a era I want to listen to, I love hearing Dan and guest chat about it.

    Almost had to knock a star off due to Dan having an insane take on Night Drive by Jimmy Eat World while not even playing the best clip. Hopefully he finds some time to be introspective and realize he is a maniac.

  • Loving these

    I love music but have almost no musical ability or technical knowledge. It’s great to listen to Dan + (insert guest) talk about music I love in a ways I couldn’t get to on my own.

  • My wife is less annoyed

    I often analyze music and genres to my wife that doesn’t care about that. So it is fun to have this outlet to listen to Dan and his friends “nerd out” on the inescapable music that has been stuck in my head for the past 41 years!
