Before we begin, we’re going to celebrating the lead up to our 200th episode by bringing back the original concept for the show. For the next three episodes, we’ll each be picking an album that we want everyone to check out. Greg’s up first next week with the album “Thrust” by Herbie Hancock. Give it a listen before the show!

Nick kicks the week off with a story from the NY Times about a mid-50s folk artist named Connie Converse and her mysterious disappearance in 1974.

Songs:

• Connie Converse - “Talkin’ Like You (Two Tall Mountains)”

• Connie Converse - “Trouble”

Greg was discussing the Spiderman series Maximum Carnage with his son Jackson when they came upon an old Sega game with the same name.

Greg brings us the strange story behind the self-declared “Worst Band in the World,” including how it has over 780 active members…

Songs:

• Green Jellÿ - “Three Little Pigs”

• Green Jellÿ - “Maximum Carnage (8Bit)”

Finally Jay brings us the 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and we do some serious whittling. In the end we decided Willie Nelson, Rage Against the Machine & Kate Bush earned their spots and the rest…not yet.
