  #177 - Burning Man Documentary

  Oct 3, 20261h 4m

  Left to their own devices, Rob and Alan take a trip to the Nevada desert for BURNING MAN! Well, we watched the new documentary about it, anyway! The Man Will Burn is a new docuseries from HBO Films that came out in July. The film series explores the origins and development of the festival as well as the art, the music, the philosophy, and the challenges that it faced from COVID, extreme weather, and internal and external opposition. Afterward, we talk about new music from Simple Minds and U2, seeing Brandi Carlile live, and we go on a doozy of an old man rant about how no one cares about live music anymore!

  #175 - DOLLY

  Sep 4, 20261h 8m

  The heart of the world was broken on August 25, 2026 when the news came out that legendary singer, musician, songwriter, actor, businesswoman and philanthropist Dolly Parton passed away. Dolly was as close to a universally-loved artist as you'll ever find. We are joined in the studio this week by Emmy Award-winning Good Day Atlanta feature reporter Paul Milliken, who met and interviewed Dolly numerous times over the years, to remember the icon. We talk about how her Appalachian upbringing influenced her life and career, the impact of her music, her film career, her extraordinary efforts as a humanitarian, and more. We'd love to hear from you! Please share your memories of Dolly with us and we'll include them in our next episode.

  Alan's Record Bin #6 - HEAVY METAL (The Movie)

  Aug 15, 202627 min

  The animated film Heavy Metal, based on the adult sci-fi fantasy comic magazine of the same name, was released 45 years ago on August 7, 1981, and while it wasn't a big box office smash, it became a cult classic and (at the time) something of a rite of passage. The iconic soundtrack featured great songs by Black Sabbath, Blue Öyster Cult, Cheap Trick, Journey, Don Felder, Devo, Stevie Nicks, Grand Funk Railroad, and others. This was a hugely important film for me in the fall after my graduation from high school, and on this week's show, I'll play for you some of my favorite tunes from the album and tell you the stories behind them. If you remember Heavy Metal from the glory days, or if you're watching it now for the first time, I'd love to hear from you!
