What Do We Know?

“Music isn’t what it used to be!” Every generation says this. But is this just the fading battle cry of each generation as they lose their grip on relevance, or is this actually a legitimate change in mainstream music...

On today's bonus episode, we've got a podcast update. What could it be about? Has Mike started a new band? Has Danny been invited to Antarctica? Has Mike finally left the Rush cult? Has Danny become a Swiftie? Click on...

Mark Baynes and Danny McCrum used to play in bands together, until a handful of misunderstandings and a disagreement about a hat ended it. No bad blood, just a parting of ways that's lasted exactly twenty years. Since...

Loosely nicknamed 'Mike's Revenge', the guys return for round two of Music Trivia. This is the game that reveals just how unqualified our two hosts are to run a music podcast. Listen to them hesitate and struggle to...

Is metal just classical music in a leather jacket? Danny and Mike have been asking a simple question: does genre actually describe the music, or just everything wrapped around it? Strip a metal riff back to its bones...

What's wrong with Danny? When he first floated the idea for this podcast, Mike thought, yeah, sounds like fun. He figured it'd unfold at the usual glacial pace most creative projects do. What he didn't realise is that...

Come one, come all, for the very first What Do We Know? Music Trivia episode! This is our opportunity to show just how unqualified we are to host a music podcast. The cards are hard to read, the rules don't make sense...

Mike's off chasing moose and drinking maple syrup in Canada, eh? So this week, drummer Rooney brings in some of his favourite guitarists, while guitarist Danny returns the favour with some of his favourite drummers...

It's crude, it's offensive, and it's far more carefully crafted than it has any right to be. Our two hosts revisit South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut and talk about its incredible soundtrack. Could it be that beneath...

Buzzsprout If a tree falls in the forest and no one's there to hear it, does it make a sound? Not if it doesn't have pickups! But how do those little magnets turn string vibrations into ear-piercing rock 'n' roll riffs...

Andrew Rooney and Danny McCrum are weird. Breaking a variety of stereotypes, these two are both musicians with a mind for business. In today's episode, cohost Mike puts on the interviewing hat to find out how they've...

I warned him. I told him there would be repercussions, no matter how much Botox he used in preparation. Watching Tommy Emmanuel on YouTube is one thing, but seeing him live is another. Mike was excited but didn't take...
