๐จ๐๏ธ **S7.E7: The History of Drum Machines** ๐๏ธ๐จ
Just as they did last episode with respect to synths, @Page99R and @tnixon16 take a tour through the history of drum machines (and the like) throughout modern music history.
๐๐๐
๐จ๐๏ธ **S7.E6: The History of Synths** ๐๏ธ๐จ
@Page99R takes @tnixon16 on a trip down memory lane, chronicling the history and evolution of the use of synthesizers in pop and rock music, with particular emphasis on the 1970s and 80s.
๐๐๐
One part education, one part exploration, one part adulationโฆthis episode is all about the role that synthesizers played during the evolution of popular music and rock and rollโฆ

New single from Mill House has dropped. A cover of "Almost Woke You Up," by @Stephen_Kellogg. An absolute gem of a composition, that I did my best (perhaps in vain) to pay homage to.

๐จ๐๏ธ **S7.E5: One-Hit Wonders, 1976-1984** ๐๏ธ๐จ
Letโs talk one-hit-wonders, starting with the 50th anniversary of the single-hitting chart toppers of 1976. Then, letโs fast forward to โthe day the boat sankโ โ 1984. ๐๐๐
What makes a one-hit wonder a true flash in the pan? What was common to the wonders of 1976, then letโs look at 1984. Same dynamic at play? Whatโs consistent? What changed?
And letโs distinguish between TRUE one-hit-wonders + those who deserve none of the ignominy, shall we?!๐
๐จ๐๏ธ **S7.E4: Battle Royale: REO vs. Supertramp** ๐๏ธ๐จ
In a first for the pod, @tnixon16 and @Page99R pit two albums of the era up against each other, in a 10-round, knock-down-drag-out, winner-take-all Battle Royale fight to the finish! ๐
And donโt forget to follow us over to Substack to keep the conversation going!
