Rock n Roll Grad School #193 Carbon Leaf
Carbon Leaf have been around since the 90's and their newest record, "Time is the Playground," is out on September 27th. It's everything you want in a great pop/rock record. We sat down with lead singer/songwriter Barry Privett about the record, what makes a great mix tape song and, of course, the satanic panic of the 80s.
For more information, you can check out Carbon Leaf's website (www.carbonleaf.com/), or you can follow them on Facebook ( carbonleaf).

We talked with lead singer, songwriter Monique Powell about reptiles, opera music and, of course, which Dead Kennedy's song they can't play for children. (Well, one specific song.)

Rock n Roll Grad School #181 Noel on whether there's More To Life Than Dancing
zhlédnutí 900Před 2 měsíci
You may not have heard of Noel, but if you listen to this show, you've definitely heard us sing the praises of two people who wrote and produced a record for her. Ron and Russell Mael from Sparks made "Is There More To Life Than Dancing?" for Noel shortly after completing their "No. 1 Song in Heaven" album. Noel's record is more of the same great dance music.

Rock n Roll Grad School #178-The db's
zhlédnutí 39Před 3 měsíci
Here's a fun fact that we (and likely most db's fans) didn't know- their debut record has never been available on vinyl in the US. Thankfully, that wrong will be righted when "Stands for DeciBels" comes out on vinyl on June 6th. We talked with drummer Will Rigby about revisiting the record that started it all. (And, is there more material in the wings?) For more information, you can join the ba...
