Saying goodbye to a simpler age, we step into a vibrant discussion about Paul and the Tall Trees, whose music has the swagger of a Tarantino score. It's a reflection of times when discovery was a live, unmediated thrill—a reminder of the sheer joy of stumbling upon a new favorite sound in a crowded room. From there, we orbit around the Pitchfork readers' choice of the 200 best albums, an odyssey through time that resurrects the ghosts of CDs past and the tactile allure of vinyl. Brian, the artistic genius behind our branding, gets his due as we fold in tales of personal endurance, like the cathartic slog of half marathons, and the changes life throws our way.
The heart of our chat beats to the rhythm of a heated debate over music rankings, where the fervor of Pearl Jam's fanbase clashes with the subjective nature of rating art. We explore the hip-hop landscape, tipping our hats to Kendrick Lamar's genius while admitting our hearts still beat strongest for the '90s classics. The strains of The Strokes echo through our conversation on the NYC indie scene, and we're not shy about questioning the scarcity of groundbreaking female artists in those top album lists. The raw emotion of Radiohead's 'In Rainbows' sweeps us up in a discussion that's as much about the resonance of music as it is about cultural critique.
As the episode winds down, we swerve into a contemplative lane, musing on the emotional heft of albums like David Bowie's 'Blackstar', and the enduring anthems of the White Stripes, which seem to transcend time itself. With an eye on the rearview mirror, we reminisce about cult films like "Mallrats" and their quirky soundtracks, before I share a slice of my world—from the thrill of live music to the personal challenges and triumphs of marathon running. So, whether you're jogging to the beat or simply soaking in the soundscapes, join us, Anthony and the ever-talented Brian, for an episode that dances through the cultural fabric of our lives.www.TheTouringFanLive.com

It's all about those complex blends—whether in a glass or the Seattle music scene—creating a taste that lingers long after the last note fades.
Seattle shows up in force for its own with the remarkable work of Smash, providing healthcare to local musicians.

This special episode is not just a trip down memory lane—it's a kaleidoscope of candid discussions, from Mary J. Blige's commanding presence to the subversive acts like Jane's Addiction that left an indelible imprint on alternative rock. We don't just scratch the surface; we examine the fabric of music history, questioning the Rock Hall's selection process, and propose whether it's time for it to evolve into a Music Hall of Fame to reflect the rich diversity of today's nominees.
Feel the pulse of the industry as we turn the spotlight onto the commercial dynamics that can make or break a career in the ever-changing world of music.

Brian Meth's uncle never could have predicted that a Jose Feliciano concert would lead to a Led Zeppelin opening – a story so rich in the unexpected it could only have been real life. It’s tales like these that fueled our latest jam session at the "Necessary List," where we found ourselves tangled in the vibrant history of music videos. Joined by the illustrious poster artist and my dear comrade, Brian, we pored over the kaleidoscope of visuals that have become as iconic as the songs they accompany. From Madonna's boundary-pushing "Like a Prayer" to the theatrical masterpiece that is Michael Jackson's "Thriller," we celebrated the symbiotic dance between sound and sight.
Our studio in Kansas City was alive with the electric charge of nostalgia as we scrutinized and debated Rolling Stone's top music video rankings. With each riff and chorus, we dissected the cultural ripples of videos like "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel and reflected on those that challenged the status quo – think Childish Gambino's "This Is America." But it wasn't just a journey into the past; we cast our gaze forward to the future of visual storytelling in music, weighing in on recent creations and the shifting landscape of media consumption.
As the 100th episode of "Another Unecessary List" unfurled before us, we were reminded of the gratitude we have for those who tune in. We teased a little about the future – the website's redesign and the new content we're itching to share. With Brian by my side, we wrapped up feeling amped about where music videos have been and excited for where they're headed. So whether you’re in it for the memories or eager to spot the next big thing, our studio's doors are open, and the records are spinning.www.TheTouringFanLive.com

Our studio's gotten a facelift with new instruments, tech, and dreams of live sessions that promise to get your heart pumping to the rhythm of our favorite beats. This episode is a celebration of new beginnings, from the shiny cables lining our studio floor to the personal milestones that make the journey worthwhile. My 15-year adventure with Heather intertwines with musings on the butterfly effect, painting a picture of how every choice weaves the intricate tapestry of our lives.
You'll hear about my own hiatus escapades, which took me from the sun-soaked beaches of Mexico to the quest for the perfect slice of Kansas City pizza. A fitness journey that sprouted from holiday indulgences has found its way to TikTok, where you can join me in the pursuit of health, sweat, and the elusive runner's high. But it's not just personal transformations we're talking about; get the lowdown on Pearl Jam's rumored new sounds, tours, and the thrill of a guitar riff that feels like it's been crafted just for our collective air-guitar fantasies.
We wrap up with a heartfelt conversation on Pearl Jam's tour dates that span the globe, the whispers of a surprise album drop that echo "Gigaton," and the soul-stirring power of tracks like "Sirens" and "Man of the Hour." These are more than just songs; they're the companions to our life's most poignant moments. And because no jam session is complete without the perfect pairing, we recount the tale of Drew Bledsoe's transformation from NFL quarterback to vintner, exploring how wine, just like music, has the power to anchor us to memories, emotions, and each other. Come for the tunes, stay for the stories—let's celebrate this symphony of life together.www.TheTouringFanLive.com

Reminiscing about the rollercoaster ride of the tour, we couldn't help but discuss how the pandemic colored this experience and what this spells for our future concert trips.
Imagine our surprise when we heard 'Marker in the Sand' - a song that hadn't been played in 86 shows! We jumped into a deep exploration of how the song's dynamics create an almost sacred chorus and the homage it pays to the band's storied history and devoted fans. For us, a Pearl Jam concert has the warmth of a family reunion, and we're looking forward to being part of this musical journey once again.

We push the boundaries of this discussion, scrutinizing these musicians and their legitimate claim to the title of 'masters.'

We also touch upon upcoming releases like 'The Beanie Bubble', 'Blackberry', and 'Tetris', analyzing the potential of these films and their impact on the audience.

I recently hit the pavement for a couple of half marathons and 10Ks, while my buddy Trey spent a weekend at his winery enjoying a Fleetwood Mac tribute band. As we compare our different, yet equally incredible experiences, we find ourselves marveling at the transformative power of music and its impact on people of all ages. In this special episode of Let's Talk Vinyl, we discuss two songs from Pearl Jam's 2013 album, Lightning Bolt, while also delving into the world of wine and its intriguing marketing tactics.
Trey and I raise our glasses to a particular Cabernet Sauvignon that claims to be made for active people who prefer low sugar content. Is the marketing misleading, or is there truth to these health benefits? We discuss the technology behind cross flow filtration and even take a look at a video showcasing the wine's marketing strategies. And of course, we don't forget about our main attraction, Pearl Jam. We touch on the filtering process used in winemaking and its effect on taste and quality, and even share our dream bottles of wine at different budgets.
As we reminisce about our personal experiences with music, running, and parenting, we can't help but also discuss the passing of renowned poster artist Frank Kozik. We pay tribute to his memory by sharing some of our favorite encounters with him and his work. In addition, we explore Pearl Jam's 2013 album Lightning Bolt, discussing the songs "My Fathers Son" and "Pendulum," the bass-heavy sound, and the statement it makes. We wrap up by discussing the upcoming Pearl Jam tour with special guest Brad Laing, ticket situations, and set lengths, while also speculating about their future performances. Join us on this musical and vinicultural journey, and let's raise a toast to the power of music and wine!
