My Weekly Mixtape: A Playlist Curation Podcast

This week, I am joined by Joe Bonamassa, and we’re diving into the stories behind the songs from throughout his entire discography. We also discuss: his collection of over 650 vintage guitars; his use of volume swells in his music (for example his solo in the title track to “Blues Deluxe,” the song that introduced me to his music); his approach to cover-songs such as “Sloe Gin” (originally written by Bob Ezrin & recorded by actor & singer Tim Curry) and “Prisoner” (originally recorded by Barbara Stresiand); his approach to unique live albums, including his latest release "Live At The Hollywood Bowl w/ Orchestra;” his release of "Better The Devil You Know" (a song he co-wrote with Journey’s Jonathan Cain) to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of his “Different Shades Of Blue” album; his musical / career expiration date; his Journeyman LLC venture, which is currently focused on Joanne Shaw Taylor & Robert Jon & The Wreck, and more!  Be sure to visit MyWeeklyMixtape.com to hear all of the songs we discussed in this episode, and join the My Weekly Mixtape Discord Server via the link on the episode page!

This week’s guest curator is Ed Cunard, co-host of Fawkes & Friends, and we're crafting a two-pronged mixtape this week. On one side: we offer PSA's on some of the biggest karaoke cliches we've each seen over the years. And on the other: the songs that’ll set off a sing-along like nobody’s business! We also talk about Karaoke etiquette (yes, there is such a thing!) and the differences a regional perspective can bring to the songs!  Be sure to visit MyWeeklyMixtape.com to hear all of the songs we discussed in this episode, and join the My Weekly Mixtape Discord Server via the link on the episode page!

This week’s guest curator is Tony G., co-host of Podioslave, and we're crafting a mixtape filled with the best songs from across Rage Against The Machine’s catalog.  And to make things as difficult as possible on an already tough band to whittle down: since RATM only had 4 studio albums, a few b-sides / soundtrack cuts and some live material, we’re making this ep. even more challenging, because instead of our usual 20 song format, this playlist will only consist of 10 songs!

This week, my guest curator is Jason Whissell, host of both the It's Not That Bad & There Can Only Be One podcasts, & on this extremely fun episode, we're curating a playlist of songs that feature the lyric whoa (or "woah," depending on how you choose to spell it!) in some capacity. While we use the word whoa a lot in the episode, we made sure not to go whoa-verboard. You’re whoa-come! OK, I’ll stop now.
