Stephanie & Stephanie Talk Tunes

This episode was originally released Jan. 25, 2022. We hope you enjoy this encore episode.

Co-host Stephanie Myers has long considered herself a Meat Loaf superfan -- she saw him in concert 13 times, has every album, and has seen all his movies. After his tragic Jan. 20 passing, she's looking back on lots of amazing memories, ranging from meeting him after a show to interviewing him for an article. What she's sharing here today are not only her stories and memories connected to his music and legacy, but also the previously unreleased audio from that 2010 interview, shortly after the release of his album "Hang Cool Teddy Bear." Meat was his usual warm self in this interview, and we want to share that side of him with you on this episode. Meat talks with Stephanie about the album, touring, the music industry, and even the music he enjoyed at the time (including Foo Fighters/Dave Grohl and Kings of Leon). The Stephanies hope you enjoy it. Rest well, Meat.

It's hard to overstate the importance of legendary and massively influential band Sonic Youth. We talk about how Thurston and Kim's breakup led to the band's breakup, the iconic "Bull in the Heather" music video, and of course, our memories and stories we connect to the music -- including what it was like to see Sonic Youth play live, and the surprise of being seated next to Thurston at a David Bowie tribute. On the way, we talk about summer music festival season, old-school concert bootlegging, Rob Zombie, Static X and Mudvayne. Enjoying the show?

We're here to kick out the jams for you today, Talk Tuners, as we talk about our memories and stories connected to MC5's "Kick Out the Jams!" Join us as we talk about the band's origins in anti-racist movements, their story and evolution over the years, what it was like seeing them play on a bill with Sun Ra in Central Park, and hanging in the music-centric NYC nightlife scene alongside their contemporaries.

Tempe, Arizona darlings the Gin Blossoms broke on the scene in the early '90s, but there's so much of their story you don't often hear. We talk about the history of the band and the song "Hey Jealousy," band member Doug Hopkins' sad story, the legacy of the band, Stephanie M's crush on Robin Wilson, and even how the Gin Blossoms recently had a road named after them.

On the way, we also talk about the transcendence of recently seeing Willie Nelson play and how he's about to step into the role of music's coolest nonagenarian.

We're taking a break for the holidays and will see you DEC. 21 for our holiday episode, and for a brand-new season 3 on Jan. 4!

And as always, hear about the memories and stories we connect with the music that has shaped our lives.

On the way, we talk about live music we've seen recently, including Joyous Wolf at the soon-to-be-sunsetted Viper Room, and what's next for Los Angeles music venues.
