Jay takes us back to 1997 to revisit the album S.C.I.E.N.C.E. by Incubus. The album preceded their commercially successful 1999 album, Make Yourself. It’s heavier and funkier and was the last album to include DJ Life. It is worth a listen, you should check it out.

Songs:

Incubus - “Summer Romance (Anti-Gravity Love Song)”

Incubus - “Deep Inside”

This week on News with Nick, Snoop & Dre collab on a Nashville Gin bar, and we have a selection of music related films coming out soon to discuss.

Song: Tortoise - “Organesson”

Finally, can we talk about Greg Loman for a second? We close the show out with a very special Review the Review. It seems as though a write for SDShowz made it to the Beck’s Bolero & Red Not Chili Peppers’ gig in San Diego last week and, boy oh boy, were they impressed with Greg! We read the whole darn review, we bask in Greg’s awesomeness and we celebrate his modesty. If you wanna read/laugh along, you can find it here: https://sdshowz.com/f/red-not-chili-peppers-beck-bolero-at-house-of-blues-san-diego

Song: Nas - “N.Y. State of Mind”

Greg’s side project, Beck’s Bolero, opened for the Red Not Chili Peppers to a sold out crowd at the House of Blues in San Diego this past weekend. It the group’s first show and Greg shares the experience. The band features Harry Waters on the keys, Greg on guitar, Cain Daniel drums, and Zephyr Avalon on bass.

Songs:

Beck’s Bolero - “Air Blower”

Beck’s Bolero - “Scatterbrain”

Whenever Jay has an melange (or a stew, or a gumbo) of different topics to share, he serves up Jay’s Jambalaya. Jason Isbell eschews the songwriter approach on his new solo acoustic album, King Gizzard has an unreleased documentary called Chunky Shrapnel, and the greatest two-hit wonders as written by Chris Dalla Riva (https://www.cantgetmuchhigher.com/p/the-greatest-two-hit-wonders).

Songs:

Jason Isbell - “Gravelweed”

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - “The River”

We close with Three for Thursday. Nick brings new indie/alternative tracks released in the past month from Moreish Idols, Sharp Pins, and YHWH Nailgun.

Songs:

Moreish Idols - “All In The Game”

Sharp Pins - “With A Girl Like Mine”

YHWH Nailgun - “Tear Pusher”

At the top we have confirmation of a new album by Mars Volta, and speculation of something new from Radiohead. Then, Tempo Music Investments recently acquired a quarter interest in Bruno Mars 2012 song “When I Was Your Man.” The company is now suing Miley Cyrus, claiming exploitation of their copyright for her Grammy winning 2023 hit song “Flowers.” Cyrus claims she wrote it for her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, who reportedly dedicated the song to her in the past. Cyrus’ lyrics seem to respond to the chorus of the Mar song. Does that entitle the new copyright holder to a cut? Apparently that’s for a hurry to decide.

Song: KEG - “Strangers”

Greg shares some Sound Advice from Chick Corea. The legendary & influential jazz pianist and composer laid down some serious wisdom about playing and improvising with other musicians. Greg found and is sharing these nuggets for everyone to reflect on. Also, Beck’s Bolero will be opening for the Red Not Chili Peppers at the House of Blues in San Diego Friday, March 21. Check it out if you’re in the area.

Songs:

Miroslav Vitouš - “Freedom Jazz Dance”

Chick Core - “Humpty Dumpty”

This past Sunday, a 70 year drought ended when Newcastle United beat Liverpool in the EFL Cup Final. Jay has been a fan since childhood and he’s celebrating the win with an album review from Newcastle native Sam Fender. We listened to the title track from “People Watching” a few episodes back, but the full album is now out and Jay feels like it’s something worth checking out.

Songs:

Sam Fender - “Little Bit Closer”

Sam Fender - “Rein Me In”

Sam Fender - “TV Dinner”
