In honor of the great Tom Petty, taken from us too soon, this is a re-issue of the FM soundtrack podcast.
Let Eric take you on a musical trip back to 1978 where the grooves were languid, the organs prominent, and there was no static at all.
TP talk, brief as it is, starts at 15:40
Note: A hard drive failure has caused a delay in releasing the Spectre episode which is also why FM gets a re-release today. You'll be hearing the Spectre episode next week on schedule.
Lesson for today: Tell you family and friends how much they mean to you and back up your data!!!
Lead by the steady hand of Brother J, the bros discuss the late great George Michael. They specifically focus on the albums Faith, Listen without Prejudice, and Older as an example of how he was much more than a pop star.
May you swirl in the heavens you sweet talented man.
(What’s the Story) Morning Glory is a great album by Oasis. Drift back to 1996 and relive the magic, the majesty, the wonder that is Oasis.
We also talk about Travis, Robbie Williams, Cornershop, BT, Blur, The Kinks, and a heaping helping of musical goodness. And warning to our UK listeners. We get all of the history wrong and, especially toward the end, Eric defiles the Queen’s English. Sorry, mates.
00:00:00 – 00:29:30 the music of 1996 stage setting
00:29:31 – 00:54:45 Oasis the band stage setting

01:21:31 – 01:36:00 brick wall mastering and normalization
U2’s Achtung Baby is yet another iconic piece of music from 1991. While we each come at U2 from a different angle, all of us agree: if you get an opportunity to see them live, do so – they are amazing. And check the show notes, there are links to every piece of music, including all of the live tracks that we talk about. Immerse yourself.
74 separate music clips went into this episode
Special thanks to Diane Michalski for analysis
Special thanks to Dan Brownfield for bringing U2 to our attention in the first place
Remember back to 1991 you felt both stupid and contagious and we all heard an album by a little band called Nirvana. It’s the first NIACW all-music ep with all the anderbros in attendance.
Along with Cobain memories and Grohl dreams, the brothers reference:
Tonight there is going to be a jailbreak but not in a creepy way. Drew and Eric marinate in the juicy Thin Lizzy album Jailbreak. They also discuss Slade, the Travelling Wilburys, Bruce Springsteen, Joe Satriani, Stu Hamm, Brian Robertson solo efforts, Bob Seger, Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young, and Heavy Metal the Motion Picture
Angelfood for Thought, the 1991 Meryn Cadell album is a masterpiece. GO BUY THIS ALBUM. Brother J and E discuss it in detail and we also dip into Tom Waits, harassment, and resting bitch face.
