Metro Monthly Music Podcast Volume 2, Episode 1 January, 2010

The January MMMpod features conversation from performers who helped define the first decade of the new century. One of those people is Julian Casablancas, who we also talk to about his brilliant new album. The Song Sleuth does bust him for borrowing a guitar part from a ‘Flashdance’ song though. We also dig up old interviews from bands who are reuniting in 2010. It’s funny to hear them say they’ll probably never get back together again. In preparation for the Grammys, Aerosmith’s Joe Perry talks...

The December MMMpod features interviews and Christmas music from the Killers and Darlene Love. The Song Sleuth busts Lady Gaga for ripping off the Offspring, who ripped off Nirvana, who ripped off Boston.

The November MMMpod features interviews and music with a band called Girls, a band of girls called Supercute, and a supercute vampire (Yes, we have Robert Pattinson), and a tune from the XX, who may or may not be vampires. What ties all of this together? Huey Lewis, of course.

Metro Monthly Music Podcast Volume 1, Episode 7, October, 2009

So many killer interviews that it's scary! The October edition of MMMpod features conversation with Al Green, Drew Barrymore, Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips, author Nick Hornby and Big Man Clarence Clemons (who is also an author, in addition to his sax duties with Springsteen). We also let Ms. Barrymore choose this month's HOLY CRAFT, and possibly confused her a little bit. We also have music from Sean Bones. You think that's a scary name? The MMMPod medley is all about ghosts!

Metro Monthly Music Podcast Volume 1, Episode 5, August, 2009

The August edition of MMMpod features special guest hosts Drug Rug and a selection from this Boston band’s brand new “Paint the Fence Invisible.” New music from K’Naan and Wye Oak, and there’s also conversation from the Breeders and Mark McGrath from Sugar Ray. And Drug Rug gives me a hard time for admitting I like Sugar Ray. Drug Rug also digs Taj Mahal, The Band and Glen Campbell. We also raid the MMMpod medicine cabinet for the Medley.
