Going way back for this one.  There's naughty humor, an Irish folk song, a prediction of doom, a giant butterfly, and a whole lots soul.  I also mention the Stones a lot, even though I don't cover any of their songs.  And you can follow along on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDWLXjsOJPQmxtfr7_9h2bkzrGiqzF7jH . So have a listen.  You'll probably think this episode is about you.  And it might be.

OMYAM Podcast Episode 6: Tales from the Bargain Bin #1: The New Monkees

Hey Hey, they're...who?  In 1986, after the original Prefab Four made a surprise comeback, producers decided that the next logical step was to find four new guys to make a New Monkees.  Surely huge TV ratings and hit singles would follow.  Well, not quite.   In this episode, I look at the idea, the show, the music, and the four guys tapped to be new versions of Micky, Davy, Peter and Mike, and see if they truly deserved the apathy that greeted them at the time.  And you can judge for yourself with my YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDWLXjsOJPQmUezIbRJ6qme5DWDi_kf22. This was a fun one to put together, and I hope it's just as fun to listen to.

New year, new podcast.  This one looks at the American, Canadian and British charts at the dawn of a decade.  The Kids were new, the dance was forbidden, and not all the men wore pants.  Some artists looked forward, some looked back, and some said we were doomed.  I try to make sense of it all, and you can help make sense of me with the YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDWLXjsOJPQnqgGKPySO75PPUL2vES7Lt  Come with me, or risk a trip to the Principal's Office.
