This week, the boys take on AI and ponder the effect it will have on the music business. While artificial intelligence is not entirely new to the recording process, what is happening today just might expedite what began around the turn of the millennium: the slow death march of the record business toward obsolescence. Does AI have some redeeming qualities? Should we embrace this modern march toward progress as we did in the 1980s? Are John and Tom just two old guys shaking their fists at the clouds? Tune in to find out!

“Born at Sea. Raised on Radio.”

Tom and John make a playlist for their summer listening pleasure (and yours). BUT, this is not just a pick your favorite summer jams and construct the ultimate playlist. Instead, Tom and John each present the other with head-to-head matchups, and only one song survives. In a variation of “Death Is Not an Option,” there are some real heartbreakers in these matchups, and we are forced to choose the impossible. Who makes the cut? Tune in to find out!

When you’re done, you can spin the soul survivors here: “Out of the Main Summer Sunshine”

“Born at Sea. Raised on Radio.”

How much do you know about Nile Rodgers? Some may not even know the name. Some may know him as accomplished rhythm guitarist. But how much do you really know about his prolific catalogue as a producer and first-call session cat? There’s a lot we didn’t know about this six-time-Grammy-winning hall-of-famer, and maybe much for you to discover as well.
