🎧 This Weekend on The Ongoing History of New Music

We’re rolling out a double-feature weekend with two deep dives into music history, culture, and the artists who reshaped everything that came after them. Settle in — it’s a full hour of stories, discovery, and iconic tracks.

Episode 1: Peaked Too Soon – Bands Ahead of Their Time

Some bands create sounds that the world simply isn’t ready for — at least not yet. This episode explores the artists who were pushing boundaries long before the mainstream caught up, influencing entire movements even if they never got the recognition they deserved in their own era.

Featured Tracks:
🎵 Je N’attends Plus Personne – Françoise Hardy
🎵 He**in – The Velvet Underground
🎵 Roadrunner – Jonathan Richman
🎵 Blind Alley – F***y
🎵 Thirteen – Big Star
🎵 Politicians in My Eyes – Death
🎵 Villains (Also Wear White) – Bam Bam
🎵 Touch Me I’m Sick – Mudhoney
🎵 Under the God – Tin Machine

Episode 2: The Backstage Rider

What really goes on behind the curtain? From humble requests to notorious demands, the backstage rider has shaped rock mythology for decades. This episode breaks down why riders exist, the stories behind the most famous ones, and what these lists reveal about the artists who create them.

Featured Tracks:
🎵 Rope – Foo Fighters
🎵 When You Were Young – The Killers
🎵 No One Knows – Queens of the Stone Age
🎵 Hurt – Johnny Cash
🎵 Every Day Is Like Sunday – Morrissey
🎵 Higher Ground – Red Hot Chili Peppers
🎵 Loser – Beck
🎵 Lazaretto – Jack White

Tune in this weekend for two great episodes back-to-back — a perfect mix of discovery, nostalgia, and stories you’ll want to share.
