• #152 - Anthony's Birthday Extravaganza!

  Remember the days when you would sit around with your friends and play records for each other? Well, that's what we do on this week's Modern Musicology! To celebrate Anthony's 38th birthday, he shares with us 20 songs that he loves and gets our reaction to them. Anthony's tastes range from pop to metal, from prog to rap, with some kitsch and silliness along the way. We'll hear songs by bands that you'd expect from Anthony, like Marillion, Porcupine Tree, and Marina, but there's also some unexpected things like White Lies, The Church of the Cosmic Skull, Sopor Aeternus, and even Public Enemy, plus a lot more. We definitely had a great time doing our deep dive into Anthony's collection! To listen in full to the songs that Anthony has selected for us, you can follow along on this Spotify playlist. If you like any of these songs and want to hear more, there's a second playlist with some additional recommendations.   Let us know if you enjoyed this episode!

• #150 - Ticket Prices

  Rob, Alan, and Stephanie -- joined by our buddy JM Tuffley -- go on a bit of a passionate, cathartic rant about a topic that really gets under our skin: TICKET PRICES! Trust me, we have a lot to say on this topic! We rage against the machine on subjects like exorbitant prices, ridiculous handling fees, long wait times, server crashes, and we try to suss out the root cause of all of this. We feel so much better having gotten this off of our collective chest! First, though, we get to some Listener Feedback and talk about Ace Frehley (KISS) and Dave Ball (Soft Cell).  Have you had a frustrating experience with buying tickets? We wanna hear about it!
