Stink RADIO

It's technically 1988 in the Stinkverse timeline, but this episode knows no bounds. I'm so high I get philosophical about hair. I gatekeep my favorite bands from Middle School. I namedrop Bang Tango... Just listen. Stay tuned after the episode to hear a very raw demo of an original song, written by P.D. Not for P.D.'s daughters, as usual.

We discover a few legends, and I blabber on about each musical format.. Vinyl, Cassette, CD, (Napster) and Streaming PD.. this episode is not meant for your daughters. Sorry Fool.

It's still the mid-80's and it doesn't matter if you call it a record or an album, Billy Joel has written some unbelievable ones. I share some thoughts from P.D., what I'm currently listening to (Rancid and Bad Religion) and at the end a song from a live album/record we self-produced from a show at the old Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana.

We've arrived in Southern California. We may or may not be fooling these people. It doesn't matter all that much, because we're having fun.

In late 1984, my family packed up everything and moved from Nowhere, USA to Southern California. Along the way, we stopped to visit some family in Las Vegas, Nevada.. Stink got to discover a whole new level of Rock and Roll education deep in the alphabetized tape collection mounted to the wall of a wise cousins bedroom. There's Rush, Van Halen, and there's Rick Springfield.

Thank you for tuning in to the new season of the Stink Show. This time it's about music, music and more music. Plus, stories, memories, thoughts and all the usual Stink bullshit. Also, by the way, my name is Harley Ross and this podcast is about the music of my life.

Thanks for listening. Quick episode in which Stink shits on Green Day for literally no reason, Terry tells tales of an epic show at Wembley (There were Led Zeppelins involved) and then Stink walks through the guestlist/setlist for a crazy fun show at the Forum to celebrate Dave Grohl's Birthday. Who was it that got tickets to the show? Stink's Mom.  See you soon. 

As we all patiently wait for Stink to get his shit together, here is a quick monologue meant as a personal tribute to one of the all-time greatest guitar players, Eddie Van Halen. For those of you unfamiliar with my work, it could SOUND as if I'm making it all about me. Either way, Stink is gonna Stink.  Be safe. Wear a mask.  Don't take any shit from anybody.  ... more episodes coming. Maybe. 

On this episode, Stink shares three working tracks of his original music! Don't act like you're not impressed.  First song is called Pills and Prayers.  Second song is called Picasso's Dead.  And Third Song is True Crime (It gets cutoff, and I don't have time to figure out why. You'll be fine.) Tanks for Listening. Love hard.  HARDER DAMMIT. 

In this episode, Stink and Terry have a discussion about Terry's love of DMB. In it, Stink tries unsuccessfully to ask a simple question about songwriting. Still not sure what I was asking. Maybe you can tell me. Also, don't miss the subtle moment later when Stink inadvertently goes full Tyler Durden in a feeble attempt at justifying years of no rehearsals and lazy performances of cover songs ("I say never be complete, stop trying to be perfect...). We also dip our toes into the murky world of "method" performers.  Thanks for listening. Stay safe. Wear a mask. Love hard.  - STink
