Canadian singer-songwriter Dan Bejar has been crafting songs and performing as the frontman for Destroyer since the '90s. A couple weeks back he released his 11th full-length album, called "Poison Season." This week, Dan gives us a monomaniacal list of party tunes.
Los Colognes are a six-piece blues band from Nashville with a soft spot for Dire Straits. Don't take our word for it, take a listen to "Golden Dragon Hut," off their new album "Dos."
Carly Rae Jepsen is out with her third album, "E·MO·TION." It's fun, '80s-pop-inspired, earworm-heavy, and the critics dig it. The Canadian singer serves up a soundtrack for a night feasting on homemade lasagna, grooving on the dance floor, and mending broken hearts.
In the 1970s and '80s, Alice Cooper pioneered what came to be called shock rock, lacing his live shows with real pythons, fake electrocutions, and all manner of horror movie imagery. Now he's releasing an album next week with the new Hollywood Vampires, and he regales Rico and Brendan with tales of his friendships with some of the greatest figures in old Hollywood and rock 'n' roll. (He also stuck around to dole out a little etiquette advice too!)
The rock legend returns for our etiquette segment to tell our audience the one thing we all need to wear when travelling, when a serpentine fashion accessory is just too much, and what pairs best with sweet, sweet, stage blood.
For 30 years, Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley have recorded everything from acoustic ballads to noise pop, as two out of three members of indie rock stalwarts Yo La Tengo. That diversity is evident on the group's latest album of cover songs, called "Stuff Like That There." They DJ a dinner party filled with new takes on familiar tunes.
Thundercat, a.k.a. Stephen Bruner, played bass for the seminal thrash band Suicidal Tendencies and has become known lately for his funky, jazzy work with musicians like Flying Lotus and Kendrick Lamar. On the eve of his solo tour, he presents us with a party playlist that celebrates debauchery -- on the road, at a house party, or on the high seas.
