  • The Petty 8ight with Ian Winick
    Oct 9 2024

    This week's episode is the fourth installment The Petty 8ight!


    I love talking to Pettyheads, musicians, and other people who have been influenced by Tom or his music in myriad ways, but I thought it would be neat to see what non-fans, or non-hardcore fans think of Tom's music if I threw deeper cuts at them.


    My latest #Petty8ight guest is the wonderful Ian Winick, who has been an incredibly supportive and engaged listener of one of my other podcasts, Seaside Pod Review. We share a love of Queen, Marillion, and a lot of the same comedy, as well as a love of words and of the art and craft of songwriting. It was an absolute joy to spend a couple and a half hours in Ian's company and I know you're going to love his first-listen insights into these eight deeper cuts from Tom's catalogue.


    If you want to listen to Ian's fantastic album that he released with John Loves Julie, you can find that here: https://soundcloud.com/johnlovesjulie and you can find the song "Lucky You" here: https://soundcloud.com/johnlovesjulie/lucky-you


    If you want to find his equally brilliant, and very very funny, podcast "Lord of Adders Black" which he co-hosts with the marvelous Michael Smith, you can find that here!

    NOTE: There is some profanity during my conversation with Ian.

  • Eric Senich
    Oct 2 2024

    Today’s episode is a wonderful, sprawling conversation that I had with the inimitable host of the Booked on Rock podcast, Eric Senich. Eric and I met through the Van Halen show, And the Podcast Will Rock, which is hosted by my good pal and Ultimate Catalogue Clash co-host Corey Morrissette. Eric’s knowledge of rock n roll is staggering - and at times quite intimidating - as his insatiable thirst for knowledge is coupled with an excellent memory for facts and timelines. On top of this, he’s just a genuinely nice fella and we spent a really enjoyable couple of hours visiting and chatting about music and of course, Tom’s career. Make sure you check out Booked on Rock. I’ll leave a couple of relevant links to specific in the episode notes but for now, sit back, relax, and enjoy my conversation with Eric Senich.

Excellent opening episode

Interesting and informed podcast. Promises a song by song analysis of Petty’s catalogue, presumably in the same spirit as Revolution in the Head did for The Beatles. I’ve been obsessed with TP&THBs since 1978 - the band I’ve seen most times live. Will listen with interest to how this develops. Excellent start. By the way, how did the narrator end up in Canada?

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
