Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984. This week Wham is still on top but Tina continues to ascend (again). No way to explain why Dennis DeYoung is still hanging around, but at least Pat Benatar's 'We Belong' has entered the chat. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984. It's getting dark early, but still warm enough to hang out on the curb with some buds and listen in as Duran Duran and New Edition come roaring into the bottom 10 and Wham make it big music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984. Billy Ocean ascends, Chicago possibly outstaying its welcome, Tina is about to come roaring back, and Dennis DeYoung is still inexplicably rising. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984. This week Prince owns the charts with 2 singles and 2 more that he wrote/produced. Stevie is still on top but Tina is back on the charts so his reign may be coming to an end soon. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984. Lot of movement this week with Tina and Bananarama exiting the countdown to make room for some lesser Rick Springfield and...Dennis DeYoung? Stevie still on top though. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984. This week Stevie takes the throne from Prince on a list made up almost entirely of some of the heaviest hitters to ever do it. And Rod Stewart. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984. This week Prince stays on top, Chicago jumps higher than they should, Eddie and The Cruisers arrive, and Ghostbusters is...finally gone. 🙌 music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Nothing new for Bandcamp Friday, but you WILL be able to own The Lake on vinyl by December should you choose to do so.

We were pretty critical of this one, but considering I have listened to the album(s), on average, 1.5 times a day for the past few weeks and continue to do so, its a pretty easy recommend.

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984. Sometimes I'm a day late. This week Prince claims the throne from John Waite, Billy Ocean comes storming into the charts and Ghostbusters is...still here. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Gonna be just a WEE bit longer (have to get the new test press) but by the end of the year The Lake can be yours on vinyl if you're the kinda of person that enjoys that sort of thing.

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984. This week we're losing John Waite claims the top spot with one of the top songs of the 80's, Madonna enters the chat and Ghostbusters is...still hanging on 🙄 music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

These dummies are FIFTEEN today. Please clap for our boys, who are our heart annd soul. ❤️

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984. This week Tina is still on top (🤲), Prince is moving in both directions and Chicago pops in to threaten us with a good time. Ghostbusters is...still there. 🙄 music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Got word that my sisters ashes were in possession along with a death certificate with no cause listed.... Gonna sit with this for a minute

New episode in which we discuss quantity vs. quality in Country music, and why (IMO) 15 albums in 10 years is the way forward for musicians.

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984. This week we're losing "I Can Dream About You" but gaining a Night Ranger. We'll never get rid of Ghostbusters 🙄 Tina still runs Bartertown music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

It is #BandcampFriday and, real talk guys, we just had our basement trashed in the recent Milwaukee floods, so if you were thinking about buying any of my music go ahead and DO THAT. P.S. You'll be able to buy 'The Lake' on vinyl by xmas. maximilianandthereinhardt.bandcamp.com

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984. This week Peter Wolf's "Lights Out" is on the list but not on streaming. Advantage to Bananarama, who now gets to enter this chart a week early. Regardless, all hail QUEEN TINA music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

This is going to destroy independent musicians who depend on merch sourced abroad. For me (and you) it means it’s gonna be a while before you can buy The Lake on vinyl wapo.st/41tgExG

Look...I love Wisconsin with all my heart but nobody, and I mean nobody, is calling any BBQ from this state, much less brisket, the best in the country 😂

👀

P.S. You can always enjoy my music at maximilianandthereinhardt.bandcamp.com I have been enjoying revisiting Middle West quite a bit this year.

Happy Bandcamp Friday! No new music to share just yet, but a lot of demos have been laid down for the next album. Look for news on that soon-ish. In the meantime, I want to share news about a little experiment that I’m doing. 🧵

👀

It hit me last night that we never discuss how immediately and permanently Matthew Broderick's character in Wargames is going to federal prison seconds after those credits roll

Never thought I'd say this, but it turns out the Tyler Childers album out tomorrow is one of the better Country records I've heard in quite a while. I thought his first one was just ok, and everything after overrated, so this is a good, and genuine surprise.

This week's Top 20 Countdown...from 1984 music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Trying out this new service which purports to be able to produce single quantity, on-demand copies of an album on vinyl and/or CD. Test press for The Lake has been ordered. Will report back (or you'll just see that you can buy The Lake on vinyl sometime around mid-August) elasticstage.com

The Top 20 songs on the Billboard charts this week in 1984. A few great songs dropped off from last week but "I Can Dream About You" entering the lineup makes up for it. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

I think the best we can reasonably expect without Christopher Reeves in the role is "Kinda-OK"man, amirite?

At the end of this episode I talk briefly about my sister's recent suicide. That's less a trigger warning than to say that please, if you find yourself in those darkest of places, reach out to a bud OR call the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988. Someone is out there to help.

Taking my afternoon walk down by the shore snd discovered that "The Lake" tree that Patti Hall so brilliantly recreated for the album cover is gone. I guess there's a metaphor in there somewhere

Dropped the latest episode a little early because as I was editing it earlier this week I found my self legit LOL'ing and after just an impossibly hard few days prior it brought me a lot of joy. 🧵

The arc of The Bear from a generationally great series of television to one of the worst things in television is absolutely fascinating. They should have left Carmy in the walk in after S2. One of the least interesting, and now most annoying, characters in TV history.

It has been my life's work to help people come to terms with the fact that Boston's 'Third Stage' isn't just worth your time, it's a legit GOAT of an album. Love to see it celebrated here

Just realized that as great an interviewer Sean Evans is, there's no better concrete proof that we're living in an Idiocracy than the fact that a show like Hot Ones even exists.

Milwaukee music is going CRAZY this year. Yet another small album punching wayyyy above its weight. blacktopmakesmusic.bandcamp.com/album/modern...

Re-did some math and discovered that we've done a few more eps than I thought, and this is the 581st episode of our little show. Guess we'll be sprinting to 600 this year.

Some curated tunes for your weekend from myself and @ed209.bsky.social Stay safe out there, buds.

I almost forgot I had the chance to shoot The Beach Boys/Brian Wilson way back in 2012, which now is an absolute lifetime ago. Lucky I got to do this. RIP to the best.

Three absolutely essential albums on this latest edition of the show. 2025 is shaping up to be pretty rad...music-wise

@ed209.bsky.social is out this week, so this is roughly what the inside of my brain sounds like

This band doesn't miss music.apple.com/us/album/flo...

It is Bandcamp Friday and I just order some $400 headphones to mix my next album with. Have you picked up a copy of The Lake today? It's pay what you want so free is fine but also...$400 😂 maximilianandthereinhardt.bandcamp.com/album/the-la...

Immaculate handpicked vibes from @ed209.bsky.social and myself to enhance your weekend. Set your crossfade to 2 seconds to really {{{feel}}} it

A mess of new and old tunes to enhance your weekend...or ruin it. We didn't really have the budget to market test any of this stuff
