2d ago52:29

52:29

Another previously, never-repeated episode for Week #2 of our #SummerVacation2024! Here's the original copy for the episode's first release in 2021: "In 2020 the Covid Pandemic took from us, Frederick Nathaniel "Toots" Hibbert. The man who coined the term Reggay, Toots was Reggae with soul. His depth, power, warmth and continual positive messages r…

From time to time, I will populate the main feed with a Patreon episode that's at least a year old so casual listeners might get a taste of all the extra scholarship that does occur, but lands nowhere near a published episode: Original description for this episode: Shaboom! Two hours of hotness for you today in the wake of my recent 3-parter on The…

Summer Vacay 2024: Under A Mediterranean Sky with Steve Hackett 40:46

9d ago40:46

40:46

Vacation for the Imbalanced History team means 5 classic, never-before-repeated, episodes from 2021, through the month of July!!! When Markus and Ray first talked to Steve Hackett, he and his wife Jo were in Covid lockdown, early in the pandemic. The reality of Covid is part of the discussion, but we've edited the original discussion, for current p…

Too Much Too Young: The 2-Tone Records Story 50:21

16d ago50:21

50:21

Before our July Summer vacation, a really great talk with author Daniel Rachel (Like Some Forgotten Dream, Don't Look Back In Anger, Walls Come Tumbling Down) to discuss his latest book, Too Much Too Young: The 2-Tone Records Story! The music of Ska was the next big thing in London, and in Coventry, where many of the bands percolated in a vacuum. T…

Rod The Mod: Sir Roderick Stewart! 55:51

23d ago55:51

55:51

From his family roots to his dual career paths, taken simultaneously, Markus and Ray take the ride with you, musically, and historically! From London to L.A., we talk about his musical life, and all the twists and turns it took. Due to the risk of a 2+ hourlong episode, much of Rod Stewart's personal story is pretty much left out. So, it's football…

All You Need Is Love, A Candid Conversation With Author Steven Gaines 1:02:49

30d ago1:02:49

1:02:49

Sometimes when you do interviews, the discussion expands beyond the movie or book the subject came to promote. That's what happened when Markus & Ray talked with author Steven Gaines. But Gaines isn't just any Rock author, having been Alice Cooper's biographer & regular golf partner, writing books and penning columns, and interviewing all of The Be…

Oldest Artists Still At It!!! 33:00

33:00

Someone had the idea to start a meme, in tribute if you will, to the elders. All genres, all artists, all that matters! Healthy discussions (lookin' at you, Facebook friends!) are a good thing, but try to be kind! What's cool is the variety of amazing artists, well past full retirement age, who've decided that playing on the back porch is "for old …

La Bamba! (1987) #2 | Ritchie Valens & Luis Valdez 3:04:40

3:04:40

Today we finish up Ritchie's story with some more background on the filmmaker and the movie I've come to love even more and apparently get goddamn defensive about. Reviewing the legacy of the film via a look back with Valdez and Lou Diamond Phillips TV Tropes about "La Bamba!" My takeaways about the making of the film in 3 parts A look back at Luis…

"Summer, it turns me upside down! Summer, summer, summer!! It's like a merry-go-round!!!" Ahhhh, whatever it means to you, Summer is in the air! The Boys hit us with their most seasonal faves as we celebrate Memorial Day in the U.S. It's also the unofficial start of the Summer season in a lotta places! These albums, right here?

Intersection: Traffic & Blind Faith 37:52

2M ago37:52

37:52

When Markus told Ray about his love of Traffic, it sparked a conversation that spills into this episode. Proving we all have our own path, Markus notes When The Eagle Flies as his favorite, while Ray prefers Low Spark... That led to discussion of Blind Faith, a 1969 side project, which the Boys discuss as well. It's a different-angle perspective an…

Johnny Dee: The Conshy-Frankfurt Connection 55:54

55:54

Even if your podcast guest is an old friend, you never know what might come up, or what you might learn! That's the case with Philly native (and killer drummer) Johnny Dee (Doro, Tyketto, Britny Fox, Waysted) who beams in from Germany, just as festival season is getting started! The Imbalanced Boys discuss his early days in the bands, leading up to…

That Kid From Freehold - Bruce Springsteen - REDUX 49:28

2M ago49:28

49:28

When the Imbalanced Boys were 25 episodes into this podcast, they made the move to Pantheon! The occasion fell on the same day as Bruce Springsteen's 70th birthday, so it was a natural to feature his story. In the 325 episodes since then, Markus & Ray have covered so many topics and artists, with many more to come! 350 down! 350 to go? Time will te…

From Joy Division To New Order 50:49

2M ago50:49

50:49

To understand the story of Joy Division, and how they became New Order requires some patience, and much more. The "why?" in the equation is also discussed, including the lack of support in the area of mental health in that era. The suicide of Ian Curtis might have crashed most bands, but the survivors carried on with a New Order! The impact of Joy …

Steely Dan: Two Against Everything 52:09

52:09

This episode delves into the world of Steely Dan, with a passion for their music and the times, one of the Imbalanced Brothers has more "prime exposure" to the band, but both of them show their understanding and love for the band, the boys, and their music! Sure, it's a story about Donald and Walter, but it's also a look inside the studio sessions,…

42:33

When former co-workers, now podcasters, get together to discuss their podcasts, the conversation is wide-ranging and filled with discussion of radio past, and future. We discuss infusing artists, new and old, into the podcasts we host, our overall experiences as podcasters, and of course, THE MUSIC! It's a fun visit with an old friend, and now, top…

1:27:16

I don't know how to warn you I might get a little wibbly-bibbly in the wobbles during this one. Verklempt, if you will. Similar to the way I was on the CROW episodes processing the loss of Brandon Lee all over again. Ritchie was clearly a marvel and a unique talent in ways I didn't understand until now. To be a guitar hero and a hit songwriter and …

This is a re-release of our #ProfilesInTheBlues episode, Bessie & The Wolf! Originally released 9/27/21: "Profiles In The Blues is a new umbrella concept on the podcast!

When you think of bass players in the 1970's, so many names pop into your head, right? Well, Markus and Ray had the same thing happen. Sorting through, sifting their grey matter, they've whittled it down to their 5 Favorites, but also both of them have long lists of "honorable mentions," in this episode! (Go figure...) Listen, then post your faves …

I shared a link to this youtube video when it came out, but providing audio now for anyone who would like to listen. It's been a couple months, so I don't feel like this cuts into their Youtube traffic at all. And even if that was the case, I'm unsure as to whether this interview series will even continue now that Glenn himself is no longer with th…

Suzi Ronson Talks About Bowie, Ronno, Lou Reed & More! 46:11

46:11

Often in studying Rock & Roll History, we find various points of view on the same subject, or event. It's the nature of things. But given a chance to talk with someone "who was there" is always great for the Imbalanced Boys. Suzi Ronson's friendship with Angie Bowie, and her entry into David's universe is part of the story, but with her attention t…

Hello and get ready for so much Van Halen once again! And Better Off Dead! So much good stuff that could have only happened in the 1980s converging in one place. Along with more 70s Van Halen history too, of course. We'll cover stuff like: Savage Steve Holland's real life experiences that went into his script, and later work in children's cartoons …

The Imbalanced History started, as many podcasts do, with a trailer in March 2019. 10 days later, Markus and Ray released their first actual episode, A Case For The Beatles. As the podcast evolved, and began musical illustration of episodes, they went back and "re-imagined" this fun ep. Now remastered for its 5th anniversary since release. Here's t…

They also discuss Annie's upcoming show, opening for Rick Wakeman on his final solo tour on 3/23/24! Of course there's always some Renaissance history to discuss, inclu…

Game Changers: Van Halen I! 39:43

4M ago39:43

39:43

Game Changers, in the eyes of the Imbalanced Brothers, are the albums, people, events, and things that changed the game, the music business, or how we view the whole damn thing! Nothing happens in a vacuum, and the rise and trajectory of Van Halen is no different. They had great managers, and label people guiding them on their way, and a major earl…

But until then, please enjoy: A very well-rounded view of VH history by Eddie Van Halen in 1990 Sammy Hagar's arguably sketchy claims about Van Halen's numbers before and after he joined Eddie producing and promoting a band called "Private Life" who obviousl…

No joke! The Imbalanced History podcast has evolved and grown in the last 300 or so episodes since we originally released this week's episode on June 11, 2019! It's been "enhanced" and expanded in some spots from the original release. We all felt that Zeppelin deserved the effort. Hope we succeeded, and that you like it half as much as you seem to …

5 Favorites: American Women Singers Of The 1970s 30:32

5M ago30:32

30:32

The 1970s was an extremely fertile time for music, in general, but especially for all flavors of Rock. Much as here in the 21st century, the influence of women on music of all genres was over-the-top. That impact was felt, maybe most of all, by Rock music. In previous decades, much of the music being made by women was written for them, fabricated i…
