Like the bodacious ‘dos from which the sound gets its name, “hair metal” can be a hard genre to pin down! Luckily, we’ve got writer/podcaster/critic/organizer and hair metal fan Elana Levin to run through two genre classics to help set some things straight!

Pharoah Sanders (not “Pharaoh”) was a disciple of John Coltrane and a pioneer in his own right, putting spiritual jazz on the map with unique, genre-blending textures.

We recently uncovered our old iPods. We haven’t really used them for several years, so we thought it’d be a lot of fun to hit “shuffle” and see which of the tens of thousands of songs on them came up first.

2022 is almost halfway over! To mark the occasion, Matt and Jason picked their favorite records released this year for this special discussion. Jason picked Soul Glo’s “Diaspora Problems” (March 25) because it’s high-energy, it bends genres, and crams a lot of righteous fury into its lyrics. Matt’s loved the work of Benny the Butcher for a long tim…

However big a left turn this is for you, you should know it’s also pretty wild for us, too. On this episode, Matt and Jason turn the dial to “POPULAR” for a look into the top 20 songs on the Billboard Top 200!

Okay so this one’s not a duel, but it’s still a hell of an album! For this special episode, we asked the CrossFade community to vote on albums they wanted to hear us discuss. It was a tight race (sorry, Frightened Rabbit ☹) but the vox populi won out when they voted for The Strokes’ breakthrough 2001 record, “Is This It”! Listen as Matt (very smart…

Season 2 is here and so is everyone’s favorite guy on the internet, Dan Ryckert! It seems like “Chinese Democracy” is nobody’s favorite Guns N’ Roses album. It took a huge amount of money and time to make and then it underperformed when it DID come out – so why did Dan pick it? And what made Matt finally break out Alice Cooper’s “Love It to Death”?…
