In our 50th episode, the pod re-visits a few of our favorite live albums. Live albums can go one of two ways: they can be great and capture the essence of the band or they can be complete failures.

In our 48th episode, we bring back the mailbag! We had a ton of fun answering all your questions the first time around (back in August), so we figured we were due for a 2nd go round. Who will have left the bigger legacy on the music world, Grohl or Cobain? Best Blink 182 side project? How many years into a bands career does it take them to produce their best record? We tackle these questions and about a dozen more. Thanks to everyone that submitted questions! If you like what you hear, please rate, subscribe, and share!
