The Songs That Shaped Us: Bay City Rollers, KISS, Thin Lizzy & More
Send us Fan Mail A bird is showing off outside, the porch is perfect, and we are done pretending we do not miss the way music used to feel.

That is the vibe today: real life first, big news second, and a music rabbit hole that makes the heavy stuff easier to carry. We talk through rising tension around Iran and what it means when leaders start throwing around threats to hit infrastructure. Then we follow the money trail into oil markets an...
