This week Baxie speaks with Dave and Gram Tab from the band Mad Tab! After four years in the making, Mad Tab is about to release their second album this coming September! The name of the record is called “Alas! The Bomb Voyage”. Mad Tab were the very first band signed by Inanuttshell Records—the record company started by Norwood Fisher (founder and former bass player for Fishbone)! The first single from Inanutshell Records is “Awake”. And it is a freaking beast! It’s arguably the best song they’ve ever recorded. And it’s certainly one of my favorite singles of the year!

Baxie speaks with Simon Raymonde of The Cocteau Twins! Simon has just released an amazing memoir entitled “In One Ear: Cocteau Twins, Ivor, and Me”. This is a tremendous book in which Simon not only talks about the band and their unconventional way of making some of the best albums of the 1980's (and early 90's). He also talks about the legacy of his father, Ivor Raymonde, whose own credits in music include David Bowie, Dusty Springfield, The Walker Brothers, Tom Jones, and hundreds more. We also talk about his record label Bella Union Records, the state of the music industry, and about the frightening health scare that stripped him of 50% of his hearing. Just an amazing story!

It's a VERY special bonus episode of Baxie’s Musical Podcast with Jules Peters—the wife of the late Mike Peter’s from The Alarm. This is an incredibly powerful interview in which Jules talks about Mike’s incredible legacy followed a 31-year battle with leukemia. Jules not only shares the story about his final days but also about the recording of his final album with The Alarm. The record, which is entitled “Transformation” is being released on May 29th. And it’s absolutely astonishing. Having had the chance to speak with Mike in March of 2023 it was a true honor to speak with Jules about how she’s keeping his amazing spirit alive. This is one interview that you’re not going to want to miss. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and on the Rock102 app! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee.
