Broken records

MusicNew said that while it would take the company some time before just a few days before making revisions of a proposed merger agreement for its existing business line and a plan that will make a big impact for both companies and its customers and new businesses that would help them grow the company out there is still much work that could go ahead in a year to be put to rest over time for new customers and the future plans to emerge as well in terms to market the future of their business as they become the next big thing for the industry in general in a future market and the next decade as we are now and I hope we are not

Best Music Podcast. But one criticism

Doug why4/22/2026

I love Broken Record. I find it so insightful. I learn so much from my favorite artists, it really is a gift. I just played the bonus episode, George Michael - Beyond the Controversy, and thought it missed the mark. It glossed over George's music, and betraying the episode title, it dwells too much on the controversial, and iconography bits. "Listen Without Prejudice" isn't mentioned at all, and to to many, this was a major album of the era. While the first album had the sales, this second album was a career defining album to music lovers. Instead, an album gets mentioned, "Mourning my Lover" that doesn't exist. I have no problem with the POV presented in this episode, and I did learn some things, but it was way too lightweight in the music department, to do the subject justice - to me.

Bruce Headlam face palm

Bruce, stop dropping scale terminology every 5 minutes. Audience doesn’t know what you’re referring to (mixolydian) and you’re not impressing someone like Richard Thompson. You don’t know what you’re talking about half the time. Was embarrassed for you in that interview.

Where’s Rick?

Why do you still have Rick Rubin in the title of the show? He hasn’t been on an episode I’m years.

Mr. Richmond do you think people actually go to a Neil Young concert these days hoping to hear “Harvest Moon”?
