   Headbangers Book Club: Pamela Des Barres’ I’m with the Band (Part 2)

   In this episode, we get in some more digs at our nemesis Jimmy Page, with some bonus potshots at Don Johnson, and continue to gush about how nice it is to read a book where you don't end up hating the protagonist by the end.

   Headbangers Book Club: Pamela Des Barres’ I’m with the Band (Part 1)

   Pamela Des Barres may not have been a rock star in her own right (unless you count her brief stint in the Zappa-sponsored girl group the GTO's), but her memoir I'm with the Band is a vital counterpoint to the male-dominated hijinks of '60s and '70s rock.

   Headbangers Book Club: Morris Day’s On Time (Part 1)

   It's a special #jhericurljune installment of the ol' Book Club as we dig into 2019's On Time: A Princely Life in Funk by Morris Day with David Ritz--so, slightly less headbanging than normal, but don't worry, there's plenty of the important stuff (i.e., cocaine).

   Headbangers Book Club: Meat Loaf’s To Hell and Back

   Turns out Meat Loaf needed a little extra time in the oven, but we're finally back to discuss the late vocal powerhouse's 2000 memoir To Hell and Back. Join us as we ponder Meat's many concussions, his suitably operatic relationship with the also-recently-departed Jim Steinman, and how he's…

   Hey mothertruckers, we're Bach in the saddle with Part 2 of our series on Sebastian Bach‘s 18 and Life on Skid Row! This book really picked up in the second half, so please excuse the slightly flabby runtime; there's just too many good stories for us not to discuss them. Join us again in two…

   Headbangers Book Club: Stephen Davis’ Hammer of the Gods and Richard Cole’s Stairway to Heaven: Led Zeppelin Uncensored

   For the inaugural episode of the new and improved Headbangers Book Club, we decided to go big with not one, but two books on Led Zeppelin: four entitled manbabies and borderline sociopaths who just so happened to write (or, in some cases, steal) some of the greatest rock music of all time. Join…

    Dystopian Adaptation Party Podcast: The Dirt

    It isn't every day that an Official Dystopian Book Club selection gets adapted into a movie; so, for the first and quite possibly last time, we're reconvening after just one week to discuss Jeff Tremaine's biopic version of Mötley Crüe’s The Dirt. Spoilers: we liked it! But then again, we're also...
