  4. S1E16 - Saturday Morning Super Heroes

    This episode of Triple Tune Challenge is chock full of songs, any of which you likely heard the first time while wearing pajamas, I know I did.

  5. S1E15 - Top of the World, Ma! Oops, not.

    My fascination with One-Hit Wonders runs deep. There’s something noble about achieving the pinnacle of success only to tumble, or sometimes plummet, to obscurity. OHW’s are not a new phenomenon, nor are they limited to music. Artists of all types, athletes, CEOs, and just about anyone can...

  8. S1E12 – Capitol City Lets Lulu Back In Town

    The music you’ll hear in episode 12 is near and dear to my musical heart. Answering last week’s challenge, we’ll stop by California’s capital, Sacramento, my hometown. Several name artists and familiar songs originated in Sacramento, and I even took the opportunity to throw in an Exotica artist,...

  9. S1E9 - A Filthy Wreck Lacking Discipline

    This episode contains no censorship which infuriates Tipper Gore and the PMRC. We’ll learn more about evil rock and roll from the late 1980’s, wonder at the magic of the greatest group of session musicians ever assembled, and learn about a Prog band from Detroit named Discipline. I’ll also throw...
