Episode 26: A great group hiding in plain sight: how the pandemic halted the rise of so many bands
I recently stumbled upon a band I knew nothing about — and immediately loved their sound. Isn’t it great when that happens? Their name: Maj Deeka. Their style: Steely Dan meets Umphrey’s McGee meets Galactic meets Dopapod meets Reign of Kindo meets Herbie Hancock … and a dash of a lot of other stuff. They sound great. But it seemed like they didn’t have a huge following. I was fascinated. Why? Turns out, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March of 2020 stymied this group’s ascent. Now what? This episode is a peek into the reality of how hard it can be to elevate from making that shift between ambitiously playing in a band for fun and a little cash vs. turning your art creation into a viable career option. The pandemic splintered a lot of bands forever. These guys have a sound that’s good enough to warrant landing a record deal and establish, at minimum, a regional following. Which way will it go?

Episode 25: DMB's Busted Stuff 20 years later
The previously untold story of just how rocky this album-making process was at a critical time in DMB's history. Producer Steve Harris reveals the highs and lows of DMB's fifth major studio LP, with never-before-told stories from the studio. He also goes track-by-track with each song, detailing some of his favorite cuts and best memories. The highlight is “You Never Know,” a tune that comfortably ranks among the band’s best. Twenty years on, here’s a lengthy look back at Busted Stuff, and how busted it could have been. Plus: a few extra DMB goodies unrelated to the record that will get fans all the more curious on other projects.

Episode 24: The Lillywhite Sessions, with Steve Lillywhite (Part 2)
Matt Norlander brings Steve Lillywhite back on the podcast for a long-awaited reflection on the ill-fated 2000 "Lillywhite Sessions," a studio project that was initially supposed to be DMB's fourth major-label record. Things went awry, Lillywhite was fired, the recordings shockingly leaked almost a year later anyway ... and then pretty much everyone thought the halfway-done recordings were sketches of an amazing record aborted too soon. Those sessions still carry a heavy, important and positive legacy for DMB, and it's worth lifting up this project in addition to providing context of the music business and popular music culture when this saga unfolded. For Lillywhite, this was the rare instance of him being unceremoniously fired from a project. More than two decades on, he looks back on being in the studio, finding out how he was sacked, and goes track by track through the recordings to offer thoughts on the cuts all these years later
