Co-host @tnixon16 dipping a toe into uncharted waters here, with a little alt-country and his Mill House project…
New single from Mill House has dropped. A cover of "Almost Woke You Up," by @Stephen_Kellogg. An absolute gem of a composition, that I did my best (perhaps in vain) to pay homage to. Available everywhere: linktr.ee/millhouseband

🚨🎙️ **S7.E5: One-Hit Wonders, 1976-1984** 🎙️🚨 Let’s talk one-hit-wonders, starting with the 50th anniversary of the single-hitting chart toppers of 1976. Then, let’s fast forward to “the day the boat sank” — 1984. 👇👇👇

What makes a one-hit wonder a true flash in the pan? What was common to the wonders of 1976, then let’s look at 1984. Same dynamic at play? What’s consistent? What changed? And let’s distinguish between TRUE one-hit-wonders those who deserve none of the ignominy, shall we?!👇
