Breaking the Mold: 10 ’80s Hair Band Songs That Still Rock Today
Not all ’80s hair bands were defined by Aqua Net & eyeliner. There were countless hooks, killer guitar work, and songs that still resonate decades later. In this week’s episode, I break down 10 tracks that defied the stereotypes, exceeded the expectations and continue to remind us why ’80s hard rock still goes to 11!

Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon: The Ultimate Music Connection Challenge
This episode takes on a fiendish playlist challenge: Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon — The Music Edition.
The rule is simple to explain but devilish to pull off: every song in the playlist connects to the next through a shared musician collaboration — guest features, one-off duets, session players, and more. Each track comes from a different primary artist or band, all leading toward the final destination: Kevin Bacon.
Expect surprising crossovers, session-player breadcrumbs, and collaborative threads that reveal just how small — and yet connected — the music world really is. Connecting Kevin Bacon through movies might seem easy, but doing it through music? That’s a whole different level of challenge.
Thanks to Matt Kennedy of XRadioX for submitting this week’s concept! Tune in, and then let me know how you’d connect the musical dots through your Six Degrees playlist!

My Weekly Mixtape Returns! New Season, New Format & Big Updates
In case the title isn't a complete spoiler, My Weekly Mixtape is coming back for a brand new season this November! Considering season one lasted nearly 2.5 years and 150 episodes, I decided to post this episode to update everyone as to what's been going on in my life the last several months, as well as introduce a new episode format, that I'll need all of the fellow mixtapers' help to bring to life!
I thank you all for your patience, love and understanding as I've dealt with the loss of my father. Your actions & kindness have meant the world to me during the most difficult time of my life.
As things are starting to settle down for my family, I'm looking forward to introducing this new era of My Weekly Mixtape with all of you! I am extremely grateful to each and every one of you, and I thank you for joining me for this next chapter of MWM!
