That Kid From Freehold - Bruce Springsteen - REDUX 49:28

6d ago49:28

49:28

When the Imbalanced Boys were 25 episodes into this podcast, they made the move to Pantheon! The occasion fell on the same day as Bruce Springsteen's 70th birthday, so it was a natural to feature his story. In the 325 episodes since then, Markus & Ray have covered so many topics and artists, with many more to come! 350 down! 350 to go? Time will te…

From the Patreon Collection #1 2:27:46

11d ago2:27:46

2:27:46

From time to time, I will populate the main feed with a Patreon episode that's at least a year old so casual listeners might get a taste of all the extra scholarship that does occur, but lands nowhere near a published episode: Today we have: Ed Ward, Nick Tosches, Christopher Hitchens, a bad Nine Inch Nails biography, 70s DEVO origins, and lots of …

From Joy Division To New Order 50:49

12d ago50:49

50:49

To understand the story of Joy Division, and how they became New Order requires some patience, and much more. The "why?" in the equation is also discussed, including the lack of support in the area of mental health in that era. The suicide of Ian Curtis might have crashed most bands, but the survivors carried on with a New Order! The impact of Joy …

Steely Dan: Two Against Everything 52:09

20d ago52:09

52:09

This episode delves into the world of Steely Dan, with a passion for their music and the times, one of the Imbalanced Brothers has more "prime exposure" to the band, but both of them show their understanding and love for the band, the boys, and their music! Sure, it's a story about Donald and Walter, but it's also a look inside the studio sessions,…

Takin' An Imbalanced Walk With Buzz Knight 42:33

27d ago42:33

42:33

When former co-workers, now podcasters, get together to discuss their podcasts, the conversation is wide-ranging and filled with discussion of radio past, and future. We discuss infusing artists, new and old, into the podcasts we host, our overall experiences as podcasters, and of course, THE MUSIC! It's a fun visit with an old friend, and now, top…

La Bamba! (1987) | Ritchie Valens, Lou Diamond Phillips, Curt Sobel 1:27:16

25d ago1:27:16

1:27:16

I don't know how to warn you I might get a little wibbly-bibbly in the wobbles during this one. Verklempt, if you will. Similar to the way I was on the CROW episodes processing the loss of Brandon Lee all over again. Ritchie was clearly a marvel and a unique talent in ways I didn't understand until now. To be a guitar hero and a hit songwriter and …

Profiles In The Blues: Bessie & The Wolf - REDUX 1:10:32

1:10:32

This is a re-release of our #ProfilesInTheBlues episode, Bessie & The Wolf! Originally released 9/27/21: "Profiles In The Blues is a new umbrella concept on the podcast! In the initial episode, the Imbalanced Brothers delve deeper into the subjects of Bessie Smith, The Empress Of The Blues, (who's been mentioned before), and Chester Burnett's alter…

5 Favorites: Bass Players Of The 1970s!!! 31:43

1M ago31:43

31:43

When you think of bass players in the 1970's, so many names pop into your head, right? Well, Markus and Ray had the same thing happen. Sorting through, sifting their grey matter, they've whittled it down to their 5 Favorites, but also both of them have long lists of "honorable mentions," in this episode! (Go figure...) Listen, then post your faves …

Bonus material: The Diablo Guitars Interview with lil' ol' Moi 2:18:29

2:18:29

I shared a link to this youtube video when it came out, but providing audio now for anyone who would like to listen. It's been a couple months, so I don't feel like this cuts into their Youtube traffic at all. And even if that was the case, I'm unsure as to whether this interview series will even continue now that Glenn himself is no longer with th…

Suzi Ronson Talks About Bowie, Ronno, Lou Reed & More! 46:11

2M ago46:11

46:11

Often in studying Rock & Roll History, we find various points of view on the same subject, or event. It's the nature of things. But given a chance to talk with someone "who was there" is always great for the Imbalanced Boys. Suzi Ronson's friendship with Angie Bowie, and her entry into David's universe is part of the story, but with her attention t…

Van Halen #6 | "Better Off Dead" (1985) 3:49:16

2M ago3:49:16

3:49:16

Hello and get ready for so much Van Halen once again! And Better Off Dead! So much good stuff that could have only happened in the 1980s converging in one place. Along with more 70s Van Halen history too, of course. We'll cover stuff like: Savage Steve Holland's real life experiences that went into his script, and later work in children's cartoons …

A Case For The Beatles - 5 Years Later! 37:04

2M ago37:04

37:04

The Imbalanced History started, as many podcasts do, with a trailer in March 2019. 10 days later, Markus and Ray released their first actual episode, A Case For The Beatles. As the podcast evolved, and began musical illustration of episodes, they went back and "re-imagined" this fun ep. Now remastered for its 5th anniversary since release. Here's t…

A Visit With Annie Haslam 39:18

It's always fun when Annie Haslam stops by to visit on the podcast! This week, The Imbalanced Boys get some news about a new release! Keep up on details on the Renaissance web site! They also discuss Annie's upcoming show, opening for Rick Wakeman on his final solo tour on 3/23/24! Of course there's always some Renaissance history to discuss, inclu…

Game Changers: Van Halen I! 39:43

2M ago39:43

39:43

Game Changers, in the eyes of the Imbalanced Brothers, are the albums, people, events, and things that changed the game, the music business, or how we view the whole damn thing! Nothing happens in a vacuum, and the rise and trajectory of Van Halen is no different. They had great managers, and label people guiding them on their way, and a major earl…

Van Halen #5 | "The Wild Life" (1984) 2:16:31

2M ago2:16:31

2:16:31

Next episode will feature a deep dive on "Better Off Dead" and conclude the Van Halen saga. But until then, please enjoy: A very well-rounded view of VH history by Eddie Van Halen in 1990 Sammy Hagar's arguably sketchy claims about Van Halen's numbers before and after he joined Eddie producing and promoting a band called "Private Life" who obviousl…

Led Zeppelin: Descended From The Gods...Again! 39:10

3M ago39:10

39:10

No joke! The Imbalanced History podcast has evolved and grown in the last 300 or so episodes since we originally released this week's episode on June 11, 2019! It's been "enhanced" and expanded in some spots from the original release. We all felt that Zeppelin deserved the effort. Hope we succeeded, and that you like it half as much as you seem to …

5 Favorites: American Women Singers Of The 1970s 30:32

3M ago30:32

30:32

The 1970s was an extremely fertile time for music, in general, but especially for all flavors of Rock. Much as here in the 21st century, the influence of women on music of all genres was over-the-top. That impact was felt, maybe most of all, by Rock music. In previous decades, much of the music being made by women was written for them, fabricated i…

Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, Michelangelo Antonioni #2 | "Zabriskie Point" (1970) 5:42:51

3M ago5:42:51

5:42:51

Well, this was ill-advised, I now think to myself... and now you've got a big ol' buffet to keep going back to for as many trips as you'd like, and I don't know how many of you were expecting Jell-O as well as sushi after your fried green beans. But, whether you listen to it all in sequence or segments, I hope it's valuable to you! Here's a few thi…

2:20

The next episode(s) featuring Floyd, The Dead and Zabriskie Point are mostly done and in final editing stages. I haven't decided whether or not to split it into two releases or keep all 4-5 hrs together yet. I figure if you love Pink Floyd and/or the Grateful Dead then having a healthy attention span is probably not an issue for you. In the meantim…

David Cross: From Crimson Days Into Ice Blue, Silver Sky Nights! 35:44

3M ago35:44

35:44

David Cross discusses his time inside and out of King Crimson, including his various solo outings and some Crimson-adjacent projects! Starting with the highly-influential Larks' Tongues In Aspic, he was part of the band in the mid-'70s, before finding his way to the long solo road, that he has been riding since. The conversation is informative, and…

Albums Turning 50 in 2024! 1:01:05

3M ago1:01:05

1:01:05

This episode starts with a grunge.com article about albums released in '74, and turning 50, but The Imbalanced Boys realized there was much more to 1974 than the writer covered. How can you fail to include Rock n' Roll Animal by Lou Reed, as an example. So, Markus and Ray dive into that rabbit hole in the second half of this week's podcast. Startin…

Billboard's Chart Run Champions 58:11

58:11

We looked into an article on Louder Sound that talked about the longest runs on the Billboard album chart. That chart started as a Top 10 in the 1950s, expanding through to 1967 when it became the Billboard 200! That's name most of us know. This adventure just might include the most artists not previously profiled in one of our episodes: Lana Del R…

Drums & Demons with author Joel Selvin 56:27

56:27

Jim Gordon was a kid who loved to play drums. Where would that love take him? Basically, everywhere! His inventive, musical percussion style created an incredible demand for his services. Having Jim on drums could change the fate of a recording project, and often did! The success and impact of Gordon's playing was legendary, long before the June 19…

Sometimes you hear a song you've known for forever, and one part jumps out of the speakers at you. That's the spark for this week's adventure into The Land Of The One Hit Wonders!!! Turns out THAT guy was Ian Bairnson! That sparks a discussion of his work after being a member of Pilot. His time recording with The Alan Parsons Project and Kate Bush,…

The Year That Was 2023 For David Uosikkinen! 53:09

Our friend David Uosikkinen, and his friends in The Hooters, had one helluva 2023: A new album, Rockin' & Swing, a major U.S. Summer tour for the first time in decades, and an expanded Euro tour! Then, word was, that David was the subject of a new documentary. The guys discuss The Heart Of The Beat with him, and the rest of the year that was 2023! …

It's time to get cranky! I read internet exchanges with a psycho on Reverb.com and a former child star on Instagram as well as quotes from Steve Albini and a section of the recent Megadeth book featuring Dave Mustaine's racist-ass wife. Throughout it all, you will also hear some delightful children's poems to offset the awfulness. Please check the …

The guys talk about their year in episodes, marking a number of special guests along the way. They dig into the email bin at imbalancedhistory@gmail.com for listener interactions, opinions and ideas from you! …

Episode Of The Year: The Story Of Fleetwood Mac 46:25

Almost every user gets a Spotify wrap-up for the year. Markus & Ray were already leaning towards this episode, originally released on February 6th. Then the year-end wrap-up hit the inbox, and it was a done deal. Funny thing is, The Imbalanced Boys both loved that ep, and were surprised to see it react so well immediately, despite the continued pop…

"Zabriskie Point" (1970) | Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead 2:16:58

2:16:58

Phil Lesh is the best music writer. Richard Wright may or may not have been incredibly smart for not legally being a member of Pink Floyd from 1980 onward. I agree with Roger Ebert for once. Bear knows a thing or two about sound reenforcement after going mostly deaf in one ear. EMI helps create the first internet conspiracy theories in rock. The De…
