    452 - Nick Heyward of Haircut 100 - New album, Boxing the Compass, and Tour
    Sep 3 2026
    Nick Heyward and Haircut 100 were the darlings of early MTV - hits like “Love Plus One” and “Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)” added some funk to the typical New Wave fare coming out at the time. But, success was fleeting, and Heyward left after one album, forging a fantastic solo career. We happen to think Love You Avenue may be the finest album you’ve never heard!

    Flash forward 44 years and Heyward and Haircut 100 are back with their finest album to date, Boxing the Compass. And, they’re out on the road supporting the album with Squeeze and Adam Ant.

    Heyward talks about what got the original band back together, and how there was a conscious effort to make this album danceable.

    451 - Mike Connell of the Connells - 40th anniversary of their debut album, Darker Days
    Aug 31 2026
    The Raleigh, North Carolina band, The Connells, emerged in 1984, right as the world was turning their eye toward the Southeastern United States, and the innovative sounds of bands like R.E.M. and Let’s Active. The band were darlings of the burgeoning college radio scene of the Eighties and early Nineties, and even scored a surprise worldwide hit with “’74-’75” in 1995.

    The band has slowly regained most of their back catalog, and are issuing the 40th anniversary of their debut album, Darker Days. The newly remastered edition features several bonus tracks - putting it back in physical print for the first time since 1987.

    We talk with Mike Connell about how quickly things moved along for the band in the early days, being included on the More Mondo compilation, getting to work with Don Dixon, hot on the heels of him producing R.E.M, plus getting signed to Elvis Costello's Demon Records in the UK.

    He also tells the crazy story of "'74-'75," including an opportunity to share the stage with Def Leppard!

    450 - David Freiberg of Jefferson Starship - 87 years old and still rockin'
    Jul 15 2026
    Jefferson Starship has sold eight million records worldwide. Their hits include “Miracles,” “Count on Me,” “Jane,” and “Find Your Way Back.” The band is coming to the Rose Music Center on Thursday, July 16th, along with a killer lineup of bands - Atlanta Rhythm Section, Firefall and Orleans.

    David Freiberg is an inspiration to us all. At 87, he’s the last remaining original member of the band still touring. Andt, he's got an incredible band behind him.

    "I fully believe that's the only reason I'm alive."

    Cathy Richardson is a ball of fire on vocals, and Jude Gold ups the excitement with his fiery guitar playing. Chris Smith (bass/keyboards) and Donny Baldwin (who was in the band back in the mid 80's), round out the lineup.

    Freiberg also recalls the magical studio session when their first hit, "Miracles," was recorded, and gives us insight into the writing of their big hit, "Jane." He also talks about brand new material that the band is working on.
