Music Junkies Podcast

Shane Rogers.  Putting his playlist together was interesting.  He saw how each song hit him and it was a memory trigger.  His original playlist was 30 and he had to cut it down.  It was a rollercoaster of emotions.  Maybe also like a CRAZY TRAIN!Which WIG IN A BOX would you choose to wear,  just like which song would you pick for your playlist?  Shane says his connection with THE RISING, a huge BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FAN, was in heavy metal, yet he would put on the greatest hits.  It was a bonding between his new "dad" and him.  Shane says Bruce was a through-line during his life.9 years old in a traveling Circus he wanted to be on stage.   He didn't get summers off like most kids.  Fun and unique.  A kid with a job.  Out-of-the-box experience which you could equate to a KARMA CHAMELEON.  You had to HOLD ON to who you are and who you want to become.  Although Shane felt he lost a bit of his childhood, he has a PEACE OF MIND with who he is today.A brilliant mind, an intelligent guest.  His life is a CRAZY TRAIN and he has the insight on going to a Carnival.  Win?  Now and again.Shane's first band was called "four below" but can't remember why and more and find out the others by listening.  Shane was always the guitar player.  The one band name "Maybe Never" appealed more to guys.  Not a lot of groupies.  Yet, now Shane says there were more groupies in Comedy.  This episode is so amazing about the transition from being a badass to becoming a person who knew what you want.  A friend Chris helped Shane build that world by just being flamboyant and wild.  Great stories and I love stories.  Words of wisdom?  Get good sleep.  Insomnia is being afraid that you are not going to sleep.  Shane struggles with this.  Hear his words.  Move forward with the circumstances.The Truth About Shane Rogers::)  He grew up in a traveling circus (seriously). After spending ages 9-14 flipping and tumbling across the country, he quit the circus life, picked up a guitar, and jumped right back on stage, performing with a variety of bands on the West Coast. In 2012 he was recruited into standup by a comedy-club manager and has now performed at some of America’s premiere venues including The Comedy Store, Cobb's Comedy Club, The San Jose Improv, and The San Francisco Punch Line. During the pandemic, he partnered with long-time friend and collaborator Duncan MacEwan, and together they host the popular Midnight Facts for Insomniacs podcast.

Black Gelato would be her stripper name if it were based on the FB questions these days.  Mars As A Girl says her music sounds like growing up on the Internet and in a haunted strip club.  Her songs are inspired by her life and her dreams.  Her stripper name, if she could visit a haunted strip club would not be based on the color of her underwear and the last thing she ate.  It would be Chameleon based on her hair.If you ever dated a Virgo, you may understand her song VIRGIN HEARTBREAK.  Mars says if you hate someone, it would likely also be "I PROBABLY LOVE YOU".  When asked who pays for the dinner on a same-sex date, Mars said usually whoever the server presents the cheque to. :)  A previous guest said it was whoever had the biggest boobs.    Or the DEMON WITH A PRETTY FACE?  Who knows?Mars As A Girl wants to take over the world, and they make horror movies.   And words of wisdom …..

Born and raised in NYC, Mars always had a passion for music but found it difficult to mesh with people who didn't share her drive and singular vision. The solution was clear: pave her path and secure her place in the NYC alternative pop scene. Her stage name is derived from Mars, the Roman god of anger, a feminization of a traditionally masculine emotion. Her music marries a distinctly feminine voice with dense production and lyrical content that is rife with confusion, love, pain, lust, pride, and regret. Such bold-faced confessions show a woman unafraid to bear her soul to the masses. Tinged with the melancholy strains of Melanie Martinez and the pop hooks of Halsey, Mars draws inspiration from a wide variety of artists while still maintaining a unique, attention-grabbing sound. She isn't just content with local gigs and selective notoriety - she fully intends to take over the world."Support the show

Since then she has been cultivating songs daily about her experiences on this planet. One of her deepest moments of pain she turned into a song and knew at that moment she had to pursue this journey. Life throws us a lot of pain we don't always know how to handle. "Songwriting and music have been this healing process that has helped me navigate the hardest parts of life. I think we can still find beauty and hope in every moment of pain and sadness. ""The songs I am writing hopefully will give that hope to people when they need it most. I want to remind everyone we are all connected and never alone. I want people to find pockets of sunshine when it feels like the rain will never stop. This world can feel too big but sometimes it feels too small and a single moment can change our reality."Watch the full episode on YouTubeCheck out the Playlist on SpotifyFollow us EverywhereMake sure to HIT that LIKE BUTTON and SUBSCRIBE to our Channel to be notified of new episodes! Please share our pageA new EP is out every MONDAY at 12 pm Rock on! Music JunkiesSupport the show

Elisha picked music that she just liked.  Some have meaning, some don't because she's a dancer.  So not all of the dancing music has meaning except for the beat.  She loves dancing, has danced competitively, and only pole dances at the bar.  LOLMarried 17 years, she still likes SEX ON THE BEACH yet acts LIKE A VIRGIN.  Elisha was a BASKET CASE when she hurt herself and had a gash on the toe that went to the bone from hitting a boat prop swimming the night she met with her future husband.  Not because of her toe, but because she didn't get to have SEX ON THE BEACH.LOVE IS having a partner who remains calm and romantic.  "I COULD NOT ASK FOR MORE", Elisha feels, except maybe if he would do laundry as well.Elisha loves dressing up, being VOGUE-ish, and also having FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES, having THE business-like LOOK, and also GETTING DRUNK ON A PLANE.  A mishmash, as she says.  And she loves "MAKING MEMORIES OF US."  That's what life is about.Words of wisdom - strive to be happy and stay true to yourself.  Don't do what goes against your inner being or gut.Fun times - SWEET DREAMS are made of these.  Thanks, my friend, Elisha, for being my guest.  Great, fun stories.View this full episode on YouTube, listen on Spotify,Follow us everywhere Make sure to HIT that LIKE BUTTON and SUBSCRIBE to our Channel to be notified of new episodes! If you would also like to share our page, I will be very grateful!!New EP is out every MONDAY at 12 pm Rock on! Music JunkiesSupport the show

DID YOU FORGET AGAIN?  Yes, Brett forgot what his playlist was, which was fun because it makes it more interesting.Seeing the MONTANA SKY was a pinnacle moment for Brett and inspired that song and his album.   HONEST, if he could be any singer he would be Freddie Mercury.  (trivia - Freddie's original name was Farrokh Bulsara)What was the name of the song Brett graduated to?  IDK or don't think we had one, was his answer. :)DOUBLE TAKE!  Brett could not believe that I reached out to Chris Sligh and that I invited him to my show, and that he agreed.  I had to repeat it.  Yes, it was through something Brett posted on Instagram. When in doubt, pass.  This is the best advice Brett has ever had and it was from his grandfather.  Useless talent?  Brett can do a backflip.   Brett shares about when there was NOTHING LEFT, and he spoke his THOUGHTS OUT LOUD about how it was for his ex, who never did anything wrong.   Beautiful song.Favorite song to perform?  IDK.  Seriously, that is the name of the song.  What's behind the story of CAROUSEL?  Listen to find out.  Brett has never had the chance to share it before.  He was also upset there weren't more sexual questions.   Next time. Words of wisdom?  Keep making the same kind of music, don't let that change.Click here to follow Brett KoolikMore about my guest:Brett Koolik is a Vanderbilt University alum and Nashville artist and behind-the-scenes hitmaker. A triple-threat singer/songwriter/producer, Koolik’s heartfelt storytelling and sophisticated sense of melody define his orchestral pop sound. Initially studying biomedical engineering, Koolik embraced his passion for music, and his gift for toplining and production drew attention from music industry heavyweights — with his 2017 single “The One I Need” finding its way to a TV star and aspiring pop artist. With comparisons to legendary artists Jack Antonoff and Jon Bellion, Koolik is setting the stage for breakout success. The 22-year-old artist's debut EP ‘Paradise Valley Fault Line’ will release this summer, and he will be headlining the ‘Culdesac and Camp Tour’ which will roll up into summer camps and neighborhood culdesacs across Southern, Northeast, and Midwest U.S. cities in Summer 2022.“I have ADHD and it’s sometimes hard for me to focus on things — but with music, I get lost in it,” explains Koolik. “There is an analytical component to audio engineering which I think is so cool. From the kick drum to the snare and synthesizers, I love when everything comes together to make that final perfect sound.”Watch  the episode on YouTube Playlist on Spotify Follow us everywhereMake sure to HIT that LIKE BUTTON and SUBSCRIBE to our Channel to be notified of new episodes! Please share our pageNew episode is out every MONDAY at 12 pm Rock on! Music Junkies Support the show

ONE MORE TIME, I will ask Darran - what was it like putting your playlist together? :)  BOOM, he answered!  Darran has a wide range of music preferences, including CLASSICAL and no, it doesn't mean he's getting old.  "I REMEMBER when we would play pool, and I would go up on stage and dance in front of the whole club.  I like to be the SHINING STAR on a pedestal."   Youtube?  NEVERMIND, Darren and his team focused on iPods.   Then moved on to Podcasting.LA FEMME D'ARGENT (translated means the women of money) is slotted to be Darran's opening track for his funeral.   Mine?  WASP's FOREVER FREE.
