Every song has a story. My Weekly Mixtape blends artist interviews, curated playlists, music discovery, and nostalgia into conversations that go beyond the music. Less debate. More connection. 🎧 New episodes weekly, so it's not just a clever name! myweeklymixtape.com

Anyone who remembers parachute day in elementary school gym class knows it was impossible to have a bad time! 🪂 So... what band or artist gives you that same feeling?

The name Parker Barrow is inspired by Bonnie & Clyde—but the real story runs much deeper. Megan Kane & Dylan Turner join me to talk survival, life on the road, Hold the Mash, social media pressure, and what it really takes to build a band that lasts. You know what to do! 🤘🏼

Rest in Power Jennifer. 🙏🏼

Stumbled across a copy of 21 Guns' "Salute" CD earlier today. It was released in 1992 and features Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy on guitar. Anyone else ever have this one in their collection?

What's a 10+ minute song that never feels its length? This week, I pick 10 rock epics that earn every second of your time. Drop yours below! 🕰️

Yesterday, I snagged a 4-pack of 90's Hip Hop from Jacks Music in Red Bank, NJ. Physical media will always be king.🤘🏼

I think my Apple Music account had a few too many this Friday night. 😂

⏰ Time flies... ...especially when the song is over 10 minutes long and somehow feels half that. If you've ever looked at the timer after a song ended and thought, "Wait...that was over 10 minutes?" — this one's for you. 🎧 Patreon members are listening now. Link in bio.

Some memories feel too unbelievable to be real. On June 17, 2000, I somehow went from the crowd to center stage with Poison—singing KISS' "Rock and Roll All Nite" into Bret Michaels' mic in front of thousands. No video. No selfies. Just one Rikki Rockett drumstick + this story.

When I asked everyone to help spread the word, I probably should've been more specific.

Tom Keifer of Cinderella rebuilt everything—voice, identity, career—after vocal cord paralysis. Resilience, recovery, and a career that’s Still Climbing today. All this week on MWM.

In 1990, Rachel Bolan's bass line in Skid Row's "Piece of Me" made me want to pick up a bass. This week, he joins me to discuss music, creativity, New Jersey, and the making of his new studio album "Gargoyle of the Garden State."🤘🏼

Giving Chris Cornell's "No One Sings Like You Anymore, Vol. 1" a spin. These covers are all top notch. He really puts his stamp on each and every one. There'll never be another voice like his. 🙌🏼

Today's CD haul. Between yesterday & today, this should keep me busy for a while. (Who am I kidding?!?) 🤘🏼

It's not just a clever sign... 🤘🏼

Today's CD haul checked off a few boxes I've been chasing for a while. Always a good day when the hunt pays off. 🤘🏼

Time to spin Des Rocs' new album, "To Hell & Back." Been looking forward to this one! 🤘🏼

Can slowing things down turn energy into vulnerability, or nostalgia into an emotional gut punch? This week, I explore why slower cover songs often hit harder than the originals, taking familiar pop, rock, and dance hits and reshaping them into something far more intimate.

Coming this Monday to the Patreon Early Access feed, and 6/15 to the main feeds, I'm joined by Rachel Bolan of Skid Row to dive into his debut album Gargoyle of the Garden State and how it leans into his punk influences while still reflecting decades of defining Skid Row’s sound.

Can you narrow 25 years of dance classics into 10 songs? Nice try if you say it's easy! This week we dive into the tracks that kept crowds moving from the early 2000s straight through today — ten songs that shaped twenty-five years of pop music. Link in bio to listen!

Yo Mona Lisa, could I get a date on Friday?

Shinedown’s "EI8HT" is incredible — both sonically and musically. Eric Bass’ production takes an already fantastic album and launches it, pun firmly intended, into the stratosphere. I’m genuinely honored that My Weekly Mixtape got to play a small part in the lead-up to it. 🙏🏼

If you're headed out on a Memorial Day Weekend road trip, I've got 10 perfect Tom Petty songs to soundtrack the drive. myweeklymixtape.com/2026/05/17/s...

I can't believe it's been one year already. Cranking this in your honor today dad. I love you! 🫡 Fuck cancer.

I miss when the top 100 was a smorgasbord of genres. I vividly remember listening to Z100 in New York and hearing KISS followed by Bell Biv DeVoe followed by Adam Ant, and yet it all made sense.

Thirty years after “Ledbetter Heights,” Kenny Wayne Shepherd joins me to look back at the songs that launched it all — how they’ve evolved, what still connects, and why records like this never really leave us. 🔗 in comments!

Spend the weekend spinning "Ledbetter Heights: The 30th Anniversary Sessions" — then join me Monday as Kenny Wayne Shepherd stops by to talk about 30 years of hindsight, history, and the legacy behind the album that started it all!
