Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1221452/open_sms] A Very 70's Christmas: Silent Nights and Scandalous Lights It's the holidays and the Back in Time Brothers Lou and DJ Paulie are bringing Christmas cheer right here. Join us as we dive into A Very '70s Christmas, exploring the decade's grooviest most chaotic and most unforgettable holiday moments. On this episode, prepare for: • The Ultimate '70s Soundtrack: Hear 12 original non-cover Christmas songs from 1970–1979. We spin soulful classics by Donnie Hathaway ("This Christmas") and the anti-war anthem from John Lennon and Yoko Ono ("Happy Christmas (War Is Over)"). We rock out with glam anthems like Slade's "Merry Christmas Everybody" and Wizard's "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day," and feature progressive rock from Greg Lake ("I Believe in Father Christmas"). We also highlight The Kinks' social commentary with "Father Christmas" and the shimmering synthesizer sound of Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime." • Silent Nights and Scandalous Lights (Rock Talk): This segment reveals the drama behind the tinsel. Discover the high-pressure childhood of the Jackson 5 while recording their Christmas album which required endless touring rehearsals and late-night tapings. Hear about the near-disaster when a KISS pyro charge misfired during a 1974 Michigan show nearly turning the stage into a flaming ornament. Plus we cover the tense improvised creation of David Bowie and Bing Crosby's iconic "Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy" duet which was written on the spot because Bowie hated the original song. • Busted on the Back in Time Radio Show (Stupid Christmas Criminals): We expose bizarre true tales including the case of the drunk Santa who stole his own suit at a food court bar in Minneapolis the man who sabotaged a gingerbread house contest in Albany and the elf impersonator caught with three wallets stuffed in her tights at a corporate party in Columbus. We also recount the international case of the German ceramic mug thieves at a Munich Christmas market. • The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of '70s Toys: Get nostalgic with the origins of the Nerf ball (the first indoor ball) and the beloved Atari 2600. Cringe at the anatomically correct Joey Stivic Baby Doll which had a "drink and wet feature." Finally remember the terrifying danger of toys like Lawn Darts (Jarts) which caused numerous injuries and deaths and shattering acrylic Clackers. Pull on those fuzzy slippers and turn up the volume—we’re delivering soul glam rock and roll madness wrapped in one glittering holiday package.

This isn’t just a countdown—it's a full-on cinematic rock riot. DJ Brit takes the reins with a sonic tour of movie-made music legends so convincing you’ll swear you saw them on tour. From metal gods who melted amps to soulful crooners who made us believe in the power of a horn section, these fictional bands left fingerprints all over pop culture—and in some cases, chart history! Inside this episode: 🎸 THE FAKE BAND HALL OF FAME • Spinal Tap — The loudest, proudest, and most catastrophically clueless metal band ever created. They didn’t make the top spot… they DESTROYED it. • The Blues Brothers — A rhythm-and-blues rampage that turned suits and sunglasses into a religion. • The Commitments — Proof that Irish soul is not only real—it can raise the dead. • The Wonders — The ‘60s pop band that gave us one of cinema’s catchiest earworms. (You’re humming it now, aren’t you?) • Eddie and the Cruisers — A band so mysterious fans still argue about whether their story was actually fiction. • Daisy Jones & The Six — A modern masterpiece that feels like Fleetwood Mac had a baby with a rock documentary. • School of Rock — When detention becomes destiny and kids shred harder than grown men in leather pants. PLUS THE BROTHERS GO OFF THE RAILS (as usual): 🚓 BUSTED When criminals forget to think: • The lasagna-loving burglar who ate himself unconscious • The robber who wore his own name tag to the crime You can’t make this stuff up… but thankfully, someone did. 🎙️ ROCK TALK with Todd Snider What do Led Zeppelin stairwells, bathroom echo chambers, and bizarre recording hacks have in common? More rock history than your high school ever taught you. 🐖 RANDOM FACTS • The man whose ashes literally rest in a Pringles can • A group of flamingos = a flamboyance (which honestly feels right) • And yes… the fact about the pig. The very long, very disturbing fact about the pig. WHY YOU CAN’T MISS THIS EPISODE Because no other show can take you from fictional rock gods, to criminal idiots, to porcine passion, and somehow make it all feel like one glorious journey through the absurdity of entertainment history. By the time it's over, you won't just love fake film bands—  you’ll want to start one. 🎧 Tune in, turn it up, and tell your friends. Next week: Cult Metal Classics — and trust us, it gets even weirder. Support the show [https://paypal.me/BackinTimeBrothers] Thanks for listening.

High School Hits of the 70s

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1221452/open_sms] The Back in Time Brothers: High School Hits of the 70s Get ready to jump, get ready to sway! Join DJ Paulie and his brother Lou—The Back in Time Brothers—as heard on URL radio for a wild trip back to the 70s.  We’re diving deep into the High School Hits of the 70s, the tracks that became the soundtrack to growing up in the decade of lava lamps and Letterman jackets. Lace up your sneakers and crank the volume as we revisit the rock anthems that blasted out of Trans Ams, including Ted Nugent’s guitar-fueled "Strangle Hold", Deep Purple's "Highway Star" (a badge of cool for teens who loved cars and guitars), and Head East’s "Never Been Any Reason," often nicknamed the rock and roll national anthem. We’ve got the full rock spectrum, from the raw blues-driven rocker "Tush" by ZZ Top, to the ultimate cruising music, Fog Hat’s "Slow Ride", all the way up to Edgar Winter Group’s feel-good classic, "Free Ride". And when the lights dimmed at the gym? We’ve got the ultimate teenage heartbreak ballad, Nazareth’s "Love Hurts," which filled high school proms. But we’re more than just classic rock! The Back in Time Brothers bring the laughs with their infamous segments: * Rock Talk: 70s Fads: Expert Todd Snyder deep-dives into the wonderfully weird world of 70s culture. We explore everything from the infamous Pet Rock (which sold over 1.5 million units for $3.95 a piece), to the mystical and pseudoscientific mood ring, and the bizarre cultural juggernaut of streaking (a competitive sport on college campuses). We’ll also look at how Happy Days gave us the phrase “jump the shark” when The Fonz water-skied over one! * Stupid Criminals: Tune in for a weekly lineup of losers, dimwitted schemes, and laughable mistakes. Hear about the woman busted for dressing in a hot dog costume and covering her neighbor's car in toilet paper, or the man who decided to sell marijuana to raise money to afford police academy. * Random Facts: Lou and Paul share bizarre scientific and animal tidbits, like how one teaspoon of neutron star material would weigh billions of tons and why a bearcat smells like hot buttered popcorn! * Bad Dates: Listen to real-life dating disasters, including a guy who threw the ends of French fries on the floor, another who immediately called his blind date "average looking", and a disastrous encounter involving a Bills-themed man cave and a perplexing "mommy kink". So, slip on those bell bottoms, adjust the leisure suit lapels, and get ready to be taken on a free ride. The Back in Time Brothers are bringing the sound and the laughs!
