This is kind of a crazy episode. I get kind of personal, at least enough that it could be weird. I watched the Hulu documentary series McCartney 3, 2, 1 last weekend and had a big reaction. I talk about listening to the Beatles for the first time in 80's and how their music anchored a pretty strange childhood. www.charlieshortmusic.com www.patreon.com/charlielikesmusic

The Three Most Important Albums Part 1

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2021 Inductees

This episode is a discussion of the elements that make an artist what they are. I talk extensively about bands I've talked about before, like King Crimson, the Rolling Stones, the Who and the Supremes and bands I haven't like Frank Zappa, the Beatles and Journey. www.charlieshortmusic.com  

When is a band a band and when is it an illusion?

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees 2021

Be prepared. This is my most meandering episode yet, like all over the place. It's Warren Zevon's birthday and I'm tired and I kind of just let loose. Maybe that's ok and maybe that's not. So if you want to hear me swear a lot, this is the episode for you. Oh, also, I am a Warren Zevon fan, but I might say some things that are not nice about him, so be warned... www.charlieshortmusic.com www.patreon.com/charlielikesmusic

The Warren Zevon Episode

Hey I'm back! After a tremendously tumultuous 2020, I review some music that I listened to last year. I may also go after Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band as well as Rock and Roll. www.charlieshortmusic.com www.patreon.com/charlielikesmusic

Stax 101

This week, inspired by Top 5 lists, I tell a little story of music that inspires me and how it doesn't fit a Top 5 List. www.charlielikesmusic.com www.patreon.com/charlielikesmusic www.estheticlens.com  

Why I Like Music or Top 5 Lists Aren't A Great Way To Meet New People

After I got a text from my friend Bill about music in different eras being perceived differently in hindsight,  I began to think about how we listen as music unfolds and how access to older music has increased over time. www.charlieshortmusic.com www.patreon.com/charlielikesmusic www.estheticlens.com
