I never miss an episode of Only Three Lads, the weekly classic alternative music deep dive hosted by Brett Vargo and Uncle Gregg. Dana and I were guests on the show in 2024 (discussing our favorite Ramones songs), and the show always offers an entertaining immersion in the alternative music of the '70s, '80s, and '90s, with roots extending into the '60s and beyond, and forward momentum carrying us into the present day. Hell, last week's episode introduced me to the music of guests the Blue Herons, which will now be making its This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio debut this coming Sunday night. It's safe to say I'm an O3L fan.
And it was quite a thrill to tune into this week's episode (with guest Robert Ellis Orrall, as the assembled lads discuss favorite songs written for other artists) and hear Brett plug my new book Guitars Vs. Rayguns!! Short Stories And Other White Lies. HuzZAH! Brett did tell me he was going to record a brief rant on behalf of GvsR!!, but it was so cool to hear the note of validation at the beginning of the show. Brett says it's running as a bumper at the top of every O3L episode folks select this week; like Chickenman before me, I'm EVERYWHERE!
One good plug deserves another: If you're not already tuning in for each weekly jolt of Only Three Lads, I recommend ya start doing so. It's can't-miss podcasting for rockin' pop afficionados like us, and it earns that always-coveted Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) Seal O' Approval. THANK YOU, Lads!
