Description
A podcast about the mid-life & times of an aging metalhead & his stupid love of live (heavy) music. I'm too old, it's too loud & I don't care.
Your host Tor Hansen tells stories from Yesterday& Today (Y&T pun intended). Every episode brings an album of the week and a review of the concerts he's been to. It's almost always Metal, or Hardcore, or Metalcore, or Metallic Hardcore , you get the idea. Plus if you aren't about the metal but like the stories we have a special segment for you. Bangers for Beginners brings you one song every week that is hand-picked to start you on your own journey towards Metalhead...dom. There's some parenting stuff, some coming-of-age stuff, and lots of heavy music stuff. So pull up beside Tor at the edge of the pit and enjoy the show.

Send us a text Lots o’ Music this week. This week, your friendly neighborhood f**khead brings you a playlist reminiscent of Summers bygone, foretelling of Summers never to come, and above all, a playlist as non-sensical as this description. Apologies upfront, I put my favorite M. Manson song on this playlist but I still think he's a mostly unsupportable stain of a person. Come for my bad mood killing the vibe, stay for reasons unknown. If you want to listen to the playlist in it's unf...

Send us a text It's bonus time before we hit the end of year listravaganza. In truth I am testing out a couple of potential new segments.

This installment its Generation Terrorists by Manic Street Preachers. Second Segment: Billboard, bangers, bashers, blasts, ball crushers, something like that... Here I look back at the...
