My Weekly Mixtape: A Playlist Curation Podcast

As we gear up for the return of My Weekly Mixtape next week, we’re throwing it back to this season 1 episode where I was joined by modern rock powerhouse Emily Wolfe, to co-curate a playlist celebrating the women who defined ’90s rock.  From grunge and alt-rock to chart-topping anthems, these female artists broke boundaries and inspired generations. Join us as we rediscover the songs that still sound as fierce and fearless today as they did three decades ago! Theme music is "Unveiled" by The 4th. You can find the album on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, YouTube, Bandcamp & more!

In case the title isn't a complete spoiler, My Weekly Mixtape is coming back for a brand new season this November! Considering season one lasted nearly 3.5 years and 150 episodes, I decided to post this episode to update everyone as to what's been going on in my life the last several months, as well as introduce a new episode format, that I'll need all of the fellow mixtapers' help to bring to life! I thank you all for your patience, love and understanding as I've dealt with the loss of my father. Your actions & kindness have meant the world to me during the most difficult time of my life.

In this throwback episode, I’m joined by Bill Manspeaker of the outrageous Green Jellÿ⁠ for one of the most fascinating—and NSFW—interviews I’ve ever recorded. We dive deep into the band’s wild history, including their Guinness World Record for the most band members (with over 900 members worldwide at the time of recording!), their chaotic appearance on The Gong Show, and the infamous moment Joey Ramone called them the worst band The Ramones ever played with. Bill shares behind-the-scenes stories about producing the Cereal Killer VHS and soundtrack one video at a time, and how the band once held the record for the highest-debuting rock single in UK chart history. We also explore the band’s ties to Tool, their legal battle over the name Green Jellö, and their collaboration with Marvel Comics on Carnage Rules. Other unforgettable moments include recording “I’m the Leader of the Gang (I Am)” with Hulk Hogan, working with (or without) Metallica in regards to the breakdown in “Electric Harley House (Of Love),” working on music videos for 2Pac, Marilyn Manson, and “Weird Al” Yankovic, touring with KISS during their 1997 reunion, and performing at the Gathering of the Juggalos alongside Insane Clown Posse.
