Green Beans, Mushroom Soup, & Strawberry Ice Cream_with your host Marc Gladstone

Ever wondered why an established artist records someone else's song? Why not just record another original? Well... the cover tunes that well-established artists record must be pretty special right? Exactly... thanks for keeping up! Check out songs from Pink Floyd, Linkin Park, Joni Mitchell, Pearl Jam, George Michael, Prince, Alanis Morrisette... only they're not really on this show - only their songs are... and a whole whack of soul tunes redone!

There's a whole whack of great talent, right here in our backyard of Vancouver, BC... almost enough for a "Local Traffic" show! Not quite though, so I did have to pull in a few out-of-towners for "Mostly Local Traffic". Some real quality music here though - and you've never heard it before. Be the first one on your block! That makes you one of the cool ones! Featuring "Ophelia Falling", "Matlen Starsley Band", "Hot Lips", "The Steve Keenan Band", "Camille Miller", "The Blue Voodoo", "Stotan...

The Cutting Edge is back! All new music, all released between late September and late December... Fall 2020 saw some names we haven't seen in too long as well as new releases from familiar artists... check out, brand new Steven Wilson, LP, Ryan Adams, Art Bergmann, Taylor Swift (yes, that's what I said... and it's awesome), Saga, AC/DC and more!! New music is alive and kicking!!

We're back with "Trading Places"... this is round 3 of this series. It's like when you have an argument with your best friend about who was the best singer for Van Halen or Deep Purple (both can be found on round 2), or AC/DC (round 1)... and now we've moved a little into the progrock field. Check out the lead singers of Kansas... Genesis... Toto... bet you missed some of them!

The Cutting Edge is back again for another round! This time out, Summer of 2020 and I can't believe how much cool new music there is out... who'd have guessed with the pandemic raging, that recording musicians would be able to generate amazing product like this. All of the music on this show was released during the summer season of 2020. Check out brand new Kansas - been awhile for these guys... brand new stuff from The Jayhawks... new stuff from The Pretenders!! Who? Wow! That's been...

One of your favourite bands replaces the lead singer; could be his heart's not in it anymore... could be he doesn't want to tour anymore... maybe he died... maybe he no longer gets along with the rest of the band. It doesn't really matter the reason - it happens all the time. So now what? Now you don't like them anymore, because they've got a new guy? Now they're just a tribute band? What? Like AC/DC? Like Van Halen? Like a thousand others? I don't think so... I say if they're still writing,...

How many times have you heard someone say, "They're just a tribute band now, because..." and mostly it's because the lead vocalist (and maybe others as well) has left the band for whatever reason. I say if the band is still recording, then they're still viable... maybe even better... it's happened. On this show and others coming up in the future, I'll present some of the bands who've changed their frontman, lead vocalist and still thrived... there's plenty of them! Just one example to whet...

Winter 2020... so much new music here! It was hard to pare this down to a manageable, quarterly episode... I'm all over the map with regards to genre in this show... there's hard rock with new music from Stabbing Westward (finally)... new single releases from Stereophonics and Blue October... some amazing new music from Alanis Morissette... pop from The Weeknd... and some of the best conceptual music from Eminem in a very long time! It all adds up to "you need to hear this stuff"...

Check this show out when you have some time... you know, if time allows that is... 'cause I think it's time you did... all in good time... You get the idea I'm sure... this show features some of the many songs focusing on time... some on running out of time... some just focused on the fact that time keeps ticking... there's 11 songs here and every one of them features "time"... every one of them has the word, "time" in the title... as a matter of fact, the first 6 songs are ALL simply...

The name of this show is "Who Wrote That?", because you probably don't know... some of your favourite songs, written between 1980 and 2010 were written by 3 songwriters... 1) Desmond Child; 2) Diane Warren; 3) Ian Thomas... find out who wrote these amazing songs... some of the songs on this show are performed by the bands that made them popular... and some... by the writers themselves... and one! is the actual demo that made Bon Jovi stand up and take notice... hearing Desmond Child perform...

So... I was gonna post something, but I smoked a big gagger and now I... oh yeah, right... my show... Green Beans, Mushroom Soup & Strawberry Ice Cream... tonight at 9pm... uh, what was I saying?... right, the show... it’s called, “Songs and Drugs”... all about... damn, what’s it all about... Alfie?... no, no, no... all about songs written under the influence... and songs just about drugs in general... because, everybody must get stoned!! Support this podcast

Fall 2019... where does the time go? This is all brand new music, released in the past 3 months, in... you guessed it... the fall of 2019! It's called, "The Cutting Edge" and this one's featuring songs from Coldplay, Randy McStine, Beck, Half Moon Run and, believe it or not, Harry Nilsson... and he's been gone for years!! How's that even possible?

Ever wondered what it would be like to have someone peering over your shoulder, or recording everything you say to deem whether it was fit for human consumption? For everything you write? Songwriters have succumbed to censors time and time again... BUT! There are some who sneak by... and in this episode of GBMSSIC we salute them! Songs by The Kinks, Paul McCartney, Lou Reed, Prince, Rod Stewart, The Police, The Rolling Stones... all great songs... all escaping censorship!

Just like the title says... there's a lot of these and some will surprise. Many of the artists in these shows have gone on to do other things, but in this form - at this time in their career - under this name, they're one hit wonders... see how many you recognize! Remember Ace? Til Tuesday? Argent? Diesel? Donnie Iris? No? Then you need to listen to this show... I'm betting you've heard most of these before, but never knew who was responsible...

The Cutting Edge is all about new music - brand new in the past 3 months... a seasonal thing... the summer's version features music from Tool, Collective Soul, the Zac Brown Band, Keane, Stone Poets, The Tea Party, City and Colour and Robbie Robertson... check this show out for your direct line to what's been really cool in the last season!!

Hang out with me and check out some slightly off-beat time signatures on a show called, "What Time is it?"... the entire show will be songs that are a little outside the norm, as far as timing goes, but you might not even know it - all written from the "song first" philosophy, so the "out of the box" timing sneaks right in there...

Day 4 of what (was) supposed to be the biggest festival of the year in Canada... tonight's headliner is Aerosmith... bands like Matthew Good, Theory of a Deadman, I Mother Earth supporting them... could've been amazing...

3rd day of this iconic event! The headliner in tonight's lineup is none other than Kid Rock... some amazing bands on this bill! Check it out!

There's still plenty of good music out there, kids! Join me in discovering some of the best of 2019's spring season... featuring the likes of Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Stone Poets, Hot Chip, City and Colour... tons more!

Ever wondered what music would be like today if Led Zeppelin never existed? Me either, but at least we don't have to! One of the most influential rock and roll bands ever... check this iconic album out... Led Zeppelin... the first album... released in 1969... hear it again for the first time!
