Music Rewind Podcast

We turn our attention to one of the most vital and uncompromising albums of the 20th century: London Calling by The Clash. Released in 1979, the album blew the doors off punk’s limitations, fusing reggae, ska, rockabilly, soul, and straight-up rock ’n’ roll into a politically charged, genre-defying statement. London Calling wasn’t just an album — it was a worldview, capturing a moment of social unrest, cultural collision, and creative fearlessness that still resonates today.

Season 5 — Episode 2
Album: London Calling
Artist: The Clash
Year: 1979

To help unpack the album’s enduring legacy, we’re joined by Rob Janicke, author, musician, and longtime cultural commentator. Together, we dig into how London Calling expanded what punk could be, why it connected so deeply across class and genre lines, and how The Clash balanced righteous anger with accessibility and ambition. From its iconic opening bassline to its global perspective and restless experimentation, this episode explores why London Calling remains a blueprint for artists who refuse to stay in their lane — and why its message still hits hard decades later.

Guest: Rob Janicke
Rob Janicke is an author, musician, and cultural commentator with a deep focus on how music reflects and shapes generational identity. As the author of Slacker - 1991, Teen Spirit Angst, and the Generation It Created, Rob explores the cultural forces, technological shifts, and artistic movements that defined a pivotal era in modern music. Drawing from both his work as a writer and a practicing musician, he brings a sharp, historically grounded perspective to the conversation — helping connect London Calling’s rebellious spirit to the broader story of how music scenes form, fracture, and evolve over time.

In this Season 5 premiere episode of The Music Rewind Podcast, we dive headfirst into one of the most daring left turns in modern music history: Radiohead’s Kid A. Released in 2000, the album shattered expectations, abandoned guitar-driven alt-rock, and redefined what a mainstream band could be.

To help unpack its legacy, impact, and continued relevance, we’re joined by Jon D’Auria, Editor-in-Chief of Bass Magazine. Together, we explore how Kid A challenged listeners, reshaped the industry, and continues to influence artists decades later. From its icy electronic textures to its rejection of traditional rock tropes, this episode examines why Kid A remains one of the most important albums of the 21st century — and why it still sparks debate today.

Season 5 — Episode 1
Album: Kid A
Artist: Radiohead
Year: 2000

Guest: Jon D’Auria
Jon D’Auria is the Editor-in-Chief of Bass Magazine and a respected voice in music journalism. With years of experience covering artists, albums, and the evolving role of bass in modern music, Jon brings deep industry insight and historical context to the conversation. His perspective helps illuminate not only how Kid A was received at the time, but why it continues to resonate with musicians and fans alike.
