Episode 18 - Arthur McArthur

Hey, there! Welcome back to Hit My Music. I know it's been a while, but I'm back with a brand new episode featuring my conversation with the strongest man in all the land, one half of the AIW Tag Team Champions, none other than Arthur McArthur.

Listen in, as we talk about dad's cruisin', the music that moms and sisters made him listen to, and how one goes about finding music that will fit for an old timey strong man.

Episode 17 - Please Rise!

Welcome back to Hit My Music. I want to apologize up front for the fact that I sound like Clint from Hershey, PA...I was diagnosed with Covid this week, but I wanted to get the episode out while it was still somewhat topical.

This episode represents a bit of a shift in the podcast. There's no guest this week, just me, talking about some different patriotic songs to open wrestling shows. I hope everyone enjoys it.

Episode 16 - Jaden Newman

Thank you for downloading Hit My Music! 

 

This week, my guest is El Numero Uno, Ichiban, Number One...Jaden Newman. This young man from Tennesse has experience beyond his years, and we talk about how he started, specifically first theme songs, and how they fit with his initial gimmick. We talk about how a public version of a personal life can influence character, and by extension entrance music. I find that Jaden and I have some common ground in terms of concert going experiences. And we talk about an exciting musical development for Jaden's career.

This is a fun episode. Enjoy!

Episode 15 - Ernie Osiris

We're back!

This week's episode features my conversation with former Ring of Honor staple, and one of the longest tenured members of the Embassy, Ernie Osiris. This is a fun conversation, and features talk of a lot of different artists, but it's clear that Ernie has his foots firmly planted in hip hop and rap. In addition to being a fun conversation, we talk about some real issues. Specifically, those of Ernie's struggles with addiction, and how music can be a trigger for that. 

Thanks to Ernie for coming on the show, and thank you for downloading!

Episode 14 - Kevin ”The Man” Graham

Thanks for downloading episode 14 of Hit My Music. This week's guest is Kevin "The Man" Graham, who I got to know when we were opponents during the Tournament of Champions on The A Show, on CKCC Radio. Kevin was a staple in east coast independents throughout the 2010s, and can now be found on Brain Wreck TV on YouTube.

 

In our conversation, Kevin and I discuss his DJ father's vinyl collection, finding new genres/artists through a sort of reverse engineering, and learning to get past initial impressions of certain types of music. We also discuss trying to find the right theme for your first wrestling match, and the journey Kevin took in that regard, as well as discussions with friends and tag team partners about when it's right to change your music.

Episode 13 - Ska Round Table Special

Thanks for downloading Hit My Music! This week's episode is a special episode, as I've gathered four additional wrestling content creators to talk about one of our favorite genres of music, ska. Ed from Pod Van Dam, Chris and Matt from The A Show, and Peter DeLonge from Peter DeLonge Talks on YouTube (links below) have joined me for a really fun discussion.

We discuss our favorite ska bands, favorite ska albums, how Christian ska kept the genre alive, what bands are not necessarily our cups of tea, and a whole bunch of other nonsense. We even find out that Ed, unsurprisingly, has never heard of Serpico. There are a handful of really fun and interesting stories centered around ska scenes, and it's just a generally good time.

Episode 12 - ”The Weirdster” Evan Ambrose

Thank you for listening to Hit My Music!

This week, I have the pleasure of speaking with “The Weirdster” Evan Ambrose. He has some interesting taste in music that starts with Don McLean and winds through ska, folk punk, and Italo Disco. As always, we talk about entrance themes, but not just Evan’s. We go down a weird rabbit hole dissecting the lyrics to Billy Kidman’s theme, “You Can Run”, and Evan name drops Johnny Gargano, who had to break it to Evan that DMX did not do that song. This was a very fun discussion, and you can listen to the end of the episode to hear Evan’s new theme song in full.

Episode 11 - Logan Easton Laroux

Thank you for downloading Hit My Music!

You may have seen this week's guest on AEW programming, or all over promotions that have been affiliated with IWTV during his career. He is the champion of the 1%, Logan Easton Laroux. 

In my discussion with Logan, we talk about trying to play the drums, uncles with massive cd collections, and Soundcloud rappers. We also discuss the theme songs that he's used throughout multiple phases of his career, including one that sounds suspiciously like a WWF theme from the early 90s.

Episode 10 - Hallowicked

Thanks so much for downloading this episode of Hit My Music. My guest this week is none other than the Broadsword of Nazmaldun himself, Hallowicked. He graciously allowed me, the one known as Swinetooth, to interview him about all things music.

In our conversation, we talk about the magical properties of music, and those who make it. We talk about music that makes the best soundtrack for chasing down campers, and the post-chase relaxation. We talk about boom boxes being left in the woods of Sleepy Hollow, and the bonus uses of D batteries. We also talk about heavy nonsense, and authoritarian garbage.

In the second half of the show, we go through the entrance themes that Hallowicked has used throughout the years, which leads to discussions of theme songs that Eddie Kingston hates, wrestlers who buy a lot of movie soundtracks, and Hallowicked gives his thoughts on the late Larry Sweeney.

Episode 9 - Shane Hagadorn

As always, thanks for listening to Hit My Music. This week, my guest is former ROH wrestler and manager, Shane Hagadorn. Listen in, as we chat about his varied musical history, and discover that we have a lot in common musically. Later, we talk about finding the right song for a character after using a "wrong" song, checking off a bucket list item in the world of wrestling, finding himself and his character, and we trace the entrance themes that Shane has used throughout his career, including a theme that would be created in part by a future colleague of his.
