Hit My Music

Episode 5 - Danger Dean

It's time again for another episode of Hit My Music. This week, my guest is from my neck of the woods. Danger Dean grew up in Colorado, and started his wrestling career here. He recently moved to Washington State, and has been starting to make his name there as well, in addition to occasionally returning to the Denver area to compete.

 

In addition to being a professional wrestler, Danger Dean has a career as a radio personality. He spent a lot of years working for 98.9 FM in Colorado Springs, so I thought he would be a fun guest to have on to talk about music, both in and out of wrestling. And I wasn't wrong.

 

This was a very fun conversation, and we talk about everything from ICP to the golden oldies. We talk about how radio led to his entry into professional wrestling, and how excited he was for his first match to be for a championship. His entrance themes have run a bit of a gamut that leads from Powerman 5000 to Kenny Loggins (sort of), and we even hear some stock music, and there's a very special appearance by a dream guest of this show...or, his guitar, at least.

Episode 4 - Sue Jackson

This week on Hit My Music, my guest is Sue Jackson. We start off talking about the two cassettes that his mother kept in her car, which formed his musical base. From there we talk about growing up in the early 90s, discovering grunge and hip hop, finding bands with instrumenting instrumentation choices, and the stigma of being a late 90s teen boy who liked boy bands, which evolves into a discussion of favorite *NSync members.

In the second half of the show, we talk about the effectiveness of the Ultimate Warrior in bringing kids to wrestling, his different entrance themes, and his dream entrance theme. Along the way we talk about the un-suitability of "A Boy Named Sue" for an entrance, no matter how "obvious" it may seem, using one's trainer's theme in representing them, and double stomps to the back of the head...ouch.

Thanks for listening! If you'd like to get these episodes early, you can check out my Patreon.

Episode 3 - Travis Huckabee

This week on Hit My Music, I am joined by Travis Huckabee. The Golden Grappler takes us through his musical life, from listening to Dr. Demento tapes with his dad to what music had been playing at the Crossfit gym he coaches at the week we recorded this show. Along the way, we talk about Orange Cassidy wanting to see 3OH!3, walking around the 2018 Warped Tour in wrestling trunks, Cowboy Thursday, and learning to flamenco strum the guitar.

 

In the second half of the show, we concentrate on wrestling in music. There's discussion of favorite entrance themes, and what wrestling themes are on his gym playlists. We talk about what makes a good entrance theme. And we also dive into Travis' wrestling entrance themes. We start with the early struggles with his theme songs (if you're familiar with the early portion of his career, you know what I'm talking about). From there, we talk about trying to get a theme song for the Rumblebees, in an effort to ditch the first theme, the trouble with trying to communicate with sound people, and commissioning a custom theme...now with 100% more Nicolas Cage.

Episode 2 - Dan Champion

Thanks for downloading the second episode of Hit My Music.

 

On this week's episode, I sit down with Dan Champion. If you follow Dan on Twitter, than you are probably aware of his deep abiding fandom of Bruce Springsteen, which we definitely talk about. We discuss how he got there, and which of the Boss's songs are his favorites (spoiler...there are a lot.) 

 

We also talk about why the nu metal songs of the early 2000s might not work as entrance themes. We follow up on some themes from episode 1. And this podcast, along with his performance at BasketBrawl 2021, may have helped him find his entrance theme song going forward.

Episode 1 - The Boar

Welcome to the first official episode of Hit My Music.

This episode's guest is none other than Pig Daddy Cool, himself, The Boar. Listen as we chat about growing up listening to pop music, transitioning to a life of listening to no secular music, and then discovering the glory of early Britney Spears. We also discuss the various entrance themes he's used throughout his career, and why Demi Lovato has the perfect song for two large wrestlers to enter to.

The Run Up Episode 2 (Everlasting Minute - Episode 88)

Thank you for downloading from the Hit My Music Feed.

Tomorrow, the first regular episode of Hit My Music will be released. But first, as an introduction to me as a podcaster, I present an out of context episode of a Movies by Minutes podcast, episode 88 of Everlasting Minute, which was a deep dive into Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

From the original release:

"In minute 88, Mike Teevee is interrupting Willy Wonka, and explains television poorly. Wonka explains how he created Wonkavision…poorly. Also, we realize how much of this scene is lost in translation with today’s television technology. Jason explains his version of 4K to David. We briefly discuss video formats, and why formats end up being adopted. Jason makes a Star Trek reference that completely goes over David’s head. Wonka gives us another literary quote, and we talk Lewis Carroll’s gifts to the literary canon. "

Thank you for listening, and I hope you're looking forward to the first episode of Hit My Music Later this week.
