From the guys who coined the term Yacht Rock (and brought you the Internet show of the same name) comes a deeper dive into the ocean of arbitrary genres. Every week, J.D. Ryznar, Hunter Stair, "Hollywood" Steve Huey, and David "Koko" Lyons choose a captain to invent a new arbitrary musical genre, and count down the Top Ten songs that define it. And for Yacht Rock fans, every episode also spotlights a bonus Yacht Rock Bone Throw track. Set sail with this crew of music obsessives...there are treasures to be found!
Hosts:
JD Ryznar is a Hollywood writer. He knows very little about music, but enjoys imagining elaborate scenarios inspired by popular songs.
David B Lyons is a Hollywood Location Manager. He knows a little about music, but feels the need to compartmentalize genres, then rank them.
Hollywood Steve Huey is a former staff writer for Allmusic.com, a former talking head for VH1, and currently the only unmarried man on this podcast.
