Rich and Danny spend more than an hour-and-a-half digging into the brilliant music made by Huey Lewis & The News. They explore the nuances and attention to detail for which the band was famous. They discuss the groups undeniable influence on all pop music over the past thirty years, and even select their favorite bands of the 21st century that they…

This week Rich and Danny finally feel ready to pay homage to one of the great musical minds of our time. Quincy Jones passed away in November, and the boys have taken the time to bring together what they feel is a good representation of his career through the music that he wrote, produced and arranged. And folks the music this week is just superb. …

Rich and Danny take some time (but not enough time) to wish the great Willie Nelson a happy 92nd birthday. Really, this show is them playing a bunch of his songs and just kind of marveling at the depth and breadth of his crazy remarkable career. Listen to them fanboy if you want, but the music on this show is – obviously – amazing.…

Rich and Danny indulge themselves in 80’s nostalgia as they discuss the biggest television show of their teenage years, and break down the significant influence Miami Vice had on the music industry back in the day.By Rich Larson and Daniel G. Moir

Tonight Rich and Danny thoroughly enjoy themselves going through another batch of One Hit Wonders. They actually get along really well on the show tonight. Yes, that’s weird, but don’t let it throw you off. Just enjoy the music.By Rich Larson and Daniel G. Moir

A topic that Rich suggested, simply because he has been afraid Danny would come to him and want to do a Mr. Roboto Show, or something. He needn’t have worried, however, because Paradise Theatre is the point that Danny regards as the creative peak of Styx, one of his favorite bands. The album tells the story of the venerable old theater in Chicago t…

Danny takes the week off, and in come Mrs. Moxie and Rich’s dear friend since early childhood, Kate Pehrson, to celebrate the magnificence, the majesty, and the exquisite glory of Cher. Seriously – Rich, his oldest friend, a Drag Queen and Cher. What else do you need?By Rich Larson and Daniel G. Moir

Rich and Danny go through their complicated relationship with Eric Clapton, and pretty much just gush about his music. It’s that kind of show tonight.By Rich Larson and Daniel G. Moir

This week, Rich and Danny explore the world of the epic song. The music on this show is the stuff of euphoria for a music producer. These songs all start out as just a melody on a guitar or a piano, but eventually turn into forces of nature packed with instrumentation, grandiose arrangements, and oh-so-much drama. It’s a long show, but it’s a very …

Using the new Led Zeppelin documentary, Becoming Led Zeppelin, as a good excuse, Rich and Danny pretty well just geek out over the band’s heralded second album, Led Zeppelin II.By Rich Larson and Daniel G. Moir

This week, Annie Larson joins her husband Rich for what is now their annual Valentines Day Show. They try really, really hard to not be sappy and all that, but let’s be honest, they’re adorable. Happy Valentines Day!By Rich Larson and Daniel G. Moir

Rich is just positively giddy, because Phil Collins’ third solo album, No Jacket Required, was his favorite album in high school, and he still loves the music deeply. The boys talk a lot about something called Gated Reverb, discuss the mystery of the “bonus track,” and break down No Jacket Required as the album approaches the 40th anniversary of it…

This week, on the night before the legendary Teri Kath’s 79th birthday, Rich and Danny take a look at one of the finest horn bands ever to play rock & roll. No real arguments. No meltdowns. No passive aggressive dissing between the two of them. Just respect for a Hall of Fame band, and especially for their underrated, and tragically fallen, comrade…

Rich and Danny are joined by their friend Mike Stiles to debate and discuss the concept of “Yacht Rock.” While each of them will profess a deep affection for the music on this show, there is some question as to the legitimacy of Yacht Rock as a genre. It was only identified years after the moment had passed, and that identification came from a paro…

One of the conversations Rich and Danny had with the new year approaching was about Phil Collins and how they needed to give him more attention. This show is the first in a series of Phil Collins related editions of The Weekly List, tonight focusing on his amazing debut solo album, Face Value. You’re gonna love it, even if you think you don’t like …

The traditional first show of every new year on The Weekly List is the annual presentation of the Daniel G. Moir Music Awards. Danny’s not quite feeling the humor in the world as much as he has in past years, so he takes a more serious approach. But, it is Danny after all, so things aren’t totally somber. Also Rich runs the board on this show.…

Rich and Danny attempt to establish a tradition by inviting the two alternate co-hosts onto the show to discuss the year that was. This time, Rich’s beloved wife Annie sits in for the unavailable Kristi Pursell – perhaps next year there will be five of them in the studio? – and each host presents three songs that represent 2024 to and for them. Hap…

This show is a small dream come true for Rich. Fifty years ago next week, Bob Dylan called a small group of Twin Cities musicians together to record a few tracks for his forthcoming album, Blood on the Tracks. The product of those sessions was one half of Rich’s favorite album, and also his favorite song, Tangled Up in Blue. This week, not only doe…

Laura Meyers does her own solo show takeover – although Rich gets far more involved than anyone had planned – to bring us the 2024 installment of her annual mental-health check-in shows.By Rich Larson and Daniel G. Moir

Every year during the first week of December, Rich and Danny do a Beatles themed show in honor of John Lennon. This year, they invite their old friend Kollibri terre Sonnenblume to join them and talk about his reimagined version of the White Album as a one disc collection called Apple Cart. Three old friends playing great music by the Beatles and t…

Because who doesn’t equate Thanksgiving with The Red Rocker? Okay, Rich and Danny know the timing of this show is a little weird, but the Sammy Hagar show has been bumped at least twice since October when the boys had originally intended to do this show to celebrate Sammy’s birthday. Oh well, you’ll still get Rich and Danny’s takes on the guy they …

Thanks to a generous invitation from the members of Northfield Band Fred the Bear, Rich, Danny and their merry band of knuckleheads find themselves recording at the legendary Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls, just like Nirvana did. Except this show probably isn’t as good as In Utero. Regardless, they celebrate the location by playing music that wa…

Rich and Danny are joined by a full cast characters to discuss and digest the second election of Donald J. Trump to the American Presidency. The music is appropriate for the times.By Rich Larson and Daniel G. Moir

It’s Halloween, so a coven of witches (or as we like to call them, Annie Larson, Laura Meyers and Kristi Pursell) stopped in for the first in a series of Weekly List Takeover shows to talk about taking a bite out of the patriarchy with a list of songs by some great witches and bitches.By Rich Larson and Daniel G. Moir

This week, Danny and Rich are joined by their pal Mike Stiles to break down Meat Loaf’s magnum opus, Bat Out of Hell. It turns out this is the best selling album of all time in Australia, so if you think that you don’t like the album, maybe give it another shot. Rich, Mike and Danny certainly do their best to make it enjoyable for you. And, honestl…

Somehow it’s been 20 years since Green Day resurrected their floundering career and catapulted themselves to more success – and much more respect – than they had ever experienced before. Not only is American Idiot the best album they have recorded to date, but many (Rich and Danny included) consider it to be the best album of the 21st century’s fir…

This week the boys are joined by Mrs. Moxie and Rich’s “Rich & Ryan in the Morning” Show partner, Ryan Foley (aka Mr. Moxie), as they continue the weeklong one year anniversary celebration of Out in the Open with Mrs. Moxie.By Rich Larson and Daniel G. Moir

This week Rich and Danny wish a belated happy birthday to Hall of Fame producer Daniel Lanois. The name might not be familiar, but the people with whom he has worked (U2, Peter Gabriel, Bob Dylan, many others) will be. The guys go through some of the highlights of Lanois’ production career, and play a little bit of his own music as well.…

Jeff Lynne is bringing the farewell ELO tour to St. Paul on Monday night, and of course Mr. Daniel G. Moir has a ticket for that show. So to help him prepare, the boys celebrate the music of the Electric Light Orchestra. Danny is driving the bus on this one, which Rich is happy to let him do. It’s not that Rich dislikes ELO, because there is plenty…

This week Rich and Danny break down Bruce Springsteen’s first solo album, Nebraska. While this is a sober, almost dour album, the boys have a lot of fun (too much fun?) talking about this album. They certainly mean no disrespect. They both really love the album. But, they also hadn’t seen each other for a little while, and… you know how it is.…

The boys have been off the air for a while, so they are easing back into this whole thing with a show built around the music they heard while they were on hiatus. Sometimes these make for the best shows. This might be one of them. They're just happy to be back.By Rich Larson and Daniel G. Moir

Celebrating the impending end of another trip around the sun for the one and only – truly there is no one else like him – we get a show filled with songs he saw performed over the last 12 months. And, while you’re listening to the show, he’s sitting in Madison Square Garden watching Billy Joel play the final show of his MSG residency. Charmed life,…

Well, look who’s back! Laura Meyers and Kristi Pursell take one of their occasional turns as hosts of the show, to bring you their take on what freedom means in the United States of America on its 248th birthday.By Rich Larson and Daniel G. Moir

The boys return to a topic that was visited in one of the first ever editions of The Weekly List. This week Danny suggested a Road Trip show, and Rich agreed immediately, even though he had already done a Road Trip Show in August of 2019. Why? Because Rich and Danny have been on a dozen road trips together, and the stories from those trips are so g…

Rich’s annual birthday show finds him waxing nostalgic about the year he turned 17. All the good stuff, some of the bad stuff and a few things, like The Smiths, in between.By Rich Larson and Daniel G. Moir

After a one week hiatus due to technical difficulties (we apologize for making you wait), we bring you the second episode of our look at the classic Clash album, London Calling. Yes, you had to wait, but really, aren’t the Clash the Only Band That Matters? Tonight’s show is worth the wait. Also, Jeff Johnson is back.…

Rich and Danny take complete advantage of the fact that today is Topper Headon, the legendary drummer from the even more legendary band The Clash, to do a show they have always wanted to do. Jeff Johnson, soon-to-be Owner Emeritus of KYMN Radio joins the boys to break down one of the best albums of all time, London Calling (London Calling is a doub…

Commemorating a year since he passed away, Rich and Danny dig on the musical stylings of the great Canadian troubadour, Gordon Lightfoot. At least Rich does. Danny, as it turns out, isn’t a huge Gordon Lightfoot fan. I mean, he’ll tell you that he thinks Gordon Lightfoot is okay… but you can hear it in his voice. Danny just had a hard time getting …

Rich was excited to do this show, but nowhere near as excited as Danny was. The boys revel in that good old familiar 1980’s feel as they talk about one of the most influential bands of the era. And they play a lot of really good music.By Rich Larson and Daniel G. Moir

Celebrating Billy Joel’s 75th birthday, his two most prominent KYMN admirers, Daniel G. Moir and Rich Larson, roll out a show chock full of Billy Joel rarities, outtakes, and even a couple of tunes by The Hassles. (who?)By Rich Larson and Daniel G. Moir

This week, remembering Eric Carmen and Karl Wallinger, two great purveyors of Power Pop, Danny and Rich are joined again by their friend (Rich’s former boss, Danny’s current boss with the Minnesota Twins) Mike Stiles, as they dig into the simple yet sublime world of The Raspberries, Cheap Trick, World Party and so much more.…

Led Zeppelin is, by any definition, one of the most important bands in the history of rock & roll. The topic of Led Zeppelin is just too big to tackle in one or even two shows, so Rich & Danny have decided to tackle them album by album. A while back they broke down Led Zeppelin III, and for the second installment of this occasional series, marking …

This week, Rich and Danny mark the 56th anniversary of the assassination of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King with music related to the Civil Rights Movement, some vintage, some much more recent. One of the few editions of the Weekly List that we could call "important." This is some pretty powerful music. It's worth your time.…

Rich & Danny go through the annual, and possibly futile, exercise of selecting which of this year’s nominees to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame should get in. They make the case for a couple folks that will likely not get in, and talk about why they don’t think a few that are likely to get in shouldn’t.…

February 29th lands on a Thursday night, and Rich & Danny just can’t help themselves. They take the opportunity to switch roles this week – Rich plays the most obscure songs he can think of, while Danny plays a bunch of hit songs. Shockingly, both of them have a ton of fun doing this show. Maybe everyone even learned a little bit about themselves t…

Rich is fond of saying that nobody should have to apologize for the music they listen to. If you love a song, then you should never be embarrassed by that, even if the rest of the world likes to make fun of it. In celebration of Danny’s impending first Air Supply concert, the boys give up their secrets and share with you the songs they love that ar…

Annie Larson, Rich’s wife, returns to the show for another Valentines Day conversation. The two play songs that remind them of each other, while extolling the virtues of Orlando, Florida, Seattle, Washington, Latin music, Mesa, Arizona, and Northfield, Minnesota. Also they talk a little bit about their marriage.…

This week Danny is joined by great friend of the show Mrs. Moxie to talk about the nearly 25(!) year career of P!nk. She’s great. Their great. She swears. They swear. They even bring in special guests to swear some more and make the engineering of this show that much more difficult for poor old Rich.…

Danny answers Rich’s Steve Earle show with a show about Billy Bragg. The difference is, however, Danny let’s Rich sit in on this showBy Rich Larson and Daniel G. Moir

This week Danny steps aside to let Rich go solo in order to celebrate a guy to whom Rich says he owes quite a bit. Steve Earle is the reason Rich gave up the fight and gave in to his love of country music. And then he spends the next 90 minutes explaining why he doesn’t really think of Steve Earle as a country guy. Life is enigmatic that way. Just …
