When I was a kid, my clock radio was everything: A time-travel machine and a lifeline. But when I took it apart, I killed it. Here are some stories I'll be chasing—hopefully not to death!—in 2026.
You mentioned The Bee Gee’s, maybe you know they wrote 'Night Fever' in a cab to the beat of the sections of The Brooklyn Bridge passing under the cab's wheels as it moved? Does this fall under that category you’re going to explore? If not, it’s definitely a close relative to music inspired by non-music sounds.
"Feel like all the stories about “lost albums” have already been told?"
Not me. I'm looking forward to seeing what you've got cooked up for us!
Appreciate the hell out of that, Kevin! And...right back atcha!

Pretty sure that was “Jive Talkin’,” and the bridge was in Miami… but yeah, I’d be down to read whatever Seth has to say about it!
Aw, thank you friend! Appreciate that a great deal, and: Ditto!
I got the concept! Hahaha!
Oh yeah - and I think there’s also a pretty cool story about the “Night Fever” rhythm track, though it has more to do with studio trickery/ingenuity…
Wait. This whole time I thought it was about an actual case of night fever, and the desperate search for a cure….
I had no idea! Also, clearly: I do not comprehend the Bee Gees....
