Bandmates get to know each other really well on the road. Last week Greg spent some time listening to jam bands, a favorite genre of Red Not’s drummer Pete. This week we’re gonna listen to some jam bands (and a song by Chick Corea featuring Roy Haynes). It’s Three For Thursday!

Songs:

Phish - “Down With Disease (from ‘Bittersweet Motel’)”

Grateful Dead - “China Cat Sunflower/I Know You Rider (5-3-72)”

Chick Corea - “Steps/What Was”

Nick found his way back to Pitchfork and discovered a throwback Sunday review of Pink Floyd’s 1975 Wish You Were Here. The album was the band’s follow up to Dark Side of the Moon and when Nick was a kid, he listened to it the way a kid listens to his favorite anything. Anyway, this is “Review the Review.”

Songs:

Pink Floyd - “Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Pts. 1-5”

Pink Floyd - “Wish You Were Here”

Jay found a recent published list, titled “50 Global Guitar Greats” and shares some newly discovered gems from the list. We have a rare “Three More For Thursday” for you this week.

Songs:

Derek Gripper - “Jarabi (Passion)”

Franco & le T.P OK Jazz - “Massu”

With Halloween behind us, Jay decided that it was time again for his nearly-annual Audio Advisor HiFi Gift Giving Guide Gameshow! Hear the description of the product and guess the price. The nearest price without going over is the winner. It’s yet another totally original YSCIO gameshow!

Nick brings us the 2025 Grammy nominees and a deep dive into how this list is made every year.

Greg catches us up on some news and throws in a new episode of “Tourrror Stories.” We find ourselves with The Resilient at a fly-in country club in Florida…

Song: Red Hot Chili Peppers - “Sikamikanico”

Get ready for it, it’s News with Nick. King Gizzard announces a 2025 orchestral world tour, Thom Yorke does not appreciate being heckled, MadLib sues former manager, and Young Thug is released from jail after pleading guilty and getting time served.

Greg joins us from vacation in Hawaii this week and he wants to take us on a little journey. We’ll be accompanied by the music of Squarepusher on our travels. Welcome back to “Three for Thursday.”

Songs:

Squarepusher - “Tensor in Green”

Squarepusher - “My Red Hot Car”

Squarepusher - “lambic 9 poetry”

Jay leads us into a celebration of Quincy Jones, who died last week at the age of 91. An accomplished musician, bandleader, record producer, songwriter, composer, arranger, and film and television producer, Jones won 28 Grammy Awards and many other accolades in his 70 year career. We could do entire shows about this guy and still miss important contributions that he made to music. He lived a long and productive life and we’re grateful for it.

Songs:

Quincy Jones - “Ai No Corrida”

Quincy Jones - “Soul Bossa Nova”

Frank Sinatra - “You Make Me Feel So Young”
