    Sad Songs Happy Hour, That Bar Is in Hell, Mental Health, and Disabled Joy - Dive Bar Music Club
    May 5 2026
    Amanda Miles and Chad Cochran bring sonically disparate, but thematically similar, music to Dive Bar Music Club. We end up with some deep conversation about taking care of our mental health and how that impacts the music community. The playlist moves through love, loss, and nostalgia. Amanda shares her latest Jason Isbell obsession, Chad leans into indie rock and some 90s throwbacks, and together we talk about how music becomes a lifeline during tough times. Amanda shares a bit about her progressive blindness, how it impacts her when going to see bands and venues lack accessibility, and teases an upcoming feature regarding her diagnosis in Bodies of Opinion.Catch Our Tastemaker PlaylistsApple Music Tidal Bands and Musicians Featured in Episode 8Willow Avalon w/ Jason IsbellElla LangleyThe Afghan WhigsLuke Combs w/ Alison KraussPaul McCartneyArcwelderMental Health Resources If you need immediate support, call or text 988 in the USA for connection to a trained volunteer who can help.NAMINuci's SpaceYour state occupational health or vocational rehabilitation officeMusic Health AllianceMusiCaresSims FoundationHAAM (Health Alliance for Austin Musicians)The RegularsChad CochranAmanda MilesSloane SpencerMusicians, Venues, Events, and Themes Referenced in This EpisodeAlan JacksonAppalachian State UniversityAthensAtlantaBodies of OpinionBrian Lee BrownBirminghamBowling GreenChicagoCoca-Cola AmphitheaterDave GrohlDavid ByrneFaith HillGarth BrooksJack WhiteJim WhiteLaughing HyenasLive NationLinda RonstadtLuaka BopMadison Square GardenMartina McBrideMinneapolisMiranda LambertNational Independent Venue Association (NIVA)Nelsonville Music FestivalNew Disabled SouthOhioOkemahPatrick KeelerRaconteursRed Rocks AmphitheatreReba McEntireRingo StarrRyman AuditoriumSteve AlbiniTabernacleTedeschi Trucks BandThem Crooked VulturesTouch and Go RecordsTopher BrownTyler ChildersVince GillWhite StripesWoody Guthrie Folk FestivalWynonna JuddRecommended If You Likedive bar music club, music podcast, 90s alt rock, emerging songwriters, Jason Isbell, Luke Combs, Alison Krauss, Ella Langley, mental health and music, concert photography, music festivals, country music scene, music recommendations, indie music, music accessibility, songwriter interviews, music playlists, music discussions, Americana music, music industry insights, Dive Bar Music Club podcast, music podcast 2026, indie music discussion, 90s alt rock nostalgia, indie rock playlist, Americana music podcast, country music deep dive, Jason Isbell fans, Willow Avalon Cardinal Sin, Luke Combs Alison Krauss duet, Ella Langley cover songs, Toby Keith cover reinterpretation, music and mental health, music as therapy, emotional connection to music, nostalgic music themes, love and loss songs, sad music playlist, songwriting and storytelling, emerging artists 2025, indie folk and synth folk, Icelandic folk music, live music culture, concert photography, music festivals 2026, backstage photography, touring musicians life, TikTok music discovery, viral music trends, album recommendations podcast, Paul McCartney new music, Afghan Whigs comeback, Arc Welder band, college rock revival, 90s music revival, alternative rock discussion, music community podcast, disabled joy and music, accessibility in live music venues, mental health in music industry, musicians mental health advocacy, music and identity, podcast music recommendations, discovering new artists, genre-blending playlists, music nerd culture

  • Record Store Day, Public Radio, and Music Loose Associations - Dive Bar Music Club

    Record Store Day, Public Radio, and Music Loose Associations - Dive Bar Music Club
    Apr 20 2026
    We’re big fans of public radio and festivals for music discovery. Charles Hale and Nelson Gullett had a small world radio-meets-real-life Big Ears connection. Public radio keeps new music alive and thriving, even as the federal government slashed budgets and extremist subcultures try to wield power over art.Driver 8 Records gears up for Record Store Day and launches a vinyl record club. Sloane Spencer continues to float her musical loose associations, this time sharing, "If Randy Newman, Leon Russell, and Levon Helm hung out listening to the Beatles, this might be the song they wrote." So pour yourself something nice, slide into the booth, and get ready for a mix of good stories and the kind of musical rabbit holes you’ll be glad you fell into.Catch Our Tastemaker PlaylistsApple MusicTidalBands Featured in Episode 7FleaJesse Ed DavisKathleen EdwardsKruangbinLeon BridgesThe MontvalesNeko CaseSilver SkylarksYagodySupport Your Local Public Radio StationWDVX KRFCRecord Store Day & Driver 8 Records' Record ClubDriver 8 RecordsThe RegularsNelson GullettCharles HaleSloane SpencerMusicians, Festivals, Venues, and Events Mentioned in this EpisodeAlbert KingAmelia DayAnna ButtersAngine de PoitrineArlo GuthrieBarley's KnoxvilleBlack PumasBlind Boys of AlabamaBloodshot BillBob DylanBrennan WedlBugs BunnyButch HancockCarolina Chocolate DropsCharles MingusCharlie SniderChris StapletonChris ThileChristopher Paul StellingColin CrippsDriver 8 RecordsDr. JohnDuane AllmanGrant AldenGrateful DeadGwenifer RaymondHaley HeynderickxInternational AnthemJason IsbellJeff ParkerJimmy Dale GilmoreJohn LennonKaoru WatanabeKasey MusgravesKatie CrutchfieldKen PomeroyLeon RussellLevon HelmLucinda WilliamsMarket Square, Knoxville, TNMichael StipeMJ LendermanNick CaveNo DepressionNonesuch RecordsPeter BuckR.E.M.Randy NewmanRed Hot Chili PeppersRichard ThompsonSmoking Dave and the Primo DopesSturgill SimpsonTaj MahalThe BeatlesThe SteelDriversTodd SniderTom PettyThom YorkeTortoiseBig Ears FestivalThirty TigersTyler ChildersWaxahatcheeWDVXWREKKRFCWu FeiRecommended If You Likedive bar music club podcast, music discovery podcast, public radio music, indie music podcast, alternative rock discussion, 90s alt rock fans, eclectic music playlist, underground music scene, college radio influence, music nerd community, songwriter interviews podcast, record store culture, vinyl collecting community, record store day events, independent record stores, emerging artists spotlight, live music festivals USA, Big Ears Festival Knoxville, Americana music scene, folk and bluegrass artists, experimental music performances, Ukrainian folk band modern, jazz fusion discussion, Flea trumpet album, avant garde jazz artists, Kathleen Edwards music, Americana singer songwriter, Waxahatchee influence, indie folk duos, music recommendations podcast, album deep dives, music storytelling songs, public radio funding importance, listener supported radio, music community building, local music scenes USA, Texas indie soul music, Khruangbin style vibes, Leon Bridges collaboration, new music discovery 2026, public radio music discovery, Dive Bar Music Club, 90s alt rock, Knoxville music festival, Big Ears Festival, emerging touring songwriters, eclectic music, music playlists, public radio funding, local music scene, music obsession, record store culture, independent radio stations, music community, music recommendations, exploration of new music, artist interviews, vinyl records, music nerds, music events
