This week on NSTS we look at the life and death of one of rock’s most polarizing icons, singer Scott Weiland.
Weiland has always been an intriguing figure, with a voice like Bowie crossed with Lennon, a wild and chaotic stage persona, and a decidedly perplexing personality. This episode examines that personality in depth through Weiland’s own eyes, and also from the perspectives of those closest to him amidst the madness.

Alex Huard is the host of a great series called Release Day, a program that promotes new album releases by independent artists that don’t have the marketing reach of a major label.
Alex and I have been talking about collaborating on something new for a while now, and we finally landed on something that came together very organically as a result of him listening to No Sleep ’til Sudbury. This new project, called Thursday Night Record Club, is going to be a lot of fun. We discuss the details of TNRC this week, along with Alex’s skin vibrating songs. Check it out!
Huard’s playlist (on Spotify):
Tom Petty – Learning to Fly
Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash – Girl From The North Country
Olafur Arnalds – 3055
James Taylor – Fire & Rain
Classified – All About You

Brent is collaborating with Release Day Series host Alex Huard on an exciting new project called “Thursday Night Record Club”. An August release is expected. More details to follow shortly.
My old pal Zero from The Kings makes his return to the show this week to talk about what’s going with the band lately – new videos, new records, and a few pretty prestigious awards received for their classic single “This Beat Goes On/Switchin’ To Glide”.
Z wanted to do something a little different for his skin vibration segment, and he did. These are the songs he listens to in the wee hours when he’s not rocking out – opera!
Z’s playlist (in Spotify):
Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli – The Prayer
Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli – Time To Say Goodbye
Pavarotti, Carrerras, and Domingo – Nessun Dorma

This is an absolutely fascinating story.
A song appeared on the internet in 2007, with no information surrounding its name, the artist responsible for the song, or when and where it was recorded. To this day, despite the search for this information going viral, the mystery remains unsolved.
This week on NSTS we dig into this phenomenon, and consider the notion of something being unknowable in such an information-rich age.
