Every Tuesday and Thursday, former Warner Bros. Records executive and industry insider Stan Cornyn ruminates on the past, present, and future of the music business. 1959 The full soundtrack album for “77 Sunset Strip” became WBR’s first LP best-seller, the label’s only album to chart in all of 1959. It made it up to #3 on the charts. However, listeners to this LP heard no TV stars. Those series’ stars were present only on the album’s cover. The audio inside: big band swing put together under Warren Barker’s studio orchestra, arrangements by Don Ralke (especially the title song/single) with son

If you’ve taken a gander at your calendar, then you’ve probably noticed that Saturday marks the first official day of summer. This is one of those dates that rarely rates more than a half-hearted “oh, that’s interesting” from anyone who’s still in school or has school-age kids – when school lets out, that’s when summer begins, no matter what the calendar says – but it still seems like a decent enough excuse for us to put together a playlist featuring some of our favorite “summer” songs. There’s something about the summertime that always seems to bring out the best hooks from pop songwriters, w

When we offered up our Mother’s Day mix last month, we described the holiday as “an annual opportunity for greeting card manufacturers and affiliated businesses to convince you that you should love your mother a little bit more on this particular Sunday than you do every other day of the year, and if you don’t…well, obviously, you’re a terrible, terrible child.” But Father’s Day? Now that’s a real holiday! Nah, we’re just kidding. We just wanted to see the moms freak out…and it was totally worth it. Now that we’ve given them an aneurysm, though, let’s get to that Father’s Day mix, shall we? We

Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching, which naturally means that we’ve got a playlist ready for your listening pleasure, but our original intention – to wrangle a collection of songs that were barbeque-themed, since so many people are prone to having cookouts this time of year – kind of fell apart after Martini Ranch’s “Hot Dog” and ZZ Top’s “Burger Man.” As such, we decided to focus on weekend songs instead, although we did throw in a track from Jane’s Addiction as a nod to how long the weekend’s gonna last, just in case you needed reminding. Stay safe, have fun, and enjoy the music!

May 11 is Mother’s Day, an annual opportunity for greeting card manufacturers and affiliated businesses to convince you that you should love your mother a little bit more on this particular Sunday than you do every other day of the year, and if you don’t…well, obviously, you’re a terrible, terrible child. Now, don’t freak out, but…we’ve put together a Mother’s Day mix for you. We know, this is thoroughly unprecedented, maybe even a little shocking, and we’d understand if you were so completely thrown by this news that you’ve actually had to sit down and get your bearings. While you get it toge

21 fresh tracks from the likes of Hank Williams, T Bone Burnett, Josh Rouse, Gillian Welch, Eleni Mandell, and more.

Today is May 5, a day which, for some people, also doubles as the only phrase they know in Spanish besides “una cerveza, por favor.” Yes, that’s right, we’re talking about Cinco de Mayo, and you know us: we can’t resist putting together a soundtrack for whatever level of celebration you plan to indulge in this evening. Unfortunately, there aren’t nearly as many songs featuring the number “five” in their title as you might think, but there are more than a few that feature the word “may.” Granted, not all of them are actually using it in terms of the month, but between the quality of the music a
