Wayback Machine: They Shoulda Been Bigger!
To get yourself primed for Keith Jacobsen's appearance, take a short spin back to episode 631, when Keith came on to talk about bands that should have been bigger in the U.S. It's a stone cold jam.

Extra! Extra! Get Your Friday New Releases! Smokin' Hot Platters of Fresh Wax!!
Speed down to your local record mart and crack open that wallet full o' cash.
Beck - Hyperspace (Capitol)
Beck’s 14th (!) studio album is mix between his two artistic sides: Mellow Beck meets Funky Beck. The subject matter here concerns the breakup of his marriage, but the music, in collaboration with Pharrell Williams, emphasizes the beats.
Leonard Cohen - Thanks for the Dance (Legacy)
The acclaimed singer-songwriter died in 2016. For this release, his son, Adam, collected some of Cohen’s unfinished works and enlisted help from Beck (!), Feist and the National’s Bryce Dessner to complete the project, which serves as a solemn tribute to one of popular music’s most powerful voices.
Grateful Dead - Ready or Not (self-released)
This is a live album of what was meant to be a studio album. Make sense? No. Here’s how it works: The band had been working on a new album for about three years before Jerry Garcia died in 1995. But as was Dead practice, they were already playing the new songs at shows. This album compiles nine live versions of those songs, so you can finally hear what might have been.
Various - Hanukkah+ (Verve Forecast/UMG)
The number of Christmas album released each year is bountiful. But rarely do we get a compilation that highlights the Jewish holiday. Hear such artists as Yo La Tengo, Haim, the Flaming Lips, Loudon Wainwright III and Jack Black perform Hanukkah favorites, new and old.
