Through the Garage Door - Season 6

Don't you ever just want to get out of yourself and be someone else for a while? We all need to don a facade now and then. Halloween, Mardi Gras, a costume ball, the occasional bank robbery? Join the masquerade with Black Sabbath, Genesis, Yes, Talking Heads, Five for Fighting, Elvis Presley, Foo Fighters, Jackson Browne and The Platters!

Remember that black & white poster from the 70s of the wide-eyed Siamese cat in a chin-up pose on a bamboo pole? Hang In There, Baby! with Camel, Cake, Lake Street Dive, Survivor, Imagine Dragons, Bread and Kenny Loggins.

Wave your white flag and we promise we won't play any Black Flag. Don't give UP! Give IN to the musical charms of Tom Waits, Electric Light Orchestra, Lenka, The Clash, Egyptian, The Killers, Emerson, Lake & Palmer and The Beatles!

Time to make the doughnuts! Quit your goldbricking and dilly-dallying. And frittering. Unless its your job to make the fritters.

I hope this TSA line never ends!

Try to find some space for this music! Space (between our ears). The final frontier. The music of the spheres provided by Rush, ELO, Kate Bush, Elton John, Kraftwerk, Muse, Klaatu and Jethro Tull.

Pulling off the covers. Will we like what we see? We make the side-by-side comparisons in this show in order to force the imitator to stand up to the original. Will it be a flattering picture? Hear Van Halen cover The Kinks, Madeleine Peyroux cover Tom Waits, The Stone Temple Pilots cover The Doors and Yes cover The Beatles.

This new rock 'n' roll thing is starting to get ugly! The amps are getting bigger and louder, and the music more aggressive. Hear Dick Dale, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Steppenwolf, Led Zeppelin, Donovan, Cream, Iron Butterfly, Blue Cheer and Cactus.

Can you say 'pretentious'? This is what comes from recording at Abbey Road, down the hall from the London Symphony session. Let's get classy with the likes of Kamelot, Paul Simon, Jethro Tull, ELO, ELP, and Chicago.

Can YOU drive 55? We can't! There's a reason they didn't bother to invent cars in Mozart's time. His music is LOUSY to drive to! We're heading out to the highway with Sammy Hagar (amazingly NOT playing 'I Can't Drive 55'), Stevie Ray Vaughan, Queen, Mark Knopfler, Bob Seger, The Beatles and CCR.

Oh, those zany knuckleheads of Garage Door! You'll split your sides laughing until you cry at their madcap tomfoolery!

This won't end well!

There's no business like shoe business!

You make me want to scream!

Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream.

Don't worry your pretty little head over this one!

Songs that fall somewhere between 90 and 180 degrees. And we don't mean they're hot.

Honey voiced siren song.

Voice Not Welcome!

A bunch of old geezers who sold their soul for rock 'n' roll!

Moving on to bigger things, or a failure in the music business?

This is not a safe place for radio-friendly music!

Short songs got no reason to live!

Have you never been mellow, yellow?

Come on, Honeydew Lassie! Don't be so melon collie!

Not to be confused with cholera, nevertheless there IS an epidemic of anger in society.

Why are cheerful, happy songs always so short?
