Join us for a conversation with Tanya Donelly, whose music career binds our youth (when we were cool) to our present (when we are so much cooler than we thought we could be). Tanya's been in Throwing Muses, The Breeders, and Belly to name a few bands, and she'll talk through the Boston music scene, the community of artists who've become family, and then highlight one particularly memorable night at The Rat.

Hosted by Tim Plaehn, 50 Years of Music w/ 50 Year Old White Guys offers a uniquely personal journey through the last half-century of popular sound. Instead of a dry historical lecture, each episode feels like pulling up a chair with three friends who have lived through every chart-topper and one-hit-wonder. They dig into a single year at a time, weaving together the music that defined it with their own memories and the broader cultural moments happening back in the day. You’ll hear passionate debates, unexpected nostalgia, and a lot of laughter as they argue their way toward crowning one definitive track for each year of their lives. This isn't about cold, critical analysis; it's about the visceral connection between life experience and the songs that scored it. The podcast builds a rich, year-by-year tapestry that is as much about growing up and societal change as it is about melodies and lyrics. For anyone who believes music is a time machine, this series provides a warm, funny, and deeply authentic guide.
