One Hit Thunder

The Heights was a short-lived TV show about a diverse seven-piece band that aired on Fox in the early 90s. Each episode ended with a music video that kinda encapsulated the whole episode, and at the end of the pilot episode, a young actor named Jamie Walters sung a song so powerful that it would be the end of the road for, well, “End of the Road” from Boyz II Men’s epic 13 week run at #1 on the Hot 100. “How Do You Talk to an Angel” would then become the show’s theme song by the third episode, and this fictional band was topping the charts. Funny enough, the show is called The Heights, and the band lives in an undisclosed place called “The Heights”, but they never actually say that it’s the band’s name on the show. It’s unclear if the band even had a name. It didn’t matter. Despite the song’s massive success, the show was canceled after 13 episodes, and we’re left to wonder how many more hits the show could’ve spawned if Aaron Spelling hadn’t given up on it. This week, we’re joined by the married couple of Jim Logrando and Trisha Novy to decide if there were even MORE heights that could’ve been reached if this television band could’ve gotten that Season 2 renewal.

If you’re traveling back in time to the early 2000s to compete in the X Games, can I suggest an Icelandic rap-rock group to serve as the soundtrack for your halfpipe drop in? Yes, I’m speaking of Quarashi, a band that was one part Beastie Boys, one part Rage Against The Machine, and all EA Sports video game menu music. This week’s guest, comedian Dave Losso, wanted to discuss their closest thing to a hit: the upbeat “Stick ‘Em Up,” a song that will probably make you say, “oh yeah…I THINK I know this!” Should Quarashi have had more hits? Did they even HAVE a hit? What exactly is going on here? Tune in to find out!

In the Summer of 2001, Blu Cantrell looked poised to become the next household name in mainstream R&B. Her debut single “Hit ‘Em Up Style (Oops!)” was topping charts and earning her Grammy nominations, and industry titans such as L.A. Reid and Dallas Austin were singing her praises and putting their talents to work to further her career. When she released her sophomore album in 2003, she achieved some international success, but things seemed to stall out back in the States. Within a year or so, Blu’s music career seemed to have abruptly ended, fueling speculation of all sorts. Was her departure from the limelight just another age old story of bad timing and record label shenanigans, or was something MUCH more scandalous at play? This week, we explore Blu Cantrell’s life and career to try to find out if she was one of SOMEBODY’S 99 problems.
