THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #640 (“Auditing The Year”)

Mike seems to think November is a good time to take stock of all that 2025 has brought
…like lots of great new and classic tuneage for you to enjoy.
Unfortunately, that also sadly includes another tribute to a fallen artist.

THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #621 (“On Whose Authority?”)

And that’s evident this week, as much as with any other.

Mike Pollack — Tue, 13 May 2025 00:15:17 +0000

THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #615 (“The Grotesque Void Of Uncertainty”)

Mike says the only thing that’s certain in this world is that there will be great music on The Progressive Tracks Show this week.
Of course ‘great’ being a subjective term, you’d first have to believe Mike’s word in order to embrace his claim.
And, as this year has proven that blind obedience is rarely a good thing, you should probably just tune in and decide for yourself.

It’s an interesting look into what used to be… at least that’s the narrative Mike is pushing while he pushes his break into a second week.

PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #592 (“Current State”)

Mike Pollack — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 02:15:56 +0000

THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #592 (“Current State”)

Mike gets back to playing new music this week, not yet knowing the results of the U.S. elections.

While the music is great, the show’s ‘theme’ is confusing (or maybe more accurately stated: Confusion).

So basically, Mike is in his natural state.

Mike Pollack — Tue, 27 Aug 2024 00:15:17 +0000

THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #582 (“Channeling The Unicorn Spirit””)

You know that Mike’s artist interviews are as rare as, um… unicorns. So when he does one it’s for good reason.

This occasion is the release of a new album by a new group! [Fact Check: Actually it’s music written over a long period of time released by great musicians who’ve also been together a long time… just under a new name.].

Mike is exasperatingly rusty at interviewing, so you may get a chuckle or two at his expense over the course of two hours. Johnny is patient.

And as always… the music is exceptional!

PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #581 (“International sTRANGE Music Day – 2024”)

Mike Pollack — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 00:15:13 +0000

THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #581 (“International sTRANGE Music Day – 2024”)

The purpose of International sTRANGE Music Day on August 24^th is to get you to listen to sTRANGE (aka new or different) music without prejudice; and to rearrange your concept of ‘good’ music.

As ProgTracks is designed to do that on a regular basis, perhaps you’ll not notice anything unusual this week…but Mike hopes you will.

Last year at this time Mike unearthed his Best of 2013 and 2014 shows for the first time in years.
This year he figured he’d resurrect the Best of 2015 to keep you company while he curates his Best of 2023 show.

A challenge fulfilled, setting records, tour booking secrets, periodic motorcycles, career trajectory, lost heads, inclusion, political self-help messaging, drone horn intimidation, courting the industry, time travel, announcing the next C-A album title, a T-Rex imitation, fame, (The) Carpenters, cover tunes, hiding childhood trauma, water, more mash-up cover tunes, Tom Hanks, use/non-use of derogatory terms, current divisions, a political history lesson, and Prog Wrestling (it’s a thing!)…and it’s all here!

Don’t miss this show, as Cheer-Accident and I… ‘get it on’!

“asbestos MOUTH” – New album by TERMS

Cliff Pearson — Wed, 23 Sep 2020 23:00:33 +0000

Progzilla Radio is pleased to present the WORLD PREMIERE of a track off the upcoming debut “asbestos MOUTH” album by… TERMS!

Drummer Danny Piechocki
and guitarist/bassist Christopher Trull honed their craft in b
ands like Gr
and Ulena, Jitters,
and Yowie. In TERMS, Chris creates dissonant riffs
and skewed melodies, which collide with Danny’s syncopated thunderstorm of percussion, to create a balance of tight precision
and spontaneous discovery. It’s simply jaw-dropping!

As you may already expect, Mike Pollack

PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #354 (Progzilla Radio’s 5th Birthday)

Mike Pollack — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 05:55:57 +0000

That ‘other’ entity at which I present over in the United Kingdom is celebrating 5 years on the Internet. So all the Progzilla Radio DJ’s have created shows featuring the songs that hooked them on progressive rock, as well as some favorites from the past 5 years. Even though I broke the rules… just a bit, this is mine.

Why celebrate Progzilla Radio’s 5th Birthday on KPTZ?

You might also ask: Why is a raven like a writing desk? I haven’t the slightest idea!
