Tonight’s edition of the Meltdown wound up being a themed edition. Originally, I was going to have Megan and Rebekah on to discuss the Lee Brice/Justin Moore concert we were going to attend on March 4. Unfortunately, Justin Moore was hit with an illness, and the show has been rescheduled. So, we will go to the concert on April 19. They will appear on the show on April 23.

For tonight’s musical entertainment, as my birthday is today and Megan’s is coming up on Thursday, I featured our years of birth. We played songs that were released and/or charted in 1978 and 1980. Enjoy this trip down memory lane!

This week’s edition of the Meltdown started out a little rocky. We had a late start and a couple technical hiccups. Once we got past that, it was a fun show. Lots of new music, a cover comparison, and a bit of audience interaction. Over all, a fun show. Enjoy!

Tonight, Wes’s Musical Meltdown returned to the regular timeslot on XTFM, 7:00 PM East on Sunday evenings. With Valentine’s Day coming up, we did a mostly love songs edition. Included in the mix were popular favorites, some break-up songs, some…songs about the wild side of love…And much more.

I also discussed the Grammys as well as gave a review of the movie A Dog’s Purpose.

Always feel free to click the chat link at the XTFM website and join us during the shows, and don’t forget about all of our other great programming!

Today’s show was supposed to be a test broadcast in advance of the return to the regular Sunday night spot at 7:00 PM East on XTFM, but wound up being a two-hour show. There was a technical hiccup which caused us to drop for a bit and have to come back, but in that, I believe we’ve found the issue. It looks to be a bad ethernet port or cable…So, doing this via WiFi. And…Hey…It worked.

Today’s show was a good mix of rock, country, and even a bit of pop. We had new music from Little Big Town, Zac Brown Band, Brett Young, Thomas Rhett, and more.

Join me at 7:00 PM East on Sunday night as we return to the regular Meltdown time slot. This Sunday will be the pre-Valentine’s Day edition, featuring mostly love songs of many varieties.

Last night, Wes’s Musical Meltdown returned to XTFM after an unplanned hiatus due to internet issues, job ttraining, and illness. It felt good to be back. Some drops occurred, but in spite of those, I’m quite proud of this show. We had the Cover Comparison, a tribute to Seattle rock in honor of the Seahawks playing the Patriots, and lots of new music.

Though this isn’t an official show, merely a test broadcast, I’m pretty proud of the playlist. And, since I’m leaving for a week or so for job training, we may not get another shot. So, have a new podcast of the Meltdown.

This week’s show on XTFM was a blast. Lots of new music from Jason Aldean, Aaron Lewis, and others. We featured the new track “Forever Country”, featuring a who’s-who of country artists from yesterday and today. We also had a tribute to the 25Th anniversary of the Use Your Illusion I and II releases from Guns N’ Roses.

Next week, barring any tragedies in the music world, it’ll be a normal show. A bit of everything, and hopefully, Lots of your requests!

As a warning, the pre-show disclaimer is definitely appropriate for parts of this one. A few NSFW moments.

Last night, we returned to the regular madness of Wes’s Musical Meltdown on XTFM. Requests, chat, and all of that good stuff. Cover Comparison will evventually return.

In addition to our normal variety, we had a tribute set for late 3 Doors Down guitarist Matt Roberts, as well as new music from Reckless Kelly and Aaron Lewis. We also played some tunes from Ohio’s own Hells Fire Sinners, who I’ll be seeing live on September 16 at The Dark Horse Tavern in Reynoldsburg, just outside Columbus. Come join the fun if you’re in the area.

This week’s edition of Wes’s Musical Meltdown was all about the late, great Merle Haggard. Join me on a 3-hour musical journey through the life and career of this country music legend. We talk about his life, his music, and his influence on country music as we know it.

There’s a minor technical hiccup about midway through the show, but over all, I’m very proud of this one. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed bringing it to you.

Of course, you can always hear the show live every Sunday night at 7:00 PM Eastern Time on XTFM.
