Leitmotif and Movement

Hosted ByMike & Michael Ficklin

A father and son listen to, review, and discuss music from the past and present. We will take a deep dive into our favorite records, talk our favorite artists, give our recommendations, and maybe someday do some interviews with the musicians that inspire us.

Episode 35 – Aerosmith “Aerosmith”

Welcome to the rock history class you actually want to take!

Join the father and son duo as we unpack the raw, electrifying debut of Aerosmith, their self-titled 1973 record. We’ll give you the band’s origin story and a detailed track-by-track breakdown of the album that launched America’s greatest rock and roll band.

Next, we dive into Michael’s Journey by dissecting the unforgettable 60s Motown classic, The Marvelettes’ “Please Mr. Postman!”

Plus, we shine a light on three fantastic bands that deserve more attention in our essential segment, The Art of Discovery.

And before we go, find out which surprise full album and song Michael has to study for the next episode!
