Dateline December 30 2023. The spinoff is now the main event. Welcome to Where's That Sound Coming From Presents: Questions But No Answers! Yes, WTSCF has become what might be the only podcast centered on the musical career of a person whom I consider to be one of the most creative, if underrated and misunderstood, musical minds of the mid-late 20th Century: the late, great Michael Nesmith.

The four Monkees, plus Chip Douglas, jangleburst their way through the…

Send us a Text Message. High School Movie Month begins with a good old fashioned slasher movie, Prom Night from 1980. Eric and Neil have a great time talking about this movie and how much they surprisingly enjoyed it. We also talk about how scary Little House on the Prairie could be. Put on your best Disco dancing clothes and bedazzled ski-mask and…

Where is Mary going to? Is she safe from the persistent creepo who won't leave her alone? Is this the same Mary as in "Walkin' the Dog"? Was Michael Blessing much more of a manufactured image than Monkee Mike? Is Bloomfield's guitar solo the best part of the Butterfield version? Why isn't Micky ready?
