This week, TC and Craigo crack open another musical vault, and inside, they find a true rock classic—Billy Joel’s Glass Houses. Released in 1980, this album saw Joel step away from his signature piano-driven sound to embrace a harder, edgier rock style. Fueled by raw energy and a rebellious spirit, Glass Houses delivered some of his biggest hits, including You May Be Right, It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me, and Don’t Ask Me Why.

From its opening sound of breaking glass to its infectious hooks and lyrical wit, Glass Houses was Joel’s way of proving he could do more than just ballads—he could rock with the best of them. The album was a massive success, topping the charts and earning him a Grammy for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. But beyond the hits, there are deep cuts that showcase his versatility and sharp storytelling.

Join TC and Craigo as they spin the record, break down the songs, and explore the impact Glass Houses had on Billy Joel’s career and rock music as a whole. Was it a bold reinvention or just a natural evolution? Tune in to TC’s Time Capsule and find out as they relive this moment in music history!

In this milestone edition, the lads open up a time capsule that’s jam-packed with some of the finest Aussie rock ever laid down—this time shining the spotlight on the legendary Diesel.

TC and Craigo take you on a journey through his greatest hits, deep cuts, and the stories behind the songs that made him a household name.

TC and Craigo are digging deep into the musical vault this week as they crack open a 40-year-old time capsule to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Scarecrow by John Cougar Mellencamp — the landmark album that defined heartland rock and cemented Mellencamp’s place as one of the most important voices of the 1980s.

Released in 1985, Scarecrow wasn’t just a commercial smash — it was a raw and honest reflection of working-class America. With its gritty realism, heartfelt lyrics, and unforgettable hooks, the album resonated with millions around the globe. TC and Craigo explore the powerful stories behind the songs, from the nostalgic pull of “Small Town” to the anthemic energy of “R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.” and the haunting beauty of “Rain on the Scarecrow.”

They’ll look at the cultural backdrop that shaped the record — from the economic struggles of rural America to the rise of MTV and the shift in rock music — and how Mellencamp used his platform to shine a light on everyday people and their quiet resilience. Along the way, expect plenty of personal reflections, rare trivia, and of course, some cracking tunes to take you right back to the mid-80s.

Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering Scarecrow for the first time, this episode of TC’s Time Capsule is a full-bodied celebration of an album that still speaks volumes, four decades on.
