"You still got it!" is a popular, albeit patronizing chant directed at older pro wrestlers who can still put on a good performance. Well, this show is turning eight years old, an elderly age in podcasting years, so maybe it's time to get that chant going. On this episode, Andrew reunites with show co-founder Chris Maffei for an anniversary show dedicated to older musicians who still put out quality work well into their careers and are worthy of a "you still got it" chant. Artists played include James Brown, AC/DC, Lenny Kravitz, Madonna, Loretta Lynn, Ozzy Osbourne, Blondie, Deep Purple, Santana, and many more. Thank you to everybody for listening to and supporting the podcast for the past eight years!Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent PartnerTwitter: @MusicoftheMatBluesky: @MusicoftheMat / @justandrew / @cmstrikeaudioChris's website: cmstrikeaudio.comAll VOW podcasts, articles, previews, and reviews: VoicesofWrestling.comJoin the VOW Discord to discuss Music of the Mat and ot

It's time to make some history on Music of the Mat Remix. This is not only the first artist-centric episode of the new format, but also the first one with a pun title. It's a Beatles episode that came about by mashing arguably the greatest band of all time's nickname with The Four Horsemen, arguably the greatest wrestling stable of all time. Yes, it's that simple, but this episode is anything but! Andrew is joined by returning guest and Beatles superfan JoJo Remy to play a selection of songs spanning the group's relatively short, yet impactful run. From early love songs to experimental studio work to the last song the band ever recorded, this episode has legendary music and lively conversation. Cut your hair into a mop top and throw up the four fingers, because we're showing some love to the lads from Liverpool!Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent PartnerTwitter: @MusicoftheMatBluesky: @MusicoftheMat / @justandrew / @jojorunsAll VOW podcasts, articles, previews, and reviews: Voi
