Podcast #95, “Flip the Record”
Here’s the deal: I had a playlist planned out. Two, as a matter of fact. Then I realized the time and effort it would take to get this done. So, what I did was record a non-stop mix until I ran out of...
View ArticlePodcast #96, “Hollow Weiner”
Apologies for the fact the website’s essentially gone to hell this past week. I tried to get things set up before I left for CMJ, and really managed to get that accomplished — not to the extent that I...
View ArticlePodcast #97, “Where’ve You Been?”
So, I took last week off because … well, tomorrow marks the start of the spring semester, and my job is about to become far more busy than it’s been in about a month and a half. Thus, I decided a week...
View ArticleKind of a podcast
Thanks to gum surgery earlier this week, its attendant expenditures, and the fact that the records I ordered have yet to show up, the planned-out setlist I’d made for the new podcast pretty much had to...
View ArticlePodcast #98, “Border Wars”
It’s been a while, blah blah blah. The podcast returns with some excellent music and a compelling interview with Brandon Phillips of Kansas City punk rock ‘n’ rollers the Architects. Phillips and his...
View ArticlePodcast #99, “Pop Scares”
Three weeks, and here we are with another podcast. I think this might be the start of something good. Here’s to hoping, right? Anyhow, a goodly amount of new / newly-acquired tunes, along with an...
View ArticlePodcast #100, “Centennial”
The centennial episode. Finally. Much as the fiftieth podcast featured music from the preceding episodes, as does this one. However, we’ve a full fifty tracks, for a whopping two hours of content. It’s...
View ArticlePodcast #101, “Words and Music”
I almost feel like I owe Charly ‘the city mouse’ Fasano an apology after re-listening to the interview we did for this episode of the podcast. I wasn’t on my “A” game, and I rambled a bit more than I...
View ArticlePodcast #103, “Rather Than Later”
Thanks to a rather hectic couple of weeks at work, one of which involved attending the CMJ Music Marathon in New York (I know, I know: “poor baby”), the podcast’s been delayed a couple of times. I’ve...
View ArticlePodcast #104, “The Wind Outside”
It’s been a couple weeks longer than I wanted to get this podcast done. I was hoping to avoid there being a month between podcasts, and we’ve only narrowly avoided that by a few days. However, I’d been...
View ArticlePodcast #105, “Short & Sweet”
The podcast returns after an extended holiday hiatus, with a short twelve songs, covering the gamut from blues-influenced garage rock swagger to metal to … weirdness. Yeah. It’s been a bit, so you’d...
View ArticlePodcast #106, “Melancholy Dance Party”
This episode of the podcast is just one big mix. It’s just as much due to my foggy, sore throat, as it is due to the fact that these songs just ended up flowing really well. It’s a little creepy, a...
View ArticlePodcast #107, “Rush to Judgment”
Recording this podcast, I was all kinds of excited about getting it done, doing a phone interview, and then heading out to enjoy some sunshine. The sunshine disappeared, some support screws sheared off...
View ArticlePodcast #108, “Voice of the Voiceless”
Many apologies for the fact that you can barely understand what I’m saying in this week’s episode. I’m sick as a dog and my voice is pretty much gone, which stands in brilliant contrast to the totally...
View ArticlePodcast #109, “Sick & Tired”
This episode of the podcast reveals the mystery of why I sounded so horrid last time, and not-so-coincidentally features me saying awful things about Jenny McCarthy. On a positive note, the plans for a...
View ArticlePodcast #110, “April Fools Rush In”
Tomorrow is April Fools’ Day, so I spent the weekend putting together a plethora of strange and interesting music for you all. For whatever reason — be it feeling better or just the obscure nature of...
View ArticlePodcast #111, “Epic”
Not even kidding — I spent about two hours digging our records, recording tracks, and getting everything ready for this podcast. Then I came up with this idea and thought it was so fucking cool, I had...
View ArticlePodcast #112, “Rescued”
It was a panicked podcast host earlier yesterday morning, upon the realization that his turntable stylus was going out, and there was no way he’d be able to dig into any of the new vinyl he picked up...
View ArticlePodcast #113, “Get Fuzzy”
The annual “whoops, I forgot to replace the turntable stylus when it was sounding weird and now it’s busted” podcast. It’s a very specific episode where I have to dig through the hard drive and see...
