Random Old Records Podcast #45

It's been about six months since I last did a podcast, and over a year since I did these with any regularity, but a funny thing happened several weeks ago. I had figured returning to podcasting would be damn near impossible at this point. I hadn't done them monthly in forever, so where the hell was I gonna start?! I think I've bought and listened to something like three hundred records in the past year, and all of them are worthy of your attention in some way. So, I sat down and made a list, and by the time I was done I had filled both sides of a piece of paper and started writing more names in between the cracks. The simple theme of Random Old Records #45 is "things that blew my freakin' mind since the last one."

To be more specific, this episode features music that is slightly bent, cracked, or mutilated, with nothing much resembling standard pop, rock, or punk music. You'll hear freaky prog-folk from original Vertigo label acts Cressida and Tudor Lodge, blown-out punk noise by Flipper, Running, Obnox, and Sector Zero, and plain ol' weirdness by E.T. Habit, MX-80 Sound, and Captain Beefheart. Hope you all enjoy!

Random Old Records Podcast #44

I've been sorta hibernating for the winter, so this is as good of time as any to put together a new podcast. Random Old Records #44 is the first one I've done since September 2012, and it's an uninterrupted hour of whimsical psychedelic pop from the 60s to the present. This is nineteen tracks from one man band weirdos, forgotten heroes, new wizards, and everything in between. There's two Creation covers, obscure compilation tracks, and at least two legit chart hits. I hope everyone likes this as much as I did when I was putting it together. Thanks for listening!
