  1. Episode 419 - Hannah Stokes discusses Judee Sill's debut record

    Episode 419

    Show notes

    Hannah Stokes joins us to discuss the self-titled debut from Judee Sill. Plenty of other discussion including the Blue Jay Listening Room in Jacksonville, Will's Pub, playing chords that even Patrick Hagerman can't figure out, playing harmonica while in a crowd, taking the baton in Central Florida, David Geffen, the Hollies, the Turtles, and because we're talking about Judee...of course there's discussion about religious imagery in songs. ENJOY!

  2. Episode 418 - Ramones self-titled debut with Patreon Revisitor Kevin Hartbarger

    Episode 418

    Show notes

    We have another Patreon Revisitor episode! This time with Kevin Hartbarger where we discuss the legendary and iconic Ramones debut. Plenty of discussion including stupid sound effects, what's in the basement, deducting points for doing a cover, and...should we actually talk about the lyrics (or lack thereof)?

    Full disclosure - my mic apparently didn't get synced up with our recording studio so the audio quality isn't too my normal standards. My apologies for that. But, hopefully it doesn't distract from the fun conversation we have about this killer record!

  4. Episode 416: Led Zeppelin III with Ian Russell of Orange Doors

    Episode 416

    Show notes

    Ian Russell of Orange Doors joins us to talk about the killer third record from Led Zeppelin simply titled "III." Plenty of other discussion including the Charleston music scene, marching band, psychedelic music, the heavy hitters who dominated the 1970 album chart (and how Zeppelin had TWO different number one albums that year), how we pronounce Bron-Y-Aur (and probably still got it wrong) and songwriting credits for John Bonham.

  5. Episode 415 - Interview with Peter Zaremba of The Fleshtones

    Episode 415

    Show notes

    We got to hang with frontman Peter Zaremba of The Fleshtones. We discuss the 50th anniversary of the band, The Wheel of Talent, CBGB and Max's, France and Spain, being on IRS Records and why their earlier stuff isn't available on the streamings, "The Cutting Edge" television show on MTV, discovering Jimi, and the "Bachelor Party" movie.

    We just hit record and started chatting so there's no formal "intro." If you think I need to record one, please share some thoughts. I kind of figured that no intro was in line with the Fleshtones no nonsense punk kind of vibe.

    Lots of music in this one including the following Fleshtones songs (and others where notated).

    You Gotta Love, Love (intro)

    Hitsburg

    Alex Trebek

    Love My Lover

    Float Your Showboat

    Box Tops – Cry Like a Baby

    Tommy Roe – Sheila

    The Honeycombs - Love in Tokyo

    Le Cereau (Peter solo song)

    American Beat

    Roman Gods (outro)

  6. Episodes Revisited - From The Archives - Matt Nathanson discusses "Achtung Baby" from U2

    Episode 414

    Show notes

    I've heard that some of our older episodes aren't showing up on some podcast platforms.

    Let me remedy that by rereleasing some of those archived episodes. Let's call it "Records Revisited - Episodes Revisited."

    The guys are joined by U2 superfan Matt Nathanson to discuss U2’s “Achtung Baby.” Plenty of other discussion about the beauty of “One,” what is “super crotch,” playing music in Provo at Mama’s Café and the JSB, Hansa Studios in Berlin, the power of friendship and band longevity, Depeche Mode, “tart” vs “guitar,” mean lyrics, and just how good this album is. We love this album but Matt LOVES this album.

    Fair warning…this episode is like seeing Matt live in concert. So good but so NSFW.

  7. Episode 413 - Maddie Medley discusses Fiona Apple "The Idler Wheel"

    Episode 413

    Show notes

    Maddie Medley joins us to discuss her new album "Fawn's Enemy" and then we discuss the grammy nominated "The Idler Wheel..." Yeah, I'm not going to type out the actual whole album title. Plenty of other discussion including building a world of fawns and skunks, leaving a major label and going independent, seeing Fiona Apple at the Ryman, name dropping at Largo, voice cracking, M83, and lots more.

  8. Episode 412 - Steve Poltz discusses Rickie Lee Jones' "Pirates"

    Episode 412

    Show notes

    This one is an instant classic! Steve Poltz was the last guy from the "Frasier Fair" tour that I had yet to have on the podcast (the mini tour of Steve, John Doe, Glen Phillips and Pete Droge) and Steve does NOT disappoint. What a blast. We talk about John Doe, encyclopedia salesmen (and the inspiration behind his "Son of God" song), testing the concept of sequencing albums, Steely Dan and other personnel Rickie enlisted for this album, Broadway, and much more. CHECK THIS OUT!

Plenty of Pretenders related conversation including Andre & The Amplifiers (anyone know that band), reliving the importance of our first Pretenders episode with Doug Gillard, Cher, putting nothing in storage, covering an obscure Ray Davies/Kinks song, whip noises, the EP that precedes II, "Cuban Slide" and, wait, "Louie Louie" isn't a cover?!?

  10. Episode 410 - Thomas Csorba discusses Don Williams' "Country Boy"

    Episode 410

    Show notes

    Don Williams was one of the biggest country stars of the 80s. Yet, we don't talk enough about Don. Glad that Thomas Csorba picked the 1977 record "Country Boy" from Don though, if you ask Wayne, Thomas should have picked "I Believe In You" from 1980.

    Plenty of other discussion including the Opry, Mickey Gilley, Eddie Rabbitt, "to G or not to add a G," the legacy of Don with Louisiana Football (on a Saturday Night), and much more. If you like old school country, this is your episode!

    Episode 408

    Show notes

    I had a chance to interview Don Barnes, the longtime singer and guitarist for 38 Special. Besides chatting about several topics, we focused a lot of the episode on the making and inspirations behind the album "Wild Eyed Southern Boys."

    Plenty of other discussion about how the band decided who sang on which songs, why Donnie is retired from touring, working with Jim Peterik of Survivor, the inspiration behind "Back Alley Sally," getting hits on the rock stations, the band's latest album "Milestone," how Don's solo album finally saw the light of day, and Don confirms that the band does indeed play live "Second Chance."

Plenty of other discussion including wearing shirts of your own band, post Beatles albums, Ringo, Bambi Kino, the other music of 1979, the Chipmunks, David Naughton, and why Bruce Gary should be talked about WAY more.

  14. Episode 406 - Blondie's "Parallel Lines" with Scotty Kummer of IGTOV

    Episode 406

    Show notes

    Patreon Revisitor Scotty Kummer of the I’ve Got That On Vinyl Podcast & The Ten Junk Miles Podcast joins us to discuss "Parallel Lines" from Blondie. We have a longstanding argument about "Parallel Lines." I've said it's a good album...but not essential.

    I might have changed my stance had Wayne not been such a poo poo head about it. And, I really wanted to double down.

    Just don't tell Wayne that I think it's an essential record now, OK? Thanks.

  15. Episode 405 - Death Cab for Cutie's "Transatlanticism" with Gretchen Lemon of Jaws of Brooklyn and Dave Montgomery

    Episode 405

    Show notes

    Gretchen Lemon of Seattle based band Jaws of Brooklyn joins us to discuss "Transatlanticism" from Death Cab for Cutie. And, because we're talking about Death Cab, I had to invite little brother Dave Montgomery to join us since he was a big reason why I became a Death Cab for Cutie fan.

    Plenty of other discussion including Jaws of Brooklyn's new album "Unstoppable," traveling from Eastern Washington to Seattle, the creative peak of Ben Gibbard (The Postal Service came from this time period as well!!!), Chris Walla's influence, rethinking a score (and calling an audible on tape), and the killer rhythm section of Nick Harmer and Jason McGerr.

  16. Episode 404 - Bjorn Yttling discusses "Money Jungle" from Duke Ellington

    Episode 404

    Show notes

    Bjorn Ytlling...yeah he's the "Bjorn" of the group Peter, Bjorn and John...visits with us to discuss " Illegal Hit (Out of Bounds)," his first jazz album in like two decades under the moniker of "Yttling Jazz."

    Since Bjorn is in full jazz mode, he wanted to discuss "Money Jungle" that is credited to Duke Ellington but also includes jazz legends Max Roach and Charlie Mingus. Plenty of other discussion including The Radioheads, tugboats, Peter Hook, illegal hockey hits, taxi drivers inspiring a title to a song, and did you know that "Young Folks" was originally a jazz song?

    We don't discuss jazz all that often on this podcast so this was a nice detour. Even if you're not a fan of jazz music, hopefully there's something here for you to explore. Enjoy!

    Episode 402

    Show notes

    Our buddy Michael Citro, host of the "Michael's Record Collection" podcast, returns to talk about Rush again. Remember him from our "Signals" episode?

    Plenty of other discussion including the perils of recording (and editing), listening to all the Rush albums in order, do we celebrate deaths, Passage to Pueblo, cameltoe, "maybe you should let me write the songs from now on," Rush did a ballad (and it didn't generate all 1's), and pregaming for a different Canadian band in Triumph.

    Episode 400

    Show notes

    No Wayne on this one. Too many alphas in the room, perhaps? We discuss Uncle Tupelo's Alt Country classic "Anodyne" with Patreon Revisitor Seth Gill, Repeat Revisitor Jason Earle (of the Marinade Podcast) and musician Matt Woods. You know…the same guys from the Lucero episode from a while back. Lines have been drawn…Ben is definitely Pro Jeff Tweedy and Seth is definitely pro Jay Farrar. The other guys? You’ll have to listen to find out.
