Episode 28 - Chillout

The peak of my ongoing quest for high school bands playing rock songs is presented hear with the Golden Rams' rendition of Blood, Sweat and Tears' Spinning Wheel. I also exhaust my entire Barbershop LP collection, while 'Sounds of the Sea' gives a scary prediction of the unbearable novelty records to come in future episodes!

Episode 27 - The Transition Era

The first "almost all good music" episode. These records date mostly to my first few months living in San Diego, clearly documenting the rise of smooth pop and fall of the anything-with-a-harpsichord dream. Also note the horrible technical difficulties due to the amateurish state (no headphones!) of the KSDT studios.

Episode 26 - Exit the Stacks

This marks the end of records pulled from "the stacks" which are actually just these shelves in my room that I made face each other so that when you walk in between them it feels claustrophobic and stuffy. Needless to say, I'm lazy and don't refile records very frequently, so most of the records in the stacks hadn't seen the turntable in quite some time. The rest of this journey (starting with the last song in this episode!) will now be focused on more contemporary finds/loves and records that I've actually listened to once or twice in the last 3 years. Hold on to you horse.
