Episode 65 - End of An Error

With perfect timing, I complete the task of listening to one song from every record in my record collection*. This final episode clocks in at 5 hours and represents a sprint to the finish. For your convenience, it is split into 4 parts below. This website now represents a complete archive of my life via the records that I have loved. If a fire or flood destroys my collection, my insurance claim will simply be a matter of cutting and pasting from this website. Thank you for listening.

Part one: French West African jams, Urgh a Music War, silent guest host Jackie Canchola, dance club slander.

Episode 63 - One track mind

Thanks to a recent trip to LA and an amazing 10th anniversary sale at Marriage Records, this episode features records that have been in my collection for less than a week. That being said, some of the memories are ancient, stretching back to some of the first records I ever bought (Railroad Jerk's Bang the Drum). Also, I briefly mention the phrase 'spanning time' and avoid the story about being ALMOST invited to a celebrity birthday party, further confirming that it is still a sore memory.

Episode 62 - Don't Touch My Bikini

Even I'll admit that the music in this episode is wall to wall rock solid. I brought my own record cartridges so that I wouldn't have to deal with the stations miserably damaged ones. I bought some snacks before the show, which always makes for a more relaxed and phlegmy. I had some excellent songs to just sit back and blast to myself. Quite a few memories were skirted over - I could probably fill an hour just talking about Kevin Greenspon or Apollo Ghosts alone, not mention such seminal groups as Key Losers and Halo Benders. All in all, a great episode.

Episode 61 - Show me your motion

Amidst major technical difficulties, I bust out an hour long set of stictly French West African records purchased from a single flee market stall in Athens, Greece. The covers are priceless but the songs aren't half bad either. I lose it a few times due to broken needles (that I just replaced) and failing microphones. OH WELL.

Episode 60 - Skeet, Skat

At this point, my record collection is totally jumbled up, mainly due to the 24 hours DJ set that I did. So I need to go through my collection and find the few remaining records that haven't been played on this show. Here, I am doing that in real time! It is a totally unpleasant and boring task, rightly appropriate for this internet podcast/broadcast!

Episode 59 - Recsperience

This episode features a specially curated three song mini-segment by Emily Beliveau, in which she explores some digs from the town of Goedrich, Ontario (I call it "Good-Rich" although supposedly it's pronounced "God-Er-Rich"). Clearly Emily has advanced taste.
