Episode 36 - Tribute to Dick Scoppettone

This episode has some pretty amazing tunes and some pretty lackluster stories. In reality, I could've talked about Harpers Bizarre the entire hour, but sadly this was not the case. I also totally break the rules and play a Preston School of Industry 10", fairly certain that I had played them way back in the P episode. Meanwhile, the jury is still out regarding the inclusion of my 10" collection in this "internet project". Submit your votes in the comment section!?!

Episode 35 - Moby's Grapes

During the show I ebayed the Moby Grape LP and found out that it is actually quite valube if it has the infamous middle finger cover. Pretty rad to see a classic high school joke on a major label 1966 LP sleeve.

Episode 34 - 2006 < 1996

This episode leans heavily on the year 2006, during which I bought many records at Kobey's swap meet and had no friends. I'm not sure if I've made more friends since then, but I've stopped buying any goodlooking dollar record to cross my path. Some revelations within, but mostly just cold wave, industrial, prog and the origins of heavy metal, all wrong turns in my journey of self-discovery.

Episode 33 - The Return of Bruno

A fairly underwhelming episode with digital clipping and me saying the wrong episode number many times. It's still pretty cool that I own all the "It Came From Canada" comps even if they don't evoke many 'great stories'.

Episode 32 - Actually pretty overwhelming

I'm not sure if it was the extended break between this episode and the last, or the raw power of the "Blow the fuse" compilation but I basically lose my mind at the end of this episode. I suddenly understand the root of so many of my social flaws and idiosyncrasies. Years of space between me and my virile collection of B-grade "lost" 60's garage hits compilations has given room for a new portal to form. I think this happens at precisely 47:38.

Episode 31 - Homegrownish

I struggle through the bulk of the Homegrown compilations (local only compilations released by the San Diego classic rock FM station) and start to feel bad about my life. Luckily a few 80's punk comps + 60's Canadiana collections come through near the end. Collectors should note that this episode begins with an M-Blanket song.
