Smell the faintest whiff of rockabilly on any revivalists outfit, be it mod, a leather jacket or otherwise. Here a complete picture of the high school me is painted in lush detail. Enjoy.

Episode 38 - Preventative Maintenance

What can I say about this inane project that hasn't already been said? I play some hits. I play some duds. I continue to be self-absorbed. For some reason I censor myself and don't talk about crying at a Julie Doiron show.

Episode 37 - Better than Beatlejuice

If I'm getting this exhausted with this project, I can only IMAGINE what people listening to this garbage must think. At some point during this episode (somewhere between the Hollywood calypso and the mega-ultra-rare but actually good Christian LP) I was reminded of the ever eclectic "Lonesome Jimmy's Twilight Lounge", a radio show disdained during my youth. How did my life become 99% shtick? Pray that Episode 38 will only be super sincere actual good music.

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'.
