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.

Episode 58 - Do you remember rock 'n roll radio?

After a five month hiatus of academics, graduation, tripping, DJing for 24 hours straight, traveling and, alas, more record buying, I returned to the studio of KSDT (or KSTD as I call it with specific veteran and criminal staff members in mind) and recorded Episode 58. This is perhaps the most contemporary episode possible, comprising of records purchased during my most recent visit to New Orleans as well as a few surprises and summations of recent life crises.

Episode 57 - DJ Craig Biggio

The four song mini hip-hop set makes this episode somewhat worthwhile. I also go to great lengths to describe this LP cover,

further proof that my command of the word is mediocre at best while my taste in music is somewhere south of questionable (see what I mean?). At least I can cling to the hope of one day being more eloquent than Disco Rick.

Episode 56 - I'm just beginning to live

It the spirit of poor planning as the antithesis of uncool, I play Jonathan Richman's Rockin' and Romance LP for the second time (see Episode 15). In one sense, it is completely legit, as I did buy that LP twice. In the other sense, it is testament to my total lack of resolve. At a certain point my body just begins to crave actual 'good' music over the completeness of my life. This is true for the following reason: I'm sentimental and insist on only remembering the extreme good and extreme bad. Something like "Berlin 1992: A Tresor Comilation" just kinda gets played with zero remarks.
