Beer Me That Vinyl Garrett Thomson & Kent Oglesby

This month's Beer Me That Vinyl is one we've been excited about for a long time. Fifteen-year veterans of Knoxville's music scene Gamenight is pairing their latest album 'Buddro' with Last Days of Autumn's Panda Magic APA. This record is amazing and the perfect addition to any vinyl collection. Josh and Brandon Manis (aka the Bash Brothers) joined us on the podcast to talk about their band, this album, and a bunch of other great stories along the way. Also, Sisqo's "Thong Song" factored heavily into this episode somehow.

On the part 2 of this month's Beer Me That Vinyl, Garrett and Zack Roskop of Knox Brew Tours sat down with Aaron Freeman and Zach Young from Abridged Beer Company to talk about their beer, music, and a whole lot more.

Adam and Sarrenna McNulty of Guy Marshall joined us to talk about their latest record 'The Love We've Made Together And Otherwise', and what a conversation it was! We go deeeeep on this one and were treated to great stories and insights behind the songwriting, production, and album art for the album. Touching on topics like love, religion, personal introspection, and so many other aspects that color the creation of this record, we now have a greatly strengthened appreciation for it. While listening to this episode, if you've already heard, you'll love it more. If you haven't, you'll want to listen immediately.

Garreth Spinn joins us to talk about things you need to know when getting into vinyl collecting like setting up your turntable, cleaning and maintaining records, different ways to categorize, crate digging, etc.. Also, we get on a few tangents of general music nerdery like music docs, band beefs, and more. It's a super fun episode whether you're a vinyl person or not.

Garrett Sale (aka William Wild) and Aaron McClain, owner/head brewer at Crafty Bastard join us on this episode of BMTV. Garrett had some incredible stories about the making of this debut self-titled record as well as his new record Push Ups, and we talk about how one of the tracks was selected as the end credits music for an award-winning film. Aaron from Crafty was full of great info about their beer and brewery. If you want to skip to the beer segment, it's at the 58-minute mark. This is our longest episode, because it's chock-full of great stuff, and we couldn't bear to cut any of it!

The first installment of Beer Me That Vinyl where you can get an excellent record from some of our favorite bands paired with a package of local craft beer selected by the band. It's the perfect way to support the local music and beer scene at the same time. On this episode we talk to Tyler Anthony of Cereus Bright about their 2016 record 'Excuses' as well as Shane Todd from Elst Brewery!
