It turns out that while streaming music is incredibly convenient, it’s not as fun as sorting through bins at a thrift store. Join me as I wander through thrift stores, record stores, garage sales, and yes, even the internet. Recreating a record collection one surprise at a time.

  1. Single #5: Beaucoups of Blues/Coochy Coochy

    VOR 34 M · BONUS

    Single #5: Beaucoups of Blues/Coochy Coochy

    Ringo! As the four Beatles started to figure out who they were without the other three, Ringo went to Nashville and recorded his first country album. And we have the single--the title track, backed with a non-album B-side.

  2. Record #37: Band on the Run

    VOR 6 TAGEN

    Record #37: Band on the Run

    It is possible to recognize an album as being the best, but having another as your favorite. I tease apart why I consider Band on the Run to be the best Wings album, but Back to the Egg is my favorite. I talk about the lore surrounding the album, tease out some biographical breadcrumbs nestled within the lyrics, and talk about how, even now, fans go wild when Paul plays one of these songs live.

  3. Single #4: Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go

    27. FEB. · BONUS

    Single #4: Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go

    We've got another extended dance mix for all you fans of 80s synth pop! The single Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go, backed with Memorabilia and Tainted Dub. I talk covers, instrumentation and used record seredipity!

  4. Record #36: Beethoven's Sixth Symphony (Pastorale)

    20. FEB.

    Record #36: Beethoven's Sixth Symphony (Pastorale)

    It's highbrow time at Record Collecting HQ! I discuss the life and times of one Ludwig van Beethoven (the famous grandson, not the grandfather), talk about the shift from the eighteenth century, full of Reason and the Classical Era, and the nineteenth century, which ushered in the dawn of Romanticism. I talk tinnitus and fear of heights, as well as getting back on my soapbox to bitch about the vagaries of classification.

  5. Single #3: Girl from Ipanema Goes to Greenland

    13. FEB. · BONUS

    Single #3: Girl from Ipanema Goes to Greenland

    Let's dance this mess around! I tackle our first 12" single here at Record Collecting HQ, with four versions of the Girl from Ipanema Goes to Greenland. While the song is fun, the story behind the scenes is much less so. I pop off about Reagan, particularly re: the AIDS crisis.

  6. Record #35: Lexicon of Love

    8. FEB.

    Record #35: Lexicon of Love

    A bit tardy to the party, as I get back into the rhythm of regular recording again. We have a great slice of early 80s new wave, ABC's Lexicon of Love. I talk about hooks, lyrics, early music videos, Bravo reality stars, and much more! Note: I apologize in advance--I was too lazy to drag out my pop filter, and my plosives and aspirations are out of control.

  7. Single #2: Another Day/Oh Woman, Oh Why

    30. JAN. · BONUS

    Single #2: Another Day/Oh Woman, Oh Why

    The bitch is back! My turntable has a brand spanking-new cartridge, and I'm ready to play records and tell you what I think! The single under discussion: Another Day and Oh Woman, Oh Why by Paul McCartney. I touch on credits, publishing, the interminable Apple lawsuits, the patriarchy, and Weird Paul for a little less than eight minutes.

    8 Min.

  8. 25. JAN. · BONUS

    All Apologies

    Nope, no Nirvana (yet); just a brief announcement/explanation why there haven't been the anticipated posts. I'll be running two weeks behind for the duration of this batch, but I will be getting to everything I planned. Remember kids: lock your tone arm before you put the turntable cover on. Your stylus will thank you.
