Syndication

(Note - had to rerecord due to bad file. Editing a bit choppy, but firm nonetheless. Enjoy!)

Taking my cue (again) from Sound Opinions, I'm going to be focusing on a band that I had blogged about long ago - at least, one of their albums.

This is a trial podcast, of a sort, as the focus is on the first three albums by cult favorite band Big Star. Enjoy!

Show Notes:

Sound Opinions Album Dissection - # 1 Record/Radio City

#1 Record/Radio City

Third/Sister Lovers

Even though there are some "rerun" podcast, this month's Record You Should Own (coming on the heels of August) is a compilation by a band that deserves much more attention - Special View by the Only Ones.


Special View - Only Ones (MP3 Album)
Peel Sessions - Only Ones

This month's selection is a record that made me cool for all of about two seconds in high school. Hear about that story - as well as my usual ramblings - when I discuss Prince's Purple Rain

But don't just take my word for it - listen to a more in-depth analysis on Sound Opinions.

And finally, there's a little babbling at the end about some upcoming news and events.

Yes, I've been away for two months...but as a special gift, a double Record You Should Own - a box set's worth of garage rock.

And a brief tribute to Sky Saxon of the Seeds.

Finishing up the blog's fifth anniversary, I complete my liveblogging of the Kids in the Hall by discussing their sole cinematic outing, Brain Candy, as well as discuss three (!) albums you should own. (All Kids in the Hall related, and two out-of-print, but worth hunting down)




Kids in the Hall - Brain Candy (DVD)
Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy (Video on Demand)
Kids In The Hall: Brain Candy - Music From The Motion Picture Soundtrack
Bruce McCullough: Shame-Based Man
Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet: Savvy Show Stoppers

With news that they will be featured in a video game - and that their albums will be remastered for the first time in years - it seemed right to do a podcast about the Beatles.

But what album will be featured - With the Beatles? Revolver? Sgt. Pepper? Jimmy Nichols Sings Tender Campfire Songs?

Give a listen as Gordon talks about his favorite Beatles album - and why it's a Record You Should Own.
