Random Old Records Podcast #95
Hey folks, Random Old Records Podcast is still here after thirteen years. Still using other people's words to tell my own story. Still listening to all of the music to find the gems. Still wearing a mask, still not leaving my house. I must be doing something right, because EPISODE #95 is one of…

Random Old Records Podcast #94
It feels like I've listened to a hundred albums in the past month looking for inspiration, and EPISODE #94 of Random Old Records is the result of all those hours logged under the headphones and between the speakers. This is a fun one, so let's dig in! You'll hear everything from hardcore punk...

Random Old Records Podcast #91
OK, so 2021 started and I somehow became obsessed with 90s punk rock again. It's pretty intense, probably the most obsessed I've been since well, the 90s. EPISODE #91 of Random Old Records is filled with classics and sleepers from the last decade of the 20th century, plus a whole lot more. You'll...

Random Old Records Podcast #90

Random Old Records Podcast #89
Hey folks! It's that time of year again. EPISODE #89 of Random Old Records is the annual 5/10/15/20 edition, featuring classic tracks from the years 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015. This will probably be the last episode of Random Old Records of 2020 and I wanted to go out with a bang, so this one is...
-
Random Old Records Podcast #88
Like a lot of people, I haven't left my house much for the last seven months. I've spent a lot of time with headphones on, trying to find the dreamiest music possible to escape into and pass the time. EPISODE #88 is crammed full of distorted guitars, piercing synths, vocal histrionics, and...
-
Random Old Records Podcast #87
2020, am I right?! The longest year in recorded human history is rolling on and on and so is Random Old Records. EPISODE #87 doesn't really have a theme or a point, other than containing 20 of the best songs I've heard in the past 30 days. So...let's dig in and let's get it on! It all kicks off...
-
Random Old Records Podcast #86

Random Old Records Podcast #85
So I've been mostly housebound for the last four months with plenty of free time. Luckily, while most of life has been on pause, the torrent of incredible music continues unchecked. I've been filling my head with jams of all eras, both new and new to me, and EPISODE #85 of Random Old Records is...
-
Random Old Records Podcast #84
If you've been listening to Random Old Records for awhile, you'll know that weather and the seasons are one of the primary inspirations behind the music on the show. Well it's hot and hazy here in Ohio, so naturally EPISODE #84 is laid back and easy going to help beat back the sweat and the steam...
-
Random Old Records Podcast #83
Dreams, dreaming, and dreamy music is the order of the day. Everything is transforming and reality is realer than ever, and I find myself closing my eyes and dreaming of dinner at my favorite restaurant, a quick browse at the record store, and a stop at the Creamy Whip on the way home. EPISODE…

Random Old Records Podcast #82
You know what? Music is the best. Not only that, but music is still the best and will continue to be the best no matter how awful things might seem. I've felt just about as helpless as most of you probably feel right now and I can't change the world, but I can sure as hell play a little music for...

Random Old Records Podcast #79
Happy 2020! I got married in 2019 which was pretty incredible, but otherwise the year was mighty rough in all sorts of ways for all sorts of people. Luckily, music continues to be amazing and it always seems to be there to lift everyone back up when they need it the most. EPISODE #79 of Random…

Random Old Records Podcast #78
2019 is nearly over, and I don't feel like doing a best of the year playlist, so I figured the next best thing to do would be to go back in time! EPISODE #78 is the annual 5/10/15/20 episode of Random Old Records, which surveys the best or most interesting music from 5, 10, 15, and 20 years ago....

Random Old Records Podcast #77
I was in a mellow mood most of the summer, but I've been stockpiling a bunch of hot, raging punk rock jams and it's time to finally let them all out! EPISODE #77 of Random Old Records contains 26 big tracks of floor-stomping, bow-throwin' rock n' roll for just about everyone. It's got classics by...
-
Random Old Records Podcast #76
Hey folks I'm back! EPISODE #76 of Random Old Records is a soundtrack for this strange and unsettling summer. It doesn't make a lot of sense but there's plenty of good stuff to keep you entertained and keep you thinking, at least I hope so! The show kicks off with a mix of modern soul from Durand...
-
Random Old Records Podcast #75
2019 has been one of the most exhausting years on record, at least it feels that way as June comes to a close. It's my hope that EPISODE #75 of Random Old Records is a little sunshine in all of this rain, a little escapism from the tough and angry world outside, a little bit of fun and relief…
more -
Random Old Records Podcast #74
It's a couple weeks later than I wanted, but Random Old Records is finally back! EPISODE #74 is a little bit messy. It's silly and sad, loud and soft, joyous and tense, goofy and awkward. Some of the transitions are a bit rough. There's some stuff here that sounds a little out-of-place if you're...
-
Random Old Records Podcast #73
Hey folks, it's time for a brand new Random Old Records Podcast! EPISODE #73 starts out punk rock, ends up pop, and takes a lot of wild detours in between. The original playlist for this one was over four hours, and it took a lot of work to get it down to 59 minutes and 37 seconds. Let's dive in!...
-
Random Old Records Podcast #72
Hey folks, Random Old Records is back for its 11th year! EPISODE #72 is nearly a full hour of that classic rock n' roll beat presented in a wide variety of styles and eras, from the 50s to just a few weeks ago. That's a convoluted and verbose way to say: the one's got some serious JAMS! Kicking…

Random Old Records Podcast #71
Hey folks, welcome to the last Random Old Records podcast of 2018! EPISODE #71 jumps wildly from genre to genre, equally divided between music for dancing and dreaming. Colemine Records out of Loveland, Ohio has been modestly releasing the best vintage-sounding soul music all year long. The...
-
Random Old Records Podcast #70
This month, I felt a sudden shock of inspiration and this podcast seemed to appear instantly out of thin air! EPISODE #70 of Random Old Records started like many past ones have, with a song that I couldn't get out of my head. In this case, it was the first track off the classic 1997 album by The...
-
Random Old Records Podcast #69
Hey folks! Another month has gone by and it's time for a brand new hour of Random Old Records! EPISODE #69 features 28 massive tracks of new and old punk, rock, and punk rock. There's so much good stuff I can't talk about it all, but let's give it a shot, OK? All of the aggression is…

Random Old Records Podcast #67
Sometimes Random Old Records takes a lot of work to put together, but this one fell together smooth and easy. I guess it makes sense that the general vibe of EPISODE #67 is nice and laid back as well, coasting on twanging guitars, harmonies both cheesy and transcendent, pounding pianos, burbling...

Random Old Records Podcast #66
2018 is rolling on, and Random Old Records podcast is back! EPISODE #66 is a set of tracks for this hot and uncomfortable summer. Whether you're sweating it out in the streets or hibernating under a pile of blankets in your sweet, sweet air conditioned room, there's a little something for…

Random Old Records Podcast #65
I tried coming up with some kind of theme to EPISODE #65 of Random Old Records, but had the hardest time. 18 out of the 20 tracks included here feature a female vocalist, but it's not any kind of feminist statement. It jumps across genres. There's punk and reggae but not at the same time. There's...
-
Random Old Records Podcast #64
I didn't put out a podcast in March, since this one ended up being an absolute MONSTER to put together. Back in Summer of 2016, I did an episode where every song came from my personal collection of 7" singles. That one was so much fun, and I've picked up a bunch of new 45s in the past two years…

Random Old Records Podcast #63
It's February 2018 and Valentine's Day was last week. Since love is still in the air and because everybody's got problems in this world, EPISODE #63 of Random Old Records is taking on the twin themes of love and dread. Check out an hour's worth of jams that are hand-picked by a real person, not…

Random Old Records Podcast #62
Happy new year, Random Old Records Podcast is back! EPISODE #62 kicks off 2018 with nineteen fresh jams that sound like tires on the road, wings in the air, feet on the ground, and fire in the hills. If your new year's resolution was to check out some new music, well here's your opportunity! The...
-
Random Old Records Podcast #61
In what is now a yearly tradition, EPISODE #61 of Random Old Records is a special 5/10/15/20 edition. For a little over an hour, I jump into the time machine and travel back to 1997, 2002, 2007, and 2012 to take a look around and sample the top jams of those particular years! This time, I start…

Random Old Records Podcast #60
I was spending a frenzied night at home getting this episode ready and while I was uploading it, a thought came into my head: November 2017 marks the NINTH year of Random Old Records Podcast. Sure, I've taken a few months or even years off at times, but this show remains my favorite hobby in the...
-
Random Old Records Podcast #59
TRUE STORY: this episode of Random Old Records was supposed to come out back in April. I had an entire hour mapped out, made a test-mix, and immediately hated it. So, I trashed the entire thing, sat on it awhile, made a few changes, still hated it, started from scratch and hated THAT one too…

Random Old Records Podcast #58
Happy February to you all! Everyone seems to be on edge lately due to the new president and the strange weather patterns moving their way across the United States, so what better way to turn off your brain and relax than a brand new episode of Random Old Records! I've already broken my resolution...

Random Old Records Podcast #57
It's a brand new year, and to celebrate 2017, here's a brand new episode of Random Old Records Podcast! My new year's resolution is to get back to a regular schedule and release a new episode once a month, so hopefully I can stick to it! Doing this podcast is amazing fun, but it's only a hobby…

Random Old Records Podcast #56
Hey, folks! There was no episode of Random Old Records in October, truly sorry for the delay! I needed a little extra time to craft the perfect selection of tracks for this one. Episode #56 is a special 5-10-15-20 edition, which opens up the memory banks and goes back in time to the years 2011,...
-
Random Old Records Podcast #55
I'm few weeks late this time, but hopefully this selection of jams will be worth the wait! September brings the great news that Memphis weirdo blues rockers the Grifters have reissued their classic 1994 LP, Crappin' You Negative. This hot mess of ugly distortion, bent guitar duels, and…

Random Old Records Podcast #54
Another month has passed, and Random Old Records Podcast has returned with another hour's worth of jams! Earlier in the year, I acquired the amazing 3 disc compilation on Cherry Red Records called Dust On The Nettles. This set goes deep into the UK's psychedelic folk scene, from big names like...
-
Random Old Records Podcast #53
Well, I spent a little over a month going through my modest collection of 7" vinyl and have picked out 28 tracks, both A's and B's. Episode #53 of Random Old Records is dedicated to the EP, the single, the 45, the seven inch vinyl record! Though it sometimes sucks to get up and flip a record over...

Random Old Records Podcast #52
Just got home from work, and it's so warm and muggy and gross that the outside feels like the inside of a sewer. YUCK! Luckily, Random Old Records Podcast is back with a brand new episode containing 58 minutes and 7 seconds of chilled-out jams that feel like a blast of sweet A/C to the face. You...
-
Random Old Records Podcast #51
Hey, folks!! Another month has gone by, and now here's a brand new episode of Random Old Records Podcast to (possibly) bring some joy to your life and (hopefully) break up the monotony. This time around, it starts off with a run of classic country and country-rock, including the maddeningly…
more -
Random Old Records Podcast #50
To be honest, one of the reasons I started doing Random Old Records Podcast again was because I was so close to episode #50 when I went on my hiatus. To be so close to that milestone when I gave it up never really sat well with me. Well, here we are, and I'll probably do another 50 before I'm…

Random Old Records Podcast #49

Random Old Records Podcast #48
Hello, and welcome to the first episode of Random Old Records Podcast in two years! If you liked this podcast before, then you will like this one. If you have no idea what this is, or who I am, this is as good of a place to start as any. EPISODE #48 contains an hour of songs about growing up,...

Random Old Records Podcast #47
I've written dozens of these little blog posts hyping my latest podcast, so what more can I say at this point? RANDOM OLD RECORDS #47 has got the jams, an hour of them to be exact. It's got classics by Nada Surf, The Posies, and Teenage Fanclub. It's got brand new ones by Morgan Delt, Tony…
