Podcast #10 – Background Noise

groovy-cleanerFinally got around to that new music podcast. New music this week from records both new to me, as well as albums and singles that have recently been released.

Putting this week’s podcast together was a bit of a headache, as we recently put a dehumidifier in the basement (where I record the podcast). It means my records are far less likely to get all wonky from mold, but it kicks on every two hours, and I wonder how it affected everything during the back announces. My turntable’s needle was a bit wonky, as well. I played a thrift store LP that I thought I’d cleaned, but it was scratched all to hell, and I worry that I might have to drop $35 I don’t have to get a new stylus sometime soon.

Sorry about the complaints. The podcast is pretty spot-on this week, though. The tunes are great, and I hope I didn’t set the bar too high in terms of awesome summer jams. I’m going to try and make next week’s show a full-on middle-of-summer car tunes playlist, so get your stereos ready. Have a happy Fourth of July weekend. Try not to lose a finger, okay?
