Off The Record: A Vinyl Podcast

Some may call it easy listening, we call it Buick music. Rather than pick one artist this time, our topic is a bit more nebulous and broad. In this episode we are discussing non-rock music pre 1970 and I think we succeeded in bringing you a who's who of entertainers. Some you liklely know well, some you've never heard of, and perhaps some you never want to hear again (but hopefully not). In addition, we added a new twist. We not only recorded this live from GrooveGround in Collingswood, NJ but we also picked the album from their selection of vinyl and listened to this cold. Yes, the reactions and commentary on this album are genuinely from two guys hearing an album for the first time. We hop you enjoy this exploration into the sounds of yesteryear. Many thanks to Chris and Mike for allowing us to record at their place of business and to Colin for setting it all up. If you like coffee, music, vinyl, and if you are in the Collingswood, NJ area, please check them out.

In keeping with the theme of our last episode, Ken has decided to delve into the year in music of 1984. It's full of jokes with obscure references, "nostalgia" references, and low on actual high brow content. But hey, give it a listen anyway.

In this long overdue episode of Off The Record, the ball is given to Jim who runs with it taking listeners on a musical tour of 1979 with a selection of Jim's favorite albums from that year. It's classic Jim.

Off the Record: A Vinyl Podcast is aimed at discussing our favorite music and albums over the years in a relaxed (OK, very relaxed) setting. In addition to our picks, we further look to have on local guests who can bring in their favorites from time to time. Off the Record is completely written (or ad libbed), produced, and distributed by Ken and Jim and it shows. They are two life long friends, band mates, and just regular guys who enjoy not only music but also discussions, debates, and a good drink to go along with it all. Some obligatory disclaimers to note. Our podcast is low on research and said production. So please keep that in mind and take it with a hug grain of salt when listening. As such, bear in mind that technical issues will likely not be edited out either because we can’t or don’t know how. We hope this adds a bit or realism to our show. Also keep in mind that while we do own these albums on vinyl, for ease of production we are listening to either a CD or mp3 during the show. We hope everyone enjoys these podcasts as much as we enjoy making them.
