Shelby Lynne's voice resonates with hard-won wisdom and the unseen scars of love and loss. After returning home to Nashville after years in Palm Springs, CA, she and a core unit of talented women collaborated on her stunning new album, Consequences of the Crown which her new label (Monument Records) accurately describes as "a haunting exploration of the labyrinth of human pain that emerges with grace."

Founder members John Doe and Exene Cervenka are here to talk about their long and storied career, and the significance of an album they are calling their "farewell."

Comedy records are records too! WTF podcast host Marc Maron returns to the show to talk about his new vinyl LP, From Bleak To Dark (Craft Recordings) and a bit about the comedy albums of his youth. And since we just lost comedy legend Bob Newhart, the deadpan comic responsible for one of the most historic comedy albums of all time, The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart, comedy vinyl aficionado Dan Pasternack also returns to our show to say "Hi Bob" and contextualize the impact of Newhart's albums on the culture of comedy and even the Grammys.

Read his books on Nirvana, Hendrix and Springsteen, a legend in music journalism and a good friend to many of our friends and favorite musicians. --
Brigitte Calls Me Baby is a Chicago-based band with a sound that, while rooted in 2024 could have easily made it onto the soundtrack of an 80s John Hughes' teen comedy. But as frontpserson and songwriter Wes Leavins explains to Paul, there's more to the story, including his involvement in Baz Luhrmann's biopic, Elvis. We unpack the band's just-released debut album, The Future Is Our Way Out (ATO Records), produced by BCMB with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb.

Lawrence Rothman (they/them) is a gender fluid singer songwriter (and music producer) born in St. Louis, MO, and currently living in Los Angeles, CA. In the course of discussing their recently released album The Plow That Broke The Plains, Lawrence describes a lot of the pain and struggle that went into the songs. It's a frank and honest conversation and we think you'll find the music compelling too. **Warning: themes of sexual violence, gun violence, anti-LGBTQ+ violence, body dysmorphia and eating disorders.

There's kind of a theme to this week's show, which is admittedly a bit of a mashup of two previous episodes plus a new chat with Travis & Lisa from The Guestroom in Louisville, KY. It all started last summer, when Lisa and Travis flew to London to see Blur in concert at the legendary Wembley Stadium. Cut to this year, and the July 26 release of the Blur Live At Wembley set. Paul caught up with Travis & Lisa to debrief them on what it was like to actually be there. Woo Hoo! Well, Blur's Graham Coxon has recently been playing with Dhani Harrison, so we took this opportunity to re-post Paul's chat with Dhani earlier this year. Topics included working with his dad, George Harrison, who as you probably know was in The Beatles. Well, THAT made us want to close this week's episode with a reprise of Paul's conversation with the legendary drummer from The Beatles, Ringo Starr. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we got an actual Beatle! So many connections here, and that's not even including the fact that both Blur and The Beatles were signed to the Parlophone label in the UK! Say "Beetlebum" three times and you're there.

After last week's all-Memphis lineup (Episode #134) it's time for a little North Carolina love as we welcome Superchunk founders Mac McCaughan and Laura Ballance to talk about their little indie label that could, Merge Records, as they celebrate 35 years with the big MERGE 35 festival in Chapel Hill, NC, July 24-27. Meanwhile over in Raleigh, RSD co-founder Carrie Colliton speaks fondly of her neighbors and praises their eclectic roster.

Let's go to Memphis in the meantime, baby! Our featured interview is with Rob Bowman, the Toronto based academic scholar and Grammy Award-winning professor of ethnomusicology.

This year, the genre-straddling Hawthorne, California rock band Redd Kross are celebrating 45 years as a band, and as such, founding brothers Jeff and Steve McDonald have been involved in a number of biographical projects including a memoir, Now You’re One Of Us (with author Dan Epstein), and director Andrew Reich’s career-spanning documentary, Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story. But perhaps the most relevant to our interests here at the RSD Podcast is their brand new self-titled, 18 song double-album Redd Kross, (In the Red Records).

Last year, The Lemon Twigs' Brian & Michael D'Addario made their RSD Podcast debut to talk about one of the best albums of 2023, Everything Harmony. Exactly one year later, they're back with a brand new album, A Dream Is All We Know, recorded mostly by themselves at their Brooklyn studio, except for one track on which they collaborated with Sean Ono Lennon at his studio in upstate New York. It's another strong set of original music and you won't want to miss this conversation. Carrie Colliton has the week off.

English/Irish composer and arranger Sean O'Hagan (Microdisney, Stereolab) is perhaps best known as the visionary behind The High Llamas, whose second album Gideon Gaye (1994) blended a healthy respect for the harmonic tableaus of both Brian Wilson and Steely Dan with a delicate UK pop sound reminiscent of his contemporaries such as Prefab Sprout. On the brand new High Llamas album, Hey Panda, (featuring guests including Fryars, and Bonny "Prince" Billy) O'Hagan has been absorbing many of the production tricks of contemporary hip-hip records from the likes of Tyler The Creator or Solange, while retaining most of the melodic tendencies that first endeared High Llamas' fans to his music. As you'll hear, O'Hagan cares deeply about keeping his ear to the ground for the new while honoring the past. It's a great conversation. And Record Store Day co-founder Carrie Colliton returns after a highly successful Record Store Day 2024.

For the last six episodes, we've been previewing some of the titles on the list for Record Store Day 2024 (April 20). This week, we wind down this series with a very special exclusive interview with musician and composer Dhani Harrison, who also happens to be the president of Dark Horse Records, the label founded by his father, the late and beloved George Harrison. Dark Horse is partnering on several releases with RSD, including his dad's Electronic Sound and Wonderwall Music, Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros Rock Art and The X-Ray Style, and Dreamers In The Field, a collaboration between Dhani, Carmen Rizzo, and Tuvan throat-singers, Huun-Huur-Tu. We talk about all of this and so much more. Musician and producer James Saez talks about the RSD set that he restored and produced featuring the great Nat King Cole, recorded Live at The Blue Note in Chicago in the summer of 1953. Eric Levin at Criminal Records talks about Dreams Don't Cost A Thing, an all-day tribute to the recently departed Dexter Romweber (Flat Duo Jets) at their Atlanta store on Record Store Day.
