Blue Island Radio Podcast

What do you get when you combine The Cramps, Johnny Cash, Tom Waits, and let's say, a bottle of Malort? Well, besides a terrible hangover you might also get today's guests Eric Dinse & Eric P. Schwartz aka The League of Erics! Listen, as Brandon & AP Lindsay welcome them back to the show to celebrate the release of their new album All Kinds of Trouble on Cavetone Records. Besides listening to both sides of the album they also go through each song, track by track and discuss their writing process, inspirations, the collaborative process, how they tried to get Malort to sponsor them, and more! Listen to the end to hear Eric take on Eric in a game of Song Burst! Then joins us at their official record release party at Bernice's Tavern in Chicago on Saturday, September 26th.       League of Erics Bandcamp: https://theleagueoferics.bandcamp.com/album/all-kinds-of-trouble Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leagueoferics/  

Brandon and AP Lindsay are back on the ones & twos to play some records from the Blue Island Radio Podcast record library.  There's some nostalgia, some local flavor, and even a brand new one! But first they lament the end of the Windy City Thunderbolt's season and Brandon reminds everybody that he is a very old man.   Places to follow BIRP: Instagram: @birp60406 Facebook: @blueislandradio Tik Tok @birp60406 If you'd like to support the show visit Patreon.com/blueislandradio            

On today's episode of Vinyl Fridays Brandon and AP Lindsay welcome returning guest DJ Jay Vycas from the bands Goodbye Sunshine and Open Fire and his friend Scott Carroll from the long running Chicago band Cianide. While Jay & Scott play a fine selection of Scandinavian action rock, Brandon fumbles around with his usual assortment of beat up dime store records. In addition to listening to vinyl and talking about vinyl we'll also listen to a couple of face melting songs by Cianide and Open Fire so stay tuned 'til the very end.

Brandon & AP Lindsay welcome back guest DJ Joe Chellino, who is not only a social media influencer but also the person playing drums on the show's current theme song. Together he and AP Lindsay play a wonderful collection of songs while Brandon does his best to drop a big ole turd ib the punch bowl, as usual with songs by Tijuana Hercules, Clothilde, The Lostines and more! Here is Joe posing with a book he recommends: The Hours Are Long and The Pay is Low by Rob Miller of Bloodshot Records fame. Watch Another Mourning, the short movie that Joe was in and that we discissed on this episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oI3BsupFaSg --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Find us here: Biradio.libsyn.com

On today's episode of the Blue Island Radio Podcast Brandon & AP Lindsay are joined by guests Fred Morg and Jessica Zee for a discussion about how we either continue to be fans of musicians whose behaviors are not just offensive but in some cases criminal, or we get rid of their records and stop listening. What's more important, the art or the artist? At least, that's what I think this episode is about. You'll just have to listen.  And thank you to all the people who responded to my online questionnaire about the subject. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Find us here: Tik Tok @birp60406 Instagram: @birp60406
