Friends and lovers, we have made it to the end of the project known as 69 Vinyl Records: The $150 Podcast! And what a way to close it out - a special on-location campstravaganza pod with loads of guests and recorded on magnetic tapes! Stay tuned throughout to find out how you can prove your devotion/code cracking abilities to the sole arbiter and get your portion of the $150 Podcast Promise. Recorded on both August 16 and September 20, 2020.
Wow folks - the primary main run comes to an end with episode 68, as Kurtis fills the final guest slot to break down Led Zeppelin II. What HAVEN'T we reminisced about yet after seven hearpearances? How about specific teachers from our wacky parochial high school? Or who can do a better Robert Plant impression? Stay tuned for a thrilling round of You Will Be Mine By Taking Our TIME. We wrap it all up next week! Incredible! See you then! Recorded May 25, 2020.
FOLKS, *this* is how you say goodbye: by having the John Doe of guests on the John Doe of podcasts to talk about the John Doe of albums. Of course, we mean Luke on this 67th episode of 69 Vinyl Records to talk with Snowy about Steely Dan's Gaucho! This longest-ever 'sode of the pod' is jam packed: there are 2 games, bold predictions about the future, and a whole lot of singing. Recorded May 23, 2020.
Tell me what's the word - a word up! Anna (fan of the avant garde, etc) makes a non-Cameo final canonical appearance here with Ryan as they break into Shintaro Sakamoto's 2017 Love If Possible. Spoiler alert: We have our last bit of good news on this episode's Today in Coronavirus, and all kinds of warm fuzzy feelings about the album (those will continue). Anna has to suss out exactly what disco is on a special edition of Disco Is. Recorded May 24, 2020.
Wow, listeners - we're really getting down to it! Kristin joins the 3rd-timer club to geek out over Yo La Tengo's Stuff Like That There. We've got festival tales, we have cover comparisons, we have people doing real science! And we've got a great game, Automatic Doom. Recorded May 22, 2020.
**CW: IPV**Alex, brother of the pod, returns even at risk of an intra-squad squab in the quat! There's good news in the 'roni segment, great music throughout, and a nostalgia-laden stroll down memory lane in A Rage of Plastics. Recorded May 21, 2020.
It was Janell who first got us talking about Sir Johnny Basketballs so many months ago, and here she is to reap the rewards of the pod's first cause (retiring Johnny Davis's #16 for the Blazers, obvs) on her final appearance! She and Ryan also gush about Kishi Bashi and his fantastic record, Sonderlust. There are a million references to other artists, and a fairly embarrassing few rounds of Why Won't You Answer Me? Recorded May 21, 2020.
Listener, get ready for a one-of-a-kind episode about a one-of-a-kind record, cohosted by a one-of-a-kind guest! It's Ty's fifth and final appearance, and he and Ry get to nerd about their favorite hometown sports franchise with this championship season highlight retrospective, Blazermania. It's also the first episode that was recorded a full one year in advance of its release! We FINALLY get to the heart of Ty's PU'sTBFC presidency, and have a great game of Schonleyisms. Recor...
Nikki Bee/Nako-Bako is back again! She and Ryan are here for a monumental achievement: an episode of the pod that is LEGITIMATELY SHORTER than the album it's ostensibly reviewing - An Evening with Julian Bream. There are two great games - Tit for Tat, and Hey, Fred Schneider, What Are You Doing? - and two great jokes. Live every day like it's a year in the past! Recorded May 18, 2020.
It has been a WHILE since the Dazzler, the great Englishman Bob joined Ryan in the inner sanctum, but he's back for his fifth and final appearance to get real sing-songy, but not real lyrical with Graham Nash & David Crosby. There's good news on the 'rona, bad news for the members of the band, and a great game of Page 43. Recorded May 18, 2020.
Barb-Barb-Barb, Barb-Barbara Ann is here for her farewell appearance, alongside Ryan for CSNY's aptly-titled, So Far. There are deep ruminations on generational wisdom, the inability for folky protest music to quite hit like other genres, and the LITERAL MELTING of the pubescent brain. All that comes before a marathon game of Our House. Recorded May 17, 2020
Shawlonzo Mourning makes his final appearance alongside the Lil' Sand Scorpion for the 58th edition of the program, commemorating 58 years of friendship and the Dirty Ps' Lamp Lit Prose. They do some 69 Vinyl Records All-Stars brainstorming, play Cornfusion, and Ryan challenges Shawn to appear sometime in the final episodes. Will he make it?! Recorded May 17, 2020.
Please don't ruin this for me, listener! It's Anna's (at least) tenth appearance in one capacity or another on the pod, and she and Ryan are here to dive into the world of Tennis's Yours Conditionally. There's a gripe, a great game of Tennis, AND the origin of the game theme that you've been hearing lo these many months! Recorded May 15, 2020.
Guess who's back? It's Lester the Nightfly, AKA Cousin of the Pod, AKA Matt, for his fourth and farewell appearance. We wish the whole episode could be about Ramblin' Rod (and Chuck E. Cheese and the Pizza Time Players' pizza-themed Funkytown cover), but ultimately they do spend QUITE some time discussing The Beach Boys' Smile. Ryan invents an incredibly simple game for this episode called Adieu or Die - will it be as grueling as Matt/Ryan games of episodes past?
Wow - at this point, canonically, Luke and Snowy have only one Steely Dan record that they've already talked about! What a ride it's going to be! This week's Monday phone call revolves around Aja, quite possibly Ryan's fav SD album. Fulfilling the promise of episode 7, the boys recite some of their favorite segments from the one Aja documentary, which you can find on Youtube. The whole shebang wraps up with a round of So Outrageous! Recorded May 13, 2020.
Whoa - double up - whoa, whoa! Kate and Kristin are bringing Big Diva Energy to this episode of the pod, as they and Ryan spend some time with 1995's Daydream by Mariah Carey. Summer loves, first CDs, and of course The Mariah Carey Song Challenge make for a fantastic entry. Recorded May 12, 2020.
Happy Birthday to us! It's the anniversary episode, number 53, of this hallowed program, and five-timer Janell is here for more 69 Vinyl Records! This week she joins Ryan to get all groovy with our second Erykah Badu record, New Amerykah Pt. 2: Return of the Ankh. Ryan earns a new nickname; Janell wonders why in the WORLD people are trying to reopen their economies; the both of them duel honorably in Undercover Overlover. Recorded May 12, 2020.
They say things come in threes: apocryphal post-mortem appearances by J. Christ, or canonical appearances on this show! Passes is here to prove the rule with his farewell guest spot as he and Ryan talk about D'Angelo and the Vanguard Black Messiah. Can you believe an adolescent Passes bummed a cigarette aboard an airplane? Or that Ryan would miss a golden opportunity to say "Steely D'Angelo" ??! BELIEVE IT! Then enjoy The Charade. Recorded May 10, 2020.
Nak-Bak/Nikki Bee/Nako-Bako is BACK for another week of 69 Vinyl Records: The $150 Podcast. This time she and Ryan are all about this Hospitality record, Hospitality. Stick around to see which of these master's credentialed public servants more deserves A B.A. in English Literature, and a harrowing failed prediction regarding Ryan's place of work come March, 2021! Recorded May 9, 2020.
Coach Doobie is BACK for his second appearance! Mark joins Ryan to discuss all things foolish - beliefs, the survival of fools, what have you - as they dive into Minute by Minute by the Doobie Brothers. It's a great record for being out on the lake, for a long car ride, or to inspire a round of What a Fool Believes. Recorded May 9, 2020.
