As a precursor for the Quarantine Mixtape mini-series Glen and I discuss the art of making a mixtape and the choices between song placement, etc.

We also bring up and delve into Columbia House Music Club (it was around in the 90s) where one could order 10 cassettes for 1 penny and then have to purchase 5 more at an inflated 'regular' price...it was a great way to expand your collection.

We also bring up the chipmunks sounding 'high speed dubbing', trying to tape songs off the radio, top loading cassette recording devices and how the mixtape resurfaced in pop culture with Guardians of the Galaxy.

Great episode! Lots of fun.

Darci, Glen and I have a tremendous plan as far as how to kill some time during this government issued isolation :

Quarantine Mix Tape!!!

60 minutes (no going over, otherwise the song cuts off!), 30min a side...what would your mix tape be if you could only pick 60min of material to listen to for the rest of the quarantine??

Coming soon!!

"Selling out" is a common expression for the compromising of a person's integrity, morality, authenticity, or principles in exchange for personal gain, such as money. ... The term could also be used as 'sold out' depending on the context.

Glen and I discuss and break down some the most infamous turnings-of-the-tide of bands that ended up alienating their initial or "target audience", seemingly in a calculated business move in order to pursue the Almighty Dollar!!

It has been well-documented Matthew Good is one of, if not THE, favourite artist of both Glen and myself ..and here we have a chance to give our first impressions of his new album 'Moving Walls' !

We are attending his solo acoustic show - coming to the Jubilee Auditorium here in Edmonton, Canada..April 1st.

We'll "Part 2" this episode with a show review!

Glen is BACK!! .and he's brought his 2nd #honourablemention : Corrosion of Conformity's 1994 LP - 'Deliverance'!!

We talk CoC's hardcore roots and beginnings and how they morphed into a sludgy stoner-rock band through the 90's...how bassist/vocalist Pepper Keenan was rumoured to have joined Metallica around the St.Anger timeframe (yes, another St.Anger reference on the show haha).

Good pick, good episode!!

Well here we are : Josh is officially our 4th person to complete the #10Albums list!!

He is clearly torn with WHICH Nick Cave album to pick...we bring up Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds "alias" Grinderman (which is an amazing album in its own right).

But..in classic #10Albums form Josh sticks to the album that means most to him - there is the complete package for his choice : attending a live concert that supported the album; the album also helped Josh through the grief of his dog (Sinopa) passing away after 14 years of friendship.

Thanks for contributing Josh!
