"I'M A BOOTLEGGER!" George Costanza from Seinfeld

We know. It's not lyrics from a song. It's a quote from a TV show. It works. We're leaving it.

Come join Chris and Matt this episode where they follow the trail from Uruguay to the Trademark of Quality to Lars Ulrich to What's Happening!! to Micro-cassette recorders and how it all unravels into the history, legality, cons, pros, and their personal experiences and opinions on bootleg and counterfeit recordings. It is a long strange trip...

It's our first attempt at a history lesson/discussion episode, so there's no Spotify playlist to speak of for this episode. I will tell you that the Stray Cats have a new live album, Rocked This Town: From LA To London, that releases on 09/11/20, so you should probably go check that out. Seriously. You should go listen. We will.

"If you've been trying for years, we've already heard your song." Death or Glory by The Clash

Okay, that's kind of a stretch in trying to quote a song lyric concerning songs as covered by other artists, but it's the best we've got.

Come join Chris and Matt this episode as they discuss Chris being a pretentious asshole, elevator music, used CDs, heresy, the Manson family, and a whole list of other topics concerning their favorite songs as covered by other artists. It's a gas, gas, gas.

"You win some, lose some, all the same to me." -Ace of Spades by Motörhead

We've already given up on inspiring and informative introductions to podcast episodes, so now you're gonna see nothing but song lyrics that may or may not pertain to the episode you're listening to. It's a music based podcast afterall, and seriously, are you really going to complain about Motörhead lyrics?

In episode 003 of the Audio Arcana Podcast, come join Chris and Matt as they discuss their tales of woe, triumph, pennies, and the ridiculous lengths they've gone to while collecting music over the years. It's a sad state of affairs.

No Spotify playlist for this episode, as there isn't more than a handful of quick mentions about artists and albums. 

"Evolution is a process too slow to save my soul." -Manimal by The Germs We tried to come up with an insightful statement concerning the growth and development of the individual over the course of their own personal tragedies, tribulations, and triumphs. You know, the kind of crap you find in a Mother's Day card. Instead, we just decided to go with a quote from a Germs song. It's for the best. Come join Chris and Matt as they discuss their musical development over the years and the five albums that shaped their musical evolution.
