  • EP 36: KISS ROUNDTABLE!

    The END OF THE ROAD is here...or so Kiss says. The tickets for the final leg of the (supposedly) final tour of Kiss' career go on sale Friday, and with that, Mike and Nick thought it would be appropriate to go through the bulk of Kiss' catalog, give a quick review of each album, and create a playlist of our favorites from each album...but we needed help... SO... we are happy to have RO KOHLI of (the appropriately named) WAR MACHINE MERCH and complete Kiss NERD to help us sum up 50 years of Kiss! We'll also talk about what's on our turntables, and of course our staple segments "DIS-Covered" and "THIS SONG SUCKS"!

  • EP 34: WHY VINYL? And how to care for your collection!

    Mike and Nick are back - even though we just came up with a topic last minute. Big shock there!!

    Anyways, tonight we will be talking about the question we music lovers get asked all the time - WHY VINYL??? Why vinyl over CD's, over streaming, over cassette, over 8 track, over MP3, FLAC, etc?? There are MANY reasons why we choose vinyl, and we'll go over all of that PLUS how to CARE for your vinyl collection - and a quick review of the (currently on sale) Pro-Ject VC-E Record cleaning machine.

    We also talk about the Super Bowl/Halftime show, new releases, and as always, our HOTTEST segments "Dis-Covered" and "This Song Sucks" - now with 100% more Steve Miller Band!
