In a now proud IBT tradition, co-host Jeremy brings a New Age album. This time he has selected a 1981 release by Japanese composer, arranger, and producer Kitarō. Known for his electronic instrumental music, we sample his sound as we learn his fascinating story.  

Happy Halloween! Bob Bucko Jr joins us to discuss a split release between experimental New Zealand trio the Dead C and American supergroup Rangda. This 2013 release contains tracks from the vault of both bands and is one of the more challenging releases we've ever featured on the podcast.  

Co-host Peter selects a 1990 album by the elusive UK band Jellyfish Kiss. In lieu of there being much readily available information on this artist, we instead shift our focus to  its producer, Kramer, and the label, Shimmy-Disc.  

Co-host Jeremy brings us the most recent album we've ever covered on the podcast: the 2011 release, Tim Cohen's Magic Trick. Cohen is a highly prolific fixture of the indie circuit in the Bay Area. Join us as we learn about him and hear a small sampling of his work. 

We kickoff season 7 with a 2010 release from accomplished yet unconventional American musician Baby Dee. A rerecording of an earlier album, this version reached a much wider audience, thanks in no small part to being released on the renowned Drag City label.  

Co-host Sean selects our episode on bossa nova legend Sérgio Mendes for his ReWind. Mendes passed away in 2024 at the age of 83.  

Co-host Jeremy brings us his ReWind, with some updated information on a cappella group the Persuasions in his intro.

On our first ReWind of the season break, co-host Peter takes us back to early 2021 when the classic trio covered this live album by none other than the Temptations.  

We unlocked a Bonus Episode from our Patreon in which co-host Peter details the process of releasing a split 7" with his former band Boring People and the Chicago band Regular Fucked Up People.  

Our final episode of Season 6 fulfills our impromptu promise at the start of the season. We listen to selections from the soundtrack to the Saturday Night Fever sequel, Staying Alive, while also discussing the corresponding film. Guests Mark T. Weathersby and Taylor Rowley join us to celebrate the campiness.
