BJ gets some help from special guest Jayson Kohl (aka Eggman) this week as they take a look at an odd collective of bands that arose out of Germany in the late sixties making some very strange sounds that came to be known as Krautrock.

This is the podcast you have heard about.This is the podcast you have read about.Soon you will be talking about the podcasting shock of the year: TWO MINUTE WARNING. On this episode BJ plays 50 songs that are each less than two minutes in length. After that...sudden death.

Since this is episode 74 of the podcast BJ decided to take a look at his own personal top ten favorite albums that were released in the corresponding year of 1974.

BJ is joined by special guest Chris Grey, co-owner of Cheapkiss Records, who was gracious enough to share with us his vast collection of regional radio station compilations from the early eighties. BJ and Chris discuss the obsessive nature of record collecting and then you'll get to hear a bunch of cool songs by local, unsigned bands from those radio station comps.

I simply could not devote an episode of the podcast to Rod Stewart without also acknowledging the brilliance of his former bandmate Ronnie Lane. Enjoy this bonus episode.

BJ closely examines the first ten years or so of a storied career. Rod Stewart played a pretty major role in the development of rock and roll before he forsook his artistry (and the guy was a true artist) for the pomp and circumstance of pomp and circumstance. If you are unfamiliar with Rod's early work, solo and with the Faces, prepare to be impressed.

It's time for Pods and/or Roll as BJ is joined by Craig Smith and Eric Miller from the Pods & Sods podcast for a revelatory discussion about songs each of them likes that people more prone to shame and/or embarrassment would perhaps hesitate to admit to liking but the theme of this episode is "no shame" and absolutely none is felt.

Since this is episode number seventy BJ decided to take a look at his own personal top ten favorite albums that were released in the corresponding year of 1970.

It's Shabby and/or Road! BJ is joined by Ryan McKay and A.D. Adams from a great podcast called The Shabby Road Record Show and together they turn the idea of the "Sophomore Slump" on its head by discussing bands' second albums which they think were better than the debut.

BJ plays too many of his favorite "new wave" songs but he wanted to play a lot more.
