On this episode we talk about our favorite releases of the year with Dan Osto of CT Scramble (and of the band All Riot). [Full disclosure: discovered a problem with Josh's microphone only after recording and did my best to recover his voice on the recording. We're getting there with the quality and it's certainly a NYE resolution to elevate it.]

The Redscroll Podcast is a monthly show (first of the month going forward) that works as a companion to what we do at Redscroll Records in Wallingford, CT USA. We are a record store that has a heavy emphasis on the left of center / underground music of the world. Whether it be underappreciated or just has a niche audience, marginalized or just off the radar it’s all of interest to us. With the show we’ll generally have a localized focus. We’ll discuss upcoming releases and what is in our personal rotation at the moment. We’ll talk about upcoming area musical activities. We’ll talk to guests who have to do with all of the above. And we’ll talk about specific dealings with the store. If you have input you’re welcome to contact us through email ([email protected]).

On this month's episode we once again quickly cover some things that each us (Rick & Josh) are listening to, go over new releases and list some upcoming shows in greater Connecticut.  We talk to Randy Larsen of Cable and Slowdeath (and various other projects) about a bunch of things that make him cranky and a few that don't.

In between talking to Randy at the beginning and end we talk to Al Oimet of The Pist, M-13 and The Deacons (and various other projects) about growing up a punk in CT who was highly influenced by David Bowie and the upcoming Pist gigs. 

We're still new so I'm going to repeat this introductory paragraph: The Redscroll Podcast is a monthly show (first of the month going forward) that works as a companion to what we do at Redscroll Records in Wallingford, CT USA.

We had some growing pains on Episode 2 here where it sounds like we're in space (some room sound reverb that new microphones I wasn't familiar with brought) so just think of it that way. I put some fun space-type bumpers on it to set the mood.

On this episode we talked to "the internet's busiest music nerd" Anthony Fantano of The Needle Drop. He recently flew past the million followers mark on his YouTube channel.  We talk about new music, his general goings-on including his 10 Year Anniversary tour and more!

The local 10 Year Ann. show is in Hamden at the Ballroom at the Outer Space on October 30th - event page is here.  About an hour in we talk to Kryssi Battalene from New Haven about her musical endeavors - focusing on the new Headroom album that comes out on October 20th (New Haven release show event page here).  We also talk a bit about touring with the Mountain Movers and snacks! We end the show by going over the upcoming shows in the CT area with Anthony and he figures out that we don't have a sign off and just kind of end the show.  

Rick and Josh talk about their heavy summer listening and some upcoming records they feel are of note. Ben Levesque of College Street Music Hall, Manic Presents & Premier Concerts is included in the initial conversation which includes his dealings with show production, promoting and all therein. The conversation veers in a few musical and personal story directions. 

The initial conversation is wrapped up with a list of upcoming Connecticut area shows with some editorial notes by Ben, Rick & Josh.

Stefan Christensen (formerly of Estrogen Highs) talks about his new solo record, his C/Site Recordings music label, the upcoming Headroom record, touring Europe and general goings on around all that as well as some veering off points of discussion concluding with a fun story about a nice hunch that led to a great record score. We conclude with a snipped of a song from his new record.
