The Vinyl Playground Podcast

Fast recollection of the afterglow following my first kiss, freshman year high shcool, 1984. It was a doozy - and part of me is still "stuck on stupid." Cheers!

Episode 4: The Crest of a New Wave. I recount, recall, and remember some of the first "new" music I heard via radio and television in 1979 - 1981. This included music by Blondie, Elvis Costello & The Attractions, The Police, and Pretenders. 

The Vinyl Playground Podcast takes a look at a rather large collection of records, my family's record collection. 12 record collectors under the same roof, and the music we collectively bought between 1936 and 1987.

1982. Age 13. Junior high school. Teenage love. Friendship, and betrayal. Acne, and more record money for vinyl LPs. It's a story as old as time - love "short circuits" the brain of young man. The musical soundscape of the times included songs by J. Geils Band; Human League, The Righteous Brothers, Patti Austin (with James Ingram); The Who; The Isley Brothers, The Undisputed Truth; Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers; and Steve Miller Band. Music does, indeed, "save." Cheers.

Summer, 1978. Age 9. My family movies, and I get my first glimpse of "it" - the family record collection. At the time, it was 42 years worth of collecting. Be prepared to share memories and my varied musical soundscape of the times: songs by Frankie Valli, Gerry Rafferty; Tower of Power, The Beach Boys; Lambert, Hendricks and Ross, Chicago and Santana. Music does indeed "save." Cheers.
