Vinyl Rhetoric

This is the 1986 debut album from Pet Shop Boys.  Kingcow remembers when it came out and did enjoy it.  Heather hadn't heard any of the songs, but surprisingly, did guess their name.  Enjoy this one, Rhetoricians!

Way back in September, 2019, Heather requested that this album be played.  Now she is a host on the show and her OCD prevented her from playing something new.  This band has a sound that appeals to Kingcow.  Hopefully, you enjoy as well.

Kingcow brought this awesome album for Heather to listen to.  This album was released in 1976 and still sounds crisp today.  This is representative of ELO's distinctive sound and is a big reason why Kingcow enjoys them so much.

This is the third album from The Go-Go's.  While not well received, Kingcow really enjoyed this one.  Their sound is distinct and iconic.  One of the '80's most successful acts.  This is a good disc!

This 1984 EP is a gem.  Robert Plant put together a group to play '50's standards.  The musicians on this project include Led Zeppelin mate Jimmy Page, ex-Yardbird, Jeff Beck and Late Night with David Letterman bandleader, Paul Shaffer.  Enjoy, Rhetoricians!

Heather plays the second side of The Goon Show, Goon Again.  This classic BBC radio show this time takes on the Scots.  Be warned and enjoy!

Once again The Crafty DM surprises Kingcow with his musical choice.  Today's episode is the debut album of Danish pop group, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour.  You're in for an interesting ride on this one.  With elements of pop, techno and acid jazz (whatever that is) it is an eclectic sound.  Enjoy, Rhetoricians!

WE'RE BACK!  Finally!!  Heather brought this album.  Her dad would listen to it with her and recite lines and laugh all the time.  It's a recording of a BBC radio show.  It stars Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers.  Be warned it has some racial humor from almost 70 years ago. 

Sadly, another legend passed away.  Michael Aday, better known as "Meat Loaf" died on January 20, 2022.  Kingcow and Heather discuss his life.  Kingcow remembered that he had seen Meat Loaf in 1994.  This is a great album and well worth picking up.  It came out in 1993.  R.I.P. Meat Loaf R.I.P.

Kingcow played side 1 of this 1979 release for Heather.  Instead of trying to separate all the songs he just played the whole side at once.  This is Queen's first live album and their first to be mixed at their own studios.  Enjoy this one!
