Summary

 It turns out that while streaming music is incredibly convenient, it’s not as fun as sorting through bins at a thrift store. Join me as I wander through thrift stores, record stores, garage sales, and yes, even the internet. Recreating a record collection one surprise at a time.

    Record #41: McCartney II (1980 copy)
    May 1 2026

    Is this Paul McCartney's most divisive album? Probably. While other albums might be less loved, few are more hated. I dig its weirdness. I talk about ambivalence, experimentation, and the inadvisability of bringing a big ol' bag o' weed into Japan. I also present my lukewarmest of lukewarm Beatles takes.

    Single #9: Back off Boogaloo/Blindman

    It's Ringo! This time, Ringo, after hanging out with Marc Bolan, goes a little glam with Back off Boogaloo. Is it a diss track? If it is, while Ringo wouldn't have been alone in being baffled by Ram, saying so in the press (and that it didn't have any good songs on it) was perhaps a little rich. The B-side was Ringo's stab at writing a theme song for a spaghetti western that he was in. Ringo's 70s were action packed, and we're not even touching on the Hollywood Vampires!

    Record #40: Arena
    Apr 17 2026

    Grab your tickets, folks! It's a live album! Duran Duran came to my city in 1984, and I was champing at the bit to go. Alas, I did not receive parental permission (being only 13 and those being different times). I work through my disappointment, discuss the importance of MTV in breaking Duran Duran in the US, and more!
