The Modern Vinyl Podcast

The newest episode of The MV Podcast has us focused on the 2015 release from The Front Bottoms, Back On Top. We missed it back in September at initial release, so we decided to make up for it as we wrap up 2015. We introduce a new B-side at the 55 minute mark, one that has us paying tribute to Denny's pop culture menus. And we finish out the episode with some great music from Pentimento. Coming up we have an interview with Foxing and our podcast year-end special.
