Summary: Subscribe on iTunes<br> <br> Despite the episode's title, we've got another fun installment of The Modern Vinyl Podcast, as we cover topics like the new Aaron West album and Urban Outfitter's reputation amongst record collectors. Stick around for music from Dads, Park and Vasudeva (one of the musical hauls I've been most proud of) and for our sap stories of concerts we've missed out on (where that title does come from).<br> <br> Upcoming episodes will cover the full length albums from Bleachers and Anberlin, along with what Weezer could be planning with their upcoming LP.<br> <br> Sidenotes:<br> — I mention briefly that I've never really dug into Park's discography and the new EP would be a good starting point. That point remains, but man, I've been missing out on these guys. Catching up as we speak.<br> — We mess around with the pronunciation of our final band, Vasudeva. But after official confirmation, it is "VA-SOO-DE-VA," so I did in fact "knock it out of the park" on my final try there. Apologies if we butchered it at all before that.<br> — Also, I talk about the Sam Cooke contest we're running. Well, it's over now, but we had a great response to it so thank you.<br> — I had the kinda funny response of "Asia" while trying to name off a place that doesn't really do too much with Record Store Day, but of course there are some areas of that huge continent that celebrate it.
