Razorcake Podcast #208

Summary: Picking records to play on a podcast is fucked! Should I play all my pals' bands to be cool? Do I try and find the most obscure shit that makes me seem hip and relevant? Hell, I could have taken the payola from Adam Alive and played a whole set of “It's Alive Records” crap. But the allure of an Adam blowjob has lost all the zing. Last time I had one from him, he didn't even cry once during the whole process. Looking at my vinyl, I decided to bring out some records that inspired me to play music as well as got me into this punk called rock. The process of picking fifteen records or so was also a tedious task. I like to say that I am really into power pop from the ‘70s and early ‘80s and I felt like I had abandoned my roots as I pulled out some of these oldies and blew dust off each cover. A few of these licorice pizzas haven't been spun in years. It really brought me back listening to them and picking what tunes I would play. My only problem with this was sharing the limelight with a gal who claims Bruce Springsteen is the voice of his generation (Christina) and a known terrorist (Donna) I know that I am on some friggin' list because of this. There goes my easy through the airport security white male ticket I used to have. It's worthless now..... The good that came from all this was that I was able bring the bad out of Todd. I have high hopes you people will see now him for the racist he really is. Bless his big bigoted heart. -Matt Phuzz To download the file to your computer, right click the link below and select "save target as..."
