Hey folks, Random Old Records Podcast is still here after thirteen years. Still using other people's words to tell my own story. Still listening to all of the music to find the gems. Still wearing a mask, still not leaving my house. I must be doing something right, because EPISODE #95 is one of the best things I've ever done!

This time around, you'll hear lots of acoustic guitars and big harmonies. You'll hear si...

It feels like I've listened to a hundred albums in the past month looking for inspiration, and EPISODE #94 of Random Old Records is the result of all those hours logged under the headphones and between the speakers. This is a fun one, so let's dig in!

You'll hear everything from hardcore punk classics to modern twists on punk to blissed-out pop to stomping grunge-era guitar noise to jangle to soul and everything ...

The windows are open, the sun is shining on my street, and the music is flowing out of my stereo speakers and into the sky. It's that time of the month, and EPISODE #93 of Random Old Records is here with some free and easy sounds to soundtrack your days and nights.

The first thing you'll hear are country-rock classics from Judee Sill and Dillard and Clark, then we move on to some killer new jams from Oceanator, D...

Spring has sprung, and all I wanna do is listen to music! EPISODE #92 of Random Old Records continues the vintage punk rock thread of last episode, along with some jingle, some jangle and some plain ol' rock n' roll. Let's get into it!

This time around, you'll hear stone-cold classics from the Circle Jerks and Uniform Choice, underrated 90s pop-punk from Bum and the Bomb Bassets, a stack of boppers from the ...

OK, so 2021 started and I somehow became obsessed with 90s punk rock again. It's pretty intense, probably the most obsessed I've been since well, the 90s. EPISODE #91 of Random Old Records is filled with classics and sleepers from the last decade of the 20th century, plus a whole lot more.

You'll hear Bikini Kill, Tilt, Propagandhi, the Fastbacks, and Pennywise. You'll also hear garage rock and psychedelic classi...

Right under the wire, here's one more podcast for this blessed and cursed year of 2020. EPISODE #90 of Random Old Records is mostly new jams this time, with a few old favorites sprinkled in here and there. It goes all over the place! If you're into snapping electronic percussion, unexpected sax solos, uninhibited crooning, pronounced accents, and way too many power chords, this is the episode for you!

I am a huge...

Like a lot of people, I haven't left my house much for the last seven months. I've spent a lot of time with headphones on, trying to find the dreamiest music possible to escape into and pass the time. EPISODE #88 is crammed full of distorted guitars, piercing synths, vocal histrionics, and meditations on lives both small and large.

In this hour, you will hear classics from Lone Justice, The Soup Dragons, and Beverly, bran...

2020, am I right?! The longest year in recorded human history is rolling on and on and so is Random Old Records. EPISODE #87 doesn't really have a theme or a point, other than containing 20 of the best songs I've heard in the past 30 days. So...let's dig in and let's get it on!

It all kicks off with a rare blast of horn-driven proto-punk from The Rats, then winds its way through classic garage rock and punk from The Pagans, Th...

So I've been mostly housebound for the last four months with plenty of free time. Luckily, while most of life has been on pause, the torrent of incredible music continues unchecked. I've been filling my head with jams of all eras, both new and new to me, and EPISODE #85 of Random Old Records is just a small sample of the musical riches that can be found with a little bit of digging.

If you've been listening to Random Old Records for awhile, you'll know that weather and the seasons are one of the primary inspirations behind the music on the show. Well it's hot and hazy here in Ohio, so naturally EPISODE #84 is laid back and easy going to help beat back the sweat and the steam of summer in the city.

You will hear pub rock classics from Ducks Deluxe and Brinsley Schwarz, country-tinged obscurities by Twin En...

Dreams, dreaming, and dreamy music is the order of the day. Everything is transforming and reality is realer than ever, and I find myself closing my eyes and dreaming of dinner at my favorite restaurant, a quick browse at the record store, and a stop at the Creamy Whip on the way home. EPISODE #83 of Random Old Records Podcast might not include any Moby Grape this time around, but it's still filled with music dedicated to ...

You know what? Music is the best. Not only that, but music is still the best and will continue to be the best no matter how awful things might seem. I've felt just about as helpless as most of you probably feel right now and I can't change the world, but I can sure as hell play a little music for everyone. EPISODE #82 of Random Old Records Podcast is a 58 minute and 19 second blast of fun punk rock escapism for all of the kids...

Winter is rolling on and I can't believe another month has already passed. January brought my 40th birthday, and now it's time for EPISODE #80 of Random Old Records Podcast. Thanks for checking in, I think this one is something great, so let's not waste time!

Happy 2020! I got married in 2019 which was pretty incredible, but otherwise the year was mighty rough in all sorts of ways for all sorts of people. Luckily, music continues to be amazing and it always seems to be there to lift everyone back up when they need it the most. EPISODE #79 of Random Old Records Podcast is here to start off the new year right with an hour of that sweet, sweet musical nectar!

2019 is nearly over, and I don't feel like doing a best of the year playlist, so I figured the next best thing to do would be to go back in time! EPISODE #78 is the annual 5/10/15/20 episode of Random Old Records, which surveys the best or most interesting music from 5, 10, 15, and 20 years ago.

Hey folks I'm back! EPISODE #76 of Random Old Records is a soundtrack for this strange and unsettling summer. It doesn't make a lot of sense but there's plenty of good stuff to keep you entertained and keep you thinking, at least I hope so!
