  • 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 #9: Rubber Soul (US)
    Jan 10 2025

    Unable to cheat, as I only have one vinyl copy of Rubber Soul (at least, until a Super Deluxe edition is released *fingers crossed*), so I managed to keep this at 30 minutes. I discuss this, the Coke Zero of Rubber Souls, as well as more evidence for my "genres are bullshit" rant, a hot take about Paul McCartney, how the album opener has disproportionate influence on the overall vibe of an album, and more speculative fiction about the musical tastes of Patty Hickey.

    Record #7: Meet the Beatles (part 1)
    Dec 27 2024

    Fortuitous timing! This episode coincides with a holiday-time burst of Beatles content. I've split this into two parts: this part focuses on my original 1964 copy of Meet the Beatles, why US fans had different albums, and how training for a marathon led me to deepen my knowledge of the early Beatles catalog.
