About this listen

 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.

    Single #8: Come and Get It/Rock of All Ages
    Apr 10 2026

    When are The Beatles not The Beatles? The answer this week is when they're Badfinger. Before they were a rock and roll cautionary tale about scummy managers, they were a band from Wales with a Liverpool connection when they were brought into the Beatles' orbit. This single, at least the A-side is pretty Beatlesque, which is not surprising, as it was written and produced by Paul McCartney.

    Record #39: Friend or Foe
    Apr 3 2026

    Back in 1982, I wanted my MTV, and certainly one reason was this episode's artist, Adam Ant. I dive into his solo debut, Friend or Foe, talk about art school and New Wave, Punk Rock icon Jordan, and muse on the shelf life of songs in the internet era.

    Record #38: One Hand Clapping (pt. 2) and Singles #6 and #7: Hi Hi Hi/C Moon and Helen Wheels/Country Dreamer
    Mar 27 2026

    Before I finish off One Hand Clapping, I take a brief interlude to discuss a couple of singles from Wings: Hi Hi Hi/C Moon and Helen Wheels/Country Dreamer. Because all four songs are also handled elsewhere, I skim the surface and compare and contrast versions. Then it's onto side four and the bonus EP. There's a mini rant about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a request for a couple of bags of cement, and a little light armchair psychology.
