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.

  • Record #36: Beethoven's Sixth Symphony (Pastorale)

    Record #36: Beethoven's Sixth Symphony (Pastorale)
    Feb 20 2026

    It's highbrow time at Record Collecting HQ! I discuss the life and times of one Ludwig van Beethoven (the famous grandson, not the grandfather), talk about the shift from the eighteenth century, full of Reason and the Classical Era, and the nineteenth century, which ushered in the dawn of Romanticism. I talk tinnitus and fear of heights, as well as getting back on my soapbox to bitch about the vagaries of classification.

    Single #3: Girl from Ipanema Goes to Greenland
    Feb 13 2026

    Let's dance this mess around! I tackle our first 12" single here at Record Collecting HQ, with four versions of the Girl from Ipanema Goes to Greenland. While the song is fun, the story behind the scenes is much less so. I pop off about Reagan, particularly re: the AIDS crisis.

  • Record #35: Lexicon of Love

    Record #35: Lexicon of Love
    Feb 8 2026

    A bit tardy to the party, as I get back into the rhythm of regular recording again. We have a great slice of early 80s new wave, ABC's Lexicon of Love. I talk about hooks, lyrics, early music videos, Bravo reality stars, and much more!

    Note: I apologize in advance--I was too lazy to drag out my pop filter, and my plosives and aspirations are out of control.
