“Random Vinyl, Two Bourbons, & Other Delights (Part 1)”
What happens when Byron invites a surprise guest to the studio with both of their old vinyl LP collections (& of course medicinal beverages on hand)? The title of this episode should say it all! Ok…no surprise, Byron’s guest is Johnny Mohawk & this becomes an all out “rant” session! They set out to defend the merits of old school vinyl LPs vs. the modern era of mp3’s, digital downloading, & generic pop culture icons (do we hear the initials “J.B.” here?)! Along the way Byron becomes increasingly dubious of Johnny’s reputation as a hardcore punker as the discussion progresses & as the beverages flow. Byron decided to make this episode a trilogy due to the overall length…and also as a cheap way to get more Gunkcast episodes out of it in a short time! To start things off on the right foot these blokes do a live studio jam of a cover of Johnny’s all time favorite band (which may include some family ties). The episode also concludes with yet another outstanding cover tune by the band The Basement Lights (out of Knoxville, TN). Also tune in for a special exclusive preview of a certain much hyped upcoming Gunkcast episode as well! The 2nd installment of the “Vinyl Rant Trilogy” will be released very soon. Cheers!
