“Vinyl Rant (Part 2)”
The talk of all things vinyl continues (as well as the flow of medicinal beverages). The view of old school vinyl LPs as “eye candy” is stressed…as opposed to what we have in the current day & age. Byron taps into his inner love of 80’s music and gets his New Wave freak on (& to Johnny Mohawk’s slight dismay)! Also, Byron tries to impress Johnny with LPs which do “not” boast “gatefold sleeves.” But this is not an easy task as Johnny belittles some of Byron’s re-issued & generic-cutout LPs. However, Byron does save face with many of his authentic original (and some out of print) vinyl rarities as well as bootlegs! 45’s get a mention…at which point Johnny manages to get himself “bleeped” (a first for any Gunkcast)! Then Byron pulls out the “Little Creatures” LP from Talking Heads & Johnny’s reaction may truly surprise all! But perhaps most shocking of anything in this episode is the unabashed attempt to expose a certain beloved cult classic 80’s tune as a big rip-off!!! Ohhh we love the song in question too…but the evidence presented may just raise some questions!
The “Vinyl Rant Trilogy” will conclude with Part# 3 coming very soon! Cheers!
