The Modern Vinyl Podcast

In honor of hitting episode 182 of The Modern Vinyl Podcast, the crew talks blink-182 and more specifically attack this question: Since untitled is clearly their peak, what's the band's second best album? In this conversation we also talk the band's more controversial early work, how we should look at that work, and much more. It's the blink-182 dissection you sorely need in a week where Brand New released the most anticipated album in the punk scene from the past 5+ years.

On today's episode, we co-opt the long-running Modern Vinyl feature "Please Press" for some video game soundtrack talk (10:31). Mike talks a legendary RPG, James is a Nintendo kid, while Chris brings up a strange soundtrack to an iconic platformer. Side B (57:23) is prep for a future edition of "We Missed It!"

The newest edition of 3 Up/3 Down has us talking "Baby Driver" and Soundcloud, along with our show's baffling lack of sensual fan art.

On today's episode of The Modern Vinyl Podcast, Chris and Mike force James to give Arcade Fire a chance (15:38). Creating a playlist that spans the band's discography (and more), Chris talks themes across the band's career, Mike talks his love of "Neon Bible," and James mostly just tolerates us. Will we turn him to the side of the extended Butler family? Only one way to find out. We finish out with some "6 Degrees Of Mark Hoppus" on the B-side (1:04:11).

Our newest episode features a conversation with Trevor Sensor, who recently released the full length album, "Andy Warhol's Dream," through Jagjaguwar. We discuss that record, along with his love of reading and David Lynch, plus how he's handled press in this debut LP. 

Today's episode features our discussion with Zachary Tipton, founder of Vinylize. The vinyl eyewear company (https://vinylize.com/) has quite the interesting history, while new developments related to RSD, their physical display room, and clear vinyl frames moved us up to present day. And we finished with some Quickfire! Loved this discussion. 

On episode 176 of The Modern Vinyl Podcast, we talk "Planetarium." The new album features Sufjan Stevens and friends (very talented friends, like from The National and such), while we discuss the album's history, its use of ancient gods and astrology, along with much more. The B-side poses the question: what musicians would we want to see join forces for a project? 

On episode 175, we talk Bleachers' new full length album, "Gone Now" (11:36). Bouncing between the lyrics, varying producers, and our individual histories with Jack Antonoff, we attempt to break down some conflicted feelings. Side B (56:00) uses Antonoff's bedroom promotion to talk weird album promos we've liked over the years.
