Sounds On Vinyl

Just a quick update on what's going on with the Sounds On Vinyl show. Lots of cool stuff in store for season 4, in fact, we've already recorded a couple of interviews that you're gonna absolutely love. 

Thanks for your support. It means a lot to us. 

See you on August 5th! Have a great summer.

Every record has two sides, and this is the B-Side show. Instead of dead air in between seasons, we decided to do something special. You could call it a show within a show where we sit around and drink from the horns while we introduce you to some music you probably haven't heard before.

This week it's a band called The OhNos from Malmo Sweden. Anna and Asa stopped by to talk about the band, their influences, their favorite place to play, and their forthcoming album. They also reveal what the band was almost called. 

Songs Played:

• For Free  (7:33)
• Fake It (15:51)
• In the Basement (Live) (23:18)
• Dirty Panties (31:52)

This week we talk about the records we listen to when we're in a certain mood - pissed off, need a reset, need an energy boost.  And, we get a bit sidetracked with the Blues Brothers movie, because, well, it's epic. 

Also, we talk about something really cool we're doing in between Season 3 and 4, so listen to the end to hear all about it. 

As always, thanks for listening and your support.

This week we sit down with Søren Genefke who wrote the premiere book on everything vinyl called Alt Om Vinyl. We talk about how his book came to be, who he got to meet while writing the book and some cool experiences while researching the book. He also shares some of his favorite records, including ones he'd love to get his hands on.

This week we sit down with guitar legend Janne Schaffer, who played with ABBA and Bob Marley. He tells stories about his career, including the first days when ABBA formed, working with the Porcaro family (who was forming Toto at the time), and many more. 

Thanks for listening and support of the show. It means a lot to us.

This week Jesse James Freeman, author of the Billy Purgatory series joins us to chat about the collection he inherited from his dad. He shares the gems and the memories of listening to them as a kid, and the nostalgia and joy it brings him when he listens today. 

This week we sit down with Chips Kiesbye from the band Sator. We chat about how listening to punk in the early days influenced his playing, the records he would never part with and what it was like hearing his music on the radio for the first time.

Hey Hey, this week we are diving into what we think are the Top 10 Best Live Albums. This was a fun one, but also a creepy one. 

Before we started recording, we talked about the death of Entombed singer Lars-Göran Petrov. During the conversation, Phil began to smell cigarette smoke, which is not possible since his studio is sealed with no exterior walls or windows where smoke can drift in. As you may know, Lars was a smoker. Right after the smell began to go away, MIke's audio got all distorted. For a good solid minute, it sounded like a disembodied robot from another world. 

Once things settled down, we began recording the show. Everything went as it usually does, except when Phil began editing it. At the 11:23 mark, you hear a click and a muffled/muted voice right before Phil starts talking. Neither of us heard this during the live recording. This EVP was recorded on Phil's track, and it was not Phil, so it looks like we had a special guest with us during the show. 

Getting back to the show, here are the runners-up. Let us know what your favorite live albums are. 

1. Metallica – Live Shit Binge & Purge
2. Scorpions - World Wide Live
3. Deep Purple - Made in Europe
   

Thanks for listening and support of the show. It means a lot to us.

This week we dive into the debate of which is better - vinyl or CD.  We also play brand new music from... well, it's a surprise so listen to the very end to hear a song before anybody else! 

Heard On The Show

Hey Hey, this week we have a great time telling stories and sharing memories with Björn Höglund from the bands Therion, Easy Action, and Hoven Droven. Björn tells us what record he would never give up, and one that he can't wait to have in his collection. 

This episode marks a huge milestone for us or any podcast for that matter. This is our 50th Episode and we're celebrating with going behind the scenes of how Sounds On Vinyl came to be, the best and the worst, the jokes and we have not one, but two picks of the week! Woo Hoo! 

PICKS OF THE WEEK

Åskväder with their song "Nothing To Lose"
PIGG - with their song "Too Damn Loud" 

Mentioned on the show:

We talked about all the bands we've had on the show - Liar Thief Bandit, The OhNos, Dead Sleep, Aldrovanda, Flegma, Cim Dahle  & The Damage Done, Acid’s Trip, The Demtones, Marble Mammoth, and The South Society!

This week we have a special guest with us. Bjorn Strid from the bands Soilwork and Night Flight Orchestra joins us to talk about his vinyl collection, how he got started listening to music, his inspirations, and more. 

Mentioned On The Show:

This week we have a little fun and dive into our Top 10 Records from the 80s. We each approached this list from different perspectives, but between the two lists, we have a hell of a soundtrack to life in the 80s, at least if you're into hard rock and metal. 

We also play brand new music from The South Society, with their song "Awake". 

Mentions from the Show:

This week, Mike Jacobson from the band Liar Thief Bandit sits down with Mike and Phil to discuss how he went from CD's, to MP3's and then to vinyl. We'll find out which record was his first purchase, the band that influenced him to start playing music, and we'll also hear Liar Thief Bandit's new song,  "Catch And Release". 

This week, Chris Laney (Pretty Maids, At The Movies) sits down with Mike and Phil to discuss his vinyl collection, listening to music, getting started playing music, and what he's working on right now.  We get into his massive Kiss collection, the one record in his collection he will never give up, and his first band, which he joined at the ripe old age of around 12 years old. 

This week, we talk about getting the right turntables and speakers.  We also have music from the Oh Nos. 

In the Season One Finale of Sounds On Vinyl, we dive into Iron Maiden's Brave New World record, which featured the return of Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith.

This week we honor Bob Kulick - the man who isn't a household name, but who's musical contributions will not be forgotten.

RIP Bob. Thanks for the music and the memories. \m/

This week is a special week. We honor the King of Rock n Roll, Ronnie James Dio (and yes, Mike has officially declared that RJD take the title away from Elvis). We talk about the newly released and remastered records as well as the legacy that is the man, the myth, the legend - Ronnie James Dio.

This week we dive into Dokken's Back For The Attack. In addition to the record, we head down a few rabbit holes like metal being in TV shows and movies, commercials, and Dio.

This week we travel back to the '80s for Ratt's Invasion Of Your Privacy album. We also chat about the scene in Hollywood in the early '80s, and how it changed music.

This week we head back to 1989 to showcase a metal band that we feel is a bit underrated - Testament. Their third record, "Practice What You Preach" was one of the greatest thrash metal records in the late '80s.

We also talk a little bit about the thrash scene, Metallica (well, Phil picks on the Black album) and some of the cool stuff Mike found record hunting over the past weekend.

This week we, well... we talk about Megadeth's Rust in Peace. A little. It's really more about Dave Mustaine.

Released in 1976 pretty much everywhere except the US, AC/DC released their 3rd album, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

The US would have to wait until 1981, a year after lead singer Bon Scott’s death.

To this day, it remains a mystery why it wasn’t released in 1976 with the rest of the world.

Tonight, we go back to 1991 for a no holds barred discussion on Metallica's "Black Album". This was a fun one and we hope you enjoy it.

Thirty-Six years ago this month, a record was released that featured the lead singer wearing clown-like makeup and tattered clothes holding a raw meaty bone.

Of course, this week we’re talking about Twisted Sister’s Stay Hungry record, which is multi-platinum with over 3M sales.
