Vinyl Rhetoric

Episode 228: Paul Simon / Graceland (Side 2)

This is side 2 of Heather's 3rd island album.  Kingcow has this album in his collection and really enjoyed it.  This is a great choice for the album.  Enjoy rhetoricians!  Hope you had a great 4th.

Episode 227: Nickel Creek / Nickel Creek

This was the third album from this group.  Playing Bluegrass and Americana, this trio has a unique sound.  The Panda was introduced to them in high school.  A very mellow sound. 

Episode 226: Paul Simon / Graceland

This is the seventh solo album from Paul Simon.  It is considered some of his best work.  It is a 1986 release.  The album itself is very diverse and intriguing.  Kingcow really enjoyed it when he got it.  Heather really liked it and is taking it to the island.

Episode 224: John Waite / No Brakes

This 1984 release is the second solo album from John Waite.  Way back in Episode 10 Kingcow played The Babys album, Anthology, which featured Waite as the lead vocalist.  This is a really nice album.  Enjoy!

Episode 225: Berlin Philharmonic / Mozart's Requiem in D Minor K626 (Side 4)

This is the final side of Heather's second island album.  This was fun going through with her.  Remember to let us know which five albums you would bring to the island.  Enjoy!

Episode 222: Rick James / Street Songs

This is the fifth album from Rick James.  Kingcow discovered him in the dance clubs.  James brings a nice funk with a hint of humor and reality.  If you want to get freaky, pick this album up!

Episode 223: John Cougar / American Fool

This break-through album by John Cougar was his fifth.  Crafty DM played side two and Kingcow really enjoyed the memories it brought back. 

Episode 221: Various / Heavy Metal Soundtrack

This is Side Two of the soundtrack.  Crafty DM and Kingcow both enjoyed this movie.  Surprising to Kingcow, Crafty DM knew what scene the music was for.  Outstanding. 

Episode 219: The Pretenders / Learning To Crawl

This is the third album from The Pretenders.  Released in 1984, Kingcow had many fond memories of this disc.  Discussed with The Panda, she really breaks this record down.  Enjoy Rhetoricians!

Episode 220: Berlin Philharmonic / Mozart's Requiem in D Minor K626 (Side 3)

This is side 3 of Heather's 2nd island album.  This is a nice side.  Unfortunately, we don't understand Latin so feel we are missing a great deal.  Oh well, as we mentioned, we might eventually learn it.  Enjoy Rhetoricians!
