  • Young listener

    Always had a love for 1960’s garage rock. In my tweens I was into doo wop and rockabilly, in the army I listened to that and 60’s music. I will continue to be a listener. Even though Phil Grey had a weird obsession with Trump. Is there no other modern politicians that he can have voiced on the show?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ep. 749 - Killer 60s Garage Reissues with Hyperloop Records!
Q: What have been some of the biggest licensing hurdles you've faced, and how have you overcome them?
Licensing can be tough when original masters and rights holders aren't easy to locate; direct outreach, persistence, and using archival contacts (including artists or their families) have helped secure permissions and sometimes alter B-sides to satisfy radio requirements.
ep. 749 - Killer 60s Garage Reissues with Hyperloop Records!
Q: How did Hyperloop Records begin, and what motivated you to start reissuing these 60s tracks?
It started from a personal love for rare 60s releases; financial limits made me focus on the titles I genuinely cherished and could responsibly license, which evolved into a mission to keep these songs afloat for new listeners.
ep. 734 - Another Killer Episode Filled With Fuzz, Grit, and Teen Angst!
Q: Another question. I'd like to know what's your attitude toward dancing.
The host and guest discuss dancing as morally suspect in the context of broader social mores, suggesting dancing leads to adulterous behavior and moral decline, reflecting a conservative view of cultural change.
ep. 730 - Ultra-Obscure 🇦🇺 Aussie Garage with Ethan Kernaghan
Q: How do you balance honoring the original garage aesthetic with modern sonic possibilities in your studio work?
I use as much old-school, homemade equipment as possible and even built effects myself to preserve the raw, primitive character while achieving a fresh, contemporary sound.
ep. 730 - Ultra-Obscure 🇦🇺 Aussie Garage with Ethan Kernaghan
Q: Was there any specific kind of eureka moment in your research that finally turned this from a lost chapter into a cohesive story?
Yes, discovering a long-forgotten fanzine and interview with Ziggy Zapata, plus other rare photos, provided the missing threads that tied together the band's public mythos and actual history.
