Over the last couple years I have documented the released date of thousands of albums and every day on social media I post about those albums. I call these album anniversaries. I have had a couple different formats on this show but, this podcast is a chance to take a closer look at some of the albums on my calendar. I'm a fan of all genres but tend to focus on ska, punk, and alternative rock, and ... more

  • Great Nostalgia Trip

    I love a podcast like this that highlights obscure gems in music, especially many of the early Christian alternative/indie/hardcore acts I love. Now do Blindside!
