Sharing Needles With Friends

In this episode we dive DEEP and most of the time off topic into one of Pink Floyd's most influential records "Wish you Were Here" with our good friend and drummer extrordinaire  Billy Graves from bands such as A Storm of Light, Generation of Vipers, and US Christmas. Our Top 5 of the evening includes our Top 5 Side 1 / Track 1.

In this installment we discuss some recent news including Billy Ray Cyrus' new track... sort of... as well as Odd Future, Drake, Queens of the Stone Age, and Morrissey. Finally we introduce next weeks guest Billy Graves and play a track from his band A Storm of Light and we give you next weeks Top 5 in advance!

In this episode we bring in our good friend Russ Torbett to discuss his band Kelsey's Woods and the album of the night is Lucero's "Tennessee" which is quite fitting for us!

In this episode we bring in Vinyl Evangelist Peter Zimowski (Mr. Now Spinning himself) to discuss his blog and personal Vinyl movement on the interwebz and the album of the evening is Death Cab For Cutie's "Transatlanticism". We thank Peter / Now Spinning so very much for gracing our show and helping us spread the good word of the Vinyl Community. Closing the show is our very own Derek Jones covering (what I seem to recall as nearly everyones favorite track from the record) "We Looked Like Giants".

In this episode we talk a bit, or maybe too much... about current news topics such as Justin Bieber, the use of Skinny Puppy as a torture device at Guantanamo Bay, Green Day's Dookie turns 20, and much more!!

In this episode we bring in our the super talented Eric Griffin to discuss Radiohead's record Ok Computer... which turns out to be a conversation on ALL THINGS Radiohead. Eric was also kind enough to give us a live in studio performance of his song "House of Stone".

In this episode we bring in our friend Zach Gilleran to discuss Typhoon's record Hunger and Thirst as well as his own project LipLipLip Hands. Zach was also kind enough to give us a live in studio performance of a brand new song "Flat Dog".

In the third episode of SNWF we have a discussion with our friend Joshua Shelley, owner of Wretched World Vinyl, about record collecting and the resurgence of vinyl culture as well as Jawbreaker's 1995 record Dear You.
