TRUE STORY: this episode of Random Old Records was supposed to come out back in April. I had an entire hour mapped out, made a test-mix, and immediately hated it. So, I trashed the entire thing, sat on it awhile, made a few changes, still hated it, started from scratch and hated THAT one too, then heard the new album from Terry and found the perfect song to really make it sing. Now, it's nearly October and EPISODE #59 is finally ready for your listening pleasure!
It all kicks off with a series of songs straight out of the late '60s rock underground, featuring flashy horn arrangements, jazzy textures, and blasts of instrumental virtuosity. Then, you'll hear the massive 1995 single "Fanfare" by Eric Matthews, a selection of recent chill-pop from Omni and Mild High Club, some newer tracks from long-time Random Old Records favorites Natural Child and Black Mountain, and then the old and new start to intermingle before Black Moth Super Rainbow finishes up with a modern classic track. Stream or download the episode below, and as always, thanks for listening!
