The Week That Was: Tales of Record Store Day 2019
It was Record Store Day across America, so we put out the call to the Suburbs Pod Community and they responded in a big way. So did Mike Snider, who came over to the deck with a growler, an iPad to watch the final round of the Masters and of course, some RSD vinyl.
- On Monday, Randall Brown (Knoxville, Quartjar) told us about procuring his annual Flaming Lips RSD prize, some Brian May and hepped us to a band featuring Butthole Surfer King Coffey — a heavy trip called USA/Mexico.
- Tuesday found Scott Parks on the end of our video line, and as usual, he went all-out for RSD, picking up Bob Dylan, Jeff Tweedy, Mission of Burma and Fela Kuti vinyl, among others.
- Wednesday was Ben Montgomery time. He dialed us up from Florida and chatted about his finds by The Alarm and a-ha, and a good deed that resulted in him getting a really awesome VIP meet-and-greet ticket to a concert. (Pssst, listen to Ben's podcast, too.)
- Thursday we were bad, we were nationwide (kinda): Bud Verge of Silver Spring, Maryland, Intern Sam Lisker of Ithaca College, BJ Bonin of St. Paul, Minnesota, and Keith Jacobsen of Grand Rapids, Michigan all chipped in with their RSD purchase tales.
- Friday's episode contained enough vinyl and talk to last all weekend. Jim, Patrick and Mike all reviewed their hauls, while Adam Coop and Mark Neese buzzed us on the Suburban Party Line.

On Deck: Correspondence and Don Z: Live!
- Monday and Tuesday — April 22nd and 23rd — are dedicated to catching up on some correspondence. We're focusing on new music in these two episodes, with picks from listeners and suggestions for rad tunes. And demonstrating that we're bad, we're worldwide, we've got messages from Norway, Scotland and Ireland.
- Wednesday, Thursday and Friday — April 24, 25, 26 — are special episodes. We roll the tapes from our live show with producer and musician Don Zientara. Earlier this month we talked with Don, listened to exclusive live performances of his songs and watched as the audience asked questions. It's a great set of shows.
- On the subject of live events, we've got one coming up on April 24th. If you know any Led Zeppelin fans in the DC Metro area, let 'em know about this movie/interview thang we got going at Suns Cinema.
