Camera Obscura's Tracyanne Campbell on Apple Podcasts

Aug 12, 2024 | podcasts.apple.com | Jim Hanke |Tracyanne Campbell |Camera Obscura

A love affair with records has fueled Tracyanne Campbell for as long as she can remember: Before anyone else woke up in the morning as a kid, she'd already be spinning ELO; thanks to her grandmother, she became a devout listener of American country music and still has a profound memory of first hearing Tammy Wynette's groundbreaking "Stand By Your Man"; her mother even bought her a new 45 RPM single every weekend growing up -- spanning everything from Roxy Music to The Osmonds -- keeping her...
John Roderick of The Long Winters on Apple Podcasts

May 7, 2024 | podcasts.apple.com | Jim Hanke |John Roderick

To say The Long Winters had some bad luck getting their music on vinyl would be an understatement: After a hurricane in the mid-2000's sent most copies of an exclusive box set into the Atlantic Ocean, the band struck a relationship last year with Bandbox -- an LP-subscription service doing limited, colored pressings of modern classics and out-of-print material -- only to have the company go suddenly belly-up, leaving the albums pressed, but under the ownership of Bandbox's investors, as...

Esquire editor-at-large and former MTV VJ Dave Holmes discusses how his ADHD allowed him to embrace the chaos of live television, why hitting up a NYC vinyl listening bar with The Mandalorian didn't go exactly as planned, and his new podcast docuseries examining MTV's cultural impact.

Ruston Kelly (Returns!) on Apple Podcasts

Mar 11, 2024 | podcasts.apple.com | Jim Hanke |Ruston Kelly

Since his last visit to Vinyl Emergency in August 2020, Nashville singer/songwriter Ruston Kelly has narrowly escaped a fiery bus explosion, sold off nearly every physical stage piece from his last tour, and rehabbed an old Victorian bungalow with his own two hands. And while all of these experiences are worth talking about, today he says that being a better listener has been a focused priority as of late.
Nirvana 'In Utero' Special with Michael Azerrad on Apple Podcasts

Dec 10, 2023 | podcasts.apple.com | Jim Hanke |Michael Azerrad

"If Nevermind was a peek into Kurt (Cobain)'s psychological/emotional world, then In Utero was a wide-open window.” This comes from today’s episode with author Michael Azerrad (Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground, 1981-1991), who definitively knew better than most.
‎Vinyl Emergency: Episode 190: Jim Pitt, Music Booker for SNL

Nov 27, 2023 | podcasts.apple.com | Jim Hanke |Jim Pitt |Conan O'Brien |Jimmy Kimmel

Starting as an NBC page in the mid-80’s, Jim Pitt eventually landed a dream job, for many: music booker for Saturday Night Live. From Nirvana’s debut on network television to Sinead O’Connor’s impactful and headline-making performance, Pitt booked it all starting in 1990, including mega-star appearances from Whitney Houston, Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young. Three years in, Pitt took his talents to David Letterman’s replacement at Late Night, a young upstart named Conan O’Brien.
Could Chicago's proposed 'mansion tax' hike boomerang on middle-class home owners? Depends on who you ask

Nov 15, 2023 | audacy.com | Jim Hanke

(WBBM NEWSRADIO) - Chicagoans will vote in March on a referendum to raise the real-estate transfer tax on the city's most expensive properties. In the meantime, voters can expect an earful from supporters and opponents of Mayor Brandon Johnson's initiative, which is designed to raise money to ease homelessness and create affordable housing.
R.E.M.'s 'Up' at 25 (with Josh Modell) on Apple Podcasts

Nov 6, 2023 | podcasts.apple.com | Jim Hanke |Josh Modell

Logistically and artistically, R.E.M.'s 1998 album Up marked a fork in the road for their trajectory: Prior to its recording, drummer and founding member Bill Berry had amicably left the band, having suffered a brain aneurysm while on stage three years earlier, leading the remaining trio of Michael Stipe, Mike Mills and Peter Buck -- for the first time in their career -- to create without a key piece of their dynamic.
‎Vinyl Emergency: Episode 188: Mac McCaughan of Superchunk

Oct 23, 2023 | podcasts.apple.com | Jim Hanke |Mac McCaughan

North Carolina-based label Merge Records, inarguably one of America's most influential and prolific purveyors of indie-rock, is on the cusp of turning 35 -- a landmark that co-founders Laura Ballance and Mac McCaughan likely couldn't fathom when they started the label in 1989. Then, Merge was simply a DIY avenue to release tunes by their scrappy quartet Superchunk.
