It's been awhile since I've podcasted but there's a slew of episodes coming your way for the next month or so. First up, I welcome to the show, live in-studio, music enthusiast and vinyl expert Jim Hanke, who will soon become a part of The Now Playing Network family next month! I asked him to stop on by so we could talk music for 2 hours, including his podcast plans, our Nick Digilio connection, and other pop culture tidbits. The bulk of the conversation revolves around our favorite records of 2015, starting with some honorable mentions, then at about the 46 minute mark, we reveal our Top 5 favorites. Our lists will be available in blog form, in a couple of days over at Pop Culture Club in case you missed a title. Can't thank you enough for listening as always, and mad props to Jim for his expertise and enthusiasm.
00:00 - 01:30 - Intro / Nick Digilio Mention
01:31 - 46:05 - Jim Hanke Introduction / 2015 Records (Honorable Mentions)
46:06 - 1:06:59 - Top 5 Records of 2015 (Numbers 5 & 4)
1:07:00 - 1:07:28 - "Bury Our Friends" - Sleater-Kinney
1:07:29 - 1:44:30 - Top 5 Records of 2015 (Numbers 3, 2, 1)
1:44:31 - 1:54:14 - My Other Favorites / Outro
1:54:15 - 1:55:00 - "Mind On Fire" - Dan Deacon
IMPORTANT FYI: This will also be the last Pop Culture Club episode that will cross-pollinate (sortaspeak) in the Director's Club feed. So as of next year, you're going to want to subscribe to a separate Pop Culture Club ITunes feed if you wanna hear me interview various guests and nerd out about things other than filmmakers. I'll include that link soon enough as well once it's available. In a few days, I will be joined by Patrick Ripoll and Sergio Mims to talk about the incredibly profilic Michael Curtiz, and then in January, our Episode 100 extravaganza / year-end best-of show will commence!
