The Unblinking Ear Podcast 10/17/13

Another CMJ week. Another year where I don't get a badge despite spending pretty much my entire adult life on the periphery of the music "biz."

Though my lack of badge something of badge of honor at this point. I can always say that one's ability to secure a CMJ pass is inversely proportioned to his or her taste in music (which is only slightly inaccurate). Also, most the "must-see" CMJ events are awful experiences, overstuffed with the desperate to impress and the generally clueless, who will suck the fun out of the room and make you second guess how much you really liked the musical act you are witnessing in the first place.

I can pretty guarantee that the below podcast will be a more rewarding experience than nearly every NYC area show the week of CMJ.

There are, however, exceptions.

The Unblinking Ear Podcast 8/30/12

(In a world... where this apparently fucking exists)

It's rough out there, folks. You just don't know who you can trust. Just in the past couple of weeks, we've had the P4K "People's List" (submissions without any Radiohead were thrown out for assumed trolling/implausibility), an article tracing punk's lineage back to Scandal's "Goodbye to You" and some kind of plea to listen to more Foo Fighters, I guess. Also, there's something called Rosco Bandana. The point is, some people are just dying to give you bad information.

The Unblinking Ear Podcast is here to rescue you from this conundrum. This edition of the podcast features nothing but new releases. That's a whole bunch of new music plus a new reissue. We filter it all so you don't have to. And you don't even have to thank us. The glory of being the best is enough.
