The Unblinking Ear Podcast 8/27/15

Summer is almost over. How was yours? Mine kind of stunk, thanks for asking. However, the good news is that a couple of exciting things are happening this fall. Here's a tease for one of them.

The Unblinking Ear Podcast 9/5/13

Caveat emptor. I have to confess, dear listener, that this edition of the podcast is not up to par. Oh sure, the songs are all excellent but the sequence and "flow" is severely lacking. I have failed as curator when I can't even order songs in a manner of more significance than an iPod shuffle.

Perhaps I'll do better on my WFMU fill-in this Saturday at 3pm EST. Or maybe I'll just waste my time playing Simpsons Tapped Out on my iPhone instead of preparing like I did for this podcast. (My handle is "djpbruno" if you should want to add me as a friend.)

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.

The Unblinking Ear Podcast: Zeitgeist, Baby

Here at Unblinking Ear HQ, we've noticed over the last couple of months a large amount of music press/internet babble devoted to deluxe reissues of albums that came out 20 years ago*. There's nothing wrong with that as we here at Unblinking Ear celebrate rock history as well and have also been known to have something of a 90s fetish.

However, what use is nostalgia when it overshadows the vital work happening in the here and now? There has been such a deluge of terrific new releases over the past few weeks and months that we've been struggling to keep up. In fact, the amount of fine new records has been so great that we've decided to eschew the past temporarily and devote this edition of the podcast entirely to brand new music. With so much, so good coming out recently, it was actually rather easy to acompliish.

The next podcast will surely feature some fine music recorded many years prior mixed with equally fine music of the present. But for now... dig the now.

*Incidentally, the actual best album of 1991 was Eleventh Dream Day's Lived To Tell.
