The Unblinking Ear Podcast: Christ Has Risen... Now What?

(It's in the Bible, people.)

I hope none of you are suffering from the post-Easter blues. It's an emotional roller coaster of a holiday, where the faithful deal with the suffering portrayed in the passion play by imagining some kind of zombie-like scenario and then getting a sugar high.

The Unblinking Ear Podcast is here to help you deal with those feelings of ambivalence, good Christians. And from whatever havoc those chocolate covered peeps have wrought on your digestive system.

The Unblinking Ear Podcast: Record Store Day Hangover

(Saturday morning outside Vintage Vinyl in Fords, NJ)

This podcast will not include any of the exclusive goodies offered by labels for Record Store Day. So you will not be hearing anything from the Fucked Up David's Town "compilation" nor Pink Floyd rocking live in London with Syd Barrett nor the long awaited (by me) debut single from Wild Flag.

This because I had the temerity to go to a record store in the afternoon when all that was left of "limited" releases was a Kings of Leon 10 inch and the Beady Eye singles box. I could make the case that Record Store Day rewards opportunists more that it does people who, you know, actually buy records regularly but I'll just let you listen to my latest podcast and let someone else make those points instead.

The Unblinking Ear Podcast: Unadorned

Instead of my usual attempts at cleverness and meta-commentary that accompany the posting of a new podcast, I thought I'd take a more direct approach this time:

The latest edition of the Unblinking Ear Podcast contains new music from the Feelies, Crystal Stilts, Vivian Girls, OBN IIIs and Quintron as well as a psychedelic classic, a punk obscurity, a 90s alternative rocker and a goodie from WFMU's Free Music Archive.

Okay, that was really boring. I promise not to do it again.

The Unblinking Ear Podcast: Mixed Emotions

(Copyright: World Entertainment Entertainment)

This was a weekend of conflicting feelings.

While I'm glad the Mets took two out of three from the Marlins to open the baseball season, Javier Vazquez is on my fantasy team so I really didn't want him roughed up quite so badly.

While really wanted CM Punk to get a clean win over Randy Orton , I knew that WWE never jobs Orton so I picked him in my Wrestlemania pool. (I was right. I lost the pool anyway.)

And while I'm happy for you that you have a new boyfriend, I still totally want to make out with your face.

Wait. I probably shouldn't have said that last one.

No conflict about the below podcast though. It's pretty great, if I do say so myself.
