Record #47: Jacques Dutronc (1966)

June 26, 2026 12:47pm 34 min

I'm back on my merde, as I discuss the first LP from French rock star and actor Jacques Dutronc. I cover the perils of analogy, Dylan impressions, garage rock and more. In addition to many men named Jacques, I also menti...

Single #11: Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey/Too Many People

June 19, 2026 12:00pm 6 min

A brief detour back into the English language, and Paul's first post-breakup #1. I talk about satisfying chord progressions, funny voices, and singalongs. I also touch on diss tracks.

Record #46: C'est Chic! French Girl Singers of the 1960s

June 12, 2026 12:36pm 37 min

Salut, les copains! I tackle the birth of yéyé pop, a distinctly French phenomenon of the 60s. I talk about cultural chauvinism, disparate influences, and the dominance of female singers in the French music scene, and ho...

Record #45: Red Rose Speedway (2018)

June 05, 2026 12:00pm 21 min

As I mentioned on the previous episode, Red Rose Speedway was originally conceived of as a double album. When EMI said "nope", Paul shuffled some stuff around and compressed it into a single. In 2018, Paul reconstructed ...

Record #44: Red Rose Speedway

May 29, 2026 12:00pm 30 min

We're still in the throes of a Maccathon. While I wait for The Boys of Dungeon Lane, we might as well talk about Wings' second album, and its long and winding road (hah!). I talk banning, touring, and harmonies. This wee...

Single #10: Instant Karma/Who Has Seen the Wind

May 22, 2026 12:00pm 10 min

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the breakup of the Beatles was a fraught hot mess. It was also a slo-mo train wreck, and in alternate timelines, it is possible that the end could have been delayed, if not com...

Record #43: Wild Life

May 15, 2026 12:00pm 32 min

After covering covering four studio albums from Wings (plus one modern repress auxiliary copy and a belated post hoc release), we return to the beginning. I cover the origins of Wings, how the band got its name, and why ...

Record #42: McCartney II (2022 repress)

May 08, 2026 12:00pm 28 min

We return to Weird Paul and his bleep bloops! I talk about my second copy of McCartney II, why the Archive Collection version is on my Discogs wantlist, and go on a discursive journey about how streaming has allowed many...

Record #41: McCartney II (1980 copy)

May 01, 2026 12:00pm 28 min

Is this Paul McCartney's most divisive album? Probably. While other albums might be less loved, few are more hated. I dig its weirdness. I talk about ambivalence, experimentation, and the inadvisability of bringing a big...

Single #9: Back off Boogaloo/Blindman

April 24, 2026 12:00pm 5 min

It's Ringo! This time, Ringo, after hanging out with Marc Bolan, goes a little glam with Back off Boogaloo. Is it a diss track? If it is, while Ringo wouldn't have been alone in being baffled by Ram, saying so in the pre...

Record #40: Arena

April 17, 2026 12:00pm 30 min

Grab your tickets, folks! It's a live album! Duran Duran came to my city in 1984, and I was champing at the bit to go. Alas, I did not receive parental permission (being only 13 and those being different times). I work t...

Single #8: Come and Get It/Rock of All Ages

April 10, 2026 12:00pm 8 min

When are The Beatles not The Beatles? The answer this week is when they're Badfinger. Before they were a rock and roll cautionary tale about scummy managers, they were a band from Wales with a Liverpool connection when t...

Record #39: Friend or Foe

April 03, 2026 12:00pm 27 min

Back in 1982, I wanted my MTV, and certainly one reason was this episode's artist, Adam Ant. I dive into his solo debut, Friend or Foe, talk about art school and New Wave, Punk Rock icon Jordan, and muse on the shelf lif...

Record #38: One Hand Clapping (pt. 2) and Singles #6 and #7: Hi Hi Hi/C Moon and Helen Wheels/Country Dreamer

March 27, 2026 12:00pm 26 min

Before I finish off One Hand Clapping, I take a brief interlude to discuss a couple of singles from Wings: Hi Hi Hi/C Moon and Helen Wheels/Country Dreamer. Because all four songs are also handled elsewhere, I skim the s...

Record #38: One Hand Clapping (Part 1)

March 20, 2026 12:00pm 31 min

It's double album time! I tackle the first three sides of this 2024 release of the 1974 One Hand Clapping Sessions. I give a recap of As the Band Turns and share some hot (or maybe lukewarm) takes involving hits and Bond...

Single #5: Beaucoups of Blues/Coochy Coochy

March 13, 2026 12:00pm 8 min

Ringo! As the four Beatles started to figure out who they were without the other three, Ringo went to Nashville and recorded his first country album. And we have the single--the title track, backed with a non-album B-sid...

Record #37: Band on the Run

March 06, 2026 12:00pm 33 min

It is possible to recognize an album as being the best, but having another as your favorite. I tease apart why I consider Band on the Run to be the best Wings album, but Back to the Egg is my favorite. I talk about the l...

Single #4: Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go

February 27, 2026 12:00pm 8 min

We've got another extended dance mix for all you fans of 80s synth pop! The single Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go, backed with Memorabilia and Tainted Dub. I talk covers, instrumentation and used record seredipity!

Record #36: Beethoven's Sixth Symphony (Pastorale)

February 20, 2026 12:00pm 29 min

It's highbrow time at Record Collecting HQ! I discuss the life and times of one Ludwig van Beethoven (the famous grandson, not the grandfather), talk about the shift from the eighteenth century, full of Reason and the Cl...

Single #3: Girl from Ipanema Goes to Greenland

February 13, 2026 12:00pm 9 min

Let's dance this mess around! I tackle our first 12" single here at Record Collecting HQ, with four versions of the Girl from Ipanema Goes to Greenland. While the song is fun, the story behind the scenes is much less so....
