Well, it's been a while! While, I'd rather not go into detail of the happenings of my personal life that coincided with the 4-month gap between episodes of this podcast (I'm a spy, OK?), will let you know a few things you may have missed: I did not one, not two, but three fill-ins on WFMU. Listen to the results my Discogs transactions. Unblinking E…

Above is an image from the Instagram of Peteski of this isn't happiness (occasionally NSFW), who was just profiled on Dangerous Minds and sometimes pairs the images he posts with songs he heard on this podcast or on my WFMU fill-ins. I'm finally returning the hat tip. Or I'm just stealing content. However you want to frame it. Download the latest T…

A day late but hardly a dollar short (because it's free) we've got a new Unblinking Ear Podcast. Download the latest The Unblinking Ear Podcast Or Subscribe via iTunesBy The Unblinking Ear

If you enjoy this podcast (and if you're reading this, I hope you would at this point) and live in New York (god help you), you're certainly welcome to come see/hear me DJ live in person with my pal Jenn at young person gathering place Alphaville. Live podcasts are all the rage now and this is sort of like that. Except no ads for Bonobos. So not at…

(Above: Kenny Omega, who had a pretty good 2016 himself) My best podcast of the year is usually the first one. Why? Because I've read a whole bunch of other people's best of the year list from the preceding year and cherry picked my favorites from what I hadn't heard. This podcast is truly standing on the shoulders of giants. (Giants, in the case, …

This is the first Unblinking Ear Podcast of this brave new era where facts, reason, qualifications and general decency don't matter any more. I feel the word "fiasco" will acheive a new prominence in the coming years. Anyway, here's some tunes to get you through these dark times.

So I'm going to go ahead and say this podcast is now monthly. This not by design. Not really be necessity either. More by convenience. That means the next podcast we'll have a new president elect. I'm pulling for Tiffani Mims. She looks like a nice lady. Download the latest The Unblinking Ear Podcast Or Subscribe via iTunes…

Do you find the above GIF as hilarious as I do? Probably not but I'm to lazy to think of anything to write to accompany this podcast so you're stuck with it. Download the latest The Unblinking Ear Podcast Or Subscribe via iTunesBy The Unblinking Ear

I'm going to forgo my usual apology for the lateness of this podcast and instead, simply tell you what's been going on in Unblinking Ear HQ in the interim: Our showcases for the Northside Fest were enormously successful (read: adequate). If you missed out, you can hear the Gotobeds set on NYC Taper. Our name your price digital single series Office …

Two months ago I promised big news from Unblinking Ear HQ. (And I think I may have actually delivered.) But the Unblinking Ear Records Official Northside Showcase is probably even bigger news. Contemplate that while you listen to this array of specially chosen musical selections. Download the latest The Unblinking Ear Podcast Or Subscribe via iTune…

There will be lots of new regarding Unblinking Records and associated acts coming very soon (like next week soon). Watch unblinkingearrecords.com for more info. But for now, enjoy this podcast, which I somehow managed to tear myself away from frinkiac.com to make. Hooray! Download the latest The Unblinking Ear Podcast Or Subscribe via iTunes…

After a two month (unplanned) hiatus the Unblinking Ear Podcast is back. What was the cause of the delay? You don't really need to know. However, in that time, you could have checked out the best of 2015 show I did on WFMU or the 80s U.S. Underground playlist I made for No Such Punk. And, of course, the Unblinking Ear Records monthly digital single…

Over a month since my last podcast and you'd think I'd have something to say or at least some kind of year end wrap up. Nope. Instead, enjoy this clip of Jesse Ventura and Adrian Adonis discussing hanging out with San Francisco rock royalty. You can play it after listening to the podcast or during the segments when I'm speaking if you prefer. Downl…

This new edition of this podcast is being posted a few mere hours after the second episode of the Direct Obsess podcast. I implore you that whatever you do, DO NOT LISTEN TO THAT PODCAST! Yes, it's made by someone with great taste who is knowledgable about cool and happening bands and has done a lot of (unpaid) work for us here at Unblinking Ear HQ…

Lots of news since our previous podcast. First of all, our unofficial CMJ showcase (flyer above by the lovely Carrie Quartly) is this Saturday. You can RSVP on Facebook here and buy tickets here. Secondly, we've just launched our monthly digital single series Office Supplies! Every month we'll be posting an exclusive (for the time being, at least) …

It's been over a month since the last Unblinking Ear Podcast. Yes, we somehow managed to skip all of September. Not because we haven't been busy. We did not one but two fill ins on WFMU (who have just begun their annual silent fundraiser so go give them some money) during that time. Additionally,Unblinking Ear Records released the debut solo album …

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. Download the latest The Unblinking Ear Podcast Or Subscribe via iTunesBy The Unblinking Ear

New podcast! It's pretty good. I have nothing to plug and I'm too dehydrated to write anything else because it's August. Enjoy! Download the latest The Unblinking Ear Podcast Or Subscribe via iTunesBy The Unblinking Ear

Do you like to party? Of course you do. Well, there's a heck of a party happening tomorrow night at Pine Box Rock Shop in Brooklyn: Big Quiet's 7" release show! Come and see Big Quiet and pick up their Unblinking Ear Records 7". Plus you get to see SWIVS, Real Numbers (who have a tune on the below podcast) and Sunshine and the Rain. But that's not …

So here's an anomaly: a new podcast with nothing for me to plug. Sure, I could tell you that the Big Quiet 7" and the Kerbivore and SWIVS tapes are still available at the Unblinking Ear Records bandcamp page or that Big Quiet's record release show for said 7" will be Friday, July 17th at Pine Box Rock Shop in Brooklyn and will feature special guest…

It's been a month since the last Unblinking Ear Podcast. Apologies for not keeping to my personally mandated biweekly schedule (thought I did a fill in for Evan "Funk" Davies on WFMU last week which you could have listened to if you missed me that much). However, things have been quite busy for us at Unblinking Ear HQ. SWIVS will be making their li…

Another podcast, another Unblinking Ear Records release to plug. This one is from Staten Island power trio Kerbivore, a 5-song EP called All Dressed. Without totally reiterating their one sheet (which I wrote, so it wouldn't be plagiarism) I'm going to say it's their best stuff yet. They've always been a band with chops but this is the first releas…
