My Weird Record Collection Podcast

A STOP sign that a citizen augmented to with a sign saying "This is NOT a SUGGESTION! It's the LAW!"

Whoever did that to this seldom-obeyed stop sign in my neighborhood --

Thank you.

Hey, I know of a unique podcast about weird records hosted by a guy who's autistic.

#JustSayin

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the awesomeness that is horchata?

Episode 22: Educate Your Dog by The Heisenmann Method 90% of what you know about training a dog is wrong. Well, at least that's what Chuck Eisenmann says! If you have a dog and want to know what you've been doing wrong, perhaps this episode is for you. Otherwise, this episode is DEFINITELY for you! Also, a story of a special black triangle on a certain Beatles album. SHOW NOTES Baseball in Wartime entry on Chuck Eisenmann Educate Your Dog by The Eisenmann Method on Discogs.com

Episode 22: Educate Your Dog by The Heisenmann Method

90% of what you know about training a dog is wrong. Well, at least that's what Chuck Eisenmann says! If you have a dog and want to know what you've been doing wrong, perhaps this episode is for you. Otherwise, this episode is DEFINITELY for…

So let me get this straight...

People sing "You'll Be Back" during the movie and it's because Lin-Manuel Miranda encouraged sing-alongs during the movie.

I do it, and somehow I'm ruining Oppenheimer for someone.

I know, the #bears game hasn't started yet, but might as well get the obvious message fans will be throwing out over with:

FIRE JOHNSON!!!!!

And he and Bruce Johnston will STILL be posing as The Beach Boys!

Wanna feel old?

Deuce coupes will be 100 years old in eight years.

Just heard that Taylor Hicks is enraged.

Well...he SHOULD be. I mean...those folks at 19 Entertainment haven't done squat for him in years.

Happy birthday to the late Glenn W. Turner, whose album Dare to Be Great! is featured in Episode 21 of My Weird Record Collection! The episode is now up on YouTube -- sorry for the delay, but a family emergency delayed the YouTube post. (All is better now!)

Man, I miss my Amiga 600.

Either LinkedIn has a severe spam problem, or there's a crap ton of tech recruiting firms in Liechtenstein and the US minor outlying islands all of a sudden.

Episode 21: Dare to Be Great!

Glenn W. Turner preaches the power of greatness and how to achieve your wildest dream of riches -- through multilevel marketing! Also...ever wonder what the deal is with ridges those large spindle holes on seven-inch records? Listen and learn...and be great! SHOW…

That's cool and all, but will *really* impress me is if you remember about Hive.

New episode is due out tomorrow!

In the mean time...anybody else think Nick Offerman's current look is basically the love child of Ron Swanson and Neil Young?

Okay, fellow Chicagoans...

Y'know how nasty out it is today??

Well, imagine that with triple the humidity. That's how the Jersey shore was last week.

YouTube video by ShowsIveBeenIn "Don't Put It Down" - Hair

When Jim Lovell saw Hair on Broadway in 1968, he walked out, disgusted by this scene, as were many who saw it.

Decades later, when Lovell was asked what was on his iPod, he admitted it had the Broadway cast recording of Hair.

Man, nothing makes you appreciate not being in New Jersey like two unplanned five-day trips to New Jersey within a couple of weeks of each other.

Newly opened container of Auntie Anne's cheese sauce, obviously not filled all the way

Shrinkflation has hit the Auntie Anne's at the airport too.

Ten-inch version of Songs by Tom Lehrer - record on a turntable exposing a 12-inch cork mat. Album artwork on a "NOW PLAYING" wall decoration above the turntable.

RIP, Tom.

I thought I found a rare treasure when I got this for $6 in July 1998 at Record Setter in East Brunswick, NJ. Turns out that the 10-inch version is actually the most common!

An open skeet to Mike Judge:

King of the Hill is an excellent show that, sadly, is cursed. Just ask Brittany Murphy, Johnny Hardwick, Tom Petty, Jonathan Joss, and Chuck Mangione.

Please reconsider doing the new continuation.

Currently on an emergency trip to New Jersey. Overheard after landing in Philly:

"I was named after an '80s band. My mom and dad got drunk at a Scorpions concert..."

Right now the entire north side because good luck finding a street that isn't closed for alleged construction.

That's just *plain* aggressive.

It's 1985. There's a famine in Ethiopia causing suffering and death. In episode 20 of My Weird Record Collection we take a look at that famous fundraising effort that happened in…San Diego??? We also dip our toes in the water of the sea of promo records. myweirdrecords.fab4it.com/2025/07/15/e...

A screenshot of a question that reads "What is your gender?" The options are "Male," "Female," and "I have no plans to purchase a new vehicle."

Now...I totally support non-cisgendered people and will call them what they want to be called, acknowledge their genders and pronouns, but this is just getting ridiculous.

I don't know how I feel about a continuation (it won't be a reboot, technically). I mean...Johnny Hardwick, Jonathan Joss, and Brittany Murphy are all gone. :/

Thank you for acknowledging the name of my band! We need the publicity!

I can't help but feel slightly insulted.
