Hypnolovewheel

On this episode of Cut Outs, I talk with the boys in Hypnolovewheel about their 1991 album, Space Mountain. While I usually find an album and then find the band, none of that happened this time around. I've had this CD for decades, and it's a good thing...because the band found me. We discuss past recordings, MTV cred, and current projects. And Book of Love creeps in there somewhere, for some reason.Tracks on this episode:- I Dream of Jeannie- Cactus- Junior PyromaniacsYou can follow me on Instagram: @cutoutspodcastYou can support me on Patreon (keep up with the Jones's):patreon.com/cutoutspodcastThank you to my patrons Stoney Outdoors, Elisha, and Peter!Send me pictures of your vacation to NYC:[email protected] and review the podcast!This album is not online (as far as I can tell), but the new compilation is on Spotify and has a lot of the songs from this album.

On this episode of Cut Outs, I talk with Gerald of the power-pop band Quincy about their 1980 self-titled debut album. This is a fascinating story, and is a good look at what it was to be an up and coming band in that era. We talk about big name clubs, giant record companies, and lawsuits galore. Gerald was very generous with his time. So much so the we don't discuss the record until the last ten minutes. Okay, maybe a little before that, but not by much.Tracks on this episode:- Can't Live In a Dream- Critic's Choice- Always In the NewsYou can follow me on Instagram: @cutoutspodcastYou can support me on Patreon (it's either this or Draft Kings):patreon.com/cutoutspodcastThank you to my patrons Stoney Outdoors, Elisha, and Peter!Send me pictures of your trees turning fall colors:[email protected] and review the podcast!This album is on Spotify, but you should also head over to the band's Bandcamp page and listen to their demos.

On this episode of Cut Outs, I talk with Andy of the Silver Spring, MD band The Airport 77s about their 2025 release, Don't Let Go. This album is power-pop gold! The first time I saw them live was autumn, in a field, at a park, at dusk...so that may have something to do with me being all in. I don't know. Andy and I dive deep into power-pop history, and call out a lot of 80's bands that never got their due. A fun conversation all around.Tracks on this episode:- 1999 (Take Me Back)- She's Everything- Make 'Em Pay (Don't Make It Easy)You can follow me on Instagram: @cutoutspodcastYou can support me on Patreon (yes, yes...in this economy):patreon.com/cutoutspodcastThank you to my patrons Stoney Outdoors, Elisha, and Peter!Send me pictures of your synth setups.

On this episode of Cut Outs, I talk with Nate and Dan from DC's Celebration Summer about their 2024 EP, A Little Less Numb. I've seen the band live a few times, and knew the first time I heard them that I had to have them on the show. We talk about the EP, as well as their other output, and we talk a bit about a tour that has already happened. I left that part in because I am lazy...I mean, for continuity...I mean, you'll figure it out.Tracks on this episode:- Cigarettes and Green Tea- Sea Shanty- Mad WorldYou can follow me on Instagram: @cutoutspodcastYou can support me on Patreon (it's not like you're betting on FIFA games anymore):patreon.com/cutoutspodcastThank you to my patrons Stoney Outdoors and Peter!Send me pictures of ghosts that you don't think have been doctored:[email protected] and review the podcast!The sound of this band is so very much up my alley, and their music is available on Bandcamp.

On this episode of Cut Outs, I talk with Lisah, Scott, and James of Red Dye No 5 about their entire catalog, pressed onto a 2016 12" compilation. This was an amazing conversation, and I appreciate the kids being so candid about their time as a band together. There are a lot of ups and downs on this one. Honestly, if your band isn't all about the ups and downs, you're probably doing it wrong.Tracks on this episode:- Green Ranch- Sugartime- Head FuckYou can follow me on Instagram: @cutoutspodcastYou can support me on Patreon (it's still cheaper than tickets to a UFC fight on the White House lawn):patreon.com/cutoutspodcastThank you to my patrons Stoney Outdoors and Peter!Send me pictures of the synth you play the LEAST:[email protected] and review the podcast!This album really is fantastic, and is available on Bandcamp...the way things should be.

Well, I'm at it again. It's another little PSA about the Telepathic Windows Festival coming to DC Brau on June 20, 2026. Dave put two more bands on my radar, and I'm glad he did. I have quick conversations with Jeff from Glimmer and Danny from The Veldt. Grab tickets at the link below, and say hello when you see me at the show. I'll be the old man with the beard. No, not that old man with a beard. I'm the other one.

This episode is a short little PSA about a festival that I am excited to be a part of! My friend Dave hit me up and asked if I would like to chat with some of the artists on the bill for the inaugural Telepathic Windows Fest, coming to DC Brau on June 20th, 2026. And so I did. I chat a bit with Bill from Darks0ft, and Nicole Yun...both performing at the fest this year.

Ok...this one is a bit of a doozy.On this episode of Cut Outs, I talk with Sue and James of Julie Trend about their 1994 EP, Someone I Know, as well as the demo cassette that precluded it. This was one of the first bands I thought of when I started this podcast and, three years later, the stalking finally paid off. We talk about all the usual stuff but, honestly, we are all over the place. I guess that's what I get for having old friends on the show to talk about our passion for music.Tracks on this episode:- Velvet- Someone I Know- Let Down- TonyaYou can follow me on Instagram: @cutoutspodcastYou can support me on Patreon (it's not illegal...yet!):patreon.com/cutoutspodcastThank you to my patrons Stoney Outdoors and Peter!Send me pictures of your favorite D&D dice:[email protected] and review the podcast!This EP is available nowhere. Maybe Sound Cloud. Oh, and Discogs. Do a search, I don't know. Or contact James. He still has a few. The price is $25 or something. Worth every penny!

On this episode of Cut Outs, I talk with Steve and Bryan of the DC band, American Television. Steve actually contacted me to say he was a fan of the podcast (or was working on it), and I immediately invited them on the show. We go over the line-up changes over the years, pulling from different punk influences and, of course, politics. Because it's an election year, that's why!

Recorded an end of day chat with Brian, Jon, and Mike about today's Record Store Day. We hit Bertha's Vinyl Shop in Mt Airy, MD, then shopped at Rock & Roll Graveyard and The Record Exchange in Frederick, MD. Honestly, This episode is just us shooting the shit outside with the birds until we get interrupted by some bikers. What are you going to do?
