Mixtape Rewind: Recent Episodes
VHS Rewind!
Mark loves listening to music, not just songs but entire albums from beginning to the very end. With the help of friends, fellow musicians and guests he offers a voice-over commentary discussion while the album plays in the background.
"Christmas comes once a year but the Annual VHS Rewind Xmas Music Spectacular is a little less predictable (the "Annual" in the name is probably a bit misleading) Now, after a 2-year hiatus, the Annual VHS Rewind Xmas Music Spectacular is back to celebrate the joyous Christmas season. America's best loved Christmas collection is bringing you 2 hours (!) of its patented brand of Christmas spirit. Resident programmer Chris H captures the true meaning of Christmas with disco carols, jazz carols, PSA carols, WTF carols, funky carols, raunchy carols and carols of every other kind, PLUS, as a special present for our listeners, we have a huge assortment of your favorite stars of stage and screen and television and music (and figure skating (!)) not only wishing you, our listeners, "Merry Christmas", but maybe also sharing stories of Christmas in their respective families homelands. If you wanted to know the origin of "Wassail", you will find out in this episode. This Christmas collection is available exclusively via VHS Rewind and will never be sold in any store. The only way to get this collection before Christmas is to go start listening right now (save those COD charges by just going to the VHS Rewind website or download the episode at all fine locations where podcasts can be found). Take this opportunity to give yourself and your friends that special Christmas feeling. Everyone from Alaska to Hawaii and everyone everywhere will enjoy listening to this fabulous Christmas treasury over and over. This unique collection will give you many hours of listening enjoyment, this Christmas and for many years to come. VHS Rewind wishes all of our listeners to "Be Thou Well" this Happy Season. "
Mark is joined by Kelly from the Dr. QuinnCast Podcast to discuss the debut album from The Strokes!
It's that time once again: the annual all-music Halloween episode!
Naturally, we prefer that listeners jump right in but maybe we can give you some SNEAK PREVIEWS to scare up your interest: this Halloween episode will be a little different as we spend time AT THE MOVIES. This episode will focus on songs (yes, with vocals) from horror flicks from the 1980s (maybe one from the 1990s). There are some obvious choices, of course: Freddy, Jason & Michael are represented but we have other perhaps more obscure horror flicks covered as well (if anything, maybe the songs themselves are less known than the movie they appear in). From main title songs, to end title songs, to songs that are genuinely creepy, to songs that are, like, what-the-hell-is-that-song-doing-in-a-horror-movie (looking at you, HALLOWEEN: CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS), from disco songs to country songs to songs with an extended kazoo solo(!), these songs will have you howling at the moon this Halloween (or any other time of the year). So please take a listen and leave a comment letting us know what you think.
We at VHS Rewind wish everyone a very safe and happy Halloween season.
