Sound Of Plaid LIVE at Lost Weekend Records Sunday
Saturday, 31 August 2013 09:10
The Sound Of Plaid owes something of a debt to the vinyl slingers of Lost Weekend Records. For more than a decade Coolbrother Kyle has kept the platters spinning out the door of his low-headroom headquarters and into the appreciative hands of records junkies like us. We've certainly spent plenty of time in the store already -- so why not bring the show there too? (Saves us lugging more heavy vinyl back to the studio after all...)
And with the Lost Weekend Records Labor Day Parking Lot Record Swap happening this holiday weekend, it seemed the perfect excuse. Coolbrother Kyle will be our special guest as we compare and share Columbus-specific absurdities and rareties, plus some of our fave finds we've snatched from Lost Weekend in the past. So join us in-store Sunday September 1st (tomorrow!) from 2p-4p as we record this week's show at the store and pretend like it's actually Monday. See you there!
WHAT: The Sound Of Plaid radio show LIVE
WHEN: 2p-4p EDT / Sunday 09-01-13 (tomorrow!)

Special Guests CHARLES WINCE and PAUL VOLKER on The Sound Of Plaid
Sunday, 04 August 2013 11:49
This week's special guests on The Sound Of Plaid are Charles Wince and Paul Volker, pop art instigators and mainstays of the Columbus Ohio art scene.
Charles Wince has spent the last two or three decades forging a body of work that boosts the lowbrow into high art. Masterpieces like his Mother Russia Meltdown pack pathological amounts of detail into a painting so dense that you'll notice something new every time. Conversely, Paul Volker's paintings combine the simplicity of a stand-up comic's one-liner with the obfuscation of a zen koan.
Tune in on August 5th for the live show, or listen to a repeat airing:

Seeking Your Listener Requests!
Friday, 26 July 2013 07:12
Time for another one of our awesome-yet-fat-free Listener Request episodes of The Sound Of Plaid!
Once again we invite listeners to make requests for vague concepts only... no specific songs. But don't worry; the perfect song to match your concept will be chosen -- either by us, or by other listeners. Wisdom of the crowd, y'know?
Last month we successfully launched our automagical semi-robotic listener request system that coordinates your requests and suggested matches. So let's turn it back on and have another go!

Special Guest JEFF CHENAULT on The Sound Of Plaid
Friday, 28 June 2013 07:30
This week's special guest on The Sound Of Plaid is Jeff Chenault, longtime creator, collaborator, and promoter of music ranging from exotica to experimental to erectronica.
"Erectronica?" Yes, years ago Greg Fernandez and I collaborated with Jeff as The Weird Love Makers, a combination of electronica, exotica, and erotica (hence, erectronica) that performed live for the better part of a decade. Jeff has also collaborated with many others including James Towning (Fact 22) and Andy Izold (10-Speed Guillotine), not to mention running his own cassette label Exoteque in the 80's and, more recently, releasing albums of rare exotica music on Dionysus Records.

Make your listener requests for The Sound Of Plaid!
Tuesday, 11 June 2013 17:24
Our Listener Request episodes of The Sound Of Plaid are favorites for us, and we think for listeners as well. Each time we invite listeners to make requests for vague concepts only... no specific songs... that's our job, to choose songs we think match the concepts. In later episodes we invited listeners to help, by suggesting songs that match other people's requests... wisdom of the crowd, y'know?
But, coordinating all this before each episode has been a lot of work for us and the call for requests have been limited to Facebook users who happen to see them at just the right time... not ideal. Now we're trying something new.
Use the form below and submit your request. Below it is a list of requests others have made. See a request you have a match for? Click the link to enter it in our spreadsheet.
(OOPS: Left out a place for people to leave their names... corrected now. You can also add your name to a previous request or match!)
