This month: Yes, the mix tapes are officially monthly (at least for now)--this month's Side A is just fast, fun, bullshit-free rocknroll, same as usual, featuring easily my personal favourite Bosom Divine song, along with more from Dirty Mouth, The Knits, Old Neighbors, etc. // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and use the Next/Prev. buttons to flip around.// albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com// albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com

This week's Side B is just a whole lot of goddamn Swearin'! I got to meet up with them (Allison Crutchfield, Kyle Gilbride, returning champion Jeff Bolt, and, although he decided not to join the interview, Keith Spencer) when they came to Vancouver a week or two ago now, and we hung out for a while at the Biltmore before they went on. We talked about how they all met and got started playing music, Bay Area burritos, annoying questions, Batman, and more! Bonus--their full live set (minus the first song they played, unfortunately) is up right after the interview! // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for more info., and use the Next/Prev. buttons to flip around.// surfingstrange.com// swearin.bandcamp.com// swearinnyc.tumblr.com// albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com// albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com

This week: It's the start of Series 4, so there's some catching up to do first, and then both Sides A and B to get to! (Side A: Spanish rock, punk rock, odd rock, thrash rock; just lots of rocknroll, the usual!) // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and use the Next/Prev. buttons to flip around.// albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com// albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com

Okay, Side B of the 'Back with Bonus Shit' tape(s?): Brand new Swearin', classic old Mean Jeans, the now-truly-immortal Lou Reed, more Cake, plus an explanation of where the fuck I've been. Stay tuned for special guests next week!// As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and use the Next/Prev. buttons to flip around.// albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com// albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com

This week: The unceremonious and interview-free end of Series 3, featuring (mostly) Stupid Bag Records bands! Jeff Bolt (Swearin', Radiator Hospital, more) is the dude behind Stupid Bag, and he recently sent the podcast some goodies, so this week's tape has some of my favourites in the mix (Dead Dog, Bad Energy, Waxahatchee, and, of course, Radiator Hospital). Get the physical releases and plenty of other Stupid Bag/Radiator Hospital/Swearin' shit at stupidbagrecords.tumblr.com!// As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and use the Next/Prev. buttons to flip around.// stupidbagrecords.tumblr.com// albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com// albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com

This week: It's just one special guest after another lately--this week's being Marissa Paternoster of the Screaming Females (also Noun)! I mean, goddamn, regular listeners know I fucking love me some Screaming Females, and they're on tour in the U.S. and Canada right now, so don't fuck up: go see them if you can. There's tour dates and everything at the links below, and pics + bonus videos up on the ARNRMT tumblr.// As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for more info., and use the Next/Prev. buttons to flip around.// screamingfemales.com// forgottengrin.tumblr.com// albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com// albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com

This week: Special guests Matt Johnson and Jay McCarroll, also known as Nirvana the Band! Nirvana the Band the Show was a webseries from 2007-09 that the two produced and subsequently gained a lot of attention for; now Jay McCarroll plays in bands such as Singapore, as well as composing film scores, and Matt Johnson's new film The Dirties is being released Oct. 4, and so we met up for lunch and discussed it all.

This week: First, an interview with Seamus McThirteen of Not Yer Buddy Records in Abbotsford; second, the tape, as per usual, starting with three tracks from Not Yer Buddy bands (to download the albums and for more info. check out: http://not-yer-buddy-records.bandcamp.com)!// As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for more info., and use the Next/Prev. buttons to flip around.// albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com// albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com

This... holy shit, where the fuck did I go? Well, I've got another pile of tapes to unload, and the time to do so again; welcome back. This week: Brand new Aye Nako, way old Death by Nostalgia, and more of the usual suspects to kick off a fresh batch of tapes. // More to come soon, and as always, just tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist. Also the prev./next buttons for, y'know. // albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.combr // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com

This week: Two bonus tapes on the weekend, apparently! Nah, I actually felt kinda weird just doing a bonus tape of a current band's full album (so BUY Merry Christmas' music, too, links are on the tumblr!), but I figured another quick bonus tape of an older and lesser-known album would balance the scales. From 1996, it's Salmonblaster's first and only full album (Self-Titled), which you can also download courtesy of the Chatham Music Archives and CHRW 94.9 FM--links are on the tumblr! And Seamus McThirteen on Wednesday! // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and just use the Prev./Next buttons to switch between songs. // albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com

This week: There was no tape, that's how late it ran! So here's a last-minute bonus, featuring one of Jeff's recommendations from last week's interview. Because that was a damn good recommendation. Check out Merry Christmas on PRTYNGG! Records, links are up on the tumblr. Next week: Seamus McThirteen of Not Yer Buddy Records! // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and just use the Prev./Next buttons to switch between songs. // albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com

This week: The tape is late! But after the 4/20 bonuses, I'm not feeling all that guilty about it, really. And as mentioned during said bonuses, our (read: my) mystery guest this week is Jeff Bolt, drummer for Swearin'! Regular listeners should know by now that I haven't stopped dancing my fucking balls off to Swearin' since Feb., no matter what else happens to be going on around me, so I managed to wrangle one of them into the podcast via Skype. We talked about Swearin' (obviously), other projects all four band members have on the go, the 4/20 report from NYC, and Christmas.

This 4/20: Two mix tapes to play while hittin' the bong and the Mario Kart (or whatever) this 4/20 weekend! This is the first one, just a bunch of sweet, chill rocknroll, and the second one is the first video edition of the podcast! // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and just use the Prev./Next buttons to switch between songs. // albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com

This week: I'm back! With a fast, fun, underground (but also with Pinhead Gunpowder), bullshit-free rocknroll mix tape. A tape like the cool kids used to make. You know the drill. // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and just use the Prev./Next buttons to switch between songs. // albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com

This week: The end of Series 2!

This week: Remember when you actually made for real mix tapes, and you'd start out with one idea for a theme to a tape, but by the time it was done, it was a whole other tape? That happened this week. With!: Monks, Old Neighbors, Flashing Lights, Pure, and more! // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and just use the Prev./Next buttons to switch between songs. // albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
