<p>Just a short episode to recap my 2024 Record Store Day. Brendan, Brian, Jon, Mike, and I hit a few record stores in the Maryland area, and I had the opportunity to speak with a few of the record shop owners. I did not, on the other hand, pick up Blur&#39;s Parklife. Such is life. I did pick up a few albums that I hope to cover on the show, so stay tuned!</p>

Attention ! Rookies

Mark Farrell is just some guy - a guy who has been in far too many bands. Which bands? None you've heard of. And that's the point. He gets it. Mark knows what it is to lug gear, and play to half-empty rooms. And all these years later, Mark has never stopped rooting for the unsung musicians who never got the break they deserved. He haunts record stores looking for lost alt-rock treasures, unearthing DIY releases and short runs of great records that went largely unspun. Quite simply, Mark is on a mission to rescue the best indie albums from the discount bins of history.
