3 DEC 2024 · Spin the Black Circle is an exploration of "Conditions of My Parole", the second full-length release from Puscifer. This is the album where the core line up of Maynard James Keenan, Carina Round, and Mat Mitchell solidified. Their humor is still in place but there is a growing complexity to both the musical compositions and lyrics.
28 NOV 2024 · Spin the Black Circle is up first with an examination of Black Sabbath's "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath". This 1973 LP is considered the last truly great album released by the original line up. There was a maturation in their sound and production (Rick Wakeman even played on the album!) on this record that some feel signaled the end for the original line up; they realized their ambitions with this one.
10 SEP 2024 · This week's show has us go through Jethro Tull's 1970 LP, Benefit. The album, which sees the band transitioning away from the bluesy beginnings and moving toward their prog rock future, has long been a personal favourite from the band. We're going to check out the UK tracklist and feature outtakes and singles.
27 AUG 2024 · Spin the Black Circle on https://www.facebook.com/RadioGordo?__cft__[0]=AZWg30I0aWMRVlPJ-SkC7NWY8WK4U0oKn7tVzrrZZEk0pluA38s5q655Av3QUPWTxptJWaU6URLIzWttISV8HK39Lmfcp4HJ6HZ3R1DuPou8Vtc5zX3EZbTp2cGnV1MeAydbIXx1GfTCrYVLRE7gjdwiY00oG0w3nkFKu9Zp6ZzOYfNjHnUq4EFIW5g0DCFx9h4&__tn__=-]K-R. "Elephant" by The White Stripes is the album of choice this time. The 2003 release solidified the band as one of the biggest based, in large part, on the anthemic riff of "Seven Nation Army". They were already a modern rock phenomenon on the basis of 2001's "White Blood Cells" but the anti-modern technology recording approach to this album made them pop culture superstars.
22 AUG 2024 · In this episode we dive into The Beatles' classic 1966 release, Revolver. This album was the last the band released while still a touring band but their coming studio years were foreshadowed with cuts like "Love You To", "Yellow Submarine", and "Tomorrow Never Knows". We'll listen to the album and then a number of early takes/demos/alternate mixes.
2 AUG 2024 · This week we listen to Patti Smith's 1975 debut, "Horses". All these years later this album still stands as an incredible testament to the creative possibilities of punk rock before the genre became codified by distorted buzzsaw riffs and spiked mohawks. The marriage of poetry and anarchic playing creates songs of beauty.
27 JUL 2024 · This week we're taking on Gary Numan's 1979 solo debut "The Pleasure Principle". Having recently dropped "Tubeway Army" (his punkish band) and guitars themselves, Numan crafted an album at turns synth-pop, new wave, and electronic. It features the world-wide hit "Cars" and a slew of songs influential to many artists 45 years later.
27 JUL 2024 · We're diving into what is often called the greatest live rock album ever recorded, "The Who Live at Leeds". First up is the original version, the lean and loud single disc version. Then we'll follow that up with cuts from the expanded editions. There's a reason why The Who were considered a formidable beast in the live setting, and this album is it!

7 JUL 2024 · in 1979 AC/DC released on of the greatest rock albums of all time. We're diving into "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC. It's a lean and muscular album devoid of gratuities. And, as if that's not enough, after we listen to the album we're going to hear how powerful the band was on stage in 1979 playing some of these songs.
