On this week's episode of Vinyl Fridays Brandon and AP Lindsay play host to Blue Island legend Jimmy Munoz. Traditionally a House DJ, Jimmy has been DJing for many years (unlike Brandon) has appeared on Vocalo, and a number of his mixes can be heard on Mixcloud. On today's episode Jimmy dives into the deep end of the freeform pool and mixes in a number of favorites with an equal amount of surprises. They also talk about Blue Island, of course, and Jimmy's sense of style.

Brandon and AP Lindsay welcome back one of their favorite guests and DJs, Mr. Jason Berry. The last time Jason was on the show he played sets of Twee and Twee-Adjacent songs that were not available (to the best of his knowledge) on streaming sites like Spitofy or what-have-you) and this time he challenges Brandon to a duel of short songs. Who can play the shortest songs without mis-cueing, in the least amount of time. May the shortest set win! You will hear songs by Fuzzbox, The Judys, The Undertones, Dear Nora, Suburban Lawns, Sour Patch, The Meat Puppets, Toys That Kill, Half Japanese, Go Sailor and many more!

On this week's episode of Vinyl Fridays Brandon & AP Lindsay are joined by The Ex-Bombers, Nancy & Kitty. Wether you call it "Beatnik Spy Jazz" or "Psychadelic Blues" The Ex-Bombers bring the noise and the fun. And today they bring an eccelctic selection of deepcuts and old favorites. But as Nancy said, "A good song is a good song" while Brandon plays some moldy old 45s that he wrestled from the clutches of an albino racoon.

Better late than never, but the first episode of the Blue Island Radio Podcast is finally here and like "Who Shot JR?" it's a two- parter!
On this first part Brandon is joined by AP Lindsay and Mike Tucker to discuss the graduating class of 2023. The musicians that we love, the ones that were influential, the ones that will live on forever even though they have moved on to the great beyond.
They also take phone calls from listeners, talk about celebrity encounters and of course Smash Mouth.
