Zorch Radio Episode 207: Essential Brony Albums

Airdate: Thursday, September 18th, 2014

95% of what we do at Zorch Radio has to do with music. The other 5% consists of beer, and trashy movies. So you could say that music is a really important part of our lives. But as an Invader, music is a big part of your life too, and we wanted to turn tonight’s episode’s focus on music and the albums that we play. There is nothing better than a band that releases an album that makes you feel like your life has been incomplete up until the first moment – but does that make for an essential album? Tonight we asked those in the Real Punk Radio our big question for the evening: What makes an album essential?

Serg said that if you felt the desire to have the album on every kind of medium – 8 track, vinyl, CD, digital download – then that made it an essential album. Kjersti and Hodaddy both agreed that an album kind of had to slip below the radar and flow easily, almost subconciously, and surprise you when the whole thing comes to the end. But what everyone could agree on is that once an album gets its hooks in you, it’ll never let go. Post a comment below letting us know what makes an album “essential” to you.

Tonight, we also premiered a new track from Seattle band The Wages of Sin off their new album “Queensbury Rules.” Stop by the Tractor Tavern next Friday 9/26 for their album release party if you are n Seattle and make sure to hit up to Slim’s for the Zorch Invasion on October 10th to see Curse Of The Black Tongue, The Load Levelers and Graveyard Shift.
