Vinyl Record Talk Show - Live - Tuesday November 29th 8pm ET / 5pm PT on Radio Dentata

Shhhhhhh. No one will say so publically, but it looks like 2012 will be the end of the compact disc. Details on that story and how vinyl is coping in comparison.

Jane found a really sweet Elvis tribute 45, sort of like Orion but more rockabilly. You'll have to catch the show to find out what other music we'll be playing, cause right now we don't know. It'll be another out of the box show. We've got a half dozen boxes of 45s that will be picked through before the show.

So join us live once again, for all of the above, plus the Top 5 auction sales.

Malice Cooper Loses It Over John Lennon's Tooth

This is hysterical. Nightmares With Malice Cooper is the show on Radio Dentata before VRT. I was texting Malice during her show for her to announce some upcoming segments on VRT and she completely loses it over John Lennon's tooth being auctioned for $30,000. This is about 15 minutes.

Vinyl Record Talk Show - Live - Today, Tuesday November 22nd 8pm ET / 5pm PT on Radio Dentata

Yup, that's the tooth that went from John Lennon's mouth to his housekeeper's hands to the auction house. It sold for almost $30,000.00 a few weeks ago. Last week, a letter written by Paul McCartney to an unknown drummer inviting him to try out for the Beatles went on the auction block. Does paper beat tooth? Find out on VRT, today at 5pm PT / 8pm ET on Radio Dentata.

Also, be brave, Jane's been digging through the crates and has a very strange 45 she's going to play. That and the Top 5 record auctions plus lots more music on Vinyl Record Talk.

Say Hello To My Little Friend - Cult Radio A Go Go

Voted by 4 out of 5 people who ever put their two heads on a pillow as the best way to go to sleep at night without sex or drugs. Cult Radio A Go Go broadcasts the bizarre: a range of old time radio, public service announcements, and long forgotten commercials. In a few hours you can hear a horror drama from a radio network that never made it to television, a commercial for a drink mix that never made it to the 1970s, and arguments for why you should never go gay that would make Rick Warren roll his eyes. If the past was a bowel movement, CRAGG would be the used toilet paper. This is media history dirty and smelly, and sometimes it causes a gag reflex so powerful you'd believe you were there. We haven't come this far in history just because we were sanitary, tasteful, and nice guys and gals.

And every Saturday that God permits California to not fall into the ocean, CRAGG broadcasts hosted shows throughout the day on Cult Radio Snack Bar, and then live from 6pm-10pm it's CRAGG Live with hosts Terry and Tiffany DuFoe, with interviews from past stars of movies and television, and other types of odd creatures.

CRAGG has been around for a decade, but as time moves differently for them, they only now have a blog, new and bound to improve over time:

It's a Cure sandwich this week with a Cure acetate getting the #1 spot and a French 45 getting the #5. Inbetween are all LPs. "Please Please Me" is hardly a suprise anymore. The Captain Marryat record has shown up on the Top 5 twice before, once in '08 and again in '09, where each time it sold for around $4k. It's a rare Prog record out of Scotland from the early 70s.

2. LP - The Beatles "Please Please Me" Parlophone 3rd Stereo Pressing - $3,677.97

On another live VRT, we'll fill in the gaps with follow-up to Saturday's live broadcast with CRAGG from the Malibu Inn where we met one of the best live bands you'll ever see, Barb Wire Dolls. They have been playing around Los Angeles for the last year, and will be starting their first US tour later in the fall. Get out and see them while they're still playing small venues. It won't be for long!

Plus, if you missed it, we'll never tell who that girl was that Jane was making out with. Ok, maybe we will.


Plus, singing in the shower to save water in the news, and as always, the Top 5 auction sales. Check out our new page at for Vinyl Record Talk on Radio DenTaTa.
