Sporadic rocknroll mix tapes! Mostly underground pop, punk, rock, garage, noise, '80s and '90s stuff, occasional interviews, maybe some prank calls, etc. Music and stuff for people who don't suck!

Also, check out the brand new "Sporadic Rocknroll Mix Tapes > No Rocknroll Mix Tapes" shirts, plus new stickers with April Nash's cassette design from 01x08 on albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com, along with action shots from ARNRMT subscribers!

This month: Yes, the mix tapes are officially monthly (at least for now)--this month's Side A is just fast, fun, bullshit-free rocknroll, same as usual, featuring easily my personal favourite Bosom Divine song, along with more from Dirty Mouth, The Knits, Old Neighbors, etc. // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and use the Next/Prev. buttons to flip around.// albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com// albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
This week's Side B is just a whole lot of goddamn Swearin'! I got to meet up with them (Allison Crutchfield, Kyle Gilbride, returning champion Jeff Bolt, and, although he decided not to join the interview, Keith Spencer) when they came to Vancouver a week or two ago now, and we hung out for a while at the Biltmore before they went on. We talked about how they all met and got started playing music, Bay Area burritos, annoying questions, Batman, and more! Bonus--their full live set (minus the first song they played, unfortunately) is up right after the interview! // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for more info., and use the Next/Prev. buttons to flip around.// surfingstrange.com// swearin.bandcamp.com// swearinnyc.tumblr.com// albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com// albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
This week: It's the start of Series 4, so there's some catching up to do first, and then both Sides A and B to get to! (Side A: Spanish rock, punk rock, odd rock, thrash rock; just lots of rocknroll, the usual!) // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and use the Next/Prev. buttons to flip around.// albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com// albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
Okay, Side B of the 'Back with Bonus Shit' tape(s?): Brand new Swearin', classic old Mean Jeans, the now-truly-immortal Lou Reed, more Cake, plus an explanation of where the fuck I've been. Stay tuned for special guests next week!// As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and use the Next/Prev. buttons to flip around.// albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com// albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com

This week: The unceremonious and interview-free end of Series 3, featuring (mostly) Stupid Bag Records bands! Jeff Bolt (Swearin', Radiator Hospital, more) is the dude behind Stupid Bag, and he recently sent the podcast some goodies, so this week's tape has some of my favourites in the mix (Dead Dog, Bad Energy, Waxahatchee, and, of course, Radiator Hospital). Get the physical releases and plenty of other Stupid Bag/Radiator Hospital/Swearin' shit at stupidbagrecords.tumblr.com!// As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and use the Next/Prev. buttons to flip around.// stupidbagrecords.tumblr.com// albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com// albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
This week: It's just one special guest after another lately--this week's being Marissa Paternoster of the Screaming Females (also Noun)! I mean, goddamn, regular listeners know I fucking love me some Screaming Females, and they're on tour in the U.S. and Canada right now, so don't fuck up: go see them if you can. There's tour dates and everything at the links below, and pics + bonus videos up on the ARNRMT tumblr.// As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for more info., and use the Next/Prev. buttons to flip around.// screamingfemales.com// forgottengrin.tumblr.com// albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com// albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
This week: Special guests Matt Johnson and Jay McCarroll, also known as Nirvana the Band! Nirvana the Band the Show was a webseries from 2007-09 that the two produced and subsequently gained a lot of attention for; now Jay McCarroll plays in bands such as Singapore, as well as composing film scores, and Matt Johnson's new film The Dirties is being released Oct. 4, and so we met up for lunch and discussed it all.

This... holy shit, where the fuck did I go? Well, I've got another pile of tapes to unload, and the time to do so again; welcome back. This week: Brand new Aye Nako, way old Death by Nostalgia, and more of the usual suspects to kick off a fresh batch of tapes. // More to come soon, and as always, just tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist. Also the prev./next buttons for, y'know. // albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.combr // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
This week: Two bonus tapes on the weekend, apparently! Nah, I actually felt kinda weird just doing a bonus tape of a current band's full album (so BUY Merry Christmas' music, too, links are on the tumblr!), but I figured another quick bonus tape of an older and lesser-known album would balance the scales. From 1996, it's Salmonblaster's first and only full album (Self-Titled), which you can also download courtesy of the Chatham Music Archives and CHRW 94.9 FM--links are on the tumblr! And Seamus McThirteen on Wednesday! // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and just use the Prev./Next buttons to switch between songs. // albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
This week: There was no tape, that's how late it ran! So here's a last-minute bonus, featuring one of Jeff's recommendations from last week's interview. Because that was a damn good recommendation. Check out Merry Christmas on PRTYNGG! Records, links are up on the tumblr. Next week: Seamus McThirteen of Not Yer Buddy Records! // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and just use the Prev./Next buttons to switch between songs. // albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
This week: The tape is late! But after the 4/20 bonuses, I'm not feeling all that guilty about it, really. And as mentioned during said bonuses, our (read: my) mystery guest this week is Jeff Bolt, drummer for Swearin'! Regular listeners should know by now that I haven't stopped dancing my fucking balls off to Swearin' since Feb., no matter what else happens to be going on around me, so I managed to wrangle one of them into the podcast via Skype. We talked about Swearin' (obviously), other projects all four band members have on the go, the 4/20 report from NYC, and Christmas. (Links for Swearin' and everything else we talked about in the interview are up on albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com) // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for more info., and just use the Prev./Next buttons to switch between songs. // albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com // swearin.bandcamp.com // salinasrecords.com // stupidbagrecords.tumblr.com
This 4/20: Two mix tapes to play while hittin' the bong and the Mario Kart (or whatever) this 4/20 weekend! This is the second one: the first video edition of the podcast! Nerd note: This is the low-quality version, cause the full 1080p version is over 3GB, so I didn't want people with crap connections who have subscribed on their iPhones to have to deal with some huge ass automatic 3GB+ download. If you want the full 1080p version, it's on the tumblr (see link below--full playlist is also on the tumblr). // albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
This 4/20: Two mix tapes to play while hittin' the bong and the Mario Kart (or whatever) this 4/20 weekend! This is the first one, just a bunch of sweet, chill rocknroll, and the second one is the first video edition of the podcast! // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and just use the Prev./Next buttons to switch between songs. // albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
This week: I'm back! With a fast, fun, underground (but also with Pinhead Gunpowder), bullshit-free rocknroll mix tape. A tape like the cool kids used to make. You know the drill. // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and just use the Prev./Next buttons to switch between songs. // albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
This week: The end of Series 2! With bands I played through the series, plus Devo and The Distillers, for some reason. // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and just use the Prev./Next buttons to switch between songs. // albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
This week: Remember when you actually made for real mix tapes, and you'd start out with one idea for a theme to a tape, but by the time it was done, it was a whole other tape? That happened this week. With!: Monks, Old Neighbors, Flashing Lights, Pure, and more! // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and just use the Prev./Next buttons to switch between songs. // albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
This week: I have been goddamn busy lately doing one of the least fun things possible: editing raw HTML. Yup, even in the year 2013, some shit-tiny sites still prefer simple raw HTML over huge, glossy, hi-res-image-heavy layouts that cause inconsistent load times and experiences depending on what browser/platform you use, and--fuck I need to get my head out of site design horseshit. This week!: Back to basics--Screaming Females, two for one, plus Thee Headcoatees, Avengers, and The Jesus Mary Chain. // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and skip songs using the Next/Prev. Chapter buttons. // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com // albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com
This week: Noises! Some punk and power-pop, too, but mostly experimental noise and garagey lo-fi stuff for a change, with songs from Anisette's Froot Salud EP acting as an anchor through the mix. // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and skip songs using the Next/Prev. Chapter buttons. // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com // albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com
This week: With great snow and rain and slush comes... Great Thunder. Well, not really. I dunno. Also this week: The Inbreds, classic '80s Reagan Youth, and more Swearin'! // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, and skip songs by going forward or back by chapter! // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
This week: Less punk stuff, but more Carbonas (life always needs more Carbonas), plus the songs I should've used last week around Valentine's, all from The Giraffes. // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist! // albiesrocknrollmixtapes.tumblr.com // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
This week: More punk, this time with ska! I also complain about the new Screaming Females album, and we end it all with a soda (just the big one). // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist! // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
This week: The new shit is Swearin'--all they've put out so far is a demo and one self-titled album, but I am obsessed with this already-nearly-infallible Brooklyn pop-punk outfit, and cannot stop dancing wildly to both records (although the demo is a tape). And if you've listened to more than one of these podcasts, you can already tell what happens when I get obsessed with a band--so this week has three Swearin' songs! Plus Carbonas, Home Blitz, Bikini Kill, etc. Back to the pop and punk for the people! // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist! // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
This week: I'm already fucking annoyed with that show Girls! Nobody can live with this crazy bitch! This week: Canucknroll, Ruskinroll, and Beethoven! Also Kid Dynamite, etc., y'know. // As always, tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist! // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
This week: I got sucked into that HBO show Girls, too; I know, I know, and I'm not that big of a Judd Apatow fan, really, but the mom from Freaks and Geeks is in it, and I fucking loved me some Freaks and Geeks, and--uh, right, okay, sorry. This week!: 60snroll, thrashnroll, garagenroll, and some kinda weirdnroll, too! Tap Now Playing on your iThing for the playlist, or if you're listening on a real computer and can't see the playlists, you can always get them at: tinyurl.com/albieonotherstuff // albielovesrocknroll@gmail.com
This week: Some darker rocknroll, some '90snroll, some unreleased Choking Victimnroll, you get the picture. Also, if you listen on an iPhone or iPad, you may or may not have noticed that you can skip through the last two tapes song by song, in addition to just letting it play through; this will continue to be a handy feature with every coming tape!
