Permanent Record Podcast

Brian and Sarah are your hosts for this look back at albums from the New Wave and Classic Rock genres-- albums which have earned a permanent spot in their record collection. The hosts start the discussion with a history of the album, followed by their personal history with it. Over the course of two episodes, they do a track-by-track review of the album and the videos that accompany the singles. They conclude by each giving the album a final review and rating of zero to five record adapters. Join Brian and Sarah in this fun look back at the hits-- along with some misses-- of the 70s and 80s!

Episode 195: In Conversation with Rob Rowe and Von Hertzog (VH x RR) – New EP “101”

Brian and Sarah are interrupting their current effort of looking back at Depeche Mode home video concert releases to bring you a terrific chat with Von Hertzog and Rob Rowe.

Von and Rob comprise the excellent synth duo VH x RR, who Brian has declared to be his “favorite new band of the 2020s.”

Since the completion of The Cosmos Trilogy—a series of three EPs that you should definitely check out, if you haven’t already—VH x RR has released a couple of singles here and there. But in this discussion, we learn that a new EP is set for an imminent release!

The EP is titled “101,” so of course the first question our hosts have for Von and Rob is regarding the title. That question is answered, along with many others—and along the way, there’s a lot of interesting discussion about science fiction movies, the current state of technology, which is the best Rocky movie, and recent music projects that both Von and Rob have been involved with, outside of VH x RR.

The revelation of the upcoming new EP should be reason enough to listen, but in case it’s not, there’s a minor announcement at the beginning of the episode, and another major announcement towards the end of the episode, that should surely entice you to download this episode immediately! Don’t delay; listen today!
