Published on by 2loud2oldmusic7 Comments

We are excited to announce that this week’s episode has a very special guest and friend to 2 Loud 2 Old Music as we interview author Tim Durling. You know Tim from his YouTube channel, Tim’s Vinyl Confessions, and you will love it as we discuss his first book called ‘Unspooled: An Adventure in 8-Tracks’. The book walks through the 80’s where 8-Tracks were a dying breed but you could still buy them in those Record Club’s like Columbia House or RCA.

Tim has some great insight in to the 8-Tracks that were only available in these clubs and you will be surprised at some of those that you would’ve never thought were on that format, but they were. We show off some 8-Tracks in our collection and Tim has some rare ones. It is really cool to see. And find out the answer to the riveting questions…Who gave Tim the idea to do a book on 8-Tracks? Do either of us an 8-Track Player??? and many more…

Come join Tim Durling and I in this fantastic discussion on ‘Unspooled: An Adventure in 8-Tracks’ tonight at 8pm on April 22nd, 2024 on YouTube. Click the link below. Don’t forget to hit Subscribe and Like and please leave a comment. Thanks and have great day!!

Episode 46:  Down For the Count with Tim Durling and Friends

The very first Y&T book is out!  Down For the Count:  The Y&T Album Review is the name of the book, and you can get yours on Amazon right now.

Joining us this week is series regular, and now author of two books, Tim Durling!  Why Y&T?  Why a book about this band, and their discography?   It is true that Y&T never made the impact that they seemed destined for.  We’ll discuss this and much more:  the nuts and bolts of publishing a rock book and assembling the cast of characters who helped along the way.

Speaking of characters, co-hosting this week will be book contributors John T. Snow and Jex Russell.  How did they get involved, and what was their part to play?  How did Tim get Sean Kelly and Hugh Syme to contribute?  Find out tonight, and by all means pick up this excellent book today.

LIVE Friday January 5 at 8:00 P.M. E.S.T. / 9:00 P.M. Atlantic.   Enjoy on YouTube or on Facebook!

If you are a Y&T fan or you know a Y&T fan, this book is for you. My buddy, Tim Durling, has released his 2nd book which talks about all the Y&T albums. I received my copy and I can’t wait to dive and read it. If you need a great Christmas gift idea, this is it. Got to Amazon.com and buy a copy now. You won’t be disappointed. I mean, look at that cover…it is awesome. It was designed by the great Hugh Syme who is one of Canada’s premier graphic artist. You also have a forward by Sean Kelly who you know as the guitarist for Lee Aaron, Nelly Furtado, Helix and Crash Kelly to name a few.

And as a bonus, you get me, John T. Snow as one of the contributors to the book. What more could you want. Ok, you do get Martin Popoff, Pete Pardo, Mike Ladano and a ton of other great people which is probably a better reason, but you know, I’m not bad either!!!
