the vines

Wines: Uco's Playground Rosé, GSM Blend & Malbec
Guest: Michael Evans, The Vines

What does a political strategist facing burnout do? Go on vacation, of course! Michael Evans did just that in the early aughts after serving on several stressful presidential campaigns. His trip to Argentina was transformational and led him to the creation of The Vines.

The Vines is wine tourism at its best - allowing participants to enjoy some of the world's best wine destinations  while providing the opportunity to work with incredible winemakers to make their own wine - talk about a great souvenir!!!

Sound intriguing? Listen to learn how Michael parlayed his own incredible vacation experience into a worldwide wine tourism business featuring properties and experiences in Argentina, Spain, Champagne, Italy and more!

Welcome, all y’all to 2021 Halloween creepy week #4! The boys slick back their hair and get downright greasy in this latest slab of creepy crawlin’ rock n’ roll earworms. We’re going to the barbershop to hang out with the corpses and zombies and talk all things hot rods, pin-ups, horror, and rock n’ roll!

What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection; an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. Robert is forced to test his endurance and provide feedback, as he has no idea what he will be subjected to every week. Our hope is that we turn you on to something that was lost on your ears, or something you've simply forgotten about, or that (in our opinion) should have been the next big thing.

Songs this week include:

1. The Living End – “Stay Away From Me” from It’s For Your Own Good (1995)
2. The Tomb Tones – “My Girlfriend’s A Zombie” from Pumpkin Guts (2020) 
3. Tiger Army – “What Happens?” from III. Ghost Tigers Rise (2004)
4. Nekromantix – “I’m A Hellcat” from Return Of The Loving Dead (2002)
5. Mourning Noise – “Monster Madness” from Mourning Noise (2021)
6. HorrorPops – “Misstake” from Hell Yeah (2004)
7. The Independents – “Death Notice” from Back From The Grave (2002)
8. The Cramps – “Gabageman” from Bad Music For Bad People (1980)
