In episode four of the new podcast from Electronic Sound magazine, founders Mark Roland and Push discuss Harry Styles and his new-ish song ‘Aperture’, and the unlikely source where some of its inspiration may have come from, leading to a chat about The Stranglers, Elastica, the Manic Street Preachers, Wire, Oasis, Neil Innes, Radiohead, The Fall and Spinal Tap. They also dissect Record Store Day 2026 and mine it for the releases they’re interested in, My Bloody Valentine’s ‘Loveless’ with the original Creation press release, while also touching on counter-culture roots of synthesist Suzanne Ciani, and much more besides.
It’s All About Vinyl is a podcast about records and the stories that cling to them. Each episode explores the history, culture and happy accidents behind recorded music, from spinning speeds and forgotten formats to music magazines, charts and the people who shaped how we listen.
It’s a chatty, curious look at vinyl and the analogue world around it: part music history, part trivia, part conversation. Whether you’re a serious collector, a casual listener, or someone who’s ever said “I’ve got that on vinyl”, this is a show about why records still matter – and why they always will.
