Episode 195: Andrew Turner
Andrew Turner of Andrew Turner Auctions sat down with me a handful of days ago, and we talked about some stuff.
Our Episode No. 195 conversation involved a little about growing up, family, life visions and the shifts therein, being a gigging musician, and so much more.
It's been a couple of weeks since an episode of Badass Records dropped, and -- yes -- most of that is associated with the craziness of the holidays, and I mention that to mention this: I hope that somewhere in the insanity of it all that you always have that feeling. And by "that feeling," I mean that moment that flitters in and out a few times every holiday season where you go, I'm happy to be on this planet with these people in this moment. It's really one of the few things left to us. That and being in nature and witnessing good acts.
This world is a weird one right now, and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to sit down and talk with people.
In talking with Andrew, I learned about his Web site, his social-media channels (YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and Threads). I learned about the grind behind his weekly auctions and the energy that goes into promoting them. I also learned about a few of Andrew's favorite albums. And those were these:
Richard Hell & The Voidoids' Blank Generation (1977)
Double Nickels on the Dime (1984), Minutemen
The Darkness' Permission to Land (2003)
The Black Parade (2006), My Chemical Romance
King Princess' Cheap Queen (2019)
Dragline (1992), PAW
I really enjoyed my chat with Andrew, and appreciate all that support the show. If you'd consider giving Andrew a follow on one (or other) of his situations, and think about attending one of his auctions, it'd make my 2026.
Cheers, everybody.
copyright disclaimer: It's too late for me to dial up the appropriate verbiage, but the simplest version of the message is that the audio samples in here aren't mine; they belong to the artist. That's always the case; I'm always only trying to put together a quality program and promote music. In this particular situation, I have borrowed a few snippets from Durand Jones & The Indications. The tune's called, "Love Will Work It Out," and it's one of the numbers off of his 2021 release, Private Space, which appears here (and everywhere) c/o Dead Oceans.
