Oddity Archive
Season 6
Episodes
1. How I Spent My Summer IV (Ben Vs. Laserdisc Audio & Turntable Tune-up)
12 inches of Archivian goodness!
2. Record Ripoffs Vol. 7 (Revenge of the 70's!)
What’cha doin’ on your rump? Hopefully, you’re watching this episode!
3. Elvis Has(n't) Left The Building (Elvisploitation)
A King-sized episode for a King-sized anniversary. Of course, we can't play any actual Elvis, so let's look at some of the cash-ins based around the man.
4. Tape Baking (A Quasi-Documentary on Sticky-Shed Syndrome)
A cooking show—Archive style.
5. LaserKaraoke Vol. 5 (+ assorted VHS & VCD Karaoke)
New from Sing Alone Video!
6. Playtape & Aroma Disc (or, The Anti-Audiophile Files)
I was burning incense on not-quite vinyl (while listening to Playtapes) before you were. Take that, hipsters.
7. As Seen On TV! (Mail-Order & Infomercial-Style Commercials)
This offer will expire without notice! Order now!
8. Ben's Palm PDA's (& Camera "Spy" Glasses)
A double (if not triple) dose of failure. You know you love it.
9. "Telecine" Film Transfer (A Nightmare In Celluloid) (Halloween Special 2017)
The scariest (in the existentialist sense, at least) Archive Halloween to date!
10. VHS Vault Vol. 12 (Child Safety Videos)
Let’s reminisce about the great bully/child abductor epidemic of the ‘90’s.
11. The Max Headroom Incident Revisited (30 Years On)
The Archive returns to its deepest roots (largely because it was convenient).
12. Dynagroove & Friends (Vinyl Oddities)
Oddity Archive® Vinyl: Now 50% lighter and with 50% more foreign debris!
13. Christmas Special 2017 (Ben's Christmas Clunkers)
Broken equipment, bad records and loopy videos—in other words, your standard Archive Christmas.
14. Phoney Nostalgia
No fees! No contracts! No service! Dial 1-800 ARCHIVE and save 0%!
15. Ben's Random Audiocassette Haul #2
More hissy (and at times, indecipherable) goodness from the deepest, darkest depths of the Archive.
16. Ben's Music "Career", Vol. 1 (The Outsider years, Pt. 1)
Bring your earplugs! And, no, this isn’t false modesty—these recordings are pretty harsh (in every meaning of the word).
17. Dolby Noise Reduction (The Hard Way)
This is what happens when Benny-boy’s control-freak tendencies get the best of him. Honestly, it’s not too terrible. Shame the product is mediocre.
18. Laserdisc, Vinyl & Cassette Computer Programs
The Archive sets sail for the United Kingdom in search of some unusual computer storage and sharing methods—we weren’t disappointed.
19. VHS Vault Vol. 13 (Movin' Out)
No Billy Joel songs were harmed in the making of this episode.
20. Silent-Era Talking Pictures
These talking pictures will never catch on…come to think of it, these didn’t.
21. Vinyl Potpourri
Funny how a little kiddie music, a little commercialism and a heaping helping of Easy Listening stewed in someone’s garage for 40+ years equals such a lovely sonic bouquet.
22. Loudness Wars
Finally! An Archive episode with true A E S T H E T I C S!
23. Ben Vs. The Reel-To-Reel (Round 2)
…because the first reel-to-reel worked so well.
24. Local Flavor (Part 1: Nostalgia)
The Archive is getting ready to leave Beautiful Downtown Aurora. Better look at some of our local stuff before we go.
25. Local Flavor (Part 2: Anti-Nostalgia)
Let’s close our Beautiful Downtown Aurora years without any tears (maybe).
