12 inches of Archivian goodness!

What’cha doin’ on your rump? Hopefully, you’re watching this episode!
E3 Elvis Has(n't) Left The Building (Elvisploitation)
unrated2017-08-03 · 35 min
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.
E4 Tape Baking (A Quasi-Documentary on Sticky-Shed Syndrome)
unrated2017-08-17 · 34 min
A cooking show—Archive style.

unrated2017-08-31 · 42 min
New from Sing Alone Video!
E6 Playtape & Aroma Disc (or, The Anti-Audiophile Files)
unrated2017-09-14 · 27 min
I was burning incense on not-quite vinyl (while listening to Playtapes) before you were. Take that, hipsters.

unrated2017-09-28 · 27 min
This offer will expire without notice! Order now!
E8 Ben's Palm PDA's (& Camera "Spy" Glasses)
unrated2017-10-12 · 28 min
A double (if not triple) dose of failure. You know you love it.
E9 "Telecine" Film Transfer (A Nightmare In Celluloid) (Halloween Special 2017)
unrated2017-10-26 · 31 min
The scariest (in the existentialist sense, at least) Archive Halloween to date!
E10 VHS Vault Vol. 12 (Child Safety Videos)
unrated2017-11-09 · 29 min
Let’s reminisce about the great bully/child abductor epidemic of the ‘90’s.
E11 The Max Headroom Incident Revisited (30 Years On)
unrated2017-11-22 · 21 min
The Archive returns to its deepest roots (largely because it was convenient).
E12 Dynagroove & Friends (Vinyl Oddities)
unrated2017-12-07 · 28 min
Oddity Archive® Vinyl: Now 50% lighter and with 50% more foreign debris!
E13 Christmas Special 2017 (Ben's Christmas Clunkers)
unrated2017-12-21 · 38 min
Broken equipment, bad records and loopy videos—in other words, your standard Archive Christmas.

unrated2018-01-04 · 21 min
No fees! No contracts! No service! Dial 1-800 ARCHIVE and save 0%!
E15 Ben's Random Audiocassette Haul #2
unrated2018-01-18 · 39 min
More hissy (and at times, indecipherable) goodness from the deepest, darkest depths of the Archive.
E16 Ben's Music "Career", Vol. 1 (The Outsider years, Pt. 1)
unrated2018-02-01 · 39 min
Bring your earplugs! And, no, this isn’t false modesty—these recordings are pretty harsh (in every meaning of the word).
E17 Dolby Noise Reduction (The Hard Way)
unrated2018-02-15 · 19 min
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.
E18 Laserdisc, Vinyl & Cassette Computer Programs
unrated2018-03-01 · 22 min
The Archive sets sail for the United Kingdom in search of some unusual computer storage and sharing methods—we weren’t disappointed.
E19 VHS Vault Vol. 13 (Movin' Out)
unrated2018-03-15 · 27 min
No Billy Joel songs were harmed in the making of this episode.
E20 Silent-Era Talking Pictures
unrated2018-03-29 · 22 min
These talking pictures will never catch on…come to think of it, these didn’t.
E21 Vinyl Potpourri
unrated2018-04-12 · 27 min
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.
E22 Loudness Wars
unrated2018-04-26 · 23 min
Finally! An Archive episode with true A E S T H E T I C S!
E23 Ben Vs. The Reel-To-Reel (Round 2)
unrated2018-05-10 · 22 min
…because the first reel-to-reel worked so well.
E24 Local Flavor (Part 1: Nostalgia)
unrated2018-05-24 · 30 min
The Archive is getting ready to leave Beautiful Downtown Aurora. Better look at some of our local stuff before we go.
E25 Local Flavor (Part 2: Anti-Nostalgia)
unrated2018-06-07 · 33 min
Let’s close our Beautiful Downtown Aurora years without any tears (maybe).
