Things are better now but I’m still struggling. This music helped prolong my life. Not to mention the love & support of family & friends.

Julien Baker's 'Sprained Ankle' Turns 10

Jonathan Lee @beetlebump.bsky.social · 23h

This album & the follow-up, Turn Out the Lights helped me survive the deep emotional trauma I experienced in 2023. Car wreck, loss of job, bankruptcy, & the very real possibility of homelessness.

Julien Baker's debut album 'Sprained Ankle' came out 10 years ago today

She was a kid. That’s the first thing I think when I see the Sprained Ankle album cover today. It was probably the first thing I thought when I first saw that album cover in 2015. Baker was 19 years o...

It seems every week there's yet another article written about the resurgence of vinyl records. This has been going on for about five years and each subsequent article gives boost to the idea that not ...

Please help out if you are at all able to. If you are unable to please share Michele’s post far & wide. Below is the original article that led me to her work. It struck a chord with me because it’s pretty much exactly how I feel about vinyl. A few years ago, she updated it. I’ve also linked to that.

hi, an important IHTOV update. thank you for reading it.

I Have That on Vinyl is read/self funded. I pay $20 per essay because I believe in paying writers. No one should write for free. I realize $20 isn’t a lot, but it is the principle of the thing; being compensated for your efforts is important to me.

That said, $20 for each essay, with an average of 3-4 essays a week, adds up. I’m having a hard time keeping up with this, as I am on a fixed income. And this is where I ask you, the readers and fans of the incredible writing that goes into making IHTOV successful, to lend a hand.

If you love IHTOV, if you have read and enjoyed these wonderful essays, please consider leaving a tip so I can not only pay the writers, but pay for hosting and technical help (comments coming soon!). Any little bit helps, even five dollars.

We are almost at the year anniversary and I’m so happy to make it this far and be still going strong. I want to keep IHTOV going. The last thing I want to do is give it up because I’m out of funds. Who knows, maybe I’ll win Powerball this week and it won’t matter. Until then, any help is appreciated.

Up until the release of this boxset & Time Out of Mind a few years later I’d been more of a casual Dylan fan. I remember his TV special in the 70s didn’t do much for me & I gave my copy of Street Legal to one of my older brothers who I figured would enjoy it way more.

I’m guessing my fall connection comes from an R.E.M. cassette comp I made that year that received a massive amount of airplay in my car that fall. That, & perhaps the autumnal color scheme of the album artwork.

My favorite album to listen to during fall. So crisp, clear & fitting for this time of year, especially when listening full blast in the car with all the windows down. Recorded during winter/spring in London under less than ideal conditions & released in summer.

Earlier today I saw someone on Tik Tok say when they can’t find “official” lyrics to early R.E.M. songs on a website they’ll ask ChatGPT what they are.
