The odd things that come up in the YouTube algorithm...

Just learned today that I make an appearance in this one.

(Fun fact, Carole submitted 3 additional stories to Anada that aren't in this video.)

I put my overly-loved Brazil copy of Broken thru the WaterShakyMachine(tm) to see if I could make it slightly less well-loved-sounding #vinylsky #nowspinning

IT IS EERIE HOW CLEAN IT IS it actually feels wrong. VG-/G+ to VG+ legit

I even walked to the venue and back, christ lmao

It was like asking for the world's biggest favor on earth to get my mom to drive me to the radio station to pick up the tickets too

you know what though, in retrospect, this says a lot about boomers as parents -> boomers today

Some interesting thoughts after Ace Frehley's passing. My first concert was KISS. I think I won the tickets on the radio. I still have the stub! But I went with my friends, alone, age 13

Laugh at the trope about Gen X feral kids, but srsly you'd get arrested for letting your kids do that now lol

I remember they came through my hometown in Iowa a couple of times in the early/mid 90s, but I never did catch them. I was a kid with a babysitting budget hah

Husband's out, play deep cut favorites #vinylsky #nowspinning

Truly a shame this never got a re-press so it's tough to find on vinyl. The mix on this live acoustic set is out of this world. Never mind Tesla being terribly underrated.

Hey Bluesky, these are mushrooms. It's not adult content (ignore the green titty demon) #vinylsky #nowspinning

Old Leprous is hitting so well right now. "Forced Entry" is my absolute favorite on this one, check it out on streaming or wherever. I promise you it's worth it

gloomy @gloomchen.bsky.social · 5d

Yeah it's time for one of my favorite albums that I can't remember the last time I played, for some reason #vinylsky #nowspinning

Opeth is fantastic to provide extra gloom which... oh hey, I'm gloom! thanks guys

gloomy @gloomchen.bsky.social · 5d

Why not keep playing records with covers that may trigger adult content filters lmao #vinylsky #nowspinning

My sister was a Pantera superfan when we were kids, but I was the one old enough to go to shows. I saw them open for Skid Row in '92 lol

@teekaymn.bsky.social I was told to send you this lol

TITTY STATUE OF DOOM #vinylsky #nowspinning

I don't listen to this much & now I remember why. Not the strongest in MDB's catalog. But we wanted doom. So doom, we shall.

gloomy @gloomchen.bsky.social · 6d

We'll spin an inherited album from my dad who spun this when I was a kid and also I mentioned this anecdote when entering a contest for tickets to the upcoming tour lol #vinylsky #nowspinning

sidebar, I'm really hearing the new stylus breaking in. Bass soo thiccc

In case you haven't had the MOST AMAZING chance to look at the lyrics sheet for this album. I present a sample

gloomy @gloomchen.bsky.social · 6d

Can the first 2 Galactic Cowboys albums get vinyl represses please? #vinylsky #nowspinning

I play my OG 1991 europress far too often, and I want Space In Your Face. Please please I need a copy that doesn't cram 60 min onto 2 sides and also Where Are You Now on wax.

DO IT ALREADY

How not to get followers or clout: pull out one of your favorite blues rock/slightly prog albums from 1992 that was simply wrong for its time #vinylsky #nowspinning

Is this on streaming? If it is, plz give Collision's s/t a chance. There are a few misses but "Things" is my favorite

gloomy @gloomchen.bsky.social · 6d

Awkward angles because of Reflective album covers making weird light blobs #vinylsky #nowspinning

Did Ray of Light a week or 2 ago, not purposely in prep for the remix but it didn't hurt.

My cat did not enjoy me singing along with Ray of Light 😭

I think I've heard A Fortune in Lies sung by James more than Charlie with all the live versions out there #vinylsky #nowspinning

Ngl this feels like playing Metal Rush 1989. Geddy couldn't crush this bass or these keys tho

gloomy @gloomchen.bsky.social · 12d

As I got a lecture on not making sure my husband was familiar with every song on the tour, lmao #vinylsky #nowspinning

I like this album way more than most DT fans, and that's fine. New Millennium and Peruvian Skies slap into the sun

Time for part 2 #vinylsky #nowspinning

I prefer Virus as it has more full-catalog callbacks and I eat that shit with a fork and knife. But also it's just too good

Waving hello to the 12 people who listen to Haken lol
