Music (mostly vinyl, sometimes CDs) beer (usually craft) and LA Kings hockey. Let’s party…but only until about 10:30. SoCal based.
The holiday lights have returned to the media console and, as you can see, Nick Lowe is pretty excited about it.

Which reissue stood out from the ever-crowded sea of reissues this year for you? For me, its Underwater Moonlight from The Soft Boys. @robynhitchcock.bsky.social and the team at Tiny Ghost Records did an excellent job with this one.

Likely my last addition of 2025. 1970 US (Winchester) box set. Happy to finally have it in my collection. What an amazing set of songs.

Paying my respects to the legend. RIP Jimmy.

Been awhile since I’ve shown off this beauty. 1967 Allentown Pressing. Quite possibly the best $40 I’ve ever spent and 4 years ago it was the most I had spent on a record.

I have taken to generally just spinning side 2 of Surf’s Up. Do you have any records where you skip one side or the other?

Might spin 2 or 3 Elvis Costello albums in a row, starting with this one…

This one has been hovering around the top of my want list for a few years. Came across a beautiful 1980 US pressing for a very reasonable price and snatched it up. Essential post-punk. Great sounding pressing.

Is this a rainy day record? I’m not sure that it is, but it’s raining here in SoCal and it’s currently spinning.

After a few mellow spins to start the day, it’s time to ramp the energy up and get this Sunday Funday started.

Enjoying my favorite seasonal beer and a record for all seasons. My Saturday may be peaking too early.

Picked up a pretty clean original pressing of Fear of Music. Love the embossed jacket. Love the tunes.

Picked this up recently. Two great records in one convenient gatefold. This is a ‘73 pressing. Love this era of The Who.

I sometimes go far too long without spinning this one. Makes it that much sweeter when I do.

Still getting acquainted with this one. Lodger seems unique in that there are no discernible hit singles on it, which is rare for Bowie albums in this era.

This was really nowhere near my want list but I had to grab it. One of the best indie releases from the tail end of the aughts. It’s gonna get played a ton…

A beer and a Friday night spin of this recent pick up. I prefer the albums that came before this one but this is a fun listen nonetheless.
