Trip Thru The #Vinyl Collection, Day 164: Deacon Blue, Oooh Las Vegas. A set of B-sides, I was excited to find it in Madrid a few months ago. But B-sides are what they are, and it all feels a little haphazard. Love the band, tho. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than: Tesla Southwest Disney Live Nation HP United PayPal CVS Health Palantir Citigroup PG&E 3M That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax. It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

Trip Thru The #Vinyl Collection, Day 163: Celine Dion, Let's Talk About Love. All the hits you know, so go see TITANIQUE, the hilarious Broadway jukebox musical of her songs that also asks: what if Celine had been a PASSENGER on the Titanic? #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky

Trip Thru The #Vinyl Collection, Day 162: Celine Dion, Mélanie. In truth, I'm not a Dion fan, my husband is. But wow, these early Quebecois discs! This, her sixth LP, won Album of the Year at Canada's 1985 Felix Awards. Hunt it down, it's so worth it. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

Welcome home, Artemis II 🇺🇸

The yelling usher, the aggressive loudspeaker commands to power down phones (15 minutes before showtime), the mandatory stickers on phone cameras, the rude front of house...is this the most audience-unfriendly show in Broadway history? (Hint: 48th b/w 6th and Broadway.) #dobetter #Broadway #service

Trip Thru The #Vinyl Collection, Day 161: Celine Dion, Les chemins de ma maison. Visiting Quebec last week, I was able to pick up two early French-language albums by Ms. Dion. Charming, vocally perfect art songs. I'm gonna treasure these. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords

Survivor 50 has finally broken me of my Covid-era renewed interest in the show. There's no real conflict, just endless jawing about gameplay, by and for people with an exhaustive recall of past seasons. The tribal councils have turned into long dull talk shows about how great Survivor is. I'm out.

Trip Thru The #Vinyl Collection, Day 160: Phyllis Diller, Are You Ready. A foundational recording for women in comedy. The times were what they were, but Phyllis walked so comedians like Margaret Cho, Nikki Glaser, Nicole Byer and Ali Wong could run. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords

Recent #Vinyl Additions, Day 159: The Cure, Disintegration. Elegiac, despondent, and magisterial, this is for me the band's finest moment. The somber mood captured what it felt like to be GenX at the time, love and pain intertwined. Genius work. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords

Thank you Sen. Warnock for laying it plain.

Trump wants $1,500,000,000,000.00 for his military budget. The largest spending increase since World War II. But affordable health care was too expensive.

We will soon only have one in four Americans supporting this administration. The tide is turning.

Recent #Vinyl Additions, Day 158: The Colourfield, Virgins and Philistines. An odd affair: this European vinyl includes different tracks and order than the U.S. It's interesting but scattered. You can feel the band searching for their eventual sound. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords

Recent #Vinyl Additions, Day 157, The Colourfield, Deception. Terry Hall's post-Fun Boy 3 combo has a quiet melancholy underpinning some Costello-like pop hooks. I could listen to "Miss Texas 1967" on a loop forever. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday

So excited!

Virginia: early voting for the redistricting amendment is happening now through April 18. Protect your voting power and help level the playing field ahead of the midterm elections by voting YES today or on Election Day, April 21.

Recent #Vinyl Additions, Day 156, Cocteau Twins, Four-Calendar Cafe. Such a rich and varied set from the Cocteaus...is this their best album? There are edges and surprises in this material that keep me thinking about it. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday

Recent #Vinyl Additions, Day 155: Belinda Carlisle, Heaven On Earth. Forgot how solid this LP is: well-conceived pop production, clever orchestrations, and even a lyrical comedic wink here and there. A charming listen. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday

Last week: no troops on the ground in Iran. This week:....... www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Saw this over the weekend, and feel it's that rare play that is both timeless and timely. Worth seeing, especially for the phenomenal John Lithgow and the equally sharp Aya Cash.

Recent #Vinyl Additions, Day 155: Brother Beyond, Trust. After being a part of the SAW Hit Factory, BB left to write their own songs and to be the British NKOTB. It sadly didn't happen. They disbanded soon after this release. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday

Just a heads up that when the time comes, I am not going to "be better than" this post. Expect confetti.

As a Marine platoon leader in Vietnam, Mueller was shot and later returned to lead his platoon after his recovery. He received a Bronze Star for valor, a Purple Heart, 2 Navy/Marine Commendation medals, Republican of Vietnam Cross of Valor, and numerous other medals.

One of the best of all time, a perfect mix of song, performer, and moment.

Recent #Vinyl Additions, Day 154, The Bible, Self-Titled. Bored one day in the pandemic, I stumbled upon this 80s UK band I'd never heard of, even as a kid who read #StarHits obsessively. Rich folk/blues/pop that reminds me of The Sundays. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky

If someone secretly goes through your phone, they've already proven their inability to be in an adult relationship based on trust and consent. You're better off without them imo. www.theatlantic.com/family/2026/...

Recent #Vinyl Additions, Day 153, The Beautiful South, Welcome To. Sweet, disarming melodies with sharp, political lyrics is a frequent combo in the history of popular music, but few did it quite so cheekily as these Brits. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday

Not at all surprised. People know propaganda when they hear it. Switched to David Muir after Nora O'Donnell left and have never been happier.

Recent #Vinyl Additions, Day 152: Basia, London Warsaw New York. Her sophomore solo LP built upon the jazz-meets-club sound, but for me the unequaled peak here is the frantic samba of "Copernicus," which also serves as a call to globalism. Exquisite. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords

Recent #Vinyl Additions, Day 151: Basia, Time and Tide. Huge at the time but mostly forgotten today, Basia was compared to Sade, Grace Jones and Astrud Gilberto. The European promo sticker doesn't include the title track, which went to #1. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky

“Melania” to receive FIFA Academy Award for Best Picture

Recent #Vinyl Additions, Day 150: Bananarama, Deep Sea Skiving. Their debut is a far cry from their later dance-pop; full of ska references and London posings, it also nods to their musical doula Terry Hall and Fun Boy 3. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday

Recent #Vinyl Additions, Day 149: Burt Bacharach & Elvis Costello, The Songs Of. Mostly an expanded reissue of their superb Painted From Memory album, this is a #Top25OfAllTime for me. Every song rips my heart out. Two masters of the craft. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky

35 years ago today, Pet Shop Boys released their hit medley of U2's “Where the streets have no name" and Frankie Valli's "I can’t take my eyes off you" as a double A-side single which also included the PSB song "How can you expect to be taken seriously?". #OnThisDay #PetShopBoys #U2 #FrankieValli

Things you should never do to introverts: 1. Show up to our homes unexpectedly. 2. Interrupt our recharge time. 3. Invite people to the outing without telling us. 4. Call us right after we texted you. 5. Ask us “why are you so quiet?”

We have successfully bombed a school, gotten 7 soldiers killed, disrupted the world economy, and replaced an 86 year-old supreme leader with his much younger, more hardline son who is more committed to building nuclear weapons. Operation Middle East Wing is all but complete. by Donald J. Trump

Recent #Vinyl Additions, Day 148: The B-52s, Party Mix. An early attempt at a remix album, with extended plays of tracks from their first two albums. Amusing enough, but I'd probably default to the originals, were I to throw said party. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky

Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.

Recent #Vinyl Additions, Day 147: Aztec Camera, Knife. Hunted down this rarity at #DiscosBanglaDesh in Madrid, and it doesn't disappoint. Roddy Frame's songwriting is melodic and upbeat while also sagely political. He makes being a progressive...fun? #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords

Recent #Vinyl Additions, Day 146: Arcadia, So Red The Rose. Of the bands created in the Great Duran Duran Split of '85, Arcadia has aged the best, I think. The art-rock pretensions have acquired a swoony, campy flavor that makes for a great listen. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords

Last 14 months of Biden's term: +1.74m jobs First 14 months of Trump's term: 150,000 jobs (total! for the whole 14 months!) www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Recent #Vinyl Additions, Day 145: Alphaville, Forever Young. I've never really been into Alphaville, even in their heyday. Too cold, too esoteric. But, it was in the bargain bin...so I gave it a whirl. And guess what? I'm STILL not into Alphaville. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords

Recent #Vinyl Additions, Day 144: Marc Almond, The Stars We Are. Both with Soft Cell and in his solo material, Marc is, I believe, our era's Edith Piaf: a brilliant storyteller as well as vocalist, with camp and whimsy invading the pathos. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky

Recent #Vinyl Additions, Day 143: Adeva, New Direction. It took two MONTHS for this LP, the last from the Queen Of House, to get through customs. SO worth the wait. Can't wait for her comeback live album later this year. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday
