Theme for #blueskyartshow today is #flowing. Sunset somewhere in the Pacific Ocean shot at the waterline. #gopro #video #westcoastkin

Now spinning King Buffalo, Regenerator. Very nice pressing on white vinyl. These dudes bring a lot of sound! #musicsky #vinylsky #stonerrock #vinylcommunity

Now spinning Three Man Army Two from Three Man Army. British power trio. 1974. Hits all the early 70s blues, psych, prog buttons. Lucky to find this pristine 1st UK pressing. #vinylcommunity #vinylsky #musicsky

Obviously, this is all unconstitutional. But what i find most depressing about our current moment is the degree to which higher ed admin has simply rolled over. Anyway, happy to no longer be there, but I feel for the folks still fighting.

Now spinning guns N' Roses, Appetite for Destruction. Some kind of EU reissue on 180g. Once upon a time, this was my go-to cassette for bombing down a Montana trail on a Rockhopper. #vinylsky #musicsky #vinylcommunity #gnr

Now spinning, The Clash, London Calling. 2013 reissue. A good pressing, i think, though never an audiophile record. But what a way to usher in the 1980s. Now, these guys would've been a great show. #vinylsky #musicsky #vinylcommunity

Now spinning Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mother's Milk. 1st pressing, direct metal master from Europe in near mint. A great find! #vinylsky #musicsky ##vinylcommunity

Cloudy skies over the back deck cleared off equipment and cargo. Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. #blueskyartshow #wood #photography #westcoastkin #maritime

#blueskyartshow theme for today in #wood. Drift wood log on the shore of Puget Sound in Washington. #photography #westcoastkin

Now spinning Mahavishnu Orchestra, The Inner Mounting Flame. This shit is so heavy. Makes me think of King Crimson, Red, which came out 3 years later. #musicsky #vinylsky #vinylcommunity

BOOM!! Seahawks!

Now spinning, Jimi Hendrix, Electric Ladyland for the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX! Go Hawks!! #vinylcommunity #musicsky #vinylsky #superbowlLX

Now spinning Billy Joel's Glass Houses. I loved this album cover as a kid, always intrigued by the lives implied here. #Billyjoel #vinylsky #musicsky #vinylcommunity

The existence of these implies the existence of Phenomen-O’s

For the theme of #sunlight in this week's #blueskyartshow, here is a sunset along the Washington coast. #photography #westcoastkin #pacificocean

Now spinning Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane. A reissue from 2013 of this pivotal work. I can only imagine what it must've been like to hear this stuff live at The Five Spot Café in 1957. #vinylcommunity #musicsky #jazz #vinylsky

Now spinning Lambrini Girls, Who Let the Dogs Out. My wife seems to be into punk rock these days. A fine spin! #vinylsky #musicsky #vinylcommunity #cuntology101

Now spinning David Bowie, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. A 2012 remaster of this classic. I think the pressing is pretty good. Never saw Bowie. That must have been one hell of a show. #vinylcommunity #musicsky #vinylsky #glamrock

Out in the Fernglade, spinning Nirvana, Nevermind! Go #seahawks! #vinylcommunity #musicsky #vinylsky #nowspinning #nfc

Greenland from 35,000 feet. A land that belongs to the people who live there. I hope to see it closer someday. #blueskyartshow #cold #Photography

Now spinning Leonard Cohen, I'm Your Man, from '88. I first heard of him around that time when I headed off to college. Better late than never! "You loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win." #vinylcommunity #musicsky #vinylsky #80s #cocktails

Now spinning Sleep's Holy Mountain. Foundational stoner doom! Extra heavy metal! Nothing like a Thursday. #vinylcommunity #vinylsky #musicsky #stoner

Now spinning John Prine's debut. An incredible, must have album. "We blew up our TV/ Threw away our paper/ Went to the country/ Built us a home." #musicsky #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #johnprine

Mississippi fiddle and guitar duo the Nations Brothers (Shelton on fiddle, and Marshall on guitar) recorded 10 songs for ARC in Jackson, MS in October 1935. Session data now online. adp.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/ma...

Now spinning this 1st pressing of Boston's debut. The cover is worn, but is graced by these magnificent hype stickers and the original K-Mart price of $4.67! I remain puzzled by the bar code on the shrink. But that might've been added by a later reseller. #vinylcommunity #vinylsky #musicsky

Now spinning an early 1st-ish (late 78/early 79) pressing of Van Halen's debut. I grew up listening to this on cassette and I gotta say, this first run vinyl is the way to go. #vinylsky #musicsky #vanhalen #vinylcommunity

#nowspinning a 1st pressibg of Captain Beyond's debut. A pristine copy of this great prog/space (or whatever) rock album from '72 formed from members of Deep Purple, Iron Butterfly, and Johnny Winter. Found at Beat Box Records in San Diego. A great selection there! #vinylsky #musicsky

Home from the boat and spinning Bright Eye's I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning. A great album from 2005. I think of that opening track every time I fly home. #nowspinning #vinylsky #musicsky

Christmas on the boat. Far from home. #holiday. #blueskyartshow. #photography

Right, I am off work (yes some of us "soldiered" on during Christmas), so got some time to put down coherent thoughts on a range of events. First of all, the Trumpian battleship. Which as part of Trump's "Golden Fleet" even got its (her) own website. 🧵 www.goldenfleet.navy.mil

For ##blueskyartshow #openhouse, I have this photo of Starbuck from about 6 weeks ago. Looking forward to getting home and seeing how he's grown! #photography #blackandwhite #westcoastkin #dogsofbluesky

My wife is now going through this picture by picture muttering obscenities with the occasional gasp and I’m pretty sure she just denied God

I think this is a pretty good choice, and I applaud the Dems who risked the ire of Bluesky and voted for him. Will he crash and burn? Who knows? But Trump could've nominated a bucket of fried chicken. Isaacman is a space guy and believes in that future.

Astronomers have discovered a bizarre lemon-shaped exoplanet orbiting a dense, rapidly spinning dead star. But those details are perhaps the least weird thing about it. Latest in @sciam.bsky.social! www.scientificamerican.com/article/scie...

You might start with learning about the basics of household economics for the majority of humans who have ever lived, which is to say pre-modern peasant farmers: acoup.blog/2025/07/11/c...

Owning physical media is the best, but I stream a lot too! And I completely agree with the sentiment here. Haven't used Spotify in years. Qobuz is the best quality, but I do like Tidal's discovery algorithm. Both are light-years better than the alternatives.

This can't possibly be real.

Harry Dean Stanton. Obviously.

teams should lose the designated hitter when the starting pitcher leaves the game

If they have the will to actually do it, it'll be great for the industry. (Also, did a deckie write this?)

I get adequate shore leave and feel pretty lucky in that regard, but so many mariners don't. They deserve better.

Spinning Zep III and bringing order out of chaos out here in the Fernglade. Only executive decision on alphabetization was to stick Abba's Greatest behind Alice in Chains. #vinylsky #musicsky #vinylcommunity #nowspinning

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground. "That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks. "It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.
