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...

US facing second measles surge this year as outbreak accelerates in South Carolina. www.cnn.com/2025/12/10/h...

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.

The #sky off the bow for #blueskyartshow. Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. #video #westcoastkin #sunset

Big Paychecks Can’t Woo Enough Sailors for America’s Commercial Fleet share.google/XQlrtRIRSwWr...

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.

Hard to imagine a more sinister & dangerous argument, couched in euphemism & high-minded language. "This essay does not argue liberalism will collapse, only that [US] military officers should be intellectually (and spiritually) prepared for alternatives." warontherocks.com/2025/10/the-...

Now spinning Porcupine Tree's Fear of a Blank Planet. A great pressing of this magnificent album. If you know Porcupine Tree then you know. If you don't know them, but you like Pink Floyd, then you need to find em! #vinylcommunity #musicsky #vinylsky #progrock

Now spinning a 45rpm pressing of Fleetwood Mac's Rumors. This is one of those must have albums in my opinion, and the 45rpm version is absolutely stellar. #vinylcommunity #musicsky #vinylsky #70s

New cairn terrier puppy here at the Fernglade. His name is Starbuck, after the 1st mate in Moby-Dick. Quite a lot of personality! Will miss him when I'm at sea. Sadly, he cannot join the crew. #dogsofbluesky #cairnterrier #toto

Now spinning Old and in the Way, an incredible album that in it's way kept bluegrass alive for popular audiences through the 70s and 80s. This is a deeply important record in the grand scope of human history. #vinylsky #musicsky #bluegrass #vinylcommuity #70s

Now spinning Neil Diamond's Hot August Night, one of the best live albums out there. What a show that must've been! The mofi is a great pressing and, for a mofi, not expensive. #vinylcommunity #vinylsky #musicsky #70s

Now spinning Michael Jackson's Thriller. Crate dive find. 1st pressing. NM. Cover still in the shrink, w/ "The Girl is Mine" hype sticker. One original price tag shows $8.98. Then it was marked down to $6.49. So, im guessing it was sold in '84. Sound is amazing. #vinylsky #musicsky #80s #80spop

Now spinning Paul Simon's Graceland. I think this might be the last truly perfect album from a 60s rock star/ pop star. There are plenty of great ones, dont get me wrong. Bowie's Blackstar? But Graceland was huge and spectacular and important. #vinylcommunity #vinylsky #musicsky #80s

Go Mariners!!!

Come on Mariners! Let's go!

Go Mariners!

Well, the Mariners lost, so there's nothing for it but to spin some Neil Young and pop a Rainier. Here's to Friday's game 5. #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #vinylsky #musicsky #Seattle

Now spinning this Nat Geo "Sounds of the World Recording" of sea shanties. Saw this at the record store and it was obviously coming home with me. Pristine condition! As if no one ever listened to it!?! If you need shanties (you do!) this is def a great option! #vinylcommunity #musicsky #vinylsky

Now spinning. Elvis Costello's debut. Clean early US pressing ('78-'80) with Watching the Detectives. I'm guessing this leaves the sound a bit thinner than the UK version, which I'd like to find. Probably makes a big difference here. #vinylcommunity #vinylsky #musicsky #newwave #elviscostello

Now spinning. Debut album from the Black Pumas. Hope these dudes come through Seattle again so I can see em! #vinylcommunity #musicsky #vinylsky #soul

Its quite disturbing seeing an otherwise intelligent man who has not grown or felt at all since he was a teenager, and who now occupies the summit of power.

Now spinning a mid 70s record club edition of Steely Dan's Can't Buy a Thrill. Great shape. Very listenable. But I'd love to find a better pressing. Saw them around '95 at the Gorge in WA. Best venue I've ever seen. #vinylcommunity #musicsky #vinylsky #70s #yachtrock (Yes, I know Fagen hates that)

Alien: Earth channels Blade Runner way too hard. Or maybe not hard enough. M. Emmet Walsh would make this show.
