Album of the Day Hey, the sun was out today. How unusual. I played the first side this morning, and now I am going to play the other while I put my e-bike back together...or try to at least. I do not think I have listened to their latest album yet. I should do... #nowspinning #vinylrecords

Shows coming up in Huntington WV and Columbus GA.

The tiniest act of kindness can save a life. Take nothing for granted. Life is fragile.

Album of the Day I am surprised I do not have more Allman Brothers records. They were my thing for a bit in the mid-90s, but I am musically fickle. An upside of CDs over LPs is that you can listen to "Mountain Jam" on a CD without the interruption. I need sleep... #vinylrecords #nowspinning

That Fed that Sean Dunn threw his sandwich at is going to have that follow him around in any quasi-law-enforcement position. "Hey, let's stop for lunch. You might want to put on your vest first."

Actually, I am NOT playing records lately but basking in silence. Maybe I will be in a better mood when the parts I ordered for my bike arrive.

Album of the Day This arrived this morning so I am giving it a quick listen while I try to decide if I want to go through with going into Cambridge, MA. It is not my favorite Cowboy Junkies album but none of their records particularly sucks. Sounds crisp. ##nowspinning #vinylrecords

Finding 130mm 13G spokes for the lemon off an e-bike I got talked into buying is hair-pulling. I ordered some from Amazon, but they sent me 180mm spokes instead (in a bag with a 130mm sticker).

Spending the day with an upset stomach from lack of sleep does not stop me from buying the wacky stuff. It has been around three decades since I had a Meal Ready to Excrement and I am curious.

I do not think I will be listening to any records today. Bad, sleepless night has led to one hell of a headache. I am glad I made sure earlier that I have nothing going on that I cannot do from home this evening. Unplugging from the internet for a bit as well. #vinylrecords

Album of the Day Black and white cover on another dark, overcast day. There is not one particular song that comes to mind regarding this album, but as a whole, it is a nice slow burn. The row of remaining records I have not posted is getting rather small. I probably will.. #vinylrecords #nowplaying

Album of the Day The Allen Woody years really need some love, and I want to track down the Music On Vinyl edition of this. This Let Them Eat Vinyl edition sounds ok, but I wonder about it. Does it come from the original masters? The artwork for the album cover sure... #nowspinning #vinylrecords

No Album of the Day today. Too busy besides too dark and overcast out for a decent pic.. #vinylrecords

Album of the Day Mellow Sunday. I wisely did not go on the group ride despite temptation but instead slept ten hours straight which was a delight considering how I usually sleep. I spent the rest of the day just screwing around with the exception of some kitchen cleaning. #vinylrecords #nowspinning

Does anyone else unfortunately own a Foo F1 e-bike and/or can tell me what spokes I need for replacements?

Masochism? I figure the way the economy is going I am going to have to revert to Ramen for dinner once or twice a week but I like variety.

No Album of the Day today. I spent an aggravating day trying to get a broken spoke fixed before a group ride tomorrow that I really wanted to take part in. Naturally, the owner of the bike shop I bought my e-bike from decided this was a vacation week.

Album of the Day From back in the days (2021), when I was not so worried about the economy. I saw it on sale and gave "Old Gods" a quick listen, which led me to give it a shot. Something I would not do nowadays. I am thinking of battening down the hatches and only... #nowspinning #vinylrecords

Album of the Day My favorite Tom Waits release post-"Rain Dogs". I was thinking it was released earlier than it actually was. I wonder how the original sounds compared to the remastered. Anyhow, "Hold On" is one of my favorite songs and one I have left on repeat for a... #nowspinning #vinylrecords

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

Album of the Day I originally and unintentionally pulled out "Nighthawks at the Diner" but changed my mind after seeing enough people post about its anniversary. I have not seen Tom Waits live, but I did manage to catch The Jeff Healey Band at a free concert... #nowspinning #vinylrecords

@oilcan74.bsky.social Damn, I hate to sound like a broken record but thanks to the shutdown all non-essential bills (HBO again) are going to have to go if the status quo does not change at the end of the month.

Album of the Day (sort of) I came across this over the weekend. Vinyl Post is an odd subscription service that features 5" vinyl postcard singles...that my turntable does not want to play. A split second after I put the needle down the arm picks up again. #nowspinning #vinylrecords #flexi-disc

Album of the Day I traveled an unusually large amount of miles over the last 3 days so I am taking it easy and trying to heal from some self-inflicted stupidities. There guys were everywhere when this album was released but nowadays no so much. Is it just my perspective? ##vinylrecords ##nowspinning

No Kings Boston: the view from the Bandstand in Boston Common; pretty much the furthest point away in the Common from the crowd.

Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are steps you can take to evade it.

Album of the Day Not much to say today. Have not been sleeping. Went on a 24 mile bike ride. Got home put a record on. Had a little Scotch to warm my bones followed by a hot cup of tea. Now, I feel sleepy. I hope her album "My Better Self" gets reissued on... #nowspinning #vinylrecords

Album of the Day Another album I have two copies of...sort of. The version of my other copy is the 1986 independent release. It was later released in the UK a year later, before being signed by RCA and getting re-released yet again with a couple of different tracks. #nowspinning #vinylrecords

Album of the Day My other copy of this (an Asylum release of unknown year) was an earlier AofD, but since I have two copies, I can post one again. I really want to give them a good listen back to back to determine which I like better, but I do not think I will be doing... #nowspinning #vinylrecords

Album of the Day Overcast day, but the nor'easter seems on the weak side. I think I have fallen off the Laufey bandwagon. I still like her being backed by a symphony, though, so if I ever get one of those albums, I might end up trading this one in. #vinylrecords #nowspinning

I suppose if there is a day to be horribly sick to my stomach, today is a good day for that.

Album of the Day Music to tidy up my apartment (and I guess myself) to. Since a nor'easter will probably keep me inside for the next two days, I am getting ready to head out for the evening while I can. I am not sure which concert was my first: Journey's "Raised On... #nowspinning #vinylrecords

Album of the Day After a string of great records in the 70s, her first release in the 80s does not hit for me, and I also have not gotten around to listening to the follow-up, "Get Closer". Still, I think I picked it up for only $5, so there is that. #nowspinning #vinylrecords

Nah, I need both. #vinylrecords

Album of the Day Likely my favorite AC/DC album from the last couple of years (since 2000?). I have played "Anything Goes" on repeat as I was out walking. I have been working on lining up some side hustles, but I might have been too successful at that. I am going to... #nowspinning #vinylrecords

Everything is fine…..

I wonder what the rationale is for leaving a smoke detector in a washing machine. At least not all the detergent bays were overflowing with whatever gunk they use to wash their clothes. Next up, finding dryers without 5 lbs. of scent beads left behind inside.

Album of the Day A gloomy, overcast day today. Not many albums Col. Bruce Hampton played on have been released on vinyl. He sang in the chorus on Zappa's "Lumpy Gravy" and Wikipedia has him likely incorrectly playing on "We're Only In It for the Money". I really should... #vinylrecords #nowspinning
