I know I haven’t written anything about records for the site in the last week. I’ve been dealing with some reorganizational chaos that is taking up a lot of time and space. I’m going to try to get one or two written this week, but no promises.

May I suggest an alternative: youtu.be/aNkRbFirn9U?...

If I’m being honest, I didn’t know Trouble In Mind was still a label. That said I have a bunch of their early stuff and it’s always a shame to lose anyone helping to release records.

1 month and counting until the Rocket From The Crypt show in San Diego.

I can confirm this is surprisingly still available. I’m not pulling the trigger on it myself, so if you’re in NJ and want it, it’s waiting for you.

The 2nd best Kool Keith project (after Ultramagnetic MCs, obviously) is a group w/ Godfather Don called Cenobites. They’re finally getting all their released stuff (and some unreleased stuff) put out on a double LP. I just preordered mine. Good news still exists. www.fatbeats.com/collections/...

Yeah, I’m easy to pick out on the highway.

Happy birthday to the Judgment Night soundtrack (1993) and Mama Said Knock You Out by LL Cool J (1990 - though some places say it came out on 8/28, most say 9/14). Two big records for me when I was a teenager.

I’m not sure I had Breaker as a kid. I think so, but he’s very similar to Clutch. I know I had Clutch because I had the Vamp, but can’t remember if I also had Breaker or if I’m just remembering Clutch twice. Love the Classified figure though, especially the Bubblegum head right out of the comics.

As I get older I’m starting to think about time in comparison to high school a lot. “That record came out in 2013? That’s 3 trips through high school ago.” How is it that those 4 years felt like eternity but 2013 feels like last Thursday?

My friends, it’s an exciting day to preorder a wonderful thing that is finally going to be released…The first Beezewax record finally on vinyl! Hats off to the fine folks at Boss Tuneage and Sellout records for filling this gap in my collection. bosstuneage.bigcartel.com/product/beez...

Part 2 of our talk about nostalgic McDonald’s memories tonight. @skot1107.bsky.social will join @alanrappa.bsky.social and I as we talk a bit about the new McDonaldland promotion and a lot about working at McDonald’s in the early 90s. Come say hi at 7:30 Eastern! www.youtube.com/live/-2EHACL...

Time is an abstract concept at this point. I cannot believe this was 10 years ago.

Starting to go through those bins from the attic and even though I brought down the ones that have empty boxes that I’m saving from toys I collect, I’m still running into some old friends.

I’m enjoying building a record store diorama, but making these tiny albums is tedious. Not even a quarter done, so I’ll need to speed things up. “Staff Picks” wall is WIP. Album selections by @timpopkid.ibuywaytoomanyrecords.com and myself.

I got to see this show relatively early (I think) at a tiny little place in Montclair, NJ. It was a blast, and I recommend it.

Well I’m off to stuff loads and loads of Xenomorphs down the toilet.

Today I pulled down the bins in my attic that have empty toy boxes that I’m saving. There’s like another dozen boxes up there, but these are the ones I’m sure have empty boxes in them. Send help.

Also:

I’ve been slowly rewatching the G.I. Joe cartoon occasionally. A lot of the episodes hold up pretty well, others not as such. But then there are bonkers ones where they get attacked by giant vegetables at a county fair.

Going live with @alanrappa.bsky.social in 10 minutes to chat about his recent trip to Disney World and finally finish up our talk about the G.I. Joe Classified Snow C.A.T. HasLab that finished up the other week. Come say hello or hi or even aloha. www.youtube.com/live/3yC5iQz...

I didn’t have a Footloose figure when he originally came out in 1985, but he’s in that time period where I have to have the Classified version. And it’s a heck of a figure. Really well done.

Perhaps the best fried chicken in New Jersey? Love this place.

Holy, pause for emphasis, crap. DGC Rarities Vol. 1 finally gets a vinyl rerelease with the full US CD track list for the first time ever. Can’t wait to listen to “Bogusflow” on my turntable over and over and over. Many props to @skot1107.bsky.social for the heads up. interscope.com/products/dgc...

It’s not clear to me if Tikka is psyched I’m playing the Judgment Night soundtrack or if she’s desperately trying to get me to turn it off.

Hey @nj.com. This is nonsense and I don’t want this in any article I read.

This is all @timpopkid.ibuywaytoomanyrecords.com ‘s fault. His review of the shake was spot on. It tastes like blue chemtrails.

I swear this is not pre planned synergy for tonight’s Perfectly Excellent episode about McDonald’s. But don’t forget to come say hi in about an hour. youtube.com/live/1L9Mpt-...

Excited to talk all things McDonald’s tonight with @alanrappa.bsky.social & special guest @skot1107.bsky.social New McDonaldland stuff? Check. Old Playground equipment? Check. Menu Song? Double check. Plus 2 of us worked there in high school. Come say hi at 7:30 Eastern. youtube.com/live/1L9Mpt-...

Walmart just cancelled my G.I. Joe Classified preorder for Crystal Ball. This, on the same day that Pacsun sent the wrong shirt and I didn’t get the Mayor McCheese shirt I ordered, which they said was now sold out. Not having a good retail day today.

Also, I am absolutely not above figuring out the code to identify which character box is which and showing the cashier how to find me the one I wanted the most. Thank you very much to that guy for helping a weirdo like me out. (Mayor McCheese is 006 and the code is on the flap on the bottom)

After the movie, I was finally able to get to McDonald’s and order the Mcdonaldland meal. I am so genuinely thrilled that the characters are back and was happy to buy one in the hopes that it will make them keep them around.

My wife and I went to the movies to see Nobody 2. While it is nowhere close to being as great as the first one, it’s still pretty fun. The likability of Bob Odenkirk in this role carries the whole thing through some very questionable plot choices and absurdities.

Rock and Roll was definitely one of, if not the first G.I Joe figure I had as a kid. Mine didn’t even have the swivel arm. He always drove the RAM Cycle back then in my world. This Retro version Classified figure is excellent. Everything I love about the original figure with the volume turned up.

the Atari 2600 was great but it had its pitfalls

Upon arriving at the Sussex County Farm and Horse show, we were immediately confronted by a cover band playing Flagpole Sitta. I can only assume this is the equivalent to going in the 90s and stumbling across a doo wop cover band. #imnotsickbutimnotwell
