I am stoked to have this LP! I had 'guilt within your head' on the Home Alive compilation when I was a kid, but I could not find any album, or any information on The Gits because it was the pre/early internet days. I'm so glad their albums are getting rereleased. #vinyl #seattle #subpop #miazapata

My wife wanted me to put on some Christmas music, so I figured I’d start with some seven inches. #vinyl #xmas #punk #ska

It snowed so early this year that the leaves weren’t gone yet, such a trippy sight. #wisconsin #snow

Checking out the new Nintendo Store app, as you can see, I’m a sucker for Animal Crossing, and maybe Zelda too… #nintendo #3ds #switch

Tonight my daughter chose this Dizzy Gillespie record to listen to (over an Erroll Garner record) Discogs has this one as being released in 1968, but looking at the style of the sleeve I would have guessed early 1950’s #vinyl #jazz

Lear’s start the day with this awesome album, I think Mixtapes were one of the most underrated bands. #vinyl #mixtapes #ohio #poppunk

This album is so ridiculous… #pac-man #vinyl #80s #Nostalgia

Why don't they put download cards inside of vinyl records anymore!?

Last night I got to see Jeff Rosenstock and PUP thanks to some tickets I won from my local radio station. #musicsky #livemusic

I guess that coffee didn’t help Blathers. #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #Blathers #NintendoSwitch #Brewster #Coffee

I come from the land of Ben Franklin Twain and Poe and Walt Whitman Otis Redding, Ellington, The country that I love But it's a land of the slaves and the ku klux klan Haymarket riot and the great depression Joe McCarthy, Vietnam The sickest joke I know #Vinyl #4thofJuly #Descendents #punk

My wife found this book at a little free library. I guess it counts as an early Father’s Day gift. #booksky #fathersday #punk #pennywise

Billy Joel being diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus is proof we are living in the wrong timeline.

One thing I regret is selling off my CD collection. I was moving every year and had all my music on a laptop, so keeping them seemed foolish at the time. Nowadays, whenever I want to listen to a CD I used to own, I'll see how much it goes for used and I kick myself for ever letting it go.

#AprilSpins an album to start your day (and a new month) A super underrated band, Osker rounds out the month, this one was a 2014 repressing on black vinyl. Thank you @vinylgyroid.sparkle.blue for setting this up, it was a lot of fun. #vinyl #seeyounextyear

#AprilSpins a box set This is the only box set I own. mewithoutYou released Ten Stories as a box set with an extra 7 inch, a CD, a booklet, and a poster. The first go round was signed by the band, but I wasn’t quick enough. #toothandnail #mewithoutYou #vinyl

#AprilSpins soundtrack to a movie or TV show Dexter I picked this blood splatter vinyl when I visited the Mall of America about 10 years ago. It has music and dialogue from the first season. #Dexter #vinyl #blood

Start ‘em young

#AprilSpins Day 27: an album for a rainy day Bill Evans - Solo Sessions (Vol 1) I love Bill Evans, his piano playing would make a great soundtrack to a rainy day.

#AprilSpins a splatter record The Vandals - Sweating to the Oldies seems like a fitting choice today as I celebrate entering my 40th birthday. #vinyl #vandals #kungfurecords

#AprilSpins an album with blue in the title Here’s a classic, John Coltrane’s Blue Train. This is the 1985 repressing. #vinyl #jazz #bluenote

#AprilSpins Day 24: the prettiest record in my collection I’ve always had a soft spot for this 7 inch, it’s the one I usually show to people when talking about splatter vinyl. #Swellers #Flint #vinyl

#AprilSpins most recent purchase This is the European version of Audio Karate’s 3rd album that I actually found at a record store about 2 hours away from me. The US version is pretty expensive. These recordings are from 2005 or 06 and sat on a laptop for over a decade before they were mixed.

#AprilSpins an album to be enjoyed amongst nature I have this weird record that has the sounds of birds chirping with classical string music in the background, does that count? #vinyl #birds #decca

#AprilSpins a live album Descendents - Hallraker Live! One of my all time favorite bands, and I like this one better than Liveage! #vinyl #descendents #punk

#AprilSpins a green album Alkaline Trio - This Addiction was a great follow up to their questionable major label debut, and they have only gotten better since. #vinyl #alk3 #epitaph

#AprilSpins an album that is uplifting This album by the North Central College Concert Choir in Naperville, IL is incredibly beautiful, it puts me in a good mood every time. #vinyl #choral #collegechoir

#AprilSpins a picture disc Take your pick! I have these on display on the wall above my LPs…and before you ask, that’s just an 18 foot piece wall molding I cut to use as the shelf. #vinyl #picturedisc #punkrock #pacman

#AprilSpins guilty pleasure album? I don’t know that I feel guilty about loving anything in my collection, but this may fit the bill for some. This Candy Hearts album is pop-rock/power-pop/pop-punk, but Mariel Loveland is such a great songwriter that anybody listening would love these songs. #vinyl

#AprilSpins a classic black record It doesn’t get much more classic than this. This was my parent’s copy and if you zoom in you can see where one of my brothers drew on the cover with a pen. #vinyl #RubberSoul #Beatles

#AprilSpins a album chosen by your spouse Whenever I ask my wife what she wants to spin, it’s this Green Day album. It’s the 2009 repress from back when they started pressing all their albums on vinyl. #vinyl #americanidiot

#AprilSpins favorite album art I have a couple Claude Bolling albums with this art style, including the picnic suite (which you can guess what that cover looks like) In reality it’s the reason I picked them up from some thrift store years ago. You can’t go wrong with good jazz piano though. #vinyl

#AprilSpins video game soundtrack Mega Man 1 - 10 Sadly this doesn’t have any track from MM2 on it, but it’s a picture disc so it’s not getting a whole lotta spins either. #vinyl #megaman #picturedisc #videogames

#AprilSpins local record store pickup ALL - Just Perfect (single) I buy a ton of records from my local record stores, I chose this one because it was such a shock to find this 12” single locally. I wasn’t really looking for it because I never expected to see a copy in real life. #vinyl #punkrock

#AprilSpins signed album Implants - From Chaos to Order No cool story here as this came signed when you ordered it off the now defunct Interpunk website. They used to send emails saying “you bought music from some band, here’s a similar band” and I was always on the lookout for new music. #vinyl

#AprilSpins an album that turns 10 this year Emery - You Were Never Alone I had to look up what albums came out in 2015 for this one. This is another great record from Emery where they continue their “we don’t know what genre we want to be.” #vinyl

#AprilSpins A White Record The Suicide Machines - On the Eve of Destruction is a collection of the band’s early work, before they released Destruction By Definition.

#AprilSpins an album introduced by a friend Sounds of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel While flipping through records at goodwill one day, a friend grabbed this and said “buy this one too!” When I was selling off a bunch of my records I finally got around to listening to it, and ended up loving it.

#AprilSpins a 7 inch (a 45 for the older crowd) Mixtapes - Hope is for People I picked this one because my wife said this cover looks like spring.

#AprilSpins An album with unique packaging This album by Stephen Egerton (Descendents/ALL) and friends has a cutout on the front that the insert makes looks red (like fire) the record itself is this red-ish color. This album is great because it has a who’s who of punk all-stars doing vocals on it.

#AprilSpins My most spun album would probably be this one, I got it over 20 years ago and played it to death back in the day. NOFX - So Long and Thanks for the Shoes #vinyl #punkrock

#AprilSpins A Greatest Hits Album Billy Joel Greatest Hits Volume 1+2 I picked this up at a thrift store years ago for like a buck or two, still sealed, with the hype sticker on and everything. I have all his other albums, so this is just for decoration. #vinyl #BillyJoel #turntable

#AprilSpins An album that feels like spring. Aaron Copeland’s Appalachian Spring. Yeah, I might be taking the easy way out, but it’s the first one that comes to mind, that or Vivaldi. #Vinyl

#AprilSpins A Blue Record All This Time by Tel Aviv punk band Not On Tour, released in the US by Diner Junkie records in 2012.

#AprilSpins This was an artist I was “fool” to not pay attention to sooner. I had heard a song or two by The Forecast on sampler CDs, but I didn’t get this album right away. When I finally did get it, I was so mad at myself for not buying it sooner. Everything this band puts out is great.

I just found out Interpunk.com shut down a couple of months ago. I heard the service really went downhill in recent years, which is sad because during the mid 2000s and early 2010s I got so many records and cds from there, shirts and pins too.
