Hey #vinylcommunity I did another vinyl mix. this time it's mostly house/house-adjacent stuff. I've never tried the beat matching thing before so get ready for some chuuuuuuunky transitions! 🏠👯🥳 www.mixcloud.com/esfreeman/an...

Time to change out the record frames! #vinylcommunity

Chinatown OST sounds fantastic backwards! #vinylcommunity #playitbackwards @vinyl.bsky.social #chinatown

Picked up some hella rad soundtracks today! #tenebre #liquidsky #vibylcommunity @vinyl.bsky.social

Massive classics on the TT this morning. #chameleons #fieldmice #vinylcommunity @vinyl.bsky.social

Good one

Hi #vinylcommunity. I'm going to be in San Juan for one day this week. If I can do it, the best I can hope to manage is a visit to one record store. Any suggestions? Any suggestions of artist's material to look out for that isn't readily available in the continental states?

I know this movie is considered a disaster and yes the new Dune movies are objectively far superior… yet, I still have so much love for this. The orchestral theme gets me every time! #dune #toto #vinylcommunity @vinyl.bsky.social #soundtracks

These chips are pretty good.

One of my NYRs is to get back to doing more mixes. So…. I recorded another last night. A little all over the place, trying to play anything I got in the last year that I didn’t play yet. #vinylcommunity #mixcloud #vinylmix #recordparty www.mixcloud.com/esfreeman/an...

Made a mix of all the records i bought in Japan. #vinylcommunity www.mixcloud.com/esfreeman/an...

New Year, New You! 👨‍🦰💇‍♂️👩‍🎤🤘🏼 @vinyl.bsky.social #vinylcommunity #80shair #aquanet

Antique store find! 1970 US version in great shape. Wasn’t exactly cheap but feeling quite chuffed I didn’t get fleeced. It’s ages since I heard this straight through. I forgot how brilliant the journey is. Vive Le Album!! #vinylcommunity #blacksabbath @vinyl.bsky.social

Legend 😢

Time for the annual screening of the Star Wars Christmas Special! Happy Life Day!

Uuuugh kids, man. Neighbor kid thought it would be fun to spin the platter as fast as possible and then grind the needle into the rubber mat. Hahaha what a funny joke! 😡😡😡. Cantilever is bent and I’m sure the needle is ruined but frankly the way he was going at it I’m surprised it’s there at all!

Merry Christmas to Daddy 😋 #vinylcommunity @vinyl.bsky.social #boris

Poor Susan Wells. Sometime in the mid-70s, her baby disappeared. On Christmas, no less. And she died never knowing what happened to him. #elf

One of the best things about record shopping in Tokyo is the totally normal, reasonable prices. I mean truly rare stuff will still break the bank. But an OG copy of one of my bucket list record’s, Björk’s Vespertine, could be had for ~$35. @vinyl.bsky.social #vinylcommunity #bjork #diskunion #tokyo

Been on the hunt for this one ever since I saw the cover. Akiko Yano - いろはにこんぺいとう. It’s as fun and quirky as the cover suggests. She seems cool 😎 #vinylcommunity @vinyl.bsky.social #akikoyano

James Dean Driving Experience produced one of my all time favorite 12” singles. I’ve always been on the hunt for their other 3 singles. I honestly never thought I would find any… until I stumbled upon this at Disk Union in Tokyo! Great slice of c86 pop ☺️. @vinyl.bsky.social #vinylcommunity #c86

This was the other “cover looks cool” record i picked up at the Disk Union - Japanese shop. Sheena & the Rokkets. 70s punky/new wave vibes with some Devo thrown in. Def would fit right in at Mosswood Meltdown. Very fun record! #vinylcommunity @vinyl.bsky.social #sheenaandtherokkets

Ok, *now* it’s Christmas season ;) @vinyl.bsky.social #vinylcommunity

Got so many cool records in Tokyo. Gonna go through then one by one starting with 岡田有希子 – 贈りもの. I was so overwhelmed in the DU-Japan shop that I just grabbed records that looked cool priced under ¥1,000. This one sounds like a nice slice of 80s City Pop. Bubbly and fun with a disco beat. Nice start!

Went a little nuts at Disk Union in Tokyo! Compared to the US the prices were so reasonable i just couldn’t help myself! I will post about some of them as I listen through the stash. Fun stuff! @vinyl.bsky.social #vinylcommunity

Coupla holy moly records found at Disk Union in Tokyo. Way above my pay grade 😱😱😱. #vinylcommunity #suicideband #sarahrecords @vinyl.bsky.social

Sweater weather. @vinyl.bsky.social #vinylcommunity #lisalisa #nancysinatra #sherelle #thejam

Know one knew who I was for Halloween.

Hey team I did a new mix last night. Needed to get some work done so I put together some of my favorite 10+min mixes. 2hrs. 11 songs. Easiest mix ever. #vinylcommunity #extendedremix #Mixcloud #bedroomdj www.mixcloud.com/esfreeman/an...

What kind of hell is this. Yes. I know it's a listical, and yes, I know it's just an attempt to jack sales on the platform, but holy hell this is terrible. #vinylstupidity #vinylcommunity #goth #listicalhell #discogs #theyrenoteventryinganymore www.discogs.com/digs/music/e...

No probs. Just lemme grab my office meat thermometer. 🙄

Six being so predictable but when I look at my life this chart feels accurate

Is there a #cyclingstupidity thread. I see so much stupid shit on my rides. Mostly from drivers but drivingstupidity is too broad as where I live it’s basically all drivers all the time.

All the new shows are shit so I’m starting my 3rd run through Prime Suspect. True class. And also OMG so much smoking!!!!!! #helenmirren fucking rules.

It’s so weird. I bought new cycling shoes for the first time this week. I need to throw the old ones out, but every time I go to do it I pause. Those were my 1st and only shoes for over a decade. I put over 20k miles on ‘em. It’s like they are a part of me. #cycling #hardtosaygoodbye #newshoes

Nooooo! 🥹 but also good for him. One of the good ones. Thank you, indeed.

Been a minute since we had some #playitbackwards funzies. How about some Miles? My Ship backwards definitely gives me some Black Lodge vibes. #vinylcommunity #milesdavis @vinyl.bsky.social

Last week was shit so did some retail therapy this weekend. Definitely brightened up my Monday. @vinyl.bsky.social #vinylcommunity

This is such a cool idea. Too bad the records were to expensive to pick up. If anyone is looking for a matched set here they are at Moodswing in Alameda. #dietodlichedoris @vinyl.bsky.social #vinylcommunity #invisiblealbum

Man, Carter USM still gets me bouncing around after all these years. What a fun band. @vinyl.bsky.social #vinylcommunity #carterusm #30something #sherifffatman

This is such a great record! I bought it on the #PatrickCowley connect not knowing what to expect. There’s an infectious freedom of expression running throughout. #indoorlife #vinylcommunity @vinyl.bsky.social

Been really feeling my early industrial records lately so I decided to make a big ol’ mix, roughly chronological from late 70s through ‘91. Would love to have gone further but that’s where my vinyl peters out*. #vinylcommunity #industrialmusic #ebm #vinylmix www.mixcloud.com/esfreeman/an...

Fun day at the Alameda flea market yesterday. Don’t get too excited about that Chapman. The only reason I could afford it is is it’s beat to hell. The music comes thought the surface noise but I think it would annoy the hell out of most people. @vinyl.bsky.social #vinylcommunity

Pro father’s day tip. Skip the ties and socks and get you dad some MF Doom! 👊🏼💥 @vinyl.bsky.social #vinylcommunity #mfdoom

Look what some very nice person delivered to the house yesterday! Like most remix albums it’s a mixed bag but there are some gems (like the 4tet mix) that make it worth it. @vinyl.bsky.social #vinylcommunity #thecure #fourtet

I got so pumped for the new #Pulp that I ordered a copy completely forgetting I had already done so in April! 😅 Good thing it’s excellent. @vinyl.bsky.social #vinylcommunity

I know it’s not on the same level as Brian and Sly but for industrial music nerds of a certain age this one sux. RIP. Douglas McCarthy of Nitzer Ebb. #nitzerebb #vinylcommunity #industrialmusic @vinyl.bsky.social

Bjork + Alec Empire #playitbackwards funzies. This track is the reason I have this comp but the whole thing is full of bangers. #bork #alecempire #vinylcommunity @vinyl.bsky.social

It’s been a minute since i did any #playitbackwards. A new (and excellent) #Stereolab record is a great excuse to dive back in! @vinyl.bsky.social #vinylcommunity

Finally picked up this bad boy. Great bangers from a bygone era. #darkentries knows what it’s doing! #vinylcommunity @vinyl.bsky.social
