Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen #musicsky 🎶 1. AC/DC 2. Iron Maiden 3. Metallica 4. SLIFT 5. Heaven and Hell aka Black Sabbath with Dio and Appice

I got this DC Batman Run race shirt in 2021 for a virtual run but it didn't fit until yesterday. 🤘

One of the best bands I've seen live. I feel like it's rare that a band that sounds this good on an LP delivers just as well or better on stage. Long may they reign. Walks in the woods will never be the same.

In Avatar: The Last Airbender, King Bumi introduces Aang to neutral jing: Stillness: Being rooted, calm, and aware. Patience: Waiting for the perfect moment to strike, without hesitation. Balance: A middle ground between aggressive and passive approaches. Very relative to my previous post.

Block this 🧊 account IMMEDIATELY. Don't reply. Don't quote. Don't talk to them. Just block. They shouldn't even be on @bsky.app.

I finally finished Stranger Things tonight. Terrific from start to finish. It's nice to know all series don't end like Lost or How I Met You Mother.

Not a bad haul today. There was a record show a town over – I almost didn't go. Glad I went (with support from my fam) and supported some indies. Got an original ’69 pressing of "In a Silent Way", a Hüsker Dü, a Japanese pressing of "Wired", and an audiophile grade of Gordo’s "Sundown".

Still one of my absolute favorites. Up the Irons!

Monkey's on my back again.

If you need further evidence that people are messy and sometimes incompatible: organizing books by color or alphabetically is still a thing.

Kickstarting the day.

GENIUS

Just me learning about "Mamma Mia!" and ABBA.

Spent another good chunk of the day learning Framer. I haven't been this jazzed about making a website in a while. But then the smarter person entered the room: "Dad, are you STILL working on that?" my son asked. Point taken - Dad should be playing with the kids. Laptop, closed.

Messing with Framer today. The last of my '25 bucket. Conversion from Figma (via plugin) isn't perfect, but it's really good.

Hello, sonic allies! It's that time of the year again: The 2025 Borowicz Rapport Music Retrospective! Have you ever spent a long time working on a project only to realize the main problem with it is that you spent a long time working on it? 1/16 🧵

Motörhead. Breakfast of Champions.

Stubhub sent Christian rock fans to see Lamb of God and I think that's the best thing I've heard this year. Stubhub, keep it up, honey. Metal will always be more inclusive than (dis)organized religion. 😂🤣😂🤣

Here's a movie that should have done much better at the box office. Maybe not enough people understood it? I'm basically the water guy in my relationship, so I got it at least. Love can overcome A LOT. More than you'd think.

A Farewell to Kings – just a tremendous album by RUSH. We're blasting this one in the house today.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate including the guy in the E Street band who sings "you better be good for goodness sake" really low.

This is why audiophiles do their homework, no matter who it is, because this isn't a heel turn. It's who she's been the entire time. Just another one in it for themselves; she won't even represent Trinidad.

Everywhere around the world They'll be Danson Ted Danson in the street

Christopher Walken in a winter wonderland. That is all.

Hard Volume Experience news: I've been working away at episodes with @joenatoli.bsky.social and I'm pretty excited about the progress we've made as we gear up for life away from YouTube. The done pile is getting taller than the to-do one and I hope you all catch us when we return in 2026.

Dave Willat was just 11 years old when he showed up for what he thought would be a routine church choir practice in 1965. He and his fellow singers ended up making history. n.pr/3KZCl3a

Who needs coffee anyway? Just picked up the reissue – can't wait to give it a spin after a bath in the old record basin.

Listen, you remember GnR your way and I'll remember GnR just like this. Volume up for this one!

Just a fantastic collection of Christmas songs from the brilliant Norah Jones. This edition includes tracks recorded live, from on top of the Empire State building.🎄🔥

I'm not used to seeing so much color with Black Sabbath!

Cleaning up a bleach spill during a blackout is the height of my day today.

Who owns the worst record store around? Please put it in a good word for me so that I can hate it after one day there and lose this temptation to quit my job and start one.

When the Rev says what's up from the rack.

Good day to my guys, gals, and non-binary pals of sonic worship. 🤘🏼

In-progress build pics of #40806. The Enterprise is getting all the hype right now but this one is beyond cute!

Birthday gift from my amazing wife. The stand, not the record. I mean, the record is obviously a no-brainer.

Why would record collectors use software to visualize a physical media collection when they could just walk over to it and look at the real thing? No one needs an interactive virtual crate for Discogs. 🪙🪙

A Plea, by Flea is the absolute best thing I've heard in a decade. This is my vibe and, amen brother, I don't want to hear about your fucking politics; peace and love is the toughest, hardest thing you can do, everything besides love is cowardice. Thanks to @joenatoli.bsky.social for the heads-up.

Well, this one hits hard: RIP Steve Cropper. Booker T. & The M.G.'s Otis Redding Wilson Pickett Sam & Dave The fucking Blues Brothers Band What a life. He came up with the guitar hook on Sitting by the Dock of the Bay. He was with Stax, played on Green Onions. I'm just scratching the surface!

Happy Online Black Friday Record Store Day-After You Get What You Get And You Don't Throw A Fit day to all who celebrate it.

I researched costs for flights to Amsterdam and a hotel for 2 adults and 2 kids and it's so expensive I think we'll be stay-cationing for the rest of our lives. Sheesh!

Out of stock. That escalated quickly.

Nate Smith is on KEXP today! Righteous stuff.

Good mooooorrrrrniiiiinnnngaaaaaah! (to the tune of Immigrant Song)

Keeping in the groove…

It's just a SLIFT kinda morning, friends, as per usual. 🤘🏼

Hell of a night. Went to a fight and a hockey game broke out.

If there's a dish your mom or dad or someone you love makes that's your favorite thing ever, learn how to make it. From them if you can. Someday you'll be fending for yourself and your people.

Castle Rat has arrived in Kerrang! This is awesome news.

A thoroughly enjoyable Ace Frehley poster from a 1979 Swedish pop/rock mag. Which it seemed entirely right to post.
