No lines and (most importantly) no scalper prices: these three stores had everything I was looking for. My RSD took 5 minutes on a Sunday morning, and they have my thanks (and money). Darkside Records (Poughkeepsie) Plaid Room Records (Loveland) Welcome Back Records (Fort Wayne) #rsd26 #vinyl

Annual reminder that FOMO is your enemy. There are plenty of records to go around. Do NOT pay scalper prices. Check out the RSD website on Sunday morning. If you still can't find what you're looking for, wait a week. Discogs will be flooded by disappointed flippers. #rsd #rsd26 #recordstoreday

Just revisited "Goodbye Earl" by The Chicks. I gotta tell ya - Mary Anne was a real one.

Audiophile collection ✔️ Up next: Soundtracks. www.instagram.com/jeffplaysvin... #vinyl #nowplaying #vinylsky

Thinking about instituting a "play it, then sell it" policy

2026 is the year that I stop collecting and start listening. My goal is to get through all of my records at least once. If that sounds like a journey you might like to follow: www.instagram.com/jeffplaysvin... #vinyl #nowplaying #vinylsky

A melancholy day for this old pop-punker - the final quarterly @smartpunk.bsky.social record club box arrived. Hopefully it's not the last one ever. So far they aren't offering a 2026 subscription - but it's not too late to change your minds!

Found this under the tree and finally had time today to set it up. I am very fortunate to have a wife who doesn't just tolerate my nonsense - she encourages it.

This is a GREAT store. These audiophile deals are awesome!

Black Friday PSA: Almost everything will be available online Saturday morning from indie record stores, and in three months 90% of those records will be on Discogs below sticker price. Anything else will be a little more expensive. Don't pay scalper prices. FOMO is expensive. Happy Thanksgiving!

I interrupt this social media detox to bring you an important update: #canceldisneyplus #cancelhulu #disney #hulu

Final #Toronto shop stop: #SonicBoom in #ChinaTown. Love this place. Stuff upstairs for my wife to browse while I puttered downstairs. Everything clearly marked AND I found something on my ISO list! A mint green #Pink record (go figure). Tomorrow: Niagara! 🇨🇦 #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylsky #canada

Hit up the first of two record stores in #Toronto today: #KOPS (near #Chinatown). Still nothing from my ISO/want list. The variance in how different stores catalog/display records fascinates me. It always takes me a while to get my bearings. #Canada 🇨🇦 #vinyl #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #nowspinning

Hit up #Aux33Tours in #Montreal in a wonderful little shopping district. Nice store, but 0/26 for my want list. However, there is a neighboring bodega with ketchup chips and Coffee Crisp, so today turned out just fine. Tomorrow we're on to #Toronto! 🇨🇦 #canada #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylsky

Today's Canadian 🇨🇦 record store: #Indigo, which is a lot like Barnes & Noble. Considered the 180g James Taylor. This tiny display has to hold me over until tomorrow's visit to #Aux33. You know it's legit when they sell Crosley! 😉 #Montreal #Canada #vinyl #vinylsky #vinylcommunity

First stop in #Montreal: Cheap Thrills! 🇨🇦🍁⚫🎶 #vinyl #vinylcommunity #Canada #Quebec #cheapthrills

Heading out to the Great White North! See you soon, #Montreal. In the meantime, please enjoy our 20-hour road trip playlist of artists from #Canada 🇨🇦🍁 #musicsky open.spotify.com/playlist/0Zh...

Time for a social media detox. Over the next few days I'll be listing records on Discogs & eBay (& posting pics of everything on my Insta page). Links in bio. See ya when I see ya! Happy 4th of July!🎇🎆 #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylsky #musicsky #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #discogs #ebay
