Back in the 90s when neo-nazi skinheads were everywhere, people wore colored laces in their Doc Martens to signify which side they were on. Red meant nazi, one black one white meant anti-racist, blue meant neutral, and green meant you like frogs and were anti-fascist. Been thinking about that a lot.

Ok, I've got one more and then I gotta go outside and stare at the stars for an hour. Thank you for hangin' out tonight. Thank you to our sponsors Stone Leaf, Harpoon, and Long Trail. Be excellent. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Texas Sun was the more popular of the two EPs by Khruangbin and Leon Bridges. Listen to "Mariella," and then tell me which one was better. (Hint: It's this one). Video in comments, as always. #topjamsky #vinylsky

My default vibe these days is a little bit of country, a little bit of psychedelic rock. I've been listening to a lot of Mazzy Star these days. #topjamsky #vinylsky

I have a modest home. There's always a risk when I have a fire in the wood stove in October that I accidentally get the indoor temperature up to 85 degrees.

Listening to Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star on "Sometimes Always" and I know what our next record is gonna be. #topjamsky #vinylsky

A cool October night, a fire in the wood stove, Galaxie 500 on the stereo: Life can still deliver wonders. #topjamsky #vinylsky

It's time to enjoy some jams, mothers and fathers. This one goes out to the fascists: I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass. It's an LP by Yo La Tengo. It's tongue in cheek. I, however, am still awaiting a reply from Stephen Miller on our no holds-barred, steel cage match. #topjamsky

The first 10 miles of my 24 mile ride included an ascent up Brownsville Rd, then the Jenneville-Silver Hill-Bryant Road climb. If I had to do it again, I probably wouldn't have stopped to meet the cows on the way up Silver Hill. I lost all my momentum. They were nice cows, though. #bikeVT #bikeskuy

I've always found that all the reverb on Neko Case's Blacklisted hits harder once there's some cold in the night-time air. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Mdou Moctar's anti-colonial message works well as an anti-fascist message, too. You don't even need to speak the language. The music of uprising is universal. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Well, now that you put it that way, Ben, I'll burn one down, too. #topjamsky #vinylsky

ok, hear me out—what about a 6 foot party sub but it’s just grilled cheese

20 years ago, I lived in Ohio, my hair was shorter, and cannabis was not legal. I like Devendra Banhart now! #topjamsky #vinylsky

Weirdo psychedelic folk from the Pacific NW released on @matadorrecords.bsky.social in '08. I loved this one upon its release, but hadn't listened to the Cave Singers in 10 years, maybe more, when I stumbled upon an LP of theirs when browsing for new LPs the other night. That's my bad. #topjamsky

This sounds bad. Maybe instead of ICE and the national guard, we should send in Snake Plissken

The ongoing drought in Vermont, and last night's rain created spring-like conditions on the back roads, though I wouldn't call what I rode through mud. The consistency was more like wet sand than the gloopy mud season mud we're used to. The scenery was outasight, though. #bikeVT #bikesky

I find it awesome when Vermonters put their own spin on the visit every town in the state challenge. This one happens to be right up my alley -- gravel bike every town. I'm gonna bookmark the website that documented their travels for when I need inspiration for a new dirt route. #bikeVT #bikeSky

I'm looking forward to more doughnuts in my life. They were a local sensation when they had a weekend business in Quechee.

The W League is coming to the Soccer State. 💚

Let’s get this party started!

It's so cute www.lego.com/en-us/produc...

The AT Barnard Road trailhead is just a short distance from Abracadabra Coffee. In the summer, you'll often see thru-hikers on Barnard Road walking to the shop. My goals today were more modest: Hike a couple miles, enjoy the serenity of the forest, have a cold brew with a shot of maple syrup.

Thank you for hangin' tonight. All of you are excellent in your own way. I like to think I'm pretty okay at bicycles and excellent at picking out jams. Check the comments for Moon Duo's ethereal, otherworldly cover of Black Sabbath's "Planet Caravan." #topjamsky #vinylsky

Oh my, you are bright tonight.

Welcome back, fellow cosmonauts. #topjamsky #vinylsky

I'm in a battle with the human mind. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Jazzy, spiritual, West African, and distinctly Khruangbin. Get past the fear of listening to NPR World Music, and Ali is a richly-layered, rewarding listen. #topjamsky #vinylsky

I feel like there is a german word for didn't know what to play next then saw a cool record when you were putting a different record away. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Do you like your hip-hop with side of afro-futurism? Like, I'm talking about super afro-futuristic. Ishmael Butler (Butterfly from Digable Planets) is on another planet and another plain of existence on Black Up. #topjamsky #vinylsky

I've never been much into the heavy music that followed grunge. That nu-metal shit always hit me as cringe, even if I didn't have that word at the time. Deftones were different, though. They had bigger brains and bigger ambitions than those Neanderthal bass slappers #topjamsky #vinylsky

Smashing Pumpkins were on some kind of a run from Gish to Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Even the b-side collection from that era is full of bangers. Their cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" was a staple of '90s alt-rock radio. "Starla," meanwhile, was fuckin' epic #topjamsky #vinylsky

This was a fun 19 mile loop with 2400 feet of climbing starting from Brownsville, roughly 50% paved, 50% dirt. I picked up Caper Hill from 106. Caper Hill is a mfn' wall and wasn't fun. But, Spear Cemetary and Delano roads were very scenic, very peaceful places to shred. #bikeVT #bikesky

I'll give you the short version: former hardcore dude serves time for assault, after prison starts a modern shoegaze band and sings songs of regret, finds redemption. #topjamsky #vinylsky

For fans of '90s slowcore, dream pop, Elliot Smith, love, cosmic shit. #topjamsky #vinylsky

I have found myself where I needed to be. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Looking for something not as satanic, not as foreboding, something happier, than that Sunn 0))) record. Yes, "Love Vigilantes," will do #topjamsky #vinylsky

Will be listening to albums from my vinyl records collection all evening. It really helps

Music for fall harvest festivals when your harvest festival requires a sacrifice and it's your turn to bring the deity #topjamsky #vinylsky

Wildcard series game 2 song 🚀 @redsox.com x @yankees.com Let’s go Boston!

Press play on the live Can set, take a big 'ol drag from a freshly packed bowl, and as long as I didn't skip a step in the instructions, I will be in nirvana in five minutes. #topjamsky #vinylsky

I’ll see you your big words and raise you the I’m buddhist card

I challenge Stephen Miller to a hardcore, no holds-barred, steel cage match on July 4th, in front of the White House during the fascist birthday party

Say what you will about Evan Dando and the Lemonheads (often brilliant, too often too high), the man could always produce a great cover. The Car Button Cloth deluxe edition includes covers of Oasis, Whitney Houston, Metallica, and REO Speedwagon. #topjamsky #vinylsky

A reprieve from my bullshit sinuses also means we can have a top jam session tonight. First up, the new LP by Wednesday #topjamsky #vinylsky

Today's ride was the ride I wanted to do Sunday before my bullshit sinuses stopped me: Stage Road - Lime Pond - Broad Brook - East Barnard - Royalton Turnpike and back to Stage Road. And, it felt good to have good views and good legs along a 25 mile route with 2500 ft elevation. #bikeVT #bikeSky

Weed party, the song by Band of Horses, makes me happy even when I'm not having a weed party. The true mark of a top jam. youtu.be/fublQvTZEUY?...

I don't know, man. One of the finest to ever serve in the armed forces was a dude in a dress. I think Secretary Whiskey has this one wrong.

“You kill people and break things for a living” could easily have been something I made my Skeletor or Cobra Commander action figures say to their plastic minions in 1986.

The United States may suck ass, but Mama Earth will continue to inspire. Here, have some trees, courtesy of the Hartford, Vermont town forest.
