Name 5 albums that had the biggest impact on your life: 1) De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising 2) Beastie Boys - License to Ill 3) Perrey & Kingsley - The In Sound From Way Out! 4) Laurie Anderson - Big Science 5) Falco - 3

So what kind of message can you create using only song titles on @touchtunes.bsky.social ? I know I’ll get shit on this one but always curious to know what kinds of messages other folks drop on the jukebox

2 years in the making… the final part of this hellish quest line… and I am now done. All this for a shiny 2* Jirachi… meh… #pokemongo

For anyone who who is looking for a great show this summer, I have to recommend seeing @mcchris.bsky.social currently touring the US. Great openers… and mc chris putting on a great 2hr set. I was absolutely exhausted the next day at work but no regrets #nerdcore

Waiting for this storm to pass before making to 30min drive up to Carborro to see @mcchris.bsky.social tonight at @catscradlenc.bsky.social #nerdcore

The moment you realized that maybe this paid quest from two years ago isn’t worth it and then you crunch the numbers that you’ve thrown 300 excellent throws in 4 days… we won’t discuss how many pokeballs have been thrown during that time. #pokemongo

Cary/Raleigh/Durham/Morrisville area!!! We are looking for tabletop gamers!!! We want you to join us on 10 July to start what we hope becomes a recurring biweekly event. If we are popular enough we can make this weekly!!! But we need game trainers and players both. Bring your games to teach!!!

RTP took a pretty good beating tonight with this storm. Several friends without power for a few more hours. Some RDU flights got diverted elsewhere. My nerves are shot… had to calm with bourbon. Storm has passed now so I can try to sleep for a short while.

Preparing for #NoKingsDay by replaying this great song from the @fishboneband.bsky.social show this past week in Raleigh

Here at The Ritz in Raleigh for the Less Than Jake Summer Circus show with @bitemebambi.bsky.social … @suicidemachines.bsky.social … @fishboneband.bsky.social … a great way to spend a Wednesday evening away from the absolute madness of the world for a few hours.

since it is Memorial Weekend here in the US, it is best to put on Guttermouth’s “Mr. Barbeque” for your safety instructions for your outdoor event. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylcollection #recordcollection #socalpunk

#nowplaying Twin Peaks compilation album while tagging the past couple of months of purchases to my Discogs listing. #nowspinning #vinylcollection #recordcollection

When you are preparing to spin vinyl for the next two days and you need snackage… no other foods count during this time

a little project I’ve been working on printing for the past week… two more pieces to go as I prepare to prime everything for painting. #cthulhu #3dprinting #3dprinted #lootstudios

I never got to do a full reveal of my #recordstoreday weekend haul. Ended up running to a couple of other local record stores on Sunday afternoon to scour to see what they had… and got more of what was on my want list. Last few items had to be bought online but I’m fine with that. #rsd2025

had to take a nap when I got home from #rsd2025… and thaw out. Finally listening to the first of three albums I picked up… Belly’s “King” RSD release. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylSky #musicSky #vinylcollection

a Happy Record Store Day to one and all!!! May the vinyl of your wishes be available and bountiful. A chilly and misty early morning found me in downtown Cary, NC at Hunky Dory Records to grab a few select albums that were wish listed but not guaranteed. #rsd2025 #recordstoreday #musicSky

Fell in love with this band back when they opened for The Cure in the 90s… and still love to just listen to them today. #nowspinning #vinylcollection #vinylSky #nowplaying #musicSky

mail delivery brought me a virgin copy of this great album… it still had its original wrapping that was disintegrating and falling apart. Center hole wasn’t cleanly punched and had to repair before spinning. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylSky #musicSky #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #vinylrecord

not at the #canes game but hoping they hold off #ovechkin from advancing on his record… make Betteman & Gretzky sit there for no reason except great Carolina hockey

Took an evening away from sitting at home & spinning vinyl to swing the clubs and hopefully hit some balls with some coworkers while we vented. It was much needed therapy for all of us… and looking forward to doing it again when the pollen count isn’t so high. #topgolfdurham

and wrapped up the evening with some Prince & The Revolution to get crazy with. #nowspinning #vinylcollection #vinylsky

from 90s techno to 80s new wave with Icicle Works… #nowspinning #vinylcollection #vinylsky

Needed a post-work pick me up so I had to toss in “Temple of Dreams” by Messiah… I need more of this 90s techno on vinyl. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylcollection #recordcollection #musicsky #vinylsky and yes, Purple Rain is spinning soon…

wrapping up the evening with some @petshopboys.co.uk “Actually”… a great album to end the weekend with. #vinylcollection #recordcollection #nowspinning #vinylsky #musicsky #vinylrecord

some Art of Noise as I’m winding down this evening… it’s been an insane 48hrs for me and this is what I need before I crash out early. One more record to spin… and then sleep. #nowspinning #nowplaying #musicsky #vinylsky #vinylcollection #recordcollection

just got back and rushed to local record shop since I saw they had gotten a copy of The Communards… it was already gone but found this one and swooped in it. #nowspinning #vinylsky #musicsky #recordcollection #vinylrecord

Second spin of the night comes from #TheChurch as I’m winding it down early tonight because that 5:30 alarm is coming sooner than expected. #vinylcollection #recordcollection #vinylsky #vinylrecord #vinylalbum #nowspinning

managed to get one of my holy grail albums on vinyl finally… original release. Condition is VG+ with one owner and I am VERY happy to have this one in my collection. #vinylcollection #recordcollection #vinylrecord #vinylsky #nowspinning #nowplaying #voiceofthebeehive

making a batch of chicken soup for the fiancée while spinning @wearedelasoul.com 20th anniversary release of “The Grind”… seemed like the perfect cooking music to be cranked up (all fingers intact). #vinylsky #vinylrecords #vinyl #vinylcollection #recordcollection #delasoul #nowspinning #nowplaying

It’s been 13 years since I’ve been here but I am feeling the itch to head back sooner than later… #stpatricksday #guinness

a couple of albums spinning this morning… started of with @wearedelasoul.com “Clear Lake Auditorium” followed by Desmond Dekkker’s “The King of Ska - Live at Dingwalls” #recordcollection #vinylcollection #vinylrecord #nowplaying #nowspinning

starting off my weekend with a plethora of Beastie Boys #vinylrecords #nowplaying #recordcollection #vinyl #records #nowspinning

almost last minute, but managed to snag a couple of tickets to see @altonbrown.bsky.social this Saturday at DPAC. It’s been a while… last time I saw him live was in SF many a moon ago when I was 40lbs lighter. Think it was 15yrs ago… or there about. But looking forward to this show.

What is this glorious read I subjected myself to? I found it quite informative with enough comedic elements to equate the DOJ to Roland from Schitts Creek. I am hoping to continue to read of these judges exclaiming WTF! from the bench more often with the inane arguments being presented by the DOJ.

question for my D&D folks out there… would you ever invoke a spell to benefit just 1 party member while putting the other 3 and yourself at a disadvantage while in combat? Had a team member cast “darkness” and then stepped btwn me & other player… 1/2

It’s a Falco kind of day… kicking off this morning right with “Einzelhaft” before moving on through the discography. #nowplaying #vinylcollection #vinylrecords

think I ate too much cheese (shhh… don’t tell anyone)… my sinuses are all blocked up now and I’m supposed to sleep? But a good board I put together… the brie got its own plate to be a gooey mess on its own. #superbowl2025

Good on Google for marking my VA newsletter as VERY suspect. A week ago, zero issues… this week the giant red flag on the email. Wondering how long before other vets start firing back at the US government about this crap that’s taking place in DC.

A long and exhausting week ends with me opting to stay in tonight and just zone out on the couch with PlutoTV’s VEVO 80’s… something about nothing but music videos is rather calming.

I have this fear of doctors… my last dr visit was APR 2019 before moving to NC. I want to schedule online/via app and not talk on the phone but no one does that here. RTP my arse… we have the technology but don’t use it. Having to pump myself up to make a person-to-person call in the morning

was going to pull off an odd quartet of albums this evening but ended up working late at the office and then at home as our IT was having issues with the VPN and I had to deal with copies I snagged from the server in-office just to do my thing. That said… office day tomorrow because VPN still down

the 2nd #DeLaSoul album that is #nowplaying is “De La Soul is Dead”, their sophomore album and just as good as their first. #vinylcollection #recordcollection I don’t have anything else by them on #vinyl at this time but am looking to get some of the re-releases soon.

a slight break from the music but we’re back to spinning some classics from the #vinylcollection. #DeLaSoul “3 Feet High & Rising” This was the one rap album that is still on heavy rotation on my various playlists. The beats and rhymes melded into a phenomenal album that still sounds great today.

sticking with L7 this morning before changing out vibe on the next platter… #nowplaying “Hungry For Stink” #vinyl reissue

Starting off my Sunday #nowplaying L7’s “Bricks Are Heavy”

It’s going to be a cold, depressing, and lonely Saturday so while I’m making my first attempt at chocolate chip cookies I’ll be selecting random platters from the collection. Do I take from what I took from the parents or what I’ve collected over the past few decades? Genre?

It’s 10:30 on a Friday night and there’s a weird air of silence around where I live. There’s typically slight sounds of cars on the nearby roads… tonight because of a snowstorm, there is no one on the roads. I was among the last of the people to travel these roads behind the snowplows for the night

A little winter weather here in Cary, North Carolina… last time I saw this was December 2019… so I’m kind of excited and yet unsure of what happens next for the RTP area.
