Spinning into spooky season with 8 LPs to summon chills, thrills, and the perfect soundtrack for Halloween vibes. Which one would you dare to play first? #NowPlaying #Halloween #MusicSky #VinylSky

I oppose violence, but “I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass” sounds good today. #NowPlaying #YoLaTengo #CDSaturday #MusicSky #IndieRock #YLT

#BestSongHeardToday #MusicChallenge “Where’d You Go?” - Horsegirl Lead track from one of the best LPs of 2025 #VinylVerdicts #MusicSky

How to tell if a band is punk or new wave … Usually, if they’re angry, abrasive, or ugly → it’s punk. If they’re attractive, melodic, or employable → it’s new wave. #SortingMechanism #Punk #NewWave #SnarlVsSynth #MusicSky #VinylSky

How to locate little barrels of joy when every second counts...

#SongsIWasWrongAbout #musicSky #vinyl CONFESSION: In '88 I was all-in on GN'R crashing the hair-band party with more punch than polish. REALIZATION: “One in a Million” has a killer Stones vibe—but its lyrics blast ignorance at full volume. Link👇 on how a hate crime flipped my take on this tune.

#VinylVerdicts2025 Messy, brilliant, impossible to ignore, Wet Leg’s "Moisturizer" hits harder than anything else this year with razor-sharp wit, chaotic hooks, and fearless genre jumps. #nowspinning #wetleg #musicsky #indierock youtu.be/hmvcIk-ko5g?...

Now spinning Kasabian because sometimes a menacing mess of dancefloor haze, hypnotic beats, and fists-in-the-sky energy is best for shaking off the week and kicking the weekend wide open. #CDSaturday #NowPlaying #IndieSleaze #MusicSky #MusicCollection #2000s

The Ordinary Boys 𝘖𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘊𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 (2004) #NowPlaying #CDSky #CDSaturday

Firing up the Wayback Machine to all the great nights catching rising indie bands at Bottom of the Hill in SF. Beulah was poppier and more polished than most Elephant 6 bands—seeing them open for The Dandy Warhols at Great American Music Hall in 2000 was an all-timer. #CDSky #CDFriday #IndieRock

#Plagiarythm 🤔 The opening guitar riffs in 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘚𝘶𝘨𝘢𝘳, 𝘉𝘰𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘓𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘠𝘰𝘶, & 𝘓𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘉𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩 by The Ordinary Boys all share a loose, swinging feel, a I-IV-V progression, and Keef-style open-string strumming. 🎸 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻? Start at :15 below👇 #MusicSky #NowSpinning #AllMusic #Vinyl

#VinylVerdicts2025 Kestrel’s 𝘉𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘞𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 sounds like what would happen if My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive had a love child raised on disillusionment and disorienting waves of shoegaze. 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴! #NowPlaying #Kestrel #MusicSky #VinylSky #NewMusic2025 #Shoegaze #NowSpinning

If you'd told me three decades ago that shoegaze would be a choice vibe for 20-somethings, I'd have said your brain was buried beneath layers of reverb. #MusicSky #VinylSky #Shoegaze #IndieRock #90s #VinylCollection #DreamPop #90sKidsKnewFirst

#needledrops 🎧 Today's listening doubles as a mini English lesson. With Clinic, we get the old-fashioned "thee" for addressing one person, while Van Morrison's first backing band, "them" is a modern third-person plural object pronoun. #NowPlaying #Clinic #VanMorrison #VinylSky #MusicSky

#Plagiarythm This isn't copying per se... it's more likely a coincidental love for the same guitar tone. But listen to how similar both guitar parts sound! Shawdowplay at 1:08 & The Ledge at 1:47 #NowPlaying #NowSpinning #MusicSky #VinylSky #JoyDivision #TheReplacements #VinylCommunity 1/2 👇

#needledrops 🎧 "Lucretia My Reflection" throbs like a factory heartbeat. A nihilistic march where the bass line's God and Andrew Eldritch preaches like a doomsday prophet who just ran out of smokes. 🚬 #NowPlaying #SistersOfMercy #VinylSky #DarkWave #VinylCommunity #NowSpinning #PostPunk #1980s

It's a beautiful snow," said the guy who didn't have to shovel or drive in it.

Post a female character that you love.

#SongsIWasWrongAbout CONFESSION: I didn’t consider Kelly Clarkson a ‘true’ artist since she didn't follow the traditional path to stardom. REALIZATION: It's a masterclass in flawlessly blending words, music, and meaning that still sounds amazing. @popculture2000s.bsky.social #MusicSky #2000s

"Wait, I had other catchphrases!" said the guy who first said, "shit-eating grin."

#needledrops 🎧 The groove in this song is peak badass. The video's cool as Kim Deal. And the Dandys are the epitome of slacker charm with a hedonistic, psychedelic art-rock aesthetic. @thedandywarhols.bsky.social #NowPlaying #NowSpinning #AllMusic #VinylSky #MusicSky #IndieRock #1990s #Portland

In our continued effort to get to know members of our Bluesky community better, we’re curious…who are your five favorite FEMALE SINGERS / VOCALISTS of all time? 1. Elizabeth Fraser 2. Johnette Napolitano 3. Ann Wilson 4. Debbie Harry 5. Beth Gibbons

#SongsIWasWrongAbout CONFESSION: At first, I couldn't stand this too cheerful novelty tune from three TRL-ready blonde kids. REALIZATION: It’s a perfect pop song that burrows its way into your brain. Hanson actually wrote and performed it, and were too young to fake sincerity. #Music #MTV #90stv

#Plagiarythm Did Gary Numan’s "M.E." inspire Minutemen’s "Two Beads at the End" and Basement Jaxx’s "Where’s Your Head At"? 🤔 All three share similar chord progressions. Is it a coincidence or uncredited homage? See comments to hear for yourself! 👇 #NowSpinning #MusicSky #VinylCommunity

#CoverStory This iconic cover was shot by by photographer Sean McCabe in either Mexico City or Queens in 2002. A glowing red theater marquee set against a black void, captures the album's dark atmosphere and cryptic themes. #NowPlaying #Interpol #IndieSleaze #MusicSky #VinylCollection #Matador

"I hate Mondays." Said the guy who foolishly disliked one-seventh of his life.

#WrightestLinesEver I used to be indecisive. Now I’m not sure. Bought some used paint. It was in the shape of a house. I spilled spot remover on my dog. Now he's gone. If a parsley farmer gets sued, do they garnish his wages? I put my money in the blender. Now I have liquid assets.

Did you love the opening montage of 50 YEARS OF SNL MUSIC by Questlove & Oz Rodriguez? Then check out Go Home Productions, Hood Internet, and Girl Talk. Their brilliant mashups fuse samples from all music genres into a high-energy party for your ears. #NowPlaying #Mashups #MusicSky #2000s

Oh hey, we're leaning into graphic design and typography now because thrash metal doesn’t pay the bills anymore.

Decades before social media turned everyone into a pin on the grid, tracking down your friends meant finding a heap of Huffy BMX & Schwinn 10-speed bikes crumpled in a front yard. #GenX #80s #Nostalgia #RetroBMX #Bicycle

#NowPlaying This LP is permanently stained with the nicotine fingers of ‘90s angst. It still matters because few have figured out a better way to sound emotionally wrecked without sugarcoating heartbreak. @superchunk.bsky.social @mergerecords.bsky.social #MusicSky #IndieRock #VinylSky #1990s

"I don't disagree with you," said the guy who agreeably disagreed to some degree.

Red skies at night, Bluesky’s delight.

#needledrops 🎧 Seeing Johnny Marr on his 2013 'The Messenger' tour was a revelation: Morrissey never captured the same magic performing old Smiths songs. Even with thinner & tentative vocals, Marr proved he and his shimmering guitar were the true stars all along. #NowPlaying #MusicSky #VinylSky

#Plagiarythm #Radiohead clearly nicked this piano part from Sexy Sadie by The #Beatles -- proof that even fate flatters through imitation. After all, The Fab Four themselves borrowed freely from others, creating a full-circle echo in 1997. 1 of 2... See comment to hear for yourself. 👇 #MusicSky

#needledrops 🎧 "Forgive them, even if they are not sorry." This one's packed with great lines about disillusionment and deeper understanding. It reflects the layered idea of the 11th dimension in physics—a realm beyond ordinary perception. #NowPlaying #JulianCasablancas #IndieSleaze #MusicSky

#SongsIWasWrongAbout CONFESSION: At first, I misjudged Aimee Mann's music as too melancholic and moody. REALIZATION: This song's lyrical complexity and understated, but poignant vocal delivery taps into a profound and moving sense of vulnerability. #FilmSky #MusicSky @aimeemann.bsky.social

#Plagiarhythm It’s less ‘stealthy sampling’ and more like Coldplay left a polite note saying, ‘Dear Kraftwerk, hope you don’t mind—we’re just borrowing your entire melody. Cheers!' Part 1 of 2... Check the comment below to hear for yourself. 👇 #MusicSky #AllMusic #Coldplay #Kraftwerk

CONFESSION: At 13, dismissed The Boys of Summer as an old dude whining about first love. REALIZATION: It’s a Mike Campbell tune and Henley was only 38! Today, themes of lost innocence, nostalgic longing, and the "Deadhead sticker" lyric with that guitar outro oozes wisdom. #MusicSky #MTV #1980s

#needledrops The Darling Buds deserved better. Erotica is a darn near perfect album, but they never caught on for some reason. Maybe, like Big Star's LP #1 Record, the "Sure Thing" title tempted the fates and jinxed it. 🤷‍♂️ #NowPlaying #MusicSky #1990s
