Doesn’t get any more 90s grunge then the Singles soundtrack and it had a birthday yesterday. I still have my original CD. This is the Newberry Comics pressing from 2017 on a really nice marbled vinyl. #singlessoundtrack #grunge #vinylcommunity #recordcollection #records #morningcommutemusic

Tuesday with Screaming Trees, Wrong Turn To Johannnam. Released for RSD back in 2023 it’s a cool in studio session from the guys. RIP ML! . #screamingtrees #grunge #vinylcommunity #recordcollection #morningcommutemusic #recordcollector #marklanegan

It’s finally Friday and Danzig had a birthday earlier in the week. So HBD Danzig with my beat up copy from my college years. This record got a lot of play back then. Need to get the new RSD essential vinyl press at some point. #danzig #glenndanzig #cdcollector #cdcollection #morningcommutemusic

Thursday Morning with Metal Urbain’s, Anarchy In Paris! French Electro Punk or something close to that moniker. This a solid collection of all the bands late 70s releases. #metalurbain #anarchyinparis #cdcollector #cdcollection #morningcommutemusic

This record had a birthday yesterday. A Ghost Is Born was born and I’m spinning my Japanese pressing I picked up in Tokyo back in 2005 while on vacation in Japan. This press has the bonus track Kicking Television. #wilco #aghostisborn #cdcollection #cdcollector #morningcommutemusic

This morning it’s The Rolling Stones, Some Girls. Haven’t spun the Stones in a while. Had originally on cassette but look carefully I upgraded to a clean copy for 4 bucks back when vinyl was cheap. A good investment. . #rollingstones #somegirls #vinylcommunity #recordcollection #morningcommutemusic

Hard to decide at 6 am which record to play. Found myself staring at my Mudhoney collection. Now which of these have I not spun in a while? Live At Third Man Records for the win! . #mudhoney #liveatthirdmanrecords #vinylcommuníty #recordcollection #morningcommutemusic

Probably a little late but I was on vacation sort of. Got the new Social D and have spent a day listening to it. Love it, a great return for Ness and the guys. I got the splatter variant. Looks good, sounds great! #socialdistortion #borntokill #vinylcommunity #recordcollection #morningcommutemusic

Tuesday commute with more RSD picks. The Cult, Weapon of Choice or alternate Choice of Weapon. I actually prefer this version of the record with earlier tougher versions. It’s a great upgrade from my old iTunes files. #thecult #weaponofchoice #recordstoreday2026 #vinylcommunity #morningcommutemusic

This mornings commute is brought to us by For Squirrels. Finally after all these years I got a copy of their first album. Baypath Road originally on CD only and very pricey on Discogs.

This morning commute is brought to us by The Violets, Athens, GA 1988-1992. Picked up at RSD 2020 just based on title alone. It’s a great collection of a really fun sounding band. From Athens, GA how can you go wrong. #theviolets #athensga #vinylcommunity #recordcollection #morningcommutemusic

Thought some B-52’s were in order this morning. Nothing like Planet Claire in the morning. #theb52s #rocklobster #vinylcommunity #recordcollection #morningcommutemusic

Monday morning with another R.E.M. anniversary yesterday. 43 years ago Murmur dropped when I was 14 but I discovered it at 16 and never looked back. It’s still an amazing listen after all these years. #rem #murmur #vinylcommunity #recordcollection #morningcommutemusic

Hey it’s Friday with yesterday’s birthday album. Nashville Skyline turned 57 and is still a little older than me. This record has become one of my favorite Dylan records over the years. Long story there. #bobdylan #nashvilleskyline #vinylcommunity #recordcollection #morningcommutemusic

"Listen up dude, you don't want to be messing with our Pope," says Italian street cat.

This morning I was reminded of Leonard Cohen and how it’s been too long since I last spun the great voice. So this morning’s commute is brought to us by I’m Your Man. Such a great record! #leonardcohen #imyourman #cdcollectors #cdcollection #morningcommutemusic

This mornings commute is another loud one with the new Melvins with Napalm Death. Savage Imperial Death March on Absurd Aqua vinyl, or in my opinion blue vinyl. Well I have it and that’s a good thing. #melvins #napalmdeath #savageimperialdeathmarch #vinylcommuníty #vinyl #morningcommutemusic

Yesterday was the 46th Anniversary of R.E.M.s first show in Athens, GA. As always I’m a day behind. Going with Chronic Town EP this morning. Happy Anniversary R.E.M. #rem #chronictown #vinylcommunity #recordcollection #recordcollectors #morningcommutemusic
