The Dance - In Lust (1982) I picked up this, another early 1980s Post-Punk gem from the same Sundazed “Tote Bag Bundle” sale that Pulsallama record I spun earlier this week. This one is nearly as fun and has me bopping through by Saturday chores before the Final Four this afternoon. #Vinyl

Terry Riley - A Rainbow In Curved Air (1969) An proto-synth masterpiece to kick off my Friday listening. #Vinyl

Desmond Dekker & The Aces - Action (1968) I think it’s workin’ I seem some sun rays blasting through those clouds. #Vinyl

Jack Johnson - Brushfire Fairytales (2001) Needs some sunny vibes after a gloomy few days weatherwise. Hopefully this will help breakthrough the clouds. #Vinyl

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Southern Accents (1985) A very nice demonstration Promo on Quiex-II vinyl. Sounds excellent. #Vinyl

Pulsallama - Pulsallama (2020) This one was new to me. I picked up as part of a discount bundle based mainly on the album art. Turns out they were an early 80s all female percussive based post punk group from NYC that never released a proper album. This is a comp of their entire catalog. # Vinyl

Sharp Pins - Turtle Rock (2023) Love that we’re still making artists like Kai Slater in these fucked up times. #Vinyl

Stereolab - Mars Audiac Quintet (1994) Given it’s No King’s Day this 90s Marxist Pop masterpiece still resonates across space and time and at least you can dance to it. #Vinyl

Bulls-Knicks was appointment viewing growing up. Pippen had some monster moments that will be etched in my brain forever.

Siouxsie And The Banshees - Once Upon A Time/The Singles (1981) I am not a huge compilation guy but sometimes they are essential especially when a band releases a bunch of awesome non-album singles. #Vinyl

Papa M - Live From The Shark Tank (1999) Aerial M, Papa M, etc… whatever Dave Pajo wants to call himself, I am a fan. #Vinyl

Satya Sai Maitreya Kali (Craig Smith) - Apache (1972) This was a fun pick up from last RSD Black Friday, some acid fried folk rock. #Vinyl

Orville Peck - Pony (2019) Howdy! #Vinyl

The Stills - Logic Will Break Your Heart (2003) I was so stoked when I found out MOV had reissued this record. One of the great “The” bands from the 00s these guys were from Montreal and kinda got lost in the shuffle. Still this record is fantastic all the way through. #Vinyl

Cameron Winter - Heavy Metal (2024) While I’ve been a big fan of Geese since 3D Country, Cameron’s solo album took me a bit longer to warm up too. At this point though I think I’ve come all the way around. #Viny

The Jim Carroll Band - Catholic Boy (1980) This was a recent discovery. I just learned that the writer of Basketball Diaries released a punk record and that it was really effing good. #Vinyl

We went to Project Hail Mary last weekend and Wow! What a fun movie. Gosling is charming as ever and it’s a good thing too since almost 3/4 of the film he’s either acting alone or with a puppet and what a puppet Rocky turned out to be. I haven’t cared that much about an alien since E.T.

The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin (1999) I love a good lenticular cover and when the lenticular cover is from a 1966 Life magazine photo of Neal Cassidy dancing with his shadow while tripping balls, that’s even better still. #Vinyl

Daniel Lopatin - Marty Supreme Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (2025) I don’t pick up many soundtracks but this one really stuck with me after the end credits rolled. #Vinyl

The Ocean Blue - The Ocean Blue (1989) Time for some underrated jangle pop. #Vinyl

Sonic Youth - Washing Machine (1995) This is my original 1995 pressing. Featuring “Diamond Sea” which was Sonic Youths “Dark Star” (but with way more distortion and noise). #Vinyl

Grateful Dead - In The Dark (1987) Starting on my Saturday grateful. #Vinyl

Melvins - Stoner Witch (1994) Now headed west on the Olympic Highway to Montesano, Wa for the Melvins second album on Atlantic, my favorite Melvins album. #Vinyl

Tad - Inhaler (1993) Headin’ North on I-5 up to Seattle for Tad’s major label debut. They didn’t breakthrough but they still put out one heck of a record. #Vinyl

Seaweed - Weak (1992) Keeping it local with my spins today. Nothing more local than Tacoma’s own Seaweed. The band sorely needs a reissue campaign. Only their final album has ever been reissued. #Vinyl

32 years ago today, Homer Simpson backed into the bushes for the first time and an Internet meme was born. #TheSimpsons episode “Homer Loves Flanders” first aired on March 17, 1994.

Toadies - Rubberneck (1994) I used to call my local radio station and request they’d play “Possum Kingdom” frequently. #Vinyl

Sebadoh - Bake Sale (1994) The other side of the J Mascis/Lou Barlow schism. We also got one of the best Sebadoh albums in 1994. #Vinyl

Dinosaur Jr. - Without A Sound (1994) My introduction to Dinosaur Jr. came via The fantastic Spike Jonze directed video of J and Murph playing golf throughout the street of NYC. #Vinyl

Meat Puppets - Too High To Die (1994) 1994 was a fantastic year for music, probably the peak of Alt. Rock’s popularity amongst the masses. Prior to boy bands and Nu-Metal taking over MTV. #Vinyl

Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (1994) Kicking off my Saturday with one of my all time favorite albums by one of my all time favorite bands. This is my 2007 pressing cut by Kevin Grey and pressed at RTI. The best sounding version you can find. #Vinyl

Geese - Live At Third Man Records (2026) Glad there are still a few bands making rock & roll relevant in 2026. #Vinyl

Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill (1995) An absolute juggernaut of a record. Nearly half the tracks were heavy rotation singles for much of 1995 and 1996. #Vinyl

Girls Against Boys - House Of GVSB (1996) Another killer record from 1996. This is an original pressing I snagged at a local record show last weekend. #Vinyl

Soul Coughing - Irresistible Bliss (1996) I was pretty obsessed with this CD for a few months my freshman year of high school. Happy to now own it on wax. #Vinyl

Down In The Valley just started their own label, Old 96ers and for their first release they dropped 4 live Meat Puppet 7” EPs all from early in their career, 81/82. Each released was limited to 300 and exclusive to a different record store, Down In The Valley, Darkside, Josey, and Zia… #Vinyl

Liquid Mike - Hell is An Airport (2025) One of my faves from last year. #Vinyl

Khana Bierbood - Strangers From The Far East (2019) Time to liven things up with some lo-fi surf rock from Thailand via the wonderful Guru Guru Brain label. #Vinyl

Brian Eno - Ambient 1 (Music For Airports) (1979) This is an original Japanese press and is one of the most serene pieces ever put to tape. #Vinyl

The Beatles - Help! (1965) This is a 1982 Odeon Japanese Mono reissue on red wax. It’s a great option if you’re looking for a good quality mono AAA pressing. #Vinyl

Sonic Youth - A Thousand Leaves (1998) Enjoying some Obi Strips today. This is an OG Japan pressing of one of Sonic Youths under appreciated works. #Vinyl

Went to the NW Record Show in Seattle today and did some damage. Superchunk - No Pocky For Kitty (1991) Soul Coughing - Irresistible Bliss (1996/2015) Girls Against Boys - House of GVSB (1996) Girls Against Boys - Freak•on•Ica (1998)

Townes Van Zandt - Live At The Old Quarter, Houston, Texas (1977) Woulda been Townes 82 birthday today. #Vinyl

Black Marble - It’s Immaterial (2016) Just picked up the ten year anniversary reissue of this one. My how time flies. #Vinyl

Low Hey What (2021) Low’s swan song was another masterclass in quiet dissonance. Over 25 years of beautiful brilliance. #Vinyl

Happy Bandcamp Friday. Did ya pick up anything interesting? I went heavy on the Portland Power Pop today. I purchased the recent reissue of Sunset Valley 1999 sophomore album, and both Bory records. I also purchased the most recent digital Water Damage release. Good stuff #BandcampFriday

Should - Feed Like Fishes (1998) Another wonderful Slowcore/Shoegaze reissue from Numero Group. #Vinyl

Guided By Voices - For All Good Kids (1995) I have three of the official “Bootleg” GBV live albums, this is only one that’s a single disc and while the others are great this one is complete gas from start to finish. #Vinyl

Spacemen 3 - Dreamweapon (1990) 44+ minutes of repetitive instrumental drone rock isn’t for everyone, you’ve had to have experimented with just the right amount of drugs to fully appreciate it in it’s fully glory. #Vinyl

Matt Sweeney & Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy - Superwolf (2005) Yeah, 2005 had some killer tunes. #Vinyl
