Five 70s flicks that you love and return to time and again Barry Lyndon The Long Goodbye The French Connection Alien The Jerk

John Frusciante - Inside Of Emptiness (2004) I prefer Frusciante’s solo music to The Red Hot Chili Peppers. There, The said it. #Vinyl

Son Volt - Trace (1995) Another mid-90s Alt. Country classic released by Rhino. #Vinyl

Stereolab - Low Fi (1992) Nothing better for a national strike than some Marxist Pop! #Vinyl

The Strokes - Is This It (2001) Decided to go with the US cover this time. #Vinyl

Radiohead - Hail To The Thief (Live Recordings 2003-2009) (2025) Very few things in life have brought me as much joy as seeing Radiohead perform live. #Vinyl

Death From Above 1979 - You’re A Woman, I’m A Machine (2004) Between this band, James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy label/Remixes, and CSS hit single, later generations will fail to grasp how big the term “Death From Above” was in mid-00s Indie Rock. #Vinyl

Björk - Debut (1993) I need some Icelandic pixie magic. #Vinyl

i haven't done this since twitter but at the request of 1 (one) person, OSCAR NOMINEES AS SIMPSONS SCREENCAPS THREAD

Foo Fighters - Foo Fighters (1995) Throwback to the summer of 1995 when Nirvana’s drummer put out a record where he played guitar and sung!! What a wild time to be alive! #Vinyl

Longineu Parsons - Longineu Parsons (1980) When the Black Friday RSD titles were announced I didn’t have much on my list so I went exploring titles I was unfamiliar with and came across this wonderful gem. #Vinyl

Pharoah Sanders - Izipho Zam (My Gifts) (1973) Keep the Jazz vibes going with another one of these exceptional Mack Ave. x Strata-East reissues. AAA, cut by Kevin Gray and pressed at RTI in a beautiful gatefold tip-on jacket. Sounds phenomenal. #Vinyl

The Descendants Of Mike And Phoebe - A Spirit Speaks (1974) Spike Lee’s Pop put out some good music back in the day. #Vinyl

Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy (1978) Close out my work day with some Zevon! #Vinyl

Ween - Shinola, Vol. 1 (2005) Still getting caught up on my backlog of new vinyl. This one was the main reason I got in line on RSD Black Friday. So many gems on this comp. #Vinyl

Alice In Chains - Jar Of Flies EP (1994) Probably my favorite AIC release. #Vinyl

Florry - Sounds Like… (2025) A fun one from last year. #Vinyl

Deerhoof - Milk Man (2005) Let’s get weird! #Vinyl

The Ocean Blue - The Ocean Blue (1989) Happy Saturday! Starting off the morning with these kids from Hershey, PA picking up where The Smiths left off. #Vinyl

I feel like Anthony Keidis came up with today’s Connections

Hum - Downward Is Heavenward (1998) Damn! These Hum reissues sound so great. #Vinyl

We were very lucky to score a couple tix to see Pavement this July in Portland before it sold out. Super stoked! Hopefully, they add some more dates I had more than a couple friends that were bummed that they missed out.

Spain - The Blue Moods Of Spain (1995) Happy this album received 30th (WTF!when did I get so old!!) anniversary reissue as part of Rhino’s “Rocktober” series. It’s a quality release. #Vinyl

The Mountain Goats - The Sunset Tree (2005) Kicking off Friday with gusto! #Vinyl

Karly Hartzman & MJ Lenderman - Live At Third Man Records (2025) Was super stoked to get my mitts on a copy of this when it went up for sale online…while I was standing queue at my local record store on Black Friday. #Vinyl

Tatsuro Yamashita - For You (1982) This recent repress of a City Pop classic sounds wonderful. Japan knows how to release a record. #Vinyl

Sharp Pins - Balloon Balloon Balloon (2025) Between Sharp Pins and Lifeguard Kai Slater had himself a year in 2025. Looking forward to whatever he has up his sleeve next. #Vinyl

Curtis Mayfield - Curtis (1970) This is the AAA RSD Rhino Reserve pressing and it sounds spectacular. #Vinyl

Fell down a internet deep rabbit hole trying to determine the most random/obscure celebrity to cameo on The Simpsons. Not sure I succeeded in finding an answer, but I enjoyed the research nonetheless.

Grateful Dead - Dick’s Pick, Vol. 4 Fillmore East 2/13-14 1970 Damn, just saw the news. Rest in peace Bobby. #Vinyl #GratefulDead

Frank Ocean - Channel Orange (2012) I missed this when it was originally officially (finally) released last summer. Thankfully they did a repress and was able to pick one up. Probably my favorite modern R&B artist since D’Angelo. #Vinyl

J Dilla - Donuts (2005) I already had an okay copy of this one but I had to pick up the Audiophile 45RPM pressing with a nice tip-on jacket. My other copy has the Smile cover so maybe I will hold on to both. This pressing does sound fantastic though. #Vinyl

Satellite Lovers - Sons of 1997 (1997) Their 2 albums were just reissued in Japan and was happy to order both from Tower Records Japan. They both sound great! #Vinyl

Satellite Lovers - Sons Of 1973 (1996) Getting back in the swing of things after a nice holiday season. This one was something that me (and many others) discovered via YouTube’s Algorithm. it’s a short lived Japanese Alt Rock band from the mid-90s that went fairly unnoticed at the time. #Vinyl

Elizabeth Cotten - Folksongs And Instrumentals With Guitar (1958) A wonderful gift from my Secret Santa. I was not familiar with Elizabeth Cotten but as someone who enjoys American Primitivism of John Fahey and Jim O’Rourke this is very much up my alley. Love the gift of new music.

Yes Please!

Marty Supreme is a wild ride! Great (and surprising) cast. Timmy is a superstar!

My Top albums of 2025… #BestOf2025

Bing Crosby - Merry Christmas (1945) This was the “go-to” Christmas album for my family growing up. We had the cassette tape and it’d be first thing we’d play as we began opening presents. #Vinyl

Dr. Seuss - How The Grinch Stole Christmas (1966) Fun Fact: Thurl Ravenclaw who sings the banger, “Your A Mean One Mr. Grinch” was also the original voice actor for Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes mascot, Tony The Tiger. “Therrrre Grrrreat!” #Vinyl

Vince Guaraldi Trio - A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) Time for some Christmas spins. #Vinyl

Dead Moon - In The Graveyard (1988) Portland Garage Rock Legends! #Vinyl

Just got back from Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. It was fun to them in the theater again.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

The Unicorns - Who Will Cut Our Hair When We’re Gone (2003) Some lovely art damaged pop from this short lived Canadian group. #Vinyl

Jesse Malin - The Fine Art Of Self Destruction (2002) Classic debut from an under appreciated talent. #Vinyl

The Meat Puppets - Too High To Die (1994) This was one of the reissues from 2025 that I was the most hyped about. A classic of the Alt. Rock era that hadn’t been repressed ever until this year. It’s a quality release too! #Vinyl
