Rocket From The Crypt - Scream, Dracula, Scream! (1995) This one had been on my want list for quite a while stoked that Interscope finally got around to repressing it. #Vinyl

Gin Blossoms - Congratulations I’m Sorry (1996) Love that this repress includes bonus tracks including the single from the Empire Records soundtrack (very mediocre movie, quality soundtrack) “Til I Hear It From You”. #Vinyl

A.C. Newman - The Slow Wonder (2004) As much as I love Neko and Dan, Carl’s pop sensibility is what really makes The New Pornographers special. #Vinyl

Destroyer - Kaputt (2011) Dan Bejar is so consistently brilliant. I take him for granted. #Vinyl

Neko Case & Her Boyfriends - Furnace Room Lullaby (2000) I’ll always have a soft spot for this one due to the Tacoma-heavy lyrical content. #Vinyl

The New Pornographers - Electric Version (2003) This was my introduction to The New Pornographers, Neko Case, Carl Newman, and Dan Bejar. This record is pop perfection with each party adding a unique element to build on a whole that is greater than its parts. #Vinyl

Damn, I just saw that James Burrows passed. He was responsible for some of the funniest TV shows ever. I read and really enjoyed his book last summer.

Beck -Odelay (1996) Happy 30th anniversary to this quintessential 90s masterpiece. Still got my two turntables and a microphone. #Vinyl

Phish - New Year's Eve 1995 - Live At Madison Square Garden (2005) Finally decided today was the day to break out this 6xLP behemoth. Phish at their best #Vinyl

Kevin Morby - Little Wide Open (2026) Latter day Morby (post-Singing Saws) has been a bit hit and miss with me but the new one hits hard. I am born and raised Midwesterner so I am a bit of an easy target but damn if this album doesn’t give me the feels. #Vinyl

Kurt Vile - Philadelphia’s Been Good To Me (2026) I love me some KV!! This album makes me wish I was from Philly and “Zoom 97” is the song of my summer 2026. Vinyl sounds wonderful to boot! #Vinyl

Parliament - Mothership Connection (1975) Turning up the Funk!!! MoFi makin’ the whole room bounce. #Vinyl

Former Bulls player, Wonderful Bulls broadcast color analysts Stacey King passed away at 59. Dude made a lot of bad Bulls basketball watchable and a few bits of good Bulls basketball unforgettable. #RIP youtu.be/J_LQmvFpwbU

My New Band Believe - My New Band Believe (2026) Some more good new shit. #Vinyl

Sunday Mourners - A-Rhythm Absolute (2026) Lots of really fantastic new bands dropping AOTY contenders this year. This LA band is near the top of my list for 2026 at the midway point. #Vinyl

Mudhoney - Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge (1991) More Mudhoney. #Vinyl

Mudhoney - Superfuzz Bigmuff (1988) More Grunge. #Vinyl

L7 - Hungry For Stink (1994) Feelin’ kinda grungy today. #Vinyl

Geese - 3D Country (2023) Oh No! I’ve been psyopped! #Vinyl

We went to Spokane, over Memorial Day weekend. It was a blast.! We ate some good food, drank some tasty beer, and enjoyed the Expo ‘74 Riverfront Park. Saw the garbage goat in action, road on a sky tram over the river and found a giant red wagon. Also purchased a few albums Resurrection Records.

Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - Pig Lib (2003) Happy Birthday to Stephen Malkmus! 60 years old today! #Vinyl

Grateful Dead - Boston Music Hall - Boston, MA - June 11, 1976 (2026) My final RSD 2026 title. I have quite a back log and the box sets are the toughest releases to set aside and play all the way through. Love this show. It sounds great and I didn’t own any live dead from ‘76 until now. vinyl

Neil Young - Early Daze (2024) A collection of early Neil Young & What would become Crazy Horse from 1969 & 1970. #Vinyl

The Replacements Tim (Let It Bleed Edition) (1985) The Ed Stasium mix really does add another level of greatness to the already phenomenal album. #Vinyl

Acetone - York Blvd. (2001) Closing out this month’s Catalog Club with their final album. #Vinyl

Beachwood Sparks - The Tarnished Gold (2012) At this point The Sparks release an album a decade and I am am completely fine with that as long as they keep making great records. #Vinyl

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Déjà Vu (1970) Found a few nice Japanese pressing at my local the other day. This sounds fantastic! #Vinyl

Top 10 Beatles songs (off the top of my head). 1. I’ve Just Seem A Face 2. While My Guitar Gently Weeps 3. Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) 4. You Never Give Me Your Money 5. Girl 6. Good Day Sunshine 7. Paperback Writer 8. We Can Work It Out 9. Here Comes The Sun 10. Tomorrow Never Knows

Acetone - Acetone (1997) Time for the penultimate episode of this month’s Catalogs Club. This is my favorite Acetone record. Perfect presentation of what made them special as a band. #Vinyl

Acetone - I Guess I Would (1995) Time for Part Two of this month’s Catalog Club play Through. #Vinyl

This month’s Acetone Catalog Club has been on point. I’ve decided I want to play along at home…

Free·Man - Free·Man (2014) More Ween/RSD releases. This is Aaron Freeman AKA Gene Ween’s solo project. These last couple months have been fantastic for record collecting Ween fans lots of great reissues dropping. #Vinyl

Ween - Europe "90" (2026) Back to my RSD releases and more Ween. #Vinyl

Ween - Quebec (2003) I can’t stress enough how nice it is to have some quality affordable copy of Ween albums out in the aether. #Vinyl

Ween - White Pepper (2000) The amount of times almost caved and overpaid for a shitty Plain pressing of this. So happy I waited. Now all I need is Pure Guava, 12 Golden Country Greats and especially The Mollusk and I will be completely set. #Vinyl

Martin Denny - Afro-Desia (1959) Break out the rum and tiki mugs, time for some more exotica on the Hi-Fi! #Vinyl

Martin Denny - Quiet Village (1959) Went to my local, Hi-Voltage Records to pick up the new Phish and Ween reissues and found some OG Martin Denny Exotica record in the “recent arrivals” bin so I added them to my stack as well. #Vinyl

James Carter, Cyrus Chestnut, Ali Jackson, Reginald Veal - Gold Soundz (2005) Another fun one from RSD. Pavement but make it jazzy! #Vinyl

We made it to the Waxahatchee & MJ Lenderman show last night at the Paramount and it was an incredible experience. We’s seen them both live individually but this show they played together and it was a skeletal nearly all acoustic performance. They traded off songs and played some fantastic covers.

MJ Lenderman - Boat Songs (2022) This music seems scientifically designed to complement a beer in the backyard while grilling out. #Vinyl

Waxahatchee - Out In The Storm (2017) This is probably my least favorite Waxahatchee album but it’s still a great record. #Vinyl

MJ Lenderman - Ghost Of Your Guitar Solo (2021) This is a nice set but he’s really fleshed out a lot of these tunes on stage over the last few years “Someone Left the Grill Out In The Rain” is one of my favorites live. #Vinyl

Waxahatchee - Ivy Tripp (2015) This was my favorite album of 2015 and it might not be even my favorite Waxahatchee album. #Vinyl

MJ Lenderman - MJ Lenderman (2019) I didn’t catch on to Lenderman until Boat Songs so I had to play some catch up with his discography. His early work is a bit varied (in a good way) but he was already establishing himself as a clever songwriter and a killer guitarist. #Vinyl

Waxahatchee - Cerulean Salt (2013) I think we might be seeing Kate and MJ tomorrow evening so I figured It would be fun to pre-game a bit today. #Vinyl

Masayoshi Takanaka - On Guitar (1978) And yet another excellent RSD release. This pressing jumps out the speakers. It sounds crazy good! #Vinyl

Name your top 15 TV shows ever, gut instincts only Cheers The Simpsons Seinfeld 30 Rock Arrested Development Newhart Bob’s Burgers Mad Men The Wire Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul Freaks & Geeks Sopranos Andor Game Of Thrones Band Of Brothers

10 favorite films, off the top of my head Raising Arizona Rushmore Dazed & Confused Pulp Fiction Ghostbusters Anchorman Billy Madison Caddyshack Kicking & Screaming The Long Goodbye

Buster Williams - Pinnacle (1975) Still working through my Record Store Day pick ups. There with a few outstanding Jazz releases but this one is my favorite. Excellent pressing, cut, and packaging. A+ all around. #Vinyl
