Found this mail-in offer inside Ace Frehley's Solo Kiss album. Imagine the Kiss Army for only $5 and that belt buckle!

Merch was pretty cool back in the day :)

I don’t write long-form stuff much anymore, but today is an exception. If you know me, you know exactly why that is.

The original PlayStation and I have a lot of history. More than 30 years of history. And it’s worth writing about my related experiences & feelings on its American birthday.

Happy 30th, PlayStation!

It was 30 years ago today, September 9th, after weeks of paying down my preorder and waiting impatiently for the "next generation" to arrive that I picked up my PlayStation console from Electronics Bo...

As #vinyl sales rise, #TinyVinyl offers #collectible 4-inch records from major artists. Tiny Vinyl is a mere 4-inches but is still packaged like a standard size LP in a cardboard sleeve with an inner sleeve to protect the vinyl

In the mid-90s I lived in walking distance of Tower Records and spent a large amount of time there. That was also a time in which CD-singles were popular. The same physical size as a standard album…

Grilling out with #Kiss Alive II

8-Bit Central @8bitcentral.bsky.social · 11d

Stopped by the local record store this afternoon. Great way to end the week and far more repairative than therapy. Left with Ace Frehley's Kiss solo album picture disc and Bad Company's Straight Shooter

Starting my day productively by draining the outdoor shower pipes into a cheese balls container.

Went to work with Frehley's Comet. Love this album and remember my excitement, when I bought it, to see what #Ace would do in his solo career! He rocked this album.

Found #TintedWindows in my jacket pocket when I left. I need a better organizational system for CDs, lol
