Recent Additions, Day 42: Adeva, Love or Lust. My friend @nilan-me.bsky.social found this at #VinylLoveHoxton and gave it to me after I begged. It's a masterful combo of house beats, hooks and diva empowerment.

Agreed. #TheDiplomat @netflix.com is much more fun than it has any right to be. I devoured the entirety of Season 2 on a plane back from London.
The Diplomat is very much my thing. You watch an episode and you really want to know what is going to happen in the next one; therefore, you keep watching. This is an interesting approach and I believe more television shows should try it.
Recent Additions, Day 41: ABBA, The Visitors. IMO, their best and most consistent album. Little symphonies of heartbreak: "I Hear The Music Speak," "When All Is Said And Done" and "Slipping Through My Fingers" work so well. #nowspinning #nowplaying #v0iny8lsky #vinylrecords #vinyloftheday #vinyl
Recent Adds to the Collection coming up. Spent a glorious week in London and Sofia, Bulgaria and came home with a suitcase of records. Will continue with the alphabetical capsule reviews after sharing a few of these.
Trip Thru The Collection Day 40: The Blow Monkeys, Whoops! There Goes The Neighbourhood. It's the old story: after a less successful outing, try to reinvent with a new sound. Here it's house and dance; not wholly unsuccessful, but only diehard fans stuck around. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky

Just back from #InternationalDirectorsSummit 2025, presented by The Drama League and ACTFest in Sofia, Bulgaria. Over a dozen directors from around the world gathered for frank discussions of the craft, the world, and the future. (We also had terrific meals, workshops, and theatre!) Until next time!
Trip Thru The Collection Day 39: The Blow Monkeys, She Was Only A Grocer's Daughter. The hooks stay strong, but the experiments get wilder. If you can find a better bootieshaker than "Celebrate (The Day After You," please send it over. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinyloftheday #vinyl
Trip Thru The Collection Day 38: The Blow Monkeys, Animal Magic. My beloved, beat up vinyl copy never lets me down. Fizzy, complex, sophisticated jazz-pop, it's guaranteed to put a smile on your face every time. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday #vinyl
Trip Thru The Collection Day 37: Black, Wonderful Life. IYKYK...one of the most criminally underrated artists of the last thirty years. ”Sweetest Smile" is a masterpiece, and "I'm Not Afraid" should have been a #1 hit. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday #vinyl

Trip Thru The Collection Day 37: Big Pig, Bonk. A chunky, percussive slice of Australian art-rock, this is one of the most peculiar one-hit wonders of the late 80's. Catchy, weird and worth a listen. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday #vinyl
Trip Thru The Collection Day 36: Beyonce, Renaissance. Because I'm gay and it's on the test. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday #vinyl
Trip Thru The Collection Day 35: Sandra Bernhard, Without You I'm Nothing. #Top25List alert. For my money, the greatest comedy album of all time. I can repeat almost all of it from memory. Brilliant, transgressive wit. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday #vinyl
