Ace Frehley was one of my first heroes. The silver boots, the smoke, the swagger; he made rock feel larger than life. For a kid with a cheap guitar, that was enough to dream big.

Rest in peace, Spaceman! #AceFrehley

Rereading beloved books is better than reading them for the first time.

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread:

I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong.

So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

Anyone else have one of those bins of records close to your TT that are constantly in rotation? @GoGo-Penguin’s “Necessary Fictions” is definitely one of mine. #Vinyl #VinylCollection #VinylCommunity

Agreed! Love that these bands are releasing stuff like this. Their Relix sessions record is fantastic as well.

The new Eggy “Selects: Here and Now Tour 2025” vinyl looks and sounds amazing! I love the retro hand-drawn cover art and that blue splatter pressing! Totally captures their laid-back, psychedelic jam vibe while feeling like a proper collector’s piece. #Vinyl #VinylCollection #VinylCommunity

This record hits hard!

Mdou Moctar's anti-colonial message works well as an anti-fascist message, too. You don't even need to speak the language. The music of uprising is universal. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Anyone else in Portland heading to see Magoo at the Jack London Revue on Friday?

Classic!

Stopped by Evergreen Vinyl yesterday for their ‘Soft Sunday’ preview and had a great chat with Avi, the owner, who was busy labeling records and clearly knows his stuff. Picked up these two gems for the collection and can’t wait for their grand opening on Saturday, October 18th! #VinylCommunity

Great record that was so ahead of its time when it was released in 2005. 🙌🏼
