Oh my god, it finally happened:
Just about time to reach out my number one #vinyl shop and get a new record from @skeletunesrecords.com . Great punk shop, sure, but also just a great all-around shop and member of their community - the kind of shop you feel good about supporting.

Dave Matthews Band “Where Are You Going” singles collection.
DMB is definitely a greatest hits band for me and this scratches the itch, though I still want the DM/Tim Reynolds acoustic live album.
I need more chill acoustic stuff is what I’m trying to say.

Live at the Electric Factory
I saw Green Day in this era. That’s mostly what made me buy the Nimrod anniversary box. It was a life-changing show and I’ll treasure those memories forever.

Guys, I have bad news:
I can hear the difference between the regular pressing of Linkin Park’s “Hybrid Theory” and my One-Step pressing of the same album.
This is awful news. I was REALLY hoping it would all be hype.

I can feel it. This… itch. It claws at me. Makes me sweat and fidget. I check my watch all the time and look at my planner.
It’s coming. I can FEEL it.
It’s almost time to order a new record.

@shadowtodd.bsky.social I’d love to get some book recommendations on music… I don’t know, appreciation? Review? If you’re willing, I mean. I think you mentioned that a Sean Nelson book helped make you a better reviewer?
I want to develop the quality of my music appreciation if possible.

Can we talk about Rage Against The Machine (the album)? Specifically “Wake Up.”
Credits give songwriting to Zach, but I think there’s a lot of Tool in it. So much that I thought Adam Jones was playing with Tom. It’s in drop-D and breaks from the one-guitar sound in most of the rest of the album.

I just ordered a one-step record.
For testing purposes, you see.
It’s weird because I want it to sound good (because of the price) but I also DON’T want it to sound good (because of the price).

It’s getting to be that time of year when there’s not enough natural light to photograph records.
So now I have to wait for sunny days and then batch-photograph them.
It’s cool, though. I’ve never been a fan of the inconsistency of temperature that comes with sunshine in the fall/winter.
