Punk Rock Flea Market today and I picked up these amazing prints from London, ON based artist Jeremy Bruneel. He has done stuff for Epitaph, Rolling Stone, Polaris Music, and lots of Call the Office (defunct but legendary venue) gigs. The Sadies, Propagandhi and of course David Lynch.

Having some fun on a Saturday afternoon. Semi-productive day but I still don't have the tree up.

The more I drink the tastier they get. Happy Friday Beautiful People. Stay indoors it's cold out there. Drink Canadian Craft Beer. Play your albums loud and often. Get into some righteous trouble. Punch a Nazi.

Playing an album the eldest wanted me to grab for them when we were out a couple weeks ago. #vinyl #nowspinning

This 6-song EP was included in my earlier grail purchase and has a couple songs I have not heard previously so it's a real treat. I'm going to need to find the Box of Bongwater 4xCD set at some point just to be a completionist. #vinyl #nowspinning

I am in heaven. Just delivered. Gave up ever trying to find this in Canada so bit the bullet and ordered via Discogs seller in Greece. I paid too much, shipping was too much, and unexpected additional customs duties for used records is just offensive. Holy Grail Obtained. #vinyl #nowspinning

One of my record pushers dropped this on top of my stack last time I was in his shop. Said he had no idea what it was or where it came from. It is not good. Cheesy Canadian 80's pop-slop. I'm trying to decide if I lift the needle or at least give it the rest of Side A. #vinyl #nowspinning

Miserable outside but it needs to be colder. Give me a nice -10°C instead of this hovering right at freezing garbage. Everything is muddy and gross. Warming up with homemade French Onion soup and the fireplace. #vinyl #nowspinning

Lazy Saturday morning so giving this a listen while lying on the sofa staring up at the ceiling. Need to hang Christmas lights later but hoping it warms up a bit first. #vinyl #nowspinning

Fan of these guys and their 1987 debut teleports me back in time. Years ago they had a jam spot in the same shitty warehouse I was living in. They have a new best-of that was released today for RSD which I did not grab and sorta kicking myself but I was already over budget. #vinyl #nowspinning

Took a chance on Black Friday RSD and was not disappointed (more on those later) but I also found this Shins masterpiece the used bins. #vinyl #nowspinning "One day I'll be wondering how, I got so old wondering how..."

Always been a fan of The Cars in general and Ric Ocasek's songwriting in particular. This is a stellar album. Lyrics from the opening track cut deep these days "America, Nobody's getting off; We're all in this together, America; Nobody's getting off, It must be now or never". #vinyl #nowspinning

This double live album from a show in 1985 was released earlier this year (or possibly late 2024?) and YES it was a cash grab and YES I bought it anyway. #vinyl #nowspinning

Guess I'm dusting this off now. To be honest I thought Jimmy Cliff had already passed. R.I.P. "The oppressors are trying to keep me down, trying to drive me underground, and they think they have got the battle won, I say forgive them Lord, they no not what they've done." #musicsky #nowplaying

This album doesn't have great reviews online. Not the songs or the band but this live recording from 1978 is described as being 'bootleg quality'. Seems OK to me. I'm happy. Just like The Rezillos, who were always more happy fun than some of their peers at the time. #vinyl #nowspinning

Hit Grooves Wortley on our way back from dropping spawn at the dorm and a Costco run. Someone had just unloaded a bunch of 4AD releases. Sad for them. Happy for us. This filled a hole in the better half's collection. #vinyl #nowspinning

Got dragged craft shopping with the better half today (her project for decorating the children's room at the public library) ended up in that store that sells stuff from other stores that went under. #vinyl #nowspinning
