Ages ago I bought these ghost pepper pickles. I thought, it's Gedney. This is probably 4 out of 5 spice, tops.

I was wrong.

The other jar was normal dill brine I transferred the spicy ones into, in an attempt to chill them out & labeled "FUCK OFF" as a reminder.

That was before the pandemic

Roxy & Katja turned 7 yesterday. #siberiancats

Just look at how hard they partied.

It's supposed be bedtime but husband made the call for pink Garbage #vinylsky #nowspinning

...the fallen star that you cannot live without

Will be seeing Periphery live in a couple of weeks #vinylsky #nowspinning

most of their songs kinda just blend together in math djent fuckery in my brain, but it's fun fuckery. Several beers in helps

WE'RE BOUNCING #vinylsky #nowspinning

Stankonia anniversary press w/alternate cover art & bonus tracks. Outkast remains forever untouchable

Sounds SO much better than the presses that have been around forever. That was the whole reason why I bought it tbh. Dynamics are outstanding

Anyone familiar with this soundtrack? It's soooooo good #vinylsky #nowspinning

I got sent a promo of this to review back in 2004 & kinda fell in love with it. The cover of "I Wanna Be Your Dog" is my favorite. Check it out if you can.

The vinyl packaging is very XXX hah

Day off. Got vaxxed, washed more records, and now advancing into NIN zen #vinylsky #nowspinning

I love The Fragile such an absurd amount. Beyond overlooked

As much as I've always treasured being a bit weird, I can only dream of being 5% a weird as Björk #vinylsky #nowspinning

Do we really need to discuss this being a low key top album of all time? Fuckin' Hyperballad alone cements it

(Me screaming at no one in particular) WE NEED GOD LIVES UNDERWATER VINYL REISSUES #vinylsky #nowspinning

Just sent this thru the humminguru and oh man. How did I find such a perfect OG copy of this. I wish I could have you all hear it. When I get a living room that seats 450 you're all invited

I'm stuck in choice paralysis tonight. When in doubt, Goldfrapp #vinylsky #nowspinning

Also sending records thru the sonic wash tonight, which included some clogged drain troubleshooting. All the best gadgets are such princesses lol

One of my favorite bands when I was in high school #vinylsky #nowspinning

Hugest crush ever on Nuno Bettencourt. Man still looks incredible btw

Gonna spin & watch #AEW on subtitles

Another one of my jacked-up album sleeves that disguises a meticulous no-crackle gem #vinylsky #nowspinning

It's hilarious how often I bust out some Enuff Z'Nuff. The tunes are a combination of Beatles pop sensibility and pure 80s LA sleaze. What's not to love lol

My day has been so ... MUCH that pumping my ears with this fever dream feels right #vinylsky #nowspinning

I miss Miley Cyrus' fucked-up phase. Yes I like her Good-Ass pop too, but salvia-era was a gift
November 1, 2025 at 2:20 AM
My $2.58 copy of Dark Side from St. Vinny's that has a sleeve that looks like it's been through the trenches, but the vinyl is damn near immaculate #vinylsky #nowspinning

No one told you when to run

You missed the starting gun

Here's how to order #vinylsky #nowspinning

wild I only have 2 Faith No More albums on vinyl... never felt the need or urge to grab all the ones after this idk

how the hell did midlife crisis become a hit lmao they played that shit on MTV nonstop despite the gruesome video

Mike Patton Magic(tm)

THE OLD DEAD TREE #vinylsky #nowspinning

French progressive death metal from the 00s, I got their 2nd album to review & fell in love. This is their 1st - husband found they were selling the vinyl thru Bandcamp.

Is the production trash? Sure! Don't care, here for sweet doomy vibes from 22 years ago
October 31, 2025 at 1:03 AM
Roxy with the hyper-dilated eyes all because of a tuna churu. #siberiancats

Girl was gonna tear my eyeballs out when I pulled it away for 0.5 seconds lol

Lillian Axe - Psychoschizophrenia #vinylsky #nowspinning

I added this OG 90s copy to my collection about 2 years before they reissued it. The added cost for 2 years was worth it I guess

I love the SHIT out of this album. Was one of my faves when I was in high school. Despite the cringe cover lol

Attempting a record night as I keep an eye on work. #nowspinning #vinylsky

Leprous has a new live release dropping Nov 7th. Until I get my hands on it, we'll spin this 2022 set.

Oh boy the lyrics of Women. But I am in SCREAM ALONG WITH ALBUMS I KNOW BY HEART mode so #vinylsky #nowspinning

October 25, 2025 at 4:30 AM
after Mindcrime last night I got caught up in thoughts of the very first CD I ever bought (I had $12 and it was on sale for $10.99, my list of choices were narrowed lol) #vinylsky #nowspinning

y'all remember longboxes

I had saved all of mine but they got lost from kid/parent house to adult
