We had more fun than should have legally been allowed this night! Many drinks were had!

Vibe shift, but I'm not concerned. She's royalty!

Brandi Carlile//Returning To Myself

@darkhumorgirl.bsky.social can tell you more about them than I. They played a really fun show at the Granada with The Hold Steady years ago that was a blast!

Jellybean the cat enjoying an Art Brut record

Well, @darkhumorgirl.bsky.social might have picked this one out. But, Jellybean might be a bit more excited for Art Brut//Bang Bang Rock & Roll

Loved Ones album "Keep Your Heart" on a record player

I'm sure with the 20th Anniversary of this release being a week away a new pressing is right around the corner. Stoked to have finally found a first press for a reasonable price. Not sure why I never had it, but I love it and am stoked to fill a gap in the collection. The Loved Ones/Keep Your Heart

3 lovely black cats peering out a glass door.

It's the babies!

It truly was!
I miss the heck out of them.
Stoked that I got to see them twice.
(Monster Tour at Sandstone, Up Tour at Starlight) Thankful for the massive amount of material they put out to the world.

R.E.M. Monster Vinyl on record player

The fanfare that this one came out to! What a time! They proclaimed "We put the dulcimers and mandolins in the closet and made a rock record." It was such a style jump for them. Unpopular Opinion Alert: This was absolutely one of their best eras.

R.E.M. // Monster

Fountains of Wayne// Welcome Interstate Managers vinyl album

Here's @darkhumorgirl.bsky.social 's next selection. One of her favorite bands and one I keep meaning to dive deeper into... Fountains of Wayne// Welcome Interstate Managers.

that dog. "Retreat from the sun" vinyl album

If it was possible, I woulda wore this CD out in 1997. The unexpected vinyl treatment a couple years back was very appreciated. Super bummed I never saw them live. that dog.//retreat from the sun.

Har Mar Superstar: Bye Bye 17 vinyl album

Up next, @darkhumorgirl.bsky.social 's pick. This sonic banger! Har Mar Superstar//Bye Bye 17. Pressed on a great colorway to match the cover art. 👨‍🍳🤌

Pffttt. Hardly! Simply a silly goof that enjoys the finer things in life! Like a quality record! 🤓

Jurassic 5 album "Quality Control" on a turntable

Relaxing is self care! No better way to do it than a traditional #RecordNight
Diving into the shelves to find some old favorites that have sat neglected. Starting out the evening with this absolute classic! Jurassic 5 // Quality Control

Your move, atRockies!

This? Oh, this is Blues Traveler. A man named John Popper taught us that you could "rock out" with a harmonica. He also taught a majority of us that there was not one type of harmonica, but many! They all played in different keys. He had to wear a vest with MANY pockets...

An old ICP/2LiveCrew Concert listing

Another for the "wild stuff from my past" file. 23 years ago, I was criss-crossing the world, stage-managing ICP. This leg featured support from 2LiveCrew. From time to time 2LC's hypeman handed me the mic to help with back-up vocals behind the curtain. Thankfully, their lyrics were easy to learn!

I never meant to make work one of my hobbies. I have a 40-hour that's... fine. This weekend reminded me that I am "sew" appreciative of extra opportunities and experiences. Not sure how I end up in some of these adventures but it *is* sew fun! 😘

A sad Panettone

Yes, me lightening the mood at the office by exclaiming "I'm gonna start an R&B act that sings about our love of baked goods... Of course we'll be called "Panettone! Panettoni! Panettony!"

Plains record album on record player with music themed artwork in the background

Oh! I forgot about this one!
Katie Crutchfield (aka Waxahatchee) and Jess Williamson got together and dropped a solid country album!

Plains//I Walked With You A Ways

Lydia Loveless vinyl on a record player

Well, hey there! Haven't spent much time with you lately. Sorry about that!

Lydia Loveless//nothing's gonna stand in my way again.

I'd be into some Anniversary reissues with bonus material!

Speaking of represses, American Steel is teasing something over on Instagram. Color me curious!!

Also, "Wash My Feet in the Waves" Swoon! I love that song so much!!

Always happy to help with a reminder!

Chuck Ragan live record on a record player

Oh, baby! This one starts with Chick exclaiming "We got here on a promise, a hope and a spare tire. It's good to be back!" I laugh every time.

Chuck Ragan with John Gaunt & Digger Barnes // Live at Hafenkneipe Zürich. One of the prettiest slabs in the collection! Look at that burst!

Tyler Childers Snipe Hunter record and album cover

@darkhumorgirl.bsky.social has entered the chat.

Tyler Childers//Snipe Hunter.
Stoked to see him again next summer!

Orange cat standing in a rock bed

Well, damn! If I'm not mistaken, this is Cheddar who was coming around a few years ago. Eventually, someone on the next block took him in. He looks great and was happy to get a few treats and pets. Thanks for stopping by, bud! ❤️

Justin Townes Earle album on a record player

Let's escape the news cycle with a #RecordNight, shall we?

Up first and to celebrate me finally remembering to pre-order @jonbern.bsky.social 's biography on Justin Townes Earle... Midnight at the Movies

Hi @recordstoreday.bsky.social I was thinking. Do you take requests? I submit the following soundtracks for your consideration to press

200 Cigarettes - has NEVER been released on vinyl.

So I Married an Axe Murderer - the Internet tells me that it had a limited Europe only release.
