I dont think they have a weak album, but this one and Dead Star are my favorites at the moment. You really cant go wrong.

Now spinning King Buffalo, Regenerator. Very nice pressing on white vinyl. These dudes bring a lot of sound!

Now spinning Three Man Army Two from Three Man Army. British power trio. 1974. Hits all the early 70s blues, psych, prog buttons. Lucky to find this pristine 1st UK pressing.

I would 100% wear a Tyler Durden jacket, and I'd do my damnedest not to be a dick about it.

Obviously, this is all unconstitutional. But what i find most depressing about our current moment is the degree to which higher ed admin has simply rolled over. Anyway, happy to no longer be there, but I feel for the folks still fighting.

Now spinning guns N' Roses, Appetite for Destruction. Some kind of EU reissue on 180g. Once upon a time, this was my go-to cassette for bombing down a Montana trail on a Rockhopper.

Now spinning, The Clash, London Calling. 2013 reissue. A good pressing, i think, though never an audiophile record. But what a way to usher in the 1980s. Now, these guys would've been a great show.

The wooden deck of an offshore supply vessel under cloudy skies.

Cloudy skies over the back deck cleared off equipment and cargo. Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.

Now spinning Mahavishnu Orchestra, The Inner Mounting Flame. This shit is so heavy. Makes me think of King Crimson, Red, which came out 3 years later.

Now spinning Billy Joel's Glass Houses. I loved this album cover as a kid, always intrigued by the lives implied here.

Now spinning Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane. A reissue from 2013 of this pivotal work. I can only imagine what it must've been like to hear this stuff live at The Five Spot Café in 1957.

In grad school (2003) we fed a family of 4 on $100 a week. (Maybe $200 a week today?) It's complicated, but completely possible. You eat a lot of pasta, split pea soup, etc. You plan out a week of meals.

Okay, I need to get myself into a positive frame of mind and watch Academy. I'm skeptical, but yeah, I dont want to just go into it to hate-watch. That's what the internet's for. DS9 movie would be great! Where is that?

Now spinning David Bowie, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. A 2012 remaster of this classic. I think the pressing is pretty good. Never saw Bowie. That must have been one hell of a show.

Ah, that makes sense. I've never tried one of those devices for repairing a warped record. No idea if they work. But here's to U2!

You shouldn't have to put weight on the stylus if everything is adjusted right. Not great for your records. Which U2 is that?
