The things 80s movies taught you. And the fact that my catholic grade school was perfectly fine with me bringing in this for show n’ tell. True.

And it wasn’t even the most dangerous weapon that day. Hello throwing stars

I know what I’ll be watching tonight. Walter Hill greatness.

Somehow I even managed to get my old tape playable. Still got it when it comes to tape doctoring apparently.

EvilDead album The Underworld is pictured.

Drives me insane that shit never changes in the world. #Thrash from ‘91 still speaks to 2026.

#RecentDiscovery and #RecentFind for me. Was listening to an #80s comp and heard “When Your Heart Is Weak”. Absolutely great #PopSynth song. Should’ve been massive hit.

Whole album is great. All of it.

My big thing was them not identifying the artists. That drove me crazy. We had an alternative rock station that never ever ID’d anything. It took years for me to track down some random song I’d heard and wanted more.

I’m with you on that. All that matters.

Time to get the weekend fired up

I don’t want to overstate what this record did to change my music fandom/tastes…..but this record completely opened up a lot of things for me. Spin magazine, forever in debt for exposing me to it.

IMO the under-appreciated gem in the discography. I actually bought a Japanese press of this one because I thought it would sound EVEN better. Who knows really? I thought it did.

There needs to be MORE love for The Wonder Stuff.

There can’t be enough love for the brilliance of HUP

Anthrax album Persistence of Time is pictured.

I have past struggles with this album. I loved State Of Euphoria to an insane level. When this dropped I wondered where the fun went. Wasn’t down with the serious and darker Anthrax. Plus the songs were way too long.

Still too long, but I am good with PoT today

Joy Division 12 inch of “She’s Lost Control” with b-side of “Atmosphere”

Back cover with song listing

12’ Wednesday. Days like this wishing I had my parents’ old cabinet system with the auto- flip.

Joy Division - She’s Lost Control b/w Atmosphere

Atmosphere STILL brings me to tears. Pure beauty.

Found this #Vinyl this decades back at a #LibraryBookSale

One thing I’ve learned over the years - buy Tool when you can.

How do you like that Aiyama amp? I’m in the market for one. Price is great. But the sound?

A contender for first pick on the record I’m grabbing for the desert island

Blasting this cassette in the car at dangerous sound levels. Making so many dubs of it for friends. Good times

I know these two albums get a lot of hate. But for me it always felt like a natural progression from where they’d been and were going. I thought for the time they were good Metallica records. Still feel that way.

I don’t know - I feel like those of us of a certain age this isn’t unusual at all. In fact just the opposite. Two good listens back to back. Works for me.

I fell out of love with Bon Jovi by These Days. Need to revisit.

I tend to not care for cover albums. But this one gets it right. They nailed it on the song selection and delivery

The King Biscuit Flower Hour was one of my favorite syndicated radio shows back in the day. We had a small local yokel rock station that filled their nights up with such programming. Sunday nights after Dr. Demento. I need to pick up these release. Especially Billy Squier.

Yeah all of those bands helped get me there. But was I ever stubborn for too long. In fact, the DM I did like back then - I just convinced myself was “heavier” thrash.

I believe in the hundred dollar range? I know there were a ton of boots around too. I got it for significantly less and was able to confirm it was legit.

Weedeater album Jason…The Dragon is pictured

Sound Barrier from Los Angeles who were, as far as I can tell, the first band to incorporate funk into metal. They released two great albums through RCA and Metal Blade in the 1980s but have never gotten the respect or attention they deserve. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGI3...

It would be my favorite….if A Pagan Place didn’t exist. Still a great record.

Simpler Times!

Luckily I have an understanding family who gets the importance of #CurbFinds such as this……

……and the need to strap them to the top of the car to take them through the desert back home to AZ.

Worth every penny I had to pay for this masterpiece. As a #Thrash kid #DeathMetal was a hard pill to swallow, this album was a gateway and bridge.

Fetchin Bones album Cabin Flounder is pictured

From the days of going to a show based on nothing more than a band name. Expecting a hardcore band, getting something unexpected and incredible.

Happy to finally complete the discography on #Vinyl

Goof in front of the old Perkins Palace concert venue in Pasadena, CA.

The goof in the middle of the road dreaming of seeing the concerts that played here.

A dream concert that happened at Perkins Palace.

When your morning hike takes you by important history. I have a thing about old concert venues. The shows I wish I saw. Almost got hit by a car too. That was awesome
