What are you waiting for?

Start listening and you will be immediately convinced that you should be supporting Andrew Hickey. An amazing podcast from an amazing guy.

Didn’t realize how good this record is. The first and last time I played it, the record was so noisy that I couldn’t really enjoy it. After a deep clean on the #humminguru it’s a new experience!

I am looking for examples of a 2-3 hour lab activity for a course that would allow college students to get some experience connected to environmental DNA studies (e.g., e-DNA, rRNA/ITS PCR, metagenomics, etc). Ideally this would have some DNA extraction and some follow up processing / analysis.

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Country Joe & the Fish (1967) “Electric Music for the Mind and Body”

Last record from 1967 for #5debutalbums50s60s. Classic, early bay-area psych. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

First pass from my collection:
2 in #johnsvinyl
9 in #johnsCDs

That’s a single days listening for me 😆

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. The 5th Dimension (1967) “Up, Up and Away”

Next up for 1967 in #5debutalbums50s60s is this pop wonder of its time. So sweet with a touch of psych #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Kaleidoscope (1967) “Tangerine Dream”

I’m finally feeling quite a bit better today after three days. Working at home—lecture and a couple of meetings on Zoom are done & now to some administrivia. So I’m back to my unplayed #johnsvinyl qualifiers for #5debutalbums50s60s. Almost done with ‘67 and spinning this psychy gem. #nowplaying

I hope so. Hoffs/Sweet is a fave.

Alt text works better and it helps disabled people. 😛

My daughter recommended this for me and I’ve been looking for a copy ever since giving it a spin on 🍎

May I make a modest request for everyone participating in #5debutalbums0509 ?

Modern album covers frequently do not include title and/or artist. If one is not familiar with it (as is too often the case for me!), it’s difficult to add for consideration if it’s not in the post.

Pls add info. Thanks!

Thanks.

Yay. That’s two for me.

Thanks. That’s the method. Tired of repeating already.

Sixty orchid mantis babies hatch at once, turning from fragile noodles to tiny kung fu fighters in minutes.

Thanks! For something I thought would be 24 hours and done, this has been rough.

Another light lift for me. Looking forward to seeing nominations from others. In the meantime, I’ll be spinning the remaining #5debutalbums50s60s from #johnsvinyl (‘67-‘69)

Didn’t get a chance to play this one before voting. Will do so soon.

Thanks. Another day off tomorrow I think.

Two days later and I can confirm that Norovirus is really awful. #TMI

As promised, and with apologies for the delay. Here’s an Apple Music version of the excellent playlist from James #70sTop30

2nd on King. ❤️

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Janis Joplin (1969) “I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!”

I’m continuing to listen to my #johnsvinyl qualifiers for #5debutalbums50s60s for the next few days—I have a few from ‘67 & bunches from each of ‘68 & ‘69. Starting here because I just finished listening to the as-always excellent #500songs episode @500songspodcast.bsky.social on Janis. #nowplaying

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Moby Grape (1967) s/t

Listened to this one from 1967 for #5debutalbums50s60s and forgot to post it. #johnsvinyl #wasplaying

I didn’t get through all of my qualifiers in #johnsvinyl but I’m gonna vote anyway for #5debutalbums50s60s And it’s an all 1967 top 5!

1. Velvet Underground & Nico
2. Leonard Cohen
3. Doors
4. Jimi Hendrix
5. Pink Floyd

Thanks Rich!

Not yet. Almost done spinning ‘67.

Great list!

Outer sleeve and spinning purple vinyl record. The Electric Prunes (1967) s/t (aka “I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)”)

More psychy stuff from 1967 for #5debutalbums50s60s. Great slab! #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Typo FTW @bdelloid.bsky.social

Smoothie in a Dead Guy Ale pint glass.

Downside: home sick today following a food poisoning incident last night.

Upside: laying on the couch, drinking a smoothie and spinning #johnsvinyl.
