With the constant attacks by hateful Republicans hell-bent on cruelty out of ignorance and demonizing people as a political pawn, I’m grateful to be living in Wa state. Thank you, Nick Brown for doing the important work on keeping our families safe.

The proposed rule targeting healthcare for transgender and gender diverse people is cruel, and unnecessary. Under the law in WA, necessary healthcare for transgender people is lawful and legally protected. Proposed rules are not the law – nothing has changed in WA.

Tomorrow night!

All ages!
Festive mischief!

Show announcement!!!

I will! 😉

Nice! Those little bits can add so much!

T Rex “The Slider” unbelievably stoked about this. Was going through some books on the shelf last night and found this gem (and Hall n Oats) behind the books. No idea where they come from. Not mine. Likely not wife’s. Who knows!

Arcade Fire”The Suburbs”

Wilco “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot”
#nowspinning #vinyl

There’s a lot I could go to, speaking about them and Brian Wilson. Similar struggles with life experiences and mental health issues, but today I’m just enjoying their catalog. #adamantjoy #beachboys #brianwilson #nowspinning #vinyl

I still have my ticket around here somewhere $15 that I saved up myself. It would be years before I grew to know them musically, as opposed to pop fandom, but they’ve informed the majority of the music I write as much as anyone else, more than most.

Beach Boys “Endless Summer”
The Beach Boys were one of my first favorite bands. Got to see them in mid 80’s at Salina Coliseum. We were within the first 30-50 rows.

Sonny & The Sunsets “Self Awareness Through Macrame”

#nowspinning #vinyl

Fresh crate!
Starting off with
The Verlaines “Some Disenchanted Evening”

I’ve always loved the title of this album. This album readily catered to my growing love for clever lyrics and cynicism masked behind perfectly penned pop tunes (I also love alliteration?)

It’s all metal shell with a rough texture inside and out. The little info I’m finding is the throw off was used late 70’s, early 80’s.

Drummers! I need help identifying this Ludwig. Bought from a yard sale. Sign said Acrolite, but not finding any info to back that up. Badge is missing.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah “The Tourist”
That white vinyl, white album cover is lovely.

Appaloosa “Appaloosa”

Had the pleasure of seeing Appaloosa over the weekend. Some great pop punk rockin music. With a front woman who looks like she’d knife you in an alley (I say with great compliment!)

#nowlistening #cassette

Eamon Ra “Meat Bones Chemicals Electricity” had the wonderful experience of playing a show with Eamon last night. This album ticks all the boxes of what I love about the Kinks. And it came with an amazingly illustrated lyric book!

Twerps “Twerps”

Picked up this great Melbourne jangle pop album from My Vinyl Underground in PDX last week. ❤️

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
“New Fragility”

#nowspinning #vinyl

Blonde “Eat to the Beat”

“Dreaming” has been on high rotation in my daily soundtrack lately. So much, that I covered it at my Portland show and will again this Thursday at my Seattle show.

Dear all of Portland, OR.

I’m playing a solo show tomorrow (Thursday) night at the Snug with some great bands. Come kick it. It’s FREE!
