I study sex, evolution & genes. Frequently all three. I also love music, food & dogs. Other interests include bikes (pedals & motors), books & travel. I’m paleo-adjacent.

Commemorating another birthday today. #Elvis would be 90 if still alive, but he didn’t even make it halfway there. My appreciation for Elvis has increased after learning more about him on the #500songs podcast. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Commemorating the birthday of the great David Bowie. He would have turned 79 today, had he not left us 10 years ago. Starting with my first favorite #Bowie record. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Next up today is another I hadn’t spun yet. Rhino usually does a great job on comps and re-issues, so I grabbed this one (even though I have the first 4 records). #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

One “problem” with me mining my CDs is that I always run across ones that need my renewed attention. Here’s the extra pile I that pulled today. #johnsCDs

Here’s one I haven’t seen in the #5debutalbums9094 yet. Not a contender for me, but I liked the band in the day.

It took me a few hours to unearth these, but I managed to find all but a few of the #johnsCDs inventoried in my Discogs @discogsofficial.bsky.social. 47 so far, as I found a few others I hadn’t added. And one that hadn’t appeared yet (Collective Soul). Where’s my Counting Crows? #5debutalbums9094

I have a place where I put newly acquired records that I haven’t spun yet. That area has been growing lately, so I need to spin some of them. This and the previous Love record were there. This one is really good! #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Picked this up quite a while ago but finally giving it a 1st spin. Weird and wonderful stuff from the Soft Machine / Gong founder. His solo stuff was recommended to me by someone here, but it’s been so long I forgot who!! #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Inspired by my friend Albert @meristicmanifest.bsky.social, I picked this up last year intending to read a page everyday (as he was). I got a late start and never caught up, so I gave up. Starting it fresh this year! #PattiSmith
