Checking out the new Nintendo Store app, as you can see, I’m a sucker for Animal Crossing, and maybe Zelda too… #nintendo #3ds #switch

Tonight my daughter chose this Dizzy Gillespie record to listen to (over an Erroll Garner record)

Discogs has this one as being released in 1968, but looking at the style of the sleeve I would have guessed early 1950’s

Lear’s start the day with this awesome album, I think Mixtapes were one of the most underrated bands. #vinyl #mixtapes #ohio #poppunk

Why don't they put download cards inside of vinyl records anymore!?

I come from the land of Ben Franklin
Twain and Poe and Walt Whitman
Otis Redding, Ellington,
The country that I love

But it's a land of the slaves and the ku klux klan
Haymarket riot and the great depression
Joe McCarthy, Vietnam
The sickest joke I know

My wife found this book at a little free library. I guess it counts as an early Father’s Day gift. #booksky #fathersday #punk #pennywise

One thing I regret is selling off my CD collection. I was moving every year and had all my music on a laptop, so keeping them seemed foolish at the time.

Nowadays, whenever I want to listen to a CD I used to own, I'll see how much it goes for used and I kick myself for ever letting it go.

#AprilSpins an album to start your day (and a new month)

A super underrated band, Osker rounds out the month, this one was a 2014 repressing on black vinyl. Thank you @vinylgyroid.sparkle.blue for setting this up, it was a lot of fun. #vinyl #seeyounextyear

#AprilSpins a box set

This is the only box set I own. mewithoutYou released Ten Stories as a box set with an extra 7 inch, a CD, a booklet, and a poster. The first go round was signed by the band, but I wasn’t quick enough. #toothandnail #mewithoutYou #vinyl

#AprilSpins soundtrack to a movie or TV show

Dexter

I picked this blood splatter vinyl when I visited the Mall of America about 10 years ago. It has music and dialogue from the first season. #Dexter #vinyl #blood

#AprilSpins Day 27: an album for a rainy day

Bill Evans - Solo Sessions (Vol 1)

I love Bill Evans, his piano playing would make a great soundtrack to a rainy day.

The Vandals - Sweating to the Oldies seems like a fitting choice today as I celebrate entering my 40th birthday. #vinyl #vandals #kungfurecords

#AprilSpins an album with blue in the title

Here’s a classic, John Coltrane’s Blue Train. This is the 1985 repressing. #vinyl #jazz #bluenote

#AprilSpins Day 24: the prettiest record in my collection

I’ve always had a soft spot for this 7 inch, it’s the one I usually show to people when talking about splatter vinyl. #Swellers #Flint #vinyl

#AprilSpins most recent purchase

This is the European version of Audio Karate’s 3rd album that I actually found at a record store about 2 hours away from me. The US version is pretty expensive. These recordings are from 2005 or 06 and sat on a laptop for over a decade before they were mixed.

#AprilSpins an album to be enjoyed amongst nature

I have this weird record that has the sounds of birds chirping with classical string music in the background, does that count? #vinyl #birds #decca
