I liked nerdy stuff, but I am horrible at talking about it.
If you ever had Games With Gold on Xbox and let your Game Pass sub expire, your Game Library gets filled with unplayable "owned" games. This is the PC side of it where a bunch of Gold Play Anywhere titles are now showing up. You can install them, but not play them. #xbox #gamepass

Roughly six years of Games with Gold/Game Pass Ultimate are about to come to an end this Monday. I liked having access to everything, but the price increase just made it more logical to just buy a game every few months instead of maintaining a subscription.

I like how Googles AI flags its own emails as spam.

Starting today with a budget bin find. Pretty good condition despite being from 1966.

Ella Fitzgerald - The Best Of Ella Fitzgerald.

Listening to another shelf worn record that was pressed before I was born.

The Beatles - Abbey Road.

Starting today with another record that I have a hard time removing the shrink wrap from. I just enjoy the old stickers on some of their packaging too much to completely remove it.

Warren Zevon - Transverse City.

After troubleshooting a black screen from a game capture device where the solution turned out to be ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ after doing the same thing like three times in a row... I decided to listen to another of the Parking Lot Records.

Alberta Hunter - Remember My Name (Original Soundtrack Recording)

Starting today with a "happy accident" record that got shipped to me by accident when ordering something else. This is the 2015 Music on Vinyl Limited Edition "Black/White Marbled" release. No idea how many of these were pressed.

Twisted Sister - Stay Hungry.

Starting today with one of the Parking Lot Records. I'm guessing this pencil signature on the back belongs to the previous owner. Feel free to tell them I have it if anyone recognizes their name.

The Supremes - Where Did Our Love Go.

One of the more interesting blind buys I picked up. I guess this could be called "Electronic Blues."

Nicolas Repac - Black Box.

Haven't used the turntable in a few days, so today I am listening to some Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin fame to make up for that.

Robert Plant - Pictures at Eleven.

Listening to another soundtrack, but this one is mostly just Simon & Garfunkel. And despite knowing of this movie, I can't say that I have seen it from start to finish (I'm sorry).

The Graduate (Original Sound Track Recording)

Starting today's listening with a soundtrack to a film I've never watched and is like 80% Sting.

Brimstone & Treacle (Original Soundtrack Album)

Time for some more modern listening (this one is only 20ish years old) of some Austrian downtempo electronic music.

MUM - The Szabotnik 15 Mission.

Giving one of the older Parking Lot Records a first listen to this morning. The crate I found was mostly late 70s stuff, but it had a few things from the 60s in it.

Gene Pitney - It Hurts To Be In Love.

Now listening to something a wee bit more modern.

DJ Scientist - For Better, For Worse.

Listening to another heavily shelf worn record.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland.

Listening to this now, and I was curious why the vocalists sounded oddly familiar. Turns out it's the same people from a band I listened to last week (Ian and Sylvia).

Great Speckled Bird - Great Speckled Bird.

From early 70s bleep-bloops, to 2010 Heavy Metal.

Starting today with one of the least Kraftwerk looking Kraftwerk albums.

Kraftwerk - Ralf & Florian.

And another 2xLP to listen to this Saturday, but this time one that went overboard with packaging and released in a book format.

Pretty Lights - A Color Map of the Sun.

I am not the biggest fan of the trend where double LPs had both records slid into a single sleeve like this release. Album is still good despite cheaping out on the packaging, though.

RJD2 - The Colossus.

Now for some early Raymond Watts of KMFDM fame. I don't often come across Waxtrax (Pre TVT) records in the wild.

Pig - A Poke In The Eye...

I should probably remove the decaying shrinkwrap from some of these budget bin finds, but I sort of enjoy the old stickers on them.

The Cars - The Cars.

Now listening to an album with one of the more readable black metal band names:

Borknagar - Quintessence.
