Now Spinning: “Nevermind” by Nirvana. When this came out, I was in 11th grade at Aberdeen High School, sitting in the same desks Cobain and Novoselic once sat in. Needless to say, this music was important to us. #NowSpinning #Nirvana #Vinyl #VinylCommunity #SpottedOwlsTasteLikeChicken

Coming Soon: “The Journey Part Three” by the Kinks. I just posted about wanting this to be a thing a few weeks ago while spinning the first two parts. And the best part is that it collects the work from the third act of their career from ‘77 to ‘85. #TheKinks #Vinyl #VinylCommunity #NewReleases

Now Spinning: “A Devine Symmetry” which is subtitled as an alternate journey through David Bowie’s “Hunky Dory” album. Just having “Bewlay Brothers” without the “kid” voices makes this a great listening experience. #NowSpinning #DavidBowie #Vinyl

Now Spinning: Bright Eyes’ “I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning” album. I love this and the many other quality pressings by Vinyl Me Please. I am simultaneously rooting for the comeback of VMP, and for the fans that are being screwed by VMP during a possible restructuring of their business. #NowSpinning

Now Spinning: ELO’s “A New World Record” record. 🤦‍♂️ One of those rare “perfect” albums. #NowSpinning #ELO #JeffLynne #ElectricLightOrchestra #Vinyl

Now Spinning: Supertramp’s “Famous Last Words” album. Supertramp fans will argue about what their best album is, but we mostly agree that this album ranks as Supertramp’s 5th best. I like this album, but it tastes a bit undercooked compared to their previous four masterpieces. #NowSpinning #Vinyl

Now Spinning: “The Best of Crosby & Nash” by C&N. A great album to buy for a friend who likes CSN&Y but doesn’t like Buffalo Springfield. Get better friends. #NowSpinning #DavidCrosby #GrahamNash #Vinyl

Now Spinning: Roger Daltrey’s “Best Bits” compilation. It contains 11 tracks from his four solo albums recorded during the ‘70s. #NowSpinning #RogerDaltrey #TheWho #ClassicRock #Vinyl

Now Spinning: U2’s Singles compilation. I remember those young guys from the jacket. #NowSpinning #U2 #Vinyl

On May 4, 1970, at Kent State University, the Ohio National Guard opened fire on a crowd of student protesters, resulting in the deaths of four students and the wounding of nine others.

Wanna see something cool?

At the Grammy's in 1976, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme explained what jazz is.

The result? The crowd losing its mind. 🔥

Now Spinning: Billy Joel’s “The Nylon Curtain” deserves a bit more love than it gets in my house. It is Joel’s most Beatles-esque album, and an amazing one at that. #NowSpinning #BillyJoel #Beatles #Vinyl #JapaneseVinyl

Now Spinning: “Julia with Blue Jeans On” by Spencer Krug. If you like a man’s voice and his piano, and nothing else, this may be your thing too. A perfect album. #NowSpinning #SpencerKrug #Moonface #WolfParade #SunsetRubdown #SwanLake #FrogEyes #FifthsofSeven #TwoTonneBowlers #Vinyl

Now Spinning: Fate has led me to listening to “Magical Mystery Tour” by The Beatles tonight. This is a Japanese version of the American version of the British version. #Meta #NowSpinning #Beatles #Vinyl #Japan

Now Spinning: Listening to an album that has its sleeve in a frame on my office wall. The Beach Boys’ “Surf’s Up” album from 1971 is brilliant. If you haven’t listened to The Beach Boys’ post-‘66 material, give this one a spin. #NowSpinning #BeachBoys #Vinyl

Now Spinning: I’m finally listening to the 2020 Giles Martin remix of “Goats Head Soup” by The Rolling Stones, and it sounds great. Not better than the original, but not worse either . . . Both are great. #NowSpinning #RollingStones #GilesMartin #Vinyl
