#nowspinning Another recent pickup. Love released its eponymous debut album in March 1966. Forever Changes gets all the ... love ... but don't sleep on this one. Some great jams here.

A new Dave Stevens pickup. My local shop had a mid grade copy for $45. I got this on eBay for $22 shipped.

#nowspinning The final 78 from my visit to Catnip Antiques in South Carolina a couple weeks ago. This was a blind buy based solely on the great song title: She's the Sweetheart of Six Other Guys, by Fred "Sugar" Hall and His Sugar Babies (Okeh, 1928). What a perfect song for Valentine's Day!

#nowspinning The Hill Billies, Old Joe Clark / Whoa! Mule (Okeh, 1925), the third of four 78s I picked up a week ago at Catnip Antiques in South Carolina. The record is a little beat but still plays pretty well for being 100 years old.

Here's the second of four 78s I got last week in South Carolina. It's Harry McClintock, The Big Rock Candy Mountains / Bum Song - No. 2 (Victor, 1928), which you might know from the Coen Brothers' O Brother, Where Art Thou?

#cratedigging My small 78 collection grew a little bit yesterday. A Facebook group I follow posted a picture on Thursday of some intriguing records at Catnip Antiques in Simpsonville, South Carolina.

The Trump administration’s rebranded Schedule F policy aims to reclassify federal employees in policy roles as at-will, removing civil service protections. This will politicize agencies by allowing dismissals based on political alignment.

Enjoying a beverage to cap off an extremely long week. Golden Monkey is a 9.5 ABV Belgian-style tripel from Victory Brewing Co.

Semi recent pickup: Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers 1, by Jack Kirby and published by Pacific Comics in 1981.

This is my first pickup of 2025, an original copy of the Rolling Stones, Some Girls (1978), with the original cover.

#topvarianttuesday From last week, Rogue: The Savage Land 1, by Tim Seeley and Zulema Scotto Lavina, features two great variants by J Scott Campbell and Adam Hughes.

The interior art is rad, as is the main cover by Kaare Andrews. The story makes me want to revisit the original by Claremont and Lee.
