Who is your favorite #heavymetal act -- Dr. John? Foghat? Van Morison??
A 12" compilation album cover, titled "Heavy Metal," listing a somewhat disparate group of artists, including several that would not be considered "heavy metal."

Keeping the collection out of milk crates and off the floor is a constant battle... against myself 😅 #diy #records #vinyl
Several rectangular pieces of plywood of varying sizes laid out to be assembled into a bin for storing records. The same rectangular pieces of plywood as in the prior image, but with several assembled and clamped into position forming the outer shell of a record a storage bin. A completely assembled unfinished plywood record storage bin, roughly waist-height, divided into four equal storage areas - two on top and two below. There are small blackened areas visible on some edges where the friction of a crooked saw blade caused scorching because I'm a record collector not a woodworker.

A cautionary tale for my fellow #homelab enthusiasts: just because work is throwing away a perfectly good [_____], doesn't mean you need to take it home & plug it in 😬😬😬😬 drastically scaling back asap. (Note: there was other stuff going on, too, but not 24/7; also I never spin down my HDDs)

Went on a @filthyrecs.bsky.social field trip to see the amazing @lizpelly.bsky.social give a great talk on her book "Mood Machine" at @spacegallery.bsky.social. If you make or listen to music in 2025, you should probably read this to understand how you're being commodified 🫵🥸 #musiciansky #booksky

@ubiquiti.bsky.social Cloud Gateway Fiber is here!! 😁😁😁 Perfect solution for my blended network - 2.5gig for the consumer stuff, 10gig SFP+ for the enterprise cast-offs lurking in the basement 😏🤓 major electricity savings too cuz it will replace TWO (elderly) servers #homelab #sketchy #nerdsky 🥳

Thank you so much to everyone who made it out for the Chanfeld release party! The support was amazing; our anti-streaming, pro-artist message is finding traction, and I'm so excited for the future of Filthy Records & Tapes!

After years (decades?) of me apologizing for my messy studio, @goddamnchan.bsky.social suggested I lean into the chaos, and I haven't been this happy or excited about my own music in YEARS. In here, time and self dissolve and I get the sublime joy of just being 🎶🕊️ #musiciansky #prodsky #producersky

Ahhh, finally: "ECC." Just 3 letters, but means so much when storing irreplaceable data in ZFS (I follow 3-2-1, but still). The sun is shining brighter, birdsong is sweeter, and my blood pressure went down appreciably #homelab #zfs #trueNAS

Finished up the #Peavey Patriot refresh - even snagged a custom pickguard from pickguardheaven and stainless screws for it 🤌 all that's left is a setup (pedantic viewers will know that bridge isn't intonated 😅) #musiciansky #bass #basssky

Freshening up the old #Peavey Patriot, one of the most underrated basses IMHO. After 20 years of playing, going to finally learn to #slap 😅 #bass #musiciansky
