Ye Vagabonds: The Hare’s Lament. A fairly recent discovery - spinning them a lot and heard them live a couple weeks ago. All that is good about Irish music. #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying #nowspinning #music

Frank Turner: Be More Kind. Haven’t spun this in a while. I’m always amazed how true his lyrics are. ”Outside it’s 1933 so I’m hitting the bar….” #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying #nowspinning #music

Gordon Lightfoot: Summertime Dream. The Edmund Fitzgerald sank 50 years ago this week with loss of all 29 men on board. Gordon’s song is, I think, in the DNA of everyone from Michigan. #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying #nowspinning #music

R.E.M. Automatic for the People. Definitely a top 5 record and probably number 2. Comparing this tonight to the 2017 remaster. So I get to spin it twice! #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying #nowspinning #music

This is what is so scary - it’s not just one person. It’s all the people who so enthusiastically bankrolled and support him. We have to work hard against this. #resist
"He can stay, he can go. He can be impeached or voted out. But removing Trump will not remove the infrastructure of an entire party that embraced him; the dark money that funded him, the online radicalization that drummed his army; nor the racism he amplified and reanimated" ~ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

The Grateful Dead: American Beauty. Slightly late for this - released on 01/11/1970. My favourite album of all. It means more with every listen. “It’s all a dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago…“ This is my US first pressing. #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #GratefulDead
