Just a retired social worker who wanted to return to her college job alphabetizing records (I won’t try to sell to you here, I just wanna talk music!).

eBay: PureJoyRecords
Hello vinyl friends. My business is essentially and I’m honestly trying to have fewer internets. If you are interested in buying records from me, you can find me on eBay as cptnbadass (none currently listed, I’m getting there). My personal account is antecubitalfossa.bsky.social ✌️

I’ve always thought this song was a banger, so I was delighted to discover that the guy who wrote it is in the replies on YouTube.

Now spinning (engineered by Girls Rock Pgh alum Madeleine Campbell). I used to receive Spravato (esketemine) nasal spray treatments for treatment resistant depression, and this is one of the albums I liked to listen to.

I am pretty sure I have the flu (my kid tested positive). Just gonna lay in bed and listen to music and terrify my cats with my coughing.

I was recommending records by Canadian bands (Fucked Up, Cindy Lee) to someone earlier, but honestly at this point we should probably all be listening to Propagandhi.

Now spinning. Back to alphabetizing. Will I ever be finished alphabetizing the records?

There’s a new Shannon Wright, but the vinyl version only appears to be available through a label in France. I don’t even have $ for records released in the US right now, but Mental Note To Self.

Been real sad, so I started alphabetizing the records again. Found some gems. This would be worth some $$$ but it was my mom’s and she never took care of her records.

Are you into esoteric hip hop 12” records from the 90s? Well you’re in luck, because I’m currently listing a bunch on eBay.

The thing about Record Store Day is that I’m broke and I need more records like I need a hole in my head, but I am interested in the Slint and Sunn O))).

I’ve changed gears a bit. We’re iced in and my general mood is lay-on-the-floor-and-listen-to-records.

I found it. Miles standish proud.

It’s the end of the world as we know it but I prefer So. Central Rain, for what it’s worth.

My kid is heading to a birthday party for a kid who is getting into “vinyls” and likes classic rock. I donated a Neil Young and Jimi Hendrix. Now I’m realizing high school kids prob think of Nirvana & Smashing Pumpkins as classic rock, but he plays guitar so maybe he’ll be inspired. 🤷‍♀️

I haven’t been logging in recently, but I have been:
- watching Twin Peaks
- teaching myself how to play the drums
- alphabetizing our records
- marking down all of my vinyl on eBay and cleaning/listing a bunch of old 45s, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Not sure why I slept on Teen Mortgage for so long! My partner also plays in a 2-piece which played a few shows with them last year and I, inexplicably, waited this long to check them out. They rip!

Slant 6 is Christmas Music if you listen to it on December 24th.

Also, I’m sorry that I’ve been MIA. I’ve mostly been listening to the same few records lately, partly because I like them but mostly because they are right in front of my record player. I’m ashamed to admit that our personal records are in no sort of order whatsoever. It’s my winter project.

Skips, but I keep playing it expecting different results.

Slightly obsessed with this South African punk bank Twenty One Children. There is a local guy who books a lot of international acts and I’ve been nudging him.

Let me preface this by saying this is not a sad post, it is an overwhelming relief.

On 5/11 our fam decided to take in 2 4-week foster kittens. On 5/13, I received the LLC for Pure Joy Records, which I intended to open as a shop/all ages venue in my cursed hometown of Altoona, PA. (cont)

Hello friends! Just a heads up that I will no longer be vending at this sale, but you should still check it out.
If you are in the central PA area, I will be back at Bell Mansion in Bellwood selling records & t-shirts on December 15. I am even going to try to convince my helper (teen) to come by bribing him with caffeinated beverages from Cosmic Charlie’s.
