Artist: Danger Days
Album: S/T EP
Bought: @skeletunesrecords.com
Notes: 35/200 // Clear w/ etching on the B-side (that you can barely friggin’ see in this picture!)
Always like it when a band DOESN’T include older songs on subsequent releases.
Congrats to Skeletunes on their first release!

Artist: Joe Pass
Album: For Django
Bought: Overland Records, Oberammergau, Germany
Notes: ZERO clue when this was made.
Seriously. The internet has no idea and the only thing I know for certain is that it isn’t a first-pressing because it says so on the back. Beyond that? Who knows?

“I Only Trust Rock N Roll”
Bought: @skeletunesrecords.com
Notes: pink
TLE is a foundational band for me and I really wish they hadn’t built me up by saying this was the older brother of their debut. I might grow to like it, but it’s a LOT more mellow than their S/T.

“Hellbilly Deluxe”
Bought: @skeletunesrecords.com
Glow in the dark RSD Essential.
Truly essential. What a banger of an album and a master class in song/album dynamics AND a great example of taking full advantage of a medium for the buyer.
And the drums/guitars are great.

Any recommendations for acoustic guitar singer/songwriter stuff that’s recorded well? Jack Johnson has great production value but not great songs. At least not on the albums I’ve listened to.

Album: Balance
Bought: Rough Trade
Notes: Translucent orange // side D etched with the Vitruvian Man
I read that this whole album was in the key of D (saddest key) and that it was a giant pain in the ass because of EVH.
Whodathunk.

Album: I Dream of Christmas (Deluxe)
Bought: Discogs

2025’s Christmas album! I get one new Christmas album each year. I used to do this with CDs and wound up building quite a nice collection over the last 20 years (or so) and now it’s time for vinyl!

Album: Alkaline Trio
Notes: @1234gorecords.bsky.social silver/red split, 307/1000
Worst album cover ever for a record. Hands down. To use this tiny picture when you have this much real estate? A waste.
Still, the music is great and it’s ALWAYS cool to get a 1234Go! variant.

Artist: The George Barnes Quartette
Album: Blues Going Up
Bought: Discogs
Notes: Still in shrink wrap from 1977. *I* opened an album from 1977! Oh, and it sounds GREAT. Way more jazz than blues and you HAVE to check out his cover of the Flintstones theme! It’s on streamers. Go ahead. I won’t judge.

John Pizzarelli is, hands down, the most charming musician I have ever met. If you EVER get the chance to see him live - even if you don’t like jazz - you should ABSOLUTELY see him.

I went to a place called Ramstein so the choice of souvenir record was obvious.
I’ve been waiting since 1997 to get this record! Actually, I wonder how many Rammstein records are sold there…

I wasn’t joking about loving Hawaiian music.
Anyway, this is probably Sunday Manoa’s most famous entry and that’s PROBABLY because of the absolute perfection that is “Kawika.”
Seek it out on streamers and listen for yourself.
