Going to shoot some photos today. Which Kodak lens should I take (obviously after cleaning it). The 28mm, 35mm, or 80mm?

One of the great things about The Smiths as a kid in the US is they were so unapologetically British. It gave me insight into culture I had no other view of. Meat is Murder. #vinyl #recordsky

Good morning Bluesky. The Queen is Dead. When the Smiths were active this was considered their best album, although I always preferred Hatful. What are your thoughts? #vinyl #recordsky

Good morning Bluesky! I woke up today with Miki’s voice in my head so I’m playing Ciao! A hits collection from Lush. One of my favorite bands. #vinyl #recordsky #shoegaze

Midlake. Trials of Van Occupanther. Such a perfect album. Roscoe is my fav song and i just don’t understand how they even came up with the idea for it let alone then wrote those lyrics #vinyl #recordsky

Lou Reed and John Cale. Songs for Drella. I was so happy they repressed this. It was super rare on #vinyl and an album this good should be in more collections. #recordsky

The Sun and the Moon. Le Soleil, La Lune. One of my favorite 80’s bands that just didn’t produce. Formed by Mark Burgess of the Chameleons they just never found a broad audience. #vinyl #recordsky

I’m in a goth mood now. So let’s play Dalis Car. The most frustrating thing about this record is that the sleeve opens on the opposite side of every other album ever pressed. So the option is to shelve it upside down or with the spine to the back. #vinyl #recordsky

Siouxie and the Banshees. Peep Show. To think she started as just a person always on the scene at the punk clubs and became such an amazing artist. #vinyl #recordsky

Received two Don Adams records in the auction lot. Playing Get Smart. Which is essentially a radio play. It’s ok but I’m having trouble concentrating on it. (Hiccup is barking like the world will end if he stops). #vinyl #recordsky
