11 Talk Talk Spirit of Eden

I'll just never forget the experience of taking this album to the test turntable at RC and hearing that blazing harmonica arrive in the opening track. It's rare that artists challenge themselves the way Talk Talk did. Surely must have pissed off ther label.

10 Petrol Girls Baby

Petrol Girls rule and I hope they are still at it. This run of albums is all done by hand, the title drawn on by finger.

That's it for now. Should I dig out some more records?

9 George Harrison Cloud Nine

I think this album is very critically underrated. Depending on your tastes perhaps preferred over All Things Must Pass.

Apparently George refused to do anything other than hold his guitar during photo or video shoots. A constraint that led some classic music videos.

8 The Mahavishnu Orchestra Inner Mounting Flame

Maybe the coolest record I got from my mom? Wild guitar on this album. Which prog rock records do you think I should have?

7 Pete Townshend Empty Glass

Record Connection in Ephrata spoiled us. 4 bucks!

Pete gets a lot of good needle drops from this record. If you like The Who please please please listen to this one too. Check out "Let My Love Open The Door" and "A Little is Enough"

6 XTC Oranges and Lemons

2LPs for 6 bucks. What a great cover. My friends know I'm an XTC sicko to the bone. I think they only progressed as song writers even late in their career.

Despite Andy's efforts to deter us with "Pink Thing", a song about his song or his dick. The man's got talent.

5/? 12 Rods - Lost Time

12 Rods self produced this one after their todd Rundgren produced record bombed. This might be their best album.

12R is one of my favorite unsung indie bands that really doesn't get enough love. I got this record from kickstarting their documentary.

4/? Todd Rundgren A Wizard a True Star

A sort of mind blow psychedelic pop record. One of the densest Side As I've ever heard.

3/? Donald Fagen The Nightfly

Steely Dan sickos out there will inevitably run out of records to defend to other music nerds and end up adding this one to their arsenal. Tossing in a photo of the box set my mom got me. Featuring what was likely the happiest photo of fagen they could find.

2/? Paul Simon Graceland. One of my all time favorites. If there were albums in this collection you never heard before this would be the first one to listen to.

Not sure what these brown stains are. Isn't poop because I usually have pants on when I listen to records. Usually.

Had a flood nearly take out my record collection. So... to honor them (and vow to store them in a safer place). Here are selections from my collection.

Record 1/? T Rex Electric Warrior.

Do we talk about Marc Bolan? People should talk about Marc Bolan.

I got one of @writnelson.bsky.social turtles at GDC. I was quietly eating a rice bowl at Yerba garden. He stopped by then silently reached into his bag and handed me a turtle. I silently nodded with gratitude and that was the extent of our communication all week.

Had a blast giving a talk at the @unity.com xr developer night yesterday. Thanks for having me and thanks to @buddingmonkey.bsky.social for dressing up as a hot dog for no reason.
