Working from home and not reading the news. Also my letter carrier dropped off the heaviness yesterday.
Daru Jones percussion on the new Jack White is just ferocious. This record is dope. Samples, guest Q-Tip, he even gets into some dub elements. Punchy.
A nod to Smiley's in this article, it's been vacant since 2017 and now it's gone. My father lived in this building in the 1960s and I played pinball at Smiley's in the 90s here. denverite.com/2022/04/14/smi…
the new Jack White record got here Saturday but I just now got to put it on. Fierce. Fantastic packaging and inserts as well, as usual for Third Man. #thirdman
Old REM never gets old with me. Nostalgic? sure, but so fucking good regardless - youtube.com/watch?v=-sqpF-Si…
I don't drink soda anymore just fizzy water but man I love product and packaging so I had to get me some Pepsi Nitro. Pours like a Guinness and it tastes pretty good. I'll let you know if the walls start melting, gimmee about an hour.
Third Man doing another vault release from SLEEP. Yet another alt version of Dopesmoker and some unreleased studio tracks and posters. Do I need this? probably not, so yeah I'll order it. thirdmanstore.com/products/v…
new Fontaines D.C. single dropped and it's fantastic. youtube.com/watch?v=E4qy_XEj…
Mailman just got here. New heater from the Sure Fire Soul Ensemble. Spinning now, first 750 on smoky red wax. From Colemine Records - they do a fantastic job with packaging and their bands, just top notch stuff. Shop Colemine. #colemineRecords #sureFireSoulEnsemble
Chatting with a friend the other night about this one. He pronounced the title like the last pitcher in a baseball game. Uh, whut tha? I've always pronounced it like the opposite of "near".
These guys just kill it with every record. Great repop from Suicide Squeeze Records. 500 on piss splatter vinyl. #coathangers
Happy Thursday! new CHATS single dropped today youtube.com/watch?v=--p34RKc…
Darkside album sides 1,2,3 cut at 33rpm.... side 4 cut at 45rpm. I like goofy record crap, but c'mon!

A really well written piece on Record Store Day. I stopped going 5 years ago because I was frustrated with what was being put out. I choose to spend my $ on records on lots of other days at my local shops. theguardian.com/music/2022/f…
