gloomy

Sleep tight Ghosts aren't real

#vinylsky #siberiancats Roxy took a month to settle in to her natural snooze spot

ugh youtube recommended videos throwing "metal has a woke problem" in there like I'm gonna give that trash views for outrage the "stop recommending this channel" button, the thumbs-down button, and getting back to my "top 5000 pastors who were sex pests" videos kthx

the conversations I have #wwesmackdown btw wear whatever you want for a street fight

You can be lucky in love #vinylsky #nowspinning Real Life has one of the worst SEO band names, if only they knew in 1983 Send Me an Angel is still hype af And still creepy to 6 year old me

Echo & the Bunnymen is a natural progression #vinylsky #nowspinning I have filled my whole heart with jangle the last two days and I'm so far from done

Bow Wow Wow's most excellent debut #vinylsky #nowspinning If you know the history of this band we can all say fuck Malcolm McLaren into the sun for both stealing The Ants and exploiting a 15 year old girl But hell, what a cool album came out of it. Annabella was a QUEEN

Of course Ultravox was going to be in this vibe playlist #vinylsky #nowspinning Vienna isn't my favorite Ultravox record, "I prefer the old shit" syndrome, but the vibes are immaculate (read: synth noises that creeped me out me as a kid)

How could I go on a 1980-1984 run of post-punk/new wave and not toss in this gem #vinylsky #nowspinning I love that Al Jourgensen has finally embraced this old Ministry past. With Sympathy is a fun synthy ride & nothing to be embarrassed about

Missing Persons - Spring Session M #vinylsky #nowspinning Nobody walks in LA

After knocking out that new delivery I'm bouncing back to my post-punk/new wave bullshit I kicked off last night. Icicle Works #vinylsky #nowspinning I have both the UK and US versions of this somehow. And have no clue which is which lol

Thursday spins! The Demon Knight soundtrack! #vinylsky #nowspinning Lots of familiar tunes but the Tales from the Crypt nostalgia in itself is awesome

new homeowner update: we now have a separate fridge for drinks and a chest freezer guess we're all set to become doomsday preppers. if only I didn't want to use my basement for things other than canned beans

Last one, Gary Numan - Pleasure Principle #vinylsky #nowspinning Kinda funny but when I was a kid, synths like this scared the shit out of me. I know it's meant to be disconcerting, but it made me grow up with innate fear of melty fucked up noises. Also yes I'm the audience for analog horror

Frida - Something's Going On #vinylsky #nowspinning Idk this is a mess and also perfect. Phil Collins is involved with an ABBA solo project. Title track is perfection. Shut up & spin it. Was gonna do Missing Persons but nah we'll not torture the cats that much in one night

I'm caught up in jangly shit now. So let's go with Icehouse - Primitive Man #vinylsky #nowspinning I have 2 different extended 12" mixes of Hey Little Girl but haven't played the full album in a while Lol my copy was $2

Welp who else knows The Passions? #vinylsky #nowspinning I'm in Love with a German Film Star is one of those oddball post-punk/new wave tunes that imprinted on me. Helps that the rest of the record is also spectacular

Artsy pic, it's Poe - Hello #vinylsky #nowspinning I used to know all the lyrics on this one by heart, still mostly do. It popped in my head this afternoon so here we are Dynamite on subtitles tonight

watching a youtube video talking about a bunch of the arab uprisings supported by anonymous and all I can say is the minneapolis ptsd is real never mind that the feds are still trying to break us down and destroy our community with division fuck authoritarianism and anyone who supports it

Reasons why my cats are mad at me this morning, Sunday edition Katja: she curled up on me and immediately decided she didn't want to actually curl up on me so she growled and made bitchy noises before leaving Roxy: I wouldn't let her eat a bee

The first occupant of our guest bed I mean it was a given that the cats would beat any human guest to the punch but it's also nice to have a guest bed set up and ready The rest of the house is still working its way to guest-ready but hey. Baby steps

the funniest thing about having large cats in a house with 1918 wood floors is being able to hear them being dipshits no matter where they are it's an endless THUNK plopplopplopplopplop and even funnier when they start chasing each other & can't grip anything pic is technically unrelated

MACHINES OF LOVING GRACE ON VINYL PLS #nowspinning Rite of Shiva is hilariously awful with a lovely vibe We really want the other records. But I love me a hot mess

Another WHY THE FUCK ISN'T THIS ON VINYL pull #nowspinning The Rentals - Return of The Rentals For those out of the loop it's kind of a Weezer / that dog. supergroup. Recommended if you like violins and moog If you're friends with P well then you're friends with me

My #nowspinning is getting silly as I am now literally going through streaming grabbing my "I WANT THIS ON VINYL" list Drain S.T.H. - Freaks of Nature Look this isn't rocket surgery tunes But srsly how hasn't this gotten pressed I need to throw my hands in the air

So we have a streaming deal now (Wiim) which connects to my digital library and other services whatever Can we get the s/t Eleven album on vinyl pls I fuckin love this record obligatory RIP Natasha

omg OneDrive. girl stop calling me out

Missed posting our last spin, Anthrax - Sound of White Noise #vinylsky #nowspinning We ended up talking over the whole thing but whatever it was still a great backdrop

COZY HOURS means Dream Theater #vinylsky #nowspinning We were talking about ton earlier about how we discovered this album and our thoughts about it over time Being married for 20 years and still these dumb talks about the early 90s At least I married a guy who knows ball lol

Rivers of Nihil - The Work #vinylsky #nowspinning My husband has gotten in on buying records recently, so we're on his shit now & I'll form opinions later It's kicking off with drama and hooray for drama

Faith No More - Album of the Year #vinylsky #nowspinning Neither my husband nor I were listening to FNM in this era but there are some fuckin BANGERS that I had in rotation even if not the rest of the album ...you might surprise yourself

Haken - Fauna #vinylsky #nowspinning I was not aware of the new EP. I was not aware of the recent band lineup turmoil. I am bad at paying attention But I love The Alphabet of Me so hard I'm just gonna simmer in that before I hit the record store tomorrow for that EP lol

Alcest - Écailles de Lune #vinylsky #nowspinning Picked this up when we saw them open for Mastodon. although I'm not super familiar with their stuff, I'm a sucker for gloomy sad pretty metal

The dizzied-up girl got flooded, as the goo goo dolls wave continues #vinylsky #nowspinning I don't want to say there was a HUGE shift in style from the previous album but yeah, success breeds label pressure breeds milquetoasting. Still plenty of great songs here, just less bite and more polish

Discogs sellers be like "only played a couple of times" Me after a simple brush pass like "so when you weren't playing this, did you store it in an ashtray"

I've had "Long Way Down" in and out of my head after a discussion about what a crime it is that the Twister soundtrack hasn't had a vinyl release #vinylsky #nowspinning I really really dig that song tho Still, we are on a full Goo Goo Dolls journey now. I don't think I'll make it on my own

me: sneezing a ton. getting a tissue. blowing my nose, clearing out all the nose stuff. being presentable 15 seconds later, another sneeze appears, and somehow finds magical unknown nose stuff me, yelling loudly: REALLY, MY NOSE?

So we ran into Mark from epicopeners.com where we got this crazy awesome opener a while back & just wanted to show y'all his work We were told today that this one was a total pain in the ass to make and he'd never do it again 😂
