Spinning R.E.M. Monster on vinyl.
R.E.M. Monster. I haven’t spun this in ages and I have no idea why. R.E.M. rock on this album. Love it. Though I hate the remaster - this is an original pressing. The remaster lacks punch. #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying #nowspinning #music
Spinning The Pixies: Bossanova on vinyl.
The Pixies: Bossanova. Another favourite live band. Fantastic shows and I always left feeling wrecked. This is probably my fave album of there’s. Weird, I know.

Green Day: American Idiot. Haven’t spun this in ages. Brilliant album from a brilliant group. More relevant today than ever. #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying #nowspinning #music
Spinning Frank Turner: Tape Deck Heart on vinyl.
Frank Turner: Tape Deck Heart. Frank’s is a song writer who seems to be able to express how I feel (or have felt) way better than I can. And one of the best live acts I’ve ever heard. #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying #nowspinning #music
Spinning The Cranberries: No Need To Argue on vinyl.
The Cranberries: No Need To Argue. “Zombie” has been playing in my head since the war in Iran started. That song gives me chills everytime I hear it. #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying #nowspinning #music
Spinning System Of A Down: System Of A Down on vinyl.
System Of A Down: System Of A Down. Time for some LOUD music!!!!!! #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying #nowspinning #music
Spinning Bob Dylan; MTV Unplugged on vinyl.
Bob Dylan; MTV Unplugged. Been listening to his Bobness for a long time and his music means a lot. But every time I listen I hear something new and appreciate him more. Music is powerful stuff. #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying #nowspinning #music
Spinning Traveling Willburys: Volume One on vinyl.
Traveling Willburys: Volume One. I love this album, it’s so good and fun. Just lifts my spirit whenever I hear it. #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying #nowspinning #music
Spinning Lankum: Ghost Town on vinyl;
Lankum: Ghost Town. Midweek music starting with a 12” single. Don’t listen singles much but this a fantastic cover by a band that I love. With a cool etching on the B side.

Depends on where you’re coming from!
6V6V I'm not a big fan of anyone trying to argue that art is not a political place. Everything is politics. But more than ever, art is politics because you don't get to make art in a fascist state. Fascism is on the rise in every single country in the world. CMAT
Art is vital to improve the world. #ArtIsResistance #Resistance
![Roddenberry quote that indeed has
been posted before, but worth
revisiting at this time.
"Star Trek was an attempt to say that humanity will
reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins
not just to tolerate, but take a special delight in
differences in ideas and differences in life forms. [..]
If we cannot learn to actually enjoy those small
differences, to take a positive delight in those small
differences between our own kind, here on this
planet, then we do not deserve to go out into space
and meet the diversity that is almost certainly out
there." -

Spinning Heart: Dreamboat Annie on vinyl.
Heart: Dreamboat Annie. Finishing the evening off with the Wilson sisters. Great vocals and guitar - and fantastic songs. Music for late night. #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying #nowspinning #music
I have a list……..
Spinning Chicago: Chicago V on vinyl.
Chicago: Chicago V. To me, this album is going to the park with my friends to play frisbee and hang out with all the other people. It’s the perfect album for those days. Sometimes I really miss them! #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying #nowspinning #music
I remember Harmony House! I’ve been to the Southgate one, but my main stops were on Woodward Avenue and the one in Oakland Mall.
Spinning The Doobie Brothers: Toulouse Street on vinyl.
The Doobie Brothers: Toulouse Street. Full nostalgia mode - grew up in the 70s with an older brother and sister, both of whom introduced me to some great music including this. Perfect 70s music. #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying #nowspinning #music
Spinning Boston on vinyl.
Boston. Since I’m in a nostalgic mood, I need to play this. First album I ever bought with my own money - at the Royal Oak Farmers Market, where they had a flea market on Sundays. Great album - glad I got to hear them live. #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowspinning #music

Hate commenting on my own photos but…. How the f**k can a guitar solo (the one in Let It Be) I’ve heard a few thousand times *still* hit me in the heart and make me cry?????
Aww, you really need it,. It’s a great album!
Spinning The Beatles: Let It Be on vinyl.
The Beatles: Let It Be. Been listening to this album for over 50 years now (jeez how did that happen????). Always loved it. One of my favourite Beatles albums. This is my UK second pressing. #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying #nowspinning #music
Spinning The Velvet Underground & Nico on vinyl.
The Velvet Underground & Nico. I’ve loved this album since I first heard it yonks ago. Then I found out it came out on the day I was born and I liked it even more. This pressing sounds amazing but I don’t have an OG (top of the want list) to compare it to. #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity
Spinning Lou Reed: Ecstasy on vinyl.
Lou Reed: Ecstasy. Haven’t spun this in ages. Saw Lou in Edinburgh when he was touring this album. Great gig for a great album. I alway think his later albums are very underrated.

What do you think? I really like it.

Spinning Richard Thompson: Mirror Blue on vinyl.
Richard Thompson: Mirror Blue. One of my favourite guitarists and songwriters. “Beeswing” is a fantastic tune but the whole album is great. #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying #nowspinning #music
