I study sex, evolution & genes. Frequently all three. I also love music, food & dogs. Other interests include bikes (pedals & motors), books & travel. I’m paleo-adjacent. See #johnsvinyl @discogs: john-logsdon **ALL OPINIONS STATED ARE MINE ALONE**
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Hawkwind (1971) “In Search of Space”
Next up is a copy of this classic that I picked up recently for my buddy Albert @meristicmanifest.bsky.social. All cleaned up and giving it a test spin. #nowplaying
Or 4-5x faculty salaries…
So the “foundation” can take 20-30% (to fund their salaries which are 2x yours) and then they use it for shit you don’t care about. If faculty want to give $$, they should just buy stuff direct for their labs/departments.
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. The Dream Academy (1985) s/t
Next up for #5debutalbums8589 is this new-wavy (at times) dream-pop record co-produced by David Gilmour. It has aged well and is an enjoyable listen. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
Clubs razed for condos no doubt.
More records? 😛
It’s a shame. Probably economic? I’m guessing a few quid entry in those days. The bands didn’t get much but maybe the venues didn’t keep it all.
Cleaning the Dolly Parton records in #johnsvinyl today on the #humminguru. All six have orange RCA labels!
Yes, I had some friends at Uni who were fans before they hit. They would go see them live at clubs because they were so fun ..
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Doctor and the Medics (1986) “Laughing at the Pieces”
Next up for #5debutalbums8589. This is a sentimental favorite, since I was in the UK as an exchange student when the single hit. They came to UC Swansea for a gig when it was climbing the charts to #1 in 1986. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
I have it also. In #johnsCDs however.
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. De La Soul (1989) “3 Feet High and Rising”
Next up for #5debutalbums8589. Although I’m not an aficionado of hip-hop, I know some of the good shit. And this is in that category. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
Two dogs on a black leather couch, surrounded by records. Sweet Jane, left, a golden retriever. Dreamboat Annie, right, a black Labrador retriever.
#Dogs on couch with records.
Outer cover and CD. Living Colour (1988) “Vivid”
Starting my day with a double dip for both #5debutalbums8589 and #1001albums #14/1001. This is an amazing record that I definitely need in #johnsvinyl. Such a great mix of metal, punk and funk that only they could pull off. #johnsCDs #nowplaying ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5
Excellent. Indeed, I did enjoy it. Thanks!
On Saturday, March 7th Jello Biafra suffered a hemorrhagic stroke caused by high blood pressure.
As per Jello:
Listened today on 🍎 for #1001albums @1001albumsgen.bsky.social It’s the third so-far that’s not in my collection & #13/1001 I mostly don’t care for the “song” fragment mode that’s on full display. The fully developed songs are pretty good & Frank’s voice is nice, but it’s just not my thing. ⭐️⭐️ 2/5
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. The T-bones (1966) “No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)”
Another $2 thrift store pick-up from yesterday. The T-bones were a studio creation using Wrecking Crew musicians. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
Name a Movie Starting With The Letter "J" (“The” can be silent) #filmsky #moviesky
A figure depicting the relative abundance of different prey items among two species of felid (e.g., monkey, small bird, agouti), derived from scat. The x axis is labeled "PoO (%)."
I would like to interrupt your doomscrolling for an important announcement: This figure from Ellen Dymit et al., 2025, depicts the proportion of vertebrate prey in felid scat, recorded as a Proportion of Occurrence (PoO). 💩
Rear cover, FYI.
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. MANNY CORCHADO AND HIS ORCHESTRA featuring TITO JIMENEZ (1967) “Aprovecha El Tiempo”
First up tonight is yesterday’s thrift store score. It sounds great. Anybody know anything about this record? #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
Retag #5debutalbums8589
Nice score!!
The Corchado/Jimenez record has been cleaned on the #humminguru I look forward to giving it a spin!
Great choices. And I’m happy to report that —as of last week— I now have all four in #johnsvinyl since I added Sinead!
Happy #internationalwomensday indeed!
Four more, less consequential, $2 finds from today. #johnsvinyl
Thrift scores today for #johnsvinyl The Wanda record was broken, so the clerk gave me the iconic sleeve for free. The Corchado/Jimenez record fetches up to $200. And the vinyl is VG+. Not bad for $2.
