Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Love and Rockets (1985) “Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven”
Gave this a spin this morning before hitting the road. Yet another supergroup (10th of 15) up for consideration in #5debutalbums8589. As much as I ❤️ L&R—and this one is terrific—it probably won’t make my top 5. #johnsvinyl #wasplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Camouflage (1988) “Voices & Images”
Last spin tonight for #5debutalbums8589 was this Depeche Mode record camouflaged as another band. They command some great songs here. #johnsvinyl #wasplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Book of Love (1986) s/t
Spun this earlier today and forgot to post it for #5debutalbums8589. A terrific synth pop record with tracks that I frequently danced to in the day. #johnsvinyl #wasplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Steely Dan (1977) “Aja”
Continuing with my #1001albums before I die quest
@1001albumsgen.bsky.social I spun this one last night. It’s among a small number of what I consider to be perfect albums. #5/1001
Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. T Rex (1971) “Electric Warrior”
Listened to this classic rocker last night for #1001albums @1001albumsgen.bsky.social #4/1001.
Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5

Outer cover and CD. LCD Soundsystem (2005) s/t
Spun this earlier today for #5debutalbums0509. I like it quite a bit, but since it’s only in #johnsCDs, I don’t play it often enough. #wasplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Joe South (1968) “Introspect”
This afternoon I spun this 1968 record for #5debutalbums50s60s. Joe may be more well known a songwriter than singer, his “Games Prople Play” on this album won a best song Grammy. Not a bad record. #johnsvinyl #wasplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Fever Tree (1968) s/t
Next up was some more American psych from Houston(!) #5debutalbums50s60s I bought this recently and instantly loved it; perhaps a bit of a hidden gem(?). #johnsvinyl #wasplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Nazz (1968) s/t
I’ve been busy doing other stuff today, but I spun a few more 1968 records for #5debutalbums50s60s First up this morning was a would-be contender. Todd was off to great start here! #johnsvinyl #wasplaying
Co-signing.
#WasPlaying #PrefabSprout - Jordan: The Comeback (1990/2024 2LP)
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Moby Grape (1967) s/t
Listened to this one from 1967 for #5debutalbums50s60s and forgot to post it. #johnsvinyl #wasplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Wilson Pickett (1963) “It’s too late”
Picked up this cool 1963 R&B qualifier yesterday for #5debutalbums50s60s. #johnsvinyl #wasplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Buddy Holly (1958) s/t
Next up for #5debutalbums50s60s was this one from 1958. He really was amazing! #johnsvinyl #wasplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Duane Eddy (1962) “Twistin' 'N' Twangin’”
Just spun this, but it doesn’t qualify for #5debutalbums50s60s. It’s from ‘62 at the peak of surf guitar music. Pretty good in that context, though #johnsvinyl #wasplaying
cover for 'Aha Shake Heartbreak' - the Kings of Leon
cover for 'World's Gone Wrong' - Lucinda Williams
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. The Woofers (1964) “Dragsville”
Spun this 1964 surf-drag record. The group is called “The Woofers” and I can’t find much about them online. There is some suggestion that they were a renaming of The Dovells (and also know as The Scramblers). It’s not terrible, #johnsvinyl #wasplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Thelonious Monk Septet (1957) “Monk’s Music”
Guest choice tonight. New friends over for drinks. They picked artist. I picked slab. #johnsvinyl #wasplaying

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Mark Daumail “Speed of Light”
Next up from my #vinylsanta. Don’t know anything about this guy. It’s pleasant French pop sung in English. #johnsvinyl #wasplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Nick Lowe “(Not) Indoor Safari vol. 1”
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Buddy Guy “Ain’t Done With The Blues”
Spun these two earlier today for #5albums25. Both Nick and Buddy are heroes who are still making great music. #johnsvinyl #wasplaying
Forgot to post this earlier (so not quite #NowPlaying, more like #WasPlaying) - Secrets from the Outer Wilds, @andrewprahlow.bsky.social's soundtrack for the Echoes of the Eye DLC.
Today, I discovered that the sleeve reveals secrets under UV light, an incredible & perfect detail!
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Todd Rundgren “Runt”
Managed to squeeze one in this morning before heading to work. #5debutalbums7074. Love me some Todd and this is a usual mixed bag of his fun. #johnsvinyl #wasplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Tubeway Army feat. Gary Numan s/t
Played this new acquisition last night and this morning. Excellent! #johnsvinyl #wasplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young “Deja Vu”
I guess this one counts for #5debutalbums7074 on a technicality that it’s csn&Y. Won’t make my top 5, but it’s a good listen. RIP David Crosby #johnsvinyl #wasplaying

(Was) Now Playing: Kitaro's "Silk Road"
I used to hate new age music, but I got old and soft. This album pleased my earholes, and I heartily recommend it 👍🏼

Just discovered this unpublished blog entry from May of this year. I would consider just scrapping it, but I put a decent amount of work into it before I... lost interest. So, here it is, for what it's worth... #nowplaying #wasplaying #vinyl #vinylsky sethellaneo.us/was-playing-...
