Lemme be real for a second. I’ve got a massive back log of records that I need to get through before I can resume the normal alphabetical trek through the rest of my collection. Some of these purchases stretch back to 2020 or earlier. Problem is, I’ve put way too much pressure on myself to deliver thoughtful, in-depth reviews for each entry.

But if I’m really honest, the thought process behind my record buying is rarely as thorough as the review process. Sometimes I just buy something because it seems neat. Sometimes, I’ve just had a couple too many beers and start browsing Discogs.

So if I may, I’m gonna try to lower my self-standards for a bit so I can blitz through this queue.

So, it’s been over a month without a post. And for that, I apologize.

One of those instances of life happening and happening and happening over and over again. My wife and I ran a launch on our webcourse in November, so that took most of my extra time, then we pushed hard prepping our shop for the Holiday shopping season, and then I got bronchitis, then I’ve been catching up from having bronchitis.

But, I’m back, and boy, have I gotten some good discs.

Resume transmission.

Hello, readers.

I’d like to take a moment to apologize for the lack of posts in the past week. But I promise I have a really, really good excuse.

While I seemingly spend most of my time listening to records, the last two weeks I’ve been making one with my band SPACESHIPS. We’ve been recording in my house with our friend Dave of Naal, and it’s been super dope. We’ll be announcing some new stuff really soon, so keep your ears open.

After we’re all wrapped up, I’ll be jumping back into reviews—which is great, because I’ve got some really great stuff in the queue…I finally got a copy of Mineral’s perennial emo classic EndSerenading, and then I’ve finally arrived at the Mogwai section of my collection, which is one of my favorite sections.

Until then, keep spinning.

Hello, fellow turntablists! I’m in St. Petersburg, Florida for a conference. The city’s got a few great record stores that I plan on visiting, but since I’m separated from my turntable, I won’t have a chance to actually review anything. But, I’ll be back in action next week.

Be excellent to each other.
