Today's vinyl arrival - been eyeing this one for a while. One of my favorite songs from my favorite band, circa 1988. And with a (killer) Who cover on the b-side! Wasn't pricey, but just never jumped before. Plus, this copy is minty! 🔥
"Room Without a View" is an awesome Smithereens song (the vocals, melody, bassline! 🤯) and I found this GREAT fan-made video for it that really sums up the whole thing.
This week's #ThursdayFiveList is #TheSleep and the first three here all have the same title - the Static-X one is a GREAT cover of the Sabbath one. The Smithereens one is a different song (but still great, they were big Sabbath fans too - their song was definitely a nod):
I'm convinced Putin's plan was to cause a Western distraction in Gaza and then go on the offensive in Ukraine...
All of that just happened, but Putin didn't count on getting his ass kicked by Ukraine when Russia just started its biggest attack since the start of the war!
Russia lost approximately 1,030 soldiers, 44 artillery systems, 26 tanks, and 49 armoured combat vehicles in the past 24 hours! #AureFreePress#Ukraine️ #Russia#Putin
August 12th is National Vinyl Record Day (apparently) so I grabbed all the vinyl I could find in my house. It's not a lot. I used to have many crates full. But after many moves, I thinned the collection down to nearly nothing, as I do digital music mostly now (I have no turntable anymore either). But sometimes, I grab a couple. Bought the bottom row here recently. Odd I can't find my copy of Telekon. Pretty sure I still have that one somewhere. I hope so. And wow, I have two copies of Green Thoughts, one signed, one not. Check out that picture disc. I should get better photos of it eventually. It's rad.
