Pailhead – “Don't Stand In Line” EP (1988)
7", 45 RPM on Wax Trax! Records
One of the more interesting collaborations, featuring Ian MacKaye, Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen, Ministry bassist Paul Barker, and drummer Eric Spicer from Naked Raygun.
Black Flag – "Six Pack" (1981)
7" 45 RPM
Original SST pressing with black & white cover
This class punk anthem reminds me of the initial appeal I found in punk rock and underground music in general. Savage mockery of the worst parts of popular American culture, as it was at the time anyway.
Angry outsiders. The innately anti-authoritarian. These are my people!
Released 43 years ago this month, as @historyofpunkrock noted recently 👊
Hey folks! I’ve been radio silent the past few weeks for starting a brew job and vacation! However 3, 2, 1… Let’s Jam round two! #vinylalphabet with the Cowboy Bebop Netflix Series by Yoko Kano and The Seatbelts. I couldn’t pass up new recordings of these songs. So good! #animesoundtrack#anime#vinylrecords
From 60s R&B funk to sludge metal in the mid-2010s, a couple of 45s from classic New Orleans bands, The Meters and Eyehategod. Picked up at local NOLA recod shop, Sisters In Christ, along with a fun tote.
@billyjoebowers What a nice surprise! What I've been posting here lately is records I've had stashed away for years and haven't seen in a long time. It's been fun seeing what remains, including the various inserts. Also, some have surprisingly good value per Discogs.
I'd love to see some of your albums. I'm sure there's some good stuff found via your role at a distributor (I worked at an independent record store in the late 80s - early 90s, did a lot of buying used and ordering imports for myself lol)
Yeah, my wife was a big collector for years. I had no money ever until the late 80s early 90s, and then I worked at a distributor. So there's a short period that we have tons of stuff from and then nothing as we moved into new jobs.
Campoli Plays Paganini-Kreisler, Saint-Saëns (LSO, cond. Gamba) (1959)
When I'm not listening to reissues of 1970s soul jazz, I'm geeking over old London Decca classical records. This one was a thrift store find yesterday.
Various – More Coffee For The Politicians (Phoenix Underground Music Compilation #3)
Placebo Records, 1985
Regionally focused comps were super helpful back before the internet. Best way to focus on a specific scene.
This one has a nice variety of musical styles. It's #3 in a series from Placebo spotlighting the Phoenix Scene (e.g. "This Is Phoenix, Not The Circle Jerks" and "Amuck").
There's a white paper insert with some Placebo Records and their respective prices listed. It's an order form you'd mail in.
GARY NUMAN
The Pleasure Principle
1979 Canada pressing
Once I finished listening to the John Foxx record, I had to put this on.
Gary & John are two artists that are forever entwined for me.
The Pleasure Principle is one of the greatest albums of all time, regardless of genre or era, and NO I did not stutter.
Without Gary (and John as well), it’s hard to imagine a world that has Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, or Depeche Mode.
Just a legendary artist. #vinyl#vinylrecords#synth#newwave#synthpop

It's important to have a good sized bag that qualifies as a "personal item", separate from the carry-on bag. It's remarkable how much you can fit under a seat. 💺
So, I take a big duffel bag for the overhead, which I lay a sweatshirt across the bottom in.
I take the 10-15 records I usually find and wrap them in a pillowcase, and make sure they’re snug and secure, and then put the clothes I DIDNT leave behind and neatly elastic them individually, rolled up, and lay them on top. It’s heavy….but always the right size.
Been doing this for 30 years. 😂
