Currently Spinning: Gunship - Gunship. A really strong debut synthwave offering. Tech Noir, Fly for Your Life, Maximum Black are some standout tracks- the entire album is one of my favorites in the genre. #vinyl #music #nowplaying #nowspinning @vinylrecords

DEF LEPPARD
Hysteria
1987 Canada pressing

I gave my 14 year old son the pick of our breakfast spin this morning before school, and THIS was his choice.
When I asked why he picked that, he said he saw a “weird dude” in a Def Leppard shirt working at West 49 at the mall. 😂
Fair enough.

He’d never heard a note of DL before, and his synopsis of Hysteria was nothing more than “just ok”.

He liked Love Bites but called Pour Some Sugar On Me “asinine”. 😂

PRINCE
1999
1982 Canada 2xLP pressing

Today, I’m gonna party like it’s… well, you know.

My older sister might have been the biggest Prince fan to ever walk the Earth.
This was the first Prince album I ever heard, as she used to play this ad nauseam around the house in the early #80s .
Then, Purple Rain started to fall from the sky on all of us, & Prince became the head of our household for the next 8 years.
The world is far less interesting without him.

Found a $10 bill crumpled inside this album that I paid $5 for. Makes a good deal even better. #vinyl @vinylrecords #crateDigging

NICK DRAKE
Five Leaves Left
2013 U.S. remastered reissue

My wife and I don’t share very much common ground when it comes to music.
However, Nick Drake is someone we both love and adore, and my wife and I have shared many a wonderful night together with Nick’s music as the backdrop.
Tonight, we have this and a lovely Italian dinner.
This remaster sounds wonderful. Just a wonderful sounding issue of a stunningly gorgeous album.

TOM WAITS
Mule Variations
2023 U.S. remastered reissue
180g Furnace pressing

A muddy, earthy masterpiece of epic proportions.
There’s art on here that is SO quintessential Tom; like the bonkers “What’s He Building?” & “Filipino Box Spring Hog”.
I bought this in ‘99 immediately after hearing Big In Japan, & since then, this album has remained on my list of 3 fave Tom albums.
It’s also a go-to for me in the Fall season.
A perfect piece of art.

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS
Flood
2023 Czech Republic reissue

TMBG has always been feel good comfort music to me; reminding me of a very joyful run of years in my life.
I owe every ounce of the love I have for them to the cartoon Tiny Toons Adventures, which I was obsessed with as a kid, and kind of still am.

This album, along with Lincoln, is impossibly good.
Unique, inventive, and singularly TMBG.
I love them forever.

Glad to find a cheap copy of this classic. Was a big Squirrel Bait fan and was impressed where they went with Slint and other projects after the breakup.

Follow-up to my poll about music listening, I'm wondering: If you like to own (interpret ownership as you will) your music, what type of media is the MAJORITY of your collection? ( no multiple choices this time, you have to pick one!)

NIRVANA
With The Lights Out
2004 U.S. 3xCD/1xDVD Box Set

One last birthday gift for your friendly neighborhood Vinyl Ape.

I already “had” this, but it was absolutely unplayable. The audio discs were trashed from years of travel & car play, and from people borrowing it over the years.
A friend of mine spotted a pristine used copy, & thought it would make a good birthday gift for your old pal, here.
First thing I did aftef getting it was fire the old one into the sun.

THE WONDERS
That Thing You Do! / Dance With Me Tonight
1996 U.S. PROMO 7”
45rpm

I saw somebody recently post that this entire soundtrack was getting a #vinyl reissue soon, and was reminded that I had the 7” single for it somewhere.
I bought this a looong time ago simply because it’s one of my all time favorite movies, and I love Adam Schlesinger.
None of my #45s are registered on Discogs, so once I found it, was shocked to see it goes for over $100 CAD.

Hey… here’s a quick question.

Ummm…. was THIS really necessary?
And does it really warrant a $40 CAD price tag.

Let’s get a fucking grip on ourselves, people. This is completely out of hand.

Punks think they’re individuals.

Yet, they all wear the same uniform, listen to the same music…
They all look the same, sound the same… talk the same.
Isn’t that hilarious?
Isn’t that just fucking hilarious?

MY MORNING JACKET
Z
2020 U.S. 2xLP reissue
Purple vinyl

The job ATO did on this reissue is phenomenal. It sounds incredible, and I’d have to imagine that it’s the definitive version to own on vinyl.

Much like my previous Wilco post of YHF, this is my cutoff point with MMJ. Everything that follows this is a huge letdown for me, but Z is so astonishingly great, anything would be.
This album paired with It Still Moves, and I’m pretty much good to go on MMJ.

The Ape’s journey home begins now.

Thank you to all the lovely people of Whistler (and the many people I encountered on the road there) for all their hospitality and wonderfulness.

Will be back at my jungle chateau in about 12 hours, with a bunch of #vinyl #vinylrecords from my travels.

Man.
Did I ever need that vacation. I haven’t touched a guitar in 9 days.
