Bit of a special Turntable Tuesday today. About a year ago, my son and I saw The Black Keys at Red Rocks—touring on the back of this album, Dropout Boogie. It was special. I’ll never forget that show.

Fast forward to last week, when I ordered this pink swirl vinyl of Dropout Boogie. I couldn’t resist once I knew it existed. It’s pretty and heavy. Today is its first spin! Sounds great so far.

I forgot to do Turntable Tuesday so we’re going with Vinyl Vriday.

I was a big REM fan as a kid, but somehow forgot about them by like 1995. This strikes me as their most famous album, but Out of Time is the one that really stuck with me. I can still remember dad explaining the satire of Shiny Happy People to me. I’m still working through my dad’s collection, but hopefully that one is hiding in here somewhere.

It’s #TurntableTuesday! Yeah it’s totally a thing.

I moved my desk, record collection, turntable, speakers, etc into a different room recently. I decided it needed a classic album to break it in today.

Damn the Torpedoes by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is so, so good. Great start to the day!
