Don Henley - The End of the Innocence Sometimes albums slip out of sight for one reason or another. It came back to mind after watching the Eagles docu. Beautiful title track, Heart of the Matter, and New York Minute. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #VinylBlueSky

When the evenings grow dark early, it’s time for another beautiful song by Philip Lynott with Mark Knopfler on guitar. Lynott sings about the rainy day Elvis was buried and the impact it had on him. Time for a drink. youtu.be/2oliMOPsXis?...

Bryan Adams - Into the fire In my opinion, this is Bryan Adams' best album. The songs became compositions, but unfortunately the general public didn't agree. After hearing Native Son, I was truly hooked on Bryan Adams. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #VinylBlueSky

The most beautiful run I’ve ever done—and it doesn’t get better than this. Past the Prison of Socrates, by the Philopappos Monument, with breathtaking views of the Acropolis and its Parthenon. Truly special. #Quadriceps #Tendon #Tear #sportsinjury #surgery 103/🧵

The script is ready. The score is now 212 out of 213 (99.5%). A nice test of Copilot’s scripting capabilities. A few minor bugs left to fix. Still, a successful test. #VinylCollector #VinylCommunity #RecordCollection

I'm almost there but still working on why the script misses some albums and gets stuck at 87.5% hit. But every update makes me happier. #VinylCollector #VinylCommunity #RecordCollection

Inspired by @fsteix.com.br's collage, I used chat.mistral.ai to create a script that turns my Excel album list into a collage. This is the power of AI – turning search queries into actual working code! Still some bugs to fix, but I'm getting there. #VinylCollector #VinylCommunity #RecordCollection

The Jordan - Nowhere Near The Sky Everything about this album works: the vibe, the vocals, the cover art. Regret not buying it sooner. Luckily, Caro's new album drops next month. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #VinylBlueSky

The Beach Boys - Pet sounds Celebrated my brother’s 60th birthday yesterday. Gifted him one of the most—if not the most—beautiful albums ever made, from 1966. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #VinylBlueSky #MustHave

When the evenings grow dark early, it’s time for one of the most beautiful songs I know. Hard to believe it was ever a B-side for Charlie Rich. And Mark Knopfler’s guitar solo? Probably one of his very best. Knopfler at his finest. youtu.be/SUnQ6pIOAcs?...

Sombr - I Barely Know Her According to my daughter, one of the highlights of Lowlands 2026. I love it—funky, synthpop, emotional, and raw distorted vocals. Totally different from what I’m used to, but I’m really enjoying it. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #VinylBlueSky

Billy Joel - An Innocent Man This is my second Billy Joel album, and the more I listen, the surer I am it won’t be my last. Masterful storytelling, all carried by piano. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #VinylBlueSky

Mezzoforte - Surprise Surprise It must be from my keyboard lesson days—'Garden Party' brings me right back. Not that I was any good, but I think my teacher enjoyed it, and I liked her. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #lp

Fine Young Cannibals - The Raw & The Cooked Saturday morning: breakfast, coffee, and this album through the speakers. Eccentric, funky, soulful, and with that oh-so-characteristic voice of Roland Gift. Sadly, their 2nd and final album. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #lp

Tina Turner - Foreign Affair Another souvenir from Materiale Resistente (Via PO 25), Turin. I’ve always had a soft spot for Tina, so I'm happy with this purchase. Transporting it at 40°C/104°F is nerve-wracking. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #VinylBlueSky #MustHave

Eros Ramazzotti - Musica è Had a wonderful vacation in Piemonte where I found this album in a cute record store—Vinylstrong in Alba. It doesn’t get much more Italian, and what a fantastic 11-minute title track. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #VinylBlueSky #MustHave

Fit enough to enjoy the beautiful landscape and typical things to see in Italy during a morning run. Although the route involved steep ascents and descents of up to 17%, I didn't experience any knee trouble. #Quadriceps #Tendon #Tear #sportsinjury #surgery 102/🧵

I wasn’t sure if I’d still be posting updates about my quadriceps injury after the 100th post. But this is what’s been on my mind during recovery: jogging abroad in the hills, surrounded by the scents of the region. It brings so much joy. #Quadriceps #Tendon #Tear #sportsinjury #surgery 101/🧵

UB40 - More UB40 Music Often, you have to admit that an artist’s early work is their best. That’s definitely true for UB40. I was a loyal collector up until Rat in the Kitchen. But those first albums were truly great. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #VinylBlueSky

Kate Bush - The Kick Inside What a magnificent album this is. Intriguing vocals and compositions. And the most beautiful outro I know: the one from Wuthering Heights. Personally, I wish it had lasted even longer. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #VinylBlueSky

Once we turn sports into entertainment, we need scripts instead of pure sport. The sport is being directed, and that’s clearly visible at this World Cup. It may look entertaining, but in the end, the sport loses and polarization sets in. #WorldCup #FIFA #Infantino

Fine Young Cannibals - Fine Young Cannibals Another album off my wishlist: Fine Young Cannibals (self-titled album). Eccentric, funky, soul-infused new wave with Roland Gift’s iconic voice. Their cover of Suspicious Minds is amazing. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #lp

And although the entire Dire Straits—except Mark Knopfler himself—can be heard on Private Dancer, and the guitar solo sounds like Mark Knopfler, it’s actually Jeff Beck who plays it.

Since 2017, I’ve been using Polar sports watches. After the Polar M600 and Vantage V, it’s now time for the Vantage V3. Not that I plan to become an ultrarunner or go all-in on endurance—no worries. I see it more as motivation for my recovery. #Polar #VantageV #VantageV3

Still, I don’t think Argentina would’ve managed with ten against eleven. But we all know how it works.

Little River Band - Diamantina Cocktail Found another album from my wishlist—which, by the way, isn’t getting any shorter. Help Is on Its Way is such a fantastic '70s track. The whole album has gorgeous vocal lines. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #lp

Phil Collins - ...But Seriously Even though I already bought the CD in the late 80s, I still wanted the vinyl. However, it’s a nice record, especially All of My Life, Find a Way to My Heart and of course I Wish It Would Rain Down. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #lp

I’m so curious if Polar will release a smart ring in the future. I was considering buying an Oura, but now I’m waiting to see what Polar does. Yet, it’s suspiciously quiet on the news front. To be expected late 2026 or 2027? the5krunner.com/2024/02/18/p...

One year ago today, I stood on the beach, heard a pop and a dent above my knee. Now, a year later, the REVOC/VCB volleyball tournament is canceled due to 40°C heat. I’d have loved to be there—since last time, I was in the ER within minutes. #Quadriceps #Tendon #Tear #sportsinjury #surgery 100/🧵
