Recently I got boxes of free vinyl from a family friend. After cataloging everything on Discogs (except for the loose vinyl, the box sets, and the occasional duplicate album) the total comes out to 203 albums (although there are two EPs and one disco single in that count)

this album is out now! i have a track in it! this may be my favorite infloresce release. it runs through a breadth of emotions. it's achingly heavy, it's rejuvenating, it's heart-pumping, it's soothing. i cried a lot. go listen and feel everything! infloresce.bandcamp.com/album/inflor...

Did people just forget that Christian Henson was a transphobic piece of shit? Cause it’s kinda insane how he just decided to step down from Spitfire, start a new company, and it’s doing extremely well after 2 years

Genuinely hate how a Lyft driver will be 2 minutes away from your location and then it changes your driver saying “we found a closer driver for you” and they’re fucking 8 minutes away

I truly love how early on in Dolly’s career she made it known she was a feminist. These are from her 3rd album She was 22 years old when this released in 1968

Derek Best @derekbestmusic.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

The Queen herself passing. I’m heartbroken. She lived such a beautiful life and gave back to so many people and loving freely. You will be missed Dolly. I will miss you forever.

I can understand critics rating this because they get pre-release viewings of the entire season…but Rotten Tomatoes shouldn’t really allow regular users to rate a slow releasing show’s new season…until the season finale airs

Genuinely incredibly delicious and flavor wise tastes exactly like regular vanilla Greek yogurt. Only real difference is that texture wise it’s slightly less thick than a Greek yogurt.
