Gorgeous. Sounds great and nicely bookends the original (behind the new, autographed jacket). Thanks, Sam! #BlackTapeForABlueGirl #TheRope #VinylCollection

Black Tape For a Blue Girl’s debut album “The Rope” playing on a turntable. The vinyl platter is a black-blue splatter. The album cover is the same shade of blue with a blurry photo of a woman looking down.

So many things wrong with this. Chief among them is that he hasn’t had any wins.

I love Michigan!

So much that I’m returning to the Great Lakes state to talk about my great achievements since we won in 2024.

I would love to see you there!

I could not have one without the support of Michiganders like you. Join me to celebrate our wins!

Thank you,
President DJT

Welcome back mc chris! Although, I wish I had known the vinyl didn’t have a DL card so I could’ve bought the CD too. Oh well. Long live the king!

Mc Chris’ latest album, King in Black playing on my turntable. The platter is white. The album cover has a cartoon depiction of mc chris as a ragged-looking king with a sword.

I swear, I’m going to make an account dedicated to Apple iTunes’ most epic album artwork fails.

Uh, no Apple iTunes. I mean, it could be true, but it’s still wrong.

I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again it again: this album may be the weirdest one in my collection, and I have Teenage Jesus and The Jerks! #RareSilk #NewWeave #VinylCollection #MusicSky

I should’ve checked this #BlackTapeForABlueGirl album out when it first came out back in my senior year of high school, but I held Remnants in such high regard, I was afraid to be let down. It didn’t let me down. #AsOneAflame #VinylCollection

Black Tape For A Blue Girl’s 1999 album “As One Aflame Laid Bare By Desire” playing on my turntable. The vinyl disc is a black, white and gold splatter. The album cover is a monochrome, Olan Mills-style photo of a woman in varying stages of undress.

Hard to believe I slept on this one for so long. Highly recommended if you like Echo and The Bunnymen or Joy Division! #TheSound #FromTheLionsMouth #VinylCollection #MusicSky

The Sound’s second studio album, “From The Lions Mouth” playing on my turntable. The vinyl is bright orange to match the color tint of the album cover. The album cover depicts a man in a hoodless black robe — his hands bound behind him — facing a pride of lions.

To anyone in #Michigan receiving this in the mail, just throw it away. It’s yet another attempt to disenfranchise voters under the guise of #ElectionSecurity.

A petition being circulated in Michigan by Republicans to require voter ID. It’s a poll tax and a “solution” in search of a problem.

Despite some of Nick Cave’s recent regrettable comments, this remains one of a small handful of live albums that I absolutely adore and I am delighted to have it in my collection finally. #TheBirthdayParty #Live8182 #VinylCollection #NowPlaying #MusicSky

Of course the latest iOS version would be less accessible for low vision individuals. Of course it would.

Job interview today went pretty well, so I was persuaded to reward myself by the fiancé. #SistersOfMercy #FirstAndLastAndAlways #MusicSky #VinylCollection

Here is my positive contribution to BlueSky today. Getting to see Hiroshima live is definitely one of those things that I would have regretted missing out on, and they played a phenomenal show.

I’ve had this album by the Stone Roses in my collection for nearly 15 years and… I just didn’t get it. I didn’t see what the big deal is. At this point, I can appreciate it, but I still wouldn’t say I “get it.”
