Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Since being laid off in November, I’ve stayed focused on networking and actively searching for my next opportunity. This week, I had the chance to take on consulting work with a company in the UK. It felt great to dive into meaningful work instead of scrolling job boards all day. 010
Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 11/02/2026Morning meeting with the local fishing supervisor. He didn’t say much. Just held the branch and watched the water like a pro. Not a bad way to start the day. #PNW #MorningWalk #AlwaysGo 010
Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 11/02/2026Oh boy! Another Summer weekend booked! #StringCheeseIncident 000
Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Snarky Puppy at Revolution Hall in Portland, OR is easily the show I’m most excited about this year. If you get a chance to see them live, don’t hesitate. You won’t regret it. 000
Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 09/02/2026Rest in power, Ebo Taylor. A giant of Ghanaian highlife and Afro-funk whose music carried joy, resistance, and deep soul across generations. Grateful for the grooves, the messages, and the legacy you leave behind. 🖤 🇬🇭 051

Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 08/02/2026Spinning The Sylvers this morning and thinking about how much Black family groups shaped the sound of the ’70s soul, funk, pop, and harmony that still echoes everywhere. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackMusicHistory #VinylCommunity 010
Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 08/02/2026That album hasn’t lost an ounce of relevance or urgency. 010
Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 08/02/2026Haven’t spun this one in years. Just added it back into the rotation. Appreciate the reminder! 010
Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Celebrating the sound of resistance, rhythm, and truth. Fela Kuti didn’t just make music, he built a movement. Afrobeat forever! #BlackHistoryMonth #VinylCommunity 050
Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Caught Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country last night and my face is still somewhere on the floor. Deep grooves, fearless jams, and that cosmic-country sweet spot where everything just clicks. Highly recommended if he’s playing near you. #AlwaysGo 051

Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Dropping the needle on history. Jazz, born from Black brilliance, tells stories of joy, pain, experimentation, and freedom in every note. Listening isn’t passive. It’s participation. #BlackHistoryMonth #JazzOnWax #VinylCommunity 070
Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 05/02/2026I only knew El Gran Grupo from their self-titled album, so this reissue of "Sí aquí llegó ya" from El Palmas Music is a real treat. A beautiful slice of 1970s Venezuelan tropical music, thoughtfully brought back for a new wave of listeners and collectors. ¡Bravo! #ElPalmasMusic tinyurl.com/3xh68tye 010
Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 05/02/2026A few minutes to kill turned into a quick stop at my local record store, which, as usual, turned into a record coming home with me. Couldn’t pass up a Labi Siffre record. One of those artists that always rewards a deeper listen. #1709Records #VancouverWA #ShopLocal 050

Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 04/02/2026I agree, and I also think most consumers assume journalists are paid fairly. If people better understood the reality of how precarious and underpaid so much of this work actually is, many of them would care. The disconnect isn’t apathy so much as invisibility. 190
Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 04/02/2026Black music isn’t just sound. It’s history, resistance, joy, and survival pressed into grooves. Black History Month is a reminder that so much of what we listen to, feel, and build starts here. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackMusic #VinylCulture #MusicAsHistory 130
Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 04/02/2026I’ve lived in Washington since 2007. Before that, I ran a small record label out of San Francisco and managed several bands that toured the West Coast, including a heavy run of shows through Olympia. 010
Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 04/02/2026Back-to-back shows this weekend, so I’m pacing myself like it’s an endurance sport. Friday: Daniel Donato & Cosmic Country 🚀🤠 Saturday: Grateful Shred 🌈🎸 131
Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 04/02/2026Another band rooted in Olympia’s independent, political, DIY scene. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard “Whet.” Definitely time to track it down again. 110

Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Black History Month isn’t just about honoring the past. It’s about recognizing what’s unfinished. Progress didn’t stop. The work didn’t end. And the stories are still being written. Grateful for the voices, leaders, artists, and everyday people pushing things forward. #BlackHistoryMonth 040
Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 03/02/2026It was a leadership role at a healthcare software company. I was laid off after 19 years with my previous employer. 120
Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 02/02/2026One of my goals this year is to be more intentional about what I consume, who I listen to, and whose stories I seek out. 130
Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 02/02/2026Didn’t get the role after an 11-week, multi-stage interview process. Disappointing, sure, but also a reminder of how much I learned stepping back into interviews after 33 years. Sharper, more prepared, and moving forward. Onward! 130
Jeff Colley @jvcolley.bsky.social · 02/02/2026There are records on my shelf that changed how I hear the world. Black artists made them. Black history made them possible. Listening differently today. #BlackHistoryMonth 030

After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth. 5154719114179

Backed by his Cuarteto Original, this is classic Cuban son and guaracha; hand percussion, guitars, big smiles, and nonstop groove. Made for dancing, laughing, and turning the room into a fiesta. #VinylCommunity #CubanMusic 🇨🇺 140
