Chad Hoppe @nerdyguychadly.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Just finished rewatching High Fidelity, and I've been thinking about the Top 5: Track 1, Side 1 conversation, or perhaps you could call it Top 5 Opening tracks. I'd be curious to know what everyone's are. #musicsky #musicchallenge #vinyl #CD 341
Chad Hoppe @nerdyguychadly.bsky.social · 04/07/2026I borrow a lot of video games and CDs from my library, in addition to books. They also borrow out DVD players, laptops, and even passes to use the local bikeshare program. Seriously, libraries are awesome. 010
Chad Hoppe @nerdyguychadly.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Does anybody have information on The Normals? They recorded this album in 1979, but didn’t release it till 2011. It reminds me of the Buzzcocks. #vinyl #punk #LastLaughRecords 010
Chad Hoppe @nerdyguychadly.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Took a little bike ride around my neighborhood and was pleased to find one of the parks has a little paved singletrack, which is awesome for new mountain bikers! #madisonWI #MTB #SycamorePark 062

Chad Hoppe @nerdyguychadly.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Finally picked up a copy of Fat Mike Gets Strung Out, now the question is do I put it with the punk records? or the classical records? #vinyl #punk #stringquintet #nofx #musicsky #B.A.Z. #classical 020

Chad Hoppe @nerdyguychadly.bsky.social · 11/12/2025I am stoked to have this LP! I had 'guilt within your head' on the Home Alive compilation when I was a kid, but I could not find any album, or any information on The Gits because it was the pre/early internet days. I'm so glad their albums are getting rereleased. #vinyl #seattle #subpop #miazapata 010

Chad Hoppe @nerdyguychadly.bsky.social · 08/10/2025Tonight my daughter chose this Dizzy Gillespie record to listen to (over an Erroll Garner record) Discogs has this one as being released in 1968, but looking at the style of the sleeve I would have guessed early 1950’s #vinyl #jazz 050
Chad Hoppe @nerdyguychadly.bsky.social · 05/10/2025Lear’s start the day with this awesome album, I think Mixtapes were one of the most underrated bands. #vinyl #mixtapes #ohio #poppunk 040

Chad Hoppe @nerdyguychadly.bsky.social · 22/05/2025One thing I regret is selling off my CD collection. I was moving every year and had all my music on a laptop, so keeping them seemed foolish at the time. Nowadays, whenever I want to listen to a CD I used to own, I'll see how much it goes for used and I kick myself for ever letting it go. 010
Chad Hoppe @nerdyguychadly.bsky.social · 30/04/2025#AprilSpins an album to start your day (and a new month) A super underrated band, Osker rounds out the month, this one was a 2014 repressing on black vinyl.

Chad Hoppe @nerdyguychadly.bsky.social · 28/04/2025#AprilSpins soundtrack to a movie or TV show Dexter I picked this blood splatter vinyl when I visited the Mall of America about 10 years ago. It has music and dialogue from the first season. #Dexter #vinyl #blood 091

Chad Hoppe @nerdyguychadly.bsky.social · 24/04/2025#AprilSpins Day 24: the prettiest record in my collection I’ve always had a soft spot for this 7 inch, it’s the one I usually show to people when talking about splatter vinyl. #Swellers #Flint #vinyl 090
Chad Hoppe @nerdyguychadly.bsky.social · 23/04/2025#AprilSpins most recent purchase This is the European version of Audio Karate’s 3rd album that I actually found at a record store about 2 hours away from me. The US version is pretty expensive. These recordings are from 2005 or 06 and sat on a laptop for over a decade before they were mixed. 040
Chad Hoppe @nerdyguychadly.bsky.social · 22/04/2025#AprilSpins an album to be enjoyed amongst nature I have this weird record that has the sounds of birds chirping with classical string music in the background, does that count? #vinyl #birds #decca 090

Chad Hoppe @nerdyguychadly.bsky.social · 17/04/2025#AprilSpins guilty pleasure album? I don’t know that I feel guilty about loving anything in my collection, but this may fit the bill for some. This Candy Hearts album is pop-rock/power-pop/pop-punk, but Mariel Loveland is such a great songwriter that anybody listening would love these songs. #vinyl 060
Chad Hoppe @nerdyguychadly.bsky.social · 16/04/2025#AprilSpins a classic black record It doesn’t get much more classic than this. This was my parent’s copy and if you zoom in you can see where one of my brothers drew on the cover with a pen. #vinyl #RubberSoul #Beatles 0120
