    Another one from my birthday pile; this one from one of ny bandmates, and one that’s a pleasant surprise.

    There’s a few very cool songs on here. Citizen are a kind of #punk -ish #indie #alternative band that have a very late #90s /early #2000s vibe to them, but to my ears, a little more interesting than a lot of THAT music was. I’m trying not to use the “E” word, but that’s only here in very limited pockets.

    It’s grown on me more and more with each of the three spins I’ve given it, and it’s worth posting just for those who like this kind of rock.

    Also, this is TOP NOTCH customer service by Run For Cover Records.

    The vinyl looks and sounds great, packaging is great, & it comes with a double sided poster, CD sampler of the label, & a sheet of stickers. (Pics in comments).

  7. Can't recommend enough, if you're into taking pictures of things, to print them off and give them to people. Seriously, it's awesome.

    If you send somebody a jpeg, you'll get a thumbs up react.

    If you hand them a physical photo they can hold and touch you actually get a real reaction, a real smile, and something they can put in an album or stick to their fridge.

    It's the most special with film prints, but any old jpeg will do. People love physical media, it's that simple!

  11. Physical music media are a dirty business, environmentally speaking - while many, especially in independent underground music making, love them so much (edit: incl. myself at times).

    Discussing this with a friend this morning, as since August 26th a new rule of European authorities meant to decrease the environmental footprint of products requires producers/sellers to make sure in written form, that either the buyer/consumer will take proper care of product and packaging recycling - or a producer must take care of this themselves.
    Obviously this is meant to target hyper markets, like Amazon etc., and it seems useful in the first place.

    However, the procedure is highly buerocratic and ultimately means death to mailorder distribution of small runs of vinyl, CDs and cassettes by individual musicians, bands & small labels.

  12. FRED NEIL
    Everybody's Talkin'
    1971 U.S. reissue
    [orange labels]

    A masterful songwriter, and a dude that had a LOT to do with a young Bob Dylan hitting the stage at Cafe Wha? in Greenwich Village.

    It still shocks me how many people think that “Everybody’s Talkin’” is a Harry Nilsson song, when in fact it was Neil who wrote it.
    That song only became a hit when Nilsson’s version was featured in the 1969 movie Midnight Cowboy.

    SUCH a hit that Neil’s self-titled ‘66 album (THIS ONE), was reissued under the name Everybody’s Talkin’, in order to capitalize on the film’s (and song’s) success.

    The album however is much more than that one song.
    The Dolphins is absolutely beautiful, as is Neil’s take on the traditional tune “Sweet Cocaine”.

    A laid back and stellar 38 minutes.
    Just such a great record.

    Here's why

    1. We should LISTEN to our elders

    2. Many of us GenZ have already put streaming and downloading music and books on the 'hardly ever' list in favour of #vinyl, #CDs, physical #books, #dumb phones , etc

  15. CURTIS MAYFIELD
    Super Fly
    1972 Canada pressing

    More Friday night fire, baby!!
    🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    This album is forever GOATED.

    Funky, badass psychedelic soul music from one of the greatest blaxploitation films ever made.

    Lots of wah-wah guitars, gnarly percussion, funky-as-fuck bass, and Mayfield’s otherworldly falsetto.

    A masterpiece tour-de-force album by one talented, funky motherfucker.

  16. #EPA proposal could leave the public in the dark on #datacenter plans

    By MATTHEW DALY
    Updated 1:37 PM EDT, September 3, 2026

    WASHINGTON (AP) — "A plan by the Environmental Protection Agency could make it harder for the public to learn about and comment on proposed AI data centers that have sparked backlash in communities across the United States and transformed the midterm election landscape.

    "The EPA proposal would eliminate a federal requirement that states notify the public and seek comment before issuing #AirPollution permits for data centers and other #IndustrialFacilities. States could still offer opportunities for public comment, but the EPA would no longer mandate them as a condition for states to grant permits.

    "Critics say the move could thwart local residents from learning about proposed data centers or making their voices heard before projects are approved and construction begins. The move comes during a widespread backlash as #TechGiants build hundreds of massive #ServerWarehouses to fuel #ArtificialIntelligence and #CloudComputing.

    " 'By eliminating the long-standing federal requirement for public notice, this proposal continues efforts by the Trump administration to turn its back on the fundamental EPA principle of transparency,' said Mike Koerber, a former deputy director of EPA’s air quality office.

    "If made final, the plan could create 'an unlevel playing field where citizens in one state are kept completely in the dark about new data centers and heavy industrial emissions in their backyards, while neighboring states maintain oversight,' he said.

    "Under the EPA plan, states with weak or no requirements for #PublicComment could speed permits for data centers, #PowerPlants and other #PollutionSources without consulting the public or even informing communities where the facilities are located, Koerber and other critics said."

  17. JOY DIVISION
    Unknown Pleasures
    2015 U.S. reissue
    Textured Sleeve

    Great art disturbs the comfortable and comforts the disturbed.

    Exhibit A.

    Everything that’s ever been said about this record is true.

    No other words needed.

  18. THE JAM
    BBC Sessions 1977-1979
    2025 Europe pressing
    Blue vinyl

    Another solid-sounding Radio Broadcast pressing, and this one is amongst the Joy Division issue as one of my favorites.

    Three different Peel Sessions from The Jam here; a pair from 1977, and one from ‘79.

    Some savage performances here, particularly “The Modern World”, “Saturday’s Kids” and “Eaton Rifles”.

    Paul Weller, man.
    The absolute dude.

  19. THE REDUCERS
    Let’s Go
    1984 U.S. pressing

    I have a great deal of affection for this record, and I’m always baffled by how so little people know it.

    A high-energy, #punk -y #powerpop record from the #80s , Let’s Go is a hell of a racket.

    These songs are super fun, which is unusual, because The Reducers came from Connecticut, which might be the LEAST fun place on Earth.

    As a New Englander myself, I can assure you that is a fact.

    They should have broken through.
    They were THAT good.
    So good in fact, that they opened for The Ramones, David Johansen, and received a significant amount of airplay on college radio.

    This is their signature album, and the only one I’ll ever need to own. It’s just one of those excellent gems that just seems like a secret between a small group of people.

    So great.

  20. FRANK SINATRA
    In The Wee Small Hours
    2025 Worldwide MONO reissue
    Blue Note Tone Poet Series

    Friday night with Old Blue Eyes.

    These Tone Poet series albums from Blue Note sound otherworldly. I have a few of the Chet Baker ones, and they’re great too.

    When I saw this today, and saw that it was a Mono cut by Kevin Gray, I needed no further convincing.

    I wish everybody put as much care and detail into the sound of their reissues like these.
    Just magnificent sounding.

    Not sure they’d bother giving this same treatment to September Of My Years, but it would certainly make me beyond ecstatic.

  21. It’s that time of year where I have to starting culling down some of my music library; whether it be vinyl, CDs, or anything else.

    Now that this awful summer flu I had seems to be gone, I can start. And everything starts in the basement.

    I’m going to start with the CDs first because believe me, it’s going to be the easiest.

    All of the CDs that were down there have now been brought upstairs, and added to what’s already been up here.

    These represent the NON-boxset discs, and have (with the exception of about 30 CDs) all been alphabetized to make this process easier.

    I notice right away that there are doubles of a few things, as well as some things I no longer have a need to own.

    All the box sets are staying put, so once I’m done with THESE, it’s time for the true nightmare of dealing with the vinyl.

    Younger folks seem to prefer #PhysicalMedia, a trend I understand as a crabby old relic of the last century. The internet gives us access to such wonders, yet can withhold them and inflict a price for them. Our physical media is always at hand when we need its comfort the most.

  23. CYNDI LAUPER
    The Goonies 'R' Good Enough b/w What A Thrill
    1985 Canada 7” pressing

    A killer find from my trip downtown today!

    This song is forever tattooed on my childhood due to its affiliation with one of my all-time favorite movies, The Goonies.
    Every time I hear it, I’m transported right back to that movie theatre where I saw it on opening weekend in Milford, Ma.

    Both the record AND picture sleeve are in immaculate shape, and I’ve never owned one before where BOTH were intact. I either saw the sleeve either no record, or the record in just a shitty plain paper sleeve.

    Pure sentimental #80s joy, man.
    It’s the little things that make you happy.
    And this makes me very happy.
