The reorganization is getting close to done, and I finally have more room for my c̶o̶m̶p̶u̶l̶s̶i̶o̶n̶ collection. This is a nice little section here — from Gaslight to Jimmy Eat World to The Matches. Not a bad run at all. #vinyl

Tonight’s walk back through time is with Something Corporate’s ‘North’ – I loved the part of @amnthewilderness’s memoir going behind the scenes of this record because I have incredibly detailed memories of the build up and release of it. These days I think I’d make the argument it’s almost underrated. This one came out toward the end of college for me and the last few songs on the record felt like they were ushering me out into the real world. #vinyl #somethingcorporate
Moving backward now and we’re into the Jack’s Mannequin era. ‘Everything in Transit’ remains one of my favorite albums … ever … but the other two hold up remarkably well. I have many memories of riding the Max to the airport when @drhannahtate and I first started dating to go see her in Arizona with ‘People and Things’ in my headphones. #vinyl #andrewmcmahon #jacksmannequin
Continuing my @amnthewilderness dive and waking backwards (the Zombie album is already in my feed somewhere), here’s tonight’s little gem. #vinyl #andrewmcmahon
I ran out of room to store records so I’ve been having to move some stuff around and reorganize. Figured while I did that I might as well post some favorites. And, since I recently finished @amnthewilderness’s book, I’ve been on a huge catalog kick of his history lately. Starting with the most recent release … this one has continued to grow on me. At first I felt the vocal effect didn’t quite work in places, but the underlying songs are so damn good it’s won me over. #vinyl #andrewmcmahon #andrewmcmahoninthewilderness
2021 has come to an end, so, like always, I recapped my favorite music, movies, tv shows, and more over on the old blog. Link in stories or you’ll find it pretty easily at chorus.fm
My dad helping me complete the whole Blink-182 collection, and Hannah helping me add to my Thrice one.* And I’m officially very much out of space to store records. Which is probably a problem given I just ordered more with Xmas gift cards. 😬 #vinyl #thrice #blink182
She picked the Thrice record from my list specifically because of the joke/bit from the Always Sunny podcast talking about the band and their stickers. Which continues to crack me up.
Liner Notes (December 24th, 2021)
Happy Christmas Eve!
With tomorrow being a holiday, I figured I’d try and write up my newsletter a little earlier to make sure something got written up. It was a slower music week, but there are some thoughts on new stuff (Half Past Two, Hot Mulligan) as well as some revisited classics (The Ataris), and a run-through of my quest for decent masks, automating changing macOS icons, and commentary on other entertainment I consumed over the past week.

Merry Christmas to me. Apparently I’m going full @drewberinger and making my feed only records and shoes. (These reminded me so much Miles Morales that I had to grab them.)
Liner Notes (December 18th, 2021)
It was a relatively slow music week for the industry and in my life last week, but I did watch a bunch of holiday films and start working on my end-of-the-year list. As always, there’s a playlist of ten songs I enjoyed last week, and this week’s supporter Q&A post can be found here.

This week has a lot of thoughts about Underoath’s new album and then a walk through other music I enjoyed this week (American Football, Neon Trees, Faye Webster) before looking at some other media I consumed and sharing a playlist of ten songs I loved.

This week’s newsletter has me revisiting some polar opposite discographies (Strung Out, Simple Plan) as well as looking at some new music I enjoyed this week (Hippo Campus, The Options, Hastings). And, as always, I look at some entertainment I’ve been consuming and share a playlist of ten songs I liked last week. This week’s supporter Q&A post can be found here.

A few weeks ago I started working on a new weekend project. I wanted to build a mini-computer that could sit on my desk and display what I was currently listening to. A simple idea. After completing it, I figured I should write up the entire process, because if I don’t blog about it … did it really happen? (Link in stories or at chorus.fm)
Liner Notes (November 27th, 2021)
This week’s newsletter looks at the upcoming holiday season and some of the music I find myself throwing on during this time of year. This week, it was a relatively slow music week, but that led me to return to some music I haven’t spun in a while (Mutemath, Academy Is…, Butch Walker). Also, if anyone has some favorite holiday tunes/albums they’d like to recommend, please toss those my way. As always, there’s a playlist of ten songs I enjoyed, and this week’s supporter Q&A post can be found here.
