Also arriving today, the practically instant classic from @turnstileluvconnection. Already a huge front runner for my favorite album of the year and the kind of band that makes me remember what it’s like to fall head over heels for a record. #vinyl

Good mail day today, first up is @yelyahwilliams’ ‘Flowers for Vases’ which continues to get plays from me on a regular basis. Can’t wait for fall to hit because I’m sure this will slide very nicely into the colder weather.

Variant: Smoky Pink

Ten years. It’s been ten years since this @thehorriblecrowes release and it’s still one of my all time favorite @thebrianfallon works. They announced an anniversary pressing, but I’ve always loved this red variant. (Last photo: the black variant I also have, and the live version.) #vinyl

This week’s newsletter is not allowed to review the new album from Thrice, so instead, I hint at first impressions. I also talk a little about my rediscovering my enjoyment of Last.fm stats, more love for Turnstile, and some other thoughts on music I listened to this week. And, of course, there’s some commentary on the entertainment I consumed and a playlist of ten songs I enjoyed. This week’s supporter Q&A post can be found here.

Happy 20th to one of my absolute favorite albums of all time. It’s been a long week and I’m going to throw this on and turn it up. If this can’t make me feel better, nothing can. #vinyl #jimmyeatworld
