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.
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.)
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)
I was in a bit of a funk last weekend and an extra glass of wine led to some damn fine retail therapy. One of my all time favorites that I was stupid and missed out on when it was re-pressed. Mood elevated just a tad. #vinyl #theformat
Two years. Two years ago we made our vows amongst friends and family and my entire life changed. Then, within months, the entire world changed. We navigated the first years of marriage amongst a global pandemic, and if we can find a way through this, I believe we can conquer everything. Now coming up on ten years together, I still see you with the same eyes as the day we met. Today I promise again, just like that day two years ago to choose you. Every day. For the rest of my life.
Let’s count the days
Til winter comes our way
We’re all tired and ready to breathe
And there’s a rumor that there’s
A bitter cold chill in the air
It’s haunting every breath we take
The hint of alcohol and nicotine
It keeps us warm inside
So all your fashion sense aware
The sweaters unfold themselves

Went on a big @mychemicalromance kick last week and this is still an all timer for me. Plus, one of the cooler music Funkos out there.
#mychemicalromance #vinyl #funko
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
#vinyl #hayleywilliams
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
