Seeing Devo on Sunday (for the first time, surprisingly) and can't wait. Gassing up the tank on "Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA" right now and am flying through their discography while at work. I'll have to spin my copy of Freedom of Choice a few times between now and Sunday.
New MRC! It's been a minute since the last podcast, but I recently spoke to John Boegehold of @psanimals1 to discuss the band's new album, "Grimalkin." Big thanks to John for telling me about the record! #progrock #podcast

Finally getting around to hearing The Boys of Dungeon Lane and it's a lot better than I was expecting. Solid record, Sir Paul! Dude might just make it in this crazy music business.
I was invited to the excellent Records Revisited Podcast (@PodcastRecords) to discuss the Rush classic "2112," which is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Give it a listen!

I've spent many years pondering these song lyrics:
"Honeycomb’s big... yeah, yeah, yeah!
It’s not small... no, no, no!
Honeycomb’s got... a big, big bite,
Big, big crunch in a big, big bite!"

🎵He sat me down to talk to me,
He looked me straight in the eeyyyyeees
He said
"You're no son, you're no son of mine"
"You're no son, you're no son of mine"
"You walked out, you left us behind"
"And you're no son, you're no son of mine"🎵
New MRC Newsletter! I always enjoy revisiting Marillion's "Anoraknophobia" album, but it was great to spin it repeatedly on its recent 25th anniversary. Here are my thoughts on this unique record:

"And they wandered in from the city of Saint John without a dime."
- Steely Dan, The Royal Scam
Great opening line to a song!
While I understand the sentiment, it's important to remember not all stores handle Record Store Day the same. Our best local shop holds raffles for time slots to enter the store, cutting the need to get up stupid early to get in line. 1/?

Spun this little beauty earlier: Porcupine Tree - "We Lost the Skyline" on clear vinyl. A nice little in-store performance captured for a live album. I was at the show, and I bought this at the record store where it was recorded! #RSD2026 #vinylrecords #vinyladdict
