New York Groove.
What's a song you fell in love with, not because of the original, but the cover version?

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.

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'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!"

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: michaelsrecordcollection.sub…

Genesis is 31 spots too low and no RUSH?!?! FOH, Rolling STone.
Holy Hell. Rolling Stone's top 50 rock bands of all time. Ok, X, do your thing..... The only thing on this list I agree with is the Beatles.

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/? ultimateclassicrock.com/reco…

2/2 - What I experience at RSD is a community coming together and celebrating something we all love while supporting our local store. They have a vendor area in front each year where you can get swag, buy drinks, hang out & discuss your purchases with others. It's a great event.

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
