Deep Purple - In Rock
Along with Made in Japan, this album was a big part of my elementary school musical development - it is easily their best in my view (despite the awful cover art). I miss the extra minute of guitar noise at the beginning of the green vinyl version I had as a kid, but a fun listen nonetheless #vinyl @vinylrecords #rock #ClassicRock #HeavyMetal

FLIPPER
Get Away / The Old Lady That Swallowed The Fly
1982 U.S. 7” single
[at both 33 & 45 rpm]
DUUUUUUDDDE!!!!!
Fuck yeah!!!!
Long live Flipper!!!
My local shop has TENS OF THOUSANDS of 7 inch singles of ALL kinds.
So, on slow days like today when I have nothing but time, I like to go down there and just… dig.
Today, I found THIS killer Flipper single (their fourth ever), which was released on Subterranean.
Only 11,000 in total were made, of which 8,000 of those were green. So this is one of those cases where the black vinyl version is more rare.
Flipper were, are, and will forever be THE SHIT.
They’re one of those many bands that I discovered through reading and hearing Kurt Cobain talk about them in interviews. He was a big fan, and it didn’t take me long to love them either.
Really great single here which, oddly, plays at 45 on the A side, and 33 on the flip.

HUSKER DU
Everything Falls Apart
2017 U.S. reissue
[Savage Young Du box set version]
This is where my love for my hero Bob Mould and Husker Du began. As a kid, I blind bought the Everything Falls Apart And More cd (the expanded one with the blue cover), because the older brother of a friend of mine told me they were essential listening.
I think I ended up buying something like 6 copies of it over time, due to either wear, people stealing it, etc.
The title track, Gravity, Target, the Sunshine Superman cover.
Those four songs would inform the rest of my music-going life; not just as a listener, but as a musician & songwriter myself.
Without hyperbole, Bob Mould gave me a purpose in life. Flash forward past the Husker albums, his solo records, Sugar… & here I stand.
I’m not who I am without Bob.
Not possible without him.
I hope I get to tell him one day.

Dag Nasty “Dag with Shawn” (Dischord, 2011)
This is the original lineup of Dag Nasty featuring Shawn Brown of Swiz on vocals. It was recorded in 1985 but never officially released until 2011. Around this same time, Dischord also put out previously unreleased recordings by Void and Artificial Peace. I feel like vinyl reissue madness was hitting its peak at this time and hasn’t slowed down since.
Brown’s lyrics are both introspective and confrontational, and the music is a triumphant, melodic style of hardcore that creates a bridge to what ppl call emo today.
A killer stack of 7” singles from today’s deep dig downtown.
Armed to the teeth for an afternoon of New Year’s Day spins on Thursday!

NAKED RAYGUN
Jettison
2025 U.S. Remastered Reissue
Grape Crush vinyl
THIS was my favorite gift from all the Christmas vinyl I received this year.
I friggin love Naked Raygun SO MUCH. I came to them REALLY late in life. It took me until the late 90s to discover just how awesome they were, starting with JETTISON.
This pressing sounds INFINITELY better than previous ones; way punchier, and way more dynamic than the awful 2022 version.
One of the great underrated bands ever.
This was one of two Naked Raygun albums I was given for Christmas. I was also given All Rise, both by the same very good friend.
I love all of their records, but Jettison is my favorite. It’s where my love affair with them started, and the one I revisit the most.
Now that I have a great sounding vinyl version of it, I’ll be cranking it even more.

TEMPLE OF THE DOG
Temple Of The Dog
2016 U.S. 2xLP reissue
ETCHED
I’ve been wanting to listen to this great album again, as it’s been quite a while since I’ve listened to it front-to-back.
One of the two most recognizable #90s supergroup albums (along with Mad Season), and I find that depending on whose vocals you were more a fan of, Chris or Layne’s, THAT was the album you liked better.
Personally, I hold both Layne and Chris in the same regard. I loved and admired both of their otherworldly gifts equally, but musically, I’ve always leaned more towards the Temple record.
It’s got a different kind of magic and soul for me that the Mad Season album lacks, & these songs feature some of Chris’ most powerful vocal performances.
Love that beautiful etching of Side 4, too.
Goddamn it, do I miss Chris.
It still makes me so sad sometimes.
