Both from the mid 50’as and in working order. #vintage

Hard to believe it’s been 20 Years since Numero Group released Eccentric Soul: Mighty Mike Lenaburg exploring the funky underside of Pheonix AZ circa 1967-1980. I love that we have creative people out there doing creative things with other groups celebrating it. #funk #soul #numerogroup

some trainspotting from the south side market on Ashland in Chicago. Music: Swearing at Motorists - No More James Dean #trainspotting #swearingatmotorists

One of my favorite things about being in Chicago is standing in line for a really great taco in a Grocery store aisle. I also miss Dunkin Donuts, and Giordano’s Pizza. Forgive the less than glamorous shots but feel the love intended.

Love getting home from a trip to find a record I ordered weeks ago has arrived. Thanks to Bandcamp I was listening to the digital download via Plexamp for my whole trip. This is a lovely refreshing album. #vinyl #swapmeet #winspear #bandcamp #plexamp

Bringing us all a little Saturday whimsy. Spotted in LA. #snoopy

A Snoopy sign lying on his back with Woodstock on his belly is painted on the top edge of a brick building.

The music for today’s flight is the estimable Please Inform the Captain that this is a Hijack!

A relaxing escort through the bumpy skies with a thought spared to all the complexity of living in the modern world while attempting to do as little harm to others as possible.

A silver Sony Network Walkman NW-HD3 with an attached headphone cable is placed on an airplane seat back tray with a cup and a can next to it at top of frame.

Chicago trip is in the books. On the plane in the last row by myself, excited to be back in the PNW. One thing I always try to do is hit up the south side market. We always find something to take home. Plus we always get a chance to see the trains there too. Win/win

A busy Eisenhower expressway in an urban area shows heavy traffic with construction work taking place on the right side, and a Chicago skyline visible in the background.Two stacked shipping containers, one red and one white with the label YANG MING, are placed on flatbed rail cars beside a large puddle of water. Facing north from the south side of chicago south side market is a lot of pop up tents, and vehicles, with various tables and goods directly on the ground in a large open concrete parking lot. This market is 1 part junk sale 1 part stuff that fell off a truck, and 1 part produce and spice stands.

crate digging in chicago’s Out of the Past Records! The team there are amazingly kind and allowed me to get really dirty digging. You can smell this photo btw and you are correct. Finds posted later.

A large collection of cardboard boxes filled with vinyl records is stacked against a wall inside a cluttered room.

20 years ago an awesome SXE band dropped “the Myspace Song”…it still makes me smile.

I know that websites don’t kill but sometimes they will sometimes they will…..break hearts ….internet grass is always greener…

This is a gentle reminder for y’all to STAY POSI The MySpace Song

My son was discussing his 7th grade reading of The Outsiders. I took the opportunity to name today “International NJ Hardcore Day" and introduce him to some Lifetime.

They never get old and may we never age either. #hxc #hardcore #jersey #lifetime #punk #hellobastards

pacing the sun in the ole squareback takes a small amount of faith. But it doesn’t hurt to have the mono blaster singing sweetly with the Twisted Teens - When we first met.

Kohl’s is really going hard with a orange velour skull front and center, but Target is absolutely wil’in out with a whole ass section for female incontinence. (no corresponding male section….f’n patriarchy in action.)

Middle age, middle class, white man evening shopping. I know what you want.

it may not be johnny blaze, but this orange velour skull, sitting defiantly on a white table in a kohl’s entry way surrounded by inoffensive run of the mill suburban mom halloween tat will haunt your dreams.

Surprising to no one I really enjoy Mat over at www.youtube.com/@Techmoan
He has a new video about his personal stereo dropping wide soon. I went out and picked up boombox i had many moons ago as well. A JVC PC-X100. It still sounds amazing and at $20 who can argue?

A JVC stereo system with dual cassette decks and two speakers is placed on a wooden shelf.

Went down to see the Stonehenge replica monument in Maryhill. Samuel Hill, working from the interpretation that the original Stonehenge was used to sacrifice humans to the god of war, thought it a fitting tribute to those killed in WWI. We still seem to be sacrificing to the gods of war.

Having a lovely discussion about music yesterday and was reminded of Killing an Arab and by extension Camus’ The Stranger. Worth a revisit. The only meaning to being human is to be…HUMAN. The rest of the nonsense is window dressing. Be kind and be you.
