Louder, for those in back:

Peeling Flesh - The G Code
It's easily my 2024 album of the year. I saw them live last week and now picked up the vinyl. 🔥

NICE!

Last night, the AFU struck a Russian warehouse in the #Selydove sector or #Donetsk that was full of TOS-1A "Solntsepyok" thermobaric rockets.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Defeated Sanity - Chronicles of Lunacy (2024)
One of the best death metal releases last year. Brutal, frenetic, jazzy, rugged, technical. It's a marvelous album.

The proportions are all wrong. He's much fatter than that, and the necktie length is far too short. Even the stance is wrong. He got this stencil from a copying a cheesy fashion ad.

Putridity - Ignominious Atonement (2015)
It's frenetic af. I've loved this brutal death metal album for years. Stoked to get my hands on a physical copy (2023 RE). Not just for the blistering music but to get a closer view of the album art.

Tricky - Angels With Dirty Faces (1998)
2x LP ltd numbered 1st year pressing. One of my fave trip hop albums. Thrilled to have snagged a vinyl copy!

Insect Warfare - World Extermination (2007)
My son gifted me this for Yule. Purified, pharmaceutical grade grindcore, and imo, one of the greatest albums ever made. #insectwarfare #grindcore #vinyl #records #vinylrecords

Batman Returns is my favorite Christmas movie!

Grateful the Soltice gently slipped past in the wee hours. I welcome the lengthening of days.
#wintersoltice2024

Batman Returns (1992) is my favorite Christmas movie of them all, and I watch it almost every Christmas season.

Tomb Mold - The Enduring Spirit (2023)
It's as heavy as it is adventurous. Lots of meat on its bones with equal degrees of finesse.

Plus, no longer subsidizing the behemoth pod bro is a huge weight off my shoulders. I'll be open to switching to Tidal at some point, but for now, being rid of Spotify feels ssssoooo good!

To do:
Cancel Spotify Family Plan ✅️

I went with Apple Music. Omfg, the audio quality is ssssoooo much better! I've been a heavy Spotify user at 95k minutes per year -- music is oxygen to me. Spotify has not sat well with me for a while now, but the abysmal AI Wrapped was the last straw.

Pig Destroyer - Terrifyer (2004)
2023 Relapse Records repress.
One of the finest grindcore albums ever made. #grindcore #pigdestroyer #terrifyer #extrememetal #vinyl #records #vinylrecords

Drop Nineteens - Delware (1992)
Essential shoegaze. Not quite the name recognition as MBV and Slowdive, but equally formative. Exquisite album (and the cover photo goes hard!) 180g 2024 repress. #vinyl #shoegaze #records #vinylrecords #dropnineteens

Conquering Dystopia (2014) Amber w/ black splatter 2022 repress. One of my favorite instrumental tech death albums - it doesn't get bogged down trying to be too prog-y. Imo, this is some of Cannibal Corpse bassist Alex Webster's best work. #techdeath #technicaldeathmetal #records #vinyl #deathmetal

Omg, they were the NICEST guys!! Super friendly and thoughtful. They kept my record at their merch booth until the end of the show. Here's my son with the singer after a very sweaty gig. Lineup: Organectomy, Extermination Dismemberment, Devourement (w/ original drummer 😲), & Ingested. Banger show!🔥

Organectomy - Existential Disconnect (2019) 2x gatefold LP signed by the whole band at a show in 2023. New Zealand's greatest export and a perfect example of a brutal death metal album that leans into slam in just the right places. #brutaldeathmetal #slamdeathmetal #vinyl #vinylrecords #deathmetal

Nile - Annihilation of the Wicked (2005)
Relapse Records repress (2023)
Three-sided pressing with etching.
Short-listed as my FAVORITE metal album - any subgenre, any decade. An absolute masterpiece. Riffy brutal death metal, and George Kollias' drumming is monstrous. #brutaldeathmetal #nile #vinyl

This article is from 14 Nov. Why is it being reposted? How about keeping Bluesky's feed CURRENT? It's a great story, but if I want to see old news reposted over and over and over, I'll head back to the moribund FB.

Sidewalks and Skeletons - White Light (2015). I sprung for both variants of the 2024 Vertigo Vinyl repress of this Witch House classic. #witchhouse #vinylrecords #vinyl #records #sidewalksandskeletons #recordcollection

Instagram parody meme. Young woman showing off her father's record collection, but album cover has been Photoshopped with the logo for the black metal band, Mayhem.

That time my son gifted me the Cryptopsy record None So Vile. 🔥 (proud parenting) 😊 #vinyl ##vinylrecords #techdeath #cryptopsy #deathmetal #technicaldeathmetal

Mandy film soundtrack on red vinyl.

Mandy OST by Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson. One my FAVE horror movies. It's brutal & drug fueled in all its vivid & saturated glory, but it's also a very dreamy and touching love story. #vinylrecords #horror #horrorsoundtrack #mandymovie #horrorfilm #vinyl

Vinyl record of Poopy, I Disagree from 2020. Cover art is a black and white image of a blonde girl's face with a spiked choker and black splatter makeup. Record is clear with red splatter.

Poppy - I Disagree (2020). Absolutely one of the albums that helped me get through the early pandemic months. It's fun, quirky, and hard in just the right places. Her soft (often deadpan) delivery is perfect for her surprisingly bleak lyrics. #vinyl #recordcollection #poppy #IDisagree #vinylrecords

Inception - Hans Zimmer
Mandy - Johann Johannsson
Batman Returns - Danny Elfman
