I suspect PSL is going to stay on the menus right into Christmas, given the way the season trends all blur more and more each year. Kind of a shame we don't have harder stops, to make it feel more special/seasonal...

Looking for new record store recommendations in the Bay Area. What's popping?

When is it too late to still order pumpkin space lattes?
As an Australian new to the Pacific Northwest... is there a rule book on these tricky etiquette issues 🧐 #askbluesky #seattle
Thank you for not punishing creatives who wish to share their work. Love you Bluesky <3
Can you guess which city this is? It's overcast, cold, rains a lot, and we drink a lot of coffee... #overcast #ontempi
PS... the film clip is just as bad-good-bad... https://buff.ly/4fCHuZa
Shalamar was on some proper 80s nonsense with these song titles, but this cover is about as bad as it gets. The track however? Well it's bad too, but hilariously so, so check it. #cratedigging in Seattle.
Even back then, this was not it, and now, it's even less it. #cratedigging in Seattle.
I'm all for Christmas albums, but this, this is a hard pass. #cratedigging in Seattle.
Is this the strangest cover for a French flute and piano album? Calm down Jazz people. #cratedigging in #Seattle.
I've got more than a few Kamahls in my collection too 😂
As a half-kiwi I'm always going to give love to New Zealand artists you need to know about. Here's Aldous Harding with a truly lovely track (and a stunning film clip setting).

I bought this 60% for the creepy cover figure, and 40% for the "And French Folk Songs" text. Or maybe vice versa. Either way, it's terrible and great and more than a couple of sneaky samples ending up in the mix... #cratedigging in #Seattle.
Bjork being Bjork is the best thing... "Set to take over Centre Pompidou in Paris, Natural Manifesto hopes to “remind citizens of the raw vitality of endangered creatures”".

Ignoring the weirdly sideways photo (what's up with that Bluesky?), here's the track... youtu.be/p3_RL4Z0-24?...
Ten cents for this Ray Price record? Bargain. Aside from the lovely strings to sample, the namesake song is a beautiful breakup song, and Ray's legacy is an often understated part of country/crooning classic America. As the wonderful cover photo suggests. #samplephonic #sampling #rayprice
Loving these unhinged album covers from the era where putting something, anything, digital in the signal path of otherwise entirely analog bands was something worth marketing. Digital spectacular!!
hello world....
