Tuesday commute with more RSD picks. The Cult, Weapon of Choice or alternate Choice of Weapon. I actually prefer this version of the record with earlier tougher versions. It’s a great upgrade from my old iTunes files.

This mornings commute is brought to us by For Squirrels. Finally after all these years I got a copy of their first album. Baypath Road originally on CD only and very pricey on Discogs. Now on vinyl for RSD 2026. Happy to have it!

“Did you never call? I waited for your call…”
On this day in 1984, “So. Central Rain (I’m Sorry)” was released as the first single from Reckoning. The video was directed by Howard Libov and filmed at Reflection Studio in Charlotte.
It’s Friday or Record Store Day eve with Athens, GA’s Drive-By Truckers. Keeping with theme this was an RSD release and it’s a good one I enjoy it regularly.

This mornings commute is brought to us by The Hindu Love Gods. I know it’s an Athens thing with an R.E.M. adjacent side band. Basically it’s R.E.M. fronted by Warren Zevon.

This morning commute is brought to us by The Violets, Athens, GA 1988-1992. Picked up at RSD 2020 just based on title alone. It’s a great collection of a really fun sounding band. From Athens, GA how can you go wrong.

Thought some B-52’s were in order this morning. Nothing like Planet Claire in the morning.

Monday morning with another R.E.M. anniversary yesterday. 43 years ago Murmur dropped when I was 14 but I discovered it at 16 and never looked back. It’s still an amazing listen after all these years.

Hey it’s Friday with yesterday’s birthday album. Nashville Skyline turned 57 and is still a little older than me. This record has become one of my favorite Dylan records over the years. Long story there.

"Listen up dude, you don't want to be messing with our Pope," says Italian street cat.
April 8, 1985, photographer Paul Natkin came to Athens for a photo shoot. Paul’s blog has a great account of the day— natkin.net/rem-calls-it...
This morning I was reminded of Leonard Cohen and how it’s been too long since I last spun the great voice. So this morning’s commute is brought to us by I’m Your Man. Such a great record!

This mornings commute is another loud one with the new Melvins with Napalm Death. Savage Imperial Death March on Absurd Aqua vinyl, or in my opinion blue vinyl. Well I have it and that’s a good thing.

Yesterday was the 46th Anniversary of R.E.M.s first show in Athens, GA. As always I’m a day behind. Going with Chronic Town EP this morning. Happy Anniversary R.E.M.

Dinosaur Jr for the Friday commute. Beyond with Lou back in the fold. I was very happy about this record and it’s a great one. Still never miss a Dino Jr show when they hit town.

One of my favorite R.E.M. records had a birthday this week. Fast and short, the album was a great return to form.

A blistering early version of “Living Well Is The Best Revenge” from Dublin 2007–the song would go on to become the opening track on Accelerate, the band’s 14th studio album, released on April 1, 2008 in N America. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4uR...
April Fools Day with The Flamin’ Groovies Now. The all covers record and the only FGs album I have in vinyl. Always dug their version of Paint It Black.

Rest In Peace John Dee Graham. I have several of his solo albums on CD. Thought I would go back to his time in The True Believers and the early Austin scene.

Loud Monday morning with The Godfathers. Their first album Birth, School, Work, Death was a punch in the face the first time I heard it back high school. Wow so long ago now. The band is still going strong.

Finally Friday with the first Van Halen album Van Halen. Sorry couldn’t resist. I was reminded of VH yesterday. Might be a first for the morning commute.

This mornings commute is brought to us by Zuzax , the new Damaged Bug album. John Dwyer’s more electronic side. I have been spinning this non stop, so yea I’m loving it.

Here is one of my oldest records. Got this back in the day and it shows how I treated records back then. My poor needle. It’s still Blondie and still sounds great with a few skips here and there.

It’s Monday morning again. Spilt Milk by Jellyfish with my morning cup of joe for the morning commute.
This record was a pop gem in the middle of the grunge era.

Post from Mike: “One of the ironies about being in R.E.M. is that I could never see my band play. I could never truly know the effect our music had on our fans, or what it might have felt like to see us at any point in our musical journey, especially the early days.” (More in comments)
Finally Friday and apparently will be a warm Friday here in NTX today. Crowded House for the morning commute. I forget I have this and I always enjoy it immensely, it’s a Pop gem.

A chilly Monday morning with The Descendents. Woke with the boys on my mind, must have dreamed about getting coffee with Milo.
Spinning my trusty 2017 reissue with embossed cover.

Friday the 13th with Neil Diamond. How many times have you heard that? Got an invite to see the musical about Mr. Diamond tonight at Fair Park. So here is my favorite of the few records of his I have.
