Okay I ordered nine records (and I'm bitter that I forgot about a tenth). This is ridiculous, but I am a little stitious and don't want to jinx anything or risk a universe-hates-me cancellation. I'll post pics when they arrive. It's all old man rock - "youngest" band's first album came out in 2003.
That's awesome!
Before you fork over triple cost on Discogs, check out the RSD marketplace. The point of #RSD is to support independent stores, not scalping assholes.

No lines and (most importantly) no scalper prices: these three stores had everything I was looking for. My RSD took 5 minutes on a Sunday morning, and they have my thanks (and money).
Darkside Records (Poughkeepsie)
Plaid Room Records (Loveland)
Welcome Back Records (Fort Wayne)

Annual reminder that FOMO is your enemy. There are plenty of records to go around. Do NOT pay scalper prices. Check out the RSD website on Sunday morning. If you still can't find what you're looking for, wait a week. Discogs will be flooded by disappointed flippers.

Just revisited "Goodbye Earl" by The Chicks.
I gotta tell ya - Mary Anne was a real one.
No. MANIA is their worst record by far, but they rebounded. Their latest album - So Much (for) Stardust - is really good...top three in their catalog (up there with FUCT and Folie A Deux). Plus, they are still packing amphitheatres and arenas.
Hello Todd - sir...
On behalf of your autistic followers, I would like to request in the most polite and least online way possible that you please consider left justifying those top three song titles. Thank you very much. I enjoy all your work.
Agreed!

If only John had been paying attention when he signed that.
Here is my current catalog, which also includes a small collection of CDs.

Play order: So far it's been feel. Moving forward, I might do all the Greatest Hits collections, then go into my different genre categories, then artist discographies, then box sets...but that's all subject to however I feel on a particular day.
As of this moment, Discogs tells me that I have:
7" singles (6)
Audiophile/Mofi/DSS (28)
Box sets (29 - this will take some time)
Compilations (29)
Country (37)
Hip Hop (32)
IVC (27, and a new one each month)
Rock & Pop (451)
Soundtracks (35)
So...currently about 675 units
lol
Thinking about instituting a "play it, then sell it" policy
Bruce, Cars, FOB, Marshall Crenshaw, Paramore, Petty, Violent Femmes, and Weezer!
Thank you. You're probably right, but I figure I will have more fun failing at this than doing most anything else.
It would be a whole lot of posts - spam, basically. I feel like Instagram is a better outlet for what I want to do.
2026 is the year that I stop collecting and start listening. My goal is to get through all of my records at least once.

I would love to see you do some sort of video series where you take the viewer through your process of evaluating and pricing your offers. You would be giving up a lot of your proprietary knowledge and experience, but it would be fascinating. Maybe a Patreon. I'd subscribe.

Great. Now I'm going to be up all night reading all of your reviews. 😄🤘
So far it sounds very good. It's been a long week, and I needed some comfort music. Asia may not get much love, but this album is so strong.

Some of the records in the new Smartpunk Record Club box, including albums from Patrick Stump, Gully Boys, Jack's Mannequin, and Cobra Starship.
A melancholy day for this old pop-punker - the final quarterly @smartpunk.bsky.social record club box arrived. Hopefully it's not the last one ever. So far they aren't offering a 2026 subscription - but it's not too late to change your minds!
