Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Blood, Sweat & Tears (1968) s/t

Motivated by the #500songs Patreon episode on Blood, Sweat & Tears, I’m spinning this one to start my day. @500songspodcast.bsky.social Notwithstanding whatever BS happened in the band, this is a record with some great tunes. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

I really enjoyed it this morning on my way to work! Glad that you expanded the episode! I’m adding Colin Blunstone’s debut solo album to my #johnsvinyl wantlist. #500songs @500songspodcast.bsky.social

As of yesterday, I have listened to all of the regular episodes of #500songs @500songspodcast.bsky.social starting from ep. 1 in mid-October. I’ve also listened to many Patreon episodes, but I’m now listening to them all in reverse chronological order Thanks Andrew! @andrewhickey.500songs.com

It was meant to be. Earlier today, I was actually listening to the awesome Jimmy Cliff episode on #500songs @500songspodcast.bsky.social when I visited a record shop (Vinyl Stop) I had just learned about in Grinnell Iowa. This record was on the wall. Now it’s at home in #johnsvinyl and #nowplaying

I’m continuing to listen to my #johnsvinyl qualifiers for #5debutalbums50s60s for the next few days—I have a few from ‘67 & bunches from each of ‘68 & ‘69. Starting here because I just finished listening to the as-always excellent #500songs episode @500songspodcast.bsky.social on Janis. #nowplaying

Just finished another excellent—and in this case, very moving—episode from the #500songs podcast. Andrew Hickey’s gentle telling of Barrett’s story was both informative and touching. @500songspodcast.bsky.social

Started yesterday and finished today. An absolutely epic episode of the amazing #500songs podcast! @500songspodcast.bsky.social. #Beatles

This all because of my listening to the #500songs podcast. There are at least four semi-district periods covered ‘50-‘64. And I don’t have any doo-wop.

I’ve been so good with not looking forward while I catch up. I’m on episode 124 today. Maybe I’ll break my rule for this one and skip ahead. RIP Bob Weir. #500songs

Unearthed this one from a pile with no outer sleeves in #johnsvinyl. Turns out to be a decent surf/drag record that cleaned up pretty nicely on the #humminguru Cover image from Discogs @discogsofficial.bsky.social #500songs #nowplaying

Commemorating another birthday today. #Elvis would be 90 if still alive, but he didn’t even make it halfway there. My appreciation for Elvis has increased after learning more about him on the #500songs podcast. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

My first (of many, I hope) #WandaJackson record in #johnsvinyl. This is a 1969 recording with more country than rockabilly, it’s super fun! #500songs #nowplaying.

Ameliorating a hole in #johnsvinyl with some Jackie Wilson. It’s a 1961 release, so I’ll have to also grab some of his earlier stuff too. #500songs #nowplaying
