Jenn was one of the first folks in the vinyl community to follow me on IG & support. Her #MayVinylChallenge has been one of my favorite parts of the year. As a vinyl collector recognize her game for hunting down copies of Master of Reality

#MayVinylChallenge #vinylchallenge
Day 13/ a record from your childhood
Dolly Parton - “Here You Come Again” 7” single
This is one of the first records I remember having, and I played it to death, a-side and b-side!
#MayVinylChallenge #vinylchallenge
Day 9/ 9 records related in some way
Barry Gibb either produced, wrote, or sang on all these

Day 7/ 7” with a better B side than A side
Gotye - Easy Way Out/ Dig Your Own Hole

Day 4 of #mayvinylchallenge is: WEIRD OR FUNNY ALBUM COVER DESIGN.
His 3rd self titled album, this side of the Atlantic seemed to call it Peter Gabriel 3 but across the pond they called it Melt. The effect was achieved by talking Polaroids and then pouring various chemicals on to them…
Ok #vinyl lovers. Over on IG a lot of folks are participating in the #mayvinylchallenge. Myself included! Head over to see some amazing posts and maybe find new music! www.instagram.com/p/DJMoIYxJa4...
Haven't tried uploading video on here yet, so thought I'd bring this one over.
Did this for the #MayVinylChallenge 2024, showing off my record player, amp, speakers & vinyl collection. Have not done much in the last few months to it, so this is pretty accurate.
Enjoy the Uncle Acid.
#MayVinylChallenge Day 31: Halfway to Halloween
Elvira Mistress of the Dark - Two Big Pumpkins
Can't think of a better Halloween anthem. Another May Vinyl Challenge in the books.
#MayVinylChallenge2024 #vinyl #elvira #halloween
#MayVinylChallenge Day 30: Favorite of 2024 So Far
Attic - Return of the Witchfinder
With releases this year from Lucifer & Uncle Acid, competition is stiff. But Attic raised the bar so high on this one. Front to back excellence with one of the best vocal performances & enthralling guitars.
#MayVinylChallenge Day 29: Album Bought for the Artwork
Moondog - S/T
Moondog's look is to be aspired to & his jams are unmatched.

#MayVinylChallenge Day 28: New Old Discovery
Roky Erickson
Sad to say I got into Roky after his passing. Really inspiring music with lyrics that express a deep reality.
#MayVinylChallenge2024 #vinyl #rokyerickson #rock #ilovediscogs #discogs #nowplaying #vinyladay #truevinylcollection #vinylgram
#MayVinylChallenge Day 27: Sleeveface
Various - May the Circle Remaim Unbroken: A Tribute to Roky Erickson
Never done one of these before but can think of none more better to pay tribute to than the Evil One.
#MayVinylChallenge2024 #vinyl #rokyerickson #ilovediscogs #discogs #nowplaying #vinyladay
#MayVinylChallenge Day 26: Attack of the Clones
None.
I actively try not to have more than one copy of anything. With 3900 items in my collection, I have to be smart about space
#MayVinylChallenge2024 #vinyl #ilovediscogs #discogs #nowplaying #vinyladay
#MayVinylChallenge Day 25: Weirdest Name
Honeymoon Disease - The Transcendence
Just go look up what the band's name references.
#MayVinylChallenge2024 #vinyl #honeymoondisease #psychrock #ilovediscogs #discogs #nowplaying #vinyladay #truevinylcollection #vinylgram #vinylrecords #vinyljunkie
#MayVinylChallenge Day 24: A Bootleg
Samhain - Samhain III: November-Coming-Fire
As with most my Danzig acquired prior to 2022, it's a bootleg! Glad the back catalog is getting repressed slowly but a lot is couldn't wait
#MayVinylChallenge2024 #vinyl #samhain #rock #ilovediscogs #discogs #nowplaying
#MayVinylChallenge Day 23: Albums that Represent 2 Sides of Your Personality
Current 93 - Thunder Perfect Mind
Rhapsody - Symphony of Enchanted Lands II: The Dark Secret
Two bands I've obsessed over & get completely enthralled by with hugely different objectives & means.
#MayVinylChallenge2024
#MayVinylChallenge Day 22: Recent Purchase
Technically my most recent purchases haven't even shipped yet but this the first stop for my records. Left is to be listened to, right is to be shelved. Also these little racks are pretty cool.
#MayVinylChallenge2024 #vinyl #ilovediscogs #discogs
#MayVinylChallenge Day 21: Show Me Your Obi
The Wizar'd - Pathways Into Darkness
Yeah, obis look cool, but often they can get in the way with no clear purpose (worst is when they advertise other releases). Had a few that barely fit & nearly ripped.
#MayVinylChallenge2024 #vinyl #wizard #doommetal
#MayVinylChallenge Day 20: Best Genre Crossover Album
Chelsea Wolfe - Abyss
While we knew Wolfe as a singer/song writer, her work had always gone into some electronic means, including incorporating industrial elements. But Abyss brought this heavy doom metal vibe at the right moment.
#MayVinylChallenge Day 19: Soundtrack Sunday
Show off Soundtrack Collection
Love good soundtracks & with so many companies putting out back catalogs it can be hard to keep up on. But film, TV, or video game it all goes in here
#MayVinylChallenge2024 #vinyl #soundtrack #ost #ilovediscogs #discogs
#MayVinylChallenge Day 18: Packaging Wild Card
Dark Castle - Presence
Entire discography of Dark Castle in a wood box. Wrap around ribbon pulls the records out. Box & sleeves are hand screen printed.
#MayVinylChallenge2024 #vinyl #darkcastle #doommetal #ilovediscogs #discogs
#MayVinylChallenge Day 17: Celebrate the Maker
Chimney Rocks! Records
Purveyors of lathe cut dungeon synth, I adore the releases that Chimney Rocks! puts out. Hearing lo-fi music on lo-fi individual pieces of plexi often with art glued to them is just fun.
#MayVinylChallenge2024 #chimneyrocksrecords
#MayVinylChallenge Day 16: Sweet 16 - Early Influences From Formative Years
Siouxsie & The Banshees - Superstition
I remember being utterly enchanted with "Kiss Them For Me" as a child. Just something really different than the broad pop music I was hearing on the radio. Always kind of stuck.
#MayVinylChallenge Day 15: Halfway - Show Us Your Set Up/Collection
Okay here is my pride & joy. Love how full the sound vinyl is coming off this system. And the collection has really come together.

#MayVinylChallenge Day 14: Random Pull
Heart - Alone
Did the Discogs shake & got this banger. One of Ann's best vocal performances.

#MayVinylChallenge Day 13: Favorite Side Project
The Glove - Blue Sunshine
Take the 83 line-up of the Banshees, then subtract The Creatures & you get The Glove. Never ceases to amaze me the number of Cure fans that are unaware of this project.
#MayVinylChallenge2024 #vinyl #theglove
#MayVinylChallenge Day 12: Passed Down
Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A-Changin'
Another record I seem to post every year. Original mono pressing in amazing shape. My dad's college buddy, Frank, gave him this. My dad listened to it & thought it was a bunch of hippie crap but held onto it.
#MayVinylChallenge Day 11: Best Sounding
Run the Jewels - S/T
Honestly whoever mastered this for vinyl deserves all the props. Deep bass just oozes off this. Use it to show off my system.
#MayVinylChallenge2024 #vinyl #runthejewels #hiphop #ilovediscogs #discogs #nowplaying #vinyladay
#MayVinylChallenge Day 10: On Repeat - 10/10 Perfect Record
The Sisters of Mercy - First and Last and Always
Front to back, the best. "Nine While Nine" holds a very special place for me.
