#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.

#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.

#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.

#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

#MayVinylChallenge Day 25: Weirdest Name
Honeymoon Disease - The Transcendence
Just go look up what the band's name references.

#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

#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 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 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 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.

#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.

#MayVinylChallenge Day 9: I Play This Album When I Went to School
Blind Guardian - Somewhere Far Beyond
I listened to Guardian every morning in the bus to class at UCLA. It was what got me through each day of those years leaving a lot behind at home.
#MayVinylChallenge2024 #vinyl #blindguardian

#MayVinylChallenge Day 8: Favorite Effect
Savage Master - Those Who Hunt at Night
I'm not big in novelty but blood filled Savage Master was a must!

#MayVinylChallenge Day 7: All About the Seven Inch
Show the 7" wrack
There it is. Found these on Amazon. Work well with some additional clamps & plenty of room to grow. Lot of lathes in there too.
#MayVinylChallenge2024 #vinyl #ilovediscogs #discogs #nowplaying #vinyladay

#MayVinylChallenge Day 6: Best vs Worst Album by a Favorite Band
Dio - Holy Diver vs Magica
Holy Diver just hits, produced well, lot of soul, freedom. Magica is over produced, feels flat, tired. Even at its worst, Magica is better than a lot of the mainstream metal of its time
#MayVinylChallenge2024

#MayVinylChallenge Day 5: Great 5th Album by an Artist Rhapsody - Power of the Dragonflame on picture disc.

#MayVinylChallenge Day 5: Great 5th Album by an Artist
Rhapsody - Power of the Dragonflame
So many good tracks on this. "Gargoyles, Angels of Darkness" is an epic like none other.

#MayVinylChallenge Day 4: A Record to Take With You to Outer Space Darkspace - Dark Space II on vinyl.

#MayVinylChallenge Day 4: A Record to Take With You to Outer Space
Darkspace - Dark Space II
Darkspace is an experience that you have to lend yourself to in order to visit the vast void.
