Buff GlenN Danzig on the back album cover. You know you wanted it

But, fefore I go, thank you for the hang. Thank you to Shilling, von Trapp, and Stone Leaf.

Danzig rules!

The Dirtbombs, Ultraglide in Black, black vinyl

The White Stripes may have gotten the headlines, but it was bands like the Detroit Cobras and The Dirtbombs who made Detroit garage rock a thing. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Now for the Uninhibited broad-minded swinging set!! The Detroit Cobras, Mink Rat or Rabbit, black vinyl

Rachel Nagy was a Rock 'N' Roll animal of another kind. She was the girl from the wrong side of the tracks done good. She brought grit and sexiness to the male dominated world of garage rock revivalism. She put on a helluva show with the Detroit Cobras.

Lou Reed, Rock 'N' Roll Animal, black vinyl

This is the live Lou Reed album you want. It's got the classic rock radio of version of "Sweet Jane," complete with the extended guitar solo in the intro. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Ty Segall, Goodbye Bread, black vinyl

This is an album by West Coast garage rocker, Ty Segall. It has a very good dog on its cover. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Mission of Burma, Vs, vintage copy, black vinyl on Ace of Hearts Records

Let's do one more!

Thank you to tonight's sponsors: Zero Gravity and Stone Leaf. Thank you for the hang.

New England heads, this one is for you.

Later dudes!

#topjamsky #vinylsky

Joy Division, Unknown Pleasures, heavy weight black vinyl

The Brooklyn indie kids of the '00s loved this album. They had good taste. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Elvis Costello and the Attractions, Armed Forces, vintage copy on black vinyl

"And I would rather be anywhere else than here today."

Same, Elvis. Same.

#topjamsky #vinylsky

Thee Headcoatees, Punk Girls, black vinyl

Though The Headcoatees' Punk Girls is best known for its cover of Plastic Bertrand's punk classic, "Ca Plane Pour Moi," (trust me, you'll know it when you hear it), the record also has a killer cover of "Teenage Kicks" by The Undertones amongst other gems. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Heartbreakers, L.A.M.F., vintage copy on black vinyl

I really oughtta do more punk rock 'n' roll nights. Every time I walk to the stacks for one record I come back with four I gotta rock tonight. Next up, the Heartbreakers. #topjamsky #vinylsky

The Cramps, De Lux Album, green vinyl

The world is pushing me to old punk rock records. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Ramones, End of the Century, black vinyl, price sicker reads $12. Mint. Indeed, this is a mint record.

Welcome to another Top Jam Saturday Night. I've got a nice and cold Cone Head beer from Zero Gravity, a big fire in the wood-burning stove, and a rock 'n' roll record from The Ramones on the turntable. Hey ho, let's fucking go. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Massive Attack, Mezzanine, 2xLP, black vinyl

Not where I thought the night was heading, but where I found myself needing to be. Listen to Mezzanine. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Neil Young, Unplugged, 2xLP, black vinyl

Weld (1991) and Unplugged (1993) were pivotal recordings in the history of my Neil Young fandom. I was a stupid college kid when Young's Unplugged first aired on MTV. I knew the Godfather of Grunge mainly from classic rock radio at the gym. Now, I began to understand the legend. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Earth, Angels of Darkness Demons of Light 2, 2xLP, clear blue vinyl

Meditative guitar drones from Seattle heavyweight Dylan Carson, mellow cello from Lori Goldston, who played on Nirvana's legendary Unplugged in New York session #topjamsky #vinylsky

Now for a fun set of records: Life Moves Pretty Fast. The John Hughes Mixtapes, is a massive 6LP set of tracks featured in John Hughes movies, but instead of being sequenced by movie, they are presented in a series of 6 mix tapes. All your favorites are here. #topjamsky #vinylsjy

Deutsche Elektronische Musik 4, 3xLP, black vinyl on Soul Jazz Records

If you need me, I'll be here, exploring the human mind with my fellow travelers, Can, Roedelius, and Harmonia for 3 LPs. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Fugazi, Repeater, black vinyl

Again, with the punk got me into dub and reggae angle.

Fugazi's dub influences weren't as obvious as The Clash's, but listen closely to that rhythm section, it's all variations on a theme, a theme pioneered by Jamaican dub. #topjamsky #vinylsky

The Constantines, Shine a Light, black vinyl

During their way too brief career in the '00s, Guelph, Ontario's The Constantines garnered comparisons to artists like The Clash and Springsteen for both their working class ethos and their devotion to rocking the fuck out. #topjamsky #vinylsky

The Clash, Black Market Clash, black vinyl

I came to dub and reggae via The Clash, and tracks like "Bankrobber" and "Armagideon Time." The battles are the same. The struggle is the same. And when Mikey Dread teamed up with The Clash, the thump from the boom box was the same. Essential. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Prince Jazzbo, Ital Corner, peach-burgundy vinyl, produced and engineered by Lee Perry and the Upsetters

A good dub record on vinyl and a good strain of cannabis smoked from a bowl is like a timeline cleanse, but for the real world. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Agustus Pablo presents Ital Dub, mixed by King Tubby (Dub Master) black vinyl, weed and weed smoke on the cover

Another recent pick up from my Xmas gift card dub spree at Turntable Lab. This one appears to be about weed. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, Live from Mars, 4xLP, black vinyl

We're going to be hangin' out with Ben Harper tonight. The vinyl version of Live from Mars takes up 4 LPs. I'll pick out some of the highlights as we make our way through this 2001 extended set. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Nothing, Guilty of Everhything, white vinyl

Thank you to tonight's sponsors: Stone Leaf, von Trapp, and River Roost. Thank you for hangin' tonight. You rule, yes you do.

I'm going to leave you tonight with Nothing's debut record, Guilty of Everything, a modern shoegaze masterpiece.

#topjamsky #vinylsky

The Horrors, Skying, 2xLP, black vinyl

I'm going to make the trip-hop to shoegaze transition as painless as possible with "Endless Blue" by The Horrors. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Massive Attack, Blue Lines, black vinyl, a raging fire, buddha

Our jam sessions often have unspoken themes, or subtle mixes. Like, I just showed you how to get from Lee Perry to Massive Attack via Richie Havens and Lauryn Hill. Use this knowledge wisely. #topjamsky #vinylsky

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, 2xLP, black vinyl

Not a woman, not a parent, not a Christian, and yet, I find "To Zion" to be a very powerful song about young motherhood. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Woodstock, 3xLP, black vinyl, weirdo edition where one record is sides 1 and 6, another is 2 and 5, and the last record is 3 and 4. Weirdos.

I've been listening to Richie Haven's "Freedom" a lot during the past 12 months. It's about freedom (of course), and more importantly, the struggle and the doubts when you are face to face with a powerful, cunning adversary. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Lee Perry and The Upsetters, Blackboard Jungle Dub, charcoal gray colored vinyl

This record is stacked. It's got Lee Perry and King Tubby sharing engineer credit. Augustus Pablo contributes, as does Aston Barrett of Bob Marley and the Wailers, and Tommy McCook of the Skatalites. I'd go on, but there's a strict character limit. Just rock it. #topjamsky #vinylsky

King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown, peach vinyl

Welcome to another Top Jam Saturday Night.

King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown is one of the classic dub records I recently picked up from Turntable Lab with holiday cash. These represses on Clocktower Records were surprisingly priced under $20, new, which is rare these days. #topjamsky #vinylsky
