L.A.’s #TSAR w/ their debut on vinyl! (2000/2025) New to me, it’s dang sa-weet that #omnivorerecords has pressed these glam rock/power poppers onto vinyl for the very first time. Prod. by ROB CAVALLO (GREEN DAY, MY CHEM ROMANCE, etc). High-octane melodic hooks abound! 🔥🎸🤩 👉 youtu.be/ip_cO7KhTWA?...

TUNE OF THE DAY: Sure, most people pinpoint ‘Under The Milky Way’ when they think of THE CHURCH but, for me, THIS is the tune I come back to time & time again. ‘Metropolis’ from their 1990 album, ‘Gold Afternoon Fix’. 👉 youtu.be/96YYp98ye9o?... #thechurch #metropolis #altrock #musicsky #musicislife

Tune of the Day: TEARS FOR FEARS w/ ‘Break It Down Again’. (1993) Alas, this period was w/o CURT but ROLAND creates yet another TFF classic. ‘93: The year I left CT. for California w/ $1000 split between my g’friend & I not knowing where we’d end up. The thrill of youth! 🚗💨 youtu.be/55qdMNun1-U?...

Going on a bit of a 10” vinyl tear! It’s GRADUATE with ‘Acting My Age’. (1980) A band featuring babies, ROLAND ORZABAL & CURT SMITH, pre-TEARS FOR FEARS! It’s playful, poppy & chock full of charming ska-lite melodies. A pleasure to own & spin! 👉 youtu.be/U-iwHDr4DJY?... #tearsforfears #graduate

I’ve gotta credit @msdanielle.bsky.social for alerting me to the fact that this collection even existed! THE HUMAN LEAGUE w/ ‘Greatest Hits’. (1988) Side 1: Non-stop H.L. bangers! 🙌 Little did I know how wrecked the cover was. But oh well, the vinyl sounds mah-velous! 👉 youtu.be/MMu1T_Tg5Fw?...

My 92 yr old mom passed away this past Sunday. We were very close. I got to spend quality time w/ her a couple weeks ago. I wasn’t there for her passing as I live 3000 miles away. Will be heading back for her funeral next week. But it still hasn’t hit me yet. I keep waiting for a flood of tears. 😔
