I love this Spiritualized record when I'm sober. I am not sober. I smoked the Green State's greenest, most dankest, most rainbow buds, and I'm really fucking high and I drank its juiciest IPA, it was dank, too, and this album is blowing my fucking mind, man. #topjamsky #vinylsky

I don't know where you stand on the sell-out debate. We haven't talked since that kegger at Keith's place in '98. But, I think it's pretty cool that a band like Sonic Youth got Starbucks to put out their greatest hits album. They're like raging from inside the machine. #topjamsky #vinylsky

My favorite trivia from the Clash's debut is that the line "I won't open letter bombs for you," from Career Opportunities, refers to a real life job guitarist Mick Jones had where he legit inspected government mail for bombs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihPe...

Listening to Mos Def and I'm of two minds. 1) I can't believe we're still protesting this shit some 25 years later. 2) Do not accept and do not obey. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Tom Petty was one of the good guys of Rock 'N' Roll, but had one strange habit that makes one go hmm -- Whether an album was credited to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers or just Tom Petty, like Willdflowers, the Heartbreakers still featured prominently, just not on the cover. #topjamsky #vinylsky

So many spring trailflowers today.

The wind is bullshit. Strava said the wind speed was only 4.1 mph. That's bullshit, too. From my saddle, it was a headwind or a crosswind but never a tailwind for 25 miles, with the only break from the wind coming during the climb up Fletcher Hill. Otherwise, it was a great day for bikes #bikevt

This is your brain on Deutsche Electronische Musik Vol 4: Stimulated, amused even, groovier than you remember, most definitely did big bong rips earlier in the night. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Is anyone from Levitation Records or maybe Austin Psych Fest out there on Bluesky? I'll skeet your releases for skunk weed. Hit me up, dudes. #topjamsky #vinylsky

The mix may be vintage Albini, but the sound and the fury of Rid of Me is 100% Polly Jean Harvey. #topjamsky #vinlsky

Zig, I expect you to let me know if you see a moose out there tonight.

2nd best rock duo of the '00s. I will also accept Lightning Bolt and No Age as correct answers. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Superchunk's tour with the younger, upstarts, The Get Up Kids ended so badly, the band nearly called it quits. Ok, the Get Up Kids were way more emo, and the Chunk were indie, but sonically and even lyrically, they're very same. The kids didn't agree. I, personally, went to see both bands #topjamsky

The day Superchunk's No Pocky for Kitty became a spring album, I was driving a through a suburban hellscape to a post-work function, filled with dread, but the sun was out, I blasted "Cast Iron." The forced fraternization was not good. Superchunk ruled thoroughly. #toppjamsky #vinylsky

I am forever grateful to @cardiganenthusiast.bsky.social for playing Live and Loose! by MJ Lenderman & The Wind during our Neil Young and Crazy Horse road trip last spring. It changed the course of my life for the better. #topjamsky #vinylsky

I don't need a budget hardtail, but if I were to buy a budget hardtail, I'd take a long look at the new State Bicycle hardtail. www.statebicycle.com/collections/...

Here I am, watching Jesus Christ Superstar, and I can't seem to get Soundgarden outta my head. #topjamsky #vinylsky

I'm not one to give out life tips, but at this point in the night, should you smoke a bowl and watch the far-out '70s movie version of Jesus Christ Superstar, you'd fulfill both your Easter obligation and your 420 obligation.

The next time I host a theme night, the theme has gotta be kick-ass Yo La Tengo records I don't listen to nearly often enough. #topjamsky #vinylsky

A porch rocker for my fellow Vermonters, where we had an unseasonably warm Saturday for April #topjamsky #vinylsky

Like it's predecessor, Old Growth, Dead Meadow's '13 album, Warble Womb takes many of its musical cues from American roots music. However, this is Dead Meadow, we're talking about -- one of the 21st Century's preeminent psych rock bands. There is amp worship. Things do get plenty heavy #topjamSky

Weird Vermont is alive and well at a small farm on Prosper Road. The property is home to dozens of art installations. I prefer approaching the Prosper Road summit from Barnard Road and taking an art break during the descent back into town. #bikeVT

Despite their prominence, alpacas are not native to Vermont. They are good looking, though #bikevt

I'm really excited about riding bikes today. It's cloudy, but temps may hit 80 in the Upper Valley. Plus, today's route is going to take me past one of my favorite spots, the sculpture garden on Prosper Road. There will be pics.

Cool, windy, cloudy, for a five mile hike, and yet there is no other way I'd like to spend a morning.
