- Trip Thru The Collection, Day 127: Mad, Bad and Dangerous To Know. The last of their U.S. chart toppers, but also their most vibrantly in-yer-face queer album. We agreed that, yes Pete, we DO all need a brand new lover. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday #vinyl
- Reposted by GabrielI wrote about the new Muppet Show, which is, thank God, exactly like the old Muppet Show.
- Reposted by GabrielTesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. You suckers
- Trip Thru The Collection, Day 126: Dead Or Alive, Youthquake. My DOA week begins with this stomper, a set inspired by Divine, punk, and genderf#@k. Everyone knows the hits, but deep cuts like "Big Daddy Of The Rhythm" are also superb. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyl
- Trip Thru The Collection, Day 125: Deacon Blue, Bacharach & David. Just an EP, but what a smash -- dominating the charts everywhere but America. Their take on "The Look Of Love" remains my favorite to this day, heartsick and rueful. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyl
- Reposted by GabrielI just rewatched William Wyler's Detective Story--it's based on a 1949 Sidney Kingsley play that ran for 15 months on Broadway with, insanely, a cast of 34. NY really needs an Encores series devoted to unrevivable plays, which this is, even though it basically invented the police-precinct TV drama.
- Reposted by GabrielWhere did these Epstein folks find the time to do anything given the volume of their emailing? It’s almost parodic how much they liked to chat about crimes in their dumb emails.
- Trip Thru The Collection, Day 124: Deacon Blue, Fellow Hoodlums. Less consistent but oddly more rewarding than their other LPs, this set has one of my favorite songs of all time, "Your Swaying Arms," a poignant memoir of past love. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyl

- Don't believe them. They are not drawing down or scaling back. Only constant political pressure, on the streets and on members of Congress, and crushing pain at the ballot box, will get ICE to stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...
- Reposted by GabrielThe Trump Administration is obsessed with protecting pedophiles. After failing to comply with the subpoena and withholding over 50% of the Epstein files, the Trump DOJ just removed parts of the Epstein files that include mention of Donald Trump. (1/2)

- Trip Thru The Collection, Day 123: Deacon Blue, When The World Knows Your Name. Back in the day, my undergraduate angst found a home in "Real Gone Kid," "Wages Day" and "Fergus Sings The Blues." Smart, evolved pop-rock. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #vinyloftheday #vinyl

- We should really fight for this, people. www.semafor.com/article/01/2...
- Trip Thru The Collection, Day 122: Deacon Blue, Raintown. Glasgow's pop balladeers take a hard, loving look at their hometown. "Dignity" is one of the best songs ever written, IMO; "Orphans" lovingly echoes both Costello and Gabriel. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyl
- Recent Additions, Day 121: Book Of Love, Lullaby. Melodic synth artpop was so utterly fab (Human League, Ultravox, etc.), but with B.O.L, it was also...so dramatic! Rarely was the 90's dancefloor so seductively baroque. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday #vinyl
- Recent Additions, Day 120: Toni Braxton. Maybe the best R&B vocalist of the 90's? This glorious reissue of her debut LP, which won 3 Grammy Awards and had 5 top ten singles, is like a rejuvenating spa for your ears. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday #vinyl
- Reposted by GabrielIf Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO. What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions. Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi. Keep your eyes wide open.
- "This is a moral obscenity."
- Trip Thru The Collection Day 119: Sammy Davis Jr. At Town Hall. My favorite Rat Packer; hearing Sammy live really reveals what a magnificent talent he was. He disarms the audience so quickly...they're in love by the second song. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #vinyloftheday #vinyl

- Warning, loss of life in video. This is an execution by Republican thugs on the streets of America of another innocent citizen. We have lost our humanity. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...
- Recent Additions, Day 188: Toni Braxton, Secrets. The first ever reissue, released this week. After decades of being the rarest of rare vinyls, I'm so glad it's here at long last. Toni's voice is a national treasure... #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday #vinyl
- Reposted by GabrielEvery Democratic Senator must vote NO on DHS/ICE funding. Continuing to fund this agency that is terrorizing and murdering our people makes you complicit. They EXECUTED Alex Pretti. Every Senator must draw a line in the stand here.

- Recent Additions, Day 117: Cocteau Twins, Garlands. This isn't my favorite by the Twins...but digging in the used bins, you grab what is there. And it does have its charms, before the swooning atmospherics became their stock in trade. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyl

- Regardless of the game, what I'm seeing is that Colton is a truly, legitimately, terribly bad human. #TraitorsUS
- Recent Vinyl Additions, Day 116: Charlene, I've Never Been To Me. There's no greater camp classic than this ridiculous, self-obsessed anthem. Every drag queen has performed it at least once...because it's on the drag test. Heaven. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyl

- Recent Additions, Day 116: John Coltrane, A Love Supreme. Lucked into this copy at a garage sale, in terrific shape. One of the greatest albums, in any genre, ever made. Transports you and changes your brain patterns when you listen. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyl
- Recent Additions, Day 115: Breland, Cross Country. I have no idea why I love Breland...I don't like much contemporary country, and it's not deep musically or lyrically. But "Praise The Lord" makes me dance around the room every time. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyl

- Recent Additions, Day 114: Bad Bunny, Debí Tirar Más Fotos. Credit superfan @rixrdoo.bsky.social for this one; he sold me on BB's blend of heritage, future-forward beats and spirit, making this stellar LP a frequent play. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #vinyloftheday #vinyl
- Recent Additions, Day 113: Beyonce, Cowboy Carter. A perfect example of why I'm #forevervinyl. On Spotify, this is meh. On vinyl, the LP opens up, the production's complexity shines, and it becomes almost magisterial. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday #vinyl
- Recent Additions, Day 112: Beyonce, B'Day. IMO, this is the LP that first hinted at her promise as a songwriter. "Green Light" is flirty and empowered, while "Irreplaceable" is both a tender ballad and survivor anthem. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday #vinyl
- Recent Additions, Day 111: Tender Lover. Picking this up on a whim, I was shocked how bangers are packed like sardines on this LP. Babyface is young here, but that smooth, effortless production is already a signature. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday #vinyl
