For the love of music! From classic rock to reggae to punk to soul to alternative to blues slowly sharing my collection and custom artwork one at a time!
If you are looking for pricing/grading a record, just ask! I usually rely on @discogs and @Goldmine.
- Playing "Georgia Blue", the incredible tribute to Georgia artists by the one and only #JasonIsbell and the 400 Unit. Features Brandi Carlile, Bela Fleck, Brittney Spencer among others with proceeds going to the Georgia Democratic Party. Oh how that would make Gregg Allman proud from up above!
- A reminder that this album is a brilliant slice of heaven by arena rocker #BillySquier! Nothing like kickstarting a Monday work day with this barnburner!
- If you were making an 'essentials' playlist for #ThePolice, what three tracks would you want to include? Mine are: 1- So Lonely 2- Walking on the Moon 3- Don't Stand So Close To Me #Sting #StewartCopeland #AndySummers
- Continuing with the punk scene! "So Alone" by the incredible #JohnnyThunders has got to be one of my favourite albums ever on the strength of the title track and "You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory". There's also a nod to surf rock with the blistering cover of "Pipeline". Worth $60 as well!!
- Leave it to #BruceSpringsteen to make sure that Kristi Noemi, Stephen Miller and Trump's SS are forever stained by America's greatest storyteller! FUCK ICE! www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKS...
- Some albums are more impactful thirty+ years after their release. "Badmotorfinger" by #Soundgarden was so far ahead of its time. Tracks like "Rusty Cage", "Outshined" and the blistering "Jesus Christ Pose" were moderate hits back in 1991 but carry far more weight in 2026. Tell me I am wrong!
- What's your favourite Aerosmith album out of their vast collection? For me, it's easily their 1976 release "Rocks". #MusicSky #Aerosmith
- If you were making an '80s Pop Classics' playlist, what choice cuts would you add to my growing list? #WallOfVoodoo Mexican Radio #Prince When Doves Cry #Blondie Call Me #Bangles Manic Monday #INXS What You Need
- If you were making an 'essentials' playlist for Seattle's #Soundgarden featuring the late/great Chris Cornell, what three tracks would need to be included? Mine are: 1-Outshined 2-Loud Love 3-Ugly Truth
- Why is every winter storm that hits the US considered a monster especially when their President wants Greenland and our homeland? Just another day in Canada folks! #ElbowsUp!
- Playing "One Night Stands" by Canadian rockers #Teaze. Produced by Myles Goodwin of #AprilWine fame, their third album features singles "Boys Night Out" and "Young and Reckless"! Who else recalls this band from Windsor ON? LABEL: Rock Candy CANDY060 ©1979/2009 GENRE: Pop/Rock SUB-GENRE: Hard Rock
- "Tejas" by the best little band in Texas, aka #ZZTop is another album celebrating its 50th anniversary. Although it had but one single "Arrested For Driving While Blind", there are some brilliant deep cuts like the bluesy "El Diablo" and "She's a Heartbreaker". Thoughts!
- The best speech you will hear all day! Hoping someone takes note and realises that Canada will not be afraid of the US and their acts of intimidation. www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...
- #Dogs #DogsOfBluesky #Westies Let's see your dogs! Here is my West Highland White Terrier "West" enjoying the snow here in Canada's capital!
- What's the coolest photo that you've taken on your phone? Mine is of this train track going out of the city!

- If you were making an 'essentials' playlist by the incredibly talented #DavidBowie, what 3 cuts would be absolutely dealbreakers! Mine are: 1- Panic In Detroit 2- Heroes 3- Moonage Daydream
- If you were creating an 'essentials' playlist for Australian rockers #ACDC, what three cuts would need to be on that list? Mine are: For Those About To Rock Shoot To Thrill Ride On
- One of hard rock's greatest albums is turning 50 as well this year! "Rising" by #Rainbow features the guitar virtuosity of #RitchieBlackmore and the powerhouse vocals o the late-great #RonnieJamesDio. Standouts include "Starstruck" and "Tarot Woman". A fabulous effort that inspires to this day!
- Hard to believe this gem is turning 50 years young this year. The #Eagles "Hotel California" had everybody playing air guitar to dual leads #DonFelder and #JoeWalsh. A flawless album in my opinion and one I enjoy playing routinely. What are your thoughts?
- Dropping the needle on "In The Court of the Crimson King" by the incredible #KingCrimson. Features "21st Century Schizoid Man" and "Epitaph". A defining moment in #progrock history. LABEL: Editions EG – EGKC 1 ©1969/1983 GENRE: Pop/Rock SUB-GENRE: Prog-Rock VALUE: $22.50 VG to $45.00 NM Gatefold
- So many brilliant debut albums from 1976. "Dreamboat Annie" by Seattle's very own Wilson sisters, aka #Heart, is no exception. A gig opening for Rod Stewart broke them across Canada where the album was recorded. America followed suit on the strength of "Crazy on You" and the title track.
- Another groundbreaking debut that's turning 50 this year. New wave icons #Blondie released their debut on Private Stock labels before signing with Chrysalis. Debut has the blistering "Rip Her To Shreds" and "X Offender".
- Yet another incredible album turning 50 this year! "2112" by Canadian legends #Rush gave them the latitude to do whatever they wanted after. This remains forever in the pantheons as one of the greatest hard rock and progressive rock albums of all-time! #AlexLifeson #GeddyLee #NeilPeart
- Playing the #BarrBrothers who've moved from the US to Montreal a good 20 years ago. This is their latest offering "Let It Hiss", a tour de force that doesn't disappoint! LABEL: Secret City Records SCR186CD ©2025 GENRE: Pop/Rock SUB-GENRE: Indie / Roots Rock
- Another album that will be celebrating its 50th anniversary this year! The killer debut by #Boston features arena anthems "More Than A Feeling", "Peace of Mind" and "Long Time". Don't know too many people who didn't have this one blasting back in the day!!
- Playing the fantastic debut by #BadCompany who were FINALLY inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Any other 70s / 80s acts deserving to get into the Hall? For me, #IronMaiden, #ThinLizzy, #Styx and #Supertramp NEED to get in!
- Playing Scotland's favourite sons #Nazareth and their 74' effort "Rampant". Features two of their bigger hits in "Sunshine" and "Shanghai'd in Shanghai". Saw them on a bill with #BlackSabbath. LABEL: A&M Records SP 3641 ©1974 GENRE: Pop/Rock SUB-GENRE: Hard Rock VALUE: $9.00 VG to $18.00 NM
- Going to dive into albums that are 50 years old. #TomPetty and the Heartbreakers put out their first album back in '76 injecting a much needed shot in the arm with FM classics "Breakdown", "The Wild One Forever"and "American Girl" hitting FM radio stations every where.
