My 5:34 Thursday evening vinyl is "New Jukebox Hits" by Chuck Berry and its a first edition Chess Records pressing that I picked up at an estate sale.

My 4:38 Thursday rainy afternoon vinyl is the "Rumble Fish" soundtrack by Stewart Copeland of The Police who played all the instruments and is on my shortlist for one of the greatest soundtracks ever made.

Coming up from the "Vinyl Exile" podcast, Episode 86-Rest In Power....For Now 2026 & Episode 87-Kakistocracy Now (Strange Fruit Redux) will both post on October 31, 2026. Feel free to listen to previous episodes through the iHeart Radio app.

My 5:18 Tuesday evening vinyl is "Version 2.0" by Garbage which I think is their best album. My vinyl version has to be played at 45 RPM.

My 2 PM Sunday afternoon vinyl is the underrated "Spilt Milk" by Jellyfish. This album abandons the psychedelic power pop of "Bellybutton" and switches to glam rock for this album. The results are brilliant. Roger Joseph Manning Jr. has a page on FB that I'd highly recommend supporting.

Two of my favorite moments this year. Meeting Jennifer Young, Micky Lynn PR and Dr. Miss Sharon "Mitch" Mitchell at Chicago Exxxotica 2026

My 10:07 Sunday morning vinyl is "Kind Of Blue" by Miles Davis which has one of the most excellent slow burns on "So What". Sound perfect on vinyl.

What the hell!!! Might as well as well make my Sunday morning vinyl the debut album by Black Sabbath that was recorded in just eight hours. This album is loud even when you play it at a low volume.

My 8:34 Sunday morning vinyl is "Sinatra & Company" by Frank Sinatra as I have coffee and a muffin.

My 1:10 Saturday afternoon vinyl as I script out recording a podcast episode is the perfect psychedelic power pop masterpiece "Bellybutton" by Jellyfish which made two brilliant albums before breaking up during the nineties.

My 10:16 Saturday morning vinyl is "Don Cornelius Presents The Soul Train Gang" which was a group created to promote the "Soul Train/Solar Records" label. The album was co-produced by Dick Griffey who later became the president of Solar Records. Don Cornelius also contributes his voice on a track.

My 7:26 Saturday morning vinyl is "Straight And Gay" with is a compilation of raunchy blues songs from the mid-1920s to the mid-1930s. I just love when I discover this historical music.

My 6:41 Saturday morning vinyl with coffee as I deal with the aftereffects of the Flu and Shingles shots is "Ike Turner's Kings Of Rhythm Volume 1" which is an excellent jump blues compilation created by Ike Turner.

My 4:42 Thursday afternoon vinyl is the 1976 debut from "Boston". There are no tracks to skip on this album. Every track is a total banger. I love playing this loud like I am right now.

My 6:14 Wednesday afternoon vinyl is the 1968 release "Fresh Cream" by Cream. Their cover of Muddy Waters' "Rollin And Tumblin" is just the ultimate in dynamic energy. They're practically bashing this blues song with punk rock energy.

My 5:36 afternoon vinyl is the 1978 debut album from The Cars which is a perfect album produced by Roy Thomas Baker (Queen). Its an album with no bad songs on it that manages to sound eternally fresh after repeated listenings.

My 4:24 Wednesday afternoon vinyl is once again the "Drive" soundtrack by Cliff Martinez. I can play this excellent soundtrack to death. I should watch the film someday because the last time that I saw it was when it was at the theater.

My 12:42 Sunday afternoon and final vinyl for today is "Three Of A Perfect Pair" by King Crimson. Tony Levin's bass line on "Sleepless" is one of the best I've ever heard.

My 12:12 Sunday afternoon vinyl is "Bikini Wax" by Killer Pussy. I have no idea what this album sounds like because I bought it because of the cover, band name and song titles. Sometimes you just gotta roll the dice when you're record hunting and see what happens.

These are the two fuzzy blacklight posters that hang above my head in my nerd cave. The room is basically my sanctuary for my sanity.

My 11:42 Sunday morning vinyl is "His Biggest Hits" by Little Richard which contains all the classics that he did for Specialty Records. The album is loud as hell even if you play it at a low volume.

Its 10:58 on a Sunday morning and its time for some soulful blues with "Waiting For Little Milton" by Little Milton. I just love this Stax recording and I absolutely love the couch on the album cover.

My 9:20 Sunday morning vinyl is the "Drive" soundtrack by Cliff Martinez which is an incredible electronic soundtrack that I never get sick of.

My 5:54 Sunday morning vinyl with coffee is "Here I Am" by Dionne Warwick and songs written and arranged by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. A great album to kick back to as you're surrounded by four speakers.

I'm up with a cup of coffee on a Sunday at 4:49 AM. Perfect time to play my "Champagne Music Varieties" box set by Lawrence Welk. I used to love watching his show when I was a kid.

New Patreon is up! Go join!

My 12:04 Saturday afternoon vinyl is "Moving Waves" from the Dutch band Focus. Their song "Hocus Pocus" was used in an intense shootout scene in the film "Baby Driver" which turned me onto the band.

My 11:36 vinyl is the "Staying Alive" soundtrack that contains the cult hit "Far From Over" by Frank Stallone. I shouldn't call it a cult hit because I've never met anyone who doesn't get pumped up when they hear that song come on in their life.

Finally found a place to put my Devo hat. I'm starting to run out of space in this room. Its about as crowded as the inside of the Millennium Falcon at this point.
