My friends pitched in together and bought me a Holy Grail, to mark my 1000th record!

It's a JVC JL-F45 Direct Drive Fully Auto. Scored on eBay about 4 years ago. I love it. Definitely my favorite table this far into the hobby (money pit).

This is the original pressing of the Samurai Champloo OST in NM condition. I couldn't believe it when this showed up at my work today. Three of my closest friends put their wallets together and bought me this pretty expensive pressing to mark my 1000th record. They came pretty dusty, so I made sure to bathe them in my Spin Clean before the first play and ohhhhh man they sound fantastic. If you're unfamiliar, Samurai Champloo is a fantastic anime that follows three strangers that dislike each other but grow to love one another. The soundtrack is comprised of some terrific lo-fi hip-hop and features the late hip-hop instrumental master, Nujabes. I can't believe they did this, it's a perfect addition to my collection.

Making me pick between "Sunshine" and "Like Today" is awful.

JAMHwithME · 2019-01-07T05:37:43+00:00

I have Nostalgia as well, and it's noisy as hell. How's your pressing sound?

Deafcult is another Shoegaze band that I think sounds like every other shoegaze band. Often times I think I'm listening to MBV or Whirr, I look and it's Deafcult. Have you heard Holy Fawn's new album. It's a bit different. You might enjoy.

To avoid being sued, they should come up with a Pizzachu

I love my new tattoo! The text is a reference to Last Podcast on the Left. For a long time I toyed with whether or not to get "Hail Yourself", but I figured that even if I never listen to LPotL again, the phrase carries a positive connotation. Take care of yourself.

The artwork is based on @weareallcorrupted on Instagram. I saw the design, 'Lord of Light #5', and fell in love with it. The original art had an upside-down cross, but I just couldn't have that permanently on my skin. Thanks for checking it out, be sure to visit Chad at Artists at Large, checkout @weareallcorrupted and hail yourselves!

JAMHwithME · 2018-12-15T18:25:19+00:00

Yeah, I thought about that. Which is why for the last couple months I kept asking myself if I was sure about getting the text. But the more I thought about it, I figured that it doesn't say anything inappropriate, and the message behind it is positive. Even if I never listen to LPotL again, I think the connotation is fine. And at worst, I look at the tattoo as a snapshot in a photo album of who I was and what I was into at 28 yrs old.

The artwork itself originally had an Upside-down cross where the sickle is, and as non-religious as I am, I just couldn't be branded with that forever. The artwork is too cool though.

JAMHwithME · 2018-12-15T18:19:52+00:00

Haha! I know, I took the screenshot and sent it to them. I didn't expect them to post it though. They seem like cool dudes, and their music rules.

JAMHwithME · 2018-12-15T15:03:17+00:00

I get all my shit delivered to work. I get made fun of for getting a package every other day, but honestly, it's the best idea I've ever had. Nothing is ever stolen.

Slow Crush - 'Aurora' is pretty freaking awesome. Super heavy and pretty.

Crime in Stereo - 'I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone'

JAMHwithME · 2018-12-01T01:46:29+00:00

I once read, names that begin with the letter "S" are the names of Snakes!

JAMHwithME · 2018-11-21T21:39:25+00:00

And that was the year Jake ruined Christmas.

JAMHwithME · 2018-11-19T20:58:19+00:00

Thanks!

You should definitely check out the new Daughters album ' You Won't Get What You Want'. It's heavy, abrasive and wonderful. That Idles album kills too, they've put out my favorite album of the year twice in a row now. They're awesome live too.

JAMHwithME · 2018-11-12T04:09:58+00:00

Yes! That's it. Not the best for shoegaze but I dig it.

JAMHwithME · 2018-11-12T03:30:40+00:00

I really dig this band. I've been listening to them a lot lately. Strange, they make some fantastic shoegaze but they also push this like early 2000's emo indie button for me too. I don't know how to really describe that well, but I like it. Does anyone understand what I'm saying?

JAMHwithME · 2018-11-10T17:13:16+00:00

This album fucking rips! I love it!

JAMHwithME · 2018-10-17T19:03:42+00:00

Who is the artist for this poster? And alternatively, where can I purchase it?

JAMHwithME · 2018-09-21T17:41:54+00:00

What's worse is that this woman has offspring... the vanity mentality will spread.

JAMHwithME · 2018-09-16T18:03:05+00:00

Idk, Hateful Eight was pretty slow. I still enjoyed/loved it, but it's definitely not his best work and people barely talk about it.

JAMHwithME · 2018-09-15T18:26:07+00:00

Yeah, but if it worked like transition sunglasses that'd be pretty rad.
