the owls have been
talking to me
but I'm sworn
to secrecy
I woke up in
a burnt-out basement
sleeping with
metal hands
in a spirit ditch

"I was on 'The Mike Douglas Show' twice. I was on the cover of practically every magazine in the United States. I never said no to anything. I told everything to everybody. I gave everything away, and when you give it all away, you have nothing left." - Peter Frampton, born this day in 1950.

If you didn't know, I operate the best record club ever founded on the worst business model ever. I've given away 150 free records so far. Come get in on the lunacy. It's madness and it's fun...

Thread 'Vinyl Me, D: A Free Record Club - Year 3 Official Thread - 36 Winners - Like The First Post, You're In For 2025 - 159 Free Records Given Away So Far'

Jul 29, 2024

In September, year two of Vinyl Me, D will come to a close. I can't believe this thing has been percolating for 24 months.

I've had a blast giving away 108 records and I hope all the recipients have enjoyed it half as much as I have.

It's too late to stop now - I'm gonna go for the triple dog dare. Or the Three-Headed Dog if you're a Roky Erickson fan.

I think y'all enjoyed the 3 new winners every month / win once in a year format so that will remain in place - spreads more love and joy that way.

It's very simple to take part in this whole fiasco - simply like this post....

"I don't think rock 'n roll is necessarily a young man's game. I think Neil Young is just as rock'n'roll now as he was in his 20s." - Adam Clayton, born this day in 1960.

In light of the NYT article I feel it's time we swallow our pride, give Chad his props and start referring to him in more reverential terms befitting vinyl royalty. Instead of Fuckin' Chad, I propose Sir Chad The Fuck.
