Finally getting around to hearing The Boys of Dungeon Lane and it's a lot better than I was expecting. Solid record, Sir Paul! Dude might just make it in this crazy music business.

I was invited to the excellent Records Revisited Podcast (@PodcastRecords) to discuss the Rush classic "2112," which is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Give it a listen!

I've spent many years pondering these song lyrics:
"Honeycomb’s big... yeah, yeah, yeah!
It’s not small... no, no, no!
Honeycomb’s got... a big, big bite,
Big, big crunch in a big, big bite!"

🎵He sat me down to talk to me,
He looked me straight in the eeyyyyeees
He said
"You're no son, you're no son of mine"
"You're no son, you're no son of mine"
"You walked out, you left us behind"
"And you're no son, you're no son of mine"🎵

New MRC Newsletter! I always enjoy revisiting Marillion's "Anoraknophobia" album, but it was great to spin it repeatedly on its recent 25th anniversary. Here are my thoughts on this unique record:

@VintageRockN_85 On Record Store Day I picked up the Live From The Los Angeles Sports Arena, April 26th , 1975 release from Pink Floyd on CD.

@gbscobel @OneOutOf4 I saw them at the Newport Music Hall in Columbus when they were touring that album. Great show.

@TheKJA Ha! I just got one that was a "last notice" for a ticket in Miami-Dade County (zero previous notices were texted to me). Haven't been there in like 15 years, so getting a moving violation there would be a pretty neat trick.

@MyWeeklyMixtape I love that Within Temptation album.

@BuddyGoldenDog Genesis is the greatest band of all time, and I am not taking any questions or comments at this time.

[Michael's Record Collection Pod/Newsletter @MikesRecords]

Genesis is 31 spots too low and no RUSH?!?! FOH, Rolling STone.

[MeltdownRocks @MeltdownRocks]

Holy Hell. Rolling Stone's top 50 rock bands of all time. Ok, X, do your thing.....

The only thing on this list I agree with is the Beatles.

@chocolatierLL Where Springsteen & the E Street Band at?

"And they wandered in from the city of Saint John without a dime."
- Steely Dan, The Royal Scam
Great opening line to a song!

2/2 - What I experience at RSD is a community coming together and celebrating something we all love while supporting our local store. They have a vendor area in front each year where you can get swag, buy drinks, hang out & discuss your purchases with others. It's a great event.

[Michael's Record Collection Pod/Newsletter @MikesRecords]

While I understand the sentiment, it's important to remember not all stores handle Record Store Day the same. Our best local shop holds raffles for time slots to enter the store, cutting the need to get up stupid early to get in line. 1/?

Spun this little beauty earlier: Porcupine Tree - "We Lost the Skyline" on clear vinyl. A nice little in-store performance captured for a live album. I was at the show, and I bought this at the record store where it was recorded! #RSD2026 #vinylrecords #vinyladdict
