🤦 Facepalm of the day The famous retro YouTuber "The 8-Bit Guy" decided to alienate his core audience and destroy his whole reputation with a single video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmgeFTAk2a8 (He "made" a "movie" with genAI that he will show in a cinema. The vast majority of the thousands of comments on the video are extremely negative.) #retro #retrogaming #neverslop #noai #8bit #the8bitguy

I made something... Very Different.

THE ROLLING STONES Let It Bleed 1969 Canada pressing [early red labels] With certain bands, I’m more than ok with never hearing them in my life ever again. I have been clobbered over the head with bands like The Stones, Beatles, The Who, and Led Zeppelin over and over again, and I just don’t care to hear those band’s records any more. There are a few exceptions to this sentiment, and Let It Bleed is certainly one of them. It is hands down my favorite Stones record, and I will ALWAYS be down to listen to it. It is the only record of theirs that I just never got burnt out on, and I will continue to listen to it until I’m dead. One of the greatest album openers of all time, and you can say the same about the CLOSING track as well. Combined with “You Got The Silver” (maybe my favorite Stones song ever) and “Midnight Rambler”, it’s my forever Stones album. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music #1960s #60s

PINK FLOYD Relics 1981 Canada reissue Having a lovely Saturday afternoon with The Floyd. This is probably the Pink Floyd recording that I’ve listened to the most in my life, and by that measurement, I guess you could call it my favorite Floyd record period, which I’d be ok with. Meant to whet people’s appetites between Atom Heart Mother and Meddle, it’s got all the killer early singles on it, b-sides, soundtrack recordings from More, and the previously unreleased ‘69 track “Biding My Time”. It’s the most satisfying front-to-back Floyd record there is, and as much as I love from DSOTM on, there’s nothing that holds a candle to the earlier stuff. Lastly, I’m not a huge fan of “alternate covers” of things, but in THIS particular case, this has always been my favorite of this album’s numerous variants. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music #pinkfloyd #psychedelic #relics #1960s #60smusic #60s #artrock

ED O’BRIEN Blue Morpho 2026 Europe pressing Without a doubt one of my favorite records of 2026. This is ASTONISHINGLY good. To be honest, I was not impressed with Ed’s EARTH album. It just sounded like him trying to figure out what he could do outside of the cozy confines of Radiohead, away from Thom and Jonny. It was a little too conventional & clumsy sounding for me. With Blue Morpho, it seems that he discovered that he didn’t have to put his broken self back together in exactly the same shape. THIS record embraces atmosphere and nature. It’s breezy, psychedelic and ambient sounding, with cool electronic and Kraut rock flourishes. It’s a BEAUTIFUL record, and something I wasn’t expecting at all. Ed is on record talking about how hard things were for him since Covid. Through this great record, it sounds like depression has turned into graciousness and gratitude. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music
