#aprilrecordaday Day 13: Favorite Cover - Crumbsuckers - Life Of Dreams. I was torn between this and Agnostic Front - Cause For Alarm, but I picked this because I also wanted to put the spotlight on Crumbsuckers this time. This was drawn by the one and only Sean Taggart, one of my favorite artists. I often try to draw in his style when doing art myself.

#aprilrecordaday Day 12: Split Or Compilation - 1989's New York Hardcore: Where The Wild Things Are... Outburst, Raw Deal, Life's Blood, Breakdown, Sheer Terror, Maximum Penalty, Uppercut, N.B.S.H, Gorilla Biscuits. Got this while in Europe a couple years ago by begging my friend Dan to trade since he originally got it at a record store there. Probably one of the coolest records I own and the booklet it comes with is the icing on the cake.

This is from two years ago but I'm doing it anyway. #aprilrecordaday #vinyl #vinyligclub

It was fun to share some of my vinyl collection with you. It makes me want to do one of those yoga challenges now. We now return to the regularly scheduled running/food/family posts.

April Record a Day-Day 30-Record that will never get old Pink Floyd-Wish You Were Here This stoner classic sounds as good today as the first time I listened to it. This copy, a Dutch pressing that I picked up at the Waterlooplein, a sweet outdoor flea market in Amsterdam has extra heapings of nostalgia added onto it. Big respect to Amsterdam for being a hotbed of vinyl culture during the mid-90's. That's where I fell in love with vinyl.
