It’s again, and the theme this week is the infamous “Tipper sticker”. A reference to the parental advisory sticker pushed by Tipper Gore and the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) in the nate 80’s & early 90’s. The assignment was to post a record adorned with this sticker.

Thankfully, my mother didn’t care what I listened to back in the day. She would purchase these tapes & CD’s for me as a kid; no questions asked! I accumulated quite a bit of albums featuring “unsuitable content” and often picked them solely based on this as a young teen. Shout out, mom. ✌🏻😂✌🏻

I struggled between picking a killer gangster rap record or an early metal record, but I ultimately settled on one that was released well beyond the time this sticker meant anything and when I was already of age.

This is Dr. Dooom’s (AKA of Ultramagnetic MC’s) debut titled “First Come, First Served”. If you’re unfamiliar with Keith, he’s had many aliases over the years and released a TON of records. You can see the Dr. Octagon record in the top-right. That’s him with and . Dooom is a spinoff of that one (he “murders” Dr. Octagon in an intro on this record) and it’s out there. Often hilarious, but uhhhh…darkly funny. And how about that parody of the old No Limit Records/Pen & Pixel covers?! If you like your hip-hop weird & hilarious, then this is one you absolutely need. The pinnacle of “horrorcore”, if you ask me.

Check out the other participants’ choices on the swipe. Their names are below as well, so give them a follow. This was a fun one!

Thirty-five years ago today, some guy named Dave played his first gig with this young band from Seattle called NIRVANA. Ever hear of ‘em?

In all seriousness, “Nevermind” is a game changer. It’s actually my least favorite Nirvana record (not that it isn’t good or anything), but when I saw the “Smells Like Teen Spirit” video on the Video Countdown with as a kid, I was changed. I vividly remember that it took over the #1 spot from that s**tty hair metal band Mr. Big. 😆

39 years ago today, Talking Heads’ weird musical comedy “True Stories” starring the great John Goodman, arrived in theaters. Factoid: changed their name from “On a Friday” after suggested to. They got the new name from the song “Radio Head” on the soundtrack to the film.

Acquired a small collection of KILLER cassettes the day after the event last weekend from a really cool local dude named Brad. 95% of these will be for sale at the next, not-yet-booked event. STAY TUNED!

Go see it in the theater. It was TREMENDOUS.

I realized I posted this video on my IG (), but it didn’t transfer to here for some reason. This is just a brief thank you video and explaining that I am now officially in the business of acquiring more inventory!

So if you’re local to the broad central PA area (and beyond, if it’s a bigger collection & driveable) and are looking to get rid of ANY physical media (primarily vinyl, cassettes, Blu-ray/4K UHD & VHS, but certainly NOT excluding DVD, CD, specific books/zines, etc.) - please reach out via DM or find my e-mail in my bio. I am on a mission to create something fun for our community. Send photos or video of your goods, and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

I’ve decided to just reset my personal account and keep this business page active simply for the events & marketplace features. The amount of people that reminded me about those features and their usefulness was too crucial to let go as a man now in the pre-owned goods business. See ya at the next event, folks!

It’s again, folks! This week’s theme is GET FUNKY. So the assignment was to pick a funk record out of your collection…

My selection is the self-titled debut from bayou funk OG’s, The Meters (AKA The Funky Meters). It’s not my favorite funk record of all-time, but it’s up there! Is there a better opener than “Cissy Strut”?! I’m hard pressed to think of one. The “ahhhhhhh…yah!” at the beginning sets the tone.

I found this original U.S. press still in the shrink at when they first opened for under $10.00! A steal of a deal because the record also happens to be in tremendous shape.

Check out the other super friends’ selections on the swipe and visit their profiles below. They have some excellent taste in funk, if you ask me:

So, wait…Madonna () signed these guys? 😏

Today was the 30th anniversary of Deftones’ first album, “Adrenaline”. My brother introduced this to me shortly after it came out. I don’t really spin these Deftones records much anymore, but the guitar tone on this record is so fu***ng sick. 🔪 🪨 🎸⚡️

I have to get to bed now so I can sell you the good s**t tomorrow. ✌🏻
