Me? I just grabbed my Walkman and a stack of tapes, hooked it up to my JBL speaker, and went to town.

I had a pretty decent lineup to listen to as well…

Clockwise from top left: Jeff Rosenstock NO DREAM, Soundgarden Superunknown, Bob Dylan Blood on the Tracks, Cryptophaser XXII, Soundgarden Screaming Life/Fopp, and Deadsurf Surf Sludge.

I’m tellin’ y’all, should a grid-killing apocalypse strike, all I need is a bunch of AA batteries and I’m good to go. Even you vinyl freaks got nuthin’ on me.

Also of note musically (see what I did there?), I received an email from Graveface Records via Bandcamp (which was not down today) advertising a new album from Valley Gals called Snake Oil Salesman and it is sooooooo good.

It’s got a strong punk rock + 60s fuzz rock vibe, the latter akin to White Zombie, but with a less industrial sound. I also love frontwoman Miranda Wiley’s voice. I haz happeez.

Give it a listen.
