It’s your friendly neighborhood Vinyl Ape, checking in from the road.

Had a fruitful day at Chiliwax Records in Chilliwack, B.C. today.

Coming away with ten great records, some stickers, and other ephemera from my visit.
Was able to get a few very sought after records that have been on my list for a while, and the atmosphere and staff there was very friendly.
I hope to get at least a few more hours in there before I have to depart tomorrow after this stupid wedding.

And there’s still a few more stores to hit on the way back!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everybody!

My allergies exploded this week and I've spent the last five days with a sinus headache. It hasn't left me wanting to listen to music much. Feeling better this afternoon though, finally, so while I sit in the car outside the archery range I'm going to catch up on some new releases!

re: #introduction

You see before you a middle-aged white male standing over six feet. He has a scraggly chin beard trimmed on the jaw line, wavy brown hair pulled back into a pony tail, and hazel eyes behind frankly ridiculous black, wide-rimmed eyeglasses. He's dressed like a twelve year-old in baggy jeans, hoodie, Beths t-shirt, and a KEXP beanie. A laptop bag is on his shoulder and overpriced headphones are around his neck. He's trying to look nonchalant as you approach but you can't shake the feeling he'd rather be listening to #music than engaging face to face.

"I help admin linernotes.club, the premiere fediverse destination for music lovers who nod knowingly at each other from across the room when that song comes on but probably won't ever introduce themselves," he says, unprompted. That was weird. Then: "Oh, that was weird. Sorry. Uh, say, have you heard the new Sloan record? I've got it right here..."

So hey, I'm evilchili. I am cis/het and use he/him pronouns. I mostly toot about music, because it brings me joy, and I believe joy is an act of resistance. When I go looking for new music I post about it on #CrateDigging. When I listen to it, I post #TastingNotes. Sometimes I do long threads about an artist's discography, like #TMBGTime. I'm not here for politics, shitposting, or irony. If you toot or boost that stuff that's cool but I won't be following. Nazi punks fuck off. AI, crypto, techbro punks too. Usually all the same punk.

I run a #dnd homebrew game called #deadsands. I do post occasionally about that. I make #resin #dice and toot about it on @dicefail. I've been working in tech for over 30 years and getting ready to start my second act. I'm married, have twin boys, and an old, blind, stupid, sweet Greyhound named Rufus (after mssr. Wainwright). Ask me anything!
