THE SHARP PINS Radio DDR 2025 U.S. pressing More perfect #lofi #janglepop from Sharp Pins! I posted the equally excellent Turtle Rock last week, and I’ve been giving repeated listens to this one as well. I guess this was originally released as a home tape in April of ‘24, and this vinyl version is expanded to 14 songs, straddling that awesome line of do-it-yourself Guided By Voices, Big Star, some Beatles, as well as some of the clsssic sounding British Invasion bands, too. I’ve taken quite a shine to Kai Slater’s songwriting, and I love these records. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music #indie #alternative #artrock #Chicago #sharppins

R.E.M. – Lifes Rich Pageant (1986, US) Continuing our journey through the epic Fedi-sourced catalogue of must-hear albums, our next spotlight is on number 126 on The List, submitted by rothko. Released on this day 40 years ago, this was R.E.M.’s fourth studio album, and their first to go gold. With lyrics touching on political activism, environmentalism, and the evils of colonialism, genocide, and political oppression, these songs have barely aged a day. The album's only flaw, in fact, might be the missing apostrophe in the album title. Want to read more?
