Guinness World Record for the Largest Brick Collection

Some folks collect comics, stamps, or coins—classic, respectable hobbies. Others, well, they take collecting to an entirely different level. Honestly, if it exists, someone out there is probably collecting it! But let’s talk about the unsung hero of the collecting world: bricks. Yes, you read that right. Good old-fashioned, heavy-as-a-small-dinosaur bricks. Enter Clem Reinkemeyer, a dedicated…

When it was released in 2016, the first 1,000 numbered copies of the Better Call Saul: Original Television Soundtrack, Season 1 LP were pressed on 180 gram audiophile vinyl in a “Chicago Sunroof” colorway. ☀️🚘

This Super Deluxe Limited Edition package includes a full color gatefold sleeve plus an 8-page booklet featuring track-by-track liner notes and several key images from the series. It also comes with a special enlarged-sized Jimmy McGill business card (for senior eyes) as well as an exclusive J.M.M. bumper sticker and “Need A Will? Call McGill!” fridge magnet. Glad I grabbed one of these back then before they sold out!

Hey y'all! Weird question time again! Do you have any recommendations for anything that can monitor your heart rate on the go with like real time updates? I'm looking for something like a pulse oximeter, but that works for people with poor circulation in their fingers (I have a pulse oximeter and sometimes it works and sometimes I confuse it and it panics and spits out random numbers lol) I do have a blood pressure cuff, but I'm looking for something that works faster and while moving, so that I can keep an eye on it when I'm doing things like exercising or climbing stairs (on bad days) so I know when I need to stop before I hit the "uh-oh" level of tachycardia.

Yet another quality find today from Psychotron records in Boldmere - The Trip by Tom Middleton, with not only The Jellyfish by Danny Breaks, Mony Mony by The Mohawks, and Sunshine of Your Love by Spanky Wilson (all of which are staple tunes at The Session each month at the Cask & Craft) but it's even got the theme tune to fucking Bod by Derek Griffiths on it!!

Was not leaving the shop without it...

A year after the feature-length epilogue premiered on Netflix in 2021, the El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack LP was released with a special limited edition of 1,500 copies. Mondo, in partnership with Sony Masterworks, even developed two special colorways for this set: “Orange w/ White Splatter” and “Blue w/ Orange Splatter” vinyls! 🏜️

With a thrilling, pulse-pounding score by Dave Porter and nearly a dozen songs from the movie, this set is essential listening for fans of Vince Gilligan's expanded crime saga. Featuring 2 printed inner pocket sleeves along with exclusive pictures and liner notes, you had to be quick (like me) to preorder your copy before they sold out!

Since we're getting into "did you know that Santa's eight tiny reindeer are a reference to the eight legs of Odin's steed?" season once again, remember: while there are some elements of Christmas (or Hallowe'en, or Easter, or...) observations that are probably pre-Christian in origin, before one believes any of that this-is-really-100%-just-a-Pagan-holiday-with-the-serial-numbers-filed-off stuff, one must consider all of the following possibilities:

Our earliest known records of the cited pre-Christian practices were written down by some random Christian monk centuries after the fact, and we genuinely have no idea how accurate this account is, to what extent the apparent similarities with Christian practice are due to the author deliberately or unwittingly putting a Christian spin on it, or indeed, whether they were just making shit up.

The similarities between the two sets of practices have been exaggerated or misrepresented by Christian writers who were bent for prefiguration theology (i.e., the idea that the Bible echoes backwards in time and pre-Christian religious practices were unwittingly imitating future Christian practices).

The similarities between the two sets of practices have been exaggerated or misrepresented by Protestant writers who believe that all Pagan deities are Satan in disguise, so they think that if they can prove that Catholic practices are secretly Pagan in origin, that proves that Catholics are secretly Satanists.

The similarities between the two sets of practices have been exaggerated or misrepresented by overzealous mythographers trying to prove that all mythology and religion throughout all of human history is secretly a single unified monomyth; if it's pre-Victorian, expect shades of prefiguration theology, while if it's post-Victorian, expect a lot of stuff about the Collective Unconscious.

A bunch of 19th Century proto-Fascists were trying to construct a pre-Jewish cultural identity (and considered Christianity to be tainted by association), but didn't want to give up any of the fun rituals, so they made some shit up about how it was still okay to do Christmas because something something Odin, or whatever.

A bunch of early 20th Century Pagan reconstructionists filled in the gaps in their understanding of pre-Christian ritual with culturally Christian assumptions, then turned around and pointed at their own accidentally Christianised reconstructions as evidence that Christian practices are derived from them.

A bunch of late 20th Century self-help manual authors tried to break into the occult bookstore market by uncritically repeating any or all of the above.

Someone on the Internet just made it up.

i think the idea of buying a newly-pressed vinyl record is. fully insane. but i also know that if they didn't make them then turntables would be really hard to find and i couldn't play my old ones so i guess im glad they do it. but also i cannot imagine paying $30+ for a new vinyl record when there's literally thousands of older ones sitting in thrift stores for $5 and tons of them are by artists i've never even heard of. like hello??? there is a massive pile of treasure sitting right there and most people are just ignoring it
