Welcome to Colin's JamJar!

crackin' the top off of colin's proverbial preserves

Hey y’all,

Heard Substack is where its at, so here we go:

Welcome! JamJar is a weekly celebration of vinyl collections — yours, mine, artists’, and whoever the hell else will talk with me about the records that remain near and dear to that little sonic sphere within their souls.

I don’t give a hoot how many records you have or don’t have, this blog is about music appreciation and its most visual, personalized, history-wracked form (imo).

So, before we get this show on the road, here’s what you can expect from smushing that SUBSCRIBE button:

1. Weekly playlists ("songs from the shelf" or “SFTS”) compiled from the vinyl on my shelf, or whoever’s shelf is being featured:)

2. Personal essays, factoids, Q&As, guest posts, and investigative pursuits(!)

3. Record shop shoutouts

4. Back-and-forths with you (tell me your thoughts, your habits and your secrets, please and thank you)

5. A whole lotta self-indulging (only-child vibes)

If you think you can handle all that, then I invite YOU to join ME in a proper introduction: cue the musique!
