The Jon Olen Collection

Fell in love with @ripelove at a @phillyglove concert a few years back and have made it to a couple shows since. They’re always one of the first bands I recommend when people are looking for something new. #BrightBlues is a perfect example of how perfect they all come together. Give them a listen if you haven’t already! #vinyl #vinylcollection #ripe #recordcollection #vinyljunkie #goodvibesonly #funk #soul #thathornsectiontho

This was a big one for me this #recordstoreday . I was lucky enough to be at this concert with @allornonegirl in Boston. My first time seeing @fleetfoxes . I’ll admit, I only knew a handful of songs, but this was a tremendous experience I can now forever cherish on vinyl form. I’ll also remember the man who stood behind me that was celebrating his birthday. I sat for a while so he could see the band. If you’re somehow reading this, I hope you know you’re forever part of my memory of this amazing concert! #vinyl #fleetfoxes #liveonbostonharbor #recordcollection #vinylcollection #records #livemusic #memories #bestfriends #happybirthday #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords

Little Saturday morning vinyl spins during breakfast. Coffee is made, French toast cooked, juice poured, and Dave Grohl singing us to the start of a great day. #BigMe #FooFighters #vinyl #classics #vinylcollection #recordcollection #vinylrecords

Spinning #rhythmandrepose by @glenhansard during this Friday evening. One of his many front-to-back perfect albums. #vinyl #acoustic #chillvibes #recordcollection #vinylcollection #masterpiece #glenhansard

Originally released in 2020 on streaming services, #MusicForSilence quickly became a staple of my rotation. You may know him as #NickMurphy or @chetfaker , but I know him as one of my favorite artists of this generation, and this album is no different. Limited to 500 copies and hand numbered, this was a must have from the second it was announced. The USPS took it on a little trip to Puerto Rico, but it’s here now in all its glory! #vinyl #chetfaker #vinylcollection #limitededition #recordcollector #vinylcollector #piano #mellowvibes

With @bostoncalling coming up next week, today seems like the perfect time to start spinning some bands I’m excited to see on Saturday! This new @khruangbin album #ALaSala is nothing short of perfection and should be spun when you’re happy, sad, angry, confused, or just awake in general. #vinyl #recordcollection #bostoncalling #khruangbin #vinylcollection #recordcollector #thatcolortho

Spinning a little #TempleoftheDog this Friday. This version is the 2013 reissue, limited edition and numbered on purple vinyl. While all the hits are always phenomenal, “Pushin’ Forward Back” will always be my favorite. Was fortunate enough to see @chriscornellofficial a few times in various forms; @soundgarden , solo acoustic, and with @pearljam at #PJ20 . #vinyl #fridayvibes #reachdown #sayhello2heaven #hungerstrike #recordcollection #vinylcollection #grunge #90s #chriscornell #pearljam

Congratulations to @frankturner for not only releasing one hell of a solid record this month in #Undefeated , but also for selling out #Show3000 at @yourallypally this coming February! @meganetoile and I will be making the trip from Massachusetts to see you there, but we’ll be spinning this from now until then (and after) while we also wait for #BostonCalling and #LostEveningsVII . #vinyl #punk #folk #vinylcollection #recordcollection #frankturner #afterworkvibes

It’s coming up on @frankturner season in our home as we await the Deluxe edition of #Undefeated . Frank’s new album that is nothing short of phenomenal. We’re preparing for #BostonCalling in a couple weeks, #LostEvenings in Toronto in September, and secured our tickets for Show 3,000 in London in February. I’ll admit I had no idea who Frank was until @meganetoile and I started dating, but in that time she’s shared with me her love of this man’s art, we’ve seen him 5 times together (if you count all 4 nights of Lost Evenings 6 in Anaheim like I do), and continue to make memories around his music every day. In September, I’ll be sharing my love of Pearl Jam with her at Fenway right before we head to Toronto for #LEVII . (6 shows total in 8 days!) This is, Tape Deck Heart. The first album I fell in love with when Megan introduced me. Happy to have it in the collection, and might have to buy multiple copies of if I spin this as many times as I want to. #vinyl #vinylcollection #recordcollection #recordstoreday #frankturner #tapedeckheart #recovery #ijustwannadance

I’ve never done this, but when the new @ironandwinetour album #LightVerse was announced, I preordered it and didn’t listen to a second of it, and kept it that way until it showed up on my doorstep today. This album is exactly what you’d expect from a musical genius like Sam Beam. Do yourself a favor and check this out ASAP. This is the LOSER edition - blue speckled (and gorgeous might I add). #vinyl #vinyljunkie #recordcollection #recordcollector #acoustic #thursdayvibes #vinylcollection #uturnaudio

Seeing @officialfilter live was one of my fondest memories. They opened for @stpband when Chester was the front man, and the entire place was electric from the very beginning to the very end. Meeting Richard Patrick that night was just as amazing. Such a great guy (wish I could find the pic we took together). When I saw #TheVeryBestThings on the #RecordStoreDay list, I knew it was coming home with me, and I’m so happy it’s now a staple of my ever growing collection. #vinyl #recordcollection #recordcollector #90s #rock #tuesdayvibes #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords

“Jon, are we still going through your #RecordStoreDay haul?!” We sure are! Next up is @collectivesoul , a band I’ve criminally only seen live once. I went from knowing a handful of songs, to buying their entire catalog on iTunes that weekend (this was years ago), and now I’m excited to add this lemonade beauty to my collection. #Dosage #Heavy #Run #vinyl #25thanniversary #90s #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollection
