第十三天： cleaning cleaning we all love cleaning

Pacific breeze 2



Upbeat groovy the type of music you end up dancing with your vacuum to.

Day 10 - puberty - Play an album that takes you back to your teenage years

Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back.

Probably my favorite album of all time. Listened to this so much in high school, constant turning over of the cassette. Not sure it bothered the parents, as it was usually in my car away from them as loud as possible. Definitely wasn't up their alley though.

Saturday (13) – National Weed Your Garden Day, play something you listen to while cleaning

Taylor Swift - Red


I love listening to pop music while I clean, something that will have me bouncing around the apartment as I dust. Taylor Swift definitely fits the bill!

Day 11 - Hype up a bassist or keyboardist that doesn't get enough credit

I'll do both. Brothers Phil Cook and Brad Cook are the keyboard and bass players for Hiss Golden Messenger, and are involved in multiple other projects. You can find one or both playing or recording in varied projects from Bon Iver, Megafaun, DeYarmond Edison, Gayngs, The Shouting Matches, Phil's solo albums, Blind Boys of Alabama, Frazey Ford, and super involved with showcases at Newport Folk Fest. Both are entertaining and enjoying themselves on stage, which I love. If I see either name on an album, I check it out.

Day 13 - Cleaning
Kurt Vile - Smoke Ring For My Halo

I actually did a few hours of yard work today, but I don't usually listen to music when I'm outside. I like to listen to music when I clean but don't usually think any harder about what to choose than whatever I'm in the mood for. This was my wife's choice.

Lafayette Afro-Rock Band - Malik

Funk is the only option for me here. I need something propulsive. Flipping more than once isn't an option either.

Day 13: Weed your garden day, play something you listen to while cleaning

I like to put on some jazz while doing the chores.
This is a killer J-Jazz comp

Day 13 - National weed your garden day

I stopped reading after weed . But no, I really do tend to listen to hip hop when cleaning/working outside. I think because I can still hear the beats if I’m vacuuming or otherwise making noise.

DAY 13 - WEEDING THE GARDEN

I actually was mulching this morning, then did some house cleaning. I was listening to a lot of Lush, having been inspired by watching old episodes of 120 Minutes at night before bed.
However, I don't own any Lush vinyl, sadly
This is relevant to the era and, though more muted, still amazing dream-pop. I can't say enough nice things about this album.

Day 13: National Weed Your Garden Day

Whenever I clean I usually just put my earbuds in and play something random on Spotify. So I decided to pull today’s pick from the Discogs randomizer and this was the first record I got...

Van Morrison - Veedon Fleece

 

[mudketeer]

Day 12 - Cocaine: Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady

 

[4080]

Day 13 - Cleaning up the Garden



Joyce "Tardes Cariocas"

I really love this record, it's great to just throw on and float around the house cleaning and dancing along like no one is watching... I wish I had a garden!

Sunday (14) – Middle East, play a record that highlights music from the Middle East

Tamino "Amir"

Tamino is a singer from Belgium, who has Egyptian roots. His album is really beautiful. Throughout the album, Tamino is joined by a collective of Arabic musicians based in Brussels called Nagham Zikrayat an orchestra predominantly made up of professional musicians from the Middle East, most of whom are refugees that fled Iraq and Syria.

Day 14: Music from the Middle East

Integrating sampled vocals and found sounds of African and Middle Eastern rhythms.

Brian Eno - David Byrne ‎– My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts
Sire ‎– SRK 6093, 1981

Cut by Greg Calbi at Sterling
Pressed at Capitol, Winchester

 

[Poly-Rythmo]

Day 13 - cleaning

The Classic Jackie Wilson

I like to boogie while I vacuum and this would be good enough with the glory that is Reet Petite. But it also contains what I reckon is the most perfect song ever - (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher. Gorgeous.

Sunday (14) – Middle East, play a record that highlights music from the Middle East

Flamenco, the music from Andalucía in Spain, has lots of Middle Eastern influence.
This is N&G AotM Vol. 4 from October 2019, picked by @agutierrezb . Write-up




The whole album is fantastic but, these are my favorite tracks:
