Day 6: “Box Set Weekend pt 2”...and tomorrow ..choose another if you made a bad choice yesterday.
Beat Happening - We Are Beat Happening
Beat Happening - Jamboree
My choice for Saturday wasn’t bad at all but I wanted to listen to other stalwart of the local Oly scene too.

Day 7: “Mini maxi “ play a Mini lp or maxi single/EP type thing
Hüsker Dü - Metal Circus
This EP was the first indication that the Dü were more than just another (albeit very good) Hardcore band. Metal Circus cracked opened the door for the greatness that followed with their run of 4 classic LPs.

Day 5: “Box Set Weekend pt 1”
My internet has been down pretty much since Thurs night so I’m playing catch-up now
U2- Joshua Tree anniversary box set. I bought this solely for the 2 LP pressing of the 9.28.87
show at Madison Square Garden, which was my third U2 gig. Have had an audience recording bootleg of it for years, but was thrilled to get it on wax.

Day 6: “Box Set Weekend pt 2”
Chris Cornell - Deluxe box set. Wouldn’t buy this when it was originally released because of strong feelings I have about Chris’s widow and her money grabbing lawsuits, so when a used copy appeared at my fave local store with all but one LP sealed, I snatched it up. Was in attendance at the Beacon Theatre show where “One“ was recorded.

Day 6 - Box Set Part 2
Led Zeppelin - How the West Was Won
I grew up listening to The Song Remains the Same and some bootleg live LPs so I was pretty excited to finally grab a boxset of this newer release of live Zep. It's pretty good overall, nice selection of songs. And just when I didn't think I wanted to hear yet another version of Whole Lotta Love, there's a pretty sweet one on here.
Drum note
My biggest inspiration as a young drummer was Bonzo, no question. He was my teacher - I'd slide the stereo speakers to each side of my kit, run over and drop the needle, turn it way up, and sit down and play along to so much of their catalog...to the best of my ability anyway. Bonham is definitely my favorite rock drummer ever.

Ok it’s 22:45UK time and I’ve had 2 night of terrible quality sleep. I can’t stay awake any longer.
So with that I’m rule breaking - Day 8 just got a quick spin....

Day 7
Economy Plays
The first time I saw Punch Brothers Live was in Boone. Aoife O’Donovan opened that evening which my introduction to her, then they started their set with Another New World, the first track here. I’ve been a fan if Josh Ritter since. Bought the CD version of Aoife’s Fossils and this that evening.
Punch Brothers - Ahoy!

Have I missed a UK / US translation divide or have you gone thru life believing EP stands for Economy play ?
Edit : Would make for a fun discussion actually.

Day 7: “Mini maxi “ play a Mini lp or maxi single/EP type thing
Tears for Fears - Ready Boys & Girls?
This is a fantastic little 10” of Tears for Fears covering Animal Collective, Arcade Fire, and Hot Chip. The band really took the source material and made it their own, they are both unique and faithful covers at the same time.
This record is pretty cheap in Discogs and highly recommended for fans of any of the four bands involved

Day 7 - EP
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Blue Record
I bought this thinking it was their new album at the time (II) so imagine my surprise when I open it and find out it’s an EP on a single-sided 12”.

Smashing Pumpkins - The Aeroplane Flies High
How about a box of 5 maxi singles from one of the most epic album recording sessions ever?

These themes have been making me rip open some shrink wrap. This particular one was a blind buy: 2 dollar base price discounted further with a likely expired coupon on the inside from an artist I do like. Let's roll.
Mandolin Orange - Golden Embers / John Hess
