Day 30: One Month To Go
Play an album that's helped you get through 2020.
Charles Mingus- The Great Concert of Charles Mingus
This last one is difficult as well... if I narrow it down to what have I spun the most in the terrible year of 2020, what I have I walked home hearing in my head and...
Day 29: Treat Yo'self
A lot's happened this month, and you just made it through the holidays in a pandemic. Play something just for you, even if it annoys those around you.
National Health - Of Queues and Cures.
Day 28: Christmastime
Okay, you're in the clear, it's that time of year - play a Christmas album
Wir Warten auf's Christkind - Die Roten Rosen
OK. I thought I was going to draw a complete blank here, then I remembered if we go over to CD's for a moment I DO have the Christmas CD from the...
Day 27: Black Friday
Play something you got in a Black Friday sale or for Black Friday RSD.
Miles Davis -Double Image
Well....! I bought this on black friday, but it's a Christmas present for a mate of mine, so I can't open it and spin it!
Day 26: Thanksgiving
What are you thankful for? Express it with music.
Return To Forever - Where Have I known You Before?
What am I thankful for? I'm thankful for things like this forum that can bring people together. I'm thankful for all your posts, which have shown me a great eclectic...
Day 25: Turkey Bowl
Play something that'd be a great soundtrack to playing a game with friends (this could be any sport or a board game if sports aren't your thing).
The Fall - The Frenz Experiment
This one had me scratching my head a bit, until I thought "with Friends..."
Day 24: Changing Weather
Play something appropriate for the changing weather in your part of the world (colder for some, warmer for others).
Weather Report - Sweetnighter
Oh Man, gotta get in first with this one! This is the last WR record I've bought, with Miroslav Vitous. I didn't know this...
Day 23: A Classic Monday
Play a classical music LP. Don't have one? Play an undisputed classic
Franz Liszt - Eine Faust-Sinfonie
Klaus Koenig, Rundfunkchor Leipzig, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Kurt Masur.
This took a lot of choosing, but the orchestra that I'm in was supposed to play this in...
I put it on B side first, because I MUST have played the A side at one stage or another, and found it quite tuneful despite somebody (maybe Larry?) singing his wife's rather dubious poetry on one track. If anzbody jumps up and down shouting Memememe! I daresay I'll part with it, otherwise I...
Day 22: PIFsgiving Prep
Find an album that doesn't get many spins. Play it. If it hits the spot, great! If it doesn't, and you so choose, head on over to the PIF thread and send it to a new home.
Larry Coryell - The Lion & The Ram
Thanks for explaining to me what a PIF is! Somehow, this...
Day 21: Younger You
Now, play an album that younger you is responsible for.
Heaven 17 - Penthouse & Pavement
Back in the day, it was all about Jazz so anything else was always a tape copy. This is, therefore a vinyl copy that I picked up to show my kids something about censorship. This cover...
