Nice! cheers for the shout out! that rita mitsouko is a classic.

So, the post-easter mail all arrived on the same day. I got a fabulous T-shirt from @imtheocean (see his vinyl challenge thread) and a couple record boxes. Three in fact :oops: . Thank goodness I'm the only one home, this would require some explaining, considering boxes arrived last week too...

Gift from @imtheocean has arrived! This T-shirt is gorgeous! Seriously, beyond being a kick-ass music t-shirt, something I already regularly wear, I absolutely love the color and material. Fantastic!

Day 22 - Earth Day is 4/22 - spin a record on recycled vinyl or one with a earth related image on its cover. Daniel Bélanger "Quatre Saisons Dans Le Désordre" (1996 Audiogram; 2021 reissue) I'm going to stretch this prompt a bit and go with this album, which has an overarching environmental...

P.S. It's an excellent entry in the Jazz Dispensary series. Completely different from the others. I really like the soul-jazz-funk of everything they've done so far (reminds me of the old Pulp Fusion series I loved so much), but this smooth evening jazz entry hits the spot. Sets a great mellow...

They sent them all to Canada :ROFLMAO:

That's so odd. I had the completely opposite experience. It was probably the easiest of my wantlist to find. Picked it up at my first stop and saw it again at the next two shops I went to on RSD.

Day 21 - Band / Song that you heard played at a record store or anywhere in public, or one that you’ve had stuck in your head recently. Feist "Let It Die" (2004 Arts & Craft; 2018 club reissue) When I decided I was going to do a Canadian month, I looked through my collection to inventory what I...

Day 20 - It’s 4/20. Spin a release by an artist known to partake, a song that mentions smoking or a record that has smoke in its cover art Bran Van 3000 "Glee" (1997 Audiogram; 2018 reissue) "Mama don't smoke that much dope, don't you worry about me" sings Montreal's James Di Salvio on Bran Van...

There's hope, but this is way early in the rebuild to have expectations. But everything is gravy now for these guys.

Day 19 - Spin any soundtrack - tv or film Cinephonic "Les Paradis Artificiels" (2021 Cinephonic) Ok, answering this prompt was difficult with my self-imposed Canadiana theme and what i have in my collection. I could have veered towards artists with songs that appeared in film (like Leonard...

For Canadians: Warner Canada has a 20% off code (20easter) plus free shipping on orders over $100. It's a good time to pick-up those Rhino Hi Fi's you may want.

Day 18 - Spin any record by an artist that you have not yet seen live but want to Badbadnotgood "III" (2014 Innovative Leisure; 2023 reissue) To paraphrase Ren & Stimpy's Log ads, "they're better than bad, they're good!". The Toronto jazz band was somewhat unique when they hit the scene in 2010...

Day 17 - Great live performance / recording Sloan "Alive & Alright" (2023 Murderecords) Maritimes represent! Sloan was formed in Nova Scotia in 1991. They started during the alternative era, but by keeping true to their almost-Beatles-esque songwriting abilities, were able to distinguish...

The youngest team ever to have qualified for a playoff spot. What a great thing for the rebuild! Only expectation now is 4 more games, everything else is a bonus.

Day 16 - The Temple of the Dog album is released on April 16, 1991. Spin any supergroup or collaboration, a song that is a tribute to another artist, or any artist who appeared at a tribute concert. Trans-Canada Highwaymen "Explosive hits Vol. 1" (2023 Pheromone Recordings) This one has been a...

I have nothing to compare to, so for whatever it's worth, it sounds really nice. The mastering is detailed and clean, probably as good as could be for a live recording. Sounds like a MOFI? This is my 4th Miles MOFI and I've enjoyed them all so far.

That Baby Huey record is fire. I have the ROG version which is pretty decent, but this will be tempting if done well. EDIT: The ROG was also cut by Bellman.

Day 15 - It’s tax day in the US. Spin any record or song that mentions taxes or money / finances or a record on the IRS label Daniel Romano's Outfit "Too Hot To Sleep" (2024 You've Changed Records) Southern Ontario's Daniel Romano normally plays a mish mash of countrified folk rock with...
