Day 18 -- Wrath/Envy My go-to album when I'm angry. Denzel Curry - ZUU

Day 17 - Payday "Surrounded by some millionaires/And I know I'ma be one when I walk off/ Feel like I can be a trillionaire" Future - High Off Life

Day 16 - 80s A GOAT of 80s jazz, with a unique sound that seems to be popular in any decade. Herbie Hancock - Mr. Hands

Day 15 - Africa Constantly astonished by the stories of Moses Sumney teaching himself to sing by listening to Fergie and Beyonce while his family lived in Ghana as missionaries. Moses Sumney - græ

Day 14 - G.O.A.T. So I firmly believe Pain is not only a GOAT of rap/Hip-Hop but of music history. His use of auto-tune was a brilliant choice and music of all genres wouldn't sound the same without his influence. Definitely on my "music Mt. Rushmore." T-Pain - Epiphany

Day 13 - Synthesizer Bon Iver put out a multi-instrumental masterpiece with this album that prominently featured synth and autotune and is (in my opinion) a musical masterpiece. Bon Iver - 22, A Million

Day 12 - Motivational I love Cudi and the way he talks about mental health and his struggles with it, and, over the past few years, "Reborn" has become an anthem for me when I need to pull myself out of hard times, both emotional and situational. Kids See Ghosts - Kids See Ghosts

Day 11 - Sloth Nothing like a lil' video game remix to just lay down and nap while spinning. Mikel - Zelda & Chill

Day 10 - Party My parties tend to be low-key these days and Hud Dreems epitomizes those "relax & sip" vibes. Knxwledge -- Hud Dreems

Day 9 - 70s Using this day to spin the second of my Nina albums. Nina Simone -- A Very Rare Evening

Day 8 - South America This was my first Blue Note record I purchased and its stellar. Charlie Rouse -- Bossa Nova Bacchanal

Day 7 - Sports Queen -- The Game

Day 6 — Strings I’m a sucker for classical music, and one day I’d love to own a nice pressing of the Bach Cello Suite in G Major, but until then, I’ll just be a nerd and relive Empire. John Williams (performed by the National Philharmonic Orchestra) — The Empire Strikes Back Symphonic Suite

Day 5 — Love So I have a list of songs that are candidates for a “first dance” at a wedding and “Full Moon in Gemini” is definitely one of those. Vagabon — Vagabon

Day 4 — Lust Again, no story. There’s literally a skit called “#!*@ Me” though and it’s the only song in my collection that I won’t play for just anybody. The Notorious B.I.G. — Ready to Die

Day 3 — Happy Hour Soul music is great with a beer or whiskey on a Friday evening, and for me, Nina is the G.O.A.T. (Sorry Aretha). Realistically I could make any of my Nina Simone albums fit most themes this month, and I’ll start with this one on day 3. Nina Simone — Nina Simone Sings the Blues

Day 2 — 60s No story today, just obsessed with “The Soul Queen of New Orleans” and how criminally underrated/unknown she is. Irma Thomas — Wish Someone Would Care

Day 1 — Asia Looking through some of the posts, I was reminded (yet again) that Iran and Iraq are indeed on the Asian continent. Absolutely love Miller’s mastery of blending Western, Southern, & East Asian instruments and styles with American Jazz to create something new. Lloyd Miller —...
