Day 6 - National Frozen Yogurt Day - Play something that's a quality substitute for the real thing. De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising Some of the original samples have been removed in this reissue. But I’m just glad they were able to obtain the rights to their own music.

Day 3 - National Golden Retriever Day - Play a record that you keep coming back to, like that retriever endlessly chasing the ball. Charli XCX - BRAT My most spun record from 2024 by far. I don’t see myself getting tired of it anytime soon.

Been out of the loop with VMP for a while. Holy shit things have really fallen apart. No monthly ROTM? What’s the point of being a member? A discount in the store and “free shipping”? Makes me sad. I subbed to VMP around the same time I started collecting (late 2019) and was introduced to a...

Day 2 - Groundhog Day - Play a cover song. Waylon Jennings - Music Man Contains a cover of the Kenny Rogers song “Sweet Music Man”.

Day 1 - Black History Month - Play something by a Black artist, something that has influenced your listening over the years. Haven’t been listening to records as much lately, but I could use a distraction from the madness that’s been going on in my country. Stevie Wonder - Talking Book

I listened to it last night and had a similar reaction lol.

This album is great and one that I’d really like to have. Not for nearly $60 though.

Welp. This makes me even happier with my decision to cancel yesterday! I’ve got Rocket to Russia (hopefully), Brown Sugar and the gospel set coming and then that is it. See ya, VMP.

Mine was pretty warped too. I have a replacement on the way…

I didn’t get this one, but I’m stoked for the Albert King coming up in this series.

Absolutely. It’s kind of interesting and worthy of preservation IMO. But for $40+? Nah.

Day 28 / 2024.S7.E28 - Handcrafted Souvenirs (手仕込みお土産) Play a record that you received as a gift. If that hasn’t happened, play a record that you purchased with money received from a holiday/birthday. The Cure - The Head on the Door This was a birthday gift from my girlfriend last year. We got...

Day 27 / 2024.S7.E27 - Easy to Drink and Never Gets Boring (飲みやすく飲み飽きない) Play a record that you can play front to back multiple times in one day and not have an urge to switch. Don Blackman - Don Blackman A solid soul/funk album that I can easily listen to on repeat.

Day 26 / 2024.S7.E26 - Someday the Dream Will End (いつか夢は終わる) Play a record that features eye-catching (subjective, of course) artwork. Baroness - Purple

Day 25 / 2024.S7.E25 - A City That Never Sleeps (寝ない都市) Play a record that could be appropriate in a lounge setting for late night hours. The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Gone With the Wind

Day 24 / 2024.S7.E24 - Dessert for Breakfast (朝食にデザート) Play a record that you view as top10 in a genre/subgenre all time. Neil Young - After the Gold Rush I’d say this is a top 10 record in the folk rock genre.
