Oh man, I just realised that I only mentioned albums, as opposed to specific mixtape tracks in a bunch of my posts. I hope everyone finds it in their heart to forgive me. The issues have now been remedied.

Ya, physical copies of Mononeon albums are either: impossible to get, sold out, or way to expensive with shipping costs :(

Day 31 – The Final Countdown To close out the year, play an album with a track that you feel is a great mixtape/playlist closer. I'm SUPER HAPPY to close this mixtape with Low Rawl's "Groovy People" from his album "All Things In Time".

Day 30 – Holding Out For A Hero Play your favorite album of 2022. I love MonoNeon's 2022 album "Put on Earth for You". And I especially love the track "All Hands on Deck (Break Yo Neck)" because it features Declaime (who used to be called Dudley Perkins).

Just saw this at an arcade. Made me think of the spin challenge.

Day 29 – (I Ran) So Far Away Play some 80’s music. Or play something by an artist with a crazy hairdo. The Elvin Jones album "Earth Jones" is one of his best from the 80s (1982). I'm playing one of my favourite Elvin standards, "Three Card Molly". In addition to Elvin, this album has...

Oh, so it's newer music, like recorded after Jaco died?

My ear isn't perfect, but is it possible Jaco Pastorius is playing bass on this track?

Day 28 – (Don’t Fear) The Reaper Play something heavy. This Coltrane Complete Sun Ship Box Set is heavy music in both a literal sense and an emotional sense. I'm putting "Amen [Take 1]" on my mixtape.

Day 27 – Hidden Track Play something popular that you never tire of hearing. I never listened to The Cranberries back in the 90s, but now I love them. I'm listening to "Zombie" of course, from their album "No Need To Argue".

Day 26 – Everybody Have Fun Tonight Play something to Wang Chung to. Playing "1999" by Charli XCX on her album, "Charli".

Day 25 – Guardians Inferno I declare that Christmas is David Hasselhoff day this year! Play something somehow related to David Hasselhoff. Or play whatever you want. Anything goes. Most people don't realise that David Hasselhoff had a successful secondary career as a studio bass player on many...

Day 24 – Flash Light Play something festive! What What! Happy 7th night of CHANUKAH! My family's celebrating with this jem: "Latkes And Hamentashen" by Jackie Cytrynbaum and Fran Avni. I'm putting the track "Antiochus" on my mix, mostly because my wife said it freaked her out when she was a...

Day 23 – Father & Son Play something old that you enjoy. I think this is the oldest record I have: "Shelly Manne & his Friends" (1956), and I'm putting "Stars Fell on Alabama" on my mixtape.

Day 22 – Surrender Play something you first heard from your parents or a relative *or* play something you introduced your children to. My parents played the Third World album "Journey To Addis" all the time when I was growing up. I'm putting the track "Cold Sweat" on my mixtape.

Day 21 – Wham Bang Sham-A-Lang Play something with an onomatopoeia. Playing the song "Zip" from the Sam Rivers album "Contrasts" (with George E. Lewis - trombone; Dave Holland - bass; and Thurman Barker - drums, marimba).

Day 20 – Come A Little Bit Closer Press play and restart the music in the café. Play something you’d hear in whatever type of café you’d be in. I once heard the Ray Brown Trio played in a Starbucks. I want to go back to that moment. Here's my favourite Ray Brown album "3 Dimensional". P.S...
