Catch Up! (Part 1) JULY 22 CHILL OUT Play something relaxing Aloha -- Little Windows Cut Right Through This one is pretty dreamy. I had never heard them until I got this one in a mystery pack and I'm definitely a fan now. JULY 23 UNCHARTED TERRITORY Play an album where the artist was...

Agreed, I saw someone mention Aceyalone in a Reddit thread I think and I listened to him for the first time and I was blown away... Something like that would be awesome

JULY 21 HIP HOP HOORAY Play a rap/hip-hop album Freddie Gibbs/Curren$y/The Alchemist -- Fetti Gangsta Gibbs and Spitta Andretti were made for Alchemist beats. One of my favorites... This is always good for a quick listen.

Catch up time! JULY 17 LET THE MUSIC DO THE TALKING Play something instrumental Joe Thomas/Hot Lips Page/Charlie Shavers -- Tootin' Through the Roof: Volume 1 Just some horn based Jazz that's mostly instrumental... I don't have (m)any fully instrumental albums lol JULY 18 POETRY IN MOTION...

JULY 15 GO IT ALONE Solo album by someone from a previously established band Peter Tosh -- Mama Africa Formerly of Bob Marley & The Wailers, Tosh put out some pretty great records after his time with Marley, including this one. July 16 UNPOLISHED PRODUCTION Play something lo-fi Dead Moon...

JULY 14 😍 Play an album about/with a lot of songs about love Squeeze -- Cool For Cats This album seriously has it all... Self-love (Touching Me Touching You), tragic love story (Up The Junction), young love full of innuendo (Slap and Tickle), and many more... I think every song on here is...

JULY 13 MONDAY THE 13TH Play an album with thirteen tracks UGK -- Ridin' Dirty I was surprised at how long it took me to find an album I had with 13 songs...

JULY 12 THANKS, TIPPER GORE Play an album with a parental advisory sticker YG -- My Krazy Life Like I always say... the bigger the parental advisory sticker, the more fun the album is!

JULY 11 -- Still catching up... TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW Sophomore album after a critically acclaimed/successful debut album The B-52's -- Wild Planet Their S/T debut is a certified classic, but Wild Planet is nothing to scoff at. It definitely builds upon what they did in their first release.

I meant to post this a little while ago, but if any of y'all are enjoying Prince Among Thieves, I suggest you check out the Horror City Demo EP. Big Sha, who voices True on PAT, is one of the members. Prince Paul tried to shop the group in the mid-90s but couldn't get them signed. A bunch of...

JULY 10 BON APPETIT Play an album that makes you think of food Fat Boys -- S/T Considering that Jail House Rap is basically about going to jail for being too hungry... I think this one is pretty self-explanatory.

Catching up! JULY 9 JUST GIVE IT TIME An album that grew on you The Clash - Combat Rock I know it's pretty well regarded, but I could never get into this album until recently. I think aside from the singles it was never as "immediate" as some of their other work to me, and it took time for me...

Definitely didn't get the exact reference but I'm very happy knowing that this is a thing

Even though they sound like garbage cans... (...Yes, I like them too)

JULY 8 OOH, PRETTY Your favorite variant/color vinyl Goldlink - Diaspora One of my favorite rap albums in 2019. I really like the color coordination of the vinyl to the album cover on this one.

JULY 7 (catch up) SORRY FOR THE WAIT An artist you wish would release new music Spoon - Gimme Fiction Shout out to @LeSamourai for the album! To me, Spoon is a staple of modern rock, and any release by them is always appreciated. Last album was Hot Thoughts back in 2017.

JULY 6 ONE HIT WONDERLAND Play an album by a one hit wonder Tommy Tutone - Tommy Tutone 2 867-5309/Jenny starts the album off great. Probably for the best that it was the first song on the album.

Part of me almost hopes that comes back into style cuz that'd be my hair if I grew it out long enough.

JULY 5 -- catching up DIFFERENT STROKES A widely disliked or divisive album that you personally love The Romantics - S/T I'm not sure how it was received back in the 80s but in the scheme of new wave I never hear the Romantics mentioned much at all aside from "What I Like About You". But this...
