Day 15: Clean Out Your Fridge Day - Play something that'd get you motivated for the task. Also, major bonus points if you actually do clean out your fridge (pics or it didn't happen). Grace Jones - Slave to the Rhythm It's not like I've done anything today, on this particularly nasty, rainy...

Funnily enough, this is what I used to clean house to!

Day 14: Every Other Day Is A-hole Day? If there's a special kindness day, I guess that means every other day is asshole day. Play something from a noted asshole. Bonus points if they've been an asshole to you personally 😂. Chet Baker, Art Pepper - Playboys I kind of have a problem with this...

Day 13: World Kindness Day Play an album from an artist known for their kindness/generosity. Bonus points if they've been kind to you personally. Kamasi Washington - The Epic Kamasi Washington played at the Casa da Musica in 2016, a set of the most blistering intensity. Afterwards, he...

Day 12: Still Fresh Play an album that came out this year. Lizzo- Cuz I Love You Ok,ok, don't jump all over me, I know this actually came out last year, and this disc is not even mine, it belongs to my Daughter! It's just the latest thing I've got in the house, (note to self - maybe move out...

Day 11: Veteran's Day If you know a veteran, play an album in their honor. Or, play an album from an artist who served. Elgar Symphony No2 - Barbirolli/ Hallë Orchestra OK, this one had me scratching my head a bit...the only thing I could come up with was that my Dad had done his national...

Day 10: And Now for Something Completely Different...Pt. II This a continuation of @Gavaxeman 's theme from September. Pick an album and show off some memorabilia related to it! del amitri - del amitri I spent a bit of time with del amitri in the period leading up and just after this album...

Day 9: Great Lyrics Play an album that's notable for its great lyrics. Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly I can't possibly do justice to how fast and fleeting these lyrics snatch up impressions and turn them into sounds. This is a high water mark, as far as I'm concerned.

Day 8: Sound-Track Sunday Play an album that includes a track that's prominently featured in a film soundtrack. Curtis Mayfield - Soundtrack to the Movie Super Fly. This is kind of not fulfilling the assignment, as it's an entire soundtrack and not just one track, but this disc is never off...

If you mean the hand hoover it has an attachment on it called the vinylvac that's supposed to suck the dust out of the grooves of records. As a lot of my collection is either old, or second hand, or both, I find it quite useful, particularly as it cost about 20 bucks and my skates remain cheap!

Day 7: Midwest Represent Play an album from an act that originated in one of the midwestern US states. Rahsaan Roland Kirk - We Free Kings Hailing from Columbus Ohio Rahsaan Roland Kirk was one of the great originals. There's still a lot of his output that I'm still looking for and when I...

Day 6: Adolphe Sax's Birthday Play an album that features the saxophone. There were so many artists I wanted to feature for this one, but at the end it has to be Parker. The whole adventure in music of my life really starts here. This is the most recently purchased of my Parker collection...

Day 5: Guy Fawkes Day Play an album by a revolutionary artist. There are so many to choose from, but I don't have much Berlioz on vinyl. There's the sound of this music and there's also the stark look of the cover, like a gauntlet thrown down. This was certainly a record that made a lot of...

Oh My God I Love This¨!!!!!

Just a sincerely heartfelt prayer at this time...

Day 3: Election Day 🇺🇸 Play an album that's quintessentially American Spinning this, which took the European art form of Dada and the French school of composing that went from Berlioz to Debussy to Varese, and made it typically American. This album sounds as new and shocking today as it did in...

No. It is David Bowie, as in David Live. I kind of thought with the American election it would be pertinent to put up a UK artist who discovered a different stage of his development in the US and Side two starts with a reallz laid back version of Ch, Ch, Ch. Ch. Changes, Geddit?

OK, here's day 2 with the election anticipation record. One of the things that happens when you collect vinyl is that you get contacted by friends who want their old record collections cleared out. I had such a case recently where I managed to re-distribute a lot of things ( you can't keep all...

Ok. Day 1 has to be "A Love Supreme" , but the slightly less often heard 1965 live version. The picture has to be this one of him laughing: there's so many of him looking serious, but he must have had a laugh. This isn't an obvious choice for the day of the dead, when I listen to this album, I...
