I saw a great NERD live show in London where they brought out Timberlake for a few songs from this, as well as their In Search Of material and other hits. Was actually v cool

Day 21 - Band / Song that you heard played at a record store or anywhere in public, or one that you’ve had stuck in your head recently Talking Heads - Live On Tour '78 I wasn't sure whether to get any RSD stuff but heard this in my local, and swiftly ponied up the cash. Sounds fabulous...

Day 22 - Earth Day is 4/22 - spin a record on recycled vinyl or one with a earth related image on its cover Maisha - Open The Gates I've been on holiday for a while so will try to reverse catch up. Acc to Discogs, I've only got one recycled vinyl and it's this great spiritual jazz one.

Damn, that Kamasi is good. On first listen, it's the best thing he's released in quite a while for me...

Day 9 - Spin a record released in the 90’s or in a year ending in 9 Gang Starr - Full Clip: A Decade of Gang Starr I decided to play something from 1999 but on checking I've only got 3 records from that year. This 4LP compilation might be the best, not least as I got it for free from the...

Day 8 - Album / song / artist with geographical location in title, lyric or name Led Zeppelin - The Final Rehearsal 2007, Shepperton Studios, London Fantastic bootleg, arguably better than Celebration Day itself. What I'd given to have been there.

Day 7 - Spin any RRHoF artist that is already inducted, or has been nominated Aretha Franklin - The Atlantic Singles Collection 1967-1970 Had to look this one up...

Day 6 - Spin any splatter / marbled / split wax, picture disc or shaped vinyl Chris Whitley - Din of Ecstasy In honour of @Yer Ol' Uncle D. The last coloured disc I've had.

Day 5 - Today is 4/5 - spin a 45 or any record that is 45 rpm Inter Jazz Band - Makore Mashanu Back to fresh grabs, and a great little record from Zimbabwe. I must admit I bought it slightly (no listing on Discogs until me) to own something on that label (clearly where Analog Africa got some...

Day 4 – Spin any artist, album or song that repeats a letter in its name or title I Soumaoro et l'Eclipse de l'IJA - Le Tioko - Tioko I had actually already spun a record for today. But then Amadou Bagayogo (of Amadou & Mariam) died, so playing this in memory of him. Probably my favourite...

Gutted that Amadou (of Amadou & Mariam) has died. Was going to see them live again next month. One of my most special concert experiences was going to a gig in the dark by them to replicate their experience of being blind #RIP

At least 2 more on their way...

Day 3 - Spin any album or artist with a three word title / name NWA - Straight Outta Compton Don't think I can do a month of fresh grabs (at least my wallet hopes not) but here's another ticked off my want list.

Day 2 - It's International Guitar Month. Spin an album that includes a favorite guitarist(s) and if so inclined, tell us why they're a favorite. Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Dume Another fresh grab. No explanation needed, but I could die happy on hearing the guitar tone of Cortez The Killer.

Day 1 – Spin any artist’s / band’s debut record Mudhoney I had planned to think about this a bit but this fresh grab was on the turntable already. Loving getting reacquainted with Mudhoney, who were quite possibly my favourite from the grunge scene.

Love this album but this was an interesting read for me Little Simz sues former producer Inflo over unpaid debts

Day 31: Fare Thee Well, June 2015, Levi’s Stadium – As we bid goodbye to March and this challenge, play something that references a goodbye or farewell. Leonard Cohen - Live in London So Long Marianne - for a long time, I thought this album was from the Cohen concert I went to in London that...

Day 30: Liam Gallagher / Mary Wallopers, July 2024, Thomond Park Ireland – Liams show happened to coincide with an already planned trip to Ireland, the tour was focused on the 30th anniversary of Definitely Maybe. Play an album you’d love to hear played in full. Miles Davis -Live in Europe 1967...

Day 29: Fiona Apple September 2017, Ohana Festival – Play something by an artist who focuses more on music than touring. Portishead - Roseland NYC Live Portishead paired with Brian Wilson...
