April 2021 Challenge Thread

Day 11 - Black Sheep
I like the singles ok, but don’t love this one. It was shelved and not even cleaned so I haven’t played it for a very long time, if ever.
Erasure - Circus

 

[D Jilla]

Day 11 - Black sheep

Similar to @Wicked Dreamer , this a situation where the album is totally fine but doesn’t have the same magic as the debut. I usually grab Light Upon the Lake.



Also, I really hate the Eagles as well.

Day 10: Saturday Night Fever
play a disco or party record

Shamir - Ratchet

I'm glad Shamir gets to make the music he wants to make, but I miss the pop stuff.

I just want to say I like the method of revealing each theme one day at a time. I always look forward to seeing the reveal haha. Loving this month so far @Wicked Dreamer, glad I decided to hop back into the challenge threads!

Teen - Love Yes



I bought this record at a show of theirs several years ago. Some great music, just haven't spun this very much much.

Björk - Medúlla

 

[Wes C. Attle]

Day 12: Multilingual
Play a record sung in more than one language or by an artist who sings more than one language

Super Furry Animals - Fuzzy Logic



I originally picked Phoenix but I don’t think they’ve ever sung a song in French, despite being from Versailles.

Super Furry Animals are a proud Welsh band and have some albums that are only in the Welsh language.

Day 12: Multilingual
Play a record sung in more than one language or by an artist who sings more than one language

This was a tricky one. I thought I had one but despite multilingual song titles, it was all in French, so I had to dig a bit for this one...

Robyn - Body Talk Pt 1

There is some French on this album. I’ve always wanted to get the French version cause I love this album so much.

I don’t think I’ve listened to this in over a year. Way past due for a spin.

 

[gafacaode]

Day 12: Multilingual - play a record sung in more than one language (or by an artist who sings more than one language)

Ok, so my pick is not multilingual, it's entirely in Welsh but, after seeing the Fuzzy Logic post, I just had to spin this one.

Now, can we please get a Rings Around the World reissue?

Super Furry Animals - mwng

 

[D Jilla]

Day 12 - Multilingual

CV made this album while in political exile in England, so most of the tracks are in English. There are also tracks in his usual Portuguese and a couple with lyrics in both languages.

 

[LeSamourai]

Day 10: Saturday Night Fever
play a disco or party record

Miya Folick - Premonitions

I'm too introverted for most parties, so I relate more with the song "Leave the Party" from this album.
