30th August - International Whale Shark Day!
I was lucky enough to swim with Whale Sharks a few years ago and it was an incredible experience. Choose an album that has a sea theme!

I have a few other more directly related to the nautical theme, but this one has the most badass and funky jolly roger pirate flag.

29th August - "Own up, half your music is black,”
After Eric Clapton’s racist rant, Rock Against Racism was founded. Play an album with anti-racism themes or lyrics.

I had a few in my head to go with, but went with Biko - as it is an anti-apartheid song. I also like the extended remix version on this 12" - it's just short of 9 minutes.

Peter Gabriel – I Don't Remember
Charisma – CEP 303, 1980

Canadian 12" w/ Shosholoza, Biko (Remixed Version), and Jetzt Kommt Die Flut (Here Comes The Flood)
