Day 29 - New Arrival

The Raconteurs - Help Us Stranger

I didn't do any kind of preorder for this one, just went to my local store and grabbed a copy a couple weeks ago while I was getting some other stuff.

Day 31 - So Nice I Chose it Twice (Thrice?)

The Jayhawks - Back Roads and Abandoned Motels

I actually played this right after work today for the Day 29 topic, new arrival. Then I remembered I played it for the rainy day topic. Anyway, this one is worth listening to a few times.



Thanks for running the thread @Wicked Dreamer

Day 31 - So Nice, You Play It Twice

Sloan - 12

Back to the day 1 play with one of my favorite bands, perfect on this sunny afternoon! I'd love to pick up all their earlier albums, but dang they go for a pretty penny.

27: Underplayed

Grateful Dead - Workingman's Dead

This isn't really underplayed per se, as I only bought this this week, but for the last few years since I got into the Dead, I usually go for American Beauty over this, even though I'd say I like them equally. They're almost two sides of the same coin.

28: The jazziest of all Sundays

Joni Mitchell - The Hissing of Summer Lawns

Definitely not my "jazziest" record, but I thought I'd play something different. Apparently this is "jazz fusion" to some degree, and I don't think I've played this since I bought it about ten years ago. I think I'm entering my second Joni obsession era.

Is there an August challenge? I was hoping to hop back in!

29: New arrival

Jim Guthrie - Takes Time

Just picked this up on vinyl this week. Bought it on CD in 2013 and it's probably one of my most-played albums since then, certainly by a local artist. The pressing isn't great but I'm glad to have it in my collection.

I haven't seen a thread but you can run one if you want! Though I'll be out of town a lot and moving at the end of the month so I'll probably not be able to participate in August.

I’ll think about it for a couple hours. If I do, I won’t be the most prompt especially since school starts in 2 weeks.

You can always just post a whole list at word go.

Had to take a break from spinning for a while...the travelling then having my mother visit got in the way.

I'm gonna play catch up in this thread today.

Day 29: New Arrival

This is a great movie and a great soundtrack supposedly only using instruments that were available at the time of the moon landing. A good companion to Eno's Apollo.

Day 26 & 27 - Indie Exclusive & Underplayed

Behind so I’m cheating and giving two days to this album.

Rough Trade exclusive, not sure if it actually works for this day.

Underplayed because I’ve never spun it, just sliced the shrink wrap minutes before this photo was taken.

this is pretty good
