JULY 29
CUE SYNTHESIZER
Play something with a lot of synths

Pillar Point -- Marble Mouth

Cool synth pop record, heavy 80s vibes throughout



JULY 30
THE END IS NIGH
Play something apocalyptic

Judas Priest -- Screaming for Vengeance

Not quite on the level of Painkiller in the apocalyptic sense... Judas Priest's album covers always look apocalyptic though

THIS IS THE END
Free play once again; send this thing off with a bang!

Juvenile -- 400 Degreez (Promo)

I was sad that I missed out on the VMP release, when I stumbled upon this at my LRS for a buck. My only complaint is that they have "Ha" on here three times... one can only listen to Ha so many times before you get sick of it...

Thanks @gaporter for hosting. This was my first challenge and I had a lot of fun!

Frightened Rabbit - Painting of a Panic Attack


First off, special shout out to @gaporter for running a great challenge!

I decided to go with Frightened Rabbit as it’s my favorite album of the past 10 years and I needed some comfort with everything going on in the world.

"Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, even if the sun don't shine
Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line"

Day 31 - THIS IS THE END

Fontaines D.C. - A Hero's Death (Partisan Records, 2020 First Pressing On 'Stormy Blue' vinyl)

This is my second spin of the day for this fantastic album. I only recently (as of this week) discovered Fontaines D.C. and streamed their first album quite a few times since. I put the order in for this album (which was officially released today) and it arrived yesterday. Really great music and a fantastic pressing on 'stormy blue' vinyl. Bliss!

illuminati hotties - Free I.H: This is Not the One You've Been Waiting For
This showed up just in time for me to use it for today, if you haven't heard this album yet I can't recommend it enough. It's a blast. Will be on my year end list, probably pretty high too!
