This month's theme is going to be Basketball, or more precisely a vinyl spin tour around the Association. You don't have to be a basketball fan (though why not?) and like last month, each day will have two themes, one geographic and the other associated with the mascot.
You know the drill, for each day, play a record. Preferably one that hasn't been played yet. Let's shoot for all 31 days for a prize, either Bandcamp or Paladin at a reasonable price. The more detail the better. Fake double points if you pick an artist that meets both themes.
Now that we have that out of the way...
On to the challenge!
