Let The Music Oracles Speak: The January Vinyl Spin Challenge Thread

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Thanks for putting together the January challenge @scotthilk I hope you had as much fun putting it together as I had playing it. The oracle cards are new to me but they seem like a fun idea.

Looks like @ranbalam witll be taking over for the February challenge. I hope to see you all over there.

Auntie Flo & Sarathy Korwar – Shruti Dances


Indian Classical percussion and Electronic production combine here for a very tasty treat. Upon release it was said this is their first collaborative release, I hope that means there will be more because I love this!

Thanks for a kickass month @scotthilk! The Oracle cards have been super awesome and everyone's selections have been a blast. I hope you continue to join us in these threads!

Prince - The Rainbow Children



Not a frequently-played record in this home, so let’s play it today!

January 31: Ravi Shankar
This prompt definitely hit a hole in my collection. So I went with an album that has a bit of sitar on it.

Thanks for running January @scotthilk !!

On to February, hope to see you all over there....

January 31: Ravi Shankar

Amon Tobin - Bricolage

The track "Dream Sequence" samples Ravi Shankar, but in typical Amon Tobin fashion the end result is a rather different experience!




P.S. A big shout out to @scotthilk !

 

[scotthilk]

Congrats to the 11 (so far) who have crossed the finish line! Wow!

James Blake - Enough Thunder
Song: “A Case Of You”


Many years ago (I say this because I can’t believe so much time has passed), James Blake did this gorgeous cover of Joni’s “A Case Of You”

I feel like I've asked this before - but what's the website for tracking the covers / daily plays that you all use?

Jai Paul - Leak 04-13 (Bait Ones)

Thanks so much for a great month, @scotthilk! I played a lot of records that were getting dusty, so it was nice to hear them again

Day 31: Ravi Shankar

V/A - Woodstock Four



Ravi played a set of sitar music around midnight on the first day, with his 18-minute “Raga Manj Kmahaj” closing out his set & this compilation album.
