March 2022 Vinyl Spin Challenge Thread - Here It Goes Again

[Turbo]

shit does that mean I have to go back and find what I posted

Haha... probably. I actually keep a list on a sheet of paper by the turntable to remind me what I played previously during the month. The months can kind of blur together sometimes, so I don't always remember if I already played something or not.

Day 27: Blast from the past

Think I missed this one. I struggled with it a bit, because I think this is a fairly modern-sounding album, too, but I remember when it came out Robin was talking a lot about Roy Harper's Stormcock and Van Morrison's Astral Weeks. Or critics were, or other people were. Either way, it introduced me to at least two classic records.

Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues

 

[Wes C. Attle]

MARCH 29
TWO FOR TUESDAY

REM - Document



I also have the CD that came in one of those long-boxes but it’s in the attic

Day 29: Two-fer Tuesday

Paul Simon - Graceland

I've been back into vinyl long enough now that there aren't too many more albums I want to double up on with a vinyl copy to go with my earlier CD. (That process is thankfully almost complete...I think.) I try to curate my record collection with mostly all-timers (my own), so of course I had to get a copy of this. Also I'm seeing a "Classic Albums Live" of this at Massey Hall tonight so I was due for a re-listen.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Lilys - A Brief History Of Amazing Letdowns



Lillies (Lilys) are in bloom. I love this album

 

[Wes C. Attle]

MARCH 31
LOOKS LIKE WE'VE MADE IT TO THE END

Fountains Of Wayne - Sky Full Of Holes



It still kills me that Adam Schlesinger is gone. These guys didn’t put out a single bad record.

Sorry I was late! Thanks @gaporter !! Had a lot of fun this month!

 

[gaporter]

Big thanks and round of applause to everyone who participated this month! I hope it was fun and enjoyable. Many good tunes were played.

I'm going to start going through the thread to see who all qualifies for the raffle soon, but don't worry if you're not up to date yet because I probably won't be pulling a name until closer to the end of next week. So there's still plenty of time to finish up if you want a chance at the gift card!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Many thanks to you as well for playing along

Speaking of, I suppose I've given people more than enough time to get caught up... expect a drawing for the gift card in the next couple of days!
