Hey all! Welocme to the May 2020 Record Challenge Thread! I am your host Fleetwood-Matt!

This month im feeling super generous so at the end of the month there will be a prize raffle!!!

This will be following the basic rules of most Challenge threads

The "rules"
  • Even though there is a prize, it's not based off anything other than posting each day. I wont be judging on how well it fits the theme or anything like that
  • Interpret each topic in your own way.
  • Try to play something that hasn't been played for that day.
  • Catch up if you miss some days.
  • Don't be shy about telling stories about your selection, and yet don't feel you have to elaborate on anything you post
  • Have fun!

so before i announce the themes for each day let me explain the prize and the rules on how to win it

THE PRIZE

the prize will be you choice of any of the N&G ROTM! from Mark de Clive-Lowe to the recently announced Kendra Morris!

HOW TO BE ENTERED

to be entered in the raffle all you have to do is post a record for all 31 themes. Now you dont have to post on the exact day so dont worry if you fall behind. As long as you are all done by June 2nd then you will be entered in the raffle. If you post for all 31 themes then you will be entered in a hat and if i draw your name just tell me which record you want and i will send it your way! I'm only gonna award one winner

Wow! What a prize! I’d say they all need vol 6 but then everyone clearly already has it and it’s their favourite 😂
 
Please explain days 17 & 26. I'm new to these parts. Thanks!
I just looked up Discogs randomizer last night and had no ideas if you bring up your collection and shake your phone it will randomly pick an album was playing around with it last night.
17 no idea lol I’m guessing a pop album I’m sure they’ll explain it further.
 
My only question is what if your first record you bought only put out one album.

Oh I didn't consider that lol. Honestly if you have nothing that fits the theme (like not everyone is gonna have a pop album for day 17) just get creative and get as close to the theme as you can. Its encouraged that you write alittle about your pick and explain it (though not necessary at all) so if you cam perfectly fit a theme just explain why the album you pick is close enough to the theme
