An album by the Boo Radleys?
giant steps (where the lightning mcqueen clue fits) costs 50 bucks on discogs
so it must be wake up or everythings alright forever as they have MOV pressings (i remember last year i thought music on vinyl was a bootlegger)
but aparently they are on bandcamp... which the boo radleys aren't

I looked in Andy's discogs collection for any Boo Radleys and found none so, unless he took precaution and took it out of his collection ahead of time (which I did with Clarence, so not out of the question), I'm unsure

Dumb & Dumber soundtrack is an underrated 90s comp soundtrack.

Peter pumpkin head. And for that matter I don’t see XTC or dukes of stratosphere get much love on the forum. Man when I play PPH it is turned up to 11. LETS BEGIN!!!!

Without further ado, the May 2020 Needles & Grooves Album of the Month is:
KENDRA MORRIS - MOCKINGBIRD
Wax Poetics Records – WPR028
Released: 2013
Purchase a vinyl copy of the record DIRECT FROM KENDRA for $25 plus shipping at
www.kendramorrismusic.com
If you are considering purchasing the record (and I really hope you do), please note that Kendra Morris sells copies of this album and her other music/merch directly through her website. She will be mailing out the records herself. As she is in New York City, which as most everyone knows is currently one of the biggest hotbeds of covid and is in lockdown, she may not be able to ship orders as quickly as she would like.
To that end, she is offering to provide a free digital copy (320kbps mp3) of the album via a download link to you. In order to receive the download, pleasy copy your basic order information (like order # and time/date via email text/screenshot) and your email address and send to my PM inbox and I will share the link with you in a reply. This method will be quicker in getting the actual music to you than Kendra having to make time in her schedule to respond to everyone who orders. Anyone that *does* purchase the 'Mockingbird' album from Kendra directly will be entered into a drawing to win a 'prize pack' of additional Kendra Morris music/merch. Deadline to buy/enter will be whenever the June AotM is announced.
Of course, you are free to purchase wherever you would like. It seems this album can be had at most of the usual online shops for roughly similar prices. But I sure would love it if you purchased it from Kendra herself. She'll even sign the record if you'd like.
WHY I PICKED THIS RECORD
Kendra Morris' music blends genres - soul, rock, psychedelic, funk, and more - with a sound that is both retro and modern. My main goal here is to simply introduce her music to our community, one that I know would appreciate this type of sound, and then let you explore her catalog if you liked what you heard. I felt that by choosing 'Mockingbird', a full-on covers album, I'd give Needles & Grooves members a relatively accessible entry point into her overall sound and vocal talents as she interprets songs we all know and love. On top of that, I feel Kendra Morris is low-key one of the most hard working artists I follow, with her creative endeavors extending beyond just the music she produces.
When you listen to 'Mockingbird', I'd encourage you to do so on good headphones so you can hear her many vocal harmonies that aren't necessarily evident on computer speakers through Spotify/YouTube/etc. Afterward, explore her other music, from her debut 'Banshee', also on Wax Poetics, to her self-released Babble. She has numerous singles on Bandcamp and Soundcloud. There is a lot of Kendra Morris music out there, and hopefully your journey in discovering it all starts right now.
