21. World Hello Day
Play the album you would give to someone to introduce them to an artist.

Various Artists "Soul Slabs Vol. 1" (2017 Colemine Records)
If someone wanted to get into Colemine Records, I'd suggest they first listen to this amazingly consistent funk and soul compilation. And you can't go wrong with a cover of Fela Kuti's "Let's Start" to get, well, started into your journey.

19. National "Play Monopoly Day"

The Beatles - Revolver
Song: “Taxman”

20. Transgender Day of Remembrance

Surrounder - “Capitalism”
(from the upcoming album Structural Mercy)





There’s certainly not a vibrant local music scene here, but this band stands out to me with their energy and almost math-rock type sound. Their drummer identifies as transgender

21. World Hello Day

Carly Rae Jepsen - E*MO*TION



Part of the stack that @Matt M concocted for me today. Today is my birthday, which I share with my good friends Carly and Bjork, so I always enjoy playing them on this specific day. This is the first record I recommend when someone who has enjoyed other genres wants to get into more recent pop music.

Mountain Goats - The Sunset Tree


I love so many of their albums, but this one is something special. John Darnielle is one of the foremost singer songwriters alive today and I'd invite anyone to start with this album.

World Hello Day
Play the album you would give to someone to introduce them to an artist.

Introducing someone to an artist is sometimes tricky. You don't start at the pinnacle and you try to avoid any possibly perceived low points. For a diverse artist, it's even harder.

This is where the (gasp) oft maligned greatest hits/compilation album can work magic in kindling interest.

This doesn't come anywhere close to touching all the stylistic bases, but this is where I'd start a friend on Neil...

Neil Young - Decade

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Song Title "November Blue"
Play a blues album.

I'll see your blues and raise you death...

Mark 'Porkchop' Holder - Death And The Blues

This guy flies pretty much under the radar but he's an absolute powerhouse...

22. Song Title "November Blue"

Cedric Burnside - I Be Trying

 

[waruv]

Song Title "November Blue"
Play a blues album.

This was actually unintentional as it was a newer grab that was just cleaned, but it fits the theme. Maybe more blues rock but one of her better early albums for sure

Bonnie Raitt - Sweet Forgiveness

 

[Turbo]

22. Song Title "November Blue"
Play a blues album.

Stevie Ray Vaughan "In Step" (1989 Epic; 2016 Analogue Productions reissue)

Day 22: Song Title "November Blue"
Lightnin' Hopkins-Blues in my Bottle

 

[Kris]

Day 16 - Drummer Day
Olivia Campion of Yumi Zouma always looks like she’s having a blast.

 

[Kris]

17 - Hiking Day
I wanted to play “Wunderland” but it’s not on vinyl. This one is good for a hike as well.

Ralf Hildenbeutel - Moods

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

Day 21: World Hello Day

Aretha Franklin - I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You



The only proper introduction to the Queen of Soul for new ears!

Transgender Day of Remembrance
Play an album by a transgender or non-binary artist

Not exactly on the nose, but I didn't want to skip a day.
