Day 26: Wouldn’t Be Caught Dead

Common - Resurrection



“Wouldn’t be caught dead with” may be a strong term, but I imagine Common wasn’t too big on Snoop’s brand on gangsta rap at the time based on some of the lyrics of “I Used to Love H.E.R.”.

Tracking my connections: Howard Jones --> Drive~By Truckers --> Kraftwerk --> David Bowie --> Muppets --> Debbie Gibson --> Bob Dylan --> Mike Ness --> Os Mutantes --> Tropicalia --> Emerson Lake & Palmer --> Skankin' Pickle --> Rolling Stones --> Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit --> Bob Dylan --> Johnny Cash --> Metallica --> Doobie Brothers --> Linda Ronstadt --> Nick Drake --> John Martyn --> Danny Elfman --> Beatles --> Neil Young & Pearl Jam --> Beastie Boys --> 3rd Bass --> Mdou Moctar --> Philip Glass

My choice for Day 28 - Play something you can tie back to @LeSamourai

Mdou Moctar is often compared to Jimi Hendrix. Jimi Hendrix is featured on the Watchmen Soundtrack, as are some of the tracks (Pruit Igoe and Prophecies) from this soundtrack, specifically used when Jon Osterman gets turned into Dr. Manhattan. Who is also used as @LeSamourai 's avatar.

Thanks for the fun month!

Philip Glass ~ Koyaanisqatsi

Day 26. Play an album that wouldn’t be caught dead hanging out with yesterday’s album.
Since I am of the belief that literally everyone wants to hang out with Questlove, I am gonna have to invoke my Wildcard…

Day 27. Play something that uses a different language than yesterday’s pick.

Os Mutantes - Os Mutantes

Os Mutantes was one of the best psych rock albums of the 60s. I don’t speak Portuguese but this record is magical regardless.

Thanks @LeSamourai for running a fun month - some of these came easy and some of them really had me stop and think for a bit but I got a nice mix of things I really wanted to hear and things that made the most sense for the prompt out fo the month in the end. Way pleased!

I chose this because I'm about to go cook dinner, and it's perfect right now. And also because of Daptone, to connect it to my last post.

Songs: Ohia - Magnolia Electric Co.

We’ve been chatting about one of my faves all day today in the Preorder thread so I figured it was an excellent time to give this a spin. I originally purchased this record in the mid 2000s and it’s been consistently played ever since.
