Im going to try to keep up this month! First up is my favourite jazz musician, the absolutely magical Lee Morgan.

Spin a record from you one of your favorite Black artists or groups

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Day 1: Black History Month
Howlin' Wolf-Howlin' Wolf

When I think of black history in music, I think straight to old, southern blues and the influence it had on what came after.View attachment 31103

My avatar highly endorses this record.

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

I haven’t been playing a lot of records lately, this is a good way to remedy that!

Day 1: Black History Month

Otis Redding - The Dock of the Bay



Kicking this off with one of the greatest soul singers of all time, and one of my top 10 favourite artists!

 

[MadLucas]

Day 1 - Black History Month



I really don’t think I should have to explain:
1. The importance of this pick
2. Why I am glad people are asleep right now, if you dig what I mean

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Day 2 - Happy Groundhogs Day!
Don’t drive angry. Spin a record that you could happily listen to on repeat, over and over and over...

It's rock. It's jazz. It's cabaret. It's theatre. It's perfect.

Lou Reed - Rock N Roll Animal

Day 2 - On and on and on

This is my favorite TH album and I could really play it nonstop.

There's a party in my mind and I hope it never stops!

 

[Bsdmr2]

A day late to kick this off, but...

Day 1 - black history month

 

[Captainfog]

Day 2 - Happy Groundhog Day!

One of my absolute faves

 

[Joe Mac]

Day 1: Black History Month

Marvin Gaye - Let’s Get It On

Day 2 and I’m already playing catch up. Time to spin some Marvin Gaye!

 

[Poly-Rythmo]

Day 2 - Groundhog Day

Aretha Franklin - The Atlantic Singles Collection 1967-70

Pretty much a perfect record. From hits like Respect to fabulous B-sides like Do Right Woman-Do Right Man, this has it all. I'm in the middle of moving three bedrooms around in the house and my back is killing me. This is a fantastic salve.

 

[LeeVing]

Day 2: Happy Groundhogs Day!

Since this isn't available on Spotify, I have multiple rips of the cd on various devices.

XTC ‎– Apple Venus Volume One
Ape House ‎– APELP118, 1999/2018

Cut by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering

It is also available on Youtube...for now.

Day 2 - Groundhog Day

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme

I’ve listened to this one enough to confidently say I’d never tire of it.


Looks like Olaf photobombed me

Wolf Parade "Apologies To The Queen Mary"

Something about this record just hits every.single.time!

Alice Clark - s/t

Found this during RSD this year, and I can't stop listening to it.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 2 - Happy Groundhogs Day!
Weezer - Weezer (AKA The Blue Album)

I remember purchasing a CD copy of The Blue Album as a Sixth-Grader and it has been a constant part of my life ever since. Lots of other albums have come and gone since but this one is always there.

 

[sahomerrocks]

Day 2: Groundhog Day

A perfect album

I was very close to playing this today, too, but I needed to save it for a later day, heh.

Day 2: Groundhog Day

The Band - Music From Big Pink

This record has been in my life and my collection for longer than most. Its entire vibe make it seem like it's been there forever. Have never tired of it, and would be surprised if I ever did. Playing the original mix instead of the 2018 remix, which I also love, this time.

Almost played Feist, too, but I think my girlfriend would kill me if she had to listen to it again right now.
