Day 2: Happy Groundhog Day!

Arthur Verocai - Arthur Verocai

Even as I slowly chip away at the breadth of Tropicalia music, I always come back to this one. The unparalleled arrangements here always push me to hyperbole and compare this closely to albums like Forever Changes and Odessey & Oracle.

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...

I could spin this one for the next three days.
Herbie Hancock - Headhunters

Headhunters again! With a very refreshing beverage.

Day 2 - Over and Over (and over)

Rusty Bryant - Fire Eater

I went with a record that I could easily flip from A to B back to A and etc. It just really hits the spot for me. I tend to spin this early on when I'm having people over, (like right now) it just always works.

Day 2 - Happy Groundhogs Day!

Tom Waits - Nighthawks At The Diner (Anti, 2018 Pressing On Red Vinyl)

Moving away from jazz (as theres too many to choose from) and Tom Waits is someone I could listen to on repeat. I love his patter and wordplay on this album, it would of been fantastic to have been in the audience.

Not the most creative pick... But I couldn't help myself

King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard - Nonagon Infinity

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

Day 2: Happy Groundhogs Day

Janet Jackson - Rhythm Nation 1814



Nothing but greatness from start to finish!

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

Day 2: Happy Groundhog's Day
Neutral Milk Hotel-In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

This one will never get old.

Day 2 - Happy Groundhogs Day!



This one is very much a part of my DNA at this point, hugely influential album for me as a listener and musician.
Currently have the shapes picked out as my next tattoo for that reason.

Day 3 - What’s That Smell?
Spin something Funky

Smells like P................................Funk.

Parliament - Mothership Connection

 

[Poly-Rythmo]

Day 3 - funky

Rail Band - Buffet Hotel de la Gare Bamako

One of the great African funk records. Rail Band are probably Mali's greatest band and a lot of their records go for stupid money, including this one. Good job Superfly Records reissued it, and it's my favourite release of theirs by a long distance.

Day 2 - Happy Groundhogs Day!
Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West

This is kind of hard for me because I feel this way about most albums I love, but I used to play this one on repeat driving back and forth from college in the middle of the night singing/screaming along cathartically, so it was the first to pop into my head.
