The Return of the Challenge Thread - February 2020

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Day 17 - Very Presidential
Spin a record that would make your country proud

What I feel makes my country proud is towing the line on what is ethically and morally right and calling bullshit on those who lie, cheat and steal and holding them accountable.

This artist has always done that with his music and his causes.

Steve Earle - Just An American Boy

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Day 18 - Spill The Wine
In honor of National Wine Day pop a cork and spin an album that you enjoy while imbibing

Here's a record that's pretty much all about drinking.

So much fun...

Old 97's - Most Messed Up

 

[gafacaode]

Day 18 - Spill The Wine

I listened to this album a few days ago but, with this day's challenge in mind.

 

[Poly-Rythmo]

Day 18 - spill the wine

African Brothers Band - Yaa Amponsa Special

This is a paean to palm wine from one of my very favourite West African bands. Quality stuff.

 

[Captainfog]

Day 8 - That Should Do It...
Spin a record that you’d play LOUD to piss off the neighbors

This record annoys me and I like experimental jazz, so it would definitely upset the neighbours.

 

[Captainfog]

Day 9 - This Ones A Grower
Spin a record that didn’t didn’t click initially but now love

 

[Captainfog]

Day 10 - Don’t Shoot The Piano Player
Spin a record that features phenomenal ivory tickling

Probably the GOAT piano player.

 

[Captainfog]

Day 11 - Meet Me In The Bathroom
Spin some early 2000s indie rock

Not really indie rock, but a band with a starring role in the book.

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

Day 17: Very Presidential
Dixie Chicks-Taking The Long Way

I tend to be more proud of those that stand up against their leaders for what they believe in. Especially in this case...when it goes against a majority of their fan base

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

Day 18: Spill the Wine

Chet Baker - It Could Happen to You: Chet Baker Sings



I don’t drink, but if I did I could totally see myself having a glass of wine or champagne while playing this record!

 

[Selaws]

Day 18 - Spill The Wine

Gil Evans Orchestra Featuring Cannonball Adderley ‎– New Bottle Old Wine (Blue Note, 2019 Tone Poet Series)

I actually struggled with this one as there's nothing specific I play whilst drinking. But I do like the occasional red wine, and so does Gil by the looks of it...

(thanks again to @Mr Moore for selling me this copy at a superb price!)

The National - Boxer

Nothing goes better with some whiskey than a side of The National.

 

[D Jilla]

Day 18 - Spill the Wine

I like red wine, but it gives me a headache. With a nice glass of single malt or bourbon, I might grab a jazz record - probably something a bit more laid back. Here’s one I haven’t played in a while:

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

Day 18: Spill The Wine
Miles Davis-In A Silent Way

I don't have any wine in the house at the moment, but when it comes to having a drink....jazz pairs well with any beverage....

 

[BjorgenFjorgen]

Day 16: Chin up!

Murder by Death - Red of Tooth and Claw

When we meet you willl see
I will destroy everything of beauty
When we meet then you'll know
I'll be the axe that clears the forest

 

[MadLucas]

Day 18 - Spill The Wine

No amount of wine, dust, static, or mood is as pentetrable as these songs for me. You can laugh with them, cry with them, and no matter what they will hold you up when you cannot stand. Great drinking buddy right here.
