Day 11 - Spin an artist with an upcoming release you have on pre-order. Or, spin any record that you pre-ordered.
Sun Ra – Uncharted Passages (New York Piano Soliloquies 1977-79)
I don't currently have any Sun Ra on pre-order, but that's only because I'm not aloud to pre-order tomorrow's two...
Day 10 - Spin an EP or 10” record
Whitehorse / Sarah Harmer / Great Lake Swimmers – Polaris Cover Sessions No. 1
I have an unreasonable love for the 10". This is the most recent one I acquired.
Dead Pioneers = great!
Sons of Ra = fine. I bet they're a blast live, but the album is a bit uneven for me—some incredible moments mixed with some unexciting ones
Glactic & Irma Thomas = great!
Lawne Live at Audio Gold = great!
The Mars Volta = solid.
If anybody sees both Sun Ra releases and would be willing to grab and ship them my way, I'd be super stoked. Otherwise I'll be searching for leftovers on Sunday and hoping I can find both in one place to minimize the shipping.
Based on Canadian prices it looks like it should be about $110 US...
