Found it on sale from the amazon. Enjoying this with a "brown" drink that I butchered with a little too much cream. White russian Kahlua and vodka. (Not a fan of anything Russia these days...) but the drink is good. .... Well the first song at 33 rpm was good, but the second, not so much...

Bumping this. Excited for the 2024 Olympics. Should be some good competitions! 🥇🥈🥉

Day 11 / 2024.S7.E11 - The Starry Sky (星空) My father took this photo after we got drinks + yakitori in a bar in Kobe (神戸). The perfect conditions were cast down on the Mosaic District in Kobe along with this starry sky: warm temp, no wind, only a few tourists, and the calm port of Kobe made for...

Day 10 / 2024.S7.E10 - Ten People, Ten Colors (十人十色) This is mentaiko (明太子; spicy pollack roe), the first food I tasted in Japan. I asked the waiter in this izakaya for a recommendation, and he suggested it. While I enjoy it and certainly don’t mind having it as part of a Japanese meal, my...

Day 9 / 2024.S7.E9 - A Crowded Trek (混んでいた旅) Fushimi Inari Shrine (伏見稲荷大社) is the most well-known shrine in Kyoto, with several thousand Toori gates (鳥居) leading to there. The journey takes roughly ~90min to hike up there, with plenty of rest stops and souvenir shops along the way. It is crowded...

Day 8 / 2024.S7.E8 - No Music, No Life (音楽なし、生活なし) Tower Records is a massive tourist spot in Shibuya, with seven floors for media (vinyl, CDs, cassettes, posters, etc.), a floor for a cafe, and an event space on the rooftop! Mostly new, sealed releases to be found here. Play a record that you...

Day 7 / 2024.S7.E7 - Everything, Everywhere All at Once (万事、随所同時に) Inside the chaos of the department store that is Don Quixote (ドン・キホーテ), you’ll find something that appeals to you. Cosmetics, highly discounted snacks at late hours, branded penguin mascot merch, backpacks/luggage, Japanese...

Day 6 / 2024.S7.E6 - In another season… (別な季節に) Maruyama Park (円山公園) was a beautiful respite last year…right before the tourist chaos of Kiyomizu Temple (清水寺) with its winding, uneven walkways and shops from end to end. As lovely as the park was, seeing the red colors juxtaposed against the...

Thanks! I'll try to match up some photos to the theme as best I can! Cheers, or I should say Kampai!!!

Day 5 / 2024.S7.E5 - Simplicity (単純) Japanese art often focuses on minimalism…preventing the background distracting from the subject as much as possible. Sometimes a simple subject is all that is necessary to convey a message. Play a record that gives you cause for you to think over the course...

Day 4 / 2024.S7.E4 - Why are there so many like this? (どうしてこんな物が多くあるん？) In Yokohama, the Cup Noodles Museum is a popular tourist attraction for its cheap entrance fee and, of course, the ability to customize your own instant cup noodles! Very popular with families, and I made sure to have one...

Day 3 / 2024.S7.E3 - Childhood Memories (子供時代の思い出) Stopping into a Studio Ghibli store is a common tourist spending drain…especially with the rapid depreciation of the JPY 💴 ➡️ USD 💵 . Everything from pot holders, tees, stuffed animals, enamel pins, mugs, you name it. There’s are a bevy of...

Day 2 / 2024.S7.E2 - A Once in a Lifetime Opportunity (一期一会) Being in Kenrokuen (兼六園) was unlike any other outdoor space I have set foot in, nothing compared to its sheer scope, beauty, and tranquility (when there were spaces free of talkative tourists). It seemed that no matter where you were...

Feel free to ask any questions. It has been over 20 years since I was there though. Otsukaresamadeshita!

This month's challenge is really up my alley. Many years ago, I lived in Japan for almost 2 years, and have fond memories. I really hope to get back there someday soon! I also have a LOT of photos, pre-digital, that I need to get sorted someday. Perhaps this thread will inspire me to do...

Milk Crate w/ records Post 2008 Hip Hop Oppotumus Brown, not brown radioactive Cozumel, Mexico I have no idea how any clues would line up, but here's my incorrect guess... Imagine Dragons - Night Visions

I like having the most recent months pinned to the top of the vinyl club page, they're easier to find. Maybe having previous year's in a sub-section might be good.

I really wish there was an easier way to copy/paste the details of one submission to another. I have this one: https://www.discogs.com/release/15301451-Lido-Pimienta-Miss-Colombia and most all the details are the same except the runouts and barcode of this one...

This arrived today! Very nice pick! For the drink pairing, I chose an espresso martini with cocoa powder and coffee bean garnish. Some of my favorite coffee blends and roasts are from Colombia and Latin America. Cocoa is also from the americas. So the drink ties it together nicely. For the...

I don't have an iMac. This is the best I am willing to do using Excel... I had to make a minimum of 3, otherwise it would just be chaos.
