Haruomi Hosono - Pacific I don’t normally post here but needed to give praise to this record. I’ve had my eye out for this album for a while and finally picked it up at one of my locals recently. It wasn’t until later that I realized it was a bootleg. Which was surprising to me given just how...

New Rhino High Fidelity. Excited for these two.

Day 22: Grateful Dead December 1989, Great Western Forum – Play a rarity, or something that would blow you away if you heard it live. The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band I saw Paul when he was a headliner at Austin City Limits. The show was incredible but the part that floored...

Looks like May’s selection is Angels & Airwaves’ “I-Empire”.

Day 21: Yngwie Malmsteen May 2019, House of Blues– Play something with a shredding guitar solo. Vektor - Black Future Thrash/Black metal record with killer solos and riffs galore.

I had pre-ordered Max Roach but I now have zero confidence that will ever materialize. I just sent them an email asking for a refund on that. Fingers crossed. And then last week I bought a couple of the Impulse titles from TBT (Sun Ra and Pharoah Sanders) with store credit and just got...

Day 18: Madness / Fishbone / Pandoras May 1986, Hollywood Palladium – Don’t remember a whole lot of this night, other than there was a lot of energy and dancing. Play some Reggae / Ska or something worthy of a Party At Ground Zero. The Congos - Heart of The Congos

Day 17: The Pogues October 2009, House of Blues – Play an artist who speaks to you with their lyrics or delivery. Nina Simone - High Priestess of Soul She had such a powerful and distinct voice. I find myself hanging on to every word she sings.

Day 16: Drive~By Truckers May 2010, House of Blues – Play something by an artist you wish you could have seen. I’ve listened to/watched a lot of Who live performances over the years. They are definitely THE band I’d want to see if I had access to a time machine.

I bought this last night and it arrived today. Spinning it right now and my copy sounds good. Not mind blowingly good, but good. Slightly warped but no surface noise. For that price, definitely worth it.

Day 15: Flight To Mars May 2012, The Casbah – Play something with a guest star. Alice Coltrane - Ptah the El Daoud Featuring Phaoroh Sanders and Joe Henderson

Good point. Guess I just would love to have a beefy box set of their first 6 albums and call it a day.

I’m surprised they didn’t just do a boxset for the first few albums. That would’ve sold really well I imagine.

In for both of these, even though I already have a copy of Paranoid.

Day 14: Oingo Boingo December 1986, Hollywood Palladium – Play something for a friend. Wu-Tang Clan - The W Playing this for my friend Brian. Due to life circumstances, we don’t really get to see each other any more, but we used to go to concerts together a lot. Last show we went to together...

Day 13: Tash Sultana October 2019, Ohana Festival – Play something by a solo artist. Patti Smith - Horses

Day 12: The Strokes October 2019, Ohana Festival – Play something by an artist with rabid fans. Death Grips - The Money Store I knew Death Grips fans could be a bit much. And I was expecting the crowd to be pretty wild when I went to see them live. But I did NOT expect the level of intensity...

Day 11: Steely Dan May 2022, North Island Amphitheater– Play something by an artist who had a release that disappointed you, or that was disappointing in concert. Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City From their debut to their 3rd album (this one) I thought Vampire Weekend was getting...
