April 2025 Spin Challenge – Well, this is puzzling…

Day 15 - It’s tax day in the US. Spin any record or song that mentions taxes or money / finances or a record on the IRS label

Daniel Romano's Outfit "Too Hot To Sleep" (2024 You've Changed Records)
Southern Ontario's Daniel Romano normally plays a mish mash of countrified folk rock with psychedelic elements, but as part of his Outfit side-project, he goes pop punk / power pop. His voice has that Tom Petty-ish twang that goes great with the rambunctious energy of the record. The track "That's Too Rich" fits the prompt, with its theme of wealth inequality. 🍁

Day 2 - It's International Guitar Month. Spin an album that includes a favorite guitarist(s) and if so inclined, tell us why they're a favorite.


Masayoshi Takanaka (高中正義) - Alone

20250415_091552.jpg

He's a S H R D D R with a beloved discography by both jazz-fusion and city pop listeners. If you can tap into both, you very likely have a place in my heart.


Also Grimes sample lmao:

Thee Heart Tones
- "No Longer Mine"

I think I found Thee Heart Tones in a recommended post on Instagram since I don't follow Big Crown as closely as I do with Colemine & Daptone. This was the first song from them and I loved it so much I went out and got the 45 & album!

Day 15: Taxes or Money

Parlor Greens
- "Driptorch"

The b-side is a non-album jam called "200 Dollar Blues".
